                                 EPICEDGE, INC.

                             AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE

                   NOTE AND PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

            THIS AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE NOTE AND PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE
AGREEMENT (this "Amendment") is made as of June 14, 2002, among EpicEdge, Inc.,
a Texas corporation ("Company") and Edgewater Private Equity Fund III, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership ("Edgewater"). Terms not otherwise defined herein
shall have the meanings as set forth in the Purchase Agreement (as defined
below).

            WHEREAS, the Company entered into the Note and Preferred Stock
Purchase Agreement as of April 16, 2002 among the Company, Edgewater, Fleck
T.I.M.E. Fund, L.P., a Connecticut limited partnership, John Paul DeJoria, an
individual, Patrick Loche, an individual and certain other Persons that may
become a party to the Note and Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement from time to
time in accordance with Section 2.4 thereof, if any, and entered into Amendment
No. 1 to the Note and Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement on April 29, 2002 (as
amended, the "Purchase Agreement"), in connection with the issuance by the
Company of notes convertible into preferred stock of the Company;

            WHEREAS, in Section 6.8 of the Purchase Agreement the Company made
the affirmative covenant that it would call the Annual Meeting on or prior to
June 30, 2002;

            WHEREAS, Section 7.1(k) of the Purchase Agreement made it an Event
of Default if the approval was not obtained at the Annual Meeting by June 30,
2002;

            WHEREAS, due to delays beyond the control of the Company, the
Company has been substantially delayed in filing its definitive proxy statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), which definitive proxy
statement must be printed and mailed to the Company's shareholders at least ten
(10) days prior to the date of the Annual Meeting pursuant to the provisions of
the Texas Business Corporation Act (the "TBCA");

            WHEREAS, due to the time that is necessary for the definitive proxy
materials to be printed and mailed, the Company believes that there is
inadequate time remaining in order for it to hold the Annual Meeting on or prior
to June 30, 2002 in compliance with the TBCA and the Purchase Agreement;

            WHEREAS, the Company wishes to postpone the date of the Annual
Meeting until a later date which would allow the Company sufficient time to hold
the meeting in compliance with the TBCA and which would allow the Company
sufficient time to solicit a sufficient number of proxies;

            WHEREAS, the Company and Edgewater desire to amend the Purchase
Agreement in order to extend the date on which the Annual Meeting may be held.
