7. UPS PRODUCT: For purposes of this Agreement, the "UPS Product" shall mean the

a UPS customer. It is understood by UPS and GUPTA that applications outside this
family are not covered by this Agreement.

8. OTHER TERMS:

(a) INTERNAL USE LICENSE: Internal use by UPS and its authorized contractors and
consultants of the Programs is covered by the license fees paid by UPS at no
additional charge provided that such use is related to the development and
support of the UPS Product. During the term of this Agreement, and provided that
all license fees have been paid, UPS shall have the right to copy and use
internally the Programs as reasonably necessary to support the current and
future development efforts of Products; training of UPS personnel in the UPS
Products; UPS Help Desk copies for first and second level support of the UPS
Products; and external sales and internal demonstrations of the UPS Products.
All such use shall respect GUPTA's and GUPTA's licensors intellectual and other
proprietary rights in and to the Programs as provided in this Agreement.

Internal use by UPS of the Programs or other GUPTA products for other purposes
is subject to a separate agreement between UPS and GUPTA.

(b) SQLBASE SERVER PROGRAM USAGE: UPS agrees and acknowledges that the License
Fees paid by UPS hereunder are based on the forecast by UPS that no more than
20% of its overall user base for the UPS Product(s) shall use or access the
SQLBase Server Programs. UPS agrees to measure such usage and to report to GUPTA
on or before September 30, 1996 the exact percentage such user base accessing
the SQLBase Server Programs as of June 30, 1996. If such percentage exceeds the
20% forecast UPS agrees to negotiate in good faith with GUPTA no later than
December 31, 1996 the additional compensation, if any, for such excess
percentage.

(c) MODIFICATION TO THE QUEST QUERY ACTIVITY PROGRAM: Independent from UPS and
GUPTA other rights and obligations under this Agreement, GUPTA agrees to
undertake a minor modification of the Quest Query Activity Program to ease UPS's
integration of such Program into the UPS Product. Such modification shall
involve providing a C++ wrapper to such Quest Query Activity Program and provide
the following functionality:

      (i) C++ class tied to Microsoft Foundation Class using the query engine
      dynamic link library. This class will be able to drive the GUPTA Report
      engine class; and

      (ii) C++ class tied to Microsoft Foundation Class to provide query design
      and table window preview. This class will integrate into the UPS Product
      as an MDI child window. It would also allow the file save dialogue to be
      overridden and allow query access to be restricted to specific tables and
      columns.

GUPTA shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to provide such modification
to UPS before December 31, 1994. In consideration for GUPTA's separate agreement
to undertake such work, UPS agrees to pay GUPTA $100,000 net thirty (30) days
from delivery to UPS of such modification; provided, however, that if GUPTA
fails to deliver such modification to UPS on or before January 5, 1995, UPS
shall not be obligated to acquire the modification in which case GUPTA shall be
relieved of any obligation to provide such modification to UPS. Such
modification shall remain GUPTA's sole and exclusive property and shall have the
same licensing rights in the modification as it does to the Programs, (i.e.,
licensed by GUPTA to UPS for use, sublicensing and distribution in conjunction
with its rights to the Programs under this Agreement)

(d) TECHNICAL COOPERATION: GUPTA shall use all commercially reasonable efforts
to incorporate UPS Product test scripts as part of GUPTA's quality assurance
efforts for the Programs.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereby confirm that this Agreement is effective
at the date set forth above and that all terms and conditions have been agreed
to:

IV. OUR LOGOS

      (1) "GUPTA" Company Logo: Upon request and provided you have been
            authorized to use the "GUPTA" logo, We will provide you with
            camera-ready art of the latest version of the logo. You must
            discontinue use of all previous versions of our logo. The following
            design rules will apply to the use of the GUPTA logo:

            (a)   The GUPTA logo must be accurately shown in standard
                  proportions and placement and must NEVER be distorted,
                  superimposed, reversed, outlined or rotated;

            (b)   The GUPTA logo must not be incorporated into any other symbol
                  or mark or be used as a border on any ad;

            (c)   If the GUPTA logo is used on store signage, stationery or
                  business cards, care must be taken to create the overall
                  impression that the advertising is for Gupta products and/or
                  services, not that you are Gupta or that the logo belongs to
                  you.

      (2) "GUPTA POWERED" Logo: If you are interested in using this logo and
            satisfy the criteria, you must enter into a separate Logo License
            Agreement with Gupta.

V. GENERAL RULES FOR PRINTED MATERIALS

      (1) The marks must be used as an adjective to identify Gupta's products
            (trademarks) or services (service marks). They should never be used
            as a noun or verb; the mark must modify a product or service.

            For example:       You may state              You may not state

                               SQLBase(R) Server          SQLBase(R) [by itself]

      (2) The marks should never appear in the plural or possessive:

            For example:       You may state              You may not state

                               SQLBase(R) Server's        SQLBase(R)'s

      (3) The marks should never be abbreviated or made into an acronym:

            For example:       You may state              You may not state

                               SQLWindows(R) Software     SQLWin Software

      (4) The marks or the Gupta company name should never be used as or
            incorporated into another company's name (whether a corporate name
            or d/b/a) to avoid confusion in the marketplace

            For example:       You may not state

                                   Exhibit C

                   Escalation Procedures and Call Priorities

It is important for customers to understand the call flow process within the
Technical Services organization and throughout the company. This escalation
process is designed to make sure that support resources are leveraged to best
serve our customers (i.e., calls) with the severest problems given immediate
attention. Below are two charts outlining the escalation procedure followed for
any call placed into a GUPTA Technical Support facility. The way in which a
specific situation is handled depends on the severity of the call logged into
Technical Services. GUPTA's call priority rankings are detailed in the first
chart. GUPTA will use its commercially reasonable efforts to escalate calls
throughout the organization as reflected in the second chart.

Dear Richard:

OEM SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT DATED SEPTEMBER 29, 1994 AND AMENDED BY LETTER
AGREEMENT DATED SEPTEMBER 8, 1995 ("AGREEMENT").

This letter is simply to confirm and clarify certain terms of our existing
Agreement with United Parcel Service, General Service Company ("UPS").

In prior years, Centura Software Corporation ("Centura") engaged in various
marketing programs wherein customers occasionally received certain Centura
products free of charge. The intent of this letter is to confirm your
understanding that such activities do not create an obligation, either express
or implied, on the part of Centura to deliver any such free merchandise to UPS.
And that it is your understanding that the terms of the Agreement provide UPS
with rights to use product only as specifically set forth in the Agreement and
do not expressly or implicitly provide UPS with rights to receive other products
produced by Centura free of charge.

We very much appreciate our relationship with UPS and look forward to our
continuing involvement and in providing UPS with robust mobile and secure
computing solutions.

Thank you very much for your attention to this matter. If you could please
indicate your acknowledgment and concurrence with the foregoing statements by
signing and returning a copy of this letter to Mike Mitrowski, it would be
greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,                                    Agreed,

Mr. Michael Traub
Lead Contracts Administrator
United Parcel Service

Subject: Notice of Intent ("Notice") to extend the OEM Software License
Agreement (Agreement Number 94-OEM-4914-UPS) (the "Agreement")

Dear Mr. Traub:

This Notice confirms that United Parcel Service ("UPS") has elected to exercise
the option granted by Centura Software Corporation ("Centura") in Sections 3(b)
and 5(c) of the Agreement to extend the term of the Agreement for a two-year
period and purchase an additional 10,000 copies of the Programs (at US$20 per
copy) pursuant to the following terms and conditions:

1.    TERM OF AGREEMENT: Upon the Effective Date of this Notice and in
      consideration for the payment specified in Section 2 below, the term of
      the Agreement is hereby extended through December 31, 2001.

2.    PAYMENT: Upon the Effective Date of this Notice and in consideration for
      the license granted in Section 3 below, UPS irrevocably agrees to pay
      Centura a nonrefundable, noncontingent payment of US$200,000 (two hundred
      thousand U.S. dollars) due and payable to Centura on or before December
      31, 1999.

3.    LICENSE GRANTED: Upon the Effective Date of this Notice and in
      consideration for the payment specified in Section 2 above, Centura hereby
      grants UPS the right to reproduce 10,000 copies of the SQLBase Program for
      UPS's use, sublicense, and distribution in conjunction with and as an
      embedded component of the UPS Product, pursuant to the terms and
      conditions of the Agreement. UPS's right to use, reproduce, sublicense,
      and distribute these 10,000 licenses, and any other set of 10,000 licenses
      purchased pursuant to this extension of rights, shall survive the extended
      expiration date set forth in Section 1 above, provided the total number of
      licenses distributed does not exceed the total quantity purchased pursuant
      to the Agreement. Nothing herein shall be construed to reduce or limit
      UPS's right to use, sublicense, and distribute an unlimited number of
      copies of the SQLBase Programs prior to December 31, 1999 pursuant to the
      Agreement ("1999 Unlimited Deployment Right"). Centura acknowledges that
      the exercise of UPS's 1999 Unlimited Deployment Right will not impair or
      limit the quantity of copies of the SQLBase Programs purchased pursuant to
      this Notice (whether rights to such copies are purchased now or later
      during the Extended Term).

4.    ADDITIONAL LICENSES: The parties acknowledge that the Agreement provides
      that UPS may, at any time during the Extended Term of this Agreement,
      acquire the right to use, sublicense, and distribute additional copies of
      the SQLBase Program in minimum increments of 10,000 copies at $20.00 per
      copy. Nothing in this Section 4 is intended to revise or extend any rights
      or obligations set forth in the Agreement.

5.    SUPPORT NOT EXTENDED: Pursuant to Section 6(e) of the Agreement, Centura
      hereby notifies UPS of its ability to extend its support, maintenance,
      update, and upgrade rights as provided in the Agreement. UPS has elected
      not to extend such rights at this time, and this Notice does not provide
      for any such extension, but UPS retains its right to so extend its rights
      on or by October 31, 1999 pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
      Agreement.

All other terms and conditions of the Agreement remain in effect. In the event
of conflict between the terms and conditions of the Agreement and of this
Notice, the terms and conditions of this Notice will govern. Where applicable,
the defined terms in the Agreement will have the same meaning in this Notice.
This Notice is valid only if executed by UPS on September 30, 1999.

The letter agreements I sent to you earlier today and yesterday are null and
void and replaced by this document.

      Dear Mr. Traub:

      1.    PAYMENT: Upon the Effective Date of this Notice and in consideration

            nonrefundable, noncontingent payment of US$113,500 (one hundred

            Centura in full on or before November 30, 1999.

      2.    ENTERPRISE SUPPORT: In consideration for US$25,000 of the US$113,500
            payment specified In Section 1 above, Centura will provide
            Enterprise (Telephone) Support to UPS, for the period January 1,
            2000 through December 31, 2000, for a maximum of five (5) designated
            UPS support contacts pursuant to Centura's current Enterprise
            Support policies and procedures.

      3.    CLS: In consideration for US$88,500 of the US$113,500 payment

            license fees paid by UPS, or due to Centura, under the Agreement),
            Centura will provide CLS to UPS, for the Programs currently licensed
            pursuant to the Agreement and for the 10,000 copies of the SQLBase

            procedures, Centura will, in its sole discretion, designate new
            releases as "updates" and "upgrades."

      All other terms and conditions of the Agreement remain In effect. In the
      event of conflict between the terms and conditions of the Agreement and of
      this Notice, the terms and conditions of this Notice will govern. Where

      in this Notice. This Notice is valid only If executed by UPS on or before

            Re:   GUPTA Agreement No. 94-OEM-4914-UPS
                  UPS Agreement No. 94-5487

      Dear Ms. Scearce:

      I am writing in response to your request for information about levels of
      inventory for the UPS Product and GUPTA Programs.

      We currently have 80,650 copies of the UPS Product in inventory for
      distribution. This is consistent with our historical levels of year-end
      inventory. (For example, as of December 2003 we had approximately 76,500
      copies in inventory).

      With respect to GUPTA Programs, our records reflect that we currently have
      18 copies that our developers use to create the UPS Product. If for any
      reason your records reflect anything different, please let me know.

      You have also asked about shipments of GUPTA Programs to end users. We do
      not, however, ship GUPTA "Programs" to end users. Rather, we distribute
      "UPS Product" as defined in the contract, and the Product contains the
      GUPTA Program. This may not make a difference for purposes of your
      question, but I wanted to bring it to your attention and clarify it.

      I believe that this addresses your questions. Please note that our license
      agreement has a confidentiality provision in it. We consider this
      information confidential and subject to those terms. It should not be
      distributed or shared with anyone else.

      Sincerely,

      /s/ Michael Traub
