2

5.5 Restricted Securities.

In this connection, the Holder is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

Corporation Service Company

2711 Centerville Road, Suite 400

City of Wilmington, Delaware 19808

County of New Castle

 

ARTICLE III

 

The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

ARTICLE IV

 

A. The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock to be designated respectively Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) and Common Stock (“Common Stock”). The total number of shares of capital stock this Corporation is authorized to issue one hundred five million (105,000,000). The total number of shares of Preferred Stock this Corporation shall have authority to issue is five million (5,000,000). The total number of shares of Common Stock this Corporation shall have authority to issue is [one hundred million (100,000,000)]. The Preferred Stock shall have a par value of $.001 per share and the Common Stock shall have a par value of $.001 per share.

 

B. The shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) is expressly authorized to provide for the issue of all or any of the remaining shares of the Preferred Stock in one or more series, and to fix the number of shares and to determine or alter for each such series, such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences, and relative, participating, optional, or other rights and such qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors

 

A-1


providing for the issue of such shares (a “Preferred Stock Designation”) and as may be permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The Board of Directors is also expressly authorized to increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series subsequent to the issue of shares of that series. In case the number of shares of any such series shall be so decreased, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status that they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.

 

C. At the time this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation becomes effective, (i) each share of 6.75% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at such time shall be, and hereby is, changed and reclassified into              (            )1 fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock. Each outstanding stock certificate of the Corporation which, immediately prior to the time this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation becomes effective, represented one or more shares of 6.75% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock shall thereafter represent              (            )1 shares of Common Stock for each such share indicated therein. Any fractional share resulting from the reclassification will be rounded up to the nearest whole share (or paid in cash, per Certificate of Designation).

 

D. At the time this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation becomes effective, the prior designations of 6.75% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, 6.75% Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock shall be eliminated and there shall be no series of Preferred Stock designated by the Board of Directors.

 

ARTICLE V

 

A. No action shall be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation except at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders called in accordance with the Bylaws and following the closing of the initial public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), covering the offer and sale of Common Stock to the public (the “Initial Public Offering”) no action shall be taken by the stockholders by written consent.

 

B. Special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may only be called in the manner provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation.


1 The conversion ratio shall be set such that the Series A Preferred Stock shall be converted into that number of shares of Common Stock representing seventy-three percent (73%) of the post-conversion capitalization of the Company. For purposes of the conversion ratio calculation, the post-conversion capitalization will include all outstanding shares of Common Stock and all options and notes exercisable for or convertible into Common Stock and options to purchase Common Stock that have a (split adjusted) exercise price less than or equal to $5.00 per share; however the post-conversion capitalization will exclude fifty percent (50%) of those warrants to purchase Common Stock issued in connection with certain loans made to the Company in December 2002 and March 2004. This conversion ratio is currently anticipated to be approximately 13,097 shares of Common Stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock based on the Company’s currently outstanding shares.

 

A-2


C. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

 

ARTICLE VI

 

To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or as may hereafter be amended, a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as director, except (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended.

 

(a) Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than permitted prior thereto), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in paragraph (c) hereof with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors of the Corporation.

 

(b) Right to Advancement of Expenses. The right to indemnification conferred in paragraph (a) of this Section shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any proceeding for which such right to indemnification is applicable in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an

 

A-3


employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section or otherwise.

 

(c) Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section shall be contract rights. If a claim under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty (20) days, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) in any suit by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Section or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

 

(d) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Section shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

 

(e) Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

A-4


(f) Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification, and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Section with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.

 

(g) Amendment. Neither any amendment nor repeal of this Article VI, nor the adoption of any provision of the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article VI, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article VI in respect of any matter occurring, or action or proceeding accruing or arising or that, but for this Article VI, would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

 

ARTICLE VII

 

A. Subject to the provisions of Article VI, Section (g), the Corporation reserves the right to adopt, repeal, rescind or amend in any respect any provisions contained in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by applicable law, and all rights conferred on stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.

 

B. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation or any provision of law which might otherwise permit a lesser vote or not vote, but in addition to any affirmative vote of the holders of any particular class or series of the Voting Stock required by law, this Certificate of Incorporation or any Preferred Stock Designation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of Voting Stock, voting together as a single class, shall be required to alter, amend or repeal Articles V, VI or VII.

EXHIBIT C

 

Amendment No. 1 to Registration Rights Agreement

 

C-1


eGAIN COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION

 

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

 

This AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”), dated as of                      , 2004, between eGAIN COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and certain undersigned holders of the 6.75% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company set forth on Schedule I attached hereto (the “Holders”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, the Company and the holders of the 6.75% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company have previously entered into that certain Registration Rights Agreement dated as of August 22, 2000 (the “Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company, among other things, granted certain registration rights to the Holders;

 

WHEREAS, the Company and certain Holders are parties to an Agreement and Voting Agreement each dated as of September     , 2004, pursuant to which such Holders have agreed to modify certain rights held by such Holders in return for the enhanced liquidity associated with an earlier conversion of the Series A Preferred into Common Stock (the “Conversion”); and

 

WHEREAS, in connection with the Conversion, the Company and the undersigned Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities (as defined in the Rights Agreement) hereby desire to amend the Rights Agreement to provide for an additional demand registration right and to lower the threshold for shares to be included in an underwritten offering, as set forth in this Amendment:

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective promises, covenants and agreements set forth herein:

 

1) Amendments.

 

Section 3(a) of the Prior Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety:

 

Shelf Registration. The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission, as soon as practicable following the date hereof but in any event no later than 60 days from the date hereof (the “Filing Date”), a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act (a “Shelf Registration”) registering the resale from time to time by holders of all of the Registrable Securities (the “Initial Shelf Registration”). The Initial Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-3 or another appropriate form permitting registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by the holders in the manner or manners designated by them, and shall cover all shares of Common Stock that could be issued within two years of the effectiveness of the Initial Shelf Registration. If the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities so elect (the “Underwriting Initiating Holders”), an offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement may be effected in the form of a firm commitment underwritten offering; provided that the Company shall not be obligated to cooperate with the Designated Holders hereunder in connection with more then four (4) such underwritten offerings or in connection with any underwritten offering where the aggregate offering price is less than $1 million (calculated

 

1


based upon the average of the Market Price of the Common Stock on three trading days prior to the date on which request for the underwritten offering is presented to the Company). The Company shall use its best efforts to cause such underwritten offering to occur and the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such offering shall be the Approved Underwriter selected in accordance with Section 3(g). In connection with any underwritten offering, the Company shall not be required to include any Registrable Securities in such underwritten offering unless the Designated Holders thereof accept the terms of the underwritten offering as agreed upon by the Company, the Approved Underwriter and the Underwriting Initiating Holders, and then only in such quantity as such underwriter believes will not jeopardize the success of such offering. If the Approved Underwriter believes that the registration of all or part of the Registrable Securities which the Underwriting Initiating Holders and the other Designated Holders have requested to be included would materially adversely affect the success of such public offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the underwritten offering, to the extent of the amount that the Approved Underwriter believes may be sold without causing such adverse effect, first, all of the Registrable Securities to be offered for the account of the Designated Holders who requested inclusion of their Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 5(a), pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities owned by such Designated Holders; and second, any other securities requested to be included in such offering. The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the Initial Shelf Registration to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable following the date of the meeting of shareholders called to consider the Requisite Shareholder Approvals but in any event no later than 180 days from the date hereof (the “Effectiveness Deadline”), and to keep the Initial Shelf Registration continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of the expiration of the Effectiveness Period or the date a Subsequent Shelf Registration, as defined below, covering all of the Registrable Securities has been declared effective under the Securities Act.”

 

A new Section 9(m) is hereby added to the Rights Agreement which shall read in its entirety:

 

Lockup Agreement. Reference is made to that certain Restructuring Agreement by and among the Company and certain holders of Registrable Securities dated as of September     , 2004 (the “Restructuring Agreement”). No Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by such Holder issued upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock during the one hundred and twenty (120) day period following the Closing (as defined in the Restructuring Agreement) of the Conversion (as defined in the Restructuring Agreement).”

 

2) Miscellaneous.

 

(a) Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings as set forth in the Agreement.

 

(b) Other than with respect to the amendment of Section 3(a) and the addition of Section 9(m) of the Rights Agreement set forth above, this Amendment does not modify, change or delete any other addendum, term, provision, representation, warranty or covenant (the “Provisions”) relating to or contained in the Rights Agreement, and all such Provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

 

2


(c) This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with and shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its laws as to conflict of laws.

 

(d) This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

(e) This Amendment and any of the provisions hereof may not be amended, altered or added to in any manner except by a document in writing and signed by the parties hereto.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the duly authorized officer of each party hereto as of the date first above written.
