Size of the Board. Each Stockholder agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, all Shares (as defined below) owned by such Stockholder, or over which such Stockholder has voting control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to ensure that the size of the Board shall be set and remain at ten (10) directors and may be increased only with the written consent of New Holders representing at least a majority of the Exchange Shares then held by New Holders and Key Holders holding a majority of the Shares held by Key Holders. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Shares” shall mean and include any securities of the Company the holders of which are entitled to vote for members of the Board, by whatever name called, now owned or subsequently acquired by a Stockholder, however acquired, whether through stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications, recapitalizations, similar events or otherwise.
1.2
Board Composition. Each Stockholder agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, all Shares owned by such Stockholder, or over which such Stockholder has voting control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to ensure that at each annual or special meeting of stockholders at which an election of directors is held or pursuant to any written consent of the stockholders, the following persons shall be elected to the Board:
(a)
Such number of people designated by the holders of a majority of the shares of Exchange Stock held by New Holders as equals the total number of Exchange Shares held by New Holders divided by the total number of shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding on a fully diluted basis (the “New Shareholder Designees”); provided that the number of New Shareholder Designees shall not be more than two (2). The initial New Shareholder Designees shall be Xxxxx Xxxx Xxx Xxx and Xxx Xxx Hung.

(b)
the remaining members of the Board shall be voted upon by all the stockholders of the Company entitled to vote thereon in accordance with, and pursuant to, the Articles.
For purposes of this Agreement, an individual, firm, corporation, partnership, association, limited liability company, trust or any other entity (collectively, a “Person”) shall be deemed an “Affiliate” of another Person who, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Person, including, without limitation, any general partner, managing member, officer or director of such Person or any venture capital fund now or hereafter existing that is controlled by one or more general partners or managing members of, or shares the same management company with, such Person.

(a)
no director elected pursuant to Sections 1.2 or 1.3 of this Agreement may be removed from office other than for cause unless (i) such removal is directed or approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of stock, entitled under Section 1.2 to designate that director or (ii) the Person(s) originally entitled to designate or approve such director pursuant to Section 1.2 is no longer so entitled to designate or approve such director;
