I just made a couple changes and saved it as unbindAD107.sh.

I added a processname variable, and I used the long options as per 10.7/10.8 man page (-username instead of -u).

Changes are in bold, I edited out the top half of the script for brevity (since it's all comments):

if [ "$4" != "" ] && [ "$username" == "" ]; then
    username=$4
fi

# CHECK TO SEE IF A VALUE WAS PASSED IN PARAMETER 5 AND, IF SO, ASSIGN TO "password"
if [ "$5" != "" ] && [ "$password" == "" ]; then
    password=$5
fi

    echo "Error:  No username is specified.  Please specify a network username."

if [ "$password" == "" ]; then
    echo "Error:  No password is specified.  Please specify a network password."
