                                SPECIAL FACTORS

CERTAIN LITIGATION

   The discussion set forth in "Special Factors--Certain Litigation" of the
Offer to Purchase is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

   On October 25 and 26, 2000, and November 1, 2000, following the joint press
release of Trilogy and pcOrder on October 25, 2000 announcing the Merger
Agreement, five purported stockholder class action lawsuits were filed against
pcOrder, its five directors, and Trilogy in the Delaware Court of Chancery
entitled Sidney Issacs v. pcOrder.com, et al., C.A. No. 18454; Thomas L. Hanley
v. pcOrder.com, et al., C.A. No. 18458NC; Andy Hickman v. pcOrder.com, et al.
C.A. No. 18455; Amy Collins v. pcOrder.com, et al., C.A. No. 18459NC and
Jeanette Corpus v. pcOrder.com, et al., C.A. No. 18472NC (collectively the
"DELAWARE LAWSUITS"). On October 26, 2000, November 8, 2000, and November 28,
2000, three similar purported class action lawsuits (the "TEXAS LAWSUITS") were
filed against the same defendants in the District Court of Travis County, Texas
entitled James F. Martens v. pcOrder.com et al., Cause No. GN003141
("MARTENS"), Jerry Krim v. pcOrder.com et al., Cause No. GN003237 ("KRIM #1"),
and Marilyn Stahl v. pcOrder, et al., Cause No. GN003407 ("STAHL"). The
Delaware Lawsuits have since been voluntarily dismissed without prejudice.

   According to Martens, the individual defendants breached their fiduciary
duty to the stockholders of pcOrder in connection with the Merger Agreement by
failing to provide an appropriate process for eliciting and evaluating bids.
Martens further alleges that the actions of the individual defendants were
taken solely to serve their own interests and/or the interests of pcOrder's
largest stockholder, while inhibiting the "maximization" of stockholder value.
Martens also alleges that pcOrder's earnings results were withheld until after
the Merger Agreement was announced in order to artificially limit the price of
the Shares. On November 17, 2000, the defendants removed Martens from Texas
state court to Federal court and shortly thereafter filed a motion to have the
Federal court dismiss Martens with prejudice on the grounds that the
plaintiff's claims are preempted by the Securities Litigation Uniform Standards
Act of 1998. On November 30, 2000, the plaintiff attempted without leave of
court to have the Federal court dismiss Martens without prejudice. On December
5, 2000, in connection with a hearing on Stahl (discussed below), the Federal
court indicated that it would grant a motion for remand of Martens back to
state court. On December 6, 2000, plaintiff filed such a motion and the Federal
court remanded Martens to state court.

   The allegations in Krim #1, while not identical to those in Martens, claimed
essentially the same basic grounds for relief. Krim #1 alleged that the
defendants breached their fiduciary duty to the stockholders of pcOrder by
orchestrating the purchase of the Shares so that the public stockholders were
deprived of an "adequate" or "fair" price. It also alleged that Trilogy has a
conflict of interest and committed this breach of fiduciary duty solely to
benefit itself in the Offer and the Merger. The individual defendants were
alleged to have "acquiesced" in Trilogy's wrongdoing. Krim #1 also alleged that
pcOrder's earnings results were withheld until after the Merger Agreement was
announced in order to artificially limit the price of the Shares. On December
5, 2000, the defendants removed Krim #1 to Federal court. On December 6, 2000,
the plaintiff amended his complaint to repeat the allegations of Krim #1 and
add allegations of violations by the defendants of their disclosure obligations
under the Federal securities laws in the prospectuses used by pcOrder in
connection with its initial public offering in February 1999 and its December
1999 follow-on offering and the tender offer materials being used in connection
with the Offer (as so amended, Jerry Krim v. pcOrder.com et al., Civil Action
No. A-00-CA-776-SS, in the United States District Court for the Western
District of Texas, Austin Division ("KRIM #2")). These new allegations include
claims that pcOrder did not have budget or expense controls or the ability to
report meaningful operating financial information on a timely basis at the time
of its February 1999 initial public offering or its December 1999 follow-on
offering and thus the operating expenses, net income figures, statements of
cash flows and balance sheets included in the prospectuses relating to those
securities offerings were false and misleading. These new allegations also
include a claim that the materials relating to the Offer are false and
misleading because they do not contain projections beyond the fourth quarter of
2001 or disclose whether the pcOrder Board or pcOrder Special Committee
considered such

                                      S-3
<PAGE>

projections in deciding to approve the Offer and the Merger. The defendants
believe that the new allegations are without merit and intend to vigorously
defend against them.

   The allegations of Stahl are virtually identical to those of Martens. On
November 28, 2000, a Texas state court, on the ex parte application of the
plaintiff, issued a temporary restraining order in Stahl that prohibited
Trilogy and pcOrder from proceeding with the Offer pending a hearing, which the
court scheduled for December 12, 2000, on plaintiff's motion for a preliminary
injunction against the Offer. On December 1, 2000, the defendants removed Stahl
from Texas state court to Federal court. On December 5, 2000, the Federal court
remanded Stahl back to state court. On December 6, 2000, upon the stipulation
of the parties, the state court dissolved the temporary restraining order and
confirmed that the hearing on the plaintiff's preliminary injunction motion
would proceed on December 12, 2000, as scheduled.

   All of the Texas Lawsuits seek declarations that the defendants breached
their fiduciary duties (or acquiesced in the breach), unspecified damages and
an award of attorneys' fees, among other relief, except that Stahl does not
claim monetary damages. All of the Texas Lawsuits include a request for an
injunction declaring the suits maintainable as class actions. Each of the Texas
Lawsuits seeks to enjoin the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement,
including the Merger and the Offer, or to rescind the transactions in the event
they are consummated or to obtain rescissory damages. All of the Texas Lawsuits
also seek further declarations that the approval of the Merger Agreement
constituted a breach of fiduciary duty and as a result is a nullity, and a
further injunction directing the individual defendants to obtain a transaction
that is in the best interests of stockholders. Stahl also seeks a declaration
ordering Trilogy to disseminate corrected Offer materials.

   Although Krim #2 and Martens include general claims for injunctive relief,
to the knowledge of pcOrder and Trilogy, neither of the plaintiffs in those
cases has filed a motion seeking a court order prohibiting the closing of the
Offer or the Merger. The complaints in the Texas Lawsuits have been filed as
exhibits to the Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by Trilogy on November 6,
as amended, and the Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 filed by
pcOrder and Sub on November 17, 2000, as amended. See "The Tender Offer--
Section 15. Miscellaneous" in the Offer to Purchase.

                                THE TENDER OFFER

1. Terms of the Offer; Expiration Date.

   The discussion set forth in "The Tender Offer--Section 1. Terms of the
Offer; Expiration Date" of the Offer to Purchase is amended and supplemented as
follows:

   EXPIRATION DATE

   Trilogy has extended the Offer to acquire any and all of the outstanding
Shares of pcOrder for $6.375 per Share, net to the tendering stockholder in
cash. The Offer and withdrawal rights will now expire at 12:00 midnight, New
York City time, on Wednesday, December 19, unless the Offer is further
extended.

   Trilogy has been informed by the Depositary that, based on the Depositary's
preliminary count, 4,761,440 Shares (or approximately 76.3% of the outstanding
Shares), including Shares tendered by guaranteed delivery, had been tendered as
of the close of business on December 6, 2000. These tendered Shares, when
combined with the 10,312,620 shares of Class B common stock already owned by
Trilogy (which are convertible into an equivalent number of Shares), if
purchased pursuant to the Offer, would result in Trilogy owning a total of
15,078,060 Shares, or approximately 91.1%, of the total then-outstanding Shares
upon conversion of all such shares of Class B common stock. As a result,
Trilogy would own sufficient Shares to complete the Merger as a Short Form
Merger without a vote of the stockholders of pcOrder. See "Introduction" and
"Special Factors--The Merger Agreement--The Merger."
