EXPLANATORY
NOTE
This
Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) amends the Statement of Beneficial Ownership
on Schedule 13D, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”) on September 15, 2008 (the “Schedule 13D”), as amended by Amendment
No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on June 12, 2009, on behalf of CVC
California, LLC (“CVC”), ComVest Capital, LLC (“Capital”), ComVest Capital
Management LLC (“Management”), Michael S. Falk and Robert L. Priddy
(collectively, the “Reporting Persons”). All capitalized terms not
otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings attributed to such
terms in the Schedule 13D.
On
September 4, 2008, General Environmental Management, Inc. (the “Issuer”) entered
into a series of agreements with CVC, including a Revolving Credit and Term Loan
Agreement (the "Agreement"), a Convertible Term Note (the "Convertible Note"),
three warrants (Nos. CV-1, CV-2 and CV-3) to purchase an aggregate of 3,000,000
shares of the Company's common stock (the “Warrants”) and a Registration Rights
Agreement (collectively, the “2008 Agreements”). The 2008 Agreements are more
fully described in the Schedule 13D. In June 2009 and September 2009,
CVC and the Issuer entered into certain amendments with respect to the 2008
Agreements. On February 26, 2010, the Issuer sold certain business
assets, and a majority of the proceeds of such sale were utilized to repay the
Convertible Note and certain other loan obligations owed to CVC, and to pay a
portion of the repurchase price in respect of the remaining outstanding
Warrants.
This
Schedule 13D is being filed by the Reporting Persons to disclose information
regarding the February 2010 transactions and to update the Reporting Persons’
beneficial ownership as a result of such transactions.
Item
3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other
Consideration
Item 3 is
hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
The total
amount of funds required by CVC to purchase the Convertible Note and the
Warrants was $5,000,000 and was furnished from the working capital of
CVC. No funds were borrowed in connection with such
purpose. No funds were required on the part of CVC in connection with
the amendments effected in June 2009 (the “Initial Amendments”) or the
amendments effected in September 2009 (the “Second Amendments”), or in
connection with the repayment of the Convertible Note and the retirement of the
Warrants in February 2010.
Item
4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 3 is
hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
CVC
acquired the Convertible Note and the Warrants in connection with a commercial
loan made in the ordinary course of its business.
The
Initial Amendments were entered into to minimize the likelihood of default by
the Issuer and to facilitate the repayment terms under the Convertible
Note. Pursuant to the Initial Amendments, among other things, (i) the
Conversion Price (as such term is defined in the Convertible Note) under the
Convertible Note was reduced to $0.75 per share, subject to further adjustments
from time to time in accordance with the Convertible Note, (ii) the exercise
price of Warrant No. CV-2 held by CVC was amended to $0.70 per share of Common
Stock, subject to further adjustments from time to time in accordance with such
warrant, and (iii) Warrant No. CV-3 held by CVC was cancelled. CVC
entered into the Initial Amendments in the ordinary course of its business, and
in connection with the Initial Amendments, CVC purchased 600,000 shares of
Common Stock at a price of $.01 per share (which was paid by crediting the
aggregate purchase price to the outstanding balance of the Issuer’s revolving
credit loans owed to CVC).

The
Second Amendments were entered into to restructure the payment terms applicable
to the Issuer’s credit facilities with CVC. Pursuant to the Second
Amendments, among other things, (i) the Conversion Price under the Convertible
Note was reduced to $0.60 per share, subject to further adjustments from time to
time in accordance with the Convertible Note, and (ii) Warrants Nos. CV-1 and
CV-2 were consolidated into a single Warrant (No. CV-4) covering an aggregate of
2,700,000 shares of common stock of the Issuer, at a reduced exercise price of
$0.01 per share.
On
February 26, 2010, in connection with the Issuer’s sale of substantial business
assets, CVC exercised its right to require the Issuer to repurchase Warrant No.
CV-4 for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000, of which $500,000 was paid
in cash out of the proceeds of the asset sale, and the remaining $1,500,000 was
paid through the issuance to CVC of 3,750,000 shares of Common
Stock.
As a
result of the aforedescribed transactions, all of the Warrants have been
canceled, and CVC now holds the 600,000 shares of Common Stock purchased in
connection with the Initial Amendments and the 3,750,000 shares of Common Stock
issued in partial payment of the redemption price for the Warrants.
Other
than as set forth above, the Reporting Persons have no present plans or
proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in
paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting
Persons may, at any time and from time to time, renew or reconsider their
position and formulate plans or proposals with respect to any of the matters
referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule
13D.
Item
5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
