Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On December 29, 2006, Pegasystems Inc. (the "Company") and Richard Jones, a member of the Company's Board of Directors, entered into an Amendment to Stock Option Grant (the "Amendment"), in relation to an option granted to Mr. Jones in October 2001 to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the "October 2001 Option"). The Amendment increased the exercise price of this option from $2.331 per share to $4.01 per share.

The Company determined that the original exercise price for the October 2001 Option was below the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date when the grant became effective. To the extent that the October 2001 Option vested after December 31, 2004, Mr. Jones could have been deemed to have received nonqualified deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company and Mr. Jones entered into the Amendment in order to avoid the receipt of nonqualified deferred compensation by Mr. Jones in connection with the October 2001 Option, in accordance with Notice 2006-100 issued by the Internal Revenue Service on November 30, 2006.
