 Exhibit 10.47 
 OCCAM NETWORKS, INC.
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
           This Employment Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of
June 17, 2002, by and between Occam Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Howard Bailey (“Executive”).  This Agreement will be effective as of first day of employment (the “Effective
Date”).
           1.          Duties and Scope of Employment.
                         (a)        Positions and
Duties.  As of the Effective Date, Executive will serve as Chief Financial Officer of the Company.  Executive will render such business and professional services in the performance of his duties, consistent with Executive’s
position within the Company, as shall reasonably be assigned to him by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).  The period of Executive’s employment under this Agreement is referred to herein as the “Employment
Term.”
                         (b)        Obligations. 
During the Employment Term, Executive will perform his duties faithfully and to the best of his ability and will devote his full business efforts and time to the Company.  For the duration of the Employment Term, Executive agrees not to
actively engage in any other employment, occupation or consulting activity for any direct or indirect remuneration without the prior approval of the Board.
           2.          At-Will Employment.  Executive’s employment with the Company will be
“at-will” employment and may be terminated at any time with or without cause or notice.  Neither Executive’s job performance nor promotions, commendations, bonuses or the like from the Company give rise to or in any way serve as
the basis for modification, amendment, or extension, by implication or otherwise, of his employment with the Company.
           3.          Compensation.
                         (a)        Base Salary. 
During the Employment Term, the Company will pay Executive as compensation for his services a base salary of $7,307.70 per bi-weekly pay period (the “Base Salary”).  The Base Salary will be paid periodically in accordance with the
Company’s normal payroll practices and be subject to the usual, required withholding.
                         (b)        Bonus.  Executive
will be entitled to participate in the Company’s Management Incentive Program.  In accordance with such program, Executive will be entitled to 30% of Executive’s annualized base salary if 100% of targeted revenues are achieved and 60%
of Executive’s annualized base salary if 150% of targeted revenues are achieved.  In the event such bonus amounts are not paid, Executive will receive a guaranteed $25,000 bonus in December 2002, subject to Executive’s continued
employment with the Company.
           4.          Stock Options.  At the first
meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors following the commencement of Executive’s employment, Executive will be granted a stock option, which will be, to the extent possible under the $100,000 rule of Section 422(d) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), an “incentive stock option” (as defined in Section 422 of the Code), 
  

 
  to purchase 2,400,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the
Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant, as determined in good faith by the Board (the “Option”).  The Option will vest as to 1/4th of the shares subject to the Option on the first anniversary of the commencement
of Executive’s employment, and as to 1/48th of the shares subject to the Option monthly thereafter, so that the Option will be fully vested and exercisable four years from the date of grant, subject to Executive’s continued
service to the Company on the relevant vesting dates.  The Option will be subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the Company’s 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Plan”) and the stock option agreement by and
between Executive and the Company (the “Option Agreement”), both of which documents are incorporated herein by reference.  In the case of any conflict between the terms of the Plan or the Option Agreement and the terms of this letter,
the terms of this Agreement will govern.
           5.          Employee Benefits. 
During the Employment Term, Executive will be entitled to participate in the employee benefit plans currently and hereafter maintained by the Company of general applicability to other senior executives of the Company, including, without limitation,
the Company’s group medical, dental, vision, disability, life insurance, and flexible-spending account plans.  The Company reserves the right to cancel or change the benefit plans and programs it offers to its employees at any
time.
           6.           Temporary Living Reimbursement.  Executive’s
services will be performed in Santa Barbara, California unless otherwise approved by the Board.  The Company acknowledges that Executive intends to continue living in the San Francisco Bay area.  During the Employment Term, the Company
will reimburse Executive for reasonable travel expenses between the San Francisco Bay area and Santa Barbara no more than four round trips per month, provided, that any air transportation will be in coach class and that Executive will
properly account for such expenses in accordance with Company policies and procedures.  The Company will also provide Executive with an apartment for his use in Santa Barbara, California.
           7.          Vacation.  Executive will be entitled to paid vacation in accordance with the Company’s
vacation policy, with the timing and duration of specific vacations mutually and reasonably agreed to by the parties hereto.  Executive will be entitled to Company holidays in accordance with the Company’s policies in effect from time to
time.
           8.          Change of Control Benefits.  If within 12 months
following a Change of Control (as defined below) Executive’s employment with the Company or successor corporation is terminated due to an Involuntary Termination, or if there is a change in CEO within first 12 months of Executive’s
employment and Executive’s employment with the Company or successor corporation is terminated due to an Involuntary Termination, and Executive signs and does not revoke a standard release of claims with the Company or successor corporation,
then subject to Section 10, the unvested portion of the Option, if any, will be accelerated and will vest to the extent of an additional 25% of the number of shares originally granted; provided, however, that in no event shall the
number of shares to which Executive is entitled to purchase under the Option exceed the original amount granted under the Option
                          For purposes of this Agreement the following terms shall be defined as
follows:
 -2-
  

 
                          (a)        “Change of Control”
of the Company shall mean the date: (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in
Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; (ii) of the consummation of a merger
or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation that has been approved by the shareholders of the Company, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior
thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 50% of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving
entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company; or (iii)  of the consummation of the sale or disposition by the Company of all or
substantially all the Company’s assets.
                         (b)        “Involuntary
Termination” shall mean the termination of Executive’s employment other than for (i) death or Disability, or (ii) voluntarily or for Cause.
                         (c)        “Cause” shall mean
(i) an act of dishonesty made by Executive in connection with Executive’s responsibilities as an employee, (ii) Executive’s conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony, (iii) Executive’s gross
misconduct, or (iv) Executive’s continued substantial failure to perform his employment duties after Executive has received a written demand for performance from the Board which specifically sets forth the factual basis for the
Board’s belief that Executive has not substantially performed his duties.
                         (d)        “Disability” shall
mean that Executive, at the time notice is given, has been unable to substantially perform his duties under this Agreement for a period of not less than 60 consecutive days as the result of his incapacity due to physical or mental illness.  In
the event that Executive resumes the performance of substantially all of his duties hereunder before the termination of his employment under this Section 8(d) becomes effective, the notice of termination will automatically be deemed to have
been revoked.
           9.          Confidential Information.  Executive agrees to
enter into the Company’s standard at-will Employment, Confidential Information, Invention Assignment, and Arbitration Agreement (the “Confidential Information Agreement”) prior to commencing employment hereunder.  Executive
agrees not to bring any third party confidential information to the Company, including that of Executive’s former employer, and that in performing his duties for the Company Executive will not in any way utilize any such information.

          10.          Conditional Nature of Change of Control Payments; Non-Solicitation. 
Executive’s right to receive the Change of Control payments set forth in Section 8 (to the extent Executive is otherwise entitled to such payments) is conditioned upon Executive not either directly or indirectly soliciting, inducing, attempting
to hire, recruiting, encouraging, taking away, hiring any employee of the Company or successor corporation causing an employee to leave his employment either for Executive or for any other entity or person for one year following the date of
termination.
           11.          Assignment.  This Agreement will be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of (a) the heirs, executors and legal representatives of Executive upon Executive’s death and (b) any successor 
 -3-
  

 
  of the Company.  Any such successor of the Company will be deemed substituted for the Company under the terms of this
Agreement for all purposes.  For this purpose, “successor” means any person, firm, corporation or other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase, merger or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires all or substantially
all of the assets or business of the Company.  None of the rights of Executive to receive any form of compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement may be assigned or transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 
Any other attempted assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of Executive’s right to compensation or other benefits will be null and void.
           12.          Notices.  All notices, requests, demands and other communications called for hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (i) on the date of delivery if delivered personally, (ii) one day after being sent by a well established commercial overnight service, or (iii) four days after being mailed by registered
or certified mail, return receipt requested, prepaid and addressed to the parties or their successors at the following addresses, or at such other addresses as the parties may later designate in writing:
                          If to the Company:

                                     Attn:
Secretary
                          If to Executive:
                                     at the
last residential address known by the Company.
           13.          Severability. 
In the event that any provision hereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement will continue in full force and effect without said provision.
           14.          Arbitration.
                         (a)        General.  In
consideration of Executive’s service to the Company, its promise to arbitrate all employment related disputes and Executive’s receipt of the compensation, pay raises and other benefits paid to Executive by the Company, at present and in
the future, Executive agrees that any and all controversies, claims, or disputes with anyone (including the Company and any employee, officer, director, shareholder or benefit plan of the Company in their capacity as such or otherwise) arising out
of, relating to, or resulting from Executive’s service to the Company under this Agreement or otherwise or the termination of Executive’s service with the Company, including any breach of this Agreement, shall be subject to binding
arbitration under the Arbitration Rules set forth in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1280 through 1294.2, including Section 1283.05 (the “Rules”) and pursuant to California law. Disputes which Executive agrees to arbitrate, and
thereby agrees to waive any right to a trial by jury, include any statutory claims under state or federal law, including, but not limited to, claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the
Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the California Labor Code, claims of harassment, discrimination or wrongful termination and any 
 -4-
  

 
  statutory claims. Executive further understands that this Agreement to arbitrate also applies to any disputes that the
Company may have with Executive.
                         (b)        Procedure.  Any
arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and that a neutral arbitrator will be selected in a manner consistent with its National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes.  The arbitration
proceedings will allow for discovery according to the rules set forth in the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes or California Code of Civil Procedure.  The arbitrator shall have the power to decide any motions
brought by any party to the arbitration, including motions for summary judgment and/or adjudication and motions to dismiss and demurrers, prior to any arbitration hearing.  The arbitrator shall issue a written decision including findings of
fact and conclusions of law on the merits of its award.  The arbitrator shall have the power to award any remedies, including attorneys’ fees and costs, available under applicable law.  The Company will pay for any administrative or
hearing fees charged by the arbitrator or AAA except that Executive shall pay the first $200.00 of any filing fees associated with any arbitration Executive initiates.  The arbitrator shall administer and conduct any arbitration in a manner
consistent with the Rules and that to the extent that the AAA’s National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes conflict with the Rules, the Rules shall take precedence.
                         (c)        Remedy.  Except as
provided by the Rules, arbitration shall be the sole, exclusive and final remedy for any dispute between Executive and the Company.  Accordingly, except as provided for by the Rules, neither Executive nor the Company will be permitted to pursue
court action regarding claims that are subject to arbitration.  Notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have the authority to disregard or refuse to enforce any lawful Company policy, and the arbitrator shall not order or require the Company
to adopt a policy not otherwise required by law which the Company has not adopted.
                         (d)        Availability of Injunctive
Relief.  In addition to the right under the Rules to petition the court for provisional relief, any party may also petition the court for injunctive relief where either party alleges or claims a violation of this Agreement or the
Confidential Information Agreement or any other agreement regarding trade secrets, confidential information, nonsolicitation or Labor Code §2870.  In the event either party seeks injunctive relief, the prevailing party shall be entitled to
recover reasonable costs and attorneys fees.
                         (e)        Administrative
Relief.  Executive understands that this Agreement does not prohibit Executive from pursuing an administrative claim with a local, state or federal administrative body such as the Department of Fair Employment and Housing, the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission or the workers’ compensation board.  This Agreement does, however, preclude Executive from pursuing court action regarding any such claim.
                         (f)        Voluntary Nature of
Agreement.  Executive is executing this Agreement voluntarily and without any duress or undue influence by the Company or anyone else.  Executive has carefully read this Agreement and has asked any questions needed for Executive to
understand the terms, consequences and binding effect of this Agreement and fully understand it, including that Executive is waiving Executive’s right to a jury trial.  Finally, Executive agrees that Executive has been provided an
opportunity to seek the advice of an attorney of Executive’s choice before signing this Agreement.
 -5-
  

 
            15.          Integration.  This Agreement, together with the offer letter dated May 17, 2002, the Stock
Plan, the Option Agreement and the Confidential Information Agreement, represents the entire agreement and understanding between the parties as to the subject matter herein and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements whether written or
oral.  No waiver, alteration, or modification of any of the provisions of this Agreement will be binding unless in writing and signed by duly authorized representatives of the parties hereto.
           16.          Tax Withholding.  All payments made pursuant to this Agreement will be subject to
withholding of applicable taxes.
           17.          Governing Law.  This
Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California (with the exception of its conflict of laws provisions).
           18.          Acknowledgment.  Executive acknowledges that he has had the opportunity to discuss this
matter with and obtain advice from his private attorney, has had sufficient time to, and has carefully read and fully understands all the provisions of this Agreement, and is knowingly and voluntarily entering into this Agreement.

            IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has executed this
Agreement, in the case of the Company by its duly authorized officers, as of the day and year first above written.

                    FURTHER AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

          This FURTHER AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Further
Amendment") is made as of July 15, 2002, between Channell Commercial
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and William H. Channell,
Jr. ("Executive") with reference to the employment agreement between the parties
hereto dated as of July 8, 1996 (the "Employment Agreement") and any prior
amendments thereto. Except otherwise defined in this Further Amendment,
capitalized terms used herein have the same meanings given in the Employment
Agreement.

          NOW, THEREFORE, based on the mutual covenants contained herein and in
the Employment Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

          1.   Further Amendment to Employment Agreement. Section 5.2.2
(Termination Without Cause) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to
provide as follows:

          "If the Company terminates Executive other than for Cause during the
          period July 15, 2002, through July 15, 2003, then in addition to
          amounts that Executive is entitled to receive under Section 5.3.1,
          Executive shall be entitled to receive as a severance benefit (i) one
          times Executive's Base Salary, payment of which shall be accelerated
          and paid in one lump sum within 30 days of termination, and (ii)
          accelerated vesting of any options or restricted stock granted to
          Executive.

          This Further Amendment shall become non-operative if, at any time
          prior to July 15, 2003, there is a change in control of the Company.
          `Change in Control' shall mean either (i) a merger or consolidation of
          the Company, or a sale by the Company's shareholders, as a result of
          which securities possessing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total
          combined voting power of the Company's outstanding securities are no
          longer held by the persons holding those securities immediately prior
          to such transaction and/or by affiliates of such persons, or (ii) the
          sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
          Company's assets in complete liquidation or dissolution of the
          Company.

          2.   Except as provided in this Further Amendment, the Employment
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and
shall apply to this Further Amendment, including without limitation the
provisions of Section 7.1 of the Employment Agreement entitled "Arbitration".

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Further
Amendment as of the first date set forth above.
