Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 is hereby amended to add:

FP Tech Holdings, LLC entered into a Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 10, 2008 for the purchase of certain securities of the Issuer held by JP Morgan Securities, Inc. The securities are outlined as follows:

Assignor	Principal Amount of Senior Secured Convertible Note	Senior Secured Convertible Note Conversion Shares	Principal Amount of Senior Secured Subordinated Note
JP Morgan Securities, Inc.	$1,512,000.00	216,000	$327,797.00

The purchased of the listed securities closed on December 12, 2008.

Unless otherwise specified, all funds, or other consideration used to acquire the securities of the Issuer in the transactions described in this Item 3 on behalf of the Reporting Persons have come from the assets controlled by such Reporting Persons and their affiliates.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

(a) - - (f) and (h) - (j): The Reporting Persons acquired the securities of the Issuer in the transactions described in Item 3, incorporated herein by reference, in the belief that the securities were undervalued and in the belief that the Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “CAP Notes”) represent the only class of securities that will be entitled to any recovery upon a foreclosure that will be implemented by the holders of the CAP Notes in the next 30 days. As a result of the acquisition of the CAP Notes, the Reporting Persons now own approximately 60% of the outstanding principal amount of the CAP Notes in addition to approximately 72% of the Issuer’s common stock.

On December 15, 2008, the Issuer received a letter from the Reporting Person (See, Exhibit 1) declaring an Event of Default has occurred under the CAP Notes due to, among other things, the Company’s admission that it cannot meet the minimum “Consolidated EBITDA” as set forth in the CAP Notes. As a consequence, the Reporting Person declared all amounts due and owing under the CAP Notes immediately due and payable. The Reporting Person also stated that it may exercise any and all of its rights and remedies including, without limitation, proceeding to foreclose on its collateral pursuant to Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code.

In a separate letter to the Issuer, also dated December 15, 2008 (See, Exhibit 2), the Reporting Person stated as follows:

“This letter is the follow up to our recent announcement that an affiliate of Acclaim Financial Group, LLC (“AFG”) now holds approximately 60% of the senior secured debt of Firepond. AFG realizes that none of you were at the controls when this indebtedness was incurred and that you could certainly not foresee the drastic turn in the financial markets. All of this is unfortunate, but AFG believes the best plan is to eliminate all of the indebtedness of Firepond, reinvest in the new company and, in the process, save 40 very high paying jobs in Minnesota and continue to offer Firepond’s customers its market-leading configuration, pricing and quoting Software-as-a-Service solution -- CPQ OnDemand.

Process: Counsel for AFG has provided formal notice of foreclosure to Firepond, Bank of New York and Firepond’s other secured creditors. Over the next 30 days, AFG will complete a formal foreclosure and as a result the existing junior creditors and equity of Firepond will be eliminated. Your employees and customers will be unaffected by this legal process. In fact, they will both be in a significantly better position after this process is completed.

New Investment: AFG will provide the new company with a new $10 million line of credit and a new equity investment of $5 million. AFG will invite the other current senior creditors to participate in this new financing, but will complete the financing regardless of their participation. If the new company requires additional capital in the future, AFG stands ready to finance these requirements.

Future Plans: These are obviously very difficult times in the financial markets, but AFG fundamentally believes that Firepond has a bright future as a private company. Firepond has been providing the best CPQ solution for over 25 years, and AFG looks forward to being a part of a stronger company in the future. We intend retain a full time CEO that we are in the process of recruiting, the current President, Brad Sheafe, will move to a Board of Director position, hire additional staff and continue to seek to expand Firepond’s product offerings through research and development and possible acquisitions.”

The Reporting Persons may, from time to time and at any time, acquire additional securities in the open market or otherwise and reserve the right to dispose of any or all of their securities in the open market or otherwise, at any time from time to time, and to engage in any hedging or similar transactions with respect to the securities.

(g) Not applicable.
