(f)

Item 3.

Source or Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The Tender and Support Agreement (as defined below) was entered into by Europa to facilitate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement described in Item 4. Europa did not receive additional consideration in connection with the execution and delivery of the Tender and Support Agreement.

Item 4.

Purpose of the Transaction.

The Merger Agreement

On October 21, 2009, the Issuer, GenNx360 GVI Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and GenNx360 GVI Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub will commence a tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to acquire all of the Issuer’s outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), for $0.38 per share payable net to the seller in cash, without interest and subject to any tax withholding (the “Offer Price”). The Merger Agreement also provides that following completion of the Tender Offer, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”) with the Issuer surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. At the effective time of the Merger, all remaining outstanding shares of Common Stock not tendered in the Tender Offer (other than shares of Common Stock (i) owned by Parent, Merger Sub, the Issuer and its subsidiaries and (ii) for which appraisal has been properly demanded under Delaware law) will be acquired for cash at the Offer Price and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

CUSIP No. 36242E200 13D Page 6 of 9 Pages

The Merger Agreement provides that Parent will cause Merger Sub to commence, and Merger Sub will commence, the Tender Offer no later than ten business days after the date of the Merger Agreement. In the Tender Offer, each share of Common Stock accepted by Merger Sub in accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer will be exchanged for the right to receive the Offer Price. Parent will cause Merger Sub to accept for payment, and Merger Sub will accept for payment, all shares of Common Stock validly tendered and not withdrawn, pursuant to the terms of the Tender Offer, as soon as practicable following the Tender Offer’s expiration date (in no event sooner than 20 business days after the Tender Offer has commenced).

The Issuer has also granted to Parent an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”), which Parent may exercise at the time of or immediately after the acceptance for payment of, and payment by Merger Sub for, any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Offer, to purchase from the Issuer the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the lesser of (i) that number of shares of Common Stock that, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock owned by Merger Sub as of immediately prior to the exercise of the Top-Up Option, constitutes one share more than 90% of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding on a fully diluted basis (after giving effect to the issuance of the Top-Up Option shares) or (ii) the aggregate of the number of shares of Common Stock held as treasury shares by the Issuer and its subsidiaries and the number of shares of Common Stock that the Issuer is authorized to issue under its certificate of incorporation but that are not issued and outstanding (and are not reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of options) as of immediately prior to the exercise of the Top-Up Option. If Parent or Merger Sub acquires more than 90% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, including through exercise of the Top-Up Option, it will complete the Merger through the “short form” procedures available under Delaware law.

The Merger Agreement provides that, after such time as Merger Sub accepts for payment and pays for any shares of Common Stock validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, and as long as Parent directly or indirectly beneficially owns not less than a majority of the issued and outstanding Common Stock, Merger Sub will be entitled to elect or designate to serve on the board of directors of the Issuer the number of directors (rounded up to the next whole number) determined by multiplying the total number of directors on the board of directors (giving effect to the directors elected or designated by Merger Sub pursuant to this sentence) by a fraction having a numerator equal to the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by Merger Sub or any other subsidiary of Parent (including shares of Common Stock accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer and any shares of Common Stock issued in connection with Merger Sub’s exercise of its Top-Up Option), and having a denominator equal to the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding.

The Tender and Support Agreement

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Europa entered into a Tender and Support Agreement with Parent (the “Tender and Support Agreement”) whereby it agreed to tender its shares in the Offer and vote in favor of the Merger, subject to certain terms and conditions, and has granted an irrevocable proxy to Parent to accomplish the same.

In addition, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each warrant that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) will become fully vested and exercisable in full prior to the Effective Time. Each warrant outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, be cancelled, and Europa shall be entitled to receive from the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”) immediately after the Effective Time, in exchange for the cancellation of such warrant, an amount in cash (the “Cash Amount”) equal to (A) the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the Offer Price over the exercise price per share of such warrant, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares subject to such warrant, as applicable, less (B) any applicable withholdings for taxes.

The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement and the Tender and Support Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to those documents as filed as exhibits hereto.

CUSIP No. 36242E200 13D Page 7 of 9 Pages

Other than set forth above, and to the extent not in contravention to the foregoing, Europa may review its investment in the Issuer from time to time on the basis of various factors, including the Issuer’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic and industry conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the Issuer’s stock in particular, as well as other developments and other investment opportunities. Based upon such review, Europa may take such actions in the future as it may deem appropriate in light of the circumstances existing from time to time, which may include acquisitions of shares of Common Stock or disposal of some or all of the shares of Common Stock currently owned by it or otherwise acquired by it, either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

Other than set forth above, the Reporting Persons do not have any other present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the matters enumerated in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of item 4 of Schedule 13D, but reserve the right, based on all relevant factors and subject to applicable law, at any time and from time to time to review or reconsider their position, change their position, take other actions (including actions that could involve one or more of the types of transactions or have one or more of the results described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D) or formulate and implement plans or proposals with respect to any of the foregoing.
