<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
September 29, 2004, Akamai Technologies, Inc. (&#147;Akamai&#148;) and Microsoft
Corporation (&#147;Microsoft&#148;) executed an amendment (the &#147;Amendment&#148;) to the Akamai
Services Customer Agreement, dated as of September&nbsp;1, 2003, between Akamai and
Microsoft (the &#147;Microsoft Agreement&#148;). The Microsoft Agreement was previously
filed as Exhibit&nbsp;10.28 to Akamai&#146;s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;Commission&#148;) on November&nbsp;13, 2003. In
addition to being an Akamai customer, Microsoft was an early investor in
Akamai.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The material terms and conditions of the Amendment relate to changes to
the pricing applicable to Microsoft&#146;s usage of Akamai services and its minimum
monthly and quarterly usage commitment for such services. Akamai will be
seeking confidential treatment from the Commission of the pricing and
commitment provisions of the Amendment in connection with Akamai&#146;s filing of
the Amendment as an exhibit to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period
ended September&nbsp;30, 2004.
