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).
 

 
CUSIP No.  36976P207

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

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
(a) and (b)                                 The Reporting Persons beneficially own Common Shares as follows:
