Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

On September 29, 2004, MapInfo Corporation (the "Company"), entered into a loan agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Charter One Bank, N.A. (the "Bank") establishing a $15.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility for the Company. Borrowings under the Loan Agreement will bear interest at a floating rate based on the Bank's prime rate or the rate offered the Bank for Eurodollar deposits by lending banks in the London Interbank Market, at the Company's discretion. This Loan Agreement will terminate on September 28, 2005.

The ability of the Company to borrow under the Loan Agreement is subject to the Company's ongoing compliance with certain financial covenants and other covenants, including a covenant as to the Company's funded debt to cash ratio. In addition, under the terms of the Loan Agreement, if any borrowings are outstanding and any event of default occurs, including a payment default or insolvency of the Company, the Bank would be entitled to accelerate any outstanding amounts owed by the Company. As of October 1, 2004, there are no amounts outstanding under this Loan Agreement.

The Company has obtained this revolving credit facility for working capital and general corporate purposes, including possible acquisitions.
