$3,500,000                                                      FEBRUARY 7, 2001
                                                              IRVINE, CALIFORNIA


This Amendment to Unsecured Note ("Amendment") is made and entered into
effective as of this 7th day of February 2001, by and between Epicor Software
Corporation ("Corporation") and L. George Klaus.


                                    RECITALS:

        WHEREAS, when George Klaus joined the Corporation in February 1996, he
purchased 2,000,000 shares of restricted common stock pursuant to two promissory
notes, a Note Secured By Stock Pledge Agreement and an Unsecured Note, each in
the amount of $3,500,000 (in the total aggregate principal amount of $7,000,000
(collectively, the "Notes")) due and payable to the Corporation as of February
7, 2001;

        WHEREAS the above-referenced Notes were originally drafted to accrue
interest at six percent (6%) per annum, compounded annually and were accruing
such interest until April 22, 1998 when the Corporation's Board of Directors
voted unanimously, with George Klaus abstaining, to waive the collection of all
accrued interest to date and any interest that may accrue in the future on the
Notes as long as they remain outstanding;

        WHEREAS, Mr. Klaus has not to date paid off any of the amount owing
under the Note Secured By Stock Pledge Agreement or the Unsecured Note; and

        WHEREAS, Mr. Klaus and the Corporation wish to amend the Unsecured Note
to extend the duration of the Unsecured Note for two (2) years and in
consideration for such extension, reinstate the accrual of interest on the
unpaid principle of such Unsecured Note from February 7, 2001 and for as long as
the Unsecured Note remains outstanding and to further provide for accelerated
payment on the Unsecured Note in the event certain conditions are met.

        NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and the mutual
covenants and conditions contained below, Corporation and Mr. Klaus agree to
amend the Unsecured Note as follows:

        1.  The duration of the Unsecured Note shall hereby be extended for a
            period of two (2) years up through and including February 7, 2003;
            provided however that if at any time during that two (2) year
            period, the closing bid price for the Corporation's publicly traded
            common stock equals six dollars ($6.00 USD) or more for ten (10)
            consecutive trading days, the Unsecured Note shall immediately
            become due and payable along with any interest that has accrued to
            that date;



<PAGE>

        2.  From February 7, 2001, and for as long as the Unsecured Note remains
            outstanding, interest shall accrue on the unpaid principle balance
            of the Unsecured Note at a rate of six percent (6.0%) per annum,
            compounded annually and shall be payable by Mr. Klaus to the
            Corporation with the outstanding principal on the maturity date of
            the Unsecured Note; and

        3.  All other terms of the Unsecured Note not impacted or altered by
            this Amendment will remain in full force and effect. All terms not
            defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed to them
            in the Unsecured Note.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned parties have executed this Amendment
effective as of the date first above written.
