Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On November 24, 2004, we entered into the Sixth Loan Modification Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank. This modification agreement amended the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of June 13, 2002 between us and the bank, as previously amended, by extending the expiration date of our revolving credit facility from November 25, 2004 to December 25, 2004

We agreed to pay the bank a modification fee of approximately $7,000 and to reimburse the bank for its reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with the amendment of the existing loan documents.

We began negotiations with the bank for renewal of the credit facility before our acquisition of Primus Knowledge Solutions, Inc. The Primus acquisition was completed on November 1, 2004, and we entered into the modification agreement to enable us to negotiate a renewed credit facility, based on the combined companies. At November 24, 2004, we had no borrowings outstanding, the bank had issued letters of credit in the aggregate amount of approximately $9.1 million for our account under this credit facility, and approximately $10.9 million was available for borrowings under this credit facility.
