THE COMMITMENTS AND EXTENSIONS OF CREDIT

2.1. Loans; Maximum Amounts. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Lender severally agrees to make Loans to (and to issue or participate in Letter of Credit for the account of) the Borrower as follows:

(a) Revolving Loans. Each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make, Convert and Continue loans on a revolving basis (“Revolving Loans”) in Dollars or (in the case of Offshore Rate Loans only) in one or more Alternative Currencies from time to time until the Maturity Date in such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such aggregate amounts as Borrower may from time to time request from all such Revolving Lenders; provided, however, that (i) the Revolving Outstandings of all Revolving Lenders shall not exceed at any time the combined Revolving Commitments, as the same may be from time to time adjusted in accordance with this Agreement; (ii) the Revolving Outstandings of each Revolving Lender shall not at any time exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, as the same may be from time to time adjusted in accordance with this Agreement; (iii) the Dollar Equivalent of the Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the combined Revolving Commitments, as the same may be from time to time adjusted in accordance with this Agreement; (iv) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate Revolving Outstandings of any Revolving Lender shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, as the same may be from time to time adjusted in accordance with this Agreement; and (v) the Dollar Equivalent of the combined Revolving Outstandings of all Revolving Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies shall not exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit. The amount of the combined Revolving Commitments initially


Credit Agreement		Epicor Software Corporation

totals USD$100,000,000. This is a revolving credit and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Borrower may borrow, Convert, Continue, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans as set forth herein without premium or penalty.

(b) Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Term Lender severally agrees to make a loan to the Borrower (the “Term Loan”) in Dollars and consisting of one (1) Type of Loan on March 31, 2006 in such Term Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan Commitment. The Term Loan Commitment shall expire concurrently with the making of the Term Loan on March 31, 2006. Once prepaid or repaid, the Term Loan may not be reborrowed. The Term Loan may only be incurred and, for a period of fourteen (14) days after the Closing Date, maintained as a Base Rate Loan. Thereafter, the Term Loan may, except as set forth herein, at the option of the Borrower, be maintained as, or converted into, a Loan that is a Base Rate Loan or an Offshore Rate Loan, in each case denominated in Dollars. The Term Loan shall be repaid in accordance with Section 2.4 and Section 2.6.

(c) Letters of Credit. Subject to Section 2.3, the Issuing Lender agrees to issue Letters of Credit, in each case containing such terms and conditions as are permitted by this Agreement and are reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender (each, a “Letter of Credit”), at the request of and for the account of the Borrower from time to time before the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, and, as more fully set forth in Section 2.3, each Revolving Lender agrees to purchase a participation in each such Letter of Credit.

(d) Notes. Loans made by each Lender shall, at the request of any Lender, be evidenced by one or more Notes. The date, amount and maturity of each Lender’s Loans and payments and other particulars with respect thereto may be endorsed on schedule(s) attached to its Note by each Lender and/or recorded on one or more loan accounts or records maintained by such Lender in the ordinary course of business. Such Notes, loan accounts and records shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of such Loans and payments thereon. Any failure so to record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans.

2.2. Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

(a) Borrower may irrevocably request a Borrowing, Conversion or Continuation of Loans in a Minimum Amount therefor by delivering a Request for Extension of Credit therefor by Requisite Notice to Administrative Agent not later than the Requisite Time therefore. No Loan may be converted into or continued as a Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead, with respect to Revolving Loans only, must be prepaid in the original currency of such Revolving Loan and reborrowed in the other currency. All Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans shall constitute Base Rate Loans unless properly and timely otherwise designated as set forth in the prior sentence.

(b) Following receipt of a Request for Extension of Credit, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its Pro Rata Share thereof by Requisite Notice. In the case of a Borrowing of Loans, each Lender shall make the funds for its Loan available to Administrative Agent at Administrative Agent’s office not later than the Requisite Time


Credit Agreement		Epicor Software Corporation

therefore on the Business Day specified in such Request for Extension of Credit. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.2 (and, in the case of an initial Extension of Credit hereunder, Section 4.1), all funds so received shall be made available to Borrower in Dollars or, in the case of Revolving Loans that are also Offshore Rate Loans only, in one or more Alternative Currencies. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan upon determination of same.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, an Offshore Rate Loan may be Continued or Converted only on the last day of the Interest Period for such Offshore Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default or Event of Default, no Loans may be requested as, Converted into or Continued as Offshore Rate Loans without the consent of Requisite Lenders, and Requisite Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Offshore Rate Loans be Converted immediately into Base Rate Loans. Furthermore, during the existence of a Default or Event of Default, no Revolving Loans may be made in an Alternative Currency and, at the option of Requisite Lenders, each Offshore Rate Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be converted into its Dollar Equivalent.

(d) If a Loan is to be made on the same date that another Loan is due and payable, Borrower or Lenders, as the case may be, shall, unless Administrative Agent otherwise requests, make available to Administrative Agent the net amount of funds giving effect to both such Loans and the effect for purposes of this Agreement shall be the same as if separate transfers of funds had been made with respect to each such Loan.

(e) The failure of any Lender to make any Loan on any date shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation to make a Loan on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan.

2.3. Letters of Credit.

(a) The Letter of Credit Sublimit. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, Issuing Lender shall take such Dollar denominated Letter of Credit Actions as Borrower may from time to time request; provided, however, that (i) the Revolving Outstandings of each Revolving Lender shall not at any time exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment; (ii) the Revolving Outstandings of all Revolving Lenders shall not at any time exceed the combined Revolving Commitments; and (iii) Letter of Credit Usage shall not at any time exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. No Letter of Credit shall be denominated in any Alternative Currency.

(b) Letter of Credit Actions. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, Issuing Lender shall take such Letter of Credit Actions as Borrower may from time to time request. Subject to subsection (g) below and unless consented to by Issuing Lender and Requisite Lenders, no Letter of Credit may expire more than twelve (12) months after the date of its issuance or last renewal; provided, however, that no Letter of Credit shall expire after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date unless Borrower shall post cash collateral with respect to such Letter of Credit in such manner as is reasonably satisfactory to Issuing Lender and the amount of the Letter of Credit does not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit.


Credit Agreement		Epicor Software Corporation

(c) Requesting Letter of Credit Actions. Borrower may irrevocably request a Letter of Credit Action in a Minimum Amount therefor by delivering a Letter of Credit Application therefor to Issuing Lender, with a copy to Administrative Agent (who shall notify all Revolving Lenders) by Requisite Notice not later than the Requisite Time therefor. Each Letter of Credit Action shall be in a form acceptable to Issuing Lender in its sole discretion. Unless Administrative Agent notifies’ Issuing Lender that such Letter of Credit Action is not permitted hereunder, or Issuing Lender notifies Administrative Agent that it has determined that such Letter of Credit Action is contrary to any Laws or policies of Issuing Lender, Issuing Lender shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.2 with respect to any Letter of Credit Action constituting an Extension of Credit, effect such Letter of Credit Action. This Agreement shall control in the event of any conflict with any Letter of Credit Application. Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from Issuing Lender a risk participation therein in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(d) Reimbursement of Payments Under Letters of Credit. Borrower shall reimburse Issuing Lender through Administrative Agent for any payment that Issuing Lender makes under a Letter of Credit on or before the date of such payment; provided, however, that if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.2 can be satisfied, Borrower may request a Borrowing of a Revolving Loan to reimburse Issuing Lender for such payment pursuant to Section 2.3, or, failing to make such request, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans on such payment date pursuant to subsection (e) below.

(e) Funding by Lender When Issuing Lender Not Reimbursed. Upon any drawing under a Letter of Credit, Issuing Lender shall notify Administrative Agent and Borrower. If Borrower fails to timely make the payment required pursuant to subsection (d) above, Issuing Lender shall notify Administrative Agent of such fact and the amount of such unreimbursed payment. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of its Pro Rata Share of such amount by Requisite Notice. Each Revolving Lender shall make funds in an amount equal its Pro Rata Share of such amount available to Administrative Agent at Administrative Agent’s Office not later than the Requisite Time therefor on the Business Day specified by Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to Issuing Lender. The obligation of each Revolving Lender to so reimburse Issuing Lender shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default or any other occurrence or event. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to reimburse Issuing Lender for the amount of any payment made by Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(f) Nature of Revolving Lenders’ Funding. If the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.2 can be satisfied (except for the giving of a Request for Extension of Credit) on any date Borrower is obligated to, but fails to, reimburse Issuing Lender for a drawing under a Letter of Credit, the funding by Revolving Lenders pursuant to the previous subsection shall be deemed to be a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (without regard to the Minimum Amount


Credit Agreement		Epicor Software Corporation

therefor) deemed requested by Borrower. If the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.2 cannot be satisfied on the date Borrower is obligated to, but fails to, reimburse Issuing Lender for a drawing under a Letter of Credit, the funding by Revolving Lenders pursuant to the previous subsection shall be deemed to be a funding by each Revolving Lender of its risk participation in such Letter of Credit, and each Revolving Lender making such funding shall thereupon acquire a pro rata participation, to the extent of its reimbursement, an interest in the claim of Issuing Lender against Borrower in respect of such payment and shall share in accordance with that pro rata participation, in any payment made by Borrower with respect to such claim. Any amounts made available by a Revolving Lender under its risk participation shall be payable by Borrower upon demand of Administrative Agent, and shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

(g) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrower to pay to Issuing Lender the amount of any payment made by Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower’s obligation shall not be affected by any of the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating hereto or thereto;

(iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense, or other rights which Borrower may have at any time against Issuing Lender, Administrative Agent or any Lender, any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit (or any persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary may be acting) or any other Person, whether in connection with such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transactions;

(iv) any demand, statement, or any other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever so long as any such document appeared to comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit;

(v) any payment made by Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws;

(vi) the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any property purported to be represented by documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit or for any difference between any such property and the character, quality, quantity, condition, or value of such property as described in such documents;


Credit Agreement		Epicor Software Corporation

(vii) the time, place, manner, order or contents of shipments or deliveries of property as described in documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit or the existence, nature and extent of any insurance relative thereto;

(viii) the solvency or financial responsibility of any party issuing any documents in connection with such Letter of Credit;

(ix) any failure or delay in notice of shipments or arrival of any property;

(x) any error in the transmission of any message relating to such Letter of Credit not caused by Issuing Lender, or any delay or interruption in any such message;

(xi) any error, neglect or default of any correspondent of Issuing Lender in connection with such Letter of Credit;

(xii) any consequence arising from acts of God, wars, insurrections, civil unrest, disturbances, labor disputes, emergency conditions or other causes beyond the control of Issuing Lender;

(xiii) so long as Issuing Lender in good faith determines that the document appears to comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit, the form, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any contract or document referred to in any document submitted to Issuing Lender in connection with such Letter of Credit; and

(xiv) any other circumstances whatsoever where Issuing Lender has acted in good faith.

In addition, Borrower will promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and amendments thereto delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, Borrower will immediately notify Issuing Lender in writing. Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against Issuing Lender and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(h) Role of Issuing Lender. Each Revolving Lender and Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, Issuing Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. No Administrative Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of Issuing Lender shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of Revolving Lenders or Requisite Lenders, as applicable; any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit. Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or


Credit Agreement		Epicor Software Corporation

under any other agreement. No Administrative Agent-Related person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of Issuing Lender, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in subsection (g) above. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or, the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(i) Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by Issuing Lender and Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued and subject to applicable laws, performance under Letters of Credit by Issuing Lender, its correspondents, and beneficiaries will be governed by, with respect to standby Letters of Credit, the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” (ISP98) or such later revision as may be published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”).

(j) Letter of Credit Fee. On each Applicable Payment Date, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent in arrears, for the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a Letter of Credit fee equal to the Applicable Margin for Offshore Rate Loans on a per annum basis times the actual daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit for the period since the later of the Closing Date and the previous Applicable Payment Date. If there is any change in the Applicable Margin during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect.

(k) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to Issuing Lender. On each Applicable Payment Date, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the sole account of Issuing Lender a fronting fee in an amount equal to 0.125% per annum on the daily average face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, payable in arrears.

2.4. Prepayments.

(a) Voluntary. Upon Requisite Notice to Administrative Agent not later than the Requisite Time therefor, Borrower may at any time and from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in part in the Minimum Amount therefor or in full without premium or penalty (but with the amounts set forth in Section 3.5); provided, however, that with respect to any voluntary prepayment of the Term Loan occurring anytime prior to the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay an additional amount of 1.0% of the principal amount of the Term Loan then being prepaid. Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof and of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. All voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan shall be applied pro rata to the then remaining amortization payments due under the Term Loan. Borrower shall specify in its notice to the Administrative Agent whether such


Credit Agreement		Epicor Software Corporation

prepayment is to be applied to Revolving Loans or the Term Loan or both. If Borrower does not specify the application of such prepayment then the Administrative Agent shall apply the same pro rata in accordance with each Lender’s Pro Rata Share first to the Revolving Loans and then to the Term Loans.

(b) Mandatory. In addition to the payments required by Section 2.6(b) hereof, Borrower shall make mandatory prepayments of Loans as set forth below. Subject to Section 2.4(c) below, all such prepayments required under Sections 2.4(b)(ii) through (v) shall be applied pro rata to the then remaining amortization payments due under the Term Loan.

If for any reason the Revolving Outstandings exceed the combined Revolving Commitments as in effect or as reduced because of any limitation set forth in this Agreement or otherwise, Borrower shall immediately prepay Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. If the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower at any time that the Dollar Equivalent of the Revolving Outstandings denominated in Alternative Currencies at such time exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit then in effect, the Borrower shall, within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such notice prepay Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce the Dollar Equivalent of such Revolving Outstandings as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit then in effect. The Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial prepayment, request that additional prepayments be provided in order to protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations. Any prepayment of an Offshore Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with the amounts set forth in Section 3.5.

On the date of receipt by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Cash proceeds from incurrence of any Indebtedness of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than with respect to any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 7.1), Borrower shall prepay, subject to the provisions of Section 2.4(c) below, the Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other costs and expenses associated therewith, including legal fees and expenses. Any prepayment of an Offshore Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with the amounts set forth in Section 3.5.

(c) Term Lenders’ Right to Decline Certain Mandatory Prepayments. Each Term Lender has the right to decline requiring Borrower to pay to it the mandatory prepayment(s) described in Sections 2.4(b)(ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) above. In the event some, but not all, of the Term Lenders decline any such prepayment, the amount prepaid shall be applied pro rata to the remaining amortization payments of the Term Loan allocable to the Term Lenders who do not decline such prepayment.

2.5. Reduction or Termination of Commitments. Upon Requisite Notice to Administrative Agent not later than the Requisite Time therefor, Borrower may at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty, permanently and irrevocably reduce the Revolving Commitments in a Minimum Amount therefor to an amount not less than the Revolving Outstandings at such time or terminate the Revolving Commitments. Any such reduction or termination shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued and unpaid commitment fees with respect to the portion of the Revolving Commitments being reduced or terminated. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Revolving Lenders of any such request for reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments. Each Revolving Lender’s Commitment shall be reduced by an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such reduction.

Credit Agreement		Epicor Software Corporation

(c) Subject to subsection (d) below, and unless otherwise specified herein, Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan (before and after default, before and after maturity, before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws) from the date borrowed until paid in full (whether by acceleration or otherwise) on each Applicable Payment Date at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate determined in accordance with the definition of such type of Loan, plus the Applicable Margin specified in the definition in this Agreement of Applicable Margin with respect to such type of Loan.

(d) Notwithstanding subsection (c) of this Section, while any Event of Default exists or after acceleration, Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations, at the Default Rate.

2.7. Fees.

(a) Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent (for the account of each Revolving Lender according to its Pro Rata Share) the respective commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) set forth in the definition in this Agreement of “Applicable Margin”, calculated on the full amount of the combined Revolving Commitments. The Commitment Fee shall accrue from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date and shall be calculated and payable quarterly in arrears on each Applicable Payment Date. The Commitment Fee shall accrue at all times, including at any time during which one or more conditions in Section 4 are not met.

(b) Agency and Arrangement Fees. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent and Arranger an administrative agency fee and a structuring and arrangement fee, respectively, in such amounts and on the Closing Date as set forth in a separate letter agreement dated March 30, 2006 among Borrower, Administrative Agent and Arranger (the “Fee Letter”). Such fees are for the services to be performed by Administrative Agent in acting as Administrative Agent and for the services of Arranger in structuring and arranging the credit facilities under this Agreement, respectively, and are fully earned on the date paid. Such fees are solely for Administrative Agent’s and Arranger’s own account and are nonrefundable.

2.8. Computation of Interest and Fees. Computation of interest on Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by KeyBank’s “prime rate” shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed. Computation of all other types of interest and all fees shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed, which results in a higher yield to Lenders than a method based on a year of 365 or 366 days, or, in the case of interest in respect of Revolving Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practices. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day.


Credit Agreement		Epicor Software Corporation

2.9. Making Payments.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments by Borrower or any Lender hereunder shall be made to Administrative Agent at Administrative Agent’s Office not later than the Requisite Time for such type of payment. All payments received after such Requisite Time shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day. All payments shall be made in immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments by Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.

(b) Upon satisfaction of any applicable terms and conditions set forth herein, Administrative Agent shall promptly pay amounts received in accordance with the prior subsection available in like funds as received, as follows: (i) if payable to Borrower, by crediting such account as Borrower may designate in writing to Administrative Agent from time to time, and (ii) if payable to any Lender, by wire transfer to such Lender at its Lending Office. In the case of amounts held by Administrative Agent that are payable to Borrower, if any applicable terms and conditions are not so satisfied, Administrative Agent shall return any funds it is holding that would otherwise be payable to Borrower to the Lenders making such funds available, without interest.

(c) Subject to the definition of “Interest Period,” if any payment to be made by Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall instead be considered due on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest and fees.

(d) Unless Borrower or any Lender has notified Administrative Agent prior to the date any payment to be made by it is due, that it does not intend to remit such payment, Administrative Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, assume that Borrower or Lender, as the case may be, has timely remitted such payment and may, in its sole and absolute discretion and in reliance thereon, make available such payment to the Person entitled thereto. If such payment was not in fact remitted to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then:

(i) if Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to Administrative Agent the amount of such assumed payment made available to such Lender, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Rate; and

(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by Administrative Agent to Borrower to the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the


Credit Agreement		Epicor Software Corporation

daily Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, Administrative Agent promptly shall notify Borrower, and Borrower shall pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent together with interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by Administrative Agent to Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which Administrative Agent or Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

(e) If Administrative Agent or any Lender is required at any time to return to Borrower, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official under any proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws, any portion of a payment made by Borrower, each Lender shall, on demand of Administrative Agent, return its share of the amount to be returned, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the daily Federal Funds Rate.

2.10. Funding Sources. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

2.11. Collateral. Borrower’s Obligations are secured by or will be secured by the General Security Agreement and the Stock Pledge Agreements.

2.12. [Intentionally Reserved].

2.13. Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents. (a) The Administrative Agent shall determine the spot rates as of each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating Dollar Equivalent amounts of Revolving Outstandings denominated in Alternative Currencies. Such spot rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the spot rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies until the next Revaluation Date to occur. Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by parties hereunder or calculating financial covenants hereunder or except as otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of any currency for purposes of the Loan Documents shall be such Dollar Equivalent amount as so determined by the Administrative Agent, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(b) Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Borrowing, Conversion, Continuation or prepayment of a Revolving Loan, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such Borrowing or Revolving Loan is denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Alternative Currency equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest 1,000 units of such Alternative Currency), as determined by the Administrative Agent, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.


Credit Agreement		Epicor Software Corporation

2.14. Additional Alternative Currencies. The Borrower may from time to time request that Offshore Rate Loans be made in a currency other than those specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency” provided that such requested currency otherwise meets the requirements set forth in such definition. Any such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof) not later than 11:00 a.m., Cleveland time, ten (l0) Business Days prior to the date of the desired Extension of Credit. Each Revolving Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., Cleveland time, five (5) Business pays after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to making such Offshore Rate Loans in such requested currency. Any failure by a Revolving Lender to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Revolving Lender to make Offshore Rate Loans in such requested currency. If all the Revolving Lenders consent to making Offshore Rate Loans in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder.

SECTION III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.1. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by Borrower to or for the account of Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of Administrative Agent and each Lender, (i) taxes imposed on or measured by its net income, (ii) franchise taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income taxes) by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is organized or maintains a lending office; (iii) any branch profits tax imposed by the United States or any similar tax imposed by another jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located; (iv) applicable withholding tax imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code that is withheld by Administrative Agent from a payment to any Foreign Lender (as defined in Section 10.22 of this Agreement) pursuant to Section 10.22; and (v) any penalties, interest, costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) imposed on Administrative Agent or any Lender arising from the assertion by any Governmental Authority that Administrative Agent did not properly withhold any tax or other amount from payments made in respect of any Foreign Lender (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If Borrower shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to Administrative Agent or any Lender (other than as a result of a breach by a Foreign Lender of its obligations under Section 10.22 of this Agreement), (A) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), Administrative Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (B) Borrower shall make such deductions, (C) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (D)


Credit Agreement		Epicor Software Corporation

within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment, Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent (who shall forward the same to such Lender) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(b) In addition, Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless for (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid by Administrative Agent and such Lender, and (ii) any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided that (A) Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any penalties described in clause (ii) above to the extent the Administrative Agent or such Lender (1) had actual knowledge of the existence of the tax, interest, or expense, the non-payment of which gave rise to such penalties, and (2) failed to give Borrower notice of such tax, interest or expense within ten (10) Business Days after the Administrative Agent or such Lender received actual knowledge of the existence thereof; and (B) except to the extent contemplated in clause (A) of this Section 3.1(c), nothing contained in this subsection (c) shall be deemed to imply any obligation on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to provide Borrower with the notice of any such tax, penalty, interest or expense. Payment under this subsection (c) shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date the Lender or the Administrative Agent makes a demand therefor.

3.2. Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Laws have made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Offshore Rate Loans, or materially restricts the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of Dollars in the applicable offshore Dollar market, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Offshore Rate, then, on notice thereof by Lender to Borrower through Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make Offshore Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies Administrative Agent and Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), prepay or Convert all Offshore Rate Loans of such Lender, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Offshore Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Offshore Rate Loans. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

3.3. Inability to Determine Rates. If, in connection with any Request for Extension of Credit involving any Offshore Rate Loan, Administrative Agent determines that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore dollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of the requested Offshore Rate Loan, (b) adequate


Credit Agreement		Epicor Software Corporation

and reasonable means do not exist for determining the underlying interest rate for such Offshore Rate Loan, or (c) such underlying interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of funding such Offshore Rate Loan, Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrower and all Lenders. Thereafter, the obligation of all Lenders to make or maintain such Offshore Rate Loan shall be suspended until Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of Offshore Rate Loans or, failing that, be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

3.4. Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy.

(a) If any Lender determines that any Laws announced after the date hereof:

(i) impose on such Lender any Tax, duty, or other charge with respect to any Offshore Rate Loans or its obligation to make Offshore Rate Loans (other than as a result of any change in the rate of applicable taxes imposed on or measured by net income);

(ii) change the basis on which Taxes are imposed on any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement in respect of any Offshore Rate Loans;

(iii) impose or modify any reserve, special deposit, or similar requirement (other than the reserve requirement utilized in the determination of the Offshore Rate) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities or commitments of, such Lender (including its Commitment); or

(iv) impose on such Lender or on the offshore Dollar interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities or commitments;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, Converting into, Continuing, or maintaining any Offshore Rate Loans or to reduce any sum received or receivable by such Lender under this Agreement with respect to any Offshore Rate Loans, then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand to Administrative Agent), Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction (except to the extent that such increased cost or reduction is an amount subject to Section 3.1, in which case the sum received or receivable by such Lender shall be increased in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1).

(b) If any Lender determines that any change in or the interpretation of any Laws announced after the date hereof have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand to Administrative Agent), Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be


Credit Agreement		Epicor Software Corporation

required to pay additional amounts to compensate any Lender for (i) any applicable withholding tax imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code that is withheld by Administrative Agent from a payment to any Foreign Lender pursuant to Section 10.22, (ii) any reduction in connection with any penalties, interest, costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) arising from the assertion by any Governmental Authority that Administrative Agent did not properly withhold any tax or other amount from payments made in respect of any Foreign Lender; or (iii) any change in the rate of applicable taxes imposed on or measured by net income.

3.5. Breakfunding Costs. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent) from time to time, Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any Continuation, Conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or

(b) any failure by Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, Continue or Convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by Borrower;

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

3.6. Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation.

(a) The Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Section III, Lender shall deliver to Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder, which shall be conclusive in the absence of clearly demonstrable error. In determining such amount, Lenders may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. For purposes of this Section III, a Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Offshore Rate Loan at the Offshore Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore Dollar interbank market, whether or not such Offshore Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

(b) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any amount under this Section III which arose prior to the date which is 180 days preceding the date of such demand or is attributable to periods prior to the date which is 180 days preceding the date of such demand; provided, however, that in the event any Law is enacted that retroactively imposes any cost or charge upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender that would otherwise be a basis for compensation under Sections 3.1 through 3.5, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may make a demand for such compensation through and including the date which is 180 days after the date upon which such Law takes effect.

(c) Upon any Lender making a claim for compensation under Section 3.1 or 3.4, Borrower may remove and replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.22.


Credit Agreement		Epicor Software Corporation

3.7. Survival. All of Borrower’s obligations under this Section III shall survive for a period of one (1) year after the later of termination of the Commitments or payment in full of all Obligations; provided, however, that the obligation of Borrower to make any payment under this Section III is contingent upon the receipt by Borrower of the certificate described in Section 3.6(a) within the later of (a) 180 days after the later of the repayment of all Loans, the termination of all Letters of Credit and the termination of the Commitment, or (b) in the case of any Law retroactively imposing any cost or charge upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender, 180 days after the date upon which such Law takes effect.

(i) the Commitments and all other obligations of Administrative Agent or Lenders shall automatically terminate without notice to or demand upon Borrower, which are expressly waived by Borrower;


Credit Agreement		Epicor Software Corporation

(ii) the unpaid principal of all Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents shall be immediately due and payable, without protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower; and

(iii) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letter of Credit Usage shall be immediately due and payable to Issuing Lender without notice to or demand upon Borrower, which are expressly waived by Borrower, to be held in a blocked Letter of Credit cash collateral account held with Administrative Agent.

(c) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lenders and Administrative Agent, or any of them, without notice to (except as expressly provided for in any Loan Document) or, demand upon Borrower, which are expressly waived by Borrower (except as to notices expressly provided for in any Loan Document), may proceed to (but only with the consent of Requisite Lenders) protect, exercise and enforce their rights and remedies under the Loan Documents against Borrower and such other rights and remedies as are provided by Law or equity (including, without limitation, the provisions of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code).

No application of payments will cure any Event of Default, or prevent acceleration, or continued acceleration, of amounts payable under the Loan Documents, or prevent the exercise, or continued exercise, of rights or remedies of Administrative Agent and Lenders hereunder or thereunder or at Law or in equity.

SECTION IX

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

9.1. Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent.

(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably (subject to Section 9.9) appoints, designates and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b) Issuing Lender shall act on behalf of Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith until such time and except for so long as Administrative Agent may agree at the request of Requisite Lenders to act for such Issuing Lender with respect thereto; provided, however, that Issuing Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to Administrative Agent in this Section 9 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by Issuing Lender in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the application and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to the Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Section 9 included Issuing Lender with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to Issuing Lender.

9.2. Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care.

9.3. Liability of Administrative Agent. No Administrative Agent-Related Person shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any Lender for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of Borrower, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other


Credit Agreement		Epicor Software Corporation

document referred to or provided for in, or received by Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Administrative Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower or any of Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

9.4. Reliance by Administrative Agent.

(a) Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of Requisite Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of Requisite Lenders or all Lenders, if required hereunder, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of Lenders. Where this Agreement expressly permits or prohibits an action unless Requisite Lenders otherwise determine, and in all other instances, Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, initiate any solicitation for the consent or a vote of Lenders.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.1, each Lender that has executed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter either sent by Administrative Agent to such Lender for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to such Lender.

(c) Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent, upon payment of the amount certified by Borrower as the full and final payment of all principal, interest, fees and other charges outstanding under this Agreement, and following termination of the Commitments, to execute with and in favor of Borrower a termination letter that, inter alia, terminates Borrower’s obligation to observe any or all of the covenants in Sections III, VI and VII hereof.

9.5. Notice of Default. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders, unless Administrative Agent shall have received written


Credit Agreement		Epicor Software Corporation

notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Administrative Agent will notify Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be directed by Requisite Lenders in accordance with Section VIII; provided, however, that unless and until Administrative Agent has received any such direction, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of Lenders.

9.6. Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that no Administrative Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Administrative Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Administrative Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender, including any Lender by assignment, represents to Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Administrative Agent herein, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which may come into the possession of any Administrative Agent-Related Person.

9.7. Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Administrative Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Administrative Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Administrative Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of Requisite Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Administrative Agent upon demand


Credit Agreement		Epicor Software Corporation

for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent.

9.8. Administrative Agent in Individual Capacity. KeyBank and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though KeyBank were not Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender hereunder and without notice to or consent of Lenders. Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, KeyBank or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrower or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, KeyBank shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender.

9.9. Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may, and at the request of Requisite Lenders shall, resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Lenders. If Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, Requisite Lenders shall appoint from among Lenders a successor administrative agent for Lenders which successor administrative agent shall be approved by Borrower. If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with Lenders and Borrower and upon approval of Borrower (other than at any time as there exists an Event of Default) which will not be unreasonably withheld, a successor administrative agent from among Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 and Sections 10.3 and 10.11 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent (whether due to absence of Borrower approval or otherwise) by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as Requisite Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, KeyBank may not be removed as Administrative Agent at the request of Requisite Lenders unless KeyBank shall also simultaneously be replaced as “Issuing Lender” hereunder pursuant to documentation inform and substance reasonably satisfactory to KeyBank.


Credit Agreement		Epicor Software Corporation

9.10. Syndication Agent; Documentation Agent. None of Lenders (or Affiliates of Lenders) identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “Syndication Agent” or “Documentation Agent” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement in such capacity. Without limiting the foregoing, none of Lenders (or Affiliates of Lenders) so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of Lenders (or Affiliates of Lenders) so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

SECTION X

(d) Except to the extent any release of collateral is contemplated under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to release collateral in which Lenders have a security interest to secure the performance of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents constituting more than 20% of the value of Borrower’s consolidated assets;

Credit Agreement		Epicor Software Corporation

(f) To amend any provision of this Agreement that expressly requires the consent or approval of all Lenders; provided, however, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by Issuing Lender in addition to Requisite Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be, affect the rights or duties of Issuing Lender or affect any Letter of Credit related matter, (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by Administrative Agent in addition to Requisite Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be, affect the rights or duties of Administrative Agent; and (iii) the fee letters may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed by the parties thereto. Any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent pursuant to this Section shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, all Lenders and Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement that has the effect (either immediately or at some later time) of enabling the Borrower to satisfy a condition precedent to the making of any Revolving Loan shall be effective against the Revolving Lenders unless the Requisite Lenders described in clause (a) of the definition thereof shall have concurred with such waiver or modification.

The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and effect as hardcopies with manual signatures and shall be binding on all Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Administrative Agent and Lenders. Administrative Agent may also request that any such documents and signature be confirmed by a manually-signed hardcopy thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver any such manually-signed hardcopy shall not affect the effectiveness of any facsimile documents or signatures.

The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of all Obligations.

10.4. Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 10.4, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section 10.4 or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (f) of this Section 10.4 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section 10.4, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than USD$5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of a Revolving Loan/Revolving Commitment, or USD$1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of a Term Loan, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that simultaneous assignment by or to two (2) or more entities that are Affiliates or related funds shall be aggregated to determine compliance with the minimum assignment amounts.

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Loan tranches (i.e., either Revolving Loans/Revolving Commitments or Term Loans) on a non-pro rata basis.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section 10.4 and, in addition:

Credit Agreement		Epicor Software Corporation

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) a Revolving Loan/Revolving Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Revolving Lender with a Revolving Commitment, an Affiliate of such Revolving Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Revolving Lender or (ii) a Term Loan to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(C) the consent of the Issuing Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding).

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of USD$3,500 (provided that only one such fee shall be due with respect to simultaneous assignment by or to two (2) or more entities that are Affiliates or related funds), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section 10.4

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Cleveland, Ohio a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the


Credit Agreement		Epicor Software Corporation

Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the Issuing Lender shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver which (A) extends the Maturity Date as to such Participant or any other date upon which any payment of money is due to such Participant, (B) reduces the rate of interest owing to such Participant, any fee or any other monetary amount owing to such Participant, or (C) reduces the amount of any installment of principal owing to such Participant all as described in Sections 10.1(a) and 10.1(b). Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section III to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.4. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.5 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 10.6 as though it were a Lender.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section III than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section III unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 10.22 as though it were a Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.


Credit Agreement		Epicor Software Corporation

10.5. Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and Lenders or any assignee or participant of any Lender or any Affiliate thereof (each, a “Proceeding Party”) provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Proceeding Party is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being waived by Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law, to proceed directly, by right of set-off, banker’s lien, or otherwise, against any assets of Borrower and its Subsidiaries which may be in the hands of such Proceeding Party (including all general or special, time or demand, provisional or other deposits and other indebtedness owing by such Proceeding Party to or for the credit or the account of Borrower) and apply such assets against the Obligations, irrespective of whether such Proceeding Party shall have made any demand therefor and although such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower and Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

10.6. Sharing of Payments. Each Lender severally agrees that if it, through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim against Borrower or otherwise, receives payment on account of the Outstanding Obligations held by it that is ratably more than any other Lender receives in payment on account of the Outstanding Obligations held by such other Lender, then, subject to applicable Laws: (a) the Lender exercising the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or otherwise receiving such payment shall purchase, and shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased, from the other Lender a participation in the Outstanding Obligations held by the other Lender and shall pay to the other Lender a purchase price in an amount so that the share of the Outstanding Obligations held by each Lender after the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment shall be in the same proportion that existed prior to the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment; and (b) such other adjustments and purchases of participations shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that all Lenders share any payment obtained in respect of the Outstanding Obligations ratably in accordance with each Lender’s share of the Outstanding Obligations immediately prior to, and without taking into account, the payment; provided that, if all or any portion of a disproportionate payment obtained as a result of the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or otherwise is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender by Borrower or any Person claiming through or succeeding to the rights of Borrower, the purchase of a participation shall be rescinded and the purchase price thereof shall be restored to the extent of the recovery, but without interest. Each Lender that purchases a participation in the Outstanding Obligations pursuant to this Section shall from and after the purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Outstanding Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Outstanding Obligations purchased. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in an Obligation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim with respect to the participation as fully as if Lender were the original owner of the Obligation purchased.


Credit Agreement		Epicor Software Corporation

10.7. No Set-off. As to any and all funds, securities or other assets of Borrower which are now or hereafter held by Administrative Agent or any Lender as collateral pursuant to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document for any of the obligations thereunder (collectively the “Collateral Assets”), Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that they shall not exercise any right of setoff or recoupment against nor shall they assert any security interest in the Collateral Assets in connection with any other obligation owed to Administrative Agent or any Lender which is unrelated to the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents, except for: (i) recovery for any items deposited with Administrative Agent or any Lender and returned unpaid or as to which claims have been asserted as to breach of transfer or presentment warranties, (n) overdrafts on any account which generated the funds which constitute part of the Collateral Assets, (iii) automated clearing house entries, and (iv) Administrative Agent or any Lender’s usual and customary fees for services rendered in connection with the assets or bank accounts which constitute the Collateral Assets.

10.8. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

(a) No failure by any Lender or Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any Lender or Administrative Agent in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the terms and conditions of Section 4 may be waived in whole or in part, with or without terms or conditions, in respect of any Extension of Credit without prejudicing Administrative Agent’s or Lender’s rights to assert them in whole or in part in respect of any other Extension of Credit.

(b) The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein or therein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law. Any decision by Administrative Agent or any Lender not to require payment of any interest (including Default Interest), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document or to calculate any amount payable by a particular method on any occasion shall in no way limit or be deemed a waiver of Administrative Agent’s or Lender’s right to require full payment thereof, or to calculate an amount payable by another method that is not inconsistent with this Agreement, on any other or subsequent occasion.

10.9. Usury. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest and fees paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest or a fee in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excessive interest or fee shall be applied to the principal of the Outstanding Obligations or, if it exceeds the unpaid principal, refunded to Borrower. In determining whether the interest or a fee contracted for, charged, or received by Administrative Agent or any Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an


Credit Agreement		Epicor Software Corporation

expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations.

10.10. Counterparts. This Agreement maybe executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

10.11. Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents and any letter agreements referred to herein, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and govern; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of Administrative Agent or Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

10.12. Nature of Lenders’ Obligations. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and no action taken by Administrative Agent or Lenders or any of them pursuant hereto or thereto may, or may be deemed to, make Lenders a partnership, an association, a joint venture or other entity, either among themselves or with Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower. Each Lender’s obligation to make any Extension of Credit pursuant hereto is several and not joint or joint and several, provided that, in the case of the initial Extension of Credit only, each lender’s obligation is conditioned upon the performance by all other Lenders of their obligations to make the initial Extension of Credit. A default by any Lender will not increase the Pro Rata Share attributable to any other Lender.

10.13. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any Loan Document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery thereof but shall terminate the later of (a) when the Commitments are terminated and (b) when no Obligations remain outstanding under any Loan Document. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by Administrative Agent and each Lender, notwithstanding any investigation made by Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf.

10.14. Indemnity by Borrower. Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless each Administrative Agent-Related Person and each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, agents, attorneys and employees (collectively, the “Indemnities”) from and against: (a) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that are asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (other than Administrative Agent or any Lender) relating directly or indirectly to a claim, demand, action or cause of action that such Person asserts or may assert against Borrower, any of its Affiliates or any its officers or directors; (b) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action arising out of or relating to, the Loan Documents, any predecessor loan documents, the Commitments, the use or contemplated use


Credit Agreement		Epicor Software Corporation

of the proceeds of any Loan, property that is the subject of any Material Lease or any other collateral given to secure the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, or the relationship of Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders under this Agreement; (c) any administrative or investigative proceeding by any Governmental Authority arising out of or related to a claim; demand, action or cause of action described in subsection (a) or (b) above; and (d) all liabilities, claims, actions, loss, damages, including, without limitation, foreseeable and unforeseeable consequential damages, costs and expenses (including sums paid in settlement of claims and all consultant, expert and legal fees and expenses of Indemnitees’ counsel) directly or indirectly arising out of or resulting from any Hazardous Substance being present at any time in or around any part of Borrower’s properties (leasehold or fee), or in the soil, groundwater or soil vapor on or under Borrower’s properties (leasehold or fee), including those incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any clean-up, remedial, removal or restoration work, or any resulting damages or injuries to the person or property of any third parties or to any natural resources; (e) any and all liabilities, losses, costs or expenses (including Attorney Costs) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any foregoing claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, or as a result of the preparation of any defense in connection with any foregoing claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, in all cases, whether or not an Indemnitee is a party to such claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, including those liabilities caused by an Indemnitee’s own negligence (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any loss caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or for any loss asserted against it by another Indemnitee.

10.15. Nonliability of Lender.

Borrower acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) Any inspections of any property of Borrower made by or through Administrative Agent or Lenders are for purposes of administration of the Loan Documents only, and Borrower is not entitled to rely upon the same (whether or not such inspections are at the expense of Borrower);

(b) By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, fulfilled or given to Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents, neither Administrative Agent nor Lenders shall be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or representation to anyone with respect thereto by Administrative Agent or Lenders;

(c) The relationship between Borrower and Administrative Agent and Lenders is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and lenders; neither Administrative Agent nor Lenders shall under any circumstance be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with Borrower or its Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to Borrower or its Affiliates; neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender undertakes or assumes any responsibility or duty to

Borrower or its Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrower or its Affiliates of any matter in connection with their property or the operations of Borrower or its Affiliates; Borrower and its Affiliates shall rely entirely upon their own judgment with respect to such matters; and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by Lender in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of Lenders and neither Borrower nor any other person is entitled to rely thereon; and

(d) Neither Administrative Agent nor Lenders shall be responsible or liable to any Person for any loss, damage, liability or claim of any kind relating to injury or death to Persons or damage to property caused by the actions, inaction or negligence of Borrower and/or its Affiliates and Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds Administrative Agent and Lenders harmless from any such loss, damage, liability or claim.

10.16. No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement is made for the purpose of defining and setting forth certain obligations, rights and duties of Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders in connection with the Extensions of Credit, and is made for the sole benefit of Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders, and Administrative Agent and Lenders’ successors and assigns. Except as provided in Sections 10.13 and 10.21, no other Person shall have any rights of any nature hereunder or by reason hereof.

10.17. Severability. Any provision of the Loan Documents that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.18. Confidentiality. Administrative Agent and each Lender shall use any confidential non-public information concerning Borrower and its Subsidiaries that is furnished t Administrative Agent or such Lender by or on behalf of Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with the Loan Documents (collectively, “Confidential Information”) solely for the purpose of evaluating and providing products and services to them and administering and enforcing the Loan Documents, and it will hold the Confidential Information in confidence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose Confidential Information to: (a) their Affiliates, or any of their or their Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, advisors, or representatives (collectively, the “Representatives”) whom it determines need to know such information for the purposes set forth in this Section; (b) any bank or financial institution or other entity to which such Lender has assigned or desires to assign an interest or participation in the Loan Documents or the Obligations, provided that any such foregoing recipient of such Confidential Information agrees to keep such Confidential Information confidential as specified herein; (c) any governmental agency or regulatory body having or claiming to have authority to regulate or oversee any aspect of Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s business or that of their Representatives in connection with the exercise of such authority or claimed authority; (d) the extent necessary or appropriate to effect or preserve Administrative Agent or such Lender’s or any of their Affiliates’ security (if any) for any Obligation or to enforce any right or remedy or in connection with any claims asserted by or against Administrative Agent or such Lender or any of its Representatives; and


Credit Agreement		Epicor Software Corporation

(e) pursuant to any subpoena or any similar legal process so long as Borrower is, or has been, given notice of such legal process and the opportunity to seek a protective order. For purposes hereof, the term “Confidential Information” shall not include information that (x) is in Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s possession prior to its being provided by or on behalf of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, provided that such information is not known by Administrative Agent or such Lender to be subject to another confidentiality agreement with, or other legal or contractual obligation of confidentiality to, Borrower, (y) is or becomes publicly available (other than through a breach hereof by Lender), or (z) becomes available to Administrative Agent or such Lender on a nonconfidential basis, provided that the source of such information was not known by Administrative Agent or such Lender to be bound by a confidentiality agreement or other legal or contractual obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information.

10.19. Further Assurances. Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall, at their expense and without expense to Administrative Agent or Lenders, do, execute and deliver such further acts and documents as any Lender or Administrative Agent from time to time reasonably requires for the assuring and confirming unto Lender of the rights hereby created or intended now or hereafter so to be, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of any Loan Document.

10.20. Headings. Section headings in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are included for convenience of reference only and are not part of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents for any other purpose.

10.21. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents.

10.22. Foreign Lenders. Each Lender that is a “foreign corporation, partnership or trust” within the meaning of the Code (a “Foreign Lender”) shall deliver to Administrative Agent, prior to receipt of any payment subject to withholding under the Code (or after accepting an assignment of an interest herein), two (2) duly signed completed copies of either Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Person and entitling it to a complete exemption from withholding on all payments to be made to such Person by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Person by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) of the United States Internal Revenue Service or such other evidence satisfactory to Borrower and Administrative Agent that no withholding under the federal income tax laws is required with respect to such Person. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Person shall (a) promptly submit to Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to Borrower and Administrative Agent of any available exemption from, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Person by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, and (b) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws that Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Person. If such Persons fail to deliver the above forms or


Credit Agreement		Epicor Software Corporation

other documentation, then Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Person an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code.

3. DELIVERY OF COLLATERAL AND VOTING.

3.1 Collateral Delivery.

(a) Initial Delivery of Collateral. Concurrently with Debtor’s execution of this Pledge Agreement and delivery of this Pledge Agreement to the Administrative Agent, Debtor shall deliver physical possession to the Administrative Agent of every stock certificate, document, instrument and chattel paper which constitutes Collateral and obtain the fully executed Consent in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Any such items of Collateral that are certificated securities shall be duly endorsed in blank without restriction or with a duly executed assignment separate from certificate (stock power) duly endorsed in blank without restriction and with all necessary transfer tax stamps affixed. To the extent that Debtor delivers to Administrative Agent one or more stock certificates each of which (“Foreign Subsidiary Certificate”) reflects an equity interest in any Foreign Subsidiary in excess (“Excess Equity Interest”) of the percentage set forth in Section 1.2(c) above (“Designated Percentage Interest”), Administrative Agent will be entitled to hold such Foreign Subsidiary Certificate to reflect and perfect its security interest in 66.66% of the Equity Interest in the Foreign Subsidiary, unless and until Debtor delivers to Administrative Agent a (i) replacement certificate reflecting the Designated Percentage Interest; and (ii) an acceptable legal opinion from a law firm reasonably acceptable to Agent that the replacement certificate was properly issued and is fully paid for and properly reflects the Designated Percentage interest in the subject entity and may be delivered to Administrative Agent as collateral. (Such replacement certificates when delivered or provided herein as referred to as the “Replacement Foreign Subsidiary Certificate”).

(b) Future Delivery of Collateral. If at any time after the date of this Pledge Agreement, Debtor obtains possession of any certificate or instrument constituting or representing any item of Collateral, (i) Debtor shall immediately deliver or arrange for the immediate delivery of such certificate or instrument to Administrative Agent; (ii) to the extent such item represents a certificated security, Debtor shall duly endorse such certificate in blank without restriction or deliver a duly executed assignment separate from certificate (stock power) duly endorsed in blank without restriction and with all necessary transfer tax stamps affixed; and (iii) Debtor shall hold such Collateral separate and apart from Debtor’s other funds and property in an express trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent until paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent.


Stock Pledge Agreement		CRS Retail Technology Group, Inc.

(c) Uncertificated Securities. If any item of Collateral is an uncertificated security, Debtor shall either (i) procure the issuance of a security certificate to represent such Collateral and endorse and deliver such certificate as required by Section 3.1(a) above; or (ii) cause the issuer thereof to register the Administrative Agent as the registered owner of such uncertificated security; or (iii) cause the issuer thereof to enter into an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, among the Administrative Agent, the registered owner of such security, and the issuer to the effect that the issuer will comply with instructions originated by the Administrative Agent without further consent by the registered owner; or (iv) cause the security to be credited to a securities account and execute an agreement in form reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent to permit Administrative Agent to gain control of such asset.

3.2 Control. If any Collateral is not capable of being delivered, Debtor shall deliver to Administrative Agent such financing statements or other instruments as are deemed necessary by Administrative Agent to enable it to perfect its security interest in such Collateral and obtain “control” or “possession” of such Collateral under applicable law.

3.3 Pledge under Foreign Law. To the extent that the pledge of the item of Collateral is governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than a state of the United States, Debtor shall, in lieu of compliance with the other provisions of this Section 3, enter into such agreements and documents as are reasonably necessary to accomplish the pledge of such Collateral to Administrative Agent.

3.4 Voting. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Debtor shall have the right to exercise all voting rights and other consensual rights and powers with respect to the Collateral for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (a) Debtor shall not exercise any such right or power if, in Administrative Agent’s discretion, such action would have an adverse effect on the value of the Collateral or impair or otherwise adversely affect the security interest or other rights of the Administrative Agent under this Pledge Agreement; and (b) Debtor shall not be permitted to trade, invest, or sell the Financial Assets (as such term is defined in Article 8 of the UCC) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

4. DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL REVENUES.

4.1 Delivery to Debtor; No Event of Default. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Revenues shall be retained by Debtor to the extent provided in Section 4.3 below.

4.2 Occurrence of Event of Default. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to hold and apply the Collateral Revenues as provided below.


Stock Pledge Agreement		CRS Retail Technology Group, Inc.

4.3 Payment of Cash Dividends and Interest. Provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Debtor shall be entitled to receive all cash dividends and interest payable in connection with the Collateral, except for the following, which are referred to as “Liquidation Dividends,” for (a) cash dividends paid or payable in respect of any Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus, or paid-in capital of the issuer of such Collateral; and (b) cash paid, payable, or otherwise distributed in respect of principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Collateral. If at any time and for any reason Debtor receives any Collateral Revenues other than those that Debtor is entitled to receive under this Section 4.3, Debtor (i) shall immediately deliver such Collateral Revenues to the Administrative Agent in the original form received by Debtor; (ii) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such documents of transfer respecting such Collateral Revenues as the Administrative Agent may require, including an endorsement in blank of any certificate evidencing such Collateral Revenues; (iii) shall not commingle such Collateral Revenues with any of Debtor’s other funds or property; and (iv) shall hold such Collateral Revenues separate and apart from Debtor’s other funds and property in an express trust for Administrative Agent until paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Administrative Agent holds a Foreign Subsidiary Certificate which reflects an Excess Equity Interest, Administrative Agent may receive and collect all Liquidation Dividends payable in connection with the entire Foreign Subsidiary Certificate. Administrative Agent shall refund to Debtor any Liquidation Dividends allocable to the Excess Equity Interest.

5. COVENANTS REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

5.1 Debtor’s Covenants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the other Loan Documents (and subject to Section 15.11 below), Debtor hereby covenants and agrees that during the term hereof and until all Obligations are fully paid and performed:

(a) Liens. Except for the Lien provided to Administrative Agent, Debtor shall at all times keep the Collateral free of all Liens other than the security interest of the Administrative Agent or Permitted Liens in favor of any Governmental Authority which pursuant to statute or law creating such Lien and other applicable law, have priority over any Lien granted under this Pledge Agreement.

(b) Further Assurances. Debtor shall deliver to Administrative Agent promptly or ensure that Administrative Agent promptly receives (i) all Collateral that Debtor is obligated to deliver to the Administrative Agent under Section 3.1 above; (ii) all financing statements and all other documents that Administrative Agent deems necessary or desirable to evidence the transfer and pledge of the Collateral to Administrative Agent as provided in this Pledge Agreement; (iii) except as otherwise expressly provided in this Pledge Agreement, all Collateral Revenues; (iv) such specific acknowledgments, assignments, stock or bond powers, Regulation U Statement of Purpose forms, and other documents as the Administrative Agent may request relating to the Collateral; and (v) copies of records and other reports relating to the Collateral in such form and detail and at such times as the Administrative Agent may from time to time require.


Stock Pledge Agreement		CRS Retail Technology Group, Inc.

(c) Changes in Collateral. Debtor shall give prompt notice to Administrative Agent of any threatened or asserted dispute or claim with respect to the Collateral, which could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Collateral.

(d) Subsidiaries. If there is a material recapitalization or restructure or acquisition of the equity interest in any Subsidiaries of Debtor, Debtor shall take such action as is necessary so that Administrative Agent shall have and retain (i) 100% of the equity interest in all domestic Material Subsidiaries wholly-owned by Debtor and organized under the laws of the United States or any state or jurisdiction thereof, and (ii) 66.66% of the equity interests of any First Tier Foreign Subsidiary.

(e) Perfection. From time to time upon Administrative Agent’s request, Debtor (i) shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, and give, file or record, at Debtor’s expense, all notices and other documents that Administrative Agent deems necessary or appropriate in order for the Administrative Agent to maintain a first priority (subject to Liens (including tax liens) in favor of any Governmental Authority which pursuant to statute or law creating such Lien and other applicable law, have priority over any Lien granted under this Pledge Agreement) perfected security interest in the Collateral; and (ii) shall perform such other acts, and execute and deliver to Administrative Agent such additional assignments, agreements, instruments and other documents, as Administrative Agent may request in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Pledge Agreement or the Administrative Agent’s exercise of any or all of its rights, powers and remedies under this Pledge Agreement.

(f) Litigation Cooperation. Debtor, at its expense, shall appear in and defend any action or proceeding which may materially and adversely affect Debtor’s title to all or part of the Collateral or Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral.

(g) Changes. Without prior written notice to Administrative Agent, Debtor will not change its name, mailing address, or its state of incorporation.

5.2 Debtor’s Representations. Debtor represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and Lenders as follows:

(a) Ownership of Collateral. Debtor is the sole legal and beneficial owner of the Collateral, free and clear of all Liens, except for the security interest in favor of Administrative Agent under this Pledge Agreement and Permitted Liens currently existing in favor of any foreign governmental authority, which to the best of Debtor’s knowledge do not currently exist.

(b) Status of Collateral. All of the Collateral consisting of securities has been duly and validly issued and is fully paid for and non-assessable. Except for Collateral that Debtor has previously disclosed to Agent as “restricted securities” or securities held by an


Stock Pledge Agreement		CRS Retail Technology Group, Inc.

“affiliate” (as such terms are defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), including Collateral consisting of the stock of any subsidiary of Debtor, or as may be specifically stated to the Agent in writing prior to the date of this Pledge Agreement, all of the Collateral is transferable without prior notice to, or approval or consent from, any person or governmental or regulatory authority, and there exists no condition or restriction or restrictive legend to or affecting the transfer of the Collateral.

(c) Authority to Pledge. Debtor has full rights and authority to pledge the Collateral in the manner hereby specified; and (except for approvals which have already been obtained) no consent of any governmental body or regulatory authority is necessary for the rights created hereunder to be valid.

(d) Continuing Warranties. Debtor’s warranties and representations set forth in this Section 5 and in any exhibit hereto shall be true and correct at the time of execution of this Pledge Agreement by Debtor and at the time Debtor requests or receives any advance under the Credit Agreement.

(e) Subsidiaries. The assets described in Exhibit A as of the time of this Pledge Agreement are all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of CRS Retail Systems, Inc.

(f) Warranties and Representations Cumulative. The warranties, representations and agreements set forth herein shall be cumulative and in addition to any and all other warranties, representations and agreements which Debtor shall give, or cause to be given, to Administrative Agent or Lenders, either now or hereafter.

6. DUTY OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO COOPERATE WITH READJUSTMENTS. Administrative Agent agrees to cooperate with Debtor to maintain the percentage interests set forth in 5.1(a) by adjusting the outstanding equity interests pledged hereunder in the event there is a recapitalization, restructure or acquisition of equity interests by Debtor relating to any of its Subsidiaries.

7. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this Pledge Agreement, at the option of the Administrative Agent.

7.1 Breach of Pledge Agreement. (i) Any representation or warranty hereunder proves to have been incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made, (ii) Debtor breaches any provision of this Pledge Agreement which cannot be cured or (iii) the breach by Debtor of any other provision of this Pledge Agreement that remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) days.

7.2 Breach of Other Agreements. The occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.


Stock Pledge Agreement		CRS Retail Technology Group, Inc.

7.3 Lien Priority. Administrative Agent shall cease to have a valid and perfected first priority (subject to Permitted Liens in favor of any Governmental Authority which pursuant to statute or law creating such Lien and other applicable law, have priority over the Lien granted in this Pledge Agreement) lien upon any material item of the Collateral purported to be covered by such security interest.

7.4 Seizure of Assets. If all or any material item(s) of the Collateral is attached, seized, subjected to a writ or distress warrant, or is levied upon and such action can reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

8. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. The exercise of remedies hereunder shall be made by Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders upon the terms and conditions contained herein. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and not been cured or waived in accordance with the terms hereof or the Credit Agreement, Administrative Agent shall have the following rights and powers and may, at Administrative Agent’s option, without notice of its election and without demand to the extent permitted by Section 8.3 of the Credit Agreement, do any one or more of the following, all of which are hereby authorized by Debtor:

8.1 UCC Rights. The Administrative Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and under all other applicable laws.

8.2 Acceleration. Administrative Agent may declare any or all of the Obligations to be immediately due and payable.

8.3 Extensions of Credit. Lenders may discontinue advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Debtor in connection with the Credit Agreement or under any other document agreement between Administrative Agent, Lenders and Debtor.

8.4 Assembly of Collateral. The Administrative Agent may require Debtor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place designated by the Administrative Agent.

8.5 Possession of Collateral. The Administrative Agent, without a breach of the peace, may enter any of the premises of Debtor and search for, take possession of, remove, keep or store any or all of the Collateral. If the Administrative Agent seeks to take possession of any or all of the Collateral by court process, Debtor irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that a receiver may be appointed by a court for such purpose without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations.

8.6 Foreclose on Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to sell and dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices as the Administrative Agent may deem satisfactory. The Administrative Agent may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral so sold at any public sale (or, if the Collateral is of a


Stock Pledge Agreement		CRS Retail Technology Group, Inc.

type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same, absolutely free from any right or claim of whatsoever kind. The Administrative Agent is authorized, at any such sale, if it deems it advisable so to do, to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers of any of the Collateral to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale of any of the Collateral. Upon any such sale the Administrative Agent shall have the right to deliver, assign, and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind of Debtor or any other Person, including any equity or right of redemption of Debtor, who, to the extent permitted by law, specifically waives any now existing or hereafter acquired rights of redemption, stay or appraisal. The Administrative Agent shall give Debtor: (i) ten (10) days written notice of its intention to make any such public or private sale; or (ii) two (2) days notice of any sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange. Such notice, in case of a public sale, shall state the time and place fixed for such sale, and, in case of sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or the portion thereof being so sold, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Administrative Agent may fix in the notice of such sale. At any such sale the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Administrative Agent may determine. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any such sale pursuant to any such notice. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, postpone any public or private sale or cause the same to be postponed from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so postponed. In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent until the selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but the Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. To the extent that Administrative Agent holds any Foreign Subsidiary Certificate which reflects an Excess Equity Interest, Administrative Agent may foreclose on such certificate in any manner permitted by applicable law or as specified in this Section 8 as regards any item of Collateral. Upon any sale of such Certificate, Administrative Agent will release to Debtor any consideration received in return for the sale of the Excess Equity Interest.

8.7 Judicial Action. The Administrative Agent, in its discretion, may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose its security interests in the Collateral under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction. Debtor agrees that any disposition of Collateral by way of a private placement or other method which, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, is required or advisable under federal and state securities laws is commercially reasonable.


Stock Pledge Agreement		CRS Retail Technology Group, Inc.

8.8 Collateral Revenues. Debtor’s rights, if any, to receive any Collateral Revenues shall automatically cease, and all Collateral Revenues shall be paid to the Administrative Agent. Any and all Collateral Revenues received by the Administrative Agent may be retained by the Administrative Agent as additional Collateral or, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, maybe applied toward the satisfaction of the Obligations. In such event the Administrative Agent shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks and other orders for payment of money made payable to Debtor representing any dividend or other distribution payable or distributable in respect of any Collateral.

8.9 Information. Without limiting the generality of this Section 8, it shall conclusively be deemed to be commercially reasonable for the Administrative Agent to direct any prospective purchaser of any or all of the Collateral to Debtor to ascertain all information concerning the status of the Collateral.

8.10 Commercially Reasonable Actions by Administrative Agent. Debtor acknowledges that it may be impracticable or extremely difficult to effect a public sale of all or part of the Collateral by reason of certain restrictions contained in state and federal securities laws, as now or hereafter in effect. Because of such restrictions, and without limiting the generality of this Section 8, it shall conclusively be deemed to be commercially reasonable for the Administrative Agent to do any or all of the following:

(a) To resort to one or more private sales to a single purchaser or a restricted group of purchasers who may be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof; and

(b) To impose restrictions and conditions with respect to (i) the ability of a purchaser or bidder to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Collateral; (ii) the knowledge and experience of business and financial matters of a purchaser or bidder; (iii) the access of a purchaser or bidder to information regarding the Collateral; and (iv) such other matters as the Administrative Agent determines to be necessary or advisable to comply with any state or federal securities laws.

8.11 No Registration Required. Debtor acknowledges that some or all of the conditions and restrictions which may be imposed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.10 above may result in reduced proceeds being received upon the sale of the Collateral than would otherwise have been obtained. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to delay the sale of any or all of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit registration by the issuer of any securities comprising the Collateral, even if such registration would be possible under applicable state and federal securities law.

8.12 Other Procedures. The Administrative Agent’s disposition of any or all of the Collateral in any manner which differs from the procedures specified in this Section 8 shall not be deemed to be commercially unreasonable.


Stock Pledge Agreement		CRS Retail Technology Group, Inc.

8.13 Foreclosure. If the Administrative Agent has reduced its claims for breach of any of the obligations to judgment, the lien of any levy which may be made on any or all of the Collateral by virtue of any execution based upon such judgment shall relate back to the date of the Administrative Agent’s perfection of its security interest in such Collateral. A judicial sale pursuant to such execution shall constitute a foreclosure of the Administrative Agent’s security interest by judicial procedure, and the Administrative Agent may purchase at such sale and thereafter hold the Collateral free of all rights of Debtor therein.

8.14 Discharge Claims. The Administrative Agent may discharge claims, demands, liens, security interests, encumbrances and taxes affecting any or all of the Collateral and take such other actions as the Administrative Agent determines to be necessary or appropriate to protect the Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s security interest therein. The Administrative Agent, without releasing Debtor or any other Person from any of the Obligations, may perform any of the Obligations in such manner and to such extent as the Administrative Agent determines to be necessary or appropriate to protect the Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s security interest therein,

8.15 Proceeds of Sale. The proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral by the Administrative Agent shall be applied in the following order of priority:

(a) First, to all liabilities, obligations, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by the Administrative Agent in exercising any of its rights or remedies under this Pledge Agreement, including the costs and expenses of retaking, holding, and selling any or all of the Collateral;

(b) Second, to the payment of the Obligations in such order and amounts as the Administrative Agent may determine in its discretion as more fully set forth in the Credit Agreement;

(c) Third, to (i) the satisfaction of indebtedness secured by any subordinate security interest in the Collateral if written demand therefor is received by the Administrative Agent before distribution of any such proceeds; and (ii) to the satisfaction of any subordinate attachment lien or execution lien pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 701.040 of the Code of Civil Procedure if notice of the levy of attachment or execution is received by the Administrative Agent before distribution of any such proceeds. If requested by the Administrative Agent, the holder of a subordinate security interest in the Collateral shall furnish the Administrative Agent with proof of its interest in the Collateral acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and unless such holder does so, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to comply with such holder’s demand; and

(d) Fourth, the surplus, if any, shall be paid to Debtor.

8.16 Voting Rights. The Administrative Agent may exercise any or all warrants, options, conversion rights, puts, calls, voting rights, and other rights with respect to any or all of the Collateral (collectively the “Voting and Stock Rights”) in such manner and to such


Stock Pledge Agreement		CRS Retail Technology Group, Inc.

extent as the Administrative Agent in its discretion determines to be necessary or appropriate, and Debtor’s rights and authority to exercise the Voting and Stock Rights shall automatically terminate upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Pledge Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to exercise any or all Voting and Stock Rights, and the Administrative Agent shall have no liability or responsibility of any kind to Debtor or any other party for the Administrative Agent’s exercise or delay or failure to exercise any or all of the Voting and Stock Rights. In connection with the Administrative Agent’s exercise of any or all of the Voting and Stock Rights, the Administrative Agent shall have the right (a) to deposit or surrender control of any or all of the Collateral to any third Person; (b) to accept other property in exchange for the Collateral; and (c) to take such other actions as the Administrative Agent in its discretion determines to be necessary or appropriate.

9. LIABILITY FOR DEFICIENCY. Debtor shall at all times remain liable for any deficiency remaining on the Obligations, and is liable after any disposition of any or all of the Collateral and after the Administrative Agent’s application of any proceeds to the Obligations.

10. POWER OF ATTORNEY. Debtor irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent, with full power of substitution, as Debtor’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with full power, in the Administrative Agent’s own name or in the name of Debtor:

10.1 At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to do any or all of the following:

(a) Endorse any checks, drafts, money orders, notes, and other instruments or documents representing or evidencing the Collateral;

(b) Pay or discharge claims, demands, liens, security interests, encumbrances, or taxes affecting or threatening the Collateral;

(d) Commence, prosecute or defend any suit, action or proceeding relating to any or all of the Collateral;

(e) Instruct any accountant or other third Person having custody or control of any Collateral Records to deliver such records to the Administrative Agent; and

(f) Sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to, or otherwise deal with the Collateral as though the Administrative Agent were the owner thereof for all purposes.

10.2 To execute any security agreement, assignment, notice, and all other documents which the Administrative Agent, in its discretion, determines to be necessary or appropriate in order to (a) perfect or maintain the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral; (b) exercise any or all of the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Pledge Agreement; or (c) to consummate or effectuate any of the transactions contemplated by this Pledge Agreement.

11. WAIVERS. Debtor hereby waives presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of demand, dishonor, protest and nonpayment, and all other notices and demands in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default under, and enforcement of the Obligations. Debtor waives the right to assert any statute of limitations as a defense to the enforcement of any of the Obligations to the fullest extent permitted by law.

12. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. The Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies under this Pledge Agreement are cumulative with and in addition to all other rights and remedies which the Administrative Agent may have in connection with the Loans. The Administrative Agent may exercise any one or more of its rights and remedies under this Pledge Agreement at the Administrative Agent’s option and in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine in its discretion. The Administrative Agent may exercise its rights under this Pledge Agreement from time to time and at such times as the Administrative Agent may determine.

13. ACTIONS. The Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to commence, appear in, or defend any action or proceeding which affects or which the Administrative Agent determines may affect (a) the Collateral; (b) Debtor’s or the Administrative Agent’s rights or obligations under the Loan Documents; (c) Debtor’s or the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Pledge Agreement; or (d) the Loans. Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred under any of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall at all times have the right to take any and all actions which the Administrative Agent in its discretion determines to be necessary or appropriate to protect the Administrative Agent’s interest in connection with the Loan.

14. INDEMNITY. Debtor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent, each Lender and their respective officers, employees, and agents against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other party related to or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Pledge Agreement or the Collateral, and (b) all losses or expenses in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by Administrative Agent and any Lender as a result of or in any way arising out of, following or consequential to the transactions between Administrative Agent and Lenders and Debtor under this Pledge Agreement or the Collateral (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and reasonable expenses), except for losses arising from or out of Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

15. GENERAL.

15.1 Taxes and Other Expenses Regarding the Collateral. If Debtor fails to pay promptly when due to any person or entity monies which Debtor is required to pay by reason of any provision in this Pledge Agreement, Administrative Agent may, but need not, pay the same


Stock Pledge Agreement		CRS Retail Technology Group, Inc.

and charge Debtor’s account therefor, and Debtor shall promptly reimburse Administrative Agent therefor. Any payments made by Administrative Agent shall not constitute: (a) an agreement by Administrative Agent to make similar payments in the future, or (b) a waiver by Administrative Agent of any default under this Pledge Agreement. Administrative Agent need not inquire as to, or contest the validity of, any such expense, tax, security interest, encumbrance or lien and the receipt of the usual official notice for the payment thereof shall be conclusive evidence that the same was validly due and owing.

15.2 Notices. Any notice, demand or request required hereunder shall be made in the manner set forth in the Credit Agreement.

15.3 Release of Collateral. Administrative Agent shall promptly file UCC termination statements and any other instruments as necessary upon any Disposition by Debtor of any items or item of Collateral, to the extent such Disposition is permitted under the Credit Agreement.

15.4 Termination.

15.5 Course of Dealing. No course of dealing, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.

15.6 Amendment. This Pledge Agreement may be modified only by a written agreement signed by Debtor and the Administrative Agent.

15.7 Agreement Binding; Assignment. This Pledge Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective when executed by Debtor and Administrative Agent. This Pledge Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that Debtor may not assign this Pledge Agreement, or any rights hereunder without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void.

GUARANTY

Dated as of March 30, 2006

From

CRS RETAIL SYSTEMS INC.,

as Guarantor,

KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION,

as Administrative Agent, Sole Book Manager,

Lender and Issuing Lender

and

THE VARIOUS FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS PARTY HERETO,

as Lenders,

GUARANTY

This GUARANTY (this “Guaranty”), dated as of March 30, 2006 by CRS RETAIL SYSTEMS INC., a New York corporation (the “Guarantor”), in favor of each of the Lenders (as defined herein) and KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for itself and for the other financial institutions (collectively, the “Lenders”) which are or may become parties to the Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among EPICOR SOFTWARE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other parties thereto have entered into the Credit Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Borrower and the Guarantor are members of a group of related entities, the success of each of which is dependent in part on the success of the other members of such group;

WHEREAS, the Guarantor expects to receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the Loans made by each Lender to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement (which benefits are hereby acknowledged);

WHEREAS, a condition precedent to the obligation of the Lenders to make their respective extensions of credit to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement is that the Guarantor shall execute and deliver a Guaranty for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; and

WHEREAS, Guarantor wishes to guaranty the Borrower’s obligations to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under and in respect of the Credit Agreement as herein provided.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Guaranty of Payment and Performance of Obligations. In consideration of the Lenders’ extending credit or otherwise in their discretion giving time, financial or banking facilities or accommodations to the Borrower, the Guarantor absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that the Borrower will duly and punctually pay or perform, at the place specified therefor, or if no place is specified, at the Administrative Agent’s head office, (i) all indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to any of the Lenders and


Guaranty		CRS Retail Systems, Inc.

the Administrative Agent, individually or collectively, under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in respect of any of the Loans or the Notes or other instruments at any time evidencing any thereof, whether existing on the date of the Credit Agreement or this Guaranty or arising or incurred thereafter, direct or indirect, secured or unsecured, joint or several, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, arising by contract, operation of law or otherwise, including all such which would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay pursuant to §362(a) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code and the operation of §§502(b) and 506(b) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code; and (ii) without limitation of the foregoing, all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in attempting to collect or enforce any of the foregoing (collectively the “Obligations” and individually an “Obligation”). This Guaranty is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of the full and punctual payment and performance by the Borrower of the Obligations and not of their collectibility only and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that any Lender or the Administrative Agent first attempt to collect any of the Obligations from the Borrower or resort to any security or other means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations which any Lender or the Administrative Agent now has or may acquire after the date hereof or upon any other contingency whatsoever. Upon any Event of Default which is continuing by the Borrower in the full and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations, the liabilities and obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall, at the option of the Administrative Agent, become forthwith due and payable to the Administrative Agent and to the Lender or Lenders owed the same without demand or notice of any nature, all of which are expressly waived by the Guarantor, except for notices required to be given to the Borrower under the Loan Documents. Payments by the Guarantor hereunder may be required by any Lender or the Administrative Agent on any number of occasions.

Section 2. Guarantor’s Further Agreements to Pay. The Guarantor further agrees, as the principal obligor and not as a guarantor only, to pay to each Lender and the Administrative Agent forthwith upon demand, in funds immediately available to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, all costs and expenses (including court costs and legal fees and expenses) incurred or expended by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection with this Guaranty and the enforcement hereof, together with interest on amounts recoverable under this Guaranty from the time after such amounts become due at the default rate of interest set forth in the Credit Agreement; provided that if such interest exceeds the maximum amount permitted to be paid under applicable law, then such interest shall be reduced to such maximum permitted amount.

Section 3. Payments. The Guarantor covenants and agrees that the Obligations will be paid in Dollars and otherwise strictly in accordance with their respective terms regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect thereto.

Guaranty		CRS Retail Systems, Inc.

Section 4. Taxes. All payments hereunder shall be made without any counterclaim or set-off, free and clear of, and without reduction for, any Taxes or Other Taxes, which are now or may hereafter be imposed, levied or assessed by any Governmental Authority on payments hereunder, all of which will be for the account of and paid by the Guarantor. If for any reason, any such reduction is made or any Taxes or Other Taxes are paid by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (except for taxes on income or profits of such Administrative Agent or Lender), the Guarantor agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or such Lender such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that the Administrative Agent or such Lender receives the same net amount which it would have received had no reduction been made or Taxes or Other Taxes paid.

Section 5. [Intentionally Reserved].

Section 6. Liability of the Guarantor. The Administrative Agent and each Lender have and shall have the absolute right to enforce the liability of the Guarantor hereunder without resort to any other right or remedy including any right or remedy under any other guaranty, and the release or discharge of any such other guarantor of any Obligations shall not affect the continuing liability of the Guarantor hereunder that has not been released or discharged.

It is the intention and agreement of the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be valid and enforceable against the Guarantor to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Accordingly, if any provision of this Guaranty creating any obligation of the Guarantor in favor of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be declared to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect or to any extent, it is the stated intention and agreement of the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that any balance of the obligation created by such provision and all other obligations of the Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders created by other provisions of this Guaranty shall remain valid and enforceable. Likewise, if by final order a court of competent jurisdiction shall declare any sums which the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may be otherwise entitled to collect from Guarantor under any other guaranty to be in excess of those permitted under any law (including any federal or state fraudulent conveyance or like statute or rule of law), it is the stated intention and agreement of the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that all sums not in excess of those permitted under such applicable law shall remain fully collectible by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from the Guarantor.

Section 7. Representations and Warranties; Covenants. The Guarantor hereby makes and confirms the representations and warranties made on its behalf by the Borrower pursuant to Section V of the Credit Agreement, as if such representations and warranties were set forth herein. The Guarantor hereby agrees to perform the covenants set forth in Section VI and Section VII of the Credit Agreement (to the extent such covenants expressly apply to Guarantor) as if such covenants were set forth herein. The Guarantor acknowledges that it is, on a collective basis with the Borrower, bound by the financial covenants and other covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Guarantor hereby confirms that it shall be bound by all acts or omissions of the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

Guaranty		CRS Retail Systems, Inc.

Section 8. Effectiveness. The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect and shall remain in operation until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied, and continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment or other satisfaction of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of the Borrower, or otherwise, as though such payment had not been made or other satisfaction occurred. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of the Obligations by reason of applicable bankruptcy laws or any other similar law, or by reason of any law or order of any government or agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend or otherwise affect the Obligations, shall impair, affect, be a defense to or claim against the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty.

Section 9. Freedom of Lender to Deal with Borrower and Other Parties. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be at liberty, without giving notice to or obtaining the assent of Guarantor and without relieving Guarantor of any liability hereunder, to deal with the Borrower and with each other party who now is or after the date hereof becomes liable in any manner for any of the Obligations, in such manner as the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its sole discretion deems fit, and to this end the Guarantor gives to the Administrative Agent and each Lender full authority in its sole discretion to do any or all of the following things: (a) extend credit, make loans and afford other financial accommodations to the Borrower at such times, in such amounts and on such terms as the Administrative Agent or such Lender may approve, (b) vary the terms and grant extensions of any present or future indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower or of any other party to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, (c) grant time, waivers and other indulgences in respect thereto, (d) vary, exchange, release or discharge, wholly or partially, or delay in or abstain from perfecting and enforcing any security or guaranty or other means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations which the Administrative Agent or any Lender now has or may acquire after the date hereof, (e) accept partial payments from the Borrower or any such other party, (f) release or discharge, wholly or partially, any endorser or guarantor, and (g) compromise or make any settlement or other arrangement with the Borrower or any such other party.

Section 10. Unenforceability of Obligations Against Borrower; Invalidity of Security or Other Guaranties. If for any reason the Borrower has no legal existence or is under no legal obligation to discharge any of the Obligations undertaken or purported to be undertaken by it or on its behalf, or if any of the moneys included in the Obligations have become irrecoverable from the Borrower by operation of law or for any other reason, this Guaranty shall nevertheless be binding on the Guarantor to the same extent as if Guarantor at all times had been the principal debtor on all such Obligations. This Guaranty shall be in addition to any other guaranty or other security for the Obligations, and it shall not be prejudiced or rendered unenforceable by the invalidity of any such other guaranty or security.

Guaranty		CRS Retail Systems, Inc.

Section 11. Waivers by Guarantor. (a) The Guarantor waives notice of acceptance hereof, notice of any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in reliance hereon, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender be diligent or prompt in making demands hereunder, giving notice of any default by the Borrower or asserting any other rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder. The Guarantor also irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all defenses in the nature of suretyship that at any time may be available in respect of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder by virtue of any statute of limitations, valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect.

(b) Guarantor understands and acknowledges that if Administrative Agent forecloses, either by judicial foreclosure or by exercise of power of sale, any deed of trust or mortgage securing the Obligations, that foreclosure could impair or destroy any ability Guarantor may have to seek reimbursement, contribution, or indemnification from Borrower or others based on any right Guarantor may have of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnification for any amounts paid by Guarantor under this Guaranty. Guarantor further understands and acknowledges that in the absence of this paragraph, such potential impairment or destruction of Guarantor’s rights, if any, may entitle Guarantor to assert a defense to this Guaranty based on Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”) as interpreted in Union Bank ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 265 Cal. App. 2d. 40 (1968). By executing this Guaranty, Guarantor freely, irrevocably, and unconditionally: (i) waives and relinquishes that defense and agrees that Guarantor will be fully liable under this Guaranty even though Administrative Agent may foreclose, either by judicial foreclosure or by exercise of power of sale, any deed of trust or mortgage securing the Obligations; (ii) agrees that Guarantor will not assert that defense in any action or proceeding Administrative Agent may commence to enforce this Guaranty; (iii) acknowledges and agrees that the rights and defenses waived by Guarantor in this Guaranty include any right or defense Guarantor may have or be entitled to assert based upon or arising out of any one or more of CCP §§ 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 or Section 2848 of the California Civil Code (“CC”); and (iv) acknowledges and agrees that Administrative Agent is relying on this waiver in creating the Obligations, and that this waiver is a material part of the consideration therefor.

(c) Guarantor waives any rights and defenses that are or may become available to Guarantor under CC §§2787 to 2855, inclusive. Guarantor waives the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder.

Section 12. Restriction on Subrogation and Contribution Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary contained herein or provided by applicable Law, unless and until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and satisfied in full, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably defers and agrees not to enforce any and all rights it may have at any time (whether arising directly or indirectly,

-5-


Guaranty		CRS Retail Systems, Inc.

by operation of law or by contract) to assert any claim against the Borrower on account of payments made under this Guaranty, including, without limitation, any and all rights of or claim for subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, exoneration and indemnity, and further waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral which may be held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. In addition, the Guarantor will not claim any set-off or counterclaim against the Borrower in respect of any liability it may have to the Borrower unless and until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and satisfied in full.

Section 13. Notices; Demands. Any demand on or notice made or required to be given pursuant to this Guaranty shall be in writing and shall be delivered in hand, mailed by United States registered or certified first class mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, sent by overnight courier, or sent by telegraph, telecopy, telefax or telex and confirmed by delivery via courier or postal service, addressed as follows:
