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.

4.4.2 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 laws and to reasonably cooperate with and assist Inktomi, at Inktomi's request, in challenging the validity of any such Taxes.

4.4.3 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.

10.7 A breach of this Agreement by either party will also constitute a breach by such party of each and every Ancillary Agreement; and a breach by either party of any Ancillary Agreement will also consitute a breach of this Agreement by such party.

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..

EXHIBIT F ---------

Transfer by Inktomi -------------------

If Inktomi requests Microsoft's consent to a transfer as described in clause (a) of Section 12.5 of this Software Hosting Agreement to which this Exhibit F 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 the Loan Agreement) Inktomi's of, (whichever Microsoft elects) any new hosting servers beyond the Hosting Servers purchased by Inktomi under said Software Hosting Agreement 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 between the parties 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

24

termination of the Software Development Agreement and Information Services Agreement (whichever is longer);

(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;
