Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On June 14, 2007, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Epicor Software Corporation (the “Company”), approved two forms of restricted stock agreements (collectively referred to as the “Agreements”) for use under the Company’s 2007 Stock Incentive Plan.

General Terms. The Agreements provide for the grant of a number of shares of Company common stock subject to achievement of certain vesting criteria. The recipient must pay a purchase price per share equal to the par value of Company common stock ($0.001), which will be deemed paid through the recipient’s services rendered to the Company. In the event the grant is subject to tax withholdings, the recipient must make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to cover applicable tax withholdings.

Vesting. The time-based vested form of restricted stock agreement provides that the shares of Company common stock subject to the restricted stock award will vest according to a time-based vesting schedule and subject to the recipient remaining a service provider through the applicable vesting date(s). The performance-based vested form of restricted stock agreement provides that the shares of Company common stock subject to the restricted stock award will vest depending on achievement of certain performance criteria over one or more performance years, in accordance with a time-based vesting schedule, and subject to the recipient remaining employed through a specified date(s). In addition, the performance-based vested form of restricted stock agreement provides that, in the event of a Change in Control (as such term is defined in the Company’s 2007 Stock Incentive Plan), the restricted stock award will vest in the number of shares of restricted stock attributable to the highest achievement target percentages in a specified achievement level for the applicable performance goals for the performance year in which the Change of Control occurs and any future performance year(s). Except as otherwise provided in the Agreements, shares that have not vested by the time of a recipient’s termination of service with the Company will be forfeited.

Stockholder Rights. A restricted stock award recipient generally will have the rights of a Company stockholder, including voting rights and the right to receive dividends and distributions, with respect to the shares upon their issuance, recordation and delivery to the recipient or escrow agent.

This summary of the terms of the Agreements is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the Agreements, filed hereto as exhibits 10.1 and 10.2.
