extended Offer Period is discontinued as set forth below. The maximum duration
of the Offer Period (including any extended Offer Period) is ten (10) weeks.
However, if the Conditions to Completion (as defined below) have not been

below) may extend beyond ten (10) weeks.

The Offeror may discontinue any extended Offer Period should all the Conditions
to Completion be fulfilled or waived by the Offeror before the expiry of the
extended Offer Period and execute the sale and purchase of the Shares and Option
Rights validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in accordance with sections
1.9 and 1.10 below. Should the Offeror discontinue the extended Offer Period,
the Offeror will announce its decision thereon as soon as possible after such
decision has been made and in any case at least two (2) weeks before the expiry
of the extended Offer Period to be discontinued. If the Offeror discontinues the
extended Offer Period, the extended Offer Period will expire on such earlier
date and at the time indicated in such announcement made by the Offeror.

The Offeror also reserves the right to extend the Offer Period in connection

(v) any Effect attributable to (x) an act or omission carried out or omitted by
the Offeror in connection with the Tender Offer or (y) the Tender Offer (for the

material subsidiaries relating thereto).

For the sake of clarity, under no circumstances shall any Material Adverse
Change be deemed to exist, to the extent the risks, facts, matters,
circumstances, developments, occurrences, changes, effects or events causing the
claimed Material Adverse Change have been publicly disclosed (including in any
publicly disclosed annual or interim reports) or otherwise disclosed in the due
diligence information provided to the Offeror and McAfee by or on behalf of the
Company, in either case, prior to the date of the signing of the Combination
Agreement.

The Offeror reserves the right to waive, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, any of the Conditions to Completion that have not been satisfied.

Obligation to increase the Tender Offer or to pay compensation

The Offeror reserves the right to acquire Shares also in public trading on
NASDAQ OMX Helsinki or otherwise during the Offer Period (including any
extension thereof) and any Subsequent Offer Period. The Offeror also reserves
the right to acquire Option Rights outside the Tender Offer during the Offer
Period (including any extension thereof) and any Subsequent Offer Period.

If the Offeror or any party referred to Chapter 11, Section 5 of the Finnish
Securities Market Act acquires, before the expiry of the Offer Period, Shares or
Option Rights at a higher price than the Share Offer Price or the Option Offer
Price or otherwise on terms that are more favorable than those of the Tender
Offer, the Offeror must according to Chapter 11, Section 25 of the Finnish
Securities Market Act amend the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer to
correspond to this acquisition on more favorable terms (obligation to increase
the offer). The Offeror shall then, without delay, make public the triggering of
the obligation to increase the offer and pay, in connection with the completion
of the Tender Offer, the difference between the acquisition on more favorable
terms and the consideration offered in the Tender Offer to the holders of
securities who have accepted the Tender Offer.

If the Offeror or any party referred to in Chapter 11, Section 5 of the Finnish
Securities Market Act acquires, during the nine (9) months following the expiry
of the Offer Period, Shares or Option Rights at a higher price than the Share
Offer Price or the Option Offer Price or otherwise on terms that are more
favorable than those of the Tender Offer, the Offeror must according to Chapter
11, Section 25 of the Finnish Securities Market Act compensate those holders of
securities who have accepted the Tender Offer for the amount equal to the
difference between the acquisition on more favorable terms and the consideration
offered in the Tender Offer (obligation to compensate). The Offeror shall then,
without delay, make public the triggering of the obligation to compensate and
pay the difference between the acquisition on more favorable terms and the
consideration offered in the Tender Offer within one month after the triggering
of the obligation to compensate to the holders of securities who have accepted
the Tender Offer.

According to  Chapter 11, Section 25, Subsection 5 of the Finnish Securities
Market Act, the obligation to compensate shall, however, not be triggered in
case the payment of a higher price than the Share Offer Price (or the Option
Offer Price) is based on an arbitral award pursuant to the Finnish Companies
Act, provided that the Offeror or any party referred to in Chapter 11, Section
5 of the Finnish Securities Market Act has not offered to acquire Shares (or
Option Rights) on terms that are more favourable than those of the Tender Offer
before or during the arbitral  proceedings.

Acceptance Procedure of the Tender Offer


The Tender Offer must be accepted separately for each book-entry account. A
shareholder and holder of Option Rights of the Company must have a cash account
in a financial institution operating in Finland. A shareholder or a holder of
Option Rights may only accept the Tender Offer unconditionally and for every
Share and Option Right on the book-entry account mentioned in the acceptance
form on the date of the execution of the sale and purchase of the Shares of the
shareholder or of the Option Rights of the holder of the Option Rights.
Acceptance given during the Offer Period is effective also until the end of any
extended Offer Period or any discontinued extended Offer Period.

Shares


Most of the Finnish book-entry account operators will send a notification of the
Tender Offer, including instructions and the relevant acceptance form to their
customers who are registered as shareholders in the shareholders' register of
the Company maintained by Euroclear Finland Ltd. ("Euroclear"). Shareholders who
do not receive such notification from their account operator or asset manager
can contact any branch office of the cooperative banks belonging to the OP-
Pohjola Group or Helsinki OP Bank Plc where such shareholders shall receive
necessary information and can give their acceptance.

A shareholder in the Company whose shareholdings are registered in the name of a
nominee and who wishes to accept the Tender Offer shall affect such acceptance
in accordance with the nominee's instructions.

Pledged Shares may only be tendered with the consent of the relevant pledgee.
The obtaining of such consent shall be the responsibility of the relevant
shareholder in the Company. The consent by the pledgee shall be delivered in
writing to the account operator.

A shareholder in the Company who is registered as a shareholder in the
shareholders' register of the Company and who wishes to accept the Tender Offer
shall submit a properly completed and duly executed acceptance form to the
account operator managing the shareholder's book-entry account in accordance
with its instructions and within the time limit set by the account operator or,
in the case such account operator does not accept acceptance forms (e.g.
Euroclear), such shareholder shall contact any branch office of the cooperative
bank belonging to the OP-Pohjola Group or Helsinki OP Bank Plc to give his/her
acceptance to tender the Shares. The acceptance form shall be submitted so that
it is received during the Offer Period or, if the Offer Period has been
extended, during such extended Offer Period, however, always in accordance with
the instructions of the relevant account operator. In the event of a Subsequent
Offer Period, the acceptance form shall be submitted so that it is received
during the Subsequent Offer Period, however, always in accordance with the
instructions of the relevant account operator.

The method of delivery of acceptance forms is at the shareholder's option and
risk, and the delivery will be deemed made only when actually received by such
account operator or cooperative bank belonging to the OP-Pohjola Group or
Helsinki OP Bank Plc. The Offeror may also reject any partial tender of the
Shares. The Offeror reserves the right to reject any acceptance given in an
incorrect or incomplete manner. The Offeror may also reject any partial tender
of the Shares.

By accepting the Tender Offer, the shareholders of the Company authorize Pohjola
Pankki Plc ("Pohjola Pankki") or a party authorized by Pohjola Pankki or the
account operator managing the shareholder's book-entry account to enter a
transfer restriction or a sales reservation on the shareholder's book-entry
account after the shareholder has delivered their acceptance of the Tender
Offer. In addition, the shareholder who have accepted the Tender Offer authorize
Pohjola Pankki or a party authorized by Pohjola Pankki or the account operator
managing the shareholder's book-entry account to perform the necessary entries
and to take all other actions required to technically execute the Tender Offer
and to sell all the Shares owned by such shareholder at the time of the
execution trades under the Tender Offer to the Offeror in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the Tender Offer.

A shareholder that has validly accepted the Tender Offer and that has not
properly withdrawn its acceptance in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the Tender Offer may not sell or otherwise dispose of its tendered Shares. A
transfer restriction in respect of the Shares will be registered in the relevant
book-entry account after a shareholder has submitted the acceptance for the
Tender Offer. If the Tender Offer is not completed or if the tender is properly
withdrawn by the shareholder in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Tender Offer, the transfer restriction registered on the tendered Shares in the
relevant book-entry account will be removed as soon as possible and within
approximately three (3) Finnish banking days following the announcement that the
Tender Offer will not be completed or the receipt of a notice of withdrawal in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer.


Option Rights


Most of the Finnish book-entry account operators will send a notification of the
Tender Offer, including instructions and the relevant acceptance form to their
customers who are holders of Option Rights who are registered in the
shareholders' register of the Company maintained by Euroclear. Holders of Option
Rights who do not receive such notification from their account operator or asset
manager can contact any branch office of the cooperative banks belonging to the
OP-Pohjola Group or Helsinki OP Bank Plc where such holders of Option Rights
shall receive necessary information and can give their acceptance.

Holders of Option Rights whose holdings are registered in the name of a nominee
and who wishes to accept the Tender Offer shall affect such acceptance in
accordance with the nominee's instructions.

Pledged Option Rights may only be tendered with the consent of the relevant
pledgee. The obtaining of such consent shall be the responsibility of the
relevant holder of Option Rights. The consent by the pledgee shall be delivered
in writing to the account operator.

A holder of Option Rights who wishes to accept the Tender Offer shall submit a
properly completed and duly executed acceptance form to the account operator
managing the holder's book-entry account in accordance with its instructions and
within the time limit set by the account operator or, in the case such account
operator does not accept acceptance forms (e.g. Euroclear), such holder of
Option Rights shall contact any branch office of the cooperative bank belonging
to the OP-Pohjola Group or Helsinki OP Bank Plc to give his/her acceptance to
tender the Option Rights. The acceptance form shall be submitted so that it is
received during the Offer Period or, if the Offer Period has been extended,
during such extended Offer Period, however, always in accordance with the
instructions of the relevant account operator. In the event of a Subsequent
Offer Period, the acceptance form shall be submitted so that it is received
during the Subsequent Offer Period, however, always in accordance with the
instructions of the relevant account operator.

The method of delivery of acceptance forms is at the option and risk of the
holder of Option Rights, and the delivery will be deemed made only when actually
received by such account operator or a cooperative bank belonging to the OP-
Pohjola Group or Helsinki OP Bank Plc. The Offeror reserves the right to reject
any acceptance given in an incorrect or incomplete manner. The Offeror may also
reject any partial tender of the Option Rights.

By accepting the Tender Offer, the holder of Option Rights authorizes Pohjola
Pankki or a party authorized by Pohjola Pankki or the account operator managing
the holder's book-entry account to enter a transfer restriction or a sales
reservation after the holder of Option Rights has delivered its acceptance of
the Tender Offer. In addition, the holder of Option Rights who has accepted the
Tender Offer authorizes Pohjola Pankki or a party authorized by Pohjola Pankki
or the account operator managing the holder's book-entry account to perform the
necessary entries and to all other actions required to technically execute the
Tender Offer and to sell all the Option Rights owned by such holder of Option
Rights at the time of the execution trades under the Tender Offer to the Offeror
in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer.

A holder of Option Rights that has validly accepted the Tender Offer and that
has not properly withdrawn its acceptance in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Tender Offer may not sell or otherwise dispose of its tendered
Option Rights. A transfer restriction in respect of the Option Rights will be
registered in the relevant book-entry account after a holder of Option Rights
has submitted the acceptance for the Tender Offer. If the Tender Offer is not
completed or if the tender is properly withdrawn by the holder of Option Rights
in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer, the transfer
restriction registered on the tendered Option Rights in the relevant book-entry
account will be removed as soon as possible and within approximately three (3)
Finnish banking days following the announcement that the Tender Offer will not
be completed or the receipt of a notice of withdrawal in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the Tender Offer.

Securities Market Act, the Shares and Option Rights validly tendered in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer may be withdrawn at
any time during the Offer Period or, if the Offer Period has been extended,
during such extended Offer Period, until the Offeror has announced that all the
Conditions to Completion have been fulfilled or waived by the Offeror, thereby
declaring the Tender Offer unconditional. After such announcement, the Shares
and Option Rights already tendered may no longer be withdrawn except in the
event that a third party announces a competing public tender offer for the
Shares and Option Rights before the execution of the sale and purchase of the
Shares and Option Rights in accordance with sections 1.9 and 1.10 below.

The proper withdrawal of the Shares and/or Option Rights validly tendered
requires that a written notice of withdrawal is submitted to the same account
operator to whom the acceptance form with respect to such Shares and/or Option
Rights was submitted. In case the acceptance form with respect to Shares and/or
Option Rights was submitted to a branch office of the cooperative bank belonging
to the OP-Pohjola Group or Helsinki OP Bank Plc, the notice of withdrawal must
be submitted to the same branch office In case of holdings that are registered
in the name of a nominee, the shareholder or holder of Option Rights shall
instruct the nominee to submit the notice of withdrawal.

If a shareholder or holder of Option Rights withdraws its acceptance of the
Tender Offer in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer,
the transfer restriction registered on the tendered Shares and Option Rights in
the relevant book-entry account will be removed as soon as possible and within
approximately three (3) Finnish banking days following the receipt of a notice
of withdrawal in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer.

Withdrawn Shares and/or Option Rights may be re-tendered by following the
acceptance procedures described in section 1.6 above prior to the expiry of the
Offer Period or, if the Offer Period has been extended, prior to the expiry of
such extended Offer Period.

The account operator managing the relevant book-entry account or the nominee may
charge a fee for withdrawals in accordance with its price lists.
