RECITALS
--------
WHEREAS, the Company, the Founders, the Series B Investors and the Series C
Investors entered into an Amended and Restated Voting Agreement dated as of
February 19, 1999 (the "Original Agreement").
------------------
WHEREAS, NCI has consummated a reorganization (the "Reorganization")
pursuant to which NorthPoint became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Reorganization was effected by a merger between NCI and another Delaware
corporation formed solely for this purpose, which was a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company, with NCI as the surviving corporation of such merger. As a
result of the Reorganization, each of the holders of capital stock of NCI
immediately prior to the consummation of the Reorganization became the only
holders of capital stock of the Company immediately after the consummation of
the Reorganization, each holding the same number of shares of capital stock of
the same class of the Company with the same rights, privileges, terms and
conditions as the shares of capital stock of NCI held by such holders
immediately prior to the consummation of the Reorganization. The Company owns
all of the capital stock of NCI and has no other significant assets. The
Company, NCI, the Founders, the Series B Investors and the Series C Investors
each desire amend and restate the Original Agreement as set forth herein to
reflect the Reorganization.
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 5 of the Original Agreement, the Original
Agreement may be amended by written consent of (i) NCI, (ii) holders of at least
a majority of the shares of Common Stock issuable or issued upon the conversion
of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock, (iii) holders of at least 66 2/3% of
the shares of Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of the Company's
Series C Preferred Stock, and (iv) holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock of the Company then owned by the Founders as a group.
