     This Amendment No. 3 reflects changes to the information in the Schedule 13D relating to the common stock of the issuer filed November 24, 2008 by the reporting persons with the Commission, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed December 12, 2008 and Amendment No. 2 thereto filed April 20, 2009 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”). Each capitalized term used and not defined in this Amendment shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Schedule 13D. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Item of the Schedule 13D remains unchanged.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
     Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
     “Versata used approximately $1,540,519.37 of Versata’s working capital to purchase the shares of common stock of the issuer reported as beneficially owned by Versata herein.
     Trilogy originally committed to provide for the funds necessary to purchase the securities tendered in the tender offer. Based upon the issuer’s filings with the Commission, Trilogy estimated that funds in the amount of approximately $15.0 million would have been necessary to purchase such securities. The tender offer was not subject to any financing condition.
     The third-party tender offer expired at 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on Tuesday, May 19, 2009. No shares were purchased by Infield Acquisition pursuant to the tender offer, and all shares previously tendered and not withdrawn will be promptly returned as required by law.
     The information, if any, called for by Items 2-6, inclusive, of Schedule 13D with respect to any person enumerated in Instruction C of Schedule 13D and required to be included in this statement is included in Exhibit 99.1 hereto or otherwise herein. The information contained in Exhibit 99.1 hereto and each other Item herein is incorporated by reference in answer or partial answer to this Item.”
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.
     Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
     “On April 20, 2009, Infield Acquisition commenced a third-party tender offer for all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the issuer, together with the associated stock purchase rights, at a net price per Share equal to $0.35 in cash (without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO-T filed April 20, 2009 by Infield Acquisition with the Commission and the related Offer to Purchase dated April 20, 2009 and Letter of Transmittal and each other document filed as an exhibit to the Schedule TO-T. Trilogy Enterprises (a) notified the issuer of the tender offer pursuant to a letter dated April 20, 2009 from Trilogy Enterprises to the issuer’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey H. Coats, and the issuer’s board of directors and (b) announced the tender offer pursuant to a press release dated April 20, 2009 issued by Trilogy Enterprises. The Schedule TO-T (including each exhibit thereto), the Offer to Purchase, the Letter of Transmittal, the letter dated April 20, 2009, and the press release are furnished herewith as exhibits hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
     The third-party tender offer expired at 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on Tuesday, May 19, 2009. No shares were purchased by Infield Acquisition pursuant to the tender offer, and all shares previously tendered and not withdrawn will be promptly returned as required by law.
     On May 19, 2009, Infield Acquisition filed an amendment to the Schedule TO-T with the Commission reporting the results of the tender offer. Trilogy Enterprises sent a letter dated May 19, 2009 to the issuer’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey, H. Coats, and the issuer’s board of directors. The amendment to the Schedule TO-T (including each exhibit thereto) and the letter dated May 19, 2009 are furnished herewith as exhibits hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
     Each reporting person plans to review their investment in the issuer on a continuing basis. Subject to the tender offer and depending upon each factor discussed below and each other factor that is or may become relevant,

 


Table of Contents

each reporting person plans to consider: (i) acquiring additional shares of common stock of the issuer in open market or privately negotiated transactions; (ii) making a proposal or proposals to acquire more (or potentially all) of the equity interests in the issuer, including, without limitation, directly from certain (or potentially all) of the security holders of the issuer; (iii) making a proposal or proposals relating to the acquisition of certain (or potentially all) of the assets of the issuer; (iv) making a shareholder proposal or proposals to request that the issuer consider one or more extraordinary transactions, such as a merger; (v) selling all or part of the securities of the issuer owned by such reporting person in open market or privately negotiated transactions; and (vi) one or more combinations of the foregoing.
     Subject to the tender offer, any open market or privately negotiated purchases or sales, acquisition recommendations or proposals or other transactions may be made at any time without prior notice. Any alternative may depend upon a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the results of the tender offer, current and anticipated future trading prices of the common stock, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the issuer and general industry conditions, the availability, form and terms of financing, other investment and business opportunities, general stock market and economic conditions, tax considerations and other factors. Although the foregoing reflects plans and proposals presently contemplated by each reporting person with respect to the issuer, the foregoing is subject to change at any time and dependent upon contingencies and assumed and speculative conditions, and there can be no assurance that any of the actions set forth above will be taken.
     The information, if any, called for by Items 2-6, inclusive, of Schedule 13D with respect to any person enumerated in Instruction C of Schedule 13D and required to be included in this statement is included in Exhibit 99.1 hereto or otherwise herein. The information contained in Exhibit 99.1 hereto and each other Item herein is incorporated by reference in answer or partial answer to this Item.”
