This Amendment No. 4 (“Amendment No. 4”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons (as such term is defined in Item 2) on October 8, 2008 (the “Schedule 13D”).

The information set forth in response to each separate Item below shall be deemed to be a response to all Items where such information is relevant. The information set forth in the Exhibits and Schedule attached hereto is expressly incorporated herein by reference and the response to each item of this Schedule 13D is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of such Exhibits and Schedule.

 

Item 1. Security and Issuer.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background.

 

Item 3. Source Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented to include the following:

In a series of pro-rata partnership transactions completed on August 28, 2009 STG III and STG III-A sold a total of 418,444 shares of Common Stock for approximately $1,701,214

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

7


Item 5.

(a) The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 3,109,731 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”).

The Company has reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that as of July 17,2009, there were 30,189,779 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. The Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons represents approximately 10.3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of June 30, 2009. The foregoing percentage was calculated in accordance with Rue 13d-3(d)(1) of the Exchange Act, which specifically excludes from such calculations all securities not outstanding which are subject to options, warrant, rights or conversion privileges and which are beneficially owned by any person other than the Reporting Persons.

By virtue of the relationships described herein, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act. As a member of a group, each Reporting Person may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to, and therefore beneficially own, the shares beneficially owned by member of the group as a whole. The filing of this Statement shall not be construed as an admission that the Reporting Persons beneficially own those shares held by any other members of the group.

(b) 2,745,580 shares of Common Stock are owned directly by STG III and 364,151 shares of Common Stock are owned directly by STG III-A. STG III GP is the sole general partner of STG III and STG III-A and consequently has the power to vote or direct the voting, or dispose or direct the disposition, of all of the Shares. STG UGP is the sole general partner of STG III GP and controls the voting or disposition of all of the Shares. Dr. Wadhwani is the Manager of STG UPG and either has sole authority and discretion to manage and conduct the affairs of STG UGP or has veto power over the management and conduct of STG UGP. By reason of these relationships, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to share the power to vote or direct the vote and to dispose or direct the disposition of the Shares beneficially owned by such Reporting Person as indicated above.

STG III GP, STG UGP and Dr. Wadhwani each disclaim beneficial ownership of the Shares held directly by STG III and STG III-A except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein. The filing of this Statement shall not be construed as an admission that any of the Reporting Persons share beneficial ownership for purposes of Sections 13(d) of the Exchange Act.

(c) The following charts reflect the transactions in the shares of Common Stock effected by STG III and STG III-A during the past sixty days, all of which were effect on the open market through various brokerage entities.
