RE: Employment Agreement

Dear Chuck,

This letter sets forth the amended terms of you employment with Borland Software
Corporation (“Borland”). This letter replaces and supercedes your existing
employment agreement unless explicitly stated otherwise herein. Your position is
Senior Vice President, Research & Development, reporting to Erik Prusch.

In consideration for your service to Borland, you will be paid an annual base
salary of $210,000, less applicable taxes and other withholdings in accordance
with Borland’s standard payroll practices. You will be eligible for the
Incentive Compensation Program (ICP) specific to your position. Your ICP target
is 50% of your annual base salary, based on the attainment of corporate and
individual objectives. Details of this plan will be discussed with you. In
addition, you will continue to participate in, or be eligible to participate in
various Borland fringe benefit plans, including: Group Health Insurance,
Flexible Spending Accounts, 401(k) Savings Plan, Employee Stock Purchase Plan,
and Tuition Reimbursement. Borland reserves the right to modify employee benefit
plans and policies, as it deems necessary.

You have been granted an option to purchase 150,000 shares of Borland common
stock under Borland’s Stock Plans at an exercise price equal to the fair market
value of that stock on the option grant date of February 27, 2009. This option
will vest over a period of four years, with 1/4 of the number of shares vesting
one year following the grant date and 1/48 of the shares vesting monthly
thereafter, until all shares are vested; provided however all shares will be
subject to acceleration in the event of a change of control of Borland and you
are terminated without cause in connection therewith, as provided under the
stock acceleration addendum to be provided with your stock option agreement. Any
stock options previously granted to you will remain in effect in accordance with
the terms thereof.

The option will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Borland Stock
Option Plan and related standard form of stock option agreement and stock
acceleration addendum, which you will be required to sign as a condition of
receiving the option.

You shall be eligible for severance benefits in accordance with the attached
Addendum to Employment Agreement for Severance Benefits, which you will be
required to sign as a condition of receiving the benefits.

Your employment with Borland is “at will”; it is for no specified term, and may
be terminated by you or Borland at any time, with or without cause or advance
notice. Any contrary representations that may have been made to you are
superseded by this offer. You acknowledge that your job duties, title,
compensation and benefits, as well as Borland’s personnel policies and
procedures, may change from time to time. You further acknowledge that the “at
will” nature of your employment may only be changed in an express written
agreement signed by you and Borland.

By continuing your employment with Borland, you represent that you have not and
will not be acting in breach of any agreement with any of your previous
employers. Borland is very impressed with the skills and experience that you
will bring to us and we hope that you will consider this offer carefully. I
would like to remind you that it is Borland’s policy to avoid situations where
information or materials might come into our hands that are considered
proprietary by individuals or companies other than Borland. We are interested in
your continued employment because of your skills and abilities, not because of
any trade secrets you have learned elsewhere. You represent and warrant that you
are not acting in breach of any non-competition, employment or other agreements
with your current employer or any of your previous employers.

You understand that Borland may provide you with one or more types of equipment
to help you perform your duties for Borland, including, but not limited to,
computers, cellular telephones and wireless messaging devices. You further
understand that it is your obligation to take proper care of all such equipment
during your employment, and to return such equipment to Borland in good working
order immediately upon the termination of your employment with Borland for any
reason. If you fail to return any such equipment to Borland upon the termination
of your employment, you hereby authorize Borland to deduct the cost of any
unreturned equipment from your final paycheck.

You acknowledge that you have previously signed Borland’s Employee
Confidentiality and Assignment of Inventions Agreement, which will remain in
effect.

You agree that, in consideration for Borland providing you with proprietary and
confidential information during your employment and associating you with
Borland’s goodwill:

(i) You will not provide Competitive Duties (as defined below) for a Competitor
(as defined below) within the Covered Territory (as defined below) from now
until twelve (12) months following the date your employment with Borland
terminates for any reason (the “Separation Date”); and

(ii) You will not solicit any Covered Customer or Prospective Customer (as
defined below) for—nor will you provide any Covered Customer or Prospective
Customer with—any Competitive Products or Services (as defined below) from now
until twelve (12) months following the Separation Date.

If, during the period from now until one year following the Separation Date, you
decide you would like to pursue an opportunity or otherwise take action
prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, you agree to submit to Borland’s
General Counsel a written request for a modification of the restrictions found
in this Agreement. You agree such written request will include an accurate and
reasonably detailed description of the opportunity or proposed action and an
explanation as to why you believe Borland should waive any term of this
Agreement. You understand that Borland is under no obligation to make any
modification to, or waive any provision of, this Agreement and will decide any
such request in its sole and absolute discretion.

The capitalized terms used above shall have the following meanings:

(i) “Competitive Duties” means duties that relate to Competitive Products or
Services in any way and: (i) are similar in purpose or effect to the duties you
had during the last twelve (12) months of your employment with Borland;
(ii) involve the management, operation, or control of a person, entity, or
business concern; (iii) are performed in the capacity of a director, officer,
partner, or executive; or (iv) consist principally of selling or marketing
Competitive Products or Services.

(ii) “Competitor” shall mean person, entity, or other business concern that
offers or is planning to offer Competitive Products or Services. A person,
entity, or other business concern that offers or plans to offer Competitive
Products or Services and also offers or plans to offer other services is
considered a Competitor.

(iii) “Covered Territory” shall mean any geographic market with respect to which
you had responsibility in connection with your Borland employment or within
which you performed duties or functions in connection with your Borland
employment.

(iv) “Competitive Products or Services” means: (i) the products and services
sold by Borland (as described on www.borland.com) during the last twelve
(12) months of your employment, and (ii) products or services that are otherwise
competitive with any of the products or services being offered, marketed, or
actively developed by the Company at any time during the last twelve (12) months
of your employment.

(v) “Covered Customer or Prospective Customer” means: (i) any Borland customer
or Prospective Customer with whom you had contact (whether in person, by phone,
by e-mail, or otherwise) as an employee of Borland during the last twelve
(12) months of your employment; and (ii) any of Borland customer or Prospective
customer about whom you had any Borland Confidential Information during the last
twelve (12) months of your employment.

To ensure the timely and economical resolution of disputes that arise in
connection with your employment with Borland, you and Borland agree that any and
all disputes, claims, or causes of action (collectively, “Claims”) arising from
or relating to the enforcement, breach, performance or interpretation of this
Agreement, your employment, or the termination of your employment (including,
but not limited to, any Claims for compensation, benefits, stock or stock
options, fraud or age, sex, race, disability or other discrimination or
harassment), shall be resolved to the fullest extent permitted by law by final,
binding and confidential arbitration, by a single arbitrator, in Travis County,
Texas ,conducted by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”)
under the applicable JAMS employment rules, or other arbitrator or arbitration
rules to which you and Borland mutually agree. By agreeing to this arbitration
procedure, both you and Borland waive the right to resolve any such dispute
through a trial by jury or judge or administrative proceeding. The arbitrator
shall: (a) have the authority to compel adequate discovery for the resolution of
the dispute and to award such relief as would otherwise be permitted by law; and
(b) issue a written arbitration decision, to include the arbitrator’s essential
findings and conclusions and a statement of the award. The arbitrator shall be
authorized to award any or all remedies that you or Borland would be entitled to
seek in a court of law. Borland shall pay all arbitrator and arbitration
administrative fees in excess of the amount of court fees that would be required
if the dispute were decided in a court of law. Nothing in this Agreement is
intended to prevent either you or Borland from obtaining injunctive relief in
court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any such
arbitration.

This agreement and the other agreements referred to above constitute the entire
agreement between you and Borland regarding the terms and conditions of your
employment, and they supersede all prior negotiations, representations or
agreements, whether oral or written, between you and Borland. This agreement may
only be modified by a document signed by you and a duly authorized signatory of
Borland.

We look forward to working with you at Borland. Please sign and date this letter

For Severance Benefits

The provisions of this Employment Agreement Addendum for Severance Benefits (the

your annual Base Salary, less applicable withholding. Such amount shall be
payable in a lump sum no later than five (5) days following expiration of any
revocation period required in connection with the release of claims; provided,
however, if this payment is subject to Section 409A and you are a “specified
employee” (as defined in Section 409A), this payment shall be made within five
(5) days after the six (6) month anniversary of the Termination Date, which
shall not exceed sixty-five (65) days after the Termination Date.

  ii.   Termination of Employment During the Change in Control Period. If your
employment is terminated as a result of an Involuntary Termination during the
Change in Control Period and you sign a release of claims (substantially in the
form attached hereto as Appendix B), then you shall be entitled to payment of
one hundred percent (100%) of your annual Base Salary, less applicable
withholding. Such amount shall be payable in a lump sum no later than five
(5) days following expiration of any revocation period required in connection
with the release of claims; provided, however, if this payment is subject to
Section 409A and you are a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A),
this payment shall be made within five (5) days after the six (6) month
anniversary of the Termination Date, which shall not exceed sixty-five (65) days
after the Termination Date.

  iii.   Continuing Medical Coverage. If your employment is terminated as a
result of an Involuntary Termination, whether or not a Change in Control Period,
and you sign a release of claims (in a form satisfactory to Borland, an example
of which is attached hereto as Appendix B), then you shall be entitled to
payment for your premiums for health (i.e., medical, vision and dental)
continuation coverage under COBRA; provided, however, that (i) you are eligible
for COBRA on the Termination Date and (ii) you elect continuation coverage
pursuant to COBRA, within the required time period. Borland shall continue to
provide you with health coverage pursuant to this paragraph until the earliest
of (i) the date you are no longer eligible to receive continuation coverage
pursuant to COBRA, (ii) twelve (12) months from the Termination Date or
(iii) the date on which you obtain comparable health coverage. You agree to
notify Borland promptly after you obtain alternative health coverage.

b.   Mitigation. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, you shall not
be required to mitigate damages or the amount of any payment provided under this
Addendum by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any
payment provided for under this Addendum be reduced by any compensation you earn
as a result of your employment by another employer or by any retirement benefits
you receive after the Termination Date.

C.   SUCCESSORS.

  i.   Borland’s Successors. Any successor to Borland (whether direct or
indirect and whether by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation, liquidation or
otherwise) to all or substantially all of Borland’s business and/or assets shall
assume Borland’s obligations under this Addendum and agree expressly to perform
Borland’s obligations under this Addendum in the same manner and to the same
extent as Borland would be required to perform such obligations in the absence
of a succession. For all purposes under this Addendum, the term “Borland” shall
include any successor to Borland’s business and/or assets which acknowledges it
will be bound by the terms of this Addendum or which becomes bound by the terms
of this Addendum by operation of law.

  ii.   Your Successors. Without the written consent of Borland, you shall not
assign or transfer this Addendum or any right or obligation under this Addendum
to any other person or entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of this
Addendum and all you rights hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be
enforceable by, your personal or legal representatives, executors,
administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.

d.   Notices. Notices and all other communications contemplated by this Addendum
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally
delivered or when mailed by U.S. registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested and postage prepaid. In your case, mailed notices shall be addressed
to you at the home address which you most recently communicated to Borland in
writing. In the case of Borland, mailed notices shall be addressed to its
corporate headquarters, and all notices shall be directed to the attention of
its General Counsel.

e.   This Addendum is intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of
the Code with respect to amounts subject thereto, and shall be interpreted and
construed consistent with such intent; provided that, notwithstanding the other
provisions of this Addendum, with respect to any right to a payment or benefit
hereunder (or portion thereof) that does not otherwise provide for a “deferral
of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, it is the
intent of the parties that such payment or benefit will not so provide.
Furthermore, if either party notifies the other in writing that, based on the
advice of legal counsel, one or more of the provisions of this Addendum
contravenes any regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated under Section 409A
of the Code or causes any amounts to be subject to interest or penalties under
Section 409A of the Code, the parties shall promptly and reasonably consult with
each other (and with their legal counsel), and shall use their reasonable best
efforts, to reform the provisions hereof to (a) maintain to the maximum extent
practicable the original intent of the applicable provisions without violating
the provisions of Section 409A of the Code or increasing the costs to the
Company of providing the applicable benefit or payment and (b) to the extent
practicable, to avoid the imposition of any tax, interest or other penalties
under Section 409A of the Code upon Executive or the Company.”

F.   MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

  i.   Integration. This Addendum represents the entire agreement and
understanding between the parties as to the subject matter herein and supersede
all prior or contemporaneous agreements and provisions in other agreements
related to severance benefits, whether written or oral. With respect to any
conflict between this Addendum and any stock option agreement, stock issuance
agreement or other stock award agreement, this Addendum shall prevail. With
respect to any conflict between this Addendum and the Employment Agreement or
any other employment related agreement, this Addendum shall prevail. For the
avoidance of doubt, with respect to any severance benefits provided for under
your Employment Agreement, this Addendum shall supersede the provisions of your
Employment Agreement with respect to severance benefits provided thereunder.

  ii.   Choice of Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and
performance of this Addendum shall be governed by the internal substantive laws,
but not the conflicts of law rules, of the State of Texas.

  iii.   Employment Taxes. All payments made pursuant to this Addendum shall be
subject to withholding of applicable income and employment taxes.

  iv.   Non-Publication. The parties mutually agree not to disclose the terms of
this Addendum except to the extent that disclosure is mandated by applicable
law, standard or required corporate reporting, or disclosure is made to the
parties’ respective advisors and agents (e.g., attorneys, accountants) or
immediate family members.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has executed this Addendum, in the case
of Borland by its duly authorized officer, as of the day and year first above
written.

whether I sign this Release, Borland will pay me all of my accrued salary and
vacation through the Separation Date, to which I am entitled by law.

as described therein, I hereby generally and completely release Borland, its
directors, officers, employees, stockholders, partners, agents, attorneys,
predecessors, successors, parent and subsidiary entities, insurers, affiliates,
and assigns from any and all claims, liabilities and obligations, both known and
unknown, that arise out of or are in any way related to events, acts, conduct,
