5.     The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Company will not consummate any Business Combination which involves a company which is affiliated with any of the Insiders unless the Company obtains an opinion from an independent investment banking firm reasonably acceptable to Broadband that the business combination is fair to the Company’s stockholders from a financial perspective.

6.     Neither the undersigned, nor any member of the family of the undersigned, will be entitled to receive, and will not accept, any compensation for services rendered to the Company prior to the consummation of the Business Combination; provided that the undersigned shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Company for his out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with seeking and consummating a Business Combination, including first class air travel.

7.     Neither the undersigned, nor any member of the family of the undersigned, will be entitled to receive, or accept, a finder’s fee or any other compensation in the event the undersigned, any member of the family of the undersigned or any Affiliate of the undersigned originates a Business Combination.

8.     The undersigned will escrow his Insider Shares for the three-year period commencing on the Effective Date, subject to the terms of a Stock Escrow Agreement which the Company will enter into with the undersigned and an escrow agent acceptable to the Company.
