ARTICLE 2
Plan of Reorganization
2.1 Conversion of Shares.
--------------------
2.1.1 Conversion of Sub Stock. At the Effective Time, each share
-----------------------
of Sub common stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time will by virtue of the Merger and without the need for any further
action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into and become one (1)
share of Velogic Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately after
the Effective Time, and the shares of Velogic Common Stock into which the shares
of Sub Common Stock are so converted in the Merger will be the only shares of
capital stock of Velogic that are issued and outstanding immediately after the
Effective Time.
2.1.2 Conversion of Velogic Common Stock and Velogic Preferred
--------------------------------------------------------
Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective
-----
Time, each share of Velogic Common Stock and of Velogic Preferred Stock that is
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will, by virtue
of the Merger and without the need for any further action on the part of the
holder thereof (except as expressly provided herein), be converted into and
represent the right to receive the number of shares (or fraction of a share) of
Keynote Common Stock that is equal to the Conversion Number plus, if applicable,
the number of shares as provided for in Schedule 2.1.2 to this Agreement. The
preceding provisions of this Section 2.1.2 are subject to the provisions of
Section 2.1.3 (regarding rights of holders of Dissenting Shares), Section 2.1.4
(regarding the elimination of fractional shares of Keynote Common Stock) and
Section 2.5 (regarding the withholding of Escrow Shares).
2.1.3 Dissenting Shares. Holders of shares of Velogic Common
-----------------
Stock who have complied with all requirements for perfecting shareholders'
rights of appraisal, as set forth in Section 1301 of California Law, shall be
entitled to their rights under the California Law with respect to such shares
("Dissenting Shares") and such Dissenting Shares will not be converted into
---
shares of Keynote Common Stock in the Merger; provided, however, that shares of
-------- -------
the capital stock of Velogic that are outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time of the Merger and with respect to which dissenting shareholders'
rights of appraisal under the California have not been properly perfected will,
when such dissenting shareholders' rights can no longer be legally exercised
under the California Law, be converted into Keynote Common Stock as provided in
Section 2.1.2.
2.1.4 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Keynote Common
-----------------
Stock will be issued in connection with the Merger. In lieu thereof, each holder
of Velogic Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of
a share of Keynote Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1.2, computed after
aggregating all shares of Keynote Common Stock to be received by such holder
pursuant to Section 2.1.2, will instead receive from Keynote, upon surrender of
such holder's Velogic Certificates (as such term is defined in Section 7.2.1)
pursuant to Article 7 hereof, an amount of cash (rounded to the nearest cent)
equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) the Keynote Average Price Per
Share by (b) the fraction of a share of Keynote Common Stock that such holder
would otherwise have been entitled to receive.
-4-
2.1.5 Continuation of Vesting and Repurchase Rights. If any
---------------------------------------------
shares of Velogic Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time are at the Effective Time unvested or are subject to a repurchase option
(other than a right of first refusal) or any other condition providing that such
shares may be forfeited to Velogic upon any termination of the shareholder's
employment, directorship or other relationship with Velogic (and/or any
affiliate of Velogic) under the terms of any restricted stock purchase
agreement, stock option agreement (including any stock option agreement under
the Velogic Plan (as defined in Section 2.3 below)) or other agreement with
Velogic ("Unvested Velogic Shares"), then such repurchase option or other
condition shall be assigned to Keynote and the shares of Keynote Common Stock
issued upon the conversion of such Unvested Velogic Shares in the Merger will
continue to be unvested and will continue to be subject to the same repurchase
options or conditions, as applicable, immediately following the Effective Time
as they were subject to immediately prior to the Effective Time. The
certificates representing such shares of Keynote Common Stock shall accordingly
be marked with appropriate legends noting such repurchase options or other
conditions. Velogic shall take all actions that may be necessary to ensure that,
from and after the Effective Time, Keynote is entitled to exercise any such
repurchase option or other right set forth in any such restricted stock purchase
agreement or other agreement (other than a right of first refusal).
2.2 Adjustments for Capital Changes. Notwithstanding the
-------------------------------
provisions of Section 2.1, if Keynote recapitalizes, either through a
subdivision (or stock split) of any of its outstanding shares of Keynote Common
Stock into a greater number of such shares or a combination (or reverse stock
split) of any of its outstanding shares of Keynote Common Stock into a lesser
number of such shares, or reorganizes, reclassifies or otherwise changes its
outstanding shares of Keynote Common Stock into the same or a different number
of shares of other classes or series of Keynote stock (other than through a
subdivision or combination of shares provided for in the preceding clause), or
declares a dividend or other distribution on its outstanding shares payable in
shares of Keynote Common Stock in shares or securities convertible into shares
of Keynote Common Stock and/or other Keynote equity securities (each, a "Capital
Change"), at any time after the Agreement Date and prior to the Effective Time,
then the Keynote Average Price Per Share and the Conversion Number will be
proportionally and equitably adjusted.
2.3 Velogic Options. At the Effective Time, all outstanding options
---------------
(collectively, "Velogic Options") to purchase Velogic Common Stock, including
all Velogic Options granted under Velogic's 1998 Stock Option Plan (the "Velogic
Plan") will be assumed by Keynote and Velogic's repurchase right with respect to
any unvested shares of Velogic Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of
Velogic Options shall be assigned to Keynote. Each Velogic Option so assumed by
Keynote shall be entitled, in accordance with the terms of such option, to
purchase after the Effective Time that number of shares of Keynote Common Stock,
determined by multiplying (a) the number of shares of Velogic Common Stock
subject to such Velogic Option at the Effective Time by (b) the Conversion
Number, and the exercise price per share for each such assumed Option will equal
the exercise price of the Velogic Option immediately prior to the Effective Time
divided by the Conversion Number. Holders of Velogic Options at the Effective
Time shall be entitled to receive a portion of any Earnout Amount (as defined in
Schedule 2.1.2 to this Agreement) as provided in Schedule 2.1.2 to this
Agreement. If the foregoing calculation results in an assumed Velogic Option
being exercisable (i) for a fraction of a share of Keynote Common Stock, then
the number of shares of Keynote Common Stock
-5-
subject to such option will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of
shares of Keynote Common Stock, or (b) for a fraction of a cent, then the
exercise price of such Velogic Option will be rounded up to the nearest cent.
The term, exercisability, vesting schedule, status as an "incentive stock
option" under Section 422A of the Code, if applicable, and all other terms of
the Velogic Options will otherwise be unchanged. Continuous employment with
Velogic will be credited to an optionee for purposes of determining the number
of shares that are vested after the Effective Time.
2.4 Velogic Warrants. At the Effective Time, all then outstanding
----------------
warrants or rights to purchase or otherwise acquire securities that are
exercisable or convertible, ultimately or potentially, into any Velogic Common
Stock (each, a "Velogic Warrant"), excluding the $2.0 million principal amount
of promissory notes dated March 9, 2000 (the "Notes") together with the warrants
issued in connection therewith (the "Note Warrants") which Notes will become due
and payable and which Note Warrants will be cancelled at the Closing as provided
in Section 9.20, shall by virtue of the Merger, and without any further action
on the part of any holder thereof, be assumed by Keynote and converted into a
warrant or like security (each, a "Keynote Warrant") to purchase that number of
shares of Keynote Common Stock determined by multiplying (a) the number of
shares of Velogic Common Stock that are subject to such Velogic Warrant
immediately prior to the Effective Time by (b) the Conversion Number, at an
exercise price per share of such Keynote Common Stock equal to the exercise
price per share of Velogic Common Stock that was in effect for such Velogic
Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Conversion
Number. If the foregoing calculation results in an assumed Velogic Warrant being
exercisable (a) for a fraction of a share of Keynote Common Stock, then the
number of shares of Keynote Common Stock subject to such Keynote Warrant will be
rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of Keynote Common Stock, or (b)
for a fraction of a cent, then the exercise price of such Velogic Warrant will
be rounded up to the nearest cent. The exercisability period and other terms and
conditions of the Velogic Warrants will remain unchanged.
2.5 Escrow of Shares. At the Effective Time, Keynote will withhold
----------------
from the shares of Keynote Common Stock to be issued to Velogic Shareholders in
the Merger upon conversion of their Velogic Common Stock and Velogic Preferred
Stock pursuant to Section 2.1.2 above, twenty percent (20%) of the shares of
Keynote Common Stock issued to such Velogic Shareholders pursuant to Section
2.1.2 (such withheld shares of Keynote Common Stock and any dividends or
distributions received in respect of such shares of Keynote Common Stock, being
hereinafter referred to as the "Escrow Shares"), and will hold the certificates
representing such Escrow Shares as security for the Velogic Shareholders'
indemnification obligations for Damages (as defined in Section 11.2) under
Article 11 hereof. The Escrow Shares will be represented by a certificate or
certificates issued in the names of each Velogic Shareholder in proportion to
each such shareholder's interest therein and will be held by Keynote, subject to
the terms and conditions of Article 11 hereof, until the Release Date (as
defined in Section 11.1 hereof).
2.6 Effects of the Merger. At and upon the Effective Time of the
---------------------
Merger:
(a) the separate existence of Sub will cease and Sub will be
merged with and into Velogic, and Velogic will be the surviving corporation of
the Merger (sometimes hereinafter
-6-
referred to as the "Surviving Corporation") pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement and the Certificates of Merger;
(b) the Certificate of Incorporation of Sub will be the Articles
of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective
Time;
(c) the Bylaws of Sub will be the Bylaws of the Surviving
Corporation immediately after the Effective Time;
(d) each share of Velogic Common Stock and of Velogic Preferred
Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be

(e) each Velogic Option and Velogic Warrant that is outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time will be assumed and converted as
provided in this Article 2;
(f) each share of Sub common stock that is outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into one (1) share of
Velogic Common Stock as provided in Section 2.1.1;
(g) the officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately after
the Effective Time will be those individuals who were the officers of Sub
immediately prior to the Effective Time, and each such individual shall,
immediately after the Effective Time, hold the same office or offices of the
Surviving Corporation as the office or offices that such individual held with
Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time;
(h) the members of the Board of Directors of the Surviving
Corporation immediately after the Effective Time will be the members of the
Board of Directors of Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time; and
(i) the Merger will, from and after the Effective Time, have all
of the effects provided by applicable law.
2.7 Securities Law Issues; Registration Rights. Keynote shall issue
------------------------------------------
the shares of Keynote Common Stock to be issued to the Velogic Shareholders in
the Merger pursuant to Section 2.1.2 and to be issuable to holders of Velogic
Warrants pursuant to Section 2.4 pursuant to an exemption or exemptions from
registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), and/or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and
the exemption from qualification under the laws of the State of California and
other applicable state securities laws. Keynote and Velogic shall comply with
all applicable provisions of, and rules under, the Securities Act in connection
with offering and issuance of shares of Keynote Common Stock in the Merger.
Keynote will cause to be filed with the SEC a shelf registration statement on
Form S-3 providing for the resale by the Velogic Shareholders of the shares of
Keynote Common Stock issued to them in the Merger pursuant to Section 2.1.2

-----------------------
Agreement as a tax-free plan of reorganization and to consummate the Merger in
accordance with the provisions of
-7-
Section 368(a) of the Code. Each of the parties hereto agrees to cooperate in
order to qualify the transaction as a tax-free reorganization, and to report the
Merger for federal and state income tax purposes in a manner consistent with
such characterization. Each party hereto represents and warrants to the other
parties that it has not taken any action or knows of any fact, agreement or
other circumstance that is reasonably likely to prevent the Merger from
qualifying as a reorganization under Section 368(a) to the Code. From and after
the Effective Time, neither Keynote, Sub nor Velogic shall take any action that
could reasonably be expected to cause the Merger not to be treated as
reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code. Keynote, Sub and Velogic
covenant to each other that neither Keynote, Sub nor Velogic nor any of their
respective subsidiaries has taken or will take any such action inconsistent with
any representation, warranty, or covenant made or to be made in connection with
opinions to be delivered pursuant to Sections 8.8 and 9.7 hereof.
2.9 Further Assurances. If, at any time before or after the Effective
------------------
Time, Keynote believes or is advised that any further instruments, deeds,
assignments or assurances are reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate
the Merger or to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement at or after
the Effective Time, then Keynote, the Surviving Corporation and their respective
officers and directors will execute and deliver all such proper deeds,
assignments, instruments and assurances and do all other things necessary or
desirable to consummate the Merger and to carry out the purposes and intent of

stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for any shares of
Velogic's capital stock or obligating Velogic to grant, issue, extend, or enter
into any such option, warrant, convertible security or other security, call,

contemplated by the Voting Agreements, there are no voting agreements, voting
trusts or proxies applicable to any of Velogic's outstanding capital stock or
any Velogic Options or to the conversion of any shares of Velogic's capital
stock in the Merger pursuant to any agreement or obligation to which Velogic is
a party or, to Velogic's knowledge, pursuant to any other agreement or
obligation. Velogic is not under any obligation to register under the Securities
Act any of its presently
-10-
outstanding shares of stock or other securities or any stock or other securities
that may be subsequently issued.
3.5 No Conflict. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor
-----------
any of the Velogic Ancillary Agreements by Velogic, nor the consummation of the
Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, will
conflict with, or (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) result in a
termination, breach, impairment or violation of, or constitute a default under:
(a) any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of Velogic as
currently in effect; (b) any federal, state, local or foreign judgment, writ,
decree, order, statute, rule or regulation applicable to Velogic or any of its
material assets or properties; or (c) any material instrument, agreement,
contract, undertaking, understanding, letter of intent, memorandum of
understanding or commitment (whether verbal or in writing) to which Velogic is a
party or by which Velogic or any of its material assets or properties are bound,
except in the case of (b) or (c) for any such conflicts, terminations, breaches,
impairments, violations or defaults which would not have a Material Adverse
Effect on Velogic or which would not have a material adverse effect on Velogic's
ability to consummate the Merger. Neither Velogic's entering into this Agreement
nor the consummation of the Merger or the transactions contemplated thereby will
give rise to, or trigger the application of, any rights of any third party that
would come into effect upon the effectiveness of the Merger. The consummation of
the Merger by Velogic will not require the consent, release, waiver or approval
of any third party (including the consent of any party required to be obtained
in order to keep any agreement between such party and Velogic in effect
following the Merger or to provide that Velogic is not in breach or violation of
any such agreement following the Merger), other than the approval of this
Agreement and the Merger by Velogic Shareholders under California law except
where the failure to obtain such consent, release, waiver or approval would not
have a Material Adverse Effect on Velogic.
3.6 Litigation. There is no action, suit, arbitration, mediation,
----------
proceeding, claim or investigation pending against Velogic (or to Velogic's
knowledge against any officer, director, employee or agent of Velogic in their
capacity as such or relating to their employment, services or relationship with
Velogic) before any court, Governmental Authority or arbitrator, nor, to
Velogic's knowledge, has any such action, suit, arbitration, mediation,
proceeding, claim or investigation been threatened. There is no judgment,
decree, injunction, rule or order of any court, Governmental Authority or
arbitrator outstanding against Velogic. To Velogic's knowledge, there is no
basis for any person to assert a claim against Velogic based upon: (a) Velogic's
negotiating or entering into this Agreement or any Velogic Ancillary Agreement
or consummating the Merger or any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or any Velogic Ancillary Agreement; (b) any confidentiality or similar

accordance with the provisions of Article 10. As used herein, the term
"Velogic's Total Assets" means Velogic's total assets as determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis
consistent with prior periods.

possess, sell, license, copy, distribute, market, advertise and/or dispose of
all Intellectual Property (as defined below) to the extent necessary or required
for the conduct of the Velogic Business (as defined below) (such Intellectual
Property being hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Velogic IP Rights"),
and such rights to use, possess, sell, license, copy, distribute, market,

development tools, designs, blueprints, specifications, technical drawings (or
similar information in electronic format) and all documentation and media
constituting, describing or relating to the foregoing, including, without
limitation, manuals, programmers' notes, memoranda and records. As used in this
Section 3.13, "Velogic-Owned IP Rights" means Velogic IP Rights which are owned
or exclusively licensed to Velogic; and "Velogic-Licensed IP Rights" means
Velogic IP Rights which are not Velogic-Owned IP Rights. By way of
clarification, if a vendor grants certain license rights to Velogic, only the
license rights granted by the vendor to Velogic is included under the term
Velogic-Licensed IP Rights and Velogic IP Rights.
3.13.2 Neither the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement, the Certificates of Merger, or the consummation of the Merger and the
other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and/or by Velogic Ancillary
Agreements will, in accordance with their terms: (a) constitute a material
breach of or default under any instrument, contract, license or other agreement
governing any Velogic IP Right to which Velogic is a party (collectively, the
"Velogic IP Rights Agreements"); (b) cause the forfeiture or termination of, or
give rise to a right of forfeiture or termination of, any Velogic IP Right; or
(c) materially impair the right of Velogic or the Surviving Corporation to use,
possess, sell or license any Velogic IP Right or portion thereof. There are no
royalties, honoraria, fees or other payments payable by Velogic to any third
person (other than salaries payable to employees and independent contractors not
contingent on or related to use of their work product) as a result of the
ownership, use, possession, license-in, sale, marketing, advertising or
disposition of any Velogic IP Rights by Velogic to the extent necessary for the
conduct of the Velogic Business and none will become
-18-
payable as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, in and of themselves, except for per copy license fees of less than
$500 for software generally commercially available to the public.
3.13.3 Neither the manufacture, marketing, license, sale, furnishing
or intended use of any product or service currently licensed, utilized, sold,
provided or furnished by Velogic or currently under development by Velogic
violates any license or agreement between Velogic and any third party or
infringes or misappropriates any Intellectual Property Right of any other party;
and there is no pending or threatened, claim or litigation contesting the
validity, ownership or right of Velogic to exercise any Velogic IP Right nor, to
the knowledge of Velogic, is there any legitimate basis for any such claim, nor
has Velogic received any notice asserting that any Velogic IP Right or the
proposed use, sale, license or disposition thereof conflicts or will conflict
with the rights of any other party, nor, to the knowledge of Velogic, is there
any legitimate basis for any such assertion.
3.13.4 No current or former employee, consultant or independent
contractor of Velogic: (a) is in material violation of any term or covenant of
any employment contract, patent disclosure agreement, invention assignment
agreement, non-disclosure agreement, noncompetition agreement or any other
contract or agreement with any other party by virtue of such employee's,
consultant's, or independent contractor's being employed by, or performing
services for, Velogic or using trade secrets or proprietary information of
others without permission that would be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect
on Velogic; or (b) has developed any technology, software or other
copyrightable, patentable, or otherwise proprietary work for Velogic that is
subject to any agreement under which such employee, consultant or independent
contractor has assigned or otherwise granted to any third party any rights
(including without limitation Intellectual Property) in or to such technology,
software or other copyrightable, patentable or otherwise proprietary work. The
employment of any employee of Velogic or the use by Velogic of the services of
any consultant or independent contractor does not subject Velogic to any
liability to any third party for improperly soliciting such employee or
consultant, or independent contractor to work for Velogic, whether such
liability is based on contractual or other legal obligations to such third
party.
3.13.5 Velogic has taken reasonably necessary and appropriate steps
to protect, preserve and maintain the secrecy and confidentiality of the Velogic
IP Rights (in the case of Velogic-Licensed IP Rights, to the extent required by
such third parties) and to preserve and maintain all Velogic's interests and
proprietary rights in Velogic IP Rights. All officers, employees and consultants
of Velogic having access to proprietary information of Velogic, its customers or
business partners and inventions owned by Velogic, have executed and delivered
to Velogic an agreement regarding the protection of such proprietary information
and the assignment of Velogic's inventions to Velogic (in the case of
proprietary information of Velogic's customer and business partners, to the
extent required by such customers and business partners); and copies of all such
agreements have been delivered to Keynote's counsel. Velogic has secured valid
written assignments from all of Velogic's consultants, contractors and employees

instructions thereto, (a) Keynote or its transfer agent will issue to each
tendering holder of a Velogic Certificate or an Affidavit, certificates (a
"Tendering Velogic Holder") for the number of shares of Keynote Common Stock to
which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.1.2, subject to the
provisions of Section 2.1.4 (regarding the elimination of fractional shares of
Keynote Common Stock) and Section 2.5 (regarding the withholding of Escrow

applicable escheat and other laws, following surrender of any Velogic
Certificate or Affidavit, there will be delivered to the person entitled
thereto, without interest, the amount of any dividends and distributions
theretofore paid with respect to Keynote Common Stock so withheld as of any date
subsequent to the Effective Time and prior to such date of delivery.
7.2.3 After the Effective Time there will be no further registration

Affidavit are presented for any reason, they will be canceled and exchanged as

appraisal rights pursuant to the California Law in connection with the Merger,
any shares held by Velogic Shareholders who exercise and perfect such appraisal
rights ("Dissenting Shares") shall not be converted into a right to receive
Keynote Common Stock, but shall be converted into the right to receive such
consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting
Shares pursuant to the California Law. Velogic shall give Keynote prompt notice
(and in no event more than two business days) of any demand received by Velogic
for appraisal of Velogic Common Stock, and Keynote shall have the right to
control all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demand. Velogic
agrees that, except with the prior written consent of Keynote, it will not
voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any
such demand for appraisal. In the event that any Velogic Shareholder fails to
make an effective demand for payment or otherwise loses his status as a holder
of Dissenting Shares (a "Dissenting Shareholder"), Keynote shall, as of the
later of the Effective Time of the Merger or ten business days from the
occurrence of such event, issue and deliver, upon surrender by such Dissenting
Shareholder of its Velogic Certificate or Certificates, the shares of Keynote
Common Stock and any cash payment in lieu of fractional shares, in each case
without interest thereon, to which such Dissenting Shareholder would have been
entitled to under Section 2.1.2 of this Agreement (less the number of shares of
Keynote Common Stock to be held in escrow with respect to such shareholder
pursuant to Section 2.5).

----------------------------------
(a) Except with respect to claims for indemnification for

to Damages. In seeking indemnification for Damages under Section 11.2, the
Keynote Indemnified Persons shall first exercise their remedies with respect to
the Escrow Shares and any other assets deposited in escrow pursuant to the terms
of Section 2.5 and Article 11 hereof and then, solely with respect to
Shareholder Damages and Special Damages may seek recovery of such Damages
against any other assets of the Velogic Shareholder. Each Velogic Shareholder
agrees that claims for indemnification against such person under this Article 11
may be satisfied by the forfeiture of such person's shares of Keynote Common
Stock (including fractions of a share thereof) as provided for in this Article
11 and that no Keynote Indemnified Person shall have any obligation to exercise
its remedies against any other assets of such Velogic Shareholder prior to
exercising them against such shares of Keynote Common Stock. In the event of a
Capital Change after the Effective Time, the Keynote Average Price Per Share
will, for purposes of this Section 11.3, be proportionally and equitably
adjusted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any claim for Special
Damages against any Velogic Shareholder exceed the value of the Keynote
securities received by such Velogic Shareholder in the Merger.
(b) The indemnification provided for in Section 11.2(a) shall
not apply unless and until the aggregate cumulative Damages for which one or
more Indemnified Persons have sought indemnification under this Section exceeds
one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) (the "Basket") and then the
indemnification shall extend to the amount of such cumulative Damages in excess
of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000).
11.4 Appointment of Representatives. By voting in favor of the Merger,
------------------------------
each of the Velogic Shareholders approves the designation of and designates
Xxxxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx as the Representatives of the Velogic
Shareholders and as the attorneys-in-fact and agents for and on behalf of each
Velogic Shareholder with respect to claims for indemnification under Article 11
and the taking by the Representatives of any and all actions and the making of
any decisions required or permitted to be taken by the Representatives under
this Agreement, including, without limitation, the exercise of the power to: (a)
authorize the release or delivery to Keynote of shares of Keynote Common Stock
and any other assets deposited in escrow pursuant to the terms of Section 2.5
and Article 11 hereof in satisfaction of indemnity claims by Keynote or any
other Keynote Indemnified Person (as defined herein) pursuant to Article 11; (b)
agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, demand
arbitration of, and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with
respect to, such claims; (c) arbitrate, resolve, settle or compromise any claim
for indemnity made pursuant to Article 11; and (d) take all actions necessary in
the judgment of the Representatives for the accomplishment of the foregoing. The
Representatives will have authority and power to act on behalf of each Velogic
Shareholder with
-47-
respect to the disposition, settlement or other handling of all claims under
Article 11 hereof and all rights or obligations arising under Article 11. The
Velogic Shareholders will be bound by all actions taken and documents executed
by any Representative in connection with Article 11, and Keynote will be
entitled to rely on any action or decision of any Representative. In performing
the functions specified in this Agreement, the Representatives will not be
liable to any Velogic Shareholder in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of the Representatives. The Velogic Shareholders shall
severally indemnify the Representatives and hold him or her harmless against any
loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of the Representatives and arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of his or her duties hereunder.
Any out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Representatives
in connection with actions taken by the Representatives pursuant to the terms of
Article 11 (including without limitation the hiring of legal counsel and the
incurring of legal fees and costs) will be paid by the Velogic Shareholders to
the Representatives pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage
Interests, which Velogic Shareholders shall be entitled to reimbursement by
Keynote if Keynote is determined to be a Non-Prevailing Party pursuant to
Section 11.8(c)(i) below. Each of the venture capital firms with which a
Representative is associated, may upon prior written notice to Keynote,
designate a replacement Representative reasonably acceptable to Keynote that is
associated with the applicable venture capital firm.
11.5 Notice of Claim. As used herein, the term "Claim" means a claim for
---------------
indemnification of Keynote or any other Keynote Indemnified Person for Special
Damages, Shareholder Damages or Damages under Article 11. Keynote (and only
Keynote) may give notice of a Claim under this Agreement whether for its own
Special Damages, Shareholder Damages or Damages or for Special Damages,
Shareholder Damages or Damages incurred by any other Keynote Indemnified Person,
and Keynote will give written notice of a Claim executed by an officer of
Keynote (a "Notice of Claim") to Representative and, in the case of Shareholder
Damages, to the applicable Velogic Shareholder, promptly after Keynote becomes
aware of the existence of any potential claim by an Keynote Indemnified Person
for indemnity from the Velogic Shareholders or a Velogic Shareholder under
Article 11, but in any event before the Release Date arising from or relating
to:
(a) (i) any inaccuracy, misrepresentation, breach of, or
default in, any of the representations, warranties or covenants given or made by
Velogic in this Agreement or in the Velogic Disclosure Letter or in any
certificate delivered by Velogic or an officer of Velogic pursuant hereto, (ii)
the incurring of any Excess Transaction Expenses (as defined in Section 13.7),
or (iii) any Special Damages or Shareholder Damages; or
(b) the assertion, whether orally or in writing, against
Keynote or against any other Keynote Indemnified Person of a claim, demand,
suit, action, arbitration, investigation, inquiry or proceeding brought by a
third party against such Indemnified Person that is based upon, or includes
assertions that would, if true, constitute (in each such case, a "Third-Party
Claim"): (i) any inaccuracy, misrepresentation, breach of, or default in, any of
the representations, warranties or covenants given or made by Velogic in this
Agreement or in the Velogic Disclosure Letter or in any certificate delivered by
or on behalf of Velogic or an officer of Velogic pursuant hereto (if such
inaccuracy, misrepresentation, breach or default existed at the Closing Date),
or (ii) any Excess Transaction Expenses.
-48-
Until the Release Date, no delay on the part of Keynote in giving a
Representative a Notice of Claim will relieve any Representative or any Velogic
Shareholder from any of its obligations under Article 11 unless (and then only
to the extent) that the Representatives or the Velogic Shareholders are
materially prejudiced thereby.
11.6 Defense of Third-Party Claims.
-----------------------------
(a) Keynote shall defend any Third-Party Claim, and the costs
and expenses incurred by Keynote in connection with such defense (including but
not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees, other professionals' and experts'
fees and court or arbitration costs) shall be included in the Special Damages,
Shareholder Damages or Damages for which Keynote may seek indemnity pursuant to
a Claim made by any Keynote Indemnified Person hereunder.
(b) The Representatives shall have the right to receive copies
of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to the Third-Party
Claim to the extent that receipt of such documents by the Representatives does
not affect any privilege relating to the Keynote Indemnified Person, and may
participate in settlement negotiations with respect to the Third-Party Claim. No
Keynote Indemnified Person shall enter into any settlement of a Third-Party
Claim without the prior written consent of one of the Representatives (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Velogic Shareholders will
remain responsible to indemnify the Keynote Indemnified Persons for all Special
Damages, Shareholder Damages or Damages they may incur arising out of, resulting
from or caused by the Third-Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in
Article 11 hereof.
11.7 Contents of Notice of Claim. Each Notice of Claim by Keynote given
---------------------------
pursuant to Section 11.5 will contain the following information:
(a) that Keynote has incurred, paid or properly accrued (in
accordance with GAAP) or, in good faith, believes it will have to incur, pay or
accrue (in accordance with GAAP), Damages in an aggregate stated amount arising
from such Claim (which amount may be the amount of damages claimed by a third
party in an action brought against any Keynote Indemnified Person based on
alleged facts, which if true, would give rise to liability for Special Damages,
Shareholder Damages or Damages to such Keynote Indemnified Person under Article
11); and
(b) a brief description, in reasonable detail (to the extent
reasonably available to Keynote), of the facts, circumstances or events giving
rise to the alleged Special Damages, Shareholder Damages or Damages based on
Keynote's good faith belief thereof, including, without limitation, the identity
and address of any third-party claimant (to the extent reasonably available to
Keynote) and copies of any formal demand or complaint, the amount of Special
Damages, Shareholder Damages or Damages, the date each such item was incurred,
paid or properly accrued, or the basis for such anticipated liability, and the
specific nature of the breach to which such item is related.
11.8 Resolution of Notice of Claim. Any Notice of Claim received by a
-----------------------------
Representative pursuant to Section 11.5 and Section 11.7 above will be resolved
as follows:
(a) Uncontested Claims. In the event that, within thirty
------------------
calendar days after a Notice of Claim is received by the Representative pursuant
to Section 11.5 and Section 11.7, the
-49-
Representative does not contest such Notice of Claim in writing to Keynote as
provided in Section 11.8(b) (an "Uncontested Claim"), the Representatives will
be conclusively deemed to have consented, on behalf of all Velogic Shareholders,
to the recovery by the Keynote Indemnified Person of the full amount of Damages
specified in the Notice of Claim in accordance with this Article 11, including
the adjustment to the number of Merger Shares by withdrawal of a number of
shares of Keynote Common Stock equal to the amount of Damages divided by the
Keynote Average Price Per Share, and any other assets deposited in escrow
pursuant to the terms of Section 2.5 and Article 11 hereof and, without further
notice, to have stipulated to the entry of a final judgment for damages against
the Velogic Shareholders for such amount in any court having jurisdiction over
the matter where venue is proper.
(b) Contested Claims. In the event that the Representatives give
----------------
Keynote written notice contesting all or any portion of a Notice of Claim (a
"Contested Claim") within the forty-five day period specified in Section
11.8(a), then: (i) such Contested Claim will be resolved by either (A) a written
settlement agreement executed by Keynote and the Representative or (B) in the
absence of such a written settlement agreement, by binding arbitration between
Keynote and the Representatives in accordance with the terms and provisions of
Section 11.8(c).
(c) Arbitration of Contested Claims. Each of Keynote, Velogic and the
-------------------------------
Velogic Shareholders agree that any Contested Claim will be submitted to
mandatory, final and binding arbitration before J.A.M.S./ENDISPUTE or its
successor ("J.A.M.S."), pursuant to the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C.,
Section 1 et seq. and that any such arbitration will be conducted in San Mateo
County, California. Either Keynote or the Representatives may commence the
arbitration process called for by this Agreement by filing a written demand for
arbitration with J.A.M.S. and giving a copy of such demand to each of the other
parties to this Agreement. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with
the provisions of J.A.M.S' Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures in
effect at the time of filing of the demand for arbitration, subject to the
provisions of this Section 11.8(c). The parties will cooperate with J.A.M.S. and
with each other in promptly selecting an arbitrator from J.A.M.S.' panel of
neutrals, and in scheduling the arbitration proceedings in order to fulfill the
provisions, purposes and intent of this Agreement. The parties covenant that
they will participate in the arbitration in good faith, and that they will share
in its costs in accordance with subparagraph (i) below. The provisions of this
Section 11.8(c) may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, and the
party seeking enforcement will be entitled to an award of all costs, fees and
expenses, including attorneys' fees, to be paid by the party against whom
enforcement is ordered. Subject to the provisions of subparagraph (vii) below,
judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court
having competent jurisdiction.
(i) Payment of Costs. Keynote on the one hand, and Velogic
----------------
Shareholders (through the Representatives), on the other hand, will bear the
expense of deposits and advances required by the arbitrator in equal
proportions, but either party may advance such amounts, subject to recovery as
an addition or offset to any award. The arbitrator shall determine the party who
is the Prevailing Party and the party who is the Non-Prevailing Party. The Non-
Prevailing Party shall pay all reasonable costs, fees and expenses related to
the arbitration, including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys,
accountants and other professionals incurred by the prevailing party, the fees
of each arbitrator and the administrative fee of the arbitration
-50-
proceedings. If such an award would result in manifest injustice, however, the
arbitrator may apportion such costs, fees and expenses between the parties in
such a manner as the arbitrator deems just and equitable.
(ii) Burden of Proof. Except as may be otherwise expressly
---------------
provided herein, for any Contested Claim submitted to arbitration, the burden of
proof will be as it would be if the claim were litigated in a judicial
proceeding governed by California law exclusively.
(iii) Award. Upon the conclusion of any arbitration proceedings
-----
hereunder, the arbitrator will render findings of fact and conclusions of law
and a final written arbitration award setting forth the basis and reasons for
any decision reached (the "Final Award") and will deliver such documents to the
Representatives and Keynote, together with a signed copy of the Final Award.
Subject to the provisions of subparagraph (vii) below, the Final Award will
constitute a conclusive determination of all issues in question, binding upon
the Velogic Shareholders or a Velogic Shareholder (in the case of a claim for
Shareholder Damages or Special Damages), the Representatives and Keynote, and
will include an affirmative statement to such effect.
(iv) Timing. The Representatives, Keynote and the arbitrator
------
will conclude each arbitration pursuant to this Section 11.8 as promptly as
possible for the Contested Claim being arbitrated.
(v) Terms of Arbitration. The arbitrator chosen in accordance
--------------------
with these provisions will not have the power to alter, amend or otherwise
affect the terms of these arbitration provisions or the provisions of this
Agreement.
(vi) Exclusive Remedy. Following the Effective Time, except as
----------------
specifically otherwise provided in this Agreement, arbitration conducted in
accordance with this Agreement will be the sole and exclusive remedy of the
parties for any Claim made pursuant to Article 11.
(vii) Allocation of Damages. A number of the Escrow Shares equal
---------------------
to the amount of Damages owed to Keynote hereunder, as finally determined under
this Section 11.8(c), divided by the Keynote Average Price Per Share, will
automatically be deducted from the Merger Shares and transferred to Keynote,
which adjustment to the Merger Shares will be allocated among the Velogic
Shareholders based upon their respective Percentage Interests, except for Claims
for Shareholder Damages arising under Section 11.2(b) of the Merger Agreement,
which will only be allocated against the Velogic Shareholder's pro rata portion
of the Escrow Shares to whom such Claim applies.
11.9 Distribution Upon Termination of Escrow Period Within ten business
----------------------------------------------
days following the Release Date, Keynote shall deliver to the Velogic
Shareholders all of the Escrow Shares in excess of any amount of Escrow Shares
necessary to satisfy any unsatisfied or disputed claims for Special Damages,
Shareholder Damages or Damages specified in any Notice of Claim delivered to one
of the Representatives before the Release Date. As soon as all such claims have
been resolved, Keynote shall deliver to the Velogic Shareholders all remaining
Escrow Shares not required to satisfy such claims.

ARTICLE 12
Registration Rights
12.1 Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article 12:
-------------------
(a) Registration. The terms "register," "registered" and
------------
"registration" refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a
registration statement in compliance with the Securities Act, and the
declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration statement.
(b) Registrable Securities. The term "Registrable Securities" means
----------------------
(i) the shares of Keynote Common Stock that are issued to the Velogic
Shareholders in the Merger pursuant to Section 2.1.2 hereof, and (ii) any shares
of Keynote Common Stock that may be issued as a dividend or other distribution
(including shares of Keynote Common Stock issued in a subdivision and split of
Keynote's outstanding Common Stock) with respect to, or in exchange for, or in
replacement of, shares of Keynote Common Stock described in clauses (i) or (ii)
of this Section 12.1(b); excluding in all cases, however, from the definition of
---------
"Registrable Securities" any such shares that are: (w) registered under the
Securities Act other than pursuant to a registration statement filed pursuant to
this Agreement; (x) sold by a person in a transaction in which rights under this
Agreement with respect to such shares are not assigned in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement; (y) sold pursuant to a registration statement filed
pursuant to this Agreement; or (z) sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under
the Securities Act or otherwise sold to the public. Only shares of Keynote
Common Stock shall be Registrable Securities. Except as provided in clause (iii)
of the first sentence of this Section 12.1(b), without limitation, the term
"Registrable Securities" does not include any shares of Keynote Common Stock
that were not issued in connection with the Merger.
(c) Holder. The term "Holder" means a Velogic Shareholder who is the
------
original holder of any Registrable Securities or any assignee of record of any
Registrable Securities to whom rights under this Agreement have been duly
assigned in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
(d) Form S-3. The term "Form S-3" means a registration statement
--------
filed under Form S-3 under the Securities Act, as such is in effect at the
Effective Time, or any successor form of registration statement under the
Securities Act subsequently adopted by the SEC which permits inclusion or
incorporation of a substantial amount of information by reference to other
documents filed by Keynote with the SEC.
(e) Rule 415. The term "Rule 415" means Rule 415 promulgated under
--------
the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any
similar or successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC.
12.2 Form S-3 Shelf Registration.
---------------------------
(a) Filing and Registration Period. Subject to the terms and
------------------------------
conditions of this Agreement, on October 2, 2000, or as soon as practicable
thereafter, in the case such filing is delayed by circumstances beyond Keynote's
control, and consistent with the requirements of applicable law, Keynote shall
prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 for an
offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of
the then
-52-
outstanding Registrable Securities (the "Shelf Registration"). Keynote shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to have such Shelf Registration declared
effective as soon as practicable after its filing and to keep the Shelf
Registration continuously effective under the Securities Act for a continuous
period of time (such period of time being hereinafter called the "Registration
Period") commencing on the date the Shelf Registration is declared effective
under the Securities Act by the SEC (the "Date of Effectiveness") and ending on
the date that is the first anniversary of the Effective Time of the Merger.
Keynote shall have no duty or obligation to keep the Shelf Registration
effective after the expiration of the Registration Period.
(b) Supplements and Amendments. During the Registration Period,
--------------------------
Keynote shall supplement and amend the Shelf Registration, if, as and when
required by the Securities Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder
or the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to Form S-3.
(c) Manner of Sales. Any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a
---------------
Shelf Registration under this Section 12.2 may only be made in accordance with
the method or methods of distribution of such Registrable Securities that are
described in the registration statement for the Shelf Registration, based on
information provided by the Selling Holders under Section 12.7 and permitted by
such form of registration statement.
(d) No Underwritings. No sale of Registrable Securities under any
----------------
Shelf Registration effected pursuant to this Section 12.2 may be effected
pursuant to any underwritten offering without Keynote's prior written consent,
which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion. A sale through a
broker-dealer on an agency basis or to a market maker shall not be deemed to be
an "underwritten offering" within the meaning of the preceding sentence,
notwithstanding that the broker-dealer or market maker may be deemed to be an
"underwriter" within the meaning of Section 2 of the Securities Act.
(e) Trading Window Compliance. The Holders acknowledge that the
-------------------------
Keynote Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Compliance Program and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Policy, as such
may be amended from time to time, a current copy of which has been provided to
Velogic prior to the Closing (the "Keynote Trading Policy") requires that those
directors, officers, consultants and employees of Keynote and its subsidiaries
that Keynote determines to be "Access Personnel" or otherwise subject to the
"trading window" and pre-clearance requirements of the Keynote Trading Policy
(and members of their immediate families and households) are permitted to effect
trades in Keynote securities: (i) only during those specified time periods
("trading windows") in which such persons are permitted to make sales, purchases
or other trades in Keynote's securities under the "trading window" provisions of
the Keynote Trading Policy; and (ii) only after pre-clearance of such sales,
purchases or other trades with Keynote's Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Compliance Officer. If
a Holder is or becomes subject to the "trading window" and/or "pre-clearance"
provisions of the Keynote Trading Policy described above, then, notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, such Holder may sell, transfer and dispose of
Registrable Securities only during those trading windows during which such
Keynote Access Personnel are permitted to effect trades in Keynote stock under
the Keynote Trading Policy and only after pre-clearing such trades with
Keynote's Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Compliance Officer as provided in the Keynote Trading
Policy.
-53-
12.3 Limitations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.2 above,
-----------
Keynote shall not be obligated to effect any registration, qualification or
compliance of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 12.2 of this Agreement,
and the Holders shall not be entitled to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to
any registration statement filed under Section 12.2 of this Agreement, as
applicable:
(a) if Form S-3 is not then available for such offering by the
Holders provided, that if such form is not available, Keynote shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to become eligible to use such form and the
Registration Period shall be extended for such period of time that such form is
not available, but only if all of a Holder's Registrable Securities may not be
resold in a three month period pursuant to Rule 144;
(b) if Keynote shall furnish to the Holders (and all other holders of
Keynote's registrable securities) a certificate signed by an officer of Keynote
stating that, in the good faith judgment of such officer, it would be
detrimental to Keynote and its stockholders for sales under the Registration
Statement to occur at such time, due, for example, to the existence of a
material development or potential material development involving Keynote which
Keynote would be obligated to disclose in the prospectus contained in the Shelf
Registration, which disclosure would, in the good faith judgment of such
officer, be premature or otherwise inadvisable at such time or would have a
material adverse affect upon Keynote and its stockholders, in which event
Keynote will have the right to suspend the use of the Registration Statement for
a period of not more than sixty days pursuant to this Section 12.3(b), provided
that in the event that the Registration Statement is suspended by Keynote
pursuant to this Section 12.3(b), then Keynote shall extend the Registration
Period hereunder by the number of days that the Registration Statement was
suspended;
(c) if Keynote is acquired and Keynote Common Stock ceases to be
publicly traded;
(d) in any particular jurisdiction in which Keynote would be required
to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process
in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance, unless Keynote is
already subject to service of process in such jurisdiction; or
(e) if the SEC refuses to declare such registration effective due to
the participation of any particular Holder in such registration (unless such
Holder withdraws all such Holder's Registrable Securities from such registration
statement); or if the manner in which any Registrable Securities are disposed of
pursuant to the Shelf Registration is not included within the plan of
distribution set forth in the prospectus for the Shelf Registration.
12.4 Shares Otherwise Eligible for Resale. Notwithstanding anything herein
------------------------------------
to the contrary, Keynote shall not be obligated to effect or continue to keep
effective any such registration, registration statement, qualification or
compliance with respect to the Registrable Securities held by any particular
Holder:
(a) if all the Registrable Securities then held by such Holder may be
resold by such Holder within a three month period without registration under the
Securities Act
-54-
pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or
successor provisions), or otherwise;
(b) after expiration or termination of the Registration Period.
12.5 Expenses. Keynote shall pay all expenses incurred in connection with
--------
any registration effected by Keynote pursuant to this Agreement (excluding
brokers' discounts and commissions), including, without limitation, all filing,
registration and qualification, printers', legal (including, the reasonable fees
and expenses of one counsel for the Holders as a group) and accounting fees.
12.6 Obligations of Keynote. Subject to Sections 12.2, 12.3 and 12.4 above,
----------------------
when required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the
terms of this Agreement, Keynote will, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(a) furnish to the Holders such number of copies of the prospectus
for the Shelf Registration, including a preliminary prospectus (and amendments
or supplements thereto), in conformity with the requirements of the Securities
Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to
facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by them;
(b) notify each Holder of Registrable Securities promptly and, if
requested by such Holder, confirm such notification in writing promptly (i) when
the registration statement has become effective and when any post-effective
amendments and supplements thereto become effective, (ii) of any request the SEC
or any state securities authority for post-effective amendments and supplements
to a registration statement has become effective, (iii) of the issuance by the
SEC or any state securities authority of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of a registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings
for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by Keynote of any notification with
respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for
sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for
such purpose, and (v) of any determination by Keynote that a post-effective
amendment to a registration statement would be appropriate;
(c) use all reasonable efforts to (i) register and qualify the
securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or
blue sky laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as will be reasonably
requested by the Holders; provided that Keynote will not be required in
connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to
file a general consent to service of process in any such state or jurisdiction
unless Keynote is already so qualified or subject to service of process,
respectively, in such jurisdiction; and (ii) cause such Registrable Securities
to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or
authorities, including the National Association of Securities Dealers as may be
necessary by virtue of the business and operations of Keynote; provided that
Keynote will not be required to (A) qualify generally to do business in any
jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this
paragraph (c), (B) subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction, or (C)
consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction except as may be
required by the Securities Act;
-55-
(d) promptly notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by
such registration statement, when a prospectus relating thereto is required to
be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result
of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in
effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing and,
subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the request of any Holder,
prepare and furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities then outstanding a
reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of the prospectus
as may be necessary to correct the untrue statement or omission;
(e) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such
Registrable Securities to be listed on the Nasdaq National Market and each
securities exchange on which similar securities issued by Keynote are then
listed; and
(f) upon the request of any Holder, promptly provide the name,
address and other contact information regarding Keynote's transfer agent for the
Registrable Securities and the CUSIP number for the Registrable Securities.
12.7 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the
-------------------
obligations of Keynote to take any action pursuant to this Article 12 that the
selling Holders will furnish to Keynote such information regarding themselves,
the Registrable Securities held by them, and the intended method of disposition
and plan of distribution of such Registrable Securities as shall be required to
timely effect the registration of their Registrable Securities.
12.8 Delay of Registration. No Holder will have any right to obtain or seek
---------------------
an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration that is the
subject of this Agreement as the result of any controversy that might arise with
respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Agreement.
12.9 Indemnification.
---------------
(a) By Keynote. To the extent permitted by law, Keynote will
----------
indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Holder and its directors, officers and
each person, if any, who controls Holder with the meaning of the Securities Act,
against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which
such Holder may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or
other U.S. federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively, a
"Violation"):
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in a registration statement filed by Keynote pursuant to
this Agreement pursuant to which Registrable Securities are sold, including any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments
or supplements thereto;
(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in such
registration statement, preliminary prospectus or final prospectus or any
amendments or supplements thereto, a material fact required to be stated
therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or
-56-
(iii) any violation or alleged violation by Keynote of the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any U.S. federal or state securities law or
any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or
any U.S. federal or state securities law in connection with the offering of
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement; provided,
however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 12.9(a) shall
not apply to (A) any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereto) insofar as such violation occurs in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use
in connection with such registration and (B) amounts paid in settlement of any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected
without the written consent of Keynote (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), nor shall Keynote be liable in any such case for any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is
based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such
registration by such Holder.
(b) By Selling Holders. To the extent permitted by law, (i) each
------------------
selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless Keynote, each of its directors,
each of its officers who have signed the registration statement, each Person, if
any, who controls Keynote within the meaning of the Securities Act, any
underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under such registration
statement, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several)
to which Keynote or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter
or other such Holder may become subject under the Securities, the Exchange Act
or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any
Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such
Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration;
(ii) and each such Holder will indemnify and reimburse Keynote or any such
director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder for any
reasonable attorneys' fees and other expenses reasonably incurred by Keynote or
any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action, as incurred. Each selling Holder's liability pursuant to
this Section 12.9(b) shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds
received by such selling Holder pursuant to sales under the registration
statement.
(c) Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
------
Section 12.9 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action) against such indemnified party, such indemnified party
will, if a claim for indemnification or contribution in respect thereof is to be
made against any indemnifying party under this Section 12.9, deliver to the
indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and, if the
indemnifying party is Keynote, Keynote shall have the right and obligation to
control the defense of such action, and if Keynote fails to defend such action
it shall indemnify and promptly reimburse the selling Holders for any reasonable
attorneys' fees and other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection
with investigating or defending such action; provided, however, that: (i)
Keynote shall also have the right, at its option, to assume and control the
defense of any action with respect to which Keynote or any person entitled to be
indemnified by the selling Holders under Section 12.9(b) is entitled to
indemnification from the selling Holders; (ii) the indemnified party or parties
shall have the right to participate at its own expense in the
-57-
defense of such action and (but only to the extent agreed in writing with
Keynote and any other indemnifying party similarly noticed) to assume the
defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; and (iii) an
indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees
and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the indemnifying party, if
representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the
indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to an actual or potential conflict
of interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by
such counsel in such proceeding. The failure of an indemnified party to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the
commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to the ability of the
indemnifying party to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party
of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 12.9, but the
omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve
the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified
party otherwise than under this Section 12.9.
(d) Defect Eliminated in Final Prospectus. The foregoing indemnity
-------------------------------------
agreements of Keynote and the Holders are subject to the condition that, insofar
as they relate to any Violation made in a preliminary prospectus but eliminated
or remedied in the amended or supplemented prospectus on file with the SEC and
effective at the time the sale of Registrable Securities under such registration
statement occurs (the "Amended Prospectus"), such indemnity agreement shall not
inure to the benefit of any person if a copy of the Amended Prospectus was
furnished to the indemnified party and was not furnished to the person asserting
the loss, liability, claim or damage in the action giving rise to indemnity
claims under this Section 12.9, at or prior to the time such action is required
by the Securities Act.
(e) Survival. The obligations of Keynote and Holders under this
--------
Section 12.9 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable
Securities in a registration statement pursuant to this Agreement, and
otherwise.
12.10 Duration and Termination of Keynote's Obligations. Keynote will have
-------------------------------------------------
no obligations pursuant to Section 12.2 of this Agreement to maintain or
continue to keep effective any registration or registration statement pursuant
hereto: (a) after the expiration or termination of the Registration Period; (b)
with respect to a particular Holder if, in the opinion of counsel to Keynote,
all such Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by such Holder may be sold
in a three (3) month period without registration under the Securities pursuant
to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities or otherwise; or (c) if all
Registrable Securities have been registered and sold pursuant to a registration
effected pursuant to this Agreement and/or have been transferred in transactions
in which registration rights hereunder have not been assigned in accordance with
this Agreement.
12.11 Assignment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
----------
rights of a Holder under Article 12 may be assigned only with Keynote's express
prior written consent, which may be withheld in Keynote's sole discretion;
provided, however, that the rights of a Holder under Article 12 may be assigned
without Keynote's express prior written consent: (a) to a Permitted Assignee (as
defined below); or (b) (if applicable) by will or by the laws of intestacy,
descent or distribution, provided that the assignee first agrees in writing to
be bound by all the obligations of the Holders under this Article 12. Any
attempt to assign any rights of a Holder under Article 12 without Keynote's
express prior written consent in a situation in which such
-58-
consent is required by this Section shall be null and void and without effect.
Subject to the foregoing restrictions, all rights, covenants and agreements in
Article 12 by or on behalf of the parties hereto will bind and inure to the
benefit of the respective permitted successors and assigns of the parties
hereto. Each of the following parties are "Permitted Assignees" for purposes of
this Section 12.11: (a) a trust whose beneficiaries consist solely of a Holder
and such Holder's immediate family; (b) the personal representative (such as an
executor of a Holder's will), custodian or conservator of a Holder, in the case
of the death, bankruptcy or adjudication of incompetency of that Holder; (c)
immediate family members of a Holder; (d) partners of a Holder that is a
partnership; or (e) members of a Holder that is a limited liability company

irrespective of its choice of law principles, will govern the validity of this
Agreement, the construction of its terms, and the interpretation and enforcement
of the rights and duties of the parties hereto; provided, however, that issues
involving the consummation and effects of the Merger shall be governed by the
laws of the State of Delaware.
13.2 Assignment; Binding Upon Successors and Assigns. Neither party hereto
-----------------------------------------------
may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of the other party hereto. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
permitted assigns. Any assignment in violation of this provision shall be void.
13.3 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application
------------
thereof, will for any reason and to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, then
the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other
persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the
intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or
unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision
that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other
purposes of the void or unenforceable provision.
13.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
------------
counterparts, each of which will be an original as regards any party whose
signature appears thereon and all of which together will constitute one and the
same instrument. This Agreement will become binding when one or more
counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, will bear the signatures of
all parties reflected hereon as signatories.
13.5 Other Remedies. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all
--------------
remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party hereunder will be deemed
cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby or by law
on such party, and the exercise of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise
of any other. Subsequent to the consummation of the Merger, Keynote and Velogic
agree that the indemnification and arbitration provisions set forth in Article
11 shall be each such person's sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any
inaccuracy, misrepresentation, breach of, or default in, any of the
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of any such party in this
Agreement, other than claims for Special Damages and
-59-
Shareholder Damages, provided, that the foregoing shall not limit the parties'
respective rights to seek specific performance or other injunctive relief. The
parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any
of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their
specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the
parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent
breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions
hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction.
13.6 Amendment and Waivers. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be
---------------------
amended, and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either
generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively)
only by a writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. The waiver by a party
of any breach hereof or default in the performance hereof will not be deemed to
constitute a waiver of any other default or any succeeding breach or default.
This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto as provided in this Section
at any time before or after approval of this Agreement by the Velogic
Shareholders, but, after such approval, no amendment will be made which by
applicable law requires the further approval of the Velogic Shareholders without
obtaining such further approval. At any time prior to the Effective Time, each
of Velogic and Keynote, by action taken by its Board of Directors, may, to the
extent legally allowed, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the
obligations or other acts of the other; (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the
representations and warranties made to it contained herein or in any document
delivered pursuant hereto; and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements
or conditions for its benefit contained herein. No such waiver or extension will
be effective unless signed in writing by the party against whom such waiver or
extension is asserted. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions
hereof will not be construed to be a waiver of the right of such party
thereafter to enforce such provisions.
13.7 Expenses. Each party will bear its respective legal, auditors' and
--------
financial advisors' fees and other expenses incurred with respect to this
Agreement, the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby ("Transaction
Expenses"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Merger is consummated, then
Keynote will thereafter be entitled to adjust the number of Merger Shares
through indemnification from the Escrow Shares in accordance with Section 11.2
for an amount equal to the amount such Transaction Expenses of Velogic exceed
the lesser of (i) $400,000 and (ii) Velogic's cash on hand at the Closing (such
amount, "Excess Transaction Expenses").
13.8 Attorneys' Fees. Should suit or arbitration be brought to enforce or
---------------
interpret any part of this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to
recover, as an element of the costs of suit and not as damages, reasonable
attorneys' fees to be fixed by the court (including without limitation, costs,
expenses and fees on any appeal). The prevailing party will be entitled to
recover its costs of suit, regardless of whether such suit proceeds to final
judgment.
13.9 Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted
-------
under this Agreement will be in writing and will be either hand delivered in
person, sent by facsimile, sent by certified or registered first class mail,
postage pre-paid, or sent by nationally recognized express courier service. Such
notices and other communications will be effective upon receipt if hand
delivered or sent by facsimile, five days after mailing if sent by mail, and one
day after

-------------------------
respective parties hereto and their attorneys and the language hereof will not
be construed for or against either party. A reference to a Section or an exhibit
will mean a Section in, or exhibit to, this Agreement unless otherwise
explicitly set forth. The titles and headings herein are for reference purposes
only and will not in any manner limit the construction of this Agreement which
will be considered as a whole. Unless otherwise indicated, the words "include,"

statute, regulation, document or agreement shall be deemed in each case to
include all amendments thereto.

----------------
or construed as creating a joint venture or partnership between any of the
parties hereto. No party is by virtue of this Agreement authorized as an agent,
employee or legal representative of any other party. No party will have the
power to control the activities and operations of any other and their status is,
and at all times will continue to be, that of independent contractors with
respect to each other. No party will have any power or authority to bind or
commit any other party. No party will hold itself out as having any authority or

13.12 Further Assurances. Each party agrees to cooperate fully with the
------------------
other parties and to execute such further instruments, documents and agreements
and to give such further written assurances as may be reasonably requested by
any other party to evidence and reflect the transactions described herein and
contemplated hereby and to carry into effect the intents and purposes of this
Agreement.
13.13 Third Party Beneficiary Rights. No provisions of this Agreement are
------------------------------
intended, nor will be interpreted, to provide or create any third party
beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind in any client, customer,
affiliate, stockholder, partner or any party hereto or any other person or
entity unless specifically provided otherwise herein and, except as so provided,
all provisions hereof will be personal solely between the parties to this
Agreement.
13.14 Public Announcement. Upon the closing of the transaction contemplated
-------------------
by this Agreement, Keynote and Velogic will issue a press release approved by
both parties announcing the Merger. Keynote may issue such press releases, and
make such other disclosures regarding the Merger, as it determines are required
under applicable securities laws or regulatory rules. Prior to the publication
of such mutually agreed press release, neither party will make any public
announcement relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby
(except as may be required by law) and Velogic will use its reasonable efforts
to prevent any trading in Keynote Common Stock by its officers, directors,
employees, shareholders and agents. Neither Keynote nor Velogic will make any
disclosures regarding this Agreement or the Merger that would jeopardize
Keynote's ability to timely and lawfully issue the shares of Keynote Common
Stock in the Merger pursuant to the exemptions described in Section 2.7.
13.15 Disclosure Letter. The Velogic Disclosure Letter shall be arranged in
-----------------
separate parts corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections contained in
Article 3, and the information disclosed in any numbered or lettered part shall
be deemed to relate to and to qualify only the particular representation or
warranty set forth in the corresponding numbered or lettered section in Article
3, and shall not be deemed to relate to or to qualify any other representation
or warranty unless the applicability to such other section is obvious from the
disclosure.
13.16 Confidentiality. Velogic and Keynote each confirm that they have
---------------
entered into the Confidentiality Agreement and that they are each bound by, and
will abide by, the provisions of such Confidentiality Agreement (except that
Keynote will cease to be bound by the Confidentiality Agreement after the Merger
becomes effective). If this Agreement is terminated, the Confidentiality
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and all copies of documents
containing confidential information of a disclosing party will be returned by
the receiving party to the disclosing party or be destroyed, as provided in the
Confidentiality Agreement.

----------------
the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements or
understandings, inducements or conditions, express or implied, written or oral,
between the parties with respect hereto other than the Confidentiality
Agreement. The express terms hereof control and supersede any course of
performance or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof.
