TO

This Amendment No. 7 to Preferred Stock Rights Agreement (this “Amendment”) is dated as of February 10, 2005, between Critical Path, Inc. (the “Company”), and Computershare Trust Company, Inc. (the “Rights Agent”), with reference to the following:

 

A. The Company and the Rights Agent entered into that certain Preferred Stock Rights Agreement, dated as of March 19, 2001, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Preferred Stock Rights Agreement, dated as of November 6, 2001, that certain Amendment No. 2 to Preferred Stock Rights Agreement, dated as of November 18, 2003, that certain Amendment No. 3 to Preferred Stock Rights Agreement, dated as of January 16, 2004, that certain Amendment No. 4 to Preferred Stock Rights Agreement, dated as of March 9, 2004, that certain Amendment No. 5 to Preferred Stock Rights Agreement dated as of June 24, 2004 and that certain Amendment No. 6 to Preferred Stock Rights Agreement dated December 29, 2004 (the “Agreement”).

 

B. Under the Agreement, the Company and the Rights Agent may amend the Agreement, at any time prior to a Distribution Date, which has yet to occur.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to Section 27 of the Agreement, the Company and the Rights Agent hereby amend, effective upon the date hereof, the Agreement as follows:

 

1. The definition of the term “Acquiring Person” set forth in Section 1(a) of the Agreement is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

 

“(a) “ACQUIRING PERSON” shall mean any Person who or which, together with all Affiliates and Associates of such Person, shall be the Beneficial Owner of 15% or more of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding, but shall not include the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or any employee benefit plan of the Company or of any Subsidiary of the Company, or any entity holding Common Shares for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Person shall be deemed to be an Acquiring Person as the result of an acquisition of Common Shares, Exchangeable Shares or Common Voting Equivalents by the Company which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the proportionate number of shares beneficially owned by such Person to 15% or more of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding; provided, however, that if a Person shall become the Beneficial Owner of 15% or more of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding by reason of share repurchases by the Company and shall, after such share repurchases by the Company, become the Beneficial Owner of any additional Common Shares of the Company (other than pursuant to a dividend or distribution paid or made by (i) the Company on the outstanding Common Shares of the Company in Common Shares of the Company or pursuant to a split or subdivision of the outstanding Common Shares of the Company, (ii) Exchangeco on the outstanding Exchangeable Shares in Exchangeable Shares or pursuant to a split or subdivision of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares or (iii) the Company on the outstanding Common Voting Equivalents in Common Voting Equivalents or pursuant to a split or subdivision of the

 


outstanding Common Voting Equivalents), then such Person shall be deemed to be an Acquiring Person unless, upon becoming the Beneficial Owner of such additional Common Shares of the Company, such Person does not beneficially own 15% or more of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

 

  (i) if the Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith that a Person who would otherwise be an “Acquiring Person,” as defined pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1(a), has become such inadvertently (including, without limitation, because (x) such Person was unaware that such Person Beneficially Owned a percentage of the Common Shares of the Company that would otherwise cause such Person to be an “Acquiring Person,” as defined pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1(a), or (y) such Person was aware of the extent of the Common Shares of the Company such Person Beneficially Owned but had no actual knowledge of the consequences of such Beneficial Ownership under this Agreement) and without any intention of changing or influencing control of the Company, and if such Person divested or divests as promptly as practicable a sufficient number of Common Shares or Common Voting Equivalents, so that such Person would no longer be an “Acquiring Person,” as defined pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1(a), then such Person shall not be deemed to be or to have become an “Acquiring Person” for any purposes of this Agreement;

 

  (ii) if, as of the date of this Agreement, any Person is the Beneficial Owner of 15% or more of the Common Shares of the Company outstanding, such Person shall not be or become an “Acquiring Person,” as defined pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1(a), unless and until such time as such Person shall become the Beneficial Owner of additional Common Shares of the Company (other than pursuant to a dividend or distribution paid or made by (x) the Company on the outstanding Common Shares in Common Shares or pursuant to a split or subdivision of the outstanding Common Shares or (y) Exchangeco on the outstanding Exchangeable Shares in Exchangeable Shares or pursuant to a split or subdivision of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares), unless, upon becoming the Beneficial Owner of such additional Common Shares of the Company, such Person is not then the Beneficial Owner of 15% or more of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding; and

 

  (iii) the term “Acquiring Person” shall not mean:

by reason of repurchases of Common Shares or Common Voting Equivalents by the Company, or a dividend or distribution paid or made by the Company or Exchangeco on, or a split or subdivision of, any shares of their respective capital stock) its Beneficial Ownership of Common Shares of the Company to a percentage of the outstanding shares of Common Shares of the Company at any time that is greater than: (1) the percentage of the outstanding shares of Common Shares of the Company represented by the sum of (x) the shares of Common Shares of the Company as to which GAP has Beneficial Ownership as of the close of business on December 29, 2004, assuming, for purposes of this calculation, all warrants and other securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Shares or Common Voting Equivalents, or any other rights to purchase Common Shares or Common Voting Equivalents, in all cases where held or enjoyed by GAP, are immediately convertible or exercisable, plus (y) the shares of Common Shares of the Company as to which GAP obtains (or is entitled to obtain) Beneficial Ownership directly from the Company pursuant to the consummation of the transactions described in that certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “December Purchase Agreement”), dated December 29, 2004, by and among the Company and the “Investors” party thereto, including; or (2) such lesser percentage of shares of Common Shares of the Company as to which GAP has Beneficial Ownership following any transfer of securities by GAP after consummation of the transactions described in the December Purchase Agreement (except that this clause A shall pertain only until such time as GAP has Beneficial Ownership of less than fifteen percent (15%) of the outstanding shares of Common Shares of the Company); provided, that any shares of Common Shares of the Company Beneficially Owned by one or more officers or directors of the Company where (x) such officers or directors are also included within the term “GAP” and (y) such shares of Common Shares and Common Voting Equivalents were distributed directly by the Company to such officers or directors as equity-based compensation, shall be excluded from the calculation of the Beneficial Ownership of GAP for purposes of the definition of “Acquiring Person” if the inclusion of such shares of Common Shares and Common Voting Equivalents in such calculation, by itself, would otherwise cause GAP to be an Acquiring Person;
