SCHEDULE 1 CORPORATE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT METHODOLOGY

Name:

Performance Period: FY 20__

Title:

This 20__ Executive Bonus Plan sets forth your annual compensation for 20__ based on the achievement of certain corporate and individual performance objectives. In order to receive your annual cash incentive bonus, you must be an employee and a member of the Office of the CEO throughout all of 20__ and the corporate and individual objectives must be met, as described more thoroughly below. The Compensation Committee will resolve all questions arising in the administration, interpretation and application of this plan, and the Compensation Committee’s determination will be final and binding on all concerned. Where permitted by applicable law, the Compensation Committee reserves the right to modify, at its discretion and at any time, the terms of this plan, including, but not limited to, the performance objectives, targets, and payouts.

Annual Compensation Levels at Target Performance

Performance Objectives/Targets

Your 20__ cash incentive bonus is comprised of two components: corporate financial performance during Fiscal Year 20__ (80%) (the “Financial Component”) and individual 20__ performance goals¹ (20%) (the “MBO Component”).

The method for calculating corporate financial performance used to determine the Financial Component is described in the attached Schedule 1. In the event of any question as to whether the components of the Financial Component have been satisfied, the Compensation Committee shall make such determination. The amounts payable to you under the Financial Component are as follows:

Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, the Financial Components will not be paid if Akamai fails to achieve at least 94.6% of Targets and the maximum bonus payable is capped at 200% of the Financial Component.

The amount payable under the MBO Component ranges from 0% to 100% of that target ($0 up to $___________) based on the determination of whether individual objectives have been met by you. The Chief Executive Officer shall make such determination and shall report such determination to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee shall retain the right, exercisable in its discretion, to overrule the determination of the Chief Executive Officer and make an independent and binding determination as to whether you have achieved your individual objectives. Subject to the foregoing, the Chief Executive Officer’s determination will be final and binding on all concerned.³ Performance above the maximum may result in higher reward at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee.

The payment of any annual incentive bonus will be made within thirty (30) days following the filing of Akamai’s SEC 10-K filing for FY 20__ but no later than March 15, 20__.

SCHEDULE 1

CORPORATE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT METHODOLOGY

The executive shall only be eligible for the corporate performance-based bonus of the salary upon the Company’s achievement of certain financial metrics. Such financial metrics are based on target 20__ Revenue of $             million and target 20__ Normalized EPS of $             per share.

For purposes of this Agreement, such metrics shall have the following meanings:

“Revenue” shall mean the Company’s revenue for fiscal year 20__ calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America as reported in the 20__ Financial Statements.

“Normalized EPS” shall mean the Company’s annual earnings per diluted share for fiscal year 20__ excluding amortization of intangible assets, equity-related compensation, restructuring charges and benefits, certain gains and losses on equity investments, loss on early extinguishment of debt, and similar items excluded by the Company in determining normalized earnings per share in issuing its earnings announcement for fiscal year 20__.

If, on December 31, 20__, the Company is required to make periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company’s consolidated financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K shall constitute its “Public Company Financial Statements” and shall apply. If, on December 31, 20__, the Company is not required to make periodic reports under the Exchange Act, the Company’s regularly prepared annual audited financial statements prepared by management shall be its “Private Company Financial Statements” and shall apply. The applicable financial statements may be referred to herein as the “20__ Financial Statements.”

The Company’s Revenue shall be calculated as a percentage of the Company’s target revenue for fiscal year 20__ of $             million and multiplied by 0.5 (the “Revenue Percentage Component”). The Company’s Normalized EPS shall be calculated as a percentage of the Company’s target normalized earnings per share for fiscal year 20__ of $             and multiplied by 0.5 (the “Normalized EPS Component”). The sum of the Revenue Percentage Component and the Normalized EPS Component shall be the “Actual Percentage of Targets.”

1. If the Actual Percentage of Targets equals 94.6%, then the executive shall receive the Minimum Bonus for Financial Performance (the “Minimum Bonus”); provided, however, that in the event that the Company has not achieved both Revenue of $             million and Normalized EPS of $             per share, then the executive shall not be entitled to any bonus hereunder.

2. If the Actual Percentage of Targets equals 100%, then the executive shall receive the Target Bonus for Financial Performance (the “Target Bonus”).

3. If the Actual Percentage of Targets equals 108% or more, then the executive shall receive the Maximum Bonus for Financial Performance (the “Maximum Bonus”).

4. If the Actual Percentage of Targets is between 94.6% and 96.6%, then the executive shall receive a bonus equal to the sum of (i) the Minimum Bonus plus (ii) an amount equal to the product of the Minimum Bonus multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the Actual Percentage of Targets Revenue minus 94.6% and the denominator is 2%.

5. If the Actual Percentage of Targets is between 96.6% and 100%, then the executive shall receive a bonus equal to the sum of (i) the Minimum Bonus plus (ii) an amount equal to the product of the Minimum Bonus multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the Actual Percentage of Targets Revenue minus 96.6% and the denominator is 3.4%.

6. If the Actual Percentage of Targets is between 100% and 105.5%, then the executive shall receive a bonus equal to the sum of the (i) the Target Bonus plus (ii) an amount equal to the product of the Target Bonus multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the Actual Percentage of Targets Revenue minus 100% and the denominator is 5.5%.

In the event that Akamai enters into an Acquisition Transaction during 20__, then Revenue and Normalized EPS shall be adjusted to give effect to such Acquisition Transaction. An “Acquisition Transaction” means (i) the purchase of more than 50% of the voting power of an entity, (ii) any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, business combination, liquidation, dissolution or share exchange involving Akamai and an entity not previously owned by Akamai, or (iii) the purchase or other acquisition (including, without limitation, via license outside of the ordinary course of business or joint venture) of assets that constitute more than 50% of another entity’s total assets or assets that account for more than 50% of the consolidated net revenues or net income of such entity.

As soon as practicable following the closing of an Acquisition Transaction, the Compensation Committee shall make a determination of the estimated impact of the Acquisition Transaction on the Company’s 20__ Revenue and Normalized EPS. If the Acquisition Transaction is estimated to be accretive, then:

(i) in calculating Revenue for purposes of determining the Revenue Percentage Component, reported Revenue shall be reduced by the amount of estimated revenue contribution from the Acquisition Transaction; and

(ii) in calculating Normalized EPS for purposes of determining the Normalized EPS Percentage Component, Normalized EPS, as calculated based on the 20__ Financial Statements, shall be reduced by the amount of the estimated Normalized EPS contribution from the Acquisition Transaction.

If the Acquisition is estimated to be non-accretive, then:

(iii) in calculating Normalized EPS for purposes of determining the Normalized EPS Percentage Component, Normalized EPS, as calculated based on the 20__ Financial Statements, shall be increased by the amount of the estimated negative Normalized EPS impact from the Acquisition Transaction.

All determinations of the Compensation Committee regarding the estimated impact of an Acquisition Transaction shall be final, binding and non-appealable. The cumulative impact of all Acquisition Transactions shall be set forth in a statement delivered upon payment, if any, of the bonus contemplated by this plan. This plan shall be deemed to be automatically amended, without further action by the Company or the executive, to give effect to any adjustments required by this Section D.
