possible, to the specifications agreed upon by the parties, (3) if the parties
mutually agree, the Licensee may undertake to replace or modify the licensed
product so as not to infringe such third party's Intellectual Property Right and
such work shall be reimbursed by Licensor at a mutually agreeable fee structure.
If Licensor is unable to achieve either of the foregoing within thirty (30) days
(or such longer period as determined by the Licensee in good faith) after a
determination by a court of competent jurisdiction of infringement or the entry
of an injunction, as applicable, Licensor shall promptly refund to the Licensee
the license fees paid for any licensed product the use of which is legally
prohibited.

Such examination shall be made during normal business hours at the principal
place of business of McAfee.com. In the event that any such examination reveals,
for any period, an underpayment of royalties to NAI by an amount greater than
five percent (5%) of the amount actually due NAI, McAfee.com shall promptly
reimburse NAI for all costs and expenses associated with such examination.
6.5 Support. Subject to NAI's then-current fees (but in no event
greater than NAI's allocated cost plus ten percent), NAI or its reasonably
acceptable designee will provide to End Users all front-line and back-line
technical support for NAI Licensed Products (including beta releases) and
McAfee.com Licensed Products distributed by McAfee.com hereunder, including
assistance with installation, configuration and media. The support terms which
NAI, as of the Effective Date, expects to use are as
<PAGE> 12
set forth in Exhibit E. Such terms may only be revised as NAI and McAfee.com
mutually deem appropriate. McAfee.com agrees that any user documentation
prepared by McAfee.com for NAI Licensed Products and McAfee.com Licensed
Products will clearly and conspicuously state that End Users should call NAI or
its designee for technical support for the NAI Licensed Products and the
McAfee.com Licensed Products. In addition, NAI will use all reasonable efforts
to negotiate with its third party provider(s) of back end support to offer such
support to McAfee.com under the existing contract(s) with such third party
provider(s). If NAI is unable to so include McAfee.com then McAfee.com shall
procure its own back-end support with respect to the subject matter of this
agreement. NAI or its designee (which may be McAfee.com, upon agreement by the
parties) will provide to End Users all front-line and back-line technical
support for the NAI Licensed Products other than those distributed by McAfee.com
hereunder, including assistance with installation, configuration and media.
THIRD PARTY RIGHTS; ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACTS
7.1 Third Party Rights.
(a) Each party shall use reasonable efforts to grant to the
other, at the other's sole cost, a sublicense to the other party under the
licensing party's rights in any rights such party obtains with respect to third
party products during the Term (the "Third Party Rights"). In the event the
licensing party is unable for any reason to grant the other party such a
sublicense, including without limitation restrictions on sublicensing or
disapproval by the third party licensor, the licensing party shall use
reasonable efforts to assist the other party, at the other party's sole cost, to
acquire a non-exclusive license to use the Third Party Rights from the third
party licensor of such rights.
(b) All of the Third Party Rights that are sublicensed to a
party hereunder will be subject to payment by such party of a portion of the
license fees and/or royalty obligations paid or payable thereunder as reasonably
agreed upon by the parties in their good faith business judgment. The
sublicensee will be solely responsible for any sublicense fee imposed by the
owner of such Third Party Rights as a condition to consent to such sublicense;
provided that the sublicensee will have the right to advance notification of
such fee and the right to decline such sublicense.

otherwise disclose and shall not use for any purpose except for the purposes
contemplated by this Agreement any Confidential Information furnished to it by
the disclosing party hereto, except that to the extent that it can be

governmental regulations including but not limited to the Securities Act of 1933
and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or exercising its rights hereunder to
develop or commercialize Licensed Products, provided that if a party is required
to make any such disclosure of another party's confidential information, other
than pursuant to a confidentiality agreement, it will give reasonable advance
notice to the latter party of such disclosure and, will use its best reasonable
efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information prior to its
disclosure (whether through protective orders or otherwise). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, disclosures of Source Code licensed from the other party under demand
from a court ordered subpoena shall be permitted provided such disclosure is
made under a "For Your Eyes Only" disclosure only to attorneys or members of the
court and specifically not disclosed to competitors of NAI or McAfee.com.

13.2 Dispute Review; Mediation.
<PAGE> 17
a) Level 1 Dispute Review. Upon the written request of either
party, NAI and McAfee.com shall each appoint a designated
representative whose task shall be to meet the other party's
designated representative (by conference telephone call or in
person at a mutually agreeable site) in an endeavor to resolve
any Dispute ("Level 1 Dispute Review"). The designated
representatives shall meet as often as the parties reasonably
deem necessary to discuss the Dispute and negotiate in good
faith in an effort to resolve the Dispute without the necessity
of any formal proceeding.
b) Level 2 Dispute Review. If resolution of the Dispute cannot be
resolved within the earlier of (a) fifteen (15) days of the
first Level 1 Dispute Review meeting and (b) such time as when
either party gives the other notice of an impasse ("Level 1
Dispute Termination Date"), a chief executive officer (or a

telephone call or in person at a mutually agreeable site) within
72 hours after the Level 1 Dispute Termination Date for the
purpose of resolving such unresolved Dispute ("Level 2 Dispute
Review").
13.3 Submission of Dispute to Mediation. If the parties are unable to
resolve the Dispute within a reasonable period after commencement of the Level 2
Dispute Review, the parties shall give each other notice of the existence of a
continuing impasse (the date on which both parties are in receipt of such
notice, the "Level 2 Dispute Termination Date") and shall thereafter immediately
submit the Dispute to mediation in accordance with the Commercial Mediation
Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and shall bear equally the
costs of the mediation. The parties will act in good faith to jointly appoint a
mutually acceptable mediator, seeking assistance in such regard from the AAA
within fifteen (15) days of the Level 2 Termination Date. The parties agree to
participate in good faith in the mediation and negotiations related thereto for
a period of thirty (30) days commencing with the selection of the mediator and
any extension of such period as mutually agreed to by the parties.
13.4 Arbitration.
a) If the parties cannot agree to a mediator within fifteen (15)
days of the Level 2 Dispute Termination Date or if the Dispute
is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the beginning of
the mediation and any extension of such periods as mutually
agreed to by the parties, the Dispute shall be submitted to, and
finally determined by, binding arbitration in accordance with
the following provisions of this Section 13.4, regardless of the
amount in controversy or whether such Dispute would otherwise be
considered justiciable or ripe for resolution by a court or
arbitration panel.
b) Any such arbitration shall be conducted by the AAA in accordance
with its current Commercial Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules"),
except to the extent that the AAA Rules conflict with the
provisions of this Agreement in which event the provisions of
this Agreement shall control.
c) The arbitration panel (the "Panel") shall consist of three
neutral arbitrators ("Arbitrators"), each of whom shall be an
attorney having eight (8) or more years experience in the
primary area of law as to which the Dispute relates, and shall
be appointed in accordance with the AAA Rules ("Basic
Qualifications").
<PAGE> 18
d) Should an Arbitrator refuse or be unable to proceed with
arbitration proceedings as called for by this Section 14, a
substitute Arbitrator possessing the Basic Qualifications shall
be appointed by the AAA. If an Arbitrator is replaced after the
arbitration hearing has commenced, then a rehearing shall take
place in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and
the AAA Rules.
e) The arbitration shall be conducted in San Francisco, CA;
provided that the Panel may from time to time convene, carry on
hearings, inspect property or documents and take evidence at any
location which the Panel deems appropriate.
f) The Panel may in its discretion order a pre-exchange of
information including production of documents, exchange of
summaries of testimony or exchange of statements of position and
shall schedule promptly all discovery and other procedural steps
and otherwise assume case management initiative and control to
effect an efficient and expeditious resolution of the Dispute.
g) At any oral hearing of evidence in connection with any
arbitration conducted pursuant to this Agreement, each party and
its legal counsel shall have the right to examine its witnesses
and to cross-examine the witnesses of the other party. No
testimony of any witness shall be presented in written form
unless the opposing parties shall have the opportunity to
cross-examine such witness, except as the parties otherwise
agree in writing and except under extraordinary circumstances
where, in the opinion of the Panel, the interests of justice
require a different procedure.
h) Within fifteen (15) days after the closing of the arbitration
hearing, the Panel shall prepare and distribute to the parties a
written award, setting forth the Panel's findings of facts and
conclusions of law relating to the Dispute, including the
reasons for the giving or denial of any requested remedy or
relief. The Panel shall have the authority to award any remedy
or relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could order or
grant, and shall award interest on any monetary award from the
date that the loss or expense was incurred by the successful
party. In addition, the Panel shall have the authority to decide
issues relating to the interpretation, meaning or performance of
this Agreement, any agreement, certificate or other document
referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith, or the
relationships of the parties hereunder or thereunder, even if
such decision would constitute an advisory opinion in a court
proceeding or if the issues would otherwise not be ripe for
resolution in a court proceeding, and any such decision shall
bind the parties in their performance of this Agreement and such
other documents.
i) Except as necessary in court proceedings to enforce this
arbitration provision or an award rendered hereunder, or to
obtain interim relief, or in connection with an initial public
offering or securities filing, or to legal counsel of the
parties, no party nor any arbitrator shall disclose the
existence, content or results of any arbitration conducted
hereunder without the prior written consent of the other
parties.
j) To the extent that the relief or remedy granted in an award
rendered by the Panel is relief or a remedy on which a court
could enter judgment, a judgment upon the award rendered by the
Panel may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
Otherwise, the award shall be binding on the parties in
connection with their obligations under this Agreement and in
any subsequent arbitration or judicial proceedings among any of
the parties.
<PAGE> 19
k) The parties agree to share equally the cost of any arbitration,
including the administrative fee, the compensation of the
arbitrators and the costs of any neutral witnesses or proof
produced at the direct request of the Panel.
l) Notwithstanding the choice of law provision set forth in Section
14.1, The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section Section
Sections 1 to 14, except as modified hereby, shall govern the
enforcement of this Agreement.
13.5 Recourse to Courts and Other Remedies. Notwithstanding the
Dispute resolution procedures contained in this Agreement, any party may apply
to any court having jurisdiction (a) to enforce this Agreement to arbitrate, (b)
to seek provisional injunctive relief so as to maintain the status quo until the
arbitration award is rendered or the Dispute is otherwise resolved, (c) to avoid
the expiration of any applicable limitation period, (d) to preserve a superior
position with respect to other creditors, or (e) to challenge or vacate any
final judgment, award or decision of the Panel that does not comport with the
express provisions of this Agreement.

such use is permitted in the applicable price list or product packaging for the
Software. A separate license is required for each Client Device or "seat" that
may connect to the Server at any time, regardless of whether such licensed
Client Devices or seats are concurrently connected to, accessing or using the
Software. Use of software or hardware that reduces the number of Client Devices
or seats directly accessing or utilizing the Software (e.g., "multiplexing" or
"pooling" software or hardware) does not reduce the number of licenses required
(i.e., the required number of licenses would equal the number of distinct inputs
to the multiplexing or pooling software or hardware "front end"). If the number
of Client Devices or seats that can connect to the Software can exceed the
number of licenses you have obtained, then you must have a reasonable mechanism
in place to ensure that your use of the Software does not exceed the use limits
specified for the licenses you have obtained. This license authorizes you to
make or download one copy of the Documentation for each Client Device or seat
that is licensed, provided that each such copy contains all of the
Documentation's proprietary notices.
c. Volume Licenses. If the Software is licensed with volume license terms
specified in the applicable price list or product packaging for the Software,
you may make, use and install as many additional copies of the Software on the
number of Client Devices as the volume license authorizes. You must have a
reasonable mechanism in place to ensure that the number of Client Devices on
which the Software has been installed does not exceed the number of licenses you
have obtained. This license authorizes you to make or download one copy of the
Documentation for each additional copy authorized by the volume license,
provided that each such copy contains all of the Documentation's proprietary
notices.
2. Term. This Agreement is effective for an unlimited duration unless and
until earlier terminated as set forth herein. This Agreement will terminate
automatically if you fail to comply with any of the limitations or other
requirements described herein. Upon any termination or expiration of this
Agreement, you must destroy all copies of the Software and the Documentation.
3. Updates. For the time period specified in the applicable price list or
product packaging for the Software you are entitled to download revisions or
updates to the Software when and as McAfee publishes them via its electronic
bulletin board system, website or through other online services. For a period of
ninety (90) days from the date of the original purchase of the Software, you are
entitled to download one (1) revision or upgrade to the Software when and as
McAfee publishes it via its electronic bulletin board system, website or through
other online services. After the specified time period, you have no further
rights to receive any revisions or upgrades without purchase of a new license or
annual upgrade plan to the Software.
4. Ownership Rights. The Software is protected by United States copyright laws
and international treaty provisions. McAfee and its suppliers own and retain all
right, title and interest in and to the Software, including all copyrights,
patents, trade secret rights, trademarks and other intellectual property rights
therein. Your possession, installation, or use of the Software does not transfer
to you any title to the intellectual property in the Software, and you will not
acquire any rights to the Software except as expressly set forth in this
Agreement. All copies of the Software and Documentation made hereunder must
contain the same proprietary notices that appear on and in the Software and
Documentation.
5. Restrictions. You may not rent, lease, loan or resell the Software. You may
not permit third parties to benefit from the use or functionality of the
Software via a timesharing, service bureau or other arrangement, except to the
extent such use is specified in the applicable list price or product packaging
for the Software. You may not transfer any of the rights granted to you under
this Agreement. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the
Software, except to the extent the foregoing restriction is expressly prohibited
by applicable law. You may not modify, or create derivative works based upon,
the Software in whole or in part. You may not copy the Software or Documentation
except as expressly permitted in Section 1 above. You may not remove any
proprietary notices or labels on the Software. All rights not expressly set
forth hereunder are reserved by McAfee. McAfee reserves the right to
periodically conduct audits upon advance written notice to verify compliance
with the terms of this Agreement.
6. Warranty and Disclaimer.
a. Limited Warranty. McAfee warrants that for sixty (60) days from the
date of original purchase the media (e.g., diskettes) on which the Software is
contained will be free from defects in materials and workmanship.
b. Customer Remedies. McAfee's and its suppliers' entire liability and
your exclusive remedy for any breach of the foregoing warranty shall be, at
McAfee's option, either (i) return of the purchase price paid for the license,
if any, or (ii) replacement of the defective media in which the Software is
contained. You must return the defective media to McAfee at your expense with a
copy of your receipt. This limited warranty is void if the defect has resulted
from accident, abuse, or misapplication. Any replacement media will be warranted
for the remainder of the original warranty period. Outside the United States,
this remedy is not available to the extent McAfee is subject to restrictions
under United States export control laws and regulations.

AND ALL OTHER DAMAGES OR LOSSES. IN NO EVENT WILL MCAFEE BE LIABLE FOR ANY
DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF THE LIST PRICE MCAFEE CHARGES FOR A LICENSE TO THE
SOFTWARE, EVEN IF MCAFEE SHALL HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR
PERSONAL INJURY TO THE EXTENT THAT APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION.
FURTHERMORE, SOME STATES AND JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR
LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS LIMITATION AND
EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. The foregoing provisions shall be enforceable to
