AGREEMENTS
----------
1. Loan to Borrower. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain
----------------
Software Hosting Agreement between Borrower and Lender of even date herewith
(the "Hosting Agreement"), Borrower may be required, after consultation with and
approval by Lender, to purchase additional Hosting Servers, as that term is
defined in the Hosting Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, Lender shall from time to time make advances ("Advances") to Borrower

In no event shall Lender have any obligation to make Advances to Borrower
following the occurrence of any Event of Default as defined in section 11 of
this Agreement.
-1-
[*]=CERTAIN INFORMATION IN THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO
THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
A. Advances. Advances shall be made only in amounts separately agreed
--------
between Lender and Borrower to be sufficient to purchase the additional Hosting
Servers required by Lender. Each such Advance shall be evidenced by a promissory
note (the "Promissory Note") with a term of [*] ([*]) [*] in substantially the
form of the sample note attached hereto as Exhibit A. The terms of all such
Promissory Notes are by this reference incorporated in this Agreement. The
proceeds of each Advance shall only be used by Borrower to purchase the
additional Hosting Servers for which that Advance is made.
B. Persons Authorized. Lender is hereby authorized by Borrower to make
------------------
Advances only upon the written requests (including requests made by telex,
telegraph or facsimile), of any one of the following persons (the "Responsible
Officers" and each a "Responsible Officer"): Dave Peterschmidt, Jerry Kennelly
and Randy Gottfried; each of whom is and shall be authorized to request Advances
and direct the disposition of any Advance until written notice by Borrower of
the revocation of such authority is received by Lender. Any Advance shall be
conclusively presumed to have been made to or for the benefit of Borrower when
made in accordance with such a request. Requests for Advances shall be on the
Borrowing Notice form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Any such Borrowing Notice
shall be directed to the following Lender representative (or such other person
as Lender may direct from time to time) for approval prior to disbursement:
Shirish Nadkarni.
C. Assumption of Risk. It is important to Borrower that Borrower have the
------------------
privilege of making requests for Advances by e-mail, telex, telegraph or
facsimile. Therefore, to induce Lender to lend funds in response to such
requests, and in consideration for Lender's agreement to receive and consider
such requests, BORROWER ASSUMES ALL RISK OF THE VALIDITY, AUTHENTICITY AND
AUTHORIZATION OF SUCH REQUESTS, WHETHER OR NOT THE INDIVIDUAL MAKING SUCH
REQUEST HAS AUTHORITY IN FACT TO REQUEST ADVANCES ON BEHALF OF BORROWER. UNLESS
AN UNAUTHORIZED OR INVALID ADVANCE IS MADE AS A RESULT OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE ON
THE PART OF LENDER, LENDER SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE, UNDER PRINCIPLES OF
CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY LOSS SUSTAINED BY BORROWER RESULTING FROM
ANY UNAUTHORIZED OR INVALID ADVANCE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE AMOUNT
OF ANY ADVANCE. Borrower agrees to repay any sums, with interest as provided
herein, that Lender so advances. Borrower agrees to give Lender prompt written
confirmation of all e-mail, telex, telegraph or facsimile requests for Advances;
but Borrower's failure to do so, or the failure of such confirmation to reach
Lender, shall not affect Borrower's assumption of the risk with respect to such
Advance or reduce in any way the obligation of Borrower to repay with interest
all amounts theretofore or thereafter advanced by Lender pursuant thereto.
D. Request for Advance. Each request for an Advance shall set forth the
-------------------
amount of such Advance and the date such Advance is to be made, such request to
be received by Lender by 9:30 a.m., Seattle, WA, USA time ten (10) full business
days before such Advance is to be made. Any proposed Advance shall be made and
effected only on a business day and may be disbursed only after a separate
Promissory Note for such Advance is properly executed by

THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
Borrower, and delivered to and accepted by Lender. If the date of the proposed
Advance is not a business day, such Advance shall be effected on the next
succeeding business day. Each request for an Advance shall be irrevocable and
binding on Borrower.
E. Disbursement of Advances. Advances made and effected by Lender shall
------------------------
be disbursed by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the depository
account set forth in Exhibit E hereto, or such other account as Borrower may
designate from time to time by written notice to Lender signed by a Responsible
Officer.
2. Term and Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the
--------------------
termination of the Hosting Agreement ("Maturity Date"); provided that all rights
and remedies to which Lender is entitled under this Agreement and at law shall
survive any such termination of the Agreement until all amounts advanced or
otherwise due Lender under this Agreement have been repaid or otherwise

issued. All computations of interest shall be based on a 360-day year for the
actual number of days passed.
4. Payment of Principal and Interest.

----------------
Advance shall be made in immediately available funds, by 10:00 a.m., Seattle

Note. The payments of principal and interest shall be separately calculated for
each Advance and shall be payable in immediately available funds on the first
business day of each month until paid in full. Each installment payment shall be
in an amount sufficient to cause the principal balance of each Advance to be
repaid within three years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amounts accrued
but not paid at the time of termination of this Agreement shall be payable or
otherwise satisfied in accordance with the following subsections.
B. Roll-over or Acceleration. Upon expiration or termination of this
-------------------------
Agreement:
(i) If this Agreement is terminated due to the mutual agreement
of the parties, due to termination of the Hosting Agreement by Lender pursuant
to section 10.2 of the Hosting Agreement, or due to termination of the Hosting
Agreement by Borrower pursuant to section 10.1 of the Hosting Agreement, then
immediately prior to the effective date of such termination Lender shall cancel
all outstanding Promissory Notes and Borrower shall simultaneously execute a new
promissory note ("New Note") for all outstanding principal, interest and other
amounts under such Promissory Notes owed or owing to Lender by Borrower on that
date, in substantially the form attached as Exhibit C satisfying and replacing
all outstanding Advances and other amounts due under this Agreement. A New Note

shall be in an amount sufficient to cause the principal balance of the New Note
to be repaid within two (2) years. Installment payments for the New Note shall

to any and all remedies available to Lender for an Event of Default as provided
in section 12 of this Agreement.
C. Prepayment. Borrower may prepay each Advance in whole or in part,

the payment of past due interest on any outstanding Advance, and any remaining
amount shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of each Advance.
5. Overdue Payments; Default Rate. If any amount due under this Agreement
------------------------------
is not paid when and as due, such amount shall bear interest from the date such

Rate"), provided that in no event shall the rate of interest exceed that
permitted by applicable law.

material breach thereunder by Borrower; or
I. Borrower's failure to duly and punctually observe or perform, in
any material respect, any other of the covenants, conditions or agreements to be
performed or observed by Borrower contained in this Agreement or any of the
Documents and, except as may otherwise be specifically provided in the
Documents, such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after the
earlier of the giving of notice of such failure by Lender to Borrower, or the
date Lender is notified of such failure by Borrower or should have been so
notified pursuant to section 8B hereof.
J. Borrower's material breach under the Hosting Agreement and/or any
of the following agreements between the parties (which remains uncured after the
applicable core
-12-
period, if any, thereunder): the Software Development Agreement of even date
herewith; and the Information Services Agreement of even date herewith (and the
Escrow Agreement referred to therein).
12. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and while any
--------
Event of Default is continuing, Lender may at its option elect to pursue any or
all of the following remedies, which are cumulative and in addition to any other
right or remedy provided by applicable law:

due and immediately payable, and upon such declaration the same shall become and
be immediately due and payable;
B. terminate Lender's commitment to make Advances hereunder;
C. If Borrower fails to perform any act that it is required to
perform under this Agreement or the Security Agreement, Lender may, but shall
not be obligated to, perform, or cause to performed, such act, provided that any
reasonable expense thereby incurred by Lender and any money thereby paid by
Lender, shall be a demand obligation owing by Borrower and Lender shall promptly
notify Borrower of the amount of such obligation, which obligation shall bear
interest at the Default Rate from the date Lender makes such payment until
repaid by Borrower; and Lender shall be subrogated to all rights of the person
receiving such payment;
D. enforce Lender's rights under the Security Agreement;
E. terminate the Hosting Agreement;
F. institute one or more legal proceedings at law or in equity for
the:
(i) specific performance of any covenant, condition, agreement
or undertaking contained in the Documents, or in aid of the execution of any
powers granted therein and/or to recover a judgment for damages for the breach
hereof, including, without limitation, any amount due under the Documents,
either by their terms or by virtue of such declaration, and collect the same out
of any property of Borrower;
(ii) foreclosure of its security interest in the Collateral and
the sale of all or any part of the Collateral under the judgment or decree of
any court of competent jurisdiction;
(iii) enforcement of such other appropriate legal or equitable
remedy as may in the opinion of Lender be necessary to protect and enforce
Lender's rights under the Documents;
G. assert such other rights and remedies of a secured party and of a
mortgagee under the laws of the United States or the state of Washington
(regardless of whether such law or one similar thereto has been enacted in the
jurisdiction where the rights or remedies are asserted),
-13-
including, without limitation, all rights of a secured party under the UCC,
whether or not this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are
determined to be governed by the UCC.
13. Costs and Expenses of Collection and Enforcement. Borrower shall pay
------------------------------------------------
to Lender on demand all reasonable attorneys fees and other costs and expenses
reasonably incurred by Lender in protecting the Collateral or in exercising
Lender's rights, powers or remedies under this Agreement or the Documents,
together with interest on such sums at the Default Rate from the date when the
costs and expenses are incurred until fully paid. If because of Borrower's
default the Lender consults an attorney regarding the enforcement of any of its
rights under any Document, or if suit is brought to enforce any Document,
Borrower promises to pay all costs thereof, including attorneys' fees. Such
costs and attorneys' fees shall include, without limitation, costs and
attorneys' fees incurred in any appeal, forfeiture proceeding or in any
proceedings under any present or future federal bankruptcy or state receivership
law.
14. Allocation of Proceeds. The (a) proceeds of any sale, (b) proceeds of
----------------------
any insurance received by Lender under any insurance policy obtained by any
Borrower hereunder, and (c) any and all other moneys received by Lender with
respect to the Documents, the application of which has not elsewhere herein been
specifically provided for, shall, except as otherwise specified in any
applicable Document, be applied as follows
(i) first, to the payment of all expenses and charges, including
expenses of any sale or retaking, reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and
other expenses or advances reasonably made or incurred by Lender, or on Lender's
behalf, under the Documents upon an Event of Default, and to the payment of, and
provision for adequate indemnity for, any taxes, assessments or liens prior to
the lien of Lender;
(ii) second, to the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest under
the Promissory Notes or New Notes;
(iii) third, to the payment of the unpaid principal balance under the
Promissory Notes or New Note;
(iv) fourth, to the payment of all other amounts due to Lender under
the Documents; and
(v) last, any residue shall be paid to Borrower, or as otherwise
required by law, or, directed by a court having jurisdiction.
If the proceeds and other sums described in this section 14 are insufficient to
pay in full all amounts due to Lender under the Documents, Borrower shall
immediately pay such deficiency to Lender.
15. Modifications, Consents and Waivers. No failure or delay on the part
-----------------------------------
of Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder or under the Promissory
Notes or New Notes or under any other Document shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
-14-
any such right or power preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right or power. No amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision to this Agreement, the Notes or any other Document, nor consent to
any departure therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall
be in writing and consented to by Lender, and then such amendment, modification,
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall
entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances.
16. Notices. All notices and requests in connection with this Agreement,
-------
the Promissory Notes, the New Note or any other Document shall be in writing and

and all other Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that,
subject to Exhibit D hereto, Borrower may not assign or transfer its rights
hereunder, or delegate its obligations hereunder, without the prior written
consent of Lender, which may be withheld in Lender's sole and absolute
discretion. From and after any assignment, transfer or delegation of obligation
by Lender of its interest hereunder, Lender shall be released from all liability
to Borrower hereunder arising after the date of such assignment, transfer or
delegation of obligation; provided, however, that any assignee of Lender shall
expressly assume all of the obligations of Lender hereunder. For purposes of
this Agreement, an "transfer" under this Section shall be deemed to include,
without limitation, the following: (a) a merger or any other combination of an
entity with another party (other than a reincorporation of Inktomi from the
State of California to the State of Delaware), whether or not the entity is the
surviving entity; (b) any transaction or series of transactions whereby a third
party acquires direct or indirect power to control the management and policies
of an entity, whether through the acquisition of voting securities, by contract,
or otherwise; (c) in the case of Inktomi, the sale or other transfer of
Inktomi's search engine business or any other substantial portion of Inktomi's
assets (whether in a single transaction or series of transactions), or (d) the
transfer of any rights or obligations in the course of a liquidation or other
similar reorganization of an entity (other than a reincorporation of Inktomi
from the State of California to the State of Delaware).
20. Headings. Article and paragraph headings used in this Agreement are
--------
for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction of this
Agreement.
21. Severability. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision or
------------
provisions of this Agreement, the Promissory Notes, the New Note, or any other
Document shall not render any other provision or provisions hereof or thereof
unenforceable or invalid. If any rate of
-16-
interest provided for herein is greater than that permitted under applicable
law, such rate shall be automatically reduced to be the maximum permitted by
law.
22. Additional Documents. Borrower shall at Lender's request, from time
--------------------
to time, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, execute, re-execute, deliver and
redeliver any and all documents, and do and perform such other and further acts,
as may reasonably be required by Lender to enable Lender to perfect, preserve
and protect Lender's security interest in the Collateral and Lender's and
Lender's rights and remedies under this Agreement or granted by law and to carry
out and effect the intents and purposes of this Agreement.
23. Integration. This Agreement and the other Documents shall constitute
-----------
the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject
matter of this Loan Agreement and shall supersede all other agreements, written
or oral, with respect thereto. In the event of any conflict between this
Agreement and the other Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall
control.
24. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
------------
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original if fully executed, but
all of which shall constitute one and the same document.
25. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
-------------
accordance with the laws of the state of Washington.
26. Confidentiality.
---------------
A. The parties hereby agree that all terms and conditions of that
certain Microsoft Corporation Non-Disclosure Agreement between them dated March

agree that the terms of this Agreement and any information provided to Lender
hereunder shall be treated as confidential in accordance with the terms of said
Non-Disclosure Agreement.
B. Without having first sought and obtained Lender's written
approval (which Lender may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion),
Borrower shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) trade upon this transaction or
any aspect of Borrower's relationship with Lender, or (ii) otherwise deprecate
Microsoft technology.
C. Neither party will issue any press release or make any public
announcement(s) relating in any way whatsoever to this Agreement or the
relationship established by this Agreement without the express prior written
consent of the other party. However, the parties acknowledge that this
Agreement, or portions thereof, may be required under applicable law to be

seek confidential treatment
-17-
of this Agreement to the maximum extent reasonably possible, in documents
approved by both parties and filed with the applicable governmental or
regulatory authorities.

EXHIBIT D
---------
Transfer of Inktomi
-------------------
If Inktomi requests Microsoft's consent to a transfer as described in clause (a)
of Section 19 of this Loan Agreement to which this Exhibit D is appended, and
Microsoft reasonably withholds its consent to such transfer (an "Unconsented
Transfer"), then Inktomi will nevertheless have the right to transfer this
Agreement in connection with its proposed Unconsented Transfer subject to the
following conditions precedent to the Unconsented Transfer:
(i) Inktomi, at its sole cost and expense, and without any financing supplied
by Microsoft, will create a separate cluster of Hosting Servers for Microsoft
required to service Microsoft's reasonably anticipated needs for a period of
twelve months after the commencement of operation of such new and relocated
cluster (provided however that Microsoft will purchase, or fund (in accordance
with this Loan Agreement) Inktomi's purchase of (whichever Microsoft elects) any
new hosting servers beyond the Hosting Servers purchased by Inktomi under the
Software Hosting Agreement of even date herewith necessary to service
Microsoft's reasonably anticipated needs as set forth above);
(ii) Inktomi will relocate, at its sole cost and expense (including, without
limitation, indemnifying Microsoft and holding it harmless against any and all
Taxes that arise as a direct or indirect result of the relocation of the Hosting
Servers), all Hosting Servers referred to in clause (i) to a location designated
by Microsoft, in its sole discretion;
(iii) Inktomi, at its sole cost and expense, will provide training to Microsoft
personnel to the extent requested by Microsoft, to enable such personnel to use
and maintain the Microsoft Search Engine, and to create enhancements thereto,
with reasonable competence (all as determined by Microsoft in its sole
discretion);
(iv) Inktomi will grant to Microsoft an irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-
free license to use the Product (and all required underlying Inktomi Technology)
solely in connection with Microsoft's operation of the Microsoft Search Engine
(which license shall include the right to create enhancements and other
derivative works based thereon for use in conjunction therewith) for such period
as Microsoft may require to transition its search engine services to non-Inktomi
technology (the "Transition Period"), and Inktomi will waive all royalties
otherwise payable pursuant to the Software Development Agreement and/or the
Information Services Agreement of even date herewith; for the purposes of this
clause (iv), the Transition Period will commence at such time as Microsoft
assumes control over said separate cluster and begins itself operating the
Microsoft Search Engine, and will continue thereafter for eighteen months (18)
or until the termination of said Software Development Agreement and Information
Services Agreement (whichever is longer);
-24-
(v) Inktomi will direct the Escrow Agent to release to Microsoft all
Confidential Materials held by the Escrow Agent, subject to Microsoft's
agreement to use such Confidential Materials only in connection with its
licensed rights under clause (iv) above;
(vi) Inktomi will agree to reimburse Microsoft for all reasonable costs
incurred by Microsoft in transitioning its search engine to non-Inktomi
technology (whether created by Microsoft or by a third party); and
(vii) Inktomi will cause the applicable proposed assignee, transferee or
delegatee of obligation of this Agreement to assume, jointly and severally with
Inktomi, all of Inktomi's obligations hereunder.
Microsoft will cooperate with Inktomi and use its reasonable best efforts so as
to enable Inktomi to satisfy the foregoing conditions precedent in a timely
manner. Upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions precedent, said Software
Hosting Agreement shall be deemed terminated pursuant to Section 10.1 thereof.
Upon expiration of the Transition Period, all rights granted to Microsoft to use
the Product (other than Microsoft Technology, Joint Derivative Technology and
the Microsoft Derivative Technology) and/or any Inktomi Technology under the
transitional license referred to in clause (iv) or otherwise shall cease, and
Microsoft shall immediately return to Inktomi all Confidential Materials (and
all copies thereof), provided however that, notwithstanding any provision of the
Ancillary Agreements to the contrary, the undertaking by Inktomi to indemnify
Microsoft and hold it harmless against Taxes as provided in clause (ii) above
shall survive any such terminations.
Capitalized terms used in this Exhibit D and not otherwise defined in this Loan
Agreement shall be defined in the same manner as in the applicable agreement
among the following agreements between Lender and Borrower of even date
herewith: Software Development Agreement; Information Services Agreement; and/or
Software Hosting Agreement.
