On April 16, 1999, Baker Fund entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (as amended and restated on September 20, 1999, the "Registration Rights Agreement") with the Issuer and other stockholders of the Issuer pursuant to which the Issuer granted Baker Fund certain registration rights with respect to certain of the Issuer's securities. Pursuant to Section 2 and Section 4 of the Registration Rights Agreement, Baker Fund was granted certain rights relating to its ability to demand that the Issuer register under the Securities Act of 1933 unregistered securities of the Issuer held by Baker Fund. Pursuant to Section 3 and Section 4 of the Registration Rights Agreement, Baker Fund was granted certain piggy-back registration rights, which, if exercised, entitle Baker Fund to participate in registered offerings by the Issuer. Pursuant to Section 11 of the Registration Rights Agreement, Baker Fund may be required to enter into a lock-up agreement under certain circumstances. The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registration Rights Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit B to this Statement. On May 7, 1999 Baker Fund acquired a Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the "Purchase Warrant") from the Issuer in connection with the acquisition of a 15% senior subordinated note in principal amount of $7,000,000. Pursuant to Section 6 of the Purchase Warrant, Baker Fund was granted certain rights relating to its ability to demand that the Issuer register under the Securities Act of 1933 unregistered securities of the Issuer held by Baker Fund. The foregoing description of the Purchase Warrant does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Warrant, which is incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit C to this Statement.

From time to time, each of the Reporting Persons may lend securities, including the Shares, to brokers, banks or other financial institutions. These loans typically obligate the borrower to return the securities, or an equal amount of securities of the same class, to the lender and typically provide that the borrower is entitled to exercise voting rights and to retain dividends during the term of the loan. From time to time, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, each of the Reporting Persons may borrow securities, including the Shares, for the

Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated
Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette
Salomon Smith Barney

c/o Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated
1585 Broadway
New York, NY  10036

Dear Sirs and Mesdames:

       The  undersigned  understands  that  Morgan  Stanley  & Co.  Incorporated
("Morgan  Stanley")  proposes  to  enter  into an  Underwriting  Agreement  (the
"Underwriting  Agreement") with Akamai Technology,  Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company") providing for the public offering (the "Public Offering") by the
several Underwriters,  including Morgan Stanley (the "Underwriters"),  of shares
(the  "Shares") of the common stock,  par value $0.01 per share,  of the Company
(the "Common Stock").

       To induce the Underwriters that may participate in the Public Offering to
continue their efforts in connection with the Public  Offering,  the undersigned
hereby  agrees  that,  without  the prior  written  consent and waiver of Morgan
Stanley on behalf of the  Underwriters,  the  undersigned  will not,  during the
period  commencing  on the date hereof and ending 180 days after the date of the
final prospectus relating to the Public Offering (the "Prospectus"),  (1) offer,
pledge,  sell,  contract  to sell,  sell any  option or  contract  to  purchase,
purchase any option or contract to sell,  grant any option,  right or warrant to
purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any
shares of Common Stock or any  securities  convertible  into or  exercisable  or
exchangeable  for Common Stock, or (2) enter into any swap or other  arrangement
that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences
of ownership of Common Stock,  whether any such transaction  described in clause
(1) or (2) above is to be  settled  by  delivery  of Common  Stock or such other
securities,  in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to the
sale of any Shares to the Underwriters  pursuant to the Underwriting  Agreement,
transactions  relating to shares of Common Stock or other securities acquired in
open market transactions after the completion of the Public Offering or the sale
or transfer of shares to the acquiror in connection with the sale of the Company
pursuant to a merger,  sale of stock, sale of assets or otherwise.  In addition,
the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley
on behalf of the Underwriters,  it will not, during the period commencing on the
date  hereof  and ending  180 days  after the date of the  Prospectus,  make any
demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares
of Common Stock or any security  convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable
for Common Stock.


Notwithstanding the foregoing (i) gifts and transfers by will or intestacy or (ii) transfers to (A) the undersigned's members, partners, affiliates or immediate family or (B) a trust, the beneficiaries of which are the undersigned and/or members of the undersigned's immediate family, shall not be prohibited by this agreement; provided, that (x) the donee or transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the foregoing in the same manner as it applies to the undersigned and (y) if the donor or transferor is a reporting person subject to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), any gifts or transfers made in accordance with this paragraph shall not require such person to, and such person shall not voluntarily, file a report of such transaction on Form 4 under the Exchange Act. "Immediate family" shall mean spouse, lineal descendants, father, mother, brother or sister of the transferor and father, mother, brother or sister of the transferor's spouse. Whether or not the Public Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Public Offering will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters. Morgan Stanley, on behalf of the Underwriters, may, in its sole discretion, waive or amend any restriction contained in any lock-up agreement with a shareholder of the Company; provided, that, if any shareholder listed on -------- ---- Exhibit A hereto (the "Permitted Seller") sells in excess of an aggregate of 10,000 Shares pursuant to any such waiver or amendment, the undersigned shall be permitted to sell that percentage of his or her total number of Shares that equals the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the number of Shares in excess of 10,000 that are sold by the Permitted Seller pursuant to such waiver or amendment, by (y) the total number of Shares held by the Permitted Seller prior to such sale. This agreement shall automatically terminate if any of the persons listed on Schedule A hereto fail to sign a lock-up substantially in the form hereof prior to the date of the Prospectus, if the Underwriting Agreement is not entered into by December 31, 1999 or if the Underwriters do not purchase the Shares and the Underwriting Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms.
