      or third parties licensing NetIQ related to such trademark or trade name
      usage. Tech Data will notify NetIQ of any infringement of which Tech Data

                    ARTICLE VII. TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION
                    --------------------------------------

7.1   Termination.
      -----------

      (a)  Termination With or Without Cause. Either party may terminate this
           ---------------------------------
      Agreement, with or without cause, upon giving the other party thirty (30)
      days prior written notice. In the event that either party materially or
      repeatedly defaults in the performance of any of its duties or obligations
      set forth in this Agreement, and
<PAGE>

     such default is not substantially cured within thirty (30) days after
     written notice is given to the defaulting party specifying the default,
     then the party not in default may, by giving written notice thereof to the
     defaulting party, terminate this Agreement or the applicable purchase order
     relating to such default as of the date specified in such notice of
     termination.

     (b)  Termination for Insolvency or Bankruptcy. Either party may immediately
          ----------------------------------------
     terminate this Agreement and any purchase orders by giving written notice
     to the other party in the event of (i) the liquidation or insolvency of the
     other party, (ii) the appointment of a receiver or similar officer for the
     other party, (iii) an assignment by the other party for the benefit of all
     or substantially all of its creditors, (iv) entry by the other party into
     an agreement for the composition, extension, or readjustment of all or
     substantially all of its obligations, or (v) the filing of a petition in
     bankruptcy by or against a party under any bankruptcy or debtors' law for
     its relief or reorganization which is not dismissed within ninety (90)
     days.

7.2  Rights Upon Termination or Expiration.
     -------------------------------------

     (a)  Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not affect NetIQ's
     right to be paid for undisputed invoices for Products already shipped and
     accepted by Tech Data or Tech Data's rights to any credits or payments owed
     or accrued to the date of termination or expiration. Tech Data's rights to
     credits upon termination or expiration shall include credits against which
     Tech Data would, but for termination or expiration, be required under this
     Agreement to apply to future purchases.

     (b)  NetIQ shall accept purchase orders from Tech Data for additional
     Products which Tech Data is contractually obligated to furnish to its
     Customers and does not have in its inventory upon the termination or
     expiration of this Agreement; provided Tech Data notifies NetIQ of any and
     all such transactions within sixty (60) days following the termination or
     expiration date.

     (c)  Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Tech Data shall
     discontinue holding itself out as a distributor of the Products.

7.3  Repurchase of Products Upon Termination or Expiration. Upon the effective
     -----------------------------------------------------
     date of termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, NetIQ
     agrees to repurchase all Products in Tech Data's inventory and Products
     which are returned to Tech Data by its Customers within one-hundred-eighty
     (180) days following the effective date of termination or expiration. NetIQ
     will repurchase such Products at the original purchase price, less any
     deductions for price protection. The repurchase price shall not be reduced
     by any deductions or offsets for early pay or prepay discounts. Such
     returns shall not reduce or offset any co-op payments or obligations owed
     to Tech Data. Within sixty (60) days following the effective date of
     termination or expiration, Tech Data shall return to NetIQ for repurchase
     all
<PAGE>

     Product held in Tech Data's inventory as of the effective date of
     termination or expiration. Additional returns shall be sent at reasonable
     intervals thereafter, provided all returns of Product by Tech Data under
     this Section 7.3 shall be shipped within one-hundred-eighty-five (185) days
     following the effective date of termination or expiration. NetIQ will issue
     an RMA to Tech Data for all such Products; provided, however, that NetIQ
     shall accept returned Products in accordance with this Section absent an
     RMA if NetIQ fails to issue said RMA within five (5) business days of Tech
     Data's request. NetIQ shall credit any outstanding balances owed to Tech
     Data. If such credit exceeds amounts due from Tech Data, NetIQ shall remit
     in the form of a check to Tech Data the excess within ten (10) business
     days of receipt of the Product. Customized Products shall not be eligible
     for repurchase pursuant to this Section.

7.4  Survival of Terms. Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any
     -----------------
     reason shall not release either party from any liabilities or obligations
     set forth in this Agreement which (i) the parties have expressly agreed
     shall survive any such termination or expiration, or (ii) remain to be
     performed or by their nature would be Intended to be applicable following
     any such termination or expiration. The termination or expiration of this
     Agreement shall not affect any of NetIQ's warranties, indemnification or
     obligations relating to returns, co-op advertising payments, credits or any
     other matters set forth in this Agreement that should survive termination
     or expiration in order to carry out their intended purpose, all of which
     shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

     both parties.

     In the Case of NetIQ:            In the Case of Tech Data:
     --------------------             ------------------------
     NetIQ Corporation                Tech Data Product Management, Inc.
     275 Saratoga Avenue              5350 Tech Data Drive
     Santa Clara, CA 95050            Clearwater, FL 33760
     Attn: John Mannion, Director,    Attn: Vice President-Marketing Operations
     North American Channel Sales
     cc: Legal Counsel                cc: Contracts Administration

     Either party may from time to time change its address for notification
     purposes by giving the other party written notice of the new address and
     the date upon which it will become effective.

8.8  Force Majeure. The term "Force Majeure" shall be defined to include fires
     -------------
     or other casualties or accidents, acts of God, severe weather conditions,
     strikes or labor disputes, war or other violence, or any law, order,
     proclamation, regulation, ordinance, demand or requirement of any
     governmental agency.
<PAGE>

      (a)  If a Force Majeure prevents a party from performance, such
      performance is excused so long as the excused party provides prompt
      written notice describing the Force Majeure and immediately continues
      performance once the Force Majeure condition is removed.

      (b)  If, due to a Force Majeure condition, the scheduled time of delivery
      or performance is or will be delayed for more than ninety (90) days after
      the scheduled date, the party not relying upon the Force Majeure condition
      may terminate, without liability to the other party, any purchase order or
      portion thereof covering the delayed Products.

8.9   Return Material Authorization Numbers. NetIQ is required to issue an RMA
      -------------------------------------
      to Tech Data within five (5) business days of Tech Data's request;
      however, if the RMA is not received by Tech Data within five (5) business
      days, NetIQ shall accept returned Products absent an RMA.

8.10  Credits to Tech Data. In the event any provision of this Agreement or any
      --------------------
      other agreement between Tech Data and NetIQ requires that NetIQ grant
      credits to Tech Data's account, and such credits are not received within
      thirty (30) days, all such credits shall become effective immediately upon
      notice to NetIQ. In such event, Tech Data shall be entitled to deduct any
      such credits from the next monies owed to NetIQ. In the event credits
      exceed any balances owed by Tech Data to NetIQ, NetIQ shall, upon request
      from Tech Data, issue a check payable to Tech Data within ten (10) days of
      such notice. Credits owed to Tech Data shall not be reduced by early
      payment or prepayment discounts. Tech Data shall have the right to set off
      against any amounts due to NetIQ under this Agreement or any invoices
      issued by NetIQ related to this Agreement any and all amounts due to Tech
      Data from NetIQ, whether or not arising under this Agreement.

8.11  Severability. If, but only to the extent that, any provision of this
      ------------
      Agreement is declared or found to be illegal, unenforceable or void, then
      both parties shall be relieved of all obligations arising under such
      provision, it being the intent and agreement of the parties that this
      Agreement shall be deemed amended by modifying such provision to the
      extent necessary to make it legal and enforceable while preserving its
      intent.

8.12  Waiver. A waiver by either of the parties of any covenants, conditions or
      ------
      agreements to be performed by the other party or any breach thereof shall
      not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach thereof or of any
      other covenant, condition or agreement herein contained.
<PAGE>

8.13  Remedies. All remedies set forth in this Agreement shall be cumulative and
      --------
      in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies available to either

      either party affecting the purchase or sale of Products hereunder.
