Re: Distribution Agreement by and between XxXxxx.xxx Corporation
and Sourcenext Corporation
(“Sourcenext”)
Dear Xxxxxxx:
You have provided me with a copy of a Distribution Agreement, dated June 29,
2001, entered into by and between McAfee and Sourcenext (the “Distribution Agreement”). A copy of the Distribution Agreement is attached to this letter. This letter is premised on the understanding that the attached Distribution Agreement
represents the entire agreement and understanding between McAfee and Sourcenext.
Based upon that understanding, Network
Associates, Inc. agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the (i) Technology Cross License Agreement entered into as of January 1, 1999 by and between Networks Associates Technology Corp, Network Associates, Inc., and
XxXxxx.xxx Corporation (“McAfee”) and (ii) the Reseller Agreement entered into as of March 31, 2001 by and between Networks Associates Inc., doing business as Network Associates, Inc. and McAfee, McAfee is hereby authorized to permit
Sourcenext to distribute the McAfee Services in Japan to OEMs and End Users as set forth in, and subject to the limitations set forth in the Distribution Agreement. You will act immediately to terminate the Distribution Agreement for any material
breach thereof, including, without limitation, any distribution of McAfee Services or NAI Products or services to Business Customers or the eight manufacturers listed on Exhibit B. For purposes of this letter, all capitalized terms used herein shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Distribution Agreement.
As part of the foregoing, we agree that neither NAI and NAKK
will distribute the McAfee Services to OEMs (other than those listed on Exhibit B) and End Users in Japan so long as the Distribution Agreement is in effect. We further agree that Sourcenext is permitted to continue to utilize the package design
provided and/or approved by NAKK under the Package Software Distribution Agreement entered into as of March 9, 1999 by and between NAKK and Distributor so long as the Distribution Agreement is in effect and for the period of time permitted under
Section 14.4 of the Distribution Agreement.
The foregoing agreements are further conditioned on the prior termination of the
Package Software Distribution Agreement referenced above.
McAfee is authorized to provide a copy of this letter to Sourcenext
Corporation in conjunction with the execution of the Distribution Agreement. In the event that the Distribution Agreement is not executed by both parties on or before June 30, 2001, the authorization granted herein to McAfee and the distribution
restriction agreed to above by NAI and NAKK shall become null and void.
