CONSENT OF SPOUSE
I, , the undersigned spouse of Executive, hereby acknowledge that I have read the foregoing Amended and Restated Management Equity Subscription Agreement, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Agreement”) and that I understand its contents. I am aware that the Agreement provides for the repurchase of my spouse’s RSU Shares (as defined in the Agreement) and Shares issuable or issued upon exercise of the Option (as defined in the Agreement) under certain circumstances and imposes other restrictions on the transfer of such Shares. I agree that my spouse’s interest in the Shares is subject to the Agreement and any interest I may have in such Shares shall also be irrevocably bound by the Agreement and, further, that my community property interest in such Shares, if any, shall be similarly bound by the Agreement.
I am aware that the legal, financial and other matters contained in the Agreement are complex and I am encouraged to seek advice with respect thereto from independent legal and/or financial counsel. I have either sought such advice or determined after carefully reviewing the Agreement that I hereby waive such right.
