EpicEdge, Inc. 5508 Highway 290 West 5508 Highway 290 West Suite 300 Suite 300 Austin, Texas 78735 Austin, Texas 78735 Dear Richard and Bob: The following letter outlines the terms under which Edgewater Private Equity Fund III, L.P ("Edgewater") will consider providing an additional investment in EpicEdge, Inc. (the "Company"). Since the beginning of 2002, Edgewater has funded $2,600,000 under various convertible secured promissory notes. Edgewater is obligated under the Note and Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement and other transaction documents and amendments to those documents (the "April Documents") executed in April, 2002 to convert $1,000,000 plus accured interest to Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series B Stock") at a point in the future that is determined by Edgewater and the Company. The term sheet below outlines the terms under which Edgewater would consider providing an additional $500,000 in debt/equity to the Company and a guaranty to a financial institution to assist with the establishment of a senior secured line of credit for the Company. The newly funded debt will be combined with $1,600,000 plus accrued interest funded under previous secured promissory notes that would be convertible into a Series B-1 Preferred Stock instrument that will have a 3.5x liquidation preference. The Series B-1 liquidation preference will be senior to any other series of preferred stock. In exchange for Edgewater's $1,000,000 guarantee of bank debt, Edgewater will receive warrants that will be convertible into Series B-1 Preferred Stock at a face value of $1,000,000. Effectively, Edgewater would receive warrants for Series B-1 Preferred Stock equal to a direct investment of $1,000,000 for its $1,000,000 guarantee of bank debt. Upon full conversion by Edgewater, the Series B-1 Preferred Stock will total $3,100,000 plus any accrued interest from the $2,100,000 in secured notes. Newly Funded Debt $ 500,000 Previously Funded Debt $1,600,000 Warrants from Guaranty $1,000,000 ---------- Total Series B-1 $3,100,000 (plus accrued interest) Edgewater will agree to convert its existing debt governed by the April Documents to Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shortly following the funding of the additional capital and the establishment of the secured line of credit. The Company agrees to pay all legal and other fees currently outstanding to Edgewater and those incurred during this transaction at the Closing of this transaction. It is understood that this Term Sheet constitutes a statement of the Parties present mutual intentions with respect to the proposed transactions and does not contain all matters upon which agreement must be reached in order for the transactions to be completed. No legally binding agreements or obligations of any party are created by this Memorandum and any contemplated financing is subject to due diligence by the prospective investors. A binding commitment with respect to the transactions will result only from the negotiation, execution and delivery of the definitive Note and Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (and related documents, instruments and agreements).
