sounds like what realtors call "earnest money".

Guys, the language in the 8K regarding solicitation of other offers is a standard "no shop" provision. No company would do a deal without it, however, as a public company, management has a fiduciary responsibility to stockholders to consider other offers if they were to arise on an unsolicited basis. The break-up fee is there to compensate the other party for costs incurred by the failed transaction(e.g. legal, investment bank advisory fees, etc. )if either party strikes a "better" deal with another buyer/seller. Presumably HLIT could kill the deal and acquire another company similar to DiviComm. If they did within 12 months, they'd owe CUBE the $50 MM.
