rights set forth in Section 10.2 below.
8.1.4 YEAR 2000 READINESS WARRANTY. Akamai warrants that the Software will be
Year 2000 Ready. "Year 2000 Ready" means the ability to: (1) accept input and

fashion, or (b) contains any libelous, defamatory, or obscene material.

such materials to the Disclosing Party upon request.

the event that the other party materially defaults in performing any obligation
under this Agreement and such default continues unremedied for a period of
thirty (30) days following, written notice of default; provided, however, that
in the event this Agreement is terminated by Customer due to Akamai's breach of
its representations under Section 8.1.3 above and failure to cure, Customer's
sole remedy shall be its election to terminate the Agreement without further
liability to either party (except for Customer's obligation to pay all accrued
and unpaid fees outstanding at the date of termination).

any installation, set-up and training fees.
10.4.2 Customer may cancel the Service at any time after the first sixty (60)
days of the Initial Term or during any Renewal Term for convenience upon written
notice to Akamai; provided, however, that if Customer cancels the Service during
the Initial Term or any Renewal Term pursuant to this Section 10.4.2, then
Customer agrees to pay to Akamai: (a) all unpaid Service fees accrued as of the
cancellation date; plus (b) an early cancellation fee equal to the minimum usage
fees (as set forth in the FREEFLOW(SM) ORDER FORM) that will become due during
the canceled portion of the Initial Term, or the Renewal Term, as applicable.
10.5 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. The provisions of Sections 3.1, 4, 7, 8, 9, 11,
12, 13, 14.4-14.8, and 14.11-14.13 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
All other rights and obligations of the parties shall cease upon termination of
this Agreement. The term of any license granted hereunder shall expire upon
expiration or termination of this Agreement.
11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
11.1 INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION. In the case of any disputes under this
Agreement, the parties shall first attempt in good faith to resolve their
dispute informally, or by means of commercial mediation, without the necessity
of a formal proceeding.
11.2 ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES.
11.2.1 Any controversy or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement,
or the breach thereof, which cannot otherwise be resolved as provided above
shall be resolved by arbitration conducted in accordance with the commercial
arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and judgment
upon the award rendered by the arbitral tribunal may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitration tribunal shall consist of a single
arbitrator mutually agreed by the parties, or in the absence of such agreement
within thirty (30) calendar days from the first referral of the dispute to the
AAA, designated by the AAA. The place of arbitration shall be Boston,
Massachusetts, U.S.A., unless the parties shall have agreed to another location
within fifteen (15) calendar days from the first referral of the dispute to the
AAA. The arbitral award shall be final and binding. The parties waive any right
to appeal the arbitral award, to the extent a right to appeal may be lawfully
waived. Each party retains the right to seek judicial assistance: (i) to compel
arbitration; (ii) to obtain interim measures of protection prior to or pending
arbitration, (iii) to seek injunctive relief in the courts of any jurisdiction
as may be necessary and appropriate to protect the unauthorized disclosure of
its proprietary or confidential information, and (iv) to enforce any decision of
the arbitrator, including the final award.
11.2.2 The arbitration proceedings contemplated by this Section shall be as
confidential and private as permitted by law. To that end, the parties shall not
disclose the existence, content or results of any proceedings conducted in
accordance with this Section, and materials submitted in connection with such
proceedings shall not be admissible in any other proceeding, provided, however,
that this confidentiality provision shall not prevent a petition to vacate or
enforce an arbitral award, and shall not bar disclosures required by law.
12. INDEMNIFICATION.
12.1 MUTUAL INDEMNIFICATION. Each party shall indemnify and hold the other,
its
8
<PAGE> 9
assignees, agents, officers and employees harmless from and against any damages

death, resulting from its or its employees or agents negligence or willful
misconduct.
12.2 AKAMAI INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS.
12.2.1 Akamai shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Customer from and
against any suit, proceeding, or assertion of a third party against Customer
based upon a claim that any of the Software, other than third party Software
delivered with or included in the Software, infringes any valid patent,
copyright, trade secret, or other intellectual property right under the laws of
the United States, provided that: (i) Customer promptly notifies Akamai, in
writing, of the suit, claim or proceeding or a threat of suit, claim or
proceeding; (ii) at Akamai's reasonable request and expense, Customer provides

determines that a claim is likely to occur, Akamai will have the right, in its
sole discretion, to either: (i) procure for Customer the right or license to
continue to use the Software free of the infringement claim; or (ii) replace or
modify the Software to make it non-infringing provided that the replacement
software substantially conforms to Akamai's then-current specification for the
Software. If these remedies are not reasonably available to Akamai, Akamai may,
at its option, terminate this Agreement and return any fees paid by Customer in
advance.
12.2.3 Despite the provisions of this Section 12.2, Akamai has no obligation
with respect to any claim of infringement that is based upon or arises out of:
(i) any modification to the Software if the modification was not made by Akamai;
or (ii) the use or combination of the Software with any hardware, software,
products, data or other materials not specified or provided by Akamai; or (iii)
Customer's use of the Services other than in accordance with the Documentation
or Akamai's written directions or policies.
12.2.4 THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 12.2 STATE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE

TRADEMARK, TRADE SECRET OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS INFRINGEMENT AND

entering into and performing its obligations under this Agreement, Akamai does
not assume and should not be exposed to the business and operational risks

hold harmless Akamai and its affiliates, licensors, suppliers, officers,
directors, employees and agents from and against any and all damage, cost,
liability, and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees)
incurred as a result of claims of customers or other third parties arising from
or connected with any Customer Content, Customer's web site(s) (including
without limitation any activities or aspects thereof or commerce conducted
thereon), or Customer's use of the Services, provided that: (i) Akamai promptly
notifies Customer, in writing, of the suit, claim or proceeding or a threat of
9
<PAGE> 10
suit, claim or proceeding; (ii) at Customer's reasonable request and expense,
Akamai provides Customer with reasonable assistance for the defense of the suit,
claim or proceeding; and (iii) Customer has sole control of the defense of any

control in the event of any inconsistency with the terms of any Schedule hereto.

1.1.1 24X7 MONITORING
Akamai staffs its NOC 24x7x365 to respond to any problem that may arise
on the FreeFlow network. All systems on the FreeFlow network are
monitored to ensure that key processes are running, systems have not
exceeded capacity, and regions are interacting properly.
1.1.2 GEOFLOW MONITORING SUITE
GeoFlow Monitoring Suite is a set of tools that provide site usage
statistics. The suits includes tools for both real-time and historic
analysis of customer data.
GeoFlow Traffic Analyzer is the real-time component of the GeoFlow
tools suite. Traffic Analyzer's multiple monitoring views enable quick
access to network and customer-specific traffic information with the
option to export data to other applications for more detailed offline
analysis.
GeoFlow Log Analyzer complements Traffic Analyzer by extending its
reporting capabilities to allow for full viewing of historical data.
Log Analyzer culls its information from existing web server log files
to provide for exploration of site traffic patters in the data.
1.1.3 RENAME APPLICATION AND PROCESS
The RENAME tool allows customers to include content for delivery via
the FreeFlow content delivery service. The RENAME application is a
small, flexible script that is run on URLs or certain pieces of content
to tag them with a customer-specific code ("Content Provider Code"),
and a unique identifier ("Fingerprint"). RENAME is a passive process,
typically run in the staging environment, as opposed to the "live"
production environment. Because each customer's needs are different,
Akamai provides initial and ongoing support for RENAME planning and
integration.
1.1.4 CONTENT PROVIDER CODE
The Content Provider Code is a numerical account reference within the
serial number portion of a RENAMEd URL. The Content Provider Code (CPC)
is used by Akamai to collect and sort customer-specific information.
The Content Provider Code is used by Akamai to represent data on the
GeoFlow Traffic Analyzer real-time reporting interface. Content
Provider Codes are also used to aggregate network utilization data for
billing and reporting to Akamai customers.
1.1.5 THE "FINGERPRINT"
Another component of the RENAMEd URL is the "Fingerprint". This is a
unique identifier, which ensures that the object or image being served
is "fresh". This feature of the RENAMEd URL is very important, as it
guarantees that the Akamai FreeFlow network will not serve "stale"
content to your users.
Posted below is an example of an XYZCO URL followed by the
corresponding RENAMEd URL:
Original URL:
Http://www.xyzco.com/foo.gif (Regular URL)
Format for RENAMEd URL:
http://serial#.akamai.com/serial#/type_code/cpc_code/fingerprint
Http://www.xyzco.com/foo.gif
URL after running RENAME:
http://a941.akamai.com/7/941/51/256097340036aa/
Http://www.xyzco.com/foo.gif

1.1.6 AKAMAI ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT
Akamai provides XYZCO with a dedicate account manager who serves as the
XYZCO advocate within the company. The account manager directs all
internal resources at Akamai on behalf of the customer, providing
proactive communications and reporting, and serves as a single point of
contact for all XYZCO requirements.
1.1.7 INVOICES
Invoices are sent on the 5th of the month in which service is
delivered. Initial fees appear on the first bill, as do any fees
associated with customer services and equipment. Fees associated with
bursting above the Committed Rate are billed in arrears for period of
usage on the following month's invoice.
2 XYZCO COMPUTER IMPLEMENTATION
Akamai will provide the consulting and engineering resources necessary
to assist XYZCO with integration of the RENAME process and other
appropriate services. After execution of the Master Services Agreement,
XYZCO and Akamai will create a plan for integration of the process for
tagging XYZCO web content for inclusion on the FreeFlow service
network.
3 XYZCO FREEFLOW SERVICE PRICING
3.1 INITIAL FEES
3.2 XYZCO MONTHLY RECURRING FEES
XYZCO will be billed at the standard 95th percentile of aggregate
FreeFlow network utilization on a monthly basis. XYZCO will have a
Committed Rate of traffic per month. Usage above the committed rate
Mbps is allowed at any time, with no premium for usage by XYZCO.
XYZCO is entering into a two-phase agreement for Akamai services. These
phases are as follows:
PHASE I
- Timeline:
- Committed Rate:
- Pricing:
- All rates are additive, applying to the aggregate XYZCO content
served from FreeFlow
PHASE II

4 SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT -- FREEFLOW SERVICE
I. Service Level Agreement:
Akamai agrees to provide a level of service demonstrating:
a) Measurable Performance Enhancement: The Akamai FreeFlow service will deliver
content measurably faster than the Customer's web site.
b) 100% Uptime: The Akamai FreeFlow service will serve content 100% of the time
without qualification.
c) Penalties: If the Akamai FreeFlow service fails to meet either of the above
service levels, the Customer will receive a credit equal to fees for the day in
which the failure occurs.
II. Metric Methods:
The following methodology will be employed to measure FreeFlow service
availability and performance enhancement:
1. Agents and Polling Frequency
A. From six (6) geographically and network-diverse locations in major
metropolitan areas, Akamai will simultaneously poll a test file
residing on the Customer's production services and on Akamai's
network. Sites will include the following areas:
Northern Virginia
New Jersey
Chicago
Houston
Los Angeles
Palo Alto
B. The polling mechanism will perform two (2) simultaneous http GET
operations:
i. one GET operation will be performed on a test file residing on
the appropriate customer server (e.g.,
http://www.customerxyz.com/images/testgif.gif)
ii. the other GET operation will be performed from the Akamai
FreeFlow Service:
(http://a564.g.akamaitech.net/7/564/24/2c1db486/
www.customerxyz.com/images/testgif.gif).
C. The test GIF will be a file of 80 Kbytes or greater in size.
D. Polling will occur at approximately 12-minute intervals.

Void 30 days
E. Based on the http GET operations described in 1.B. above, the response
times received from the two sources, (a) the Customer server, and (b)
the Akamai network, will be compared for the purpose of measuring
performance metrics and outages.
2. Performance metrics -
A. The performance metric will be based on a daily average of
performance for the FreeFlow service and the Customer's
production web server, computed from data captured across all
regions and hits. Each time will be weighted to reflect peak
traffic conditions or "primetime" usage. The primetime period
is 10 AM to 7 PM EST. All times recorded during this period
will be weighted by a factor of three. If on a given day the
Akamai weighted average time exceeds the Customer's weighted
daily average time, then the Customer will receive a credit
equivalent to fees for that day of service.
3. Outages
A. An outage is defined as a 12-minute period of consecutive
failed attempts by a single agent to "get" a file from the
FreeFlow network while succeeding to "get" the test file from
the Customer web site. If an outage is identified by this
method, the customer will receive a credit equivalent to the
fees for the day in which the failure occurred.
