GUPTA has a legal obligation to collect such taxes or duties, GUPTA will add the
applicable amount to the monthly statement. DISTRIBUTOR shall pay this amount
unless DISTRIBUTOR provides GUPTA with a valid exemption certificate authorized
by the applicable taxation authority. If Distributor is required by law to
deduct or withhold any Taxes from any sum payable hereunder, then the sum
payable by DISTRIBUTOR upon which the deduction or withholding is based shall be
increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after deduction of all Taxes,
GUPTA receives a net amount equal to the amount GUPTA would have received in the
absence of such Taxes.

that DISTRIBUTOR and VAR has taken such steps as GUPTA deems appropriate to
protect the proprietary rights of GUPTA in each foreign country in which any
Products or Services are to be used or distributed.

                              12. CONFIDENTIALITY

Each party shall take all steps which are reasonable to safeguard the
confidentiality of, and proprietary rights to, the confidential information
("Confidential Information") of the other party which may be disclosed hereunder
(including, but not limited to, product plans, designs, business plans,
technical specifications, research, customer or financial data) (but excluding
aggregated data) and shall not, without the prior written consent of the other
party, (a) use such Confidential Information for its own benefit or the benefit
of any third party except for purposes expressly provided for in this Agreement,
or (b) disclose such Confidential Information to any third party; provided,
however, that this Section 12 shall not be construed to restrict the disclosure
of information which (i) is publicly known in its complied form at the time of
its disclosure to a party, (b) is lawfully received by a party from a third
party not bound in a confidential relationship to GUPTA or DISTRIBUTOR, (c) was
already known by GUPTA or DISTRIBUTOR in its complied form before entering into
this Agreement, or (d) after notice and an opportunity to object, is required by
law to be disclosed. This provision shall survive termination of this Agreement
for a period of three years.

                            13. TERM AND TERMINATION

13.1. TERM OF APPOINTMENT.

13.1.1. INITIAL TERM.

The initial term of DISTRIBUTOR's appointment shall end twelve (12) months from
the Effective Date of this Agreement unless terminated earlier under the
provisions of this Agreement.

13.2. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE BY EITHER PARTY.

Either party may terminate DISTRIBUTOR's appointment upon a material default
that has not been cured within thirty (30) days after delivery of written notice
describing the facts constituting the default. In addition, any party may
terminate DISTRIBUTOR's appointment by giving written notice to the other if (a)

within sixty (60) days; (b) an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding is commenced
against the other party and is not dismissed within sixty (60) days; (c) a

benefit of creditors; or (e) the other party voluntarily or involuntarily takes

13.3. TERMINATION LIABILITY.

compensation, reimbursement, or damages on account of the loss of prospective
profits or anticipated sales or on account of expenditures, inventory,
investments, leases, or commitments in connection with the business or goodwill
of GUPTA or DISTRIBUTOR. Each party acknowledges that it has been advised to
determine the extent to which it might be entitled to rights or protections
provided by statute or otherwise in connection with the termination of
DISTRIBUTOR's appointment; that it has made such determination or freely chosen
not to do so; and that it waives all such rights and protections to the fullest
extent possible. Termination of DISTRIBUTOR's appointment shall not relieve any
party of obligations under this Agreement incurred before termination.

13.4. SURVIVAL OF CERTAIN TERMS.

Termination of DISTRIBUTOR's appointment terminates (i) DISTRIBUTOR's right to
purchase and resell Products and Services; (ii) GUPTA's obligation to sell
Products and Services to DISTRIBUTOR; and (iii) DISTRIBUTOR's authorization to
operate an ATC or ASC pursuant to Exhibits C and/or D. Termination of
DISTRIBUTOR's appointment does not terminate rights and obligations of the

intended to survive termination of this Agreement, such as, but not limited to,
Sections 9, 10, and 12.

13.5  CEASE USE.

Upon termination of this Agreement, DISTRIBUTOR will immediately and will
require that its VARs immediately, cease all use of the Products, cease all
display, advertising and use of all trademarks, trade names and logos belonging
or licensed to GUPTA and will not thereafter use, advertise or display any name,
mark or logo which is similar to any such trademark, trade name or logo. Upon
such termination, DISTRIBUTOR shall and shall require that its VARs shall
immediately: (i) cease to use any marketing or other materials which identify it
as a representative of GUPTA or of the Products and Services, and (ii) remove
all signs, cancel all business listings, and take such other reasonable action
as may be necessary to remove its identification as such an agent or
representative. DISTRIBUTOR shall promptly disclose to GUPTA the identity of,
and the current state of negotiations with, all potential VARs and End Users
together with copies of all correspondence with such potential VARs and End
Users. DISTRIBUTOR also shall cooperate with GUPTA in effecting an orderly
transition of DISTRIBUTOR's activities hereunder from DISTRIBUTOR to GUPTA or to
any successor of DISTRIBUTOR designated by GUPTA, as the case may be. GUPTA
shall reimburse DISTRIBUTOR for the reasonable costs incurred by it in effecting
such transfer.

13.6  RETURN MATERIALS.

Upon termination of this Agreement, DISTRIBUTOR shall, and shall require that
its VARs shall, at its expense, promptly return to GUPTA all copies of the
Products, Evaluation and Demonstration Products, Confidential Information, and
any marketing or other materials relating to the Products and Services, whether
in original or altered form or copied in whole or in part and shall deliver to

certificate signed by an officer of DISTRIBUTOR certifying the return of all
such materials.

reproduce, disclose, transfer or transmit, in whole or in part, in any manner,
any Product, or any information which would permit the duplication, recreation
or other utilization of any Confidential Information.

                               14. MISCELLANEOUS

14.1. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and their
respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, DISTRIBUTOR
shall not assign any of DISTRIBUTOR's rights nor delegate any of DISTRIBUTOR's
obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of GUPTA,
which GUPTA shall not withhold unreasonably.

14.2. AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS, AND CONSENTS.

This Agreement shall not be amended except in a writing signed by the parties.
No waiver or consent shall be binding except in a writing signed by the party
making the waiver or giving the consent. No waiver of any provision or consent
to any action shall constitute a waiver of any other provision or consent to any
other action, whether or not similar. No waiver or consent shall constitute a
continuing waiver or consent except to the extent specifically set forth in
writing. The agreement or consent of GUPTA may only be manifested by the
signature of the president or a vice president of GUPTA.

14.3. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.

The parties acknowledge that it will be extremely difficult to measure in money
the damage to the parties of any failure to comply with any of the restrictions
or obligations imposed by this Agreement, that every such restriction and
obligation is material, and that in the event of any such failure, the parties
will not have an adequate remedy at law or in damages. Therefore, each party
consents to the issuance of an injunction or the enforcement of other equitable
remedies against it at the suit of an aggrieved party, without bond or other
security, to compel performance of all of the terms of this Agreement, and
waives any defenses to an equitable remedy, including without limitation the
defenses of failure of consideration, breach of any other provision of this
Agreement, and availability of relief in damages. To the extent that a party is
the subject of an injunction which is unenforceable in the Territory, the
parties contractually agree that violation of such injunction outside of the
jurisdiction of the issuing court in a jurisdiction that does not allow for
reciprocal enforcement of equitable injunctions shall be a breach of this
Agreement and shall be subject to an action for treble damages.

14.4. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

The parties shall submit any dispute concerning this Agreement to final and
binding arbitration. Arbitration shall take place in Santa Clara County,
California. Arbitration shall be conducted on a private, confidential basis by a
single, neutral arbitrator agreed by the parties or, absent such agreement,
appointed by the Presiding Civil Judge of the Santa Clara County Superior Court
upon the request of either party. The award of the arbitrator shall be
enforceable according to the applicable provisions of the California Code of
Civil Procedure, sections 1280 et seq. There shall be no arbitration of any
claim that would otherwise be barred by a statute of limitations if the claim
were to be brought in a court of law. The arbitrator shall not have the power to
award punitive, consequential, indirect, or special damages or to make any
decision affecting GUPTA's rights in its Intellectual Property.

14.5. GOVERNING LAW.

The rights and obligations of the parties shall be governed by, and this
Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the
State of California, excluding its conflict of laws rules to the extent such
rules would apply the law of another jurisdiction.

14.6. JURISDICTION AND VENUE.

The parties consent to the jurisdiction of all federal and state courts in
California, and agree that venue for any litigation or dispute resolution
proceeding shall lie exclusively in Santa Clara County, California.

14.7. ATTORNEY'S FEES.

In any suit, action, counterclaim, or arbitration to enforce the provisions of
this Agreement (including without limitation enforcement of any award or
judgment obtained with respect to this Agreement), the prevailing party shall be
entitled to recover a reasonable allowance for attorney's fees, litigation
expenses, and the cost of mediation and arbitration in addition to court costs.

14.8  GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS.

DISTRIBUTOR shall, and shall require that its VARs shall, at its expense obtain
any and all government approvals when and as such approvals may be required by
the laws or regulations of any government in the Territory in connection with
this Agreement, with the Products and Services, or with any of DISTRIBUTOR's or
VARs' activities hereunder.

14.9  COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.

DISTRIBUTOR shall, and shall require that its VARs shall, comply with all laws,
rules, regulations, orders, decrees, judgments and other governmental acts or
other restrictions which may be imposed from time to time ("Laws") of the United
States of America, each government within the Territory, and any other
government that may have jurisdiction over DISTRIBUTOR, VARs, and their
respective activities hereunder, or over the Products or Services.

14.10 FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT COMPLIANCE.

DISTRIBUTOR represents that neither it, its VARs nor any of their respective
directors, officers, shareholders, partners, employees, agents or persons having
primary or supervisory responsibilities within DISTRIBUTOR's or VARs' business
has ever been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for
commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining or
attempting to obtain, or performing a public (Federal, state or local) contract
or subcontract; violation of Federal or state antitrust statutes relating to the
submission of offers; commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery,
falsification or destruction of records; making false statements or receiving
stolen property. DISTRIBUTOR shall promptly notify GUPTA LEGAL Department in the
event DISTRIBUTOR learns of any such conviction or judgment or potential
conviction or judgment. Upon GUPTA's request from time to time, DISTRIBUTOR
shall certify to the continuing accuracy of the foregoing representations.

14.11 Neither DISTRIBUTOR, its VARs, nor any of their respective employees or
agents shall, directly or indirectly, pay, offer to pay or authorize the payment
of anything of value to any government official, government employee, political
party or political candidate in the Territory to obtain or retain business in
connection with this Agreement or otherwise to influence

Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the parties with regard to the
subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement supersedes all previous

      applicable products or services upon 30 days prior written notice to
      DISTRIBUTOR.

      (a)   DISTRIBUTOR agrees to take immediate corrective action if the
            student GUPTA Course evaluation results average under 7 (on a scale
            of 1-10; 10 being best) in any evaluation criteria including overall
            GUPTA Course evaluation. GUPTA agrees to provide updated GUPTA
            Course materials to address problems identified with the GUPTA
            Course materials in a commercially reasonable timeframe.

      (b)   DISTRIBUTOR agrees to provide GUPTA with a current schedule of GUPTA
            Courses that are open for general customer enrollment on a quarterly
            basis, at least 60 days in advance. GUPTA will make the schedules
            available upon request to customers inquiring about classes and
            assist DISTRIBUTOR in marketing such classes. Alternately,
            DISTRIBUTOR may provide GUPTA with an Internet URL that will direct
            the user to an online schedule of training for that DISTRIBUTOR.
            GUPTA will then link the DISTRIBUTOR's URL to the GUPTA training
            page.

      (c)   DISTRIBUTOR agrees not to cancel publicly scheduled GUPTA Courses
            less than two weeks before the start of the GUPTA Course except for
            causes beyond its reasonable control. DISTRIBUTOR agrees to notify
            GUPTA within one business day (by fax) or as soon as is reasonably
            possible of any GUPTA Courses canceled for lack of enrollment or any
            other reasons.

(iv)  To meet the facilities requirements specified in Section 6; and

(v)   To meet the GUPTA Course materials requirements when teaching a GUPTA
      Course.

(a)   Certification Process for GUPTA Certified Instructors: Instructor
      candidates for GUPTA Certification will provide a written summary of their

      LLC.

(b)   Recertification Process: GUPTA may, in its reasonable discretion, require
      recertification of the GUPTA Courses or instructors in the event GUPTA
      releases significant modifications to the GUPTA products which are the
      subject of a particular GUPTA Course or an instructor's certification, as
      set forth in Section 5(a) above.

6.    FACILITIES: In providing the Authorized Services, DISTRIBUTOR will use a
facility that meets GUPTA's reasonable minimum standards as set forth in
Attachment 3. GUPTA, at its sole discretion, may modify such minimum standards
from time to time. Training facilities must include all appropriate hardware.
This will include a trainer machine, server machine (where applicable), and
student machines. No more than two (2) students per machine are allowed.

7.    COURSEWARE MATERIALS FOR GUPTA COURSES: During the Term of this Agreement,
GUPTA will make available Student Kits for each GUPTA Course offered.

attending a GUPTA Course (see Attachment 4, Order Form for GUPTA Student Kits).

8.    STRICTLY PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES: DISTRIBUTOR shall not, nor shall
DISTRIBUTOR cause or authorize a third party to copy, manufacture, adapt, rent,
lease, lend, trade-in, create derivative works from, translate, reverse
engineer, disassemble or decompile or otherwise modify the GUPTA Courses or
Student Kits.

9.    CLASS REGISTRATION AND MARKETING: DISTRIBUTOR will be responsible for
registering and enrolling students, and collecting payment. DISTRIBUTOR will
also assume the primary responsibility of advertising the GUPTA Courses. In the
event that DISTRIBUTOR wishes to participate in GUPTA's customer mailing list,
DISTRIBUTOR will provide GUPTA with such advertising materials, and pay to GUPTA
all handling costs associated with such mailing. GUPTA shall use its best
efforts to include on all its training schedule literature the GUPTA Course
schedules and appropriate contact information for all GUPTA Courses offered by
DISTRIBUTOR, and where appropriate include DISTRIBUTOR schedules in other
co-marketing materials.

10.   PRODUCT LICENSE: GUPTA shall provide DISTRIBUTOR with a single "Not For
Resale" copy of the required GUPTA Products. DISTRIBUTOR is authorized to copy
the Products to classroom workstations for the duration of GUPTA Authorized
Training Courses only and only for classroom instruction in the GUPTA Authorized

DISTRIBUTOR has acquired a separate license from GUPTA which expressly states
that DISTRIBUTOR may commercially use the GUPTA Products for external training
purposes.] The number of computers with this copied software shall at no time

fundamental importance to GUPTA that the Authorized Services be of the highest
quality. Accordingly, DISTRIBUTOR agrees that GUPTA will have the right to
determine in GUPTA's absolute discretion whether the Authorized Services meet
GUPTA high standards of quality and merchantability. In the event that GUPTA
determines that DISTRIBUTOR is no longer meeting acceptable levels of quality,
GUPTA agrees to so advise DISTRIBUTOR in writing and to provide DISTRIBUTOR with
a commercially reasonable time frame of no less than thirty (30) days to meet
such standards of quality. Notwithstanding the foregoing, GUPTA shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement with no period of correction if actual or
potential adverse publicity or other information, emanating from a third party
or parties, about ATC, the Authorized Services provided by ATC or the use of the
Marks by ATC causes GUPTA, in its sole judgment, to believe that its reputation
will be adversely affected.

13.   TRANSLATION: During the term of this Agreement, should DISTRIBUTOR elect

rights of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Marks licensed under this
agreement except to the extent of the license granted in this Agreement.
DISTRIBUTOR will not in any way identify itself as the owner of, or register or
attempt to register or contest the Marks or any GUPTA copyright or patent in
DISTRIBUTOR's name or any other name, or request or assist anyone else in so
doing. GUPTA reserves the right to (i) review, upon request, DISTRIBUTOR's use
of the Marks in advertising and other materials, and (ii) revoke DISTRIBUTOR's
