GILL, ) NETWORK ASSOCIATES, INC. and DOES 1- ) 25, inclusive. ) ) Defendants. ) _____________________________________ ) COMPLAINT FOR BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTIES Plaintiff, by his attorneys, alleges as follows: SUMMARY OF THE ACTION 1. This is a stockholder class action brought by plaintiff on behalf of the holders of McAfee.com Corporation ("McAfee.com" or the "Company") common stock against McAfee.com's Board of Directors and Network Associates, Inc. ("Network Associates") to enjoin the sale of McAfee.com to defendant Network Associates at a grossly inadequate and unfair price (the "Acquisition"). This action seeks equitable relief only and is brought pursuant to Delaware law. 2. McAfee.com provides personal computer management solutions. The Company's Web site allows consumers to secure, repair, update and upgrade their personal computers ("PCs") online. McAfee's applications allow consumers to check PCs for viruses, eliminate viruses, and repair PCs. 3. Network Associates supplies security and availability solutions for e-business. The company's products focus on network security and network management. Network Associates' products are marketed under the McAfee and Sniffer name. Network Associates also is a majority shareholder of McAfee.com, controlling approximately 75% of its shares. Moreover, the Company is further controlled by Network Associates through its control over board seats. In fact, defendants Richards and Samenuk, who control the remaining board members, are the CFO and COO and Chairman and CEO, respectively, of Network Associates. 4. In essence, Network Associates' proposed Acquisition is the product of a hopelessly flawed process that was designed to ensure the sale of McAfee.com to one buyer, and one buyer only, on terms preferential to Network Associates and to subvert the interests of plaintiff and the other public stockholders of McAfee.com. JURISDICTION AND VENUE 5. This Court has jurisdiction over each of the defendants because they conduct business in, reside in and/or are citizens of, California. Certain of the defendants are citizens of California, including Network Associates which has its principal place of business in this county. Likewise, certain of the individual defendants, including defendants Sampath, Schell and Richards, are citizens of California. The amount in controversy of plaintiff's claim exclusive of interest and costs is less COMPLAINT FOR BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTIES -1- than $75,000 as this action seeks equitable relief only. Venue is proper in this Court because defendants' wrongful acts arose in and emanated from this county. PARTIES AND OTHER ENTITIES 6. Plaintiff Justin Peyton is, and at all times relevant hereto was, a shareholder of McAfee.com. 7. McAfee.com provides personal computer management solutions. The Company's Web site allows consumers to secure, repair, update and upgrade their PCs online. McAfee's.com applications allow consumers to check PCs for viruses, eliminate viruses, and repair PCs. 8. Defendant Network Associates supplies security and availability solutions for e-business. The company's products focus on network security and network management. Network Associates' products are marketed under the McAfee and Sniffer name. Network Associates also is a majority shareholder of McAfee.com. 9. Defendant Stephen C. Richards ("Richards") is a director of the Company and CFO and COO of defendant Network Associates. 10. Defendant Srivats Sampath ("Sampath") is a director of the Company. 11. Defendant Richard M. Schell ("Schell") is a director of the Company. 12. Defendant George Samenuk ("Samenuk") is a director of the Company and Chairman and CEO of defendant Network Associates. 13. Defendant Frank C. Gill ("Gill") is a director of the Company. 14. The defendants named above in paragraphs 9-13 are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Individual Defendants." 15. The true names and capacities of defendants sued herein under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 474 as Does 1-25, inclusive, are presently not known to plaintiff, who therefore sues these defendants by such fictitious names. Plaintiff will seek to amend this Complaint and include these Doe defendants' true names and capacities when they are ascertained. Each of the fictitiously named defendants is responsible in some manner for the conduct alleged herein and for the injuries suffered by the Class. COMPLAINT FOR BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTIES -2- THE INDIVIDUAL DEFENDANTS' FIDUCIARY DUTIES 16. In any situation where the directors of a publicly traded corporation undertake a transaction that will result in either (i) a change in corporate control, or (ii) a break-up of the corporation's assets, the directors have an affirmative fiduciary obligation to obtain the highest value reasonably available for the corporation's shareholders, and if such transaction will result in a change of corporate control, the shareholders are entitled to receive a significant premium. To diligently comply with these duties, the directors may not take any action that: (a) adversely affects the value provided to the corporation's shareholders; (b) will discourage or inhibit alternative offers to purchase control of the corporation or its assets; (c) contractually prohibits them from complying with their fiduciary duties; (d) will otherwise adversely affect their duty to search and secure the best value reasonably available under the circumstances for the corporation's shareholders; and/or (e) will provide the directors with preferential treatment at the expense of, or separate from, the public shareholders. 17. In accordance with their duties of loyalty and good faith, the defendants, as directors and/or officers of McAfee.com, are obligated to refrain from: (a) participating in any transaction where the directors' or officers' loyalties are divided; (b) participating in any transaction where the directors or officers receive or are entitled to receive a personal financial benefit not equally shared by the public shareholders of the corporation; and/or (c) unjustly enriching themselves at the expense or to the detriment of the public shareholders. 18. Because the Individual Defendants are in the process of breaching their duties of loyalty, good faith and independence in connection with the proposed Acquisition, the burden of proving the inherent or entire fairness of the proposed Acquisition, including all aspects of its COMPLAINT FOR BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTIES -3- negotiation, structure, price and terms, is placed upon the Individual Defendants as a matter of Delaware law. CLASS ACTION ALLEGATIONS 19. Plaintiff brings this action on his own behalf and as a class action pursuant to Section 382 of the California Code of Civil Procedure on behalf of all holders of McAfee.com stock who are being and will be harmed by defendants' actions described below (the "Class"). Excluded from the Class are defendants herein and any person, firm, trust, corporation, or other entity related to or affiliated with any defendants. 20. This action is properly maintainable as a class action. 21. The Class is so numerous that joinder of all members is impracticable. According to McAfee.com's Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings, there were more than 11.9 million shares of McAfee.com common stock outstanding as April 30, 2002. 22. There are questions of law and fact which are common to the Class and which predominate over questions affecting any individual Class member. The common questions include, inter alia, the following: (a) whether defendants have breached their fiduciary duties of undivided loyalty, independence or due care with respect to plaintiff and the other members of the Class in connection with the Acquisition; (b) whether the Individual Defendants are engaging in self-dealing in connection with the Acquisition; (c) whether the Individual Defendants have breached their fiduciary duty to secure and obtain the best price reasonable under the circumstances for the benefit of plaintiff and the other members of the Class in connection with the Acquisition; (d) whether the Individual Defendants are unjustly enriching themselves and other insiders or affiliates of McAfee.com; (e) whether defendants have breached any of their other fiduciary duties to plaintiff and the other members of the Class in connection with the Acquisition, including the duties of good faith, diligence, honesty and fair dealing; COMPLAINT FOR BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTIES -4- (f) whether the defendants, in bad faith and for improper motives, have impeded or erected barriers to discourage other offers for the Company or its assets; and (g) whether plaintiff and the other members of the Class would suffer irreparable injury were the transactions complained of herein consummated. 23. Plaintiff's claims are typical of the claims of the other members of the Class and plaintiff does not have any interests adverse to the Class. 24. Plaintiff is an adequate representative of the Class, has retained competent counsel experienced in litigation of this nature and will fairly and adequately protect the interests of the Class. 25. The prosecution of separate actions by individual members of the Class would create a risk of inconsistent or varying adjudications with respect to individual members of the Class which would establish incompatible standards of conduct for the party opposing the Class. 26. Plaintiff anticipates that there will be no difficulty in the management of this litigation. A class action is superior to other available methods for the fair and efficient adjudication of this controversy. 27. Defendants have acted on grounds generally applicable to the Class with respect to the matters complained of herein, thereby making appropriate the relief sought herein with respect to the Class as a whole. BACKGROUND TO THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION 28. McAfee.com provides PC management solutions. The Company's Web site allows consumers to secure, repair, update and upgrade their PCs online. McAfee.com's applications allow consumers to check PCs for viruses, eliminate viruses, and repair PCs. 29. On January 16, 2002, the Company issued a press release entitled, "McAfee.com Announces Record Year 2001 Revenues of $62.0 Million up 32% from 2000; Pro-Forma Earnings Per Share of $0.14; Fourth Quarter 2001 Revenues of $18.6 Million; Pro-Forma Earnings Per Share Of $0.09," which stated in part: McAfee.com, a leading provider of Web security services, today announced operating results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2001 was $18.6 million up $6.5 million COMPLAINT FOR BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTIES -5- from the same period last year, representing year-over-year revenue growth of 54 percent. Fourth quarter revenues increased sequentially 15 percent over third quarter revenues of $16.2 million. Pro-forma net income for the quarter, excluding non-cash charges related to stock-based compensation and the amortization of intangibles, was $4.2 million or $0.09 per share. Net income for the quarter, including such non-cash charges was $904,000 or $0.02 per share. Revenue for fiscal year 2001 was $62.0 million, as compared to $46.9 million a year ago, representing annual revenue growth of 32 percent. 30. On March 17, 2002, the Company issued a press release entitled, "McAfee.com Receives Notification of a Buyout Proposal from Network Associates," which stated in part: McAfee.com . . . today announced that it received a letter from Network Associates, Inc. . . . on Saturday afternoon stating Network Associates' intention to commence an exchange offer for all of the outstanding publicly held shares of the Class A common stock of McAfee.com. Network Associates stated that it would offer McAfee.com Class A common stockholders 0.675 of a share of Network Associates common stock in exchange for each outstanding share of McAfee.com Class A common stock. Network Associates stated that the offer will be made directly to McAfee.com's stockholders and that Network Associates is not seeking approval of the offer from McAfee.com's board of directors. Network Associates stated that it intends to file its offering materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to formally commence its exchange offer on or about March 25, 2002. Network Associates stated that the offer is conditioned on the tender of a sufficient number of shares of McAfee.com Class A common stock such that, after the offer is completed, Network Associates would own at least 90% of all outstanding shares of McAfee.com common stock. Network Associates stated that it will acquire any shares not purchased in the exchange offer through a "short form" merger and that, if the merger takes place, the consideration given to the remaining McAfee.com Class A common stockholders would be the same as the consideration received by the tendering stockholders in the exchange offer, subject to the exercise of appraisal rights, if any. As of February 14, 2002, there were approximately 11,742,901 shares of McAfee.com Class A common stock outstanding and 36,000,000 shares of McAfee.com Class B common stock outstanding, which are convertible into McAfee.com Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. Based on McAfee.com's records and publicly filed documents, as of such date, Network Associates held all of the shares of McAfee.com Class B common stock outstanding and none of the shares of McAfee.com Class A common stock outstanding. 31. Following the announcement, the investor community expressed outrage over the defendants' actions. In response, the Company's stock traded above the offered price. Thus, in essence, defendants were actually trying to buy the Company at a price less than the Company's then current price. 32. On April 10, 2002, Network Associates increased its offer to approximately $17.28 per share. COMPLAINT FOR BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTIES -6- 33. Then, on April 25, 2002, Network Associates announced that its accounting for the prior years had been false - sending the Company's shares into a freefall. The attempted squeeze-out of McAfee.com was terminated shortly thereafter. 34. Then, on July 1, 2002, Network Associates issued a press release entitled, "Network Associates Announces Plans to Acquire Publicly Held Shares of McAfee.com." The press release stated in part: Network Associates, Inc. today announced that it plans to commence an exchange offer for all outstanding publicly held shares of Class A common stock of McAfee.com. Network Associates currently owns approximately 75% of McAfee.com. McAfee.com stockholders will be offered 0.78 of a share of Network Associates common stock in a tax-free exchange for each outstanding share of McAfee.com Class A common stock. In addition to having the same exchange ratio as that recommended by the special committee of the outside and independent McAfee.com directors in connection with Network Associates' previous exchange offer, the other terms of the exchange offer are expected to be the same, with limited modifications to the conditions of the offer. The previous exchange offer was withdrawn in April 2002 after the Company determined to restate certain prior period financial statements. On June 28, 2002, Network Associates filed its restated financial statements. Operating results for 2001 and Q1 2002 were not impacted by the restatement. "With the filing of our restatements behind us, we believe it is the right time to move forward with the recombination of McAfee.com into the Network Associates family of world-class anti-virus and security solutions," said George Samenuk, chairman and CEO of Network Associates. Network Associates plans to file an exchange offer with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about July 2, 2002, through which Network Associates would acquire all of the outstanding publicly held shares of McAfee.com Class A common stock. The offer will be conditioned on the tender of a sufficient number of McAfee.com Class A shares such that, after the offer is completed, Network Associates would own at least 90% of all outstanding shares of McAfee.com common stock as well as on certain other conditions. While the minimum condition may be waived, in no event will the offer be completed if less than a majority of the minority (McAfee.com stockholders other than Network Associates) tender their shares in the offer. If the minimum condition and the other conditions to the offer are met and the offer is completed, Network Associates will effect a "short-form" merger of McAfee.com with a Network Associates subsidiary. In the merger, each remaining McAfee.com Class A share will be exchanged (unless the holders perfect appraisal rights under Delaware law) into the same portion of a share of Network Associates common stock as is paid in the exchange offer. COMPLAINT FOR BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTIES -7- FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION FOR BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTIES AGAINST THE INDIVIDUAL DEFENDANTS 35. Plaintiff repeats and realleges each allegation set forth herein. 36. The defendants have breached their fiduciary duties of care, loyalty, candor and independence owed to the public shareholders of McAfee.com and have acted to put their personal interests ahead of the interests of McAfee.com shareholders. 37. By the acts, transactions and courses of conduct alleged herein, the Individual Defendants, individually, and acting as a part of a common plan, are attempting to unfairly deprive plaintiff and other members of the Class of the true value of their investment in McAfee.com. 38. The Individual Defendants have violated their fiduciary duties by entering into a transaction with Network Associates without regard to the fairness of the transaction to McAfee.com shareholders. Defendant Network Associates aided and abetted the other defendants' breaches of fiduciary duties owed to plaintiff and the other holders of McAfee.com stock. 39. As demonstrated by the allegations above, the defendant directors failed to exercise the care required, and breached their duties of loyalty, good faith, candor and independence owed to the shareholders of McAfee.com because, among other reasons: (a) they failed to take steps to maximize the value of McAfee.com to its public shareholders and they took steps to avoid competitive bidding, to cap the price of McAfee.com stock and to give Network Associates an unfair advantage, by, among other things, failing to solicit other potential acquirors or alternative transactions; (b) they failed to properly value McAfee.com; and (c) they ignored or did not protect against the numerous conflicts of interest resulting from the directors' own interrelationships or connection with the Acquisition. 40. Because the Individual Defendants dominate and control the business and corporate affairs of McAfee.com, and are in possession of private corporate information concerning McAfee.com's assets, business and future prospects, there exists an imbalance and disparity of knowledge and economic power between them and the public shareholders of McAfee.com which COMPLAINT FOR BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTIES - 8 - makes it inherently unfair for them to pursue any proposed transaction wherein they will reap disproportionate benefits to the exclusion of maximizing stockholder value. 41. By reason of the foregoing acts, practices and course of conduct, the defendants have failed to exercise ordinary care and diligence in the exercise of their fiduciary obligations toward plaintiff and other members of the Class. 42. As a result of the actions of defendants, plaintiff and the Class will suffer irreparable injury in that they have not and will not receive their fair portion of the value of McAfee.com's assets and businesses and have been and will be prevented from obtaining a fair price for their common stock. 43. Unless enjoined by this Court, the defendants will continue to breach their fiduciary duties owed to plaintiff and the Class, and may consummate the proposed Acquisition which will exclude the Class from its fair share of McAfee.com's valuable assets and businesses, and/or benefit defendants in the unfair manner complained of herein, all to the irreparable harm of the Class, as aforesaid. 44. Defendants are engaging in self-dealing, are not acting in good faith toward plaintiff and the other members of the Class, and have breached and are breaching their fiduciary duties to the members of the Class. 45. As a result of the defendants' unlawful actions, plaintiff and the other members of the Class will be irreparably harmed in that they will not receive their fair portion of the value of McAfee.com's assets and business and will be prevented from obtaining the real value of their equity ownership of the Company. Unless the proposed Acquisition is enjoined by the Court, defendants will continue to breach their fiduciary duties owed to plaintiff and the members of the Class, will not engage in arm's-length negotiations on the Acquisition terms, and will not supply to McAfee.com's minority stockholders sufficient information to enable them to cast informed votes on the proposed Acquisition and may consummate the proposed Acquisition, all to the irreparable harm of the members of the Class. COMPLAINT FOR BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTIES -9- 46. Plaintiff and the members of the Class have no adequate remedy at law. Only through the exercise of this Court's equitable powers can plaintiff and the Class be fully protected from the immediate and irreparable injury which defendants' actions threaten to inflict. SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION AIDING AND ABETTING BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY AGAINST NETWORK ASSOCIATES 47. Plaintiff repeats and alleges each allegation set forth above. 48. Network Associates actively aided and abetted the Individual Defendants' breaches of their fiduciary duties owed to plaintiff and the Class by knowingly participating in the Individual Defendants' breaches of their duties of loyalty, candor and care owed to plaintiff and the other McAfee.com stockholders. Network Associates aided and abetted the Individual Defendants' breaches of fiduciary duties by structuring the Acquisition on terms preferential to Network Associates which subvert the interests of plaintiff and other public stockholders of McAfee.com. PRAYER FOR RELIEF WHEREFORE, plaintiff demands preliminary and permanent injunctive relief in his favor and in favor of the Class and against defendants as follows: A. Declaring that this action is properly maintainable as a class action; B. Declaring and decreeing that the Acquisition agreement was entered into in breach of the fiduciary duties of the defendants and is therefore unlawful and unenforceable; C. Enjoining defendants, their agents, counsel, employees and all persons acting in concert with them from consummating the Acquisition, unless and until the Company adopts and implements a procedure or process to obtain the highest possible price for shareholders; D. Directing the Individual Defendants to exercise their fiduciary duties to obtain a transaction which is in the best interests of McAfee.com's shareholders until the process for the sale or auction of the Company is completed and the highest possible price is obtained; E. Rescinding, to the extent already implemented, the Acquisition or any of the terms thereof; F. Imposition of a constructive trust, in favor of plaintiff, upon any benefits improperly received by defendants as a result of their wrongful conduct; COMPLAINT FOR BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTIES -10- G. Awarding plaintiff the costs and disbursements of this action, including reasonable attorneys' and experts' fees; and H. Granting such other further equitable relief as this Court may deem just and proper. DATED: July 1, 2002 MILBERG WEISS BERSHAD HYNES & LERACH LLP WILLIAM S. LERACH DARREN J. ROBBINS /s/ DARREN J.

(California Rules of Court, Rule 227 and Local Rule 1.1N) Rev. 01/02 ng - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SANTA CLARA COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION INFORMATION SHEET - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Many cases can be resolved to the satisfaction of all parties without the necessity of traditional litigation, which can be expensive, time consuming, and stressful. The Court finds that it is in the best interests of the parties that they participate in alternatives to traditional litigation, including arbitration, mediation, neutral evaluation, special masters and referees, and settlement conferences. Therefore, all matters shall be referred to an appropriate form of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) before they are set for trial, unless there is good cause to dispense with the ADR requirement. WHAT IS ADR? ADR is the general term for a wide variety of dispute resolution processes that are alternatives to litigation. Types of ADR processes include mediation, arbitration, neutral evaluation, special masters and referees, and settlement conferences, among others forms. What are the advantages of choosing ADR instead of litigation? ADR can have a number of advantages over litigation: o ADR can save time. A dispute can be resolved in a matter of months, or even weeks, while litigation can take years. o ADR can save money. Attorneys fees, court costs, and expert fees can be reduced or avoided altogether. o ADR provides more participation. Parties have more opportunities with ADR to express their interests and concerns, instead of focusing exclusively on legal rights. o ADR provides more control and flexibility. Parties can choose the ADR process that is most likely to bring a satisfactory resolution to their dispute. o ADR can reduce stress. ADR encourages cooperation and communication, while discouraging the adversarial atmosphere of litigation. Surveys of parties who have participated in an ADR process have found much greater satisfaction than with parties who have gone through litigation. What are the main forms of ADR offered by the Court? o Mediation is an informal, confidential process in which a neutral party (the mediator) assists the parties in understanding their own interests, the interests of the other parties, and the practical and legal realities they all face. The mediator then helps the parties to explore options and arrive at a mutually acceptable resolution of the dispute. The mediator does not decide the dispute. The parties do. o Mediation may be appropriate when: o The parties want a nonadversary procedure o The parties have a continuing business or personal relationship o Communication problems are interfering with a resolution o There is an emotional element involved o The parties are interested in an injunction, consent decree, or other form of equitable relief -over-
