ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
Not applicable.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Company's Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation limits the
liability of directors to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. Delaware
law provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for
monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for
liability (i) for any breach of their duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful
payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided
in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The Company's Restated Bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify
its directors and officers and may indemnify its employees and other agents to
the fullest extent permitted by law. The Company believes that
II-1
<PAGE> 4
indemnification under its Restated Bylaws covers at least negligence and gross
negligence on the part of indemnified parties. The Company's Restated Bylaws
also permit the Company to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director,
employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in
such capacity, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to
indemnify him or her against such liability under the General Corporation Law of
Delaware. The Company currently has secured such insurance on behalf of its
officers and directors.
The Company has entered into agreements to indemnify its directors and
officers, in addition to indemnification provided for in the Company's Restated
Bylaws. Subject to certain conditions, these agreements, among other things,
indemnify the Company's directors and officers for certain expenses (including
attorney's fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any such
person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of
the Company, arising out of such person's services as a director or officer of
the Company, any subsidiary of the Company or any other company or enterprise to
which the person provides services at the request of the Company.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
II-2
<PAGE> 5
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to include any
material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amend ment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
(4) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Exchange Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Exchange Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

RE: REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-8
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed by you
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about September 17, 1998 (the
"Registration Statement"), in connection with the registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 4,884,488 shares of your Common Stock to
be issued under the Networks Associates, Inc. 1997 Stock Incentive Plan, the
Networks Associates, Inc. 1994 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the Pretty Good
Privacy, Inc. 1996 Stock Option Plan and the CyberMedia, Inc. 1993 Stock Plan
(collectively the "Shares"). As legal counsel for Networks Associates, Inc., we
have examined the proceedings taken and are familiar with the proceedings
proposed to be taken by you in connection with the sale and issuance of the
Shares.
It is our opinion that, when issued and sold in the manner referred to in
the aforemention employee benefit plans, the Shares will be legally and validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and further consent to the use of our name wherever appearing in the
Registration Statement and any amendments to it.
Very truly yours,
