The total amount of funds used by the Reporting Persons to purchase the securities of the Issuer as described herein was $30,654,000. Each Subsidiary contributed 25% of the total amount of funds. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION. Pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated May 11, 2004 (the "Purchase Agreement"), by and among the Issuer, Berkley and, for purposes of Section 2.4 of the Purchase Agreement, Veqtor Finance Company, L.L.C. ("VFC"), Samstock, L.L.C. ("Samstock"), John R. Klopp ("Klopp"), JRK Investment Partnership LP ("Klopp LP"), Craig M. Hatkoff ("Hatkoff") and CMH Investment Partnership LP ("Hatkoff LP" and, collectively with VFC, Samstock, Klopp, Klopp LP and Hatkoff, the "Shareholders"), the Reporting Persons acquired from the Issuer 1,310,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Tranche 1 Shares") and four Warrants for Common Stock, each dated as of May 11, 2004 (the "Warrants"), for an aggregate purchase price of $30,654,000. The Warrants were issued by the Issuer to each of Admiral, BIC, BRIC and Nautilus (collectively, the "Holders") and grant the Holders the right to purchase, in the aggregate, up to 365,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Warrant Shares") at an exercise price of $23.40 per share, or an aggregate exercise price of $8,541,000. Each of the Warrants may be exercised subject to shareholder approval at the Issuer's 2004 annual meeting (scheduled for June 17, 2004) and expiring at 5:00 p.m. on December 31, 2004. Subject to the receipt of shareholder approval and the satisfaction or waiver of other conditions, the Reporting Persons are required under the Purchase Agreement to purchase an additional 325,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Tranche 2 Shares") at a purchase price of $23.40 per share, or an aggregate purchase price of $7,605,000. Subject to these conditions, the issuance and sale of the Tranche 2 Shares is expected to occur on or about June 18, 2004. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Issuer agreed to appoint one designee of the Reporting Persons to its Board of Directors, and thereafter nominate this designee or alternative designee for election to the Board at each subsequent annual meeting of shareholders subject to certain conditions relating to the Reporting Persons continued ownership of the Issuer's Common Stock. Effective May 11, 2004, pursuant to such designation right, the Board appointed Joshua A. Polan a director of the Issuer. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Shareholders agreed to vote all shares of the Issuer's Common Stock they beneficially own or over which they have voting control over in favor of the continued election of the Reporting Persons' Board designee. In addition, the Shareholders agreed not to take, or support the taking of, any action to remove as a director the Reporting Persons' Board designee, unless the Reporting Persons request that such director be removed (in which case the Shareholders agreed to 8 cooperate in effecting such removal and electing a replacement). The Shareholders agreed to vote at the Issuer's 2004 annual meeting of shareholders all shares of the Issuer's Common Stock they beneficially own or over which they have voting control over in favor of the issuance of the Tranche 2 Shares and the Warrant Shares. The Shareholders will report aggregate beneficial ownership of 2,427,576 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, which shares represent 29.7% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer's Common Stock (calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1)). The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of any shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the Shareholders. The Shareholders will disclaim beneficial ownership of any shares of the Issuer's Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons. Neither the Tranche 1 Shares, the Tranche 2 Shares, the Warrants nor the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise thereof are registered for re-sale by the Reporting Persons under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Under that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated May 11, 2004 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), by and among the Issuer and Berkley, subject to certain conditions, the Reporting Persons have the right to cause the Issuer to effect a registration under the Securities Act with respect to any such shares of Common Stock, as well as certain other shares of Common Stock that they may then hold. The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement, which are incorporated in this Schedule 13D by reference to Exhibits 2, 3 and 4, respectively, to this Schedule 13D. The acquisition by the Reporting Persons of beneficial ownership of the securities as described herein was effected because of the Reporting Persons' belief that the Issuer represents an attractive investment based on the Issuer's business prospects and strategy. Depending on prevailing market, economic and other conditions, the Reporting Persons may from time to time acquire additional securities of the Issuer, engage in discussions with the Issuer concerning further acquisitions of securities of the Issuer or otherwise invest in the Issuer or one or more of its subsidiaries. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and, depending upon the price and availability of the Issuer's securities, subsequent developments concerning the Issuer, the Issuer's business and prospects, other investment and business opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, general stock market and economic conditions, tax considerations and other factors considered relevant, may decide at any time to increase or decrease the size of their investment in the Issuer or to sell any or all of the securities of the Issuer that they hold. Except as set forth above in this Item 4, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of their knowledge, any person listed in Schedule I to this Schedule 13D, has any plans or proposals which relate 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, 9 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 of Directors; (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, by-laws 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; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. (a) Berkley may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 1,310,000 shares of Common Stock, which represents 16.5% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer. (b) Since each of the Subsidiaries is either directly or indirectly owned by Berkley, Berkley has the sole power to vote or to direct the vote and the sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of the 1,310,000 shares of Common Stock it may be deemed to beneficially own. (c) Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, during the last sixty days there have been no transactions in the Common Stock effected by the Reporting Persons, nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of the persons set forth on Schedule I to this Schedule 13D. (d) Except as set forth in this Item 5, no person other than each respective record owner of securities referred to herein is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities discussed herein. (e) Not applicable. ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
