Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Arrangement.
   
  On July 27, 2005, Viewpoint Corporation and Federal Partners, L.P. amended the 4.95% Subordinated Note in the principal amount of $3,050,000 held by Federal Partners to extend the maturity date from March 31, 2006 to March 31, 2008 in exchange for the payment by Viewpoint of $61,000 to Federal Partners.
 
  In addition, Viewpoint Corporation and Federal Partners entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 27, 2005, under which Viewpoint issued 1,290,323 shares of Viewpoint common stock in a private placement to Federal Partners at a purchase price of $1.55 per share (resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $2,000,000).
 
  The securities offered and sold in the private placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and were sold in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Regulation D.
