     (d)-(e) Information with respect to each Reporting Person is given solely by such Reporting Person, and no Reporting Person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information furnished by another Reporting Person. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim that they have agreed to act as a group other than as described in this Statement.

     None of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of their knowledge, the Reporting Persons’ executive officers, managing directors or general partners (as applicable) has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or been party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceedings was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

     (f)  Citizenship: The information set forth in Item 2(a) of this Statement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

     Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

     On June 6, 2003, Frontenac VIII acquired 19,385 shares of Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $19,385,000 and Frontenac Masters VIII acquired 865 shares of Preferred Stock for $865,000. Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible at any time, at Frontenac VIII’s and Frontenac Masters VIII’s (respectively) option, into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be converted times $1,000, and (ii) divided by the conversion price then in effect. The terms upon which the Preferred Stock may be converted into Common Stock are set forth in the Articles of Amendment filed by the Issuer with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida on June 5, 2003 (the “Articles of Amendment”), which is attached hereto as Exhibit D and is incorporated herein by reference. At this time, the conversion price at which the shares of Preferred Stock may be converted into Common Stock is $5.44. As of June 6, 2003, the Preferred Stock owned by Frontenac VIII was convertible into 3,563,419 shares of Common Stock and the Preferred Stock owned by Frontenac Masters VIII was convertible into 159,007 shares of Common Stock. Frontenac VIII’s and Frontenac Masters VIII’s source of funds for these acquisitions of shares was capital contributions from each of their respective investors.

     The information set forth in Item 4 of this Statement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

     Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

     On June 6, 2003, the Issuer completed the issuance and sale of 30,000 shares of Preferred Stock to Frontenac VIII, Frontenac Masters VIII, SunTrust Equity Funding, LLC (“SunTrust”), BVCF IV, L.P. (“BVCF IV”) and C&B Capital, L.P. (“C&B,” and together with Frontenac VIII, Frontenac Masters VIII, SunTrust and BVCF IV, the “Investors,” and individually, an “Investor”) for an aggregate purchase price of $30 million. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Issuer intends to use a portion of the net proceeds to purchase from Charles S. Craig, one of the Issuer’s directors and founders, a sufficient number of Mr. Craig’s shares of Common Stock to reduce his beneficial ownership of the Issuer’s Common Stock below 10%, with the remainder of the net proceeds to be added to the Issuer’s unrestricted cash and available for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions.

     Purchase Agreement

     On April 24, 2003, the Issuer entered into a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with Frontenac VIII, Frontenac Masters VIII, SunTrust and BVCF IV, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Purchase Agreement”). The Purchase Agreement was subsequently amended on June 3, 2003, pursuant

Page 7 of 16 Pages


 

         
CUSIP No. 374393106   13D   Page 8 of 16 Pages

to the First Amendment to the Purchase Agreement (the “First Amendment”) pursuant to which C&B was added as a party to the Purchase Agreement. A copy of the Purchase Agreement and the First Amendment are attached hereto as Exhibit B and Exhibit C, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

     Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (as amended), the Investors agreed to purchase an aggregate of 30,000 shares of Preferred Stock for a purchase price of $1,000 per share of Preferred Stock, or $30.0 million in the aggregate. Except as otherwise required by law and the Voting Rights Letter Agreement (the “Voting Rights Letter Agreement”) (which is attached hereto as Exhibit G and incorporated herein by reference), the Preferred Stock will vote with the holders of the Issuer’s Common Stock on an as-if-converted basis on all matters. The terms of the Articles of Amendment provide that so long as Frontenac VIII and Frontenac Masters VIII (together, “Frontenac”), are the Majority Holders, the Issuer must obtain the approval of the Majority Holders prior to taking certain actions and corporate transactions, as set forth in the Articles of Amendment which is attached hereto as Exhibit D and incorporated herein by reference. Prior to transferring any shares of Preferred Stock, the transferring shareholder must give the Issuer the opportunity to make an offer for the shares of Preferred Stock. Generally, the term “Majority Holders” is defined to mean the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Preferred Stock, excluding any shares of Preferred Stock held by a holder or group of affiliated holders of less than 10% of the then outstanding Preferred Stock.

     The Articles of Amendment further provides that so long as Frontenac is the Majority Holder, the holders of the Preferred Stock, voting separately by one vote for each share of Preferred Stock, will be entitled to elect two directors (the “Series A Directors”) to serve as members of the Issuer’s board. The Series A Directors will not be divided into classes and will be in addition to the maximum number of directors who may be elected by the holders of the Issuer’s Common Stock. Additionally, the Articles of Amendment provides, in the event of certain circumstances, the holders of the Preferred Stock the right to elect an additional Series A Director.

     The right of holders of the Preferred Stock to elect the Series A Directors shall terminate on the earlier to occur of the date when Frontenac is no longer the Majority Holder and the date on which there are no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding. The preceding summary of the terms of the Purchase Agreement (as amended) and the Articles of Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit B; the First Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit C and the Articles of Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit D, and each are, respectively, incorporated herein by reference.

     Registration Rights Agreement

     On June 6, 2003, the Issuer entered into a Registration Rights Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Investors.

     The Registration Rights Agreement provides that the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) then outstanding may request up to three registrations under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their Conversion Shares on Form S-1 and the holders of at least 25% of the Conversion Shares then outstanding may request an unlimited number of registrations under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their Conversion Shares on Form S-3; provided, however, that the aggregate offering value of the Conversion Shares requested to be registered in any demand registration must equal at least $10 million for a registration on Form S-1 and at least $2 million for a registration on Form S-3. In addition, the Investors will have unlimited “piggyback” registration rights under which they will have the right to request that the Issuer register their Conversion Shares whenever the Issuer registers any of the Issuer’s

Page 8 of 16 Pages


 

         
CUSIP No. 374393106   13D   Page 9 of 16 Pages

securities under the Securities Act and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of their Conversion Shares. Such “piggyback” registration rights will not be available if the piggyback registration is in connection with an underwritten registration and the managing underwriter concludes that including Conversion Shares owned by holders of “piggyback” registration rights would have an adverse impact on the marketing of the securities to be sold in the underwritten offering or for registrations undertaken because of a demand registration. The preceding summary of the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit E and incorporated herein by reference.

     Co-Investment Agreement

     Pursuant to the terms of the Co-Investment Agreement, dated as of June 6, 2003 (the “Co-Investment Agreement”), by and among Frontenac VIII, Frontenac Masters VIII, SunTrust, BVCF IV and C&B, the Investors (other than BVCF IV) agreed to vote all of their respective shares of Preferred Stock on matters relating to (i) the designation, election and removal of the directors to be elected by the holders of the Preferred Stock (as described above) and (ii) the making of all other decisions and exercise of all other rights expressly granted to the Majority Holders, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (as amended) or the Articles of Amendment, as directed by Frontenac. Additionally, Frontenac has agreed not to transfer any shares of Preferred Stock without providing “tag along” rights to the Co-Investors, and the Co-Investors must, in connection with a Change in Ownership, Fundamental Change or Organic Change (as such terms are defined in the Articles of Amendment attached hereto as Exhibit D and incorporated herein by reference) either convert their Preferred Stock or participate in and facilitate such transaction. The preceding summary of the Co-Investment Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of the Co-Investment Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit F and incorporated herein by reference.

     Except as set forth in this Item 4 and in Item 5 below, as of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons do not have any plan or proposal that relates to or would result in:

  (a)   The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer;
 
  (b)   An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;
 
  (c)   A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;
 
  (d)   Any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;
 
  (e)   Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer;
 
  (f)   Any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure;
 
  (g)   Changes in the Issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person;
 
  (h)   Causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;

CUSIP No. 374393106   13D   Page 10 of 16 Pages

  (i)   A class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or
 
  (j)   Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to effect any such actions as any of them may deem necessary or appropriate in the future. In determining whether to sell their shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock or Preferred Stock (and in what amounts) or to retain such shares, the Reporting Persons will take into consideration such factors as they deem relevant, including the business and prospects of the Issuer, anticipated future developments concerning the Issuer, existing and anticipated market conditions from time to time, general economic conditions, regulatory matters, and other opportunities available to the Reporting Persons. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to acquire additional securities of the Issuer in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions (which may be with the Issuer, with any Investor or with third parties) or otherwise, to dispose of all or a portion of their holdings of securities of the Issuer or to change their intention with respect to any or all of the matters referred to in this Item 4.

     The information set forth in Item 3 of this Statement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

Also as of such date, Frontenac Masters VIII beneficially owned 159,007 shares of Common Stock (on an as-converted basis as described in Item 3), constituting approximately 0.75% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer.

     As a result of certain of the provisions contained in the Co-Investment Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the shares of Preferred Stock held by SunTrust and C&B (C&B, together with SunTrust, the “Co-Investors”). As of the date hereof, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owner, within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, of an aggregate of 4,779,412 shares of Common Stock, which is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock held by Frontenac VIII, Frontenac Masters VIII, SunTrust and C&B, constituting approximately 18.48% of the Common Stock outstanding on an as-if converted basis.
