This Amendment No. 2 amends the Report on Schedule 13D, originally filed on May 19, 2000 (the "Original Schedule 13D") and subsequently amended by the Amendment No. 1 filed on March 11, 2002 (the "Amendment No. 1", and the Original Schedule 13D as amended by the Amendment No. 1, the "Schedule 13D"). Capitalized terms used without definitions in this Amendment No. 2 shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. References to "herein" and "hereof" are references to the Schedule 13D, as amended by this Amendment No. 2. Change of Reporting Person's Corporate Name In connection with the change of reporting person's corporate name, the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by (i) deleting the Corporate name "Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co." at each instance and replacing each with "Morgan Stanley", and (ii) deleting the defined term "Morgan Stanley Dean Witter" at each instance and replacing it with "Morgan Stanley". Item 1. Security and Issuer. The first paragraph under Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced as follows: This statement relates to the shares of common stock, without par value (the "Common Stock") of Frontstep, Inc. formerly known as Symix Systems, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the "Company"). Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), this statement also relates to shares of Common Stock issuable upon (i) exercise of certain warrants issued by the Company on May 10, 2000 (the "2000 Warrants"); (ii) exercise of certain warrants issued by the Company on March 7, 2002 (the "2002 Warrants", and, together with the 2000 Warrants, the "Warrants"); (iii) conversion of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, without par value (the "Preferred Stock"); and (iv) conversion of the Initial Notes (as defined below) owned by the Reporting Persons. Item 2. Identity and Background. The fifth paragraph under Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby replaced in its entirety as follows: The address of the principal business and principal office of Morgan Stanley, the Funds, MSVP LLC, MSVP Inc., Equity Funding, OIP and MSDW OIP is 1585 Broadway, New York, New York 10036. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by: (a) deleting the second paragraph under the caption "2002 Transaction" in its entirety and replacing it as follows: Simultaneously with entering into the 2002 Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Investors amended and restated the Investor Rights Agreement (the "Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement"). Additionally, pursuant to the 2002 Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell to the 2002 Investors, and the 2002 Investors agreed to purchase, subject to certain conditions, including the approval of the Company's shareholders, in aggregate $3,500,000 principal amount of 10% subordinated convertible notes due May 10, 2004 (the "Convertible Notes"). 11 On June 20, 2002, the Company's Shareholders, among other things, approved the issuance of the Convertible Notes, and the issuance of common shares upon conversion of the Initial Notes. On July 9, 2002, the Company and the 2002 Investors entered into Amendment Number One (the "SPA Amendment") to the 2002 Securities Purchase Agreement. Execution of the SPA Amendment constituted the "Convertible Closing" as such term is defined in the Initial Notes; therefore, the Initial Notes are now convertible, at the election of the holder at any time after July 9, 2002, into Common Stock, at a conversion price per share initially equal to $2.4876. In addition, the SPA Amendment permits the Company to issue Convertible Notes in an amount not to exceed $3,500,000 as the Company requires additional funding for its operating needs provided that the Company provides the 2002 Investors adequate notice and follows certain procedures. As of July 9, 2002, all conditions precedent to the 2002 Investors' obligation to purchase the Convertible Notes, except receipt of any such notices and evidence of compliance with such procedures, have been satisfied. (b) amending the description under the caption "Description of the Initial Notes and 2002 Warrants" by: (i) replacing the first paragraph under the sub-caption "Conversion" in its entirety as follows: Conversion. Pursuant to terms thereof, the Initial Notes owned by the Funds will be convertible into shares of Common Stock, at the election of the holder at any time after July 9, 2002, at a conversion price per share initially equal to $2.4876. (ii) deleting the entire paragraph under the sub-caption "Holder Put Right". (c) amending the description under the caption "Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement" by: (i) deleting the clause "Within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Convertible Notes" and replacing it with "Within 90 days of the date of execution of the SPA Amendment" in the first sentence in the paragraph immediately following the sub-caption "Registration Rights"; and (ii) deleting the second full sentence in the same paragraph in its entirety and replacing it with "As of June 30, 2002, the Company is obligated to use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of the Common Stock into which the 2002 Warrants beneficially owned by the 2002 Investors may be exercised within 90 days of June 30, 2002." (d) replacing the last paragraph of Item 4 in its entirety as follows: The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to: (i) the text of the 2000 Securities Purchase Agreement which was filed as Exhibit 5 to the Original Schedule 13D; (ii) the text of the Form of Article Fourth of the Amended Articles of Incorporation which was filed as Exhibit 3 to the Original Schedule 13D; (iii) the text of the 2002 Securities Purchase Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 6 to the Amendment No. 1; (iv) the text of the Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 5 to the Amendment No. 1; and (v) the text of the SPA Amendment which is filed as Exhibit 7 to this Amendment No. 2. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by: (a) deleting the second and the third paragraphs under Item 5 and replacing them as follows: If all of the outstanding Preferred Stock were converted into Common Stock as of July 9, 2002, the Funds, Equity Funding and OIP would own 1,601,064 shares 12 of Common Stock, which would represent approximately 16.3% of the Common Stock (or approximately 14.4% of the Common Stock if all outstanding options held by employees of the Company that were exercisable had been exercised on July 9, 2002). The Funds, Equity Funding and OIP have acquired and, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, may be deemed to own beneficially, in the aggregate, 400,266 shares of Preferred Stock convertible into 1,601,064 shares of Common Stock, 574,379 Warrants exercisable for 574,379 shares of Common Stock, and $635,418 principal amount of Initial Notes convertible into 255,433 shares of Common Stock. If all of the outstanding Warrants were exercised and all of the Preferred Stock and Initial Notes were converted into Common Stock as of July 9, 2002, the Funds, Equity Funding and OIP would have held an aggregate of 2,430,876 shares of Common Stock, which would have represented approximately 21.2% of the Common Stock (or approximately 19.1% of the Common Stock if all outstanding options held by employees of the Company that were exercisable had been exercised on July 9, 2002). (b) deleting the fifth and the sixth paragraphs under Item 6 and replacing them as follows: Each of Morgan Stanley, MSVP Inc. and MSVP LLC may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to the Common Stock underlying the Preferred Stock, the Warrants, and the Initial Notes beneficially held by the Funds. Morgan Stanley may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to the Common Stock underlying the Preferred Stock, the Warrants, and the Initial Notes beneficially owned by the Funds, MSVP Inc., MSVP LLC, Equity Funding, OIP and MSDW OIP.
