Insider Shares owned by Roynat Capital in favor of the Company's decision to
liquidate. The undersigned hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or
claim of any kind in or to any distribution of cash, property or other assets
("Fund") as a result of such liquidation with respect to his Insider Shares

         3. Roynat Capital will not submit to the Company for consideration,


or vote for the approval of, 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 EBC
that the business combination is fair to the Company's stockholders from a
financial perspective.

         4. Neither Roynat Capital, the undersigned, any member of the family of
the undersigned, nor any Affiliate 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
Roynat Capital and the undersigned shall be entitled to reimbursement from the
Company for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with seeking and
consummating a Business Combination.

         5. Neither Roynat Capital, the undersigned, any member of the family of
the undersigned, or any Affiliate of the undersigned will be entitled to receive
or accept a finder's fee or any other compensation in the event Roynat Capital,
the undersigned, any member of the family of the undersigned or any Affiliate of
the undersigned originates a Business Combination.

         6. Roynat Capital will escrow its 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.
