        THIS EMPLOYEE LOAN AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is entered into as of the
30th day of April, 2001, by and between INKTOMI CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and EDWARD AUGUSTUS HALLY ("Employee") and MARGARET
ELIZABETH MASTERSON (the wife of Employee), who are together herein referred to
as the "Borrowers".

                                    RECITALS

                A. Employee is employed by the Company as its Senior Vice
President and General Manager of the Content Networking Solutions Group.

                B. Borrowers have found it necessary to relocate their residence
in order for Employee to become an employee of the Company.

                C. The Company and Borrowers desire that the Company lend to
Borrowers the sum of One Million Seven Hundred Thirty-Five Thousand Dollars
($1,735,000.00) to assist Borrowers in purchasing a new principal residence.

        NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Borrowers agree as follows:

                                    AGREEMENT

        PAYMENT: The Company will lend to Borrowers the amount of One Million
Seven Hundred Thirty-Five Thousand Dollars ($1,735,000.00) (the "Loan"), which
amount shall be used by Borrowers for the sole purpose of purchasing a new
residence located at 17 Acorn Lane in the City of Los Altos, County of Santa
Clara, California (the "Property") pursuant to the terms and conditions set
forth herein.

        CONDITIONS PRECEDENT: The Company's obligation to extend the Loan to
Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement is expressly conditioned upon the
satisfaction of or waiver by the Company of all of the following conditions
precedent, each of which is exclusively for the benefit of the Company:

        Borrowers shall have delivered to the Company each of the following
(herein referred to as "Loan Documents"):

Hundred Thirty-Five Thousand Dollars ($1,735,000.00) in substantially the same
form as Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Note"), with all uncompleted information
fully completed; and

        One (1) fully executed, validly acknowledged deed of trust and the rider
thereto, encumbering the Property as security for the Note, in substantially the
same form as Exhibit B attached hereto, with all uncompleted information fully
completed (the "Deed of Trust"); and

                                      -1-
<PAGE>   2

        Two (2) fully executed Promissory Note and Truth-In-Lending Disclosures,
in substantially the same form as Exhibit C attached hereto, with all
uncompleted information fully completed (the "Truth-in-Lending"); and

        Two (2) fully executed Certificates of Employee, in substantially the
same form as Exhibit D attached hereto, with all uncompleted information fully
completed (the "Employee Certificate").

        Lender shall have received from First American Title Guaranty Company
(the "Title Company") a title insurance policy insuring the Deed of Trust in the
amount of the Note as a first lien on the Property, subject only to the
exceptions to title described in Items Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4 of that certain
Preliminary Report prepared by the Title Company, dated April 5, 2001, and
bearing Order No. 660189, and including the following title insurance
endorsements: 100, 103.7, and 110.9.

        Lender shall have received an appraisal in form and prepared by an
appraiser approved by Lender determining that the appraised value of the
Property is at least $1,735,000.00.

        Lender shall have received a copy of a U.S. FIRPTA certificate, and the
state equivalent certificate, executed by Dr. Eugene Bauer and Gloria Bauer,
acceptable to Lender and providing that no withholding of any portion of the
purchase price must be withheld.

        BORROWERS' REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES: Borrowers hereby make the
following representations and warranties to the Company, which representations
and warranties shall be true and correct as of the date of the close of escrow
for Borrowers' purchase of the Property, and Borrowers acknowledge that the
Company is relying on such representations in making the Loan:

        At the closing of the Loan the Borrowers will have good and marketable
title to the Property free and clear of any security interests, liens or
encumbrances securing monetary obligations.

        The consent of no other person or entity is required to grant the
Company the security interest in the Property evidenced by the Deed of Trust.

        There are no actions, proceedings, claims or disputes pending or, to
Borrowers' knowledge, threatened against or affecting Borrowers, the Property,
or any other properties of Borrowers.

        BORROWERS' ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS: Borrowers shall take any and all
further actions that may from time to time be required to ensure that the Deed
of Trust creates a valid first priority lien on the Property in favor of the
Company, which shall secure the Note. Borrowers shall not further encumber the
Property or permit any lien to encumber the Property. Upon request by Company,
but not more frequently than once during any calendar year unless Company
believes in good faith that a title issue exists, Borrowers shall furnish
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that: (i) Borrowers have good
and marketable title to the Property; (ii) the consent of no other person or
entity is required to grant a first priority security interest in the Property
to the Company; (iii) the Deed of Trust is a first priority security interest in
the Property, and (iv) there are no other deeds of trust, mortgages or
encumbrances against the Property. If it should be hereafter determined that
there are defects against title or matters which could result in defects against
title to the Property or

                                      -2-
<PAGE>   3
that the consent of another person or entity is required to grant to and perfect
in the Company a valid first-priority lien on the Property, Borrowers shall
promptly take all action necessary to remove such defects and to obtain such
consent and grant (or cause to be granted) and perfect such lien on the
Property. Failure of the Deed of Trust to be a valid first lien against the
Property shall be deemed a Maturity Event, as defined in the Note.

        REPAYMENT OF LOAN: Borrowers shall pay to the Company the outstanding
principal balance of the Note, together with all accrued, but unpaid interest
thereon, and all other sums due hereunder, under the Note, or under any other
document executed by Borrowers in connection herewith in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Note or such other document.

        MATURITY EVENT: The Note shall immediately become due and payable,
without notice or demand, upon the occurrence of any "Maturity Event" as defined
in the Note.

        INTEREST PAYABLE BY BORROWERS: Interest shall accrue on the unpaid
principal amounts of the Note at the rate specified in the Note and shall be
payable on or before April ___, 2005.

        ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This Agreement, together with the Loan Documents,
constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties
hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any
term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged, or terminated other than by a
written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such
amendment, waiver, discharge, or termination is sought. No waiver of any
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be effective unless
in writing and the waiver of any one provision shall not be deemed a waiver of
any other provision unless expressly stated in writing. All rights and remedies
of the Company described herein and in any other documents or instruments
evidencing or securing the loan (including, without limitation, the Loan
Documents) shall be cumulative and not restrictive of any other rights or
remedies available under any other document or instrument, at law or in equity.

        NO COVENANT FOR EMPLOYMENT OR ADVANCES: Borrowers understand and
acknowledge that this Agreement does not modify Employee's at-will status at the
Company and does not constitute an employment agreement or a promise by the
Company to continue Employee's employment. Either the Company or Employee may
terminate such employment relationship at any time, with or without cause.

        NOTICES: All notices and other communications required or permitted
hereunder shall be in writing and may be given by (a) personal delivery, (b)
certified mail, postage prepaid, return-receipt requested, (c) courier service,
fully prepaid for next business day delivery, or (d) facsimile. Any such notice
shall be properly addressed to the address of the parties set forth on the
signature page hereof and shall be deemed to have been given (i) if personally
delivered, when delivered, (ii) if by certified mail, return-receipt requested,
when delivered or refused, (iii) if by courier service, on the next business day
following deposit, cost prepaid, with Federal Express or similar private
carrier, or (iv) if by facsimile, instantaneously upon confirmation of receipt
of facsimile. The Company or Borrowers may change their address by giving notice
of the same in accordance with this paragraph.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4
The term "business day" shall mean a day on which national banks are open for
business in San Francisco, California.

        ASSIGNMENT: Borrowers may not assign any of their rights and/or duties
under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company, which
consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of Company. All of the rights
and/or duties of the Company under the Loan Documents, or any of them, shall be
freely assignable. Subject to the foregoing, the rights and obligations of the
Borrowers and Company under the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of the Borrowers and Company and their respective personal
representatives, successors, heirs, and permitted assigns.

        INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES: Borrowers hereby acknowledge that the Company
has made no representation or warranty to Borrowers concerning the income tax
consequences of the loan to Borrowers and Borrowers shall be solely responsible
for ascertaining and bearing such tax consequences.

        GOVERNING LAW: This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the
laws of the State of California.

        HEADINGS: The titles and headings of the various paragraphs hereof are
intended for means of reference and are not intended to place any construction
on the provisions hereof.

        INVALIDITY: If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or
unenforceable the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby and every
provision hereof shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted
by law.

        COUNTERPARTS: This Agreement may be executed in one (1) or more separate
counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an
original. Such counterparts, together, shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

        MISCELLANEOUS: Time is of the essence of this Agreement, the Loan
Documents, and any other document executed by Borrowers in connection therewith.
If any action shall be commenced between the parties with respect to the Loan,
the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees
and expenses from the non-prevailing party or parties. Liability hereunder shall
be joint and several both between Borrowers and among all other persons and
entities now or hereafter liable for all or any part of the Loan.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement as of
the date first written above.

BORROWERS:                                  THE COMPANY:

             (HOUSING RELOCATION LOAN - I.R.C. Section 1.7872-5-(T))

April 30, 2001                                                     $1,735,000.00

_____________________, California

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, EDWARD AUGUSTUS HALLY ("Employee") and
MARGARET ELIZABETH MASTERSON, husband and wife (jointly and severally,
"Borrowers"), promise to pay to the order of INKTOMI CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation ("Lender"), at 4100 East Third Ave., MS FC2-6, Foster City,
California 94404 (or at such other place as Lender may from time to time
designate by written notice to Borrowers), in lawful money of the United States,
the principal sum of One Million Seven Hundred Thirty-Five Thousand Dollars
($1,735,000.00), together with interest thereon at the rate of four and
ninety-four-hundredths percent (4.94%) per annum.

        2. PAYMENT: The principal and interest due pursuant to this Note shall
be paid as follows:

                A. Upon the occurrence of a Maturity Event (as defined herein),
Borrowers shall pay to Lender all amounts due under this Note, including all
unpaid principal and all accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount
hereof.

                B. Subject to Section 3 below, the entire outstanding principal
balance of this Note, plus any accrued, but unpaid interest thereon, and any
other sum due hereunder shall be due and payable in full on or before the fourth
(4th) anniversary date of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
Employee's employment with Lender is terminated by Lender, with or without
cause, then interest on this Note shall become due and payable in arrears on
December 31st of the year following the year in which the termination became
effective, and on each year thereafter until the fourth (4th) anniversary date
of this Note, when all accrued but unpaid interest shall be payable. (For
example, if Lender terminates Employee's employment effective June 1, 2001, then
all accrued interest shall become due and payable on December 31, 2002 and on
each subsequent December 31st until the maturity date of this Note.)

                C. Principal and interest shall be payable in lawful money of
the United States. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve (12) months, each of thirty (30) days, and shall compound
annually. Each payment shall be applied first to accrued

<PAGE>   7

interest, then to any other amounts (other than principal) payable hereunder as
designated by Lender, and then to reduce principal.

                D. All payments made hereunder shall be made by Borrowers free
and clear of, and without deduction for, any and all present and future taxes,
levies, charges, deductions and withholdings. Borrowers shall pay upon demand
any stamp or other taxes, levies or charges of any jurisdiction with respect to
the execution, delivery, performance and enforcement of this Note.

        3. SECURITY: This Note is secured by that certain Deed of Trust (the
"Deed of Trust") of even date herewith made by Borrowers, as trustor, to First
American Land Title Insurance Company, as trustee, for the benefit of Lender, as
beneficiary, which shall be recorded in the Official Records of the County of
Santa Clara, State of California, encumbering certain real property commonly
known as 17 Acorn Lane in the City of Los Altos, County of Santa Clara, State of
California (the "Property"), described with particularity in the Deed of Trust,
which Borrowers intend to occupy as their principal place of residence. The Deed
of Trust provides, among other things, as follows:

                "If the Trustors (herein the Borrowers) shall sell, convey,
                encumber, grant any lien upon, or otherwise alienate the
                Property, or any part thereof, or any interest therein, or shall
                be divested of their respective title or any interest therein in
                any manner or way, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, without
                the written consent of the Beneficiary (herein the Lender) being
                first had and obtained, Beneficiary shall have the right, at its
                option, except as prohibited by law, to declare any indebtedness
                or obligations secured hereby (including, without limitation,
                the Note), irrespective of the maturity date specified therein,
                immediately due and payable."

        4. MATURITY EVENT: Upon the occurrence of a Maturity Event (as
hereinafter defined), the entire unpaid principal balance, together with all
accrued but unpaid interest thereon, and all other sums due hereunder, shall
become immediately due and payable without further demand or notice to
Borrowers. To the extent permitted by law, any of the following events shall be
a "Maturity Event" under this Note and the Deed of Trust:

                A. Borrowers shall fail to pay any amount of the principal or
interest on this Note when due and shall fail to cure such non-payment within
ten (10) days following written notice of such delinquency.

                B. There shall occur a breach or default in the performance of
any obligation of Borrowers contained in this Note, the Deed of Trust, the
Employee Loan Agreement executed concurrently herewith (the "Loan Documents"),
or any other agreement now or hereafter entered into by either of the Borrowers,
on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, with respect to the
Property.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>   8

                C. There shall occur a breach or default in the performance of
any obligation of Borrowers in any other deed of trust or other security
instrument (whether superior or subordinate in rights to the Deed of Trust) now
or hereafter encumbering the Property.

                D. Borrowers shall sell, convey, encumber, grant any lien upon,
or otherwise alienate the Property, or any part thereof, or any interest
therein, or shall be divested of their title or any interest therein in any
manner or way, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, without the written consent
of the Lender being first had and obtained.

                E. Borrowers (i) admit in writing their inability to pay debts,
(ii) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iii) file a voluntary
petition in bankruptcy, effect a plan or other arrangement with creditors,
liquidate their assets under arrangement with creditors, or liquidate their
assets under court supervision, (iv) have an involuntary petition in bankruptcy
filed against them that is not discharged within sixty (60) days after such
petition is filed, or (v) apply for or permit the appointment of a receiver or
trustee or custodian for any of their property or assets which shall not have
been discharged within sixty (60) days after the date of appointment.

                F. The occurrence of the fourth (4th) anniversary of the date of
this Note.

                G. The occurrence of the ninetieth (90th) day following the
termination by Employee of his employment with Lender for any reason (other than
Lender's termination of such employment, with or without cause, or death).

                H. Any representation or warranty of Borrowers contained herein
or in any certificate or agreement entered into between Borrowers for the
benefit of Lender in connection herewith shall prove to be false or misleading
in any material respect.

                I. The Deed of Trust is not recorded against the Property at the
closing of the purchase by Borrowers of the Property or at any time ceases to be
a valid first priority lien on the Property.

                J. Any lien or other monetary encumbrance is imposed against the
Property; provided, however, that in the event that a lien or monetary
encumbrance is imposed against the Property without the consent of any
Borrowers, a Maturity Event shall not occur until the lien or other monetary
encumbrance is imposed against the Property for a period of at least thirty (30)
days.

                K. One (1) year following the death of the Employee.

                L. Borrowers default in their obligation to pay any sum or to
perform any obligation, which is secured by a deed of trust, mortgage, lien, or
other encumbrance on the Property (other than the Deed of Trust).

        5. LATE CHARGE: Because the actual damage to Lender resulting from any
default by Borrowers in the payment of any installment of principal and/or
interest when due is impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain, in
addition to its other rights and remedies, Lender shall be entitled

                                      -3-
<PAGE>   9

to recover six percent (6%) of the amount of any such delinquent installment as
liquidated damages, if Borrowers fail to pay any installment within ten (10)
days after Borrowers receive written notice from Lender of the amount due and
owing.

        6. BORROWERS' REPRESENTATIONS: Borrowers hereby make the following
representations and warranties to the Lender and acknowledge that Lender is
relying on such representations in making the loan:

                A. Borrowers shall have good and marketable title to the
Property free and clear of any security interests, liens or encumbrances other
than the Deed of Trust in favor of Lender securing this Note;

                B. The consent of no other person or entity is required to grant
to Lender the security interest in the Property evidenced by the Deed of Trust;

                C. There are no actions, proceedings, claims, or disputes
pending or, to the Borrowers' knowledge, threatened against or affecting the
Borrowers or the Property.

        7. BORROWERS' ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS: Borrowers shall take any and all
further actions that may from time to time be required to ensure that the Deed
of Trust creates a valid first priority lien on the Property in favor of the
Lender as security for the Note. Borrowers shall not further encumber the
Property or permit any lien to encumber the Property. Upon request by Lender,
but not more frequently than once during any calendar year, Borrowers shall
furnish evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Lender that: (i) Borrowers have
good and marketable title to the Property; (ii) the consent of no other person
or entity is required to grant a first priority security interest in the
Property to the Company; (iii) the Deed of Trust is a first priority security
interest in the Property, and (iv) there are no other deeds of trust, mortgages
or encumbrances against the Property. If it should be hereafter determined that
there are defects against title or matters which could result in defects against
title to the Property, or that the consent of another person or entity is
required to grant to and perfect in the Lender a valid first-priority lien on
the Property, Borrowers shall promptly take all action necessary to remove such
defects and to obtain such consent and grant (or cause to be granted) and
perfect such lien on the Property. Failure of the Deed of Trust to be a valid
first lien against the Property shall be deemed a Maturity Event as aforesaid.

        8. NOTICE: This Note is subject to Section 2924(i) and 2966 of the
California Civil Code which provides that the holder of this Note shall give
written notice to Borrowers or their successors-in-interest, of prescribed
information (as set forth in said Civil Code Sections) at least ninety (90) days
and not more than one hundred and fifty (150) days before any Balloon Payment is
due.

        9. ATTORNEYS' FEES: In the event of Borrowers' default hereunder,
Borrowers shall pay all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys'
fees incurred by the holder hereof on account of such collection, whether or not
suit is filed hereon.

        10. WAIVER: The waiver by Lender of any breach of or default under any
term, covenant or condition contained herein or in any other agreement referred
to above shall not be deemed to be a

                                      -4-
<PAGE>   10

waiver of any subsequent breach of or default under the same or any other such
term, covenant or condition.

        11. NO USURY: Borrowers hereby represent and warrant that at no time
shall the proceeds of the indebtedness evidenced hereby be used "primarily for
personal, family, or household purposes" as that term is defined and used in
Article XV of the California Constitution (as amended from time to time).
Anything in this Note to the contrary notwithstanding, it is expressly
stipulated and agreed that the intent of Borrowers and Lender are to comply at
all times with all usury and other laws relating to this Note. If the laws of
the State of California would now or hereafter render usurious, or are revised,
repealed or judicially interpreted so as to render usurious, any amount called
for under this Note, or contracted for, charged or received with respect to the
loan evidenced by this Note, or if any prepayment by Borrowers results in
Borrowers having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by law, then it
is Borrowers' and Lender's express intent that all excess amounts theretofore
collected by Lender be credited to the principal balance of this Note (or, if
this Note has been paid in full, refunded to Borrowers), and the provisions of
this Note immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts therefor collectible
hereunder reduced, without the necessity of execution of any new document, so as
to comply with the then applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the
fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder.

        12. PREPAYMENT: Borrowers may prepay all or any portion of this Note at
any time prior to the Maturity Date, with no premium or penalty, and interest

this Agreement such federal, state or local taxes as shall be required to be
