Exhibit 9.1

VOTING AGREEMENT

THIS VOTING AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of December 19, 2002 by and among the undersigned stockholders (each, a “Stockholder,” and collectively, the “Stockholders”) of Occam Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and each of the Company’s executive officers and directors, and is for the benefit of the Company and the individuals listed on Exhibit A to that certain Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement of even date herewith by and among the Company and such Investors (each, an “Investor,” and collectively, the “Investors”).

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Investors (or an affiliate thereof) and the Company are entering into a Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement of even date herewith (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”) which provides, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, for Investors’ purchase of preferred stock to be issued by the Company.

WHEREAS, as a condition to the willingness of Investor to enter into the Purchase Agreement, Investor has requested that the Stockholder agrees, and, in order to induce Investor to enter into the Purchase Agreement, the Stockholders and each of the Company’s executive officers and directors has agreed to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.  Representations of Stockholders.   As of immediately prior to the Initial Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), each of the Stockholders represents and warrants to the Company and the Investors that (a) such Stockholder lawfully owns beneficially (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) and of record that number of shares of Common Stock of the Company set forth opposite such Stockholder’s name on Appendix 1 (collectively, the “Shares”), respectively, free and clear of any mortgage, pledge, security interest, encumbrance, charge or other lien (whether arising by contract or operation of law) and, except for this Agreement, there are no options, warrants or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character to which such Stockholder is a party relating to the pledge, disposition or Voting (as defined herein) of any shares of capital stock of the Company and there are no Voting trusts, proxies or Voting agreements with respect to such Shares, (b) such Stockholder does not beneficially own (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) any additional shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock of the Company other than the Shares and, except as disclosed on Appendix 1, does not have any options, warrants or other rights to acquire any additional shares of capital stock of the Company or any security exercisable for or convertible into shares of capital stock of the Company, and (c) such Stockholder has full power and authority to enter into, execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform such Stockholder’s obligations hereunder. Each of the Stockholders further represents and warrants to the Company and the Investors that the execution and delivery of this Agreement do not and the performance of this Agreement by such Stockholder will not: (a) conflict with or violate any law, rule, regulation, order, decree or judgment applicable to such Stockholder or by which it or any of its

1

assets is or may be bound or affected; (b) result in or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) any breach of or default under, or give to any other individual or entity (with or without notice or lapse of time) any right of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result (with or without notice or lapse of time) in the creation of any encumbrance or restriction on any of the Subject Securities (as defined herein) pursuant to, any contract to which such Stockholder is a party or by which such Stockholder or any of such Stockholder’s affiliates or assets is or may be bound or affected; or (c) require any consent or approval of any other Person. For purposes of this Agreement, “Vote” shall include voting of Shares in person or by proxy in favor of or against any action or consenting to any action in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law, and “Voting” shall have a correlative meaning. For purposes of this Agreement, “Subject Securities” shall mean: (i) all securities of the Company (including all shares of capital stock of the Company and all options, warrants and other rights to acquire shares of capital stock of the Company) owned beneficially or of record by a Stockholder as of the date of this Agreement; and (ii) all additional securities of the Company (including all additional shares of capital stock of the Company and all additional options, warrants and other rights to acquire shares of capital stock of the Company) which a Stockholder acquires or becomes the owner of beneficially or of record during the period from the date of this Agreement through the Termination Date (as defined below).

2.  Agreement to Vote Shares.  For the purpose of effecting the automatic conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock to be issued under the Purchase Agreement, during the period from the date of this Agreement through the Termination Date, each of the undersigned Stockholders hereby agrees to Vote all Subject Securities (to the extent then entitled to Vote) at every meeting of the stockholders of the Company and at any adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every matter submitted for action or approval by written consent of the stockholders of the Company (a) IN FAVOR OF an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation which relates solely to increasing the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock of the Company, in an amount determined by the Company’s Board of Directors at least sufficient to cause the automatic conversion of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, and (b) IN FAVOR OF any matter in furtherance of consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (including the foregoing increase in authorized Common Stock). The agreement contained in this Section 2 is irrevocable to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law.

3.  No Voting Trusts.  Each of the Stockholders agrees that, prior to the Termination Date, such Stockholder will not, nor will such Stockholder permit any Person under such Stockholder’s control to, deposit any of the Subject Securities in a voting trust or subject any of the Subject Securities to any proxy or arrangement with respect to the Voting of the Subject Securities other than agreements entered into with the Company.

4.  Transfer and Encumbrance.  Each of the Stockholders agrees that, prior to the Termination Date (as defined in Section 9(e)), such Stockholder shall not transfer, sell, offer, exchange, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber (or enter into an agreement to do any of the foregoing) any of the Subject Securities. This Section 4 shall not prohibit a transfer of Subject Securities by a Stockholder (i) to an “affiliate” of such Stockholder (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act), or (ii) to a partner, active or retired of such Stockholder, provided, however, that a transfer referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of this sentence shall be permitted only if, as a precondition

2

to such transfer, each transferee agrees in a writing, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Each of the Stockholders also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Shares except in compliance with the foregoing restriction.

5.  Legending of Shares; Other Actions.  If so requested by the Company, each Stockholder agrees that the Shares shall bear a legend stating that they are subject to this Agreement. From time to time and without additional consideration, each Stockholder shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional proxies, consents and other instruments, and shall take such further actions, as the Company may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out and furthering the intent of this Agreement.

6.  Specific Performance.  Each Stockholder hereto acknowledges that it will be impossible to measure in money the damages to the Company if such Stockholder fails to comply with any of the obligations imposed by this Agreement and that, in the event of any such failure, the Company will not have an adequate remedy at law or damages. Accordingly, each Stockholder hereto agrees that injunctive relief or other equitable remedy, in addition to remedies at law or damages, is the appropriate remedy for any such failure and will not oppose the granting of such relief on the basis that the Company has an adequate remedy at law.

7.  Entire Agreement, Amendment, Waiver.  This Agreement (including the exhibits hereto) supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and contains the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or modified, and no provisions hereof may be modified or waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by all the parties hereto. No waiver of any provisions hereof by any party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provisions hereof by any such party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing waiver of any provision hereof by such party.

8.  Notices.  All notices, requests, claims, demands or other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered personally, upon receipt of a transmission confirmation if sent by fax or like transmission and on the next business day when sent by Federal Express, Express Mail or other reputable overnight courier service to the parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice):
