WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO
THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
Microsoft under applicable law solely as a result of entering into this
Agreement (ii) are based solely upon the amounts payable under this Agreement,
and (iii) are required to be collected from Microsoft by Inktomi under
applicable law, provided, however, that solely with respect to sales tax or use
tax payable to those taxing jurisdictions that impose sales or use taxes under
applicable law upon the vendor, rather than the purchaser, clause (i) above
shall be modified to provide "sales taxes or use taxes that are owed by Inktomi
under applicable law solely as a result of entering into this Agreement and
clause (iii) shall be modified to provide "are permitted to be collected from
Microsoft by Inktomi under applicable law." (Such Taxes as are described in
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, the "Invoiced Taxes"). The Invoiced Taxes
shall be stated separately as applicable on Inktomi's invoices and shall be
remitted by Microsoft to Inktomi. Inktomi shall promptly provide to Microsoft
official tax receipts indicating that such Invoiced Taxes have been collected by
Inktomi. Microsoft may provide to Inktomi an exemption certificate acceptable to
Inktomi and to the relevant taxing authority (including without limitation a
resale certificate) in which case Inktomi shall not collect the Taxes covered by
such certificate. Inktomi agrees to take such steps as are reasonably requested
by Microsoft to minimize such Invoiced Taxes in accordance with all relevant
laws and to reasonably cooperate with and assist Microsoft, at Microsoft's
request, in challenging the validity of any Invoiced Taxes or other Taxes paid
directly by Microsoft to the relevant taxing authority. Inktomi shall indemnify
and hold Microsoft harmless from any Taxes, penalties, interest, or additions to
tax arising from amounts paid by Microsoft to Inktomi under this Agreement that
are asserted or assessed against Microsoft to the extent such amounts are
related to Invoiced Taxes paid to Inktomi by Microsoft under this section. Other
than the Invoiced Taxes, all Inktomi Taxes shall be the responsibility of
Inktomi and may not be passed on to Microsoft. Inktomi takes full responsibility
for all such Inktomi Taxes, including penalties, interest and other additions
thereon and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Microsoft harmless from any
claims, causes of action, costs (including without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees), penalties, interest charges and other liabilities of any
nature whatsoever associated therewith. All Taxes that are imposed on Microsoft
under applicable law (the "Microsoft Taxes") shall be the responsibility of
Microsoft and may not be passed on to Inktomi. Microsoft takes full
responsibility for all such Microsoft Taxes, including penalties, interest and
other additions thereon and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Inktomi
harmless from any claims, causes of action, costs (including without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees), penalties, interest charges and other liabilities
of any nature whatsoever associated therewith.
3.2.2 In the event that Taxes are required to be withheld on
payments made hereunder by any U.S. (state, local or federal) or foreign
government, Microsoft may deduct such Taxes from the amount owed Inktomi and pay
them to the appropriate taxing authority. Microsoft shall in turn promptly
secure and deliver to Inktomi an official receipt for any Taxes withheld.
Inktomi may provide to Microsoft an exemption certificate acceptable to
Microsoft and to the relevant taxing authority (including without limitation a
resale certificate) in which case Microsoft shall not collect the Taxes covered
by such certificate. Microsoft agrees to take such steps as are reasonably
requested by Inktomi to minimize such Taxes in accordance with all relevant
8
laws and to reasonably cooperate with and assist Inktomi, at Inktomi's request,
in challenging the validity of any such Taxes.
3.2.3 Inktomi agrees and acknowledges that it will be
responsible for all of its federal and state taxes, withholding, social
security, unemployment and other related taxes, insurance, and other benefits,
and all salaries, benefits, and other costs of its employees.
3.3 Microsoft agrees to keep, for not less than eighteen (18) months,
all proper records and books of account and all proper entries therein relating
to the calculations made under Section 2. Inktomi may cause an audit to be
made, at its expense, of the applicable records in order to verify statements
rendered hereunder. Any such audit shall be conducted only by a certified
public accountant (other than on a contingency-fee basis) and shall be conducted
during regular business hours at Microsoft's offices and in such a manner as not
to interfere with Microsoft's normal business activities. In no event shall an
audit with respect to any royalty statement commence later than eighteen (18)
months from the date of the statement involved, nor shall the audits be made
hereunder more frequently than once annually, nor shall the records supporting
any statements be audited more than once. Inktomi shall require the certified
public accountant when engaged to execute and deliver to Microsoft a certificate
in substantially the following form:
"I hereby certify that I have been engaged by Inktomi to audit the books and
records of MICROSOFT CORPORATION. Inktomi will not pay me on a contingent-
fee basis. The fees to be received by me for conducting the audit shall be
in no manner variable according to the findings or results of the audit.
Inktomi hereby agrees to make available to Microsoft, upon request, its records
and reports pertaining to the audit and any such records and reports prepared
for Inktomi by third parties (including the work sheets generated by its
auditors) but only in the event that Inktomi makes any claim with respect to
such audit. If any Inktomi audit should determine that Microsoft underpaid
Inktomi by an amount of 5% or more for the period audited, then in addition to
any and all other rights and remedies Inktomi may have under the circumstances,
Inktomi may require Microsoft to reimburse it for all costs it incurred relating
to such audit in addition to paying the amount otherwise owed.
4. Product Development.
-------------------
4.1 In General. Inktomi shall perform the Services, and deliver to
----------
Microsoft the Deliverables, in accordance with the Specifications (including the
Schedule), as the same may change from time to time during the Term with the
mutual consent of Microsoft and Inktomi, and all other terms and conditions
contained in this Agreement. Inktomi will use its best efforts to meet each
milestone in the Schedule for delivering the Product and the Deliverables.
Inktomi agrees that the Services shall be performed in a professional manner and
shall be of a high grade, nature and quality. Throughout the Term:
9
4.1.1 Inktomi will assign human and financial resources to
maintain the Inktomi Search Engine and the Product, and develop enhancements
thereof, of at least the same quality and quantity as allocated to the
development and maintenance of the Inktomi Search Engine prior to the Effective

so long as he is an employee of Inktomi, [*] shall (i) be substantially
responsible for the guidance and direction of the Inktomi Search Engine and the
Product, including the development and enhancement thereof, and (ii) devote such
time and effort with respect to the Inktomi Search Engine and Product as may be
required to reasonably ensure the maintenance of their quality, functionality
and reliability. Inktomi further agrees that Microsoft will have the right to
approve [*] successor as "leader" of the Inktomi Search Engine team, if [*]
should cease to be an employee of Inktomi. Inktomi shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to [*] within the Inktomi Search Engine development team, and
to ensure that the [*] is [*] than [*].
4.1.2 Inktomi will monitor the reliability and accessibility of
the Product, and ensure that it continues to perform in accordance with the
Specifications. Without limiting the generality of Section 4.1.3 below, if
Inktomi is contemplating any modifications to the Inktomi Search Engine or
Coupled Cluster Technology which might materially affect the performance of the
Product, Inktomi will confer in good faith with Microsoft regarding the
appropriateness of such modifications and mutually agree whether or not to make
such modifications; provided, however, that such consultation will not be deemed
to relieve Inktomi from its obligations to ensure that the Product continues to
meet the Specifications and operational cost estimates as specified in Exhibit C
at all times during the Term.
4.1.3 Prior to customization of the Inktomi Search Engine in
accordance with the Specifications, and thereafter throughout the Term, Inktomi
will keep Microsoft informed, in writing, of all planned enhancements to the
Inktomi Search Engine, and the status of development thereof, provided Inktomi
has the right to do so. Unless requested otherwise by Microsoft, Inktomi will
incorporate any or all such other planned enhancements into the Product,
provided Inktomi has the right to do so, in which case the Specifications shall
be deemed to be amended to include such enhancements.
4.1.4 From time to time, Microsoft may request that Inktomi
undertake to develop certain enhancements to the Product. Upon such request,
Inktomi shall confer in good faith with Microsoft regarding the feasibility of
developing such enhancements and the time frame for developing, testing and
incorporating such enhancements (giving due consideration to the status of
Microsoft as a primary licensee of Inktomi). Then, Inktomi and Microsoft shall
mutually agree as to whether Inktomi should pursue development of such
enhancements, and, if so, which of Inktomi and/or Microsoft will fund such
development, and, if funded in substantial part by Microsoft, whether the
enhancement will be Inktomi Derivative Technology, Microsoft Derivative
Technology, or Joint Derivative Technology. Upon mutual agreement, the
Specifications shall be deemed amended to include such enhancements.

WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO
THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
4.2 Acceptance. The terms and conditions contained in this Section
----------
4.2 will apply to the initial release of the Product, as well as to each
subsequent release, upgrade, enhancement and version thereof.
4.2.1 Inktomi agrees to thoroughly test the Product (including
without limitation each and every release, version, and enhancement thereof), as
appropriate under the circumstances, at all appropriate stages of development,
and shall document its testing by written test documents delivered to Microsoft.
Inktomi will submit its test plans to Microsoft for review, so as to ensure that
Microsoft's standards of quality are maintained, and Inktomi agrees to
subsequently modify the test plans to accommodate Microsoft's requests if
Microsoft reasonably deems any changes to be necessary or appropriate. Such test
documents shall include a detailed description of the tests as conducted, and
test results (including, without limitation, resulting bug list and outstanding
issues list). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, Inktomi will not deploy the Product, and/or any enhancement thereof,
unless and until Microsoft authorizes such deployment in writing.
4.2.2 If either party is aware or becomes aware of a delay that
will prevent Inktomi from meeting a scheduled milestone for any Deliverable
under the Schedule, such party will promptly inform the other party of such
delay, and the reason therefor, in writing. If such delay is caused by
Microsoft, the Schedule will automatically be deemed extended, for the
applicable Deliverable and for subsequent deliverables, if and to the extent
minimally necessitated by the original delay. If such delay is caused by
Inktomi, Inktomi will be given a reasonable period (up to thirty (30) days,
depending on the circumstances) to cure the unmet Deliverable Schedule. However,
Inktomi acknowledges that timely meeting the Schedule is of critical importance
under this Agreement, and that time is of the essence in curing a delayed
delivery.
4.2.3 Microsoft shall evaluate the beta and final version of
each Deliverable and shall submit an acceptance or rejection to Inktomi within
ten (10) days after Microsoft's receipt of the engineering prototype and beta
versions and fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of the final version of
the Deliverable. If Microsoft identifies Errors in any Deliverable prior to
acceptance, then Inktomi shall correct, at its sole expense, such Errors, and
use its best efforts to effect such correction within the applicable time
specified in Exhibit B.
4.2.4 If Inktomi fails to deliver any Deliverable within the
dates specified in the Schedule (after application of the applicable reasonable
cure period) and if any Errors discovered during the acceptance process cannot
be eliminated in the correction period specified in the Specifications or
Exhibit B (whichever is applicable) then Microsoft may, at its option: (i)
extend the correction period; or (ii) suspend its performance until the problem
is corrected to Microsoft's reasonable satisfaction and/or, if the failure to
deliver or uncorrected Error is material, terminate this Agreement for cause
pursuant to Section 9.
11
4.2.5 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
Inktomi shall at all times hereunder be responsible for ensuring that the
Product meets all Specifications, and if any Error is discovered after
acceptance, Inktomi shall remain obligated to correct such Error in accordance
with the applicable timetable determined by Microsoft and Inktomi as set forth
in the Specifications or Exhibit B, or as otherwise may be mutually agreed under
the circumstances.
4.3 Specific Enhancements. Without limiting the foregoing, Inktomi

10. Confidentiality.
---------------
10.1 The parties hereby agree that all terms and conditions of that
certain Microsoft Corporation Non-Disclosure Agreement between them dated March
18, 1997, shall govern the disclosure of confidential and proprietary
information made under this Agreement. In this connection, the parties hereby
agree that the terms of this Agreement, the Specifications, the Derivative
Technology and all Microsoft-requested enhancements to the Inktomi Search Engine
shall be treated as confidential in accordance with the terms of said Non-
Disclosure Agreement.
10.2 Without having first sought and obtained Microsoft's written
approval (which Microsoft may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion),
Inktomi shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) trade upon this transaction or
any aspect of Inktomi's relationship with Microsoft, or (ii) otherwise deprecate
Microsoft technology.
10.3 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
disclosed, as part of or an exhibit to a party's required public disclosure
documents. If either party is advised by its legal counsel that such disclosure
is required, it will notify the other in writing and the parties will jointly
seek confidential treatment of this Agreement to the maximum extent reasonably
possible, in documents approved by both parties and filed with the applicable
governmental or regulatory authorities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Microsoft
and Inktomi will cooperate to create a mutually approved joint press release
regarding the non-confidential aspects of this Agreement, which press release
shall be issued by each party on the Launch Date; provided, however, that the
precise timing of such press release shall be subject to the approval of
Microsoft (in its sole and absolute discretion).
11. Technology Escrow.
-----------------
11.1 To ensure that Microsoft will have access to such technology as
may be necessary or appropriate to permit it to use the Product to generate
search results (and to develop enhancements and other derivative works for use
in connection with the Product) as contemplated by this Agreement and the
Ancillary Agreements, Inktomi agrees to provide to an escrow agent, the identity
of which is satisfactory to Inktomi and Microsoft, a copy of all source code,
binary code and related documentation used in, or in connection with the
development of, the Product or the Deliverables (including all related
enhancements), concurrently with the deployment or delivery of the applicable
Deliverable or Product (including all related enhancements) to Microsoft.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all source code, binary code
and documentation for the Inktomi's Search Engine and relevant Coupled Cluster
Technology will be
20
escrowed hereunder. Said escrow agent will hold such code and documentation in
escrow, and release it if and only if it is permitted to do so pursuant to the
terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement appended hereto as Schedule I. The
parties shall execute an Escrow Agreement substantially in the form of Schedule
I concurrently with the execution of this Agreement.
11.2 If Microsoft is entitled to receive any source code, binary code
and/or documentation pursuant to said Escrow Agreement, (i) Inktomi will be
deemed to automatically have granted to Microsoft a non-exclusive and
irrevocable license during the remainder of the Term and throughout the
Territory to use the Product (and all required underlying Inktomi Technology)
solely to generate search results (and to create enhancements and derivative
works for use in connection with the Product) as contemplated by this Agreement
and the Ancillary Agreements, and (ii) Inktomi agrees to furnish to Microsoft,
upon Microsoft's request, the services of Inktomi personnel familiar with the
structure and operation of such source code and/or binary code to explain such
code and train Microsoft personnel in its operation. Such services shall
continue for so long as is reasonably required by Microsoft personnel to become
proficient in its use and application, and Inktomi will charge Microsoft only
for its direct, actual, out-of-pocket costs of such services.
12. Miscellany.
----------
12.1 Neither party shall represent itself as the agent or legal
representative of the other for any purpose whatsoever, and neither party shall
have the right to create or assume for the other any obligation of any kind.
This Agreement shall not create or be deemed to create an agency, partnership,
franchise, employment relationship or joint venture between the parties. Each
party's employees who perform services related to this Agreement shall remain
under the exclusive direction and control of their respective employer and shall
receive such salaries, compensation and benefits as their respective employer
may from time to time determines. Each party shall have full and sole
responsibility for its employees who perform any service related to this
Agreement with regard to compliance with all applicable laws, rules and
regulations governing such party relating to employment, labor, wages, benefits,
taxes and other matters affecting its employees.
12.2 Any notice required or permitted to be given under this
Agreement shall be made in writing and shall be deemed to have been given or
made if it is in writing and is: (i) delivered in person, (ii) sent by same day
or overnight courier, (iii) mailed by certified or registered mail, return
receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the party at its address set
forth below or at such other address as such party may subsequently furnish to
the other party by notice hereunder, or (iv) delivered by facsimile, the
transmittal of which shall be confirmed by a telephone call to the other party
and by dispatch of a confirming copy of the transmittal by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid. Notices will be deemed effective on the date of
delivery in the case of personal delivery, or three (3) business days after
mailing, or on the date of dispatch in the case of notification by facsimile
(assuming confirmation of transmission).
21
The parties' addresses for purposes of notice shall be as set forth above,
provided that all notices to Inktomi shall be sent to the attention of General
Counsel; and all notices to Microsoft shall be sent to the attention of Shirish
Nadkarni, with a copy to: Law & Corporate Affairs, U.S. Legal.
12.3 This Agreement shall be construed, enforced, performed and in
all respects governed by and in accordance with the laws in the State of
Washington. In any action or suit to enforce any right or remedy under this
Agreement the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs.
12.4 In the event any provision of this Agreement is rendered null,
void or otherwise ineffective in any given country or any political subdivision
in a given country, then (i) the parties agree to negotiate in good faith an
acceptable alternative provision which reflects as closely as possible the
intent of the unenforceable provision and which shall apply only with respect to
that portion of the Territory in which the original provision is rendered null,
void or otherwise ineffective and (ii) notwithstanding, and regardless of
whether the parties reach agreement after the good faith negotiations described
in clause (i) immediately above, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions of this Agreement with respect to such portion of the
Territory (and of all of the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the
balance of the Territory) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby
and shall remain in full force and effect. Section and all other headings used
herein are provided for convenience only and are not to be given any legal
effect or considered in interpreting any provision of this Agreement. No
provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted against any party because such
party or its legal representative drafted such provision.
12.5 Except as expressly permitted hereunder or in Exhibit D hereto,
neither party may transfer, assign or sublicense this Agreement, or any rights
or obligations hereunder, whether by contract or by operation of law, except
with the express written consent of the other party, and any attempted transfer,
assignment or sublicense by a party in violation of this Section shall be void.
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). Neither party will unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to a
requested transfer, assignment or sublicense. Subject to the provisions of this
Section, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each
party and their respective successors and assigns.
22
12.6 All rights and obligations of the parties hereunder are
personal to them. Except as otherwise specifically stated herein, this Agreement
is not intended to benefit, nor shall it be deemed to give rise to, any rights
in any third party.
12.7 Each party shall be responsible for compliance with all
applicable laws, rules and regulations, if any, related to the performance of
its obligations under this Agreement.
12.8 No waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement
shall constitute a waiver of any prior, concurrent or subsequent breach of the
same or any other provisions hereof or thereof, and no waiver shall be effective
unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving
party.
12.9 Neither party shall be liable hereunder by reason of any
failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder during any
event of force majeure.
12.10 This Agreement, along with the Ancillary Agreements, together
contain the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the premises, and
may not be modified or amended except by a written instrument executed by the
party sought to be charged or bound thereby.
12.11 The parties acknowledge that there may be instances during the
Term when, notwithstanding the Non-Disclosure Agreement referred to in Section
10.1 above, Inktomi will not wish to disclose or have Microsoft become aware
(through inspection or otherwise) of certain confidential and proprietary
information of Inktomi relating to its business and/or technology. In those
instances, the parties agree to work together in a spirit of cooperation to work
around such disclosure so that Inktomi is able to perform the Services to
Microsoft's reasonable satisfaction and otherwise discharge its obligations
under this Agreement without making such disclosure.
12.12 Inktomi will notify Microsoft of all meetings of Inktomi's
Board of Directors (and all meetings of any executive committee of such Board),
with such notice being given at the same time and in the same manner as Inktomi
notifies the members of such Board (or executive committee, if applicable).
Microsoft shall have the right to designate one individual to attend (at
Microsoft's sole expense) each such meeting in a non-voting, observer capacity,
and in this connection, Inktomi will provide to such individual copies of all
information packages, slides and other review and/or presentation materials (if
any) made available to members of such Board relating to Inktomi's search engine
business; provided, however, that Inktomi shall have the right without prior
written notice to exclude the Microsoft representative from any part of the
discussion (and/or refrain from delivering copies of materials) if the Board
determines in good faith that the material to be discussed is privileged or of
such a sensitive nature that such representative should not be present. In
addition, Inktomi shall provide such representative with copies of all written
materials supplied by Inktomi to potential third party investors during the
Term. All information learned by the representative by
23
attending such meeting and all written materials delivered to the representative
shall be treated as Confidential Information in accordance with the Non-
Disclosure Agreement.
13. Insurance.
---------
13.1 Throughout the term of this Agreement, Inktomi shall
procure and maintain insurance coverage. Such insurance shall be in a form and
with insurers reasonably acceptable to Microsoft, and shall comply with the
following minimum requirements:

less than [*] Dollars (US$[*]) [*] each occurrence for [*] and [*] combined.
Such policy shall be the [*] including coverage for [*].
(ii) [*] Liability Insurance with policy limits of not
less than [*] (US$[*]) each claim with a [*] of not more than [*] Dollars
(US$[*]). Such insurance shall include coverage for [*] (other than [*]) of [*]

under this Agreement.
(iii) [*]. Inktomi shall at all times comply with all
applicable workers' compensation, occupational disease, and occupational health
and safety laws, statutes, and regulations to the full extent applicable. Such
workers' compensation and occupational disease requirements shall include
coverage for all employees of Inktomi, and for all [*] by Inktomi, [*]
(including [*]) by [*] which arises out of or in connection with the performance
of this Agreement by Inktomi. Satisfaction of these requirements shall include,
but shall not be limited to:
a. full participation in any required governmental
occupational injury and/or disease insurance program, to the extent
participation in such program is mandatory in any jurisdiction, and
b. purchase of [*] and [*] insurance providing
benefits to employees in full compliance with all applicable laws,
statutes, and regulations (but only to the extent such coverage is not
provided under a mandatory government program as in a. above), and/or
c. maintenance of a legally permitted and
governmentally approved program of self insurance for [*] and [*].
24
[*]=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.
Except to the extent prohibited by law, the program of Inktomi's compliance with
[*] laws, statutes, and regulations in a., b., or c. above shall provide for a
full waiver of rights of subrogation against Microsoft, its directors, officers,
and employees. If Inktomi, or any subcontractor retained by Inktomi, fails to
effect and maintain a program of compliance with applicable [*] laws, statutes,
and regulations, and Microsoft incurs liability or fines or is required by law
to provide benefits to such employees, or to obtain coverage for such employees,
Inktomi shall indemnify Microsoft for such fines, payment of benefits to Inktomi
or subcontractor employees or their heirs or legal representatives, and/or the
cost of effecting coverage on behalf of such employees. Any amount owed to
Microsoft by Inktomi pursuant to this indemnity may be deducted from any
payments owed by Microsoft to Inktomi for performance of this Agreement.
13.2 Promptly following execution of this Agreement, Inktomi
shall provide to Microsoft proof evidencing full compliance with the insurance
requirements set forth herein. Inktomi shall notify Microsoft in writing at
least fifteen (15) days in advance if Inktomi's insurance coverage is to be
canceled or materially altered so as not to comply with the requirements of this

such notice as requested herein, and in the event of liability or expense
incurred by Microsoft as a result of such failure by Inktomi, Inktomi hereby
agrees to indemnify Microsoft for all liability and expense (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses associated with establishing the right
to indemnity) incurred by Microsoft as a result of such failure by Inktomi.

Inktomi to move the Hosting Servers pursuant to Section 2.6.2 of said Software
Hosting Agreement.
13.4 Upon termination of this Agreement, Inktomi will maintain
an extended reporting period providing that the claims first made and reported
to the insurance company within one year after the end of this Agreement will be

1. OVERVIEW
================================================================================
The goal of this document is to provide a reasonably complete list of Yukon
requirements for the Inktomi search service. Note that a number of the
requirements in this document are met by the existing search service but are
included anyway for the sake of completeness.
The Section 2 lists all requirements according to area (Performance and
Scalability, Reliability and Fault Tolerance, ...) together with information on
Target Release and Due Date as defined below. The Appendix (Section 7) follows a
similar organization and provides more detail on the requirements..
