                 Amendment No. 1 to Real Estate Promissory Note

         This Amendment No. 1 to the Real Estate Promissory Note (this
"Amendment") is made as of March 26, 2002, by and between Borland Software
Corporation, formerly known as Inprise Corporation ("Borland") and Doug Barre
("Employee") and Gre Barre (collectively, the "Borrower"). Certain capitalized
terms not otherwise defined herein are defined in the Original Note.

         WHEREAS, Borland and Borrower previously entered into a Real Estate
Promissory Note dated June 26, 2000 (the "Original Note") whereby the Borrower
promised to pay to Borland as the holder of the Note (the "Note Holder") the
unpaid and unforgiven Principal Amount of $1,000,000, together with all accrued,
unpaid and unforgiven interest, pursuant to the terms and conditions contained
in the Original Note;

         WHEREAS, the parties wish to amend certain terms of the Original Note;
and

         WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 22 of the Original Note, the Original Note
may not be modified except in a writing duly executed by Note Holder and
Borrower.

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises, the parties hereto,
intending to be legally bound, hereby covenant and agree as follows:

1. Amendment:  Note Holder and Borrower agree to amend the Original Note as
   ---------
follows:

         (a) Section 4 of the Original Note is hereby deleted in its entirety
             and replaced with the following:

                "Forgiveness of Indebtedness. Notwithstanding any of the
                 ---------------------------
         foregoing provisions of this Note, the Note Holder shall forgive the
         Principal Amount and accrued interest, then due and owing, in one lump
         sum amount on May 18, 2005, if on such date all the following
         conditions are met:

                (i)   Employee has, at all times since the date of this Note
         remained in the full-time employ of Borland; provided, however, that in
         the event that Employee's employment with Borland is terminated without
         Cause (as defined below) prior to the Due Date, the amount forgiven by
         Note Holder shall be pro rated to that amount representing the unpaid
         Principal Amount, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, for
         the period of time beginning from the date of the Original Note to the
         Employee's termination date; and

                (ii)  this Note has not been either (A) declared by the Note
         Holder to be immediately due and payable pursuant to its option to
         accelerate or (B) accelerated automatically by its terms."

         (b) Section 5 of the Original Note is hereby amended by deleting the
             first sentence in its entirety and replacing it with the following
             sentence:

<PAGE>

             "The unpaid and unforgiven Principal Amount from time to time shall
      bear interest at the rate of four and one-half percent (4.5%) per annum
      (the "Interest Rate"), and shall be computed on the basis of a 365 day
      year."

      (c) Section 6 of the Original Note is hereby deleted in its entirety and
          replaced with the following:

             "Acceleration. It is hereby expressly agreed that the entire
              ------------
      outstanding Principal Amount and accrued but unpaid interest owing under
      this Note shall become due and payable, at the option of the Note Holder,
      (i) upon the happening of any default in the performance of Borrower's
      obligation under the Deed of Trust, this Note, the First Deed of Trust (as
      defined in the Deed of Trust) or any note secured thereby, or other Loan
      Documents to which Borrower is a party, or upon the happening of an event
      by which, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, Note, First Deed of Trust
      or any note secured thereby, said principal sum may or shall become due
      and payable; (ii) upon the voluntary termination of Employee's employment
      with Borland for any reason; (iii) upon the termination of Employee's
      employment with Borland for Cause (as defined below); (iv) upon the death
      of Employee; or (v) if Borrower breaches any of the representations made
      thereby which are contained in this Note. Notwithstanding the forgoing, in
      the event that Employee's employment with Borland is terminated without
      Cause, the amount accelerated and due and payable to the Note Holder shall
      be pro rated to that amount representing the unpaid and unforgiven
      Principal Amount, together with unpaid and unforgiven interest, for the
      period of time beginning from the Employee's termination date through the
      Due Date.

      (d) Section 25 of the Original Note shall be amended by adding the
          following sentence at the end of the paragraph:

             "For the purposes of this Note, termination for "Cause" shall mean
      a termination of Employee based entirely on or in substantial part upon
      any of the following reasons: (i) Employee's engagement in an act of
      theft, embezzlement, misappropriation of funds or property, or fraud
      against, or with respect to the business of Borland, (ii) Employee's
      breach of any provisions of Employee's employment agreement, Borland's
      Employee Confidentiality Agreement or any other agreement between Borland
      and Employee, and if such breach is capable of being cured, the failure by
      Employee to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of written notice of
      such breach; (iii) if Employee is convicted of a felony that materially
      impairs Employee's performance of its duties to Borland; or (iv) as a
      result of Employee's reckless or willful misconduct, Employee commits any
      act that causes or knowingly fails to take reasonable or appropriate
      action to prevent, any material injury to the financial condition or
      business reputation of Borland."

2. Effective Date. The effective date of this Amendment shall be retroactive to
   --------------
