                                   Acknowledgment of Confidentiality


         I hereby acknowledge that I have received and read a copy of the foregoing Protective Order in
the above-captioned proceeding, and I understand it. I agree that I am bound by the Protective Order and
that I shall not disclose or use Confidential Information except as allowed by the Protective Order. I
acknowledge that a violation of the Protective Order is a violation of an order of the Federal
Communications Commission.

        Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent that I have any employment, affiliation or role with
any person or entity other than a conventional private law firm (such as, but not limited to, a lobbying or
public interest organization), I acknowledge specifically that my access to any information obtained as a
result of the order is due solely to my capacity as Counsel or consultant to a party or other person
described in paragraph 5 of the foregoing Protective Order and that I will not use such information in any
other capacity nor will I disclose such information except as specifically provided in the Protective Order.

         I hereby certify that I am not involved in “competitive decision-making’’ as that term is used in
the definition of In-House Counsel in paragraph 2 of the Protective Order.

        I acknowledge that it is my obligation to ensure that: (1) Confidential Information is used only as
provided in the Protective Order; and (2) the documents are not duplicated except as specifically
permitted by the terms of paragraph 10 of the Protective Order, and I certify that I have verified that there
are in place procedures, at my firm or office, to prevent unauthorized disclosure of Confidential
Information.

         Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them
in the Protective Order.
