the Board are to be elected by written consent, the Founder, Xxxxxxx and the
Investors agree to vote or act with respect to their shares so as to elect:
(a) Two (2) persons designated by Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx

other such designee shall be reasonably acceptable to a majority of the
remaining Board members (excluding the KPCB designees). Such persons shall
initially be Xxxx Xxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxx. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
parties hereto shall not be obligated to vote or act to elect any representative

splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like);
(b) Two (2) persons designated by Xxxxxx.xxx. One such designee may
be made at Xxxxxx.xxx's sole discretion and the other such designee shall be
reasonably acceptable to a majority of the remaining Board members (excluding
the Xxxxxx.xxx designees). Such persons shall initially be Xxxxxxx Xxxxx and
such other designee as may be named at any time by Xxxxxx.xxx. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the parties hereto shall not be obligated to vote or act to elect
any representative of Xxxxxx.xxx if Xxxxxx.xxx, together with all of its
affiliates, does not hold at least 2,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock
(as adjusted for any future stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and
the like);
(c) One (1) person designated by Vulcan. Such person shall initially
be Xxxxxxx Xxxxx. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto shall not
be obligated to vote or act to elect any representative of Vulcan (i) until that
certain convertible Promissory Note, dated May 19, 1999 is converted into shares
of the Company's equity securities and (ii) if Vulcan, together with all of its
affiliates, does not hold at least 2,000,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock
(as adjusted for any future stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and
the like after May 18, 1999);
(d) Xxx Xxxxx, unless the Board has determined by majority vote
(excluding Xx. Xxxxx) that Xx. Xxxxx is no longer a valuable contributor to the
Company and therefore should no longer continue to serve as a director; and
(e) Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, unless the Board has determined by majority vote
(excluding Xx. Xxxxxxx) that Xx. Xxxxxxx is no longer a valuable contributor to
the Company and therefore should no longer continue to serve as a director.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, at any
time after the date of this Agreement, either KPCB or Xxxxxx.xxx may (by written
notice to the other party and the Company) withdraw its right to designate two
Board members. In such event, KPCB and Xxxxxx.xxx shall each cause one of its
designees to resign from the Board; thereafter, KPCB and Xxxxxx.xxx shall each
have the right to designate one Board member, selected in such party's sole
discretion.
In the event of any termination, removal or resignation of any
director (other than as provided in the previous paragraph), the parties hereto
shall take all actions necessary and appropriate to cause such vacancy to be
filled in the manner by which such director was elected pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement.
