professional services/consulting firm or systems integrator. Such termination

      12 RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER

      If (i) the Supplier has delivered to Buyer the notice required under
Section 4.6, and (ii) the other party (or any of the other parties, if more than
one) to the proposed Change of Control Transaction has a substantial portion of
its business in the web application server product and service market and is not
engaged in business primarily as a professional services/consulting firm or
systems integrator, and provided that Buyer has not reduced the pool of Supplier
Personnel by more than 1/3 during the term of this agreement, the Supplier shall
give the Buyer the first opportunity to enter into such Change of Control
Transaction with the Supplier (the "Right of First Offer") in the manner
specified in this Section 12.

      (i) The First Offer Notice shall specify the proposed price to be paid,
the proposed terms of payment, and all other material terms and conditions upon
which the Supplier proposes to enter into the Change of Control Transaction (the
"First Offer Terms").

      (ii) The First Offer Notice shall constitute an irrevocable offer to the
Buyer to enter into such Change of Control Transaction with the Supplier on the
First Offer Terms or on terms specified by the Buyer which include cash to the
same extent as the First Offer Terms and in other respects are economically
equivalent to the First Offer Terms (the "Buyer's Equivalent Terms"). Within 14
calendar days after the receipt of the First Offer Notice, the Buyer shall give
notice (the "Exercise Notice") to the Supplier that (i) the Buyer has elected to
exercise its Right of First Offer and set forth the terms of such acquisition or
(ii) the Buyer does not wish to exercise its Right of First Offer. If the Buyer
does not deliver an Exercise Notice to the Supplier within 14 calendar days
after the receipt of the First Offer Notice, the Buyer shall be deemed to have
delivered on the 14th calendar day an Exercise Notice stating that the Buyer
does not wish to exercise its Right of First Offer.

      (iii) If the Buyer exercises the Right of First Offer, then the Supplier
shall enter into such Change of Control Transaction with the Buyer on the First
Offer Terms or, if such terms are specified by the Buyer, the Buyer's Equivalent
Terms. The closing of such Change of Control Transaction shall take place on the
second business day after the Buyer and the Supplier shall have obtained or made
all consents, approvals, orders, licenses, permits and authorizations of, and
registrations, declarations and filings with, any governmental authority or any
other person or entity required to be obtained or made in connection with the
consummation of such Change of Control Transaction, or on such other date as
shall be mutually acceptable to the Buyer and Supplier.

      (iv) In the event of a dispute between the Buyer and the Supplier
concerning the economic equivalence of the Buyer's Equivalent Terms and the
First Offer Terms, the determination of the equivalence of such terms shall be
made by an independent nationally recognized investment banking firm selected by
the Buyer and consented to by the Supplier, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. The Buyer and the Supplier shall cooperate fully in
assisting any such investment banking firm in making its determination. The
Buyer and Supplier shall each bear one-half of the cost of such investment
banking firm.

      (v) If the Buyer does not exercise the Right of First Offer with respect
to any Change of Control Transaction, the Supplier shall be entitled, within 90
calendar days following the expiration of the period for exercise of the Right
of First Offer, to consummate such Change of Control Transaction with any third
party upon terms and conditions no more favorable to such third party than the
First Offer Terms.
