CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

Transaction Valuation*	Amount of Filing Fee**
$528,326,521	$20,763.23

* Estimated for purposes of calculating the filing fee only.  This amount assumes the purchase of 55,613,318 shares of common stock of Epicor Software Corporation (“Epicor” and such shares, “Shares”), which amount includes: (i) all 53,508,711 Shares outstanding as of August 1, 2008 other than the 6,065,000 Shares beneficially owned by Elliott Associates, L.P. (“Elliott Associates”) and its affiliated funds, and (ii) stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2007 to purchase 2,104,607 Shares.  The 12,709,984 Shares reserved for issuance upon the conversion of the $230,000,000 of Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 issued by Epicor (“Convertible Notes”) have been excluded from this calculation because the conversion price of those Convertible Notes ($18.10 per Share) exceeds the offer price of $9.50 per Share.  The number of outstanding Shares is contained in Epicor’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008 and the number of outstanding stock options and Convertible Notes is contained in Epicor’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
