Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 21, 2011, Convergys Corporation (“Convergys”) amended its existing lease arrangement relating to an office complex that it occupies in Orlando, Florida (the “Amendment”). Convergys leases the property pursuant to an Amended and Restated Participation Agreement dated as of June 30, 2010 (as amended, the “Participation Agreement”) by and among Convergys, the subsidiaries of Convergys party thereto from time to time as guarantors, Wachovia Development Corporation, the various banks and other lending institutions party thereto from time to time, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association.

The primary purpose of the Amendment was to conform the definitions, affirmative covenants and negative covenants in the Participation Agreement with those contained in the credit agreement that Convergys entered into on March 11, 2011 and to add as additional guarantors the subsidiaries of Convergys listed in the next sentence, each of whom also guarantees Convergys’ obligations under the credit agreement. The additional guaranteeing Convergys subsidiaries, all of whom are domestic subsidiaries and each of whom entered into a joinder agreement dated as of April 21, 2011, are: Asset Ohio Fourth Street LLC, Brite Voice Systems, Inc., Convergys Cellular Systems Company, Convergys Customer Management Group Canada Holding Inc., Convergys Customer Management International Inc., and Convergys Finance Corp.

In addition, Convergys has a $125 million asset securitization facility with Wachovia Bank, National Association (a division of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association) and The Bank of Nova Scotia, one of the lenders to the Participation Agreement. The securitization facility is more fully described in Note 7 to Convergys’ Consolidated Financial Statements included in Convergys’ Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

A copy of the Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and the form of joinder agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto.
