WARRANT AGREEMENT
TO PURCHASE SHARES OF THE SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK OF
KEYNOTE SYSTEMS, INC.
DATED AS OF AUGUST 21, 1998 (THE "EFFECTIVE DATE")
WHEREAS, Keynote Systems, Inc., a California corporation (the "Company")
has entered into a Master Lease Agreement dated as of August 21, 1998, Equipment
Schedule No. VL-1 and VL-2 dated as of August 21, 1998 and related Summary
Equipment Schedules (collectively, the "Leases") with Comdisco, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Warrantholder"); and
WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to Warrantholder, in consideration
for such Leases, the right to purchase shares of its Series C Preferred Stock;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Warrantholder executing and
delivering such Leases and in consideration of mutual covenants and agreements
contained herein, the Company and Warrantholder agree as follows:
1. GRANT OF THE RIGHT TO PURCHASE PREFERRED STOCK.
The Company hereby grants to the Warrantholder, and the Warrantholder is
entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, to
subscribe to and purchase, from the Company, 30,769 fully paid and
non-assessable shares of the Company's Series C Preferred Stock (the "Preferred
Stock") at a purchase price of $0.65 per share (the "Exercise Price"). The
number and purchase price of such shares are subject to adjustment as provided
in Section 8 hereof.
2. TERM OF THE WARRANT AGREEMENT.
Except as otherwise provided for herein, the term of this Warrant Agreement
and the right to purchase Preferred Stock as granted herein shall commence on
the Effective Date and shall be exercisable for a period of (i) seven (7) years
or (ii) three (3) years from the effective date of the Company's initial public
offering, whichever is longer.
3. EXERCISE OF THE PURCHASE RIGHTS.
The purchase rights set forth in this Warrant Agreement are exercisable by
the Warrantholder, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, prior
to the expiration of the term set forth in Section 2 above, by tendering to the
Company at its principal office a notice of exercise in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit I (the "Notice of Exercise"), duly completed and executed. Promptly
upon receipt of the Notice of Exercise and the payment of the purchase price in
accordance with the terms set forth below, and in no event later than twenty-one
(21) days thereafter, the Company shall issue to the Warrantholder a certificate
for the number of shares of Preferred Stock purchased and shall execute the
acknowledgment of exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II (the
"Acknowledgment of Exercise") indicating the number of shares which remain
subject to future purchases, if any.
The Exercise Price may be paid at the Warrantholder's election either (i)
by cash or check, or (ii) by surrender of Warrants ("Net Issuance") as
determined below. If the Warrantholder elects the Net Issuance method, the
Company will issue Preferred Stock in accordance with the following formula:
X = Y(A-B)
-----
A
Where: X = the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be issued to
the Warrantholder.
Y = the number of shares of Preferred Stock requested
to be exercised under this Warrant Agreement.
A = he fair market value of one (1) share of
Preferred Stock.
B = the Exercise Price.
For purposes of the above calculation, current fair market value of
Preferred Stock shall mean with respect to each share of Preferred Stock:
(i) if the exercise is in connection with an initial public
offering of the Company's Common Stock, and if the Company's Registration
Statement relating to such public offering has been declared effective by
the SEC, then the fair market value per share shall be the product of (x)
the initial "Price to Public" specified in the final prospectus with
respect to the offering and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into
which each share of Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of such
exercise;
(ii) if this Warrant is exercised after, and not in connection
with the Company's initial public offering, and:
(a) if traded on a securities exchange, the fair market
value shall be deemed to be the product of (x) the average of
the closing prices over a twenty-one (21) day period ending three
days before the day the current fair market value of the
securities is being determined and (y) the number of shares of
Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is
convertible at the time of such exercise; or
2
(b) if actively traded over-the-counter, the fair market
value shall be deemed to be the product of (x) the average of the
closing bid and asked prices quoted on the NASDAQ system (or
similar system) over the twenty-one (21) day period ending three
days before the day the current fair market value of the
securities is being determined and (y) the number of shares of
Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is
convertible at the time of such exercise;
(iii) if at any time the Common Stock is not listed on any
securities exchange or quoted in the NASDAQ System or the over-the-counter
market, the current fair market value of Preferred Stock shall be the
product of (x) the highest price per share which the Company could obtain
from a willing buyer (not a current employee or director) for shares of
Common Stock sold by the Company, from authorized but unissued shares, as
determined in good faith by its Board of Directors and (y) the number of
shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is
convertible at the time of such exercise, unless the Company shall become
subject to a merger, acquisition or other consolidation pursuant to which
the Company is not the surviving party, in which case the fair market
value of Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be the value received by the
holders of the Company's Preferred Stock on a common equivalent basis
pursuant to such merger or acquisition.
Upon partial exercise by either cash or Net Issuance, the Company shall
promptly issue an amended Warrant Agreement representing the remaining number of
shares purchasable hereunder. All other terms and conditions of such amended
Warrant Agreement shall be identical to those contained herein, including, but
not limited to the Effective Date hereof.
4. RESERVATION OF SHARES.
(a) AUTHORIZATION AND RESERVATION OF SHARES. During the term of this
Warrant Agreement, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a
sufficient number of shares of its Preferred Stock to provide for the exercise
of the rights to purchase Preferred Stock as provided for herein.
(b) REGISTRATION OR LISTING. If any shares of Preferred Stock required to
be reserved hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental
authority under any Federal or State law (other than any registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933 Act"), as then in effect, or any
similar Federal statute then enforced, or any state securities law, required by
reason of any transfer involved in such conversion), or listing on any domestic
securities exchange, before such shares may be issued upon conversion, the
Company will, at its expense and as expeditiously as possible, use its best
efforts to cause such shares to be duly registered, listed or approved for
listing on such domestic securities exchange, as the case may be.
5. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES OR SCRIP.
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be
issued upon the exercise of the Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional shares
the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Exercise
Price then in effect.
3
6. NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER.
This Warrant Agreement does not entitle the Warrantholder to any voting
rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise of
the Warrant.
7. WARRANTHOLDER REGISTRY.
The Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the
registered holder of this Warrant Agreement.
8. ADJUSTMENT RIGHTS.
The purchase price per share and the number of shares of Preferred Stock
purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment, as follows:
(a) MERGER AND SALE OF ASSETS. If at any time there shall be a capital
reorganization of the shares of the Company's stock (other than a combination,
reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for
herein), or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
corporation whether or not the Company is the surviving corporation, or the sale
of all or substantially all of the Company's properties and assets to any other
person (hereinafter referred to as a "Merger Event"), then, as a part of such
Merger Event, lawful provision shall be made so that the Warrantholder shall
thereafter be entitled to receive, upon exercise of the Warrant, the number of
shares of preferred stock or other securities of the successor corporation
resulting from such Merger Event, equivalent in value to that which would have
been issuable if Warrantholder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to
the Merger Event. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in
good faith by the Company's Board of Directors) shall be made in the application
of the provisions of this Warrant Agreement with respect to the rights and
interest of the Warrantholder after the Merger Event to the end that the
provisions of this Warrant Agreement (including adjustments of the Exercise
Price and number of shares of Preferred Stock purchasable) shall be applicable
to the greatest extent possible.
(b) RECLASSIFICATION OF SHARES. If the Company at any time shall, by
combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of securities or
otherwise, change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this
Warrant Agreement exist into the same or a different number of securities of any
other class or classes, this Warrant Agreement shall thereafter represent the
right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable
as the result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject
to the purchase rights under this Warrant Agreement immediately prior to such
combination, reclassification, exchange, subdivision or other change.
(c) SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF SHARES. If the Company at any time shall
combine or subdivide its Preferred Stock, the Exercise Price shall be
proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision, or proportionately
increased in the case of a combination.
(d) STOCK DIVIDENDS. If the Company at any time shall pay a dividend
payable in, or make any other distribution (except any distribution specifically
provided for in the foregoing subsections (a) or (b)) of the Company's stock,
then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and after the record date of
such dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction (i)
the numerator of which shall be the total
4
number of all shares of the Company's stock outstanding immediately prior to
such dividend or distribution, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the
total number of all shares of the Company's stock outstanding immediately after
such dividend or distribution. The Warrantholder shall thereafter be entitled to
purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of
shares of Preferred Stock (calculated to the nearest whole share) obtained by
multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by
the number of shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof
immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the
Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.
(e) RIGHT TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL STOCK. If, the Warrantholder's total cost
of equipment leased pursuant to the Leases exceeds $500,000, Warrantholder shall
have the right to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (adjusted as
set forth herein), an additional number of shares, which number shall be
determined by (i) multiplying the amount by which the Warrantholder's total
equipment cost exceeds $500,000 by 4% and (ii) dividing the product thereof by
the Exercise Price per share referenced above.
(f) ANTIDILUTION RIGHTS. Additional antidilution rights applicable to the
Preferred Stock purchasable hereunder are as set forth in the Company's Articles
of Incorporation, as amended through the Effective Date, a true and complete
copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit __ (the "Charter"). The Company
shall promptly provide the Warrantholder with any restatement, amendment,
modification or waiver of the Charter. The Company shall provide Warrantholder
with prior written notice of any issuance of its stock or other equity security
to occur after the Effective Date of this Warrant, which notice shall include
(a) the price at which such stock or security is to be sold, (b) the number of
shares to be issued, and (c) such other information as necessary for
Warrantholder to determine if a dilutive event has occurred.
(g) NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS. If: (i) the Company shall declare any dividend
or distribution upon its stock, whether in cash, property, stock or other
securities; (ii) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the
holders of any class of its Preferred or other convertible stock any additional
shares of stock of any class or other rights; (iii) there shall be any Merger
Event; (iv) there shall be an initial public offering; or (v) there shall be any
voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; then, in
connection with each such event, the Company shall send to the Warrantholder:
(A) at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice of the date on which the
books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend,
distribution, subscription rights (specifying the date on which the holders of
Preferred Stock shall be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote in
respect of such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding up; (B) in the
case of any such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least
twenty (20) days' prior written notice of the date when the same shall take
place (and specifying the date on which the holders of Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to exchange their Preferred Stock for securities or other property
deliverable upon such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding up); and
(C) in the case of a public offering, the Company shall give the Warrantholder
at least twenty (20) days' written notice prior to the effective date thereof.
Each such written notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, (i) the
event requiring the adjustment, (ii) the amount of the adjustment, (iii) the
method by which such adjustment was calculated, (iv) the Exercise Price, and (v)
the number of shares subject to purchase hereunder after
5
giving effect to such adjustment, and shall be given by first class mail,
postage prepaid, addressed to the Warrantholder, at the address as shown on the
books of the Company.
(h) TIMELY NOTICE. Failure to timely provide such notice required by
subsection (g) above shall entitle Warrantholder to retain the benefit of the
applicable notice period notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
any insufficient notice received by Warrantholder. The notice period shall begin
on the date Warrantholder actually receives a written notice containing all the
information specified above.
9. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

Company has made available to the Warrantholder true, correct and complete
copies of its Charter and Bylaws, as amended. The issuance of certificates for

issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the
Warrantholder.
(b) DUE AUTHORITY. The execution and delivery by the Company of this
Warrant Agreement and the performance of all obligations of the Company
hereunder, including the issuance to Warrantholder of the right to acquire the

binding agreements of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their
respective terms.
(c) CONSENTS AND APPROVALS. No consent or approval of, giving of notice to,
registration with, or taking of any other action in respect of any state,
Federal or other governmental authority or agency is required with respect to

which filings will be effective by the time required thereby.
(d) ISSUED SECURITIES. All issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock,
Preferred Stock or any other securities of the Company have been duly authorized

per share.

financing, the Company has reserved approximately 6,050,000 shares of
Common Stock for issuance under its Stock Option Plan, under which
4,252,421 options were outstanding at exercise prices of not more than

privileges or other rights presently outstanding to purchase or otherwise
acquire any authorized but unissued shares of the Company's capital stock
or other securities of the Company.
(iii) In accordance with the Company's Articles of Incorporation, no
shareholder of the Company has preemptive rights to purchase new issuances
of the Company's capital stock.
(e) INSURANCE. The Company has in full force and effect insurance policies,
with extended coverage, insuring the Company and its property and business
against such losses and risks, and in such amounts, as are customary for
corporations engaged in a similar business and similarly situated and as
otherwise may be required pursuant to the terms of any other contract or
agreement.
(f) OTHER COMMITMENTS TO REGISTER SECURITIES. Except as set forth in this
Warrant Agreement, the Company is not, pursuant to the terms of any other
agreement currently in existence, under any obligation to register under the
1933 Act any of its presently outstanding securities or any of its securities
which may hereafter be issued.
(g) EXEMPT TRANSACTION. Subject to the accuracy of the Warrantholder's
representations in Section 10 hereof, the issuance of the Preferred Stock upon
exercise of this Warrant will constitute a transaction exempt from (i) the
registration requirements of Section 5 of the 1933 Act, in reliance upon Section
4(2) thereof, and (ii) the qualification requirements of the applicable state
securities laws.
(h) COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144. At the written request of the Warrantholder,
who proposes to sell Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant
in compliance with Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Company shall furnish to the Warrantholder, within ten days
after receipt of such request, a written statement confirming the Company's
compliance with the filing requirements of the Securities and Exchange
Commission as set forth in such Rule, as such Rule may be amended from time to
time.
10. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE WARRANTHOLDER.
This Warrant Agreement has been entered into by the Company in reliance
upon the following representations and covenants of the Warrantholder:
(a) INVESTMENT PURPOSE. The right to acquire Preferred Stock or the
Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrantholder's rights contained
herein will be acquired for investment and not with a view to the sale or
distribution of any part thereof, and the Warrantholder has no
7
present intention of selling or engaging in any public distribution of the
same except pursuant to a registration or exemption.
(b) PRIVATE ISSUE. The Warrantholder understands (i) that the Preferred
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is not registered under the 1933
Act or qualified under applicable state securities laws on the ground that the
issuance contemplated by this Warrant Agreement will be exempt from the
registration and qualifications requirements thereof, and (ii) that the
Company's reliance on such exemption is predicated on the representations set
forth in this Section 10.
(c) DISPOSITION OF WARRANTHOLDER'S RIGHTS. In no event will the
Warrantholder make a disposition of any of its rights to acquire Preferred Stock
or Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of such rights unless and until (i) it
shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition, and (ii) if
requested by the Company, it shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of
counsel (which counsel may either be inside or outside counsel to the
Warrantholder) satisfactory to the Company and its counsel to the effect that
(A) appropriate action necessary for compliance with the 1933 Act has been
taken, or (B) an exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act is
available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions imposed upon the
transferability of any of its rights to acquire Preferred Stock or Preferred
Stock issuable on the exercise of such rights do not apply to transfers from the
beneficial owner of any of the aforementioned securities to its nominee or from
such nominee to its beneficial owner, and shall terminate as to any particular
share of Preferred Stock when (1) such security shall have been effectively
registered under the 1933 Act and sold by the holder thereof in accordance with
such registration or (2) such security shall have been sold without registration
in compliance with Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, or (3) a letter shall have been
issued to the Warrantholder at its request by the staff of the Securities and
Exchange Commission or a ruling shall have been issued to the Warrantholder at
its request by such Commission stating that no action shall be recommended by
such staff or taken by such Commission, as the case may be, if such security is
transferred without registration under the 1933 Act in accordance with the
conditions set forth in such letter or ruling and such letter or ruling
specifies that no subsequent restrictions on transfer are required. Whenever the
restrictions imposed hereunder shall terminate, as hereinabove provided, the
Warrantholder or holder of a share of Preferred Stock then outstanding as to
which such restrictions have terminated shall be entitled to receive from the
Company, without expense to such holder, one or more new certificates for the
Warrant or for such shares of Preferred Stock not bearing any restrictive
legend.
(d) FINANCIAL RISK. The Warrantholder has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of its investment, and has the ability to bear the economic risks of its
investment.
(e) RISK OF NO REGISTRATION. The Warrantholder understands that if the
Company does not register with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant
to Section 12 of the 1934 Act (the "1934 Act"), or file reports pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act, or if a registration statement covering the
securities under the 1933 Act is not in effect when it desires to sell (i) the
rights to purchase Preferred Stock pursuant to this Warrant Agreement, or (ii)
the Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the right to purchase, it may be
required to hold such securities for an indefinite period. The Warrantholder
also understands that any sale of its rights of the Warrantholder to purchase
Preferred Stock or Preferred Stock which might be made by it in reliance upon
Rule 144 under the 1933 Act may be made only in accordance with the terms and
conditions of that Rule.
8
(f) ACCREDITED INVESTOR. Warrantholder is an "accredited investor" within
the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Rule 501 of Regulation D, as
presently in effect.
11. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER.
In accordance with the provisions of Section 4 of the Company's Second
Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement dated as of March 10, 1998 (the
"Rights Agreement"), if the Company proposes to offer any shares of, or
securities convertible into or exercisable for any shares of, any class of its
capital stock ("Shares"), subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph (d)
thereof, the Company shall promptly provide Warrantholder with an offer to sell
Warrantholder a portion of such Shares equal to the proportion that the number
of shares of Preferred Stock to be issued upon exercise hereunder or number of
shares of common stock upon conversion thereof, bears to the total number of
shares of common stock of the Company then outstanding (assuming full conversion
of all shares of Preferred Stock).
12. TRANSFERS.
Subject to the terms and conditions contained in Section 10 hereof, this
Warrant Agreement and all rights hereunder are transferable in whole or in part
by the Warrantholder and any successor transferee, provided, however, in no
event shall the number of transfers of the rights and interests in all of the
Warrants exceed three (3) transfers. The transfer shall be recorded on the books
of the Company upon receipt by the Company of a notice of transfer in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit III (the "Transfer Notice"), at its principal offices
and the payment to the Company of all transfer taxes and other governmental
charges imposed on such transfer.

construed for all purposes under and in accordance with the laws of the State of

party may proceed to protect and enforce its rights either by suit in equity
and/or by action at law, including but not limited to an action for damages as a
result of any such default, and/or an action for specific performance for any
default where Warrantholder will not have an adequate remedy at law and where
damages will not be readily ascertainable. The Company expressly agrees that it
shall not oppose an application by the Warrantholder or any other person
entitled to the benefit of this Agreement requiring specific performance of any
or all provisions hereof or enjoining the Company from continuing to commit any
such breach of this Agreement.
(g) NO IMPAIRMENT OF RIGHTS. The Company will not, by amendment of its

Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Warrant Agreement.
(i) SEVERABILITY. In the event any one or more of the provisions of this
Warrant Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Warrant Agreement shall be
unimpaired, and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be
replaced by a mutually acceptable valid, legal and enforceable provision, which
comes closest to the intention of the parties underlying the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provision.
(j) AMENDMENTS. Any provision of this Warrant Agreement may be amended by a
