Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Reference is hereby made to the Credit Agreement, dated as of December 16, 2007 (as amended, modified and supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Epicor Software Corporation (the “Company”), the subsidiaries of the Company party thereto as guarantors (the “Guarantors”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”), Swingline Lender and L/C Issuer. On September 30, 2009, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, among the Company, the Guarantors, the Lenders identified on the signature pages thereto and the Administrative Agent.

Among other things, the Fourth Amendment (i) increased the applicable interest rates and the commitment fees payable under the loan facility, (ii) amended the financial covenants by deleting the total leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio, lowering the maximum senior secured leverage ratio and adding a minimum EBITDA covenant and a minimum liquidity ratio, (iii) amended the definition of Consolidated EBITDA, which is used to calculate the leverage ratio and the definition of base rate under the Credit Agreement, and (iv) amended the maturity date from February 19, 2013 to September 30, 2012. Upon entering into the Fourth Amendment, the Company was required to repay in full the outstanding term loan under the Credit Agreement, which had an outstanding principal balance of $79 million. On September 30, 2009, the Company paid the outstanding term loan balance by drawing $72.5 million under the revolving facility and paying $6.5 million from cash on hand. In connection with the Fourth Amendment, the Company paid amendment fees to the Lenders approving the Fourth Amendment and an arrangement fee to Banc of America Securities LLC.

The foregoing description of the Fourth Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Fourth Amendment, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
