that my conduct is detrimental to the best interests of the group, my conduct violates any rule of the Program, or for any other reason in
UE’s discretion, except for those occurrences due to UE’s negligence or intentional acts.

INFORMED CONSENT: I have been informed of and I understand the various aspects of the Program. I understand that as a
participant in the Program, I will be engaged in activities that may include, but not limited to, practicing, training, observing, traveling to

there may be other risks not known to me or not reasonably foreseeable at this time. I further understand and agree that any injury,
illness, property damage, disability, or death that I may sustain by any means is my sole responsibility, except for those occurrences
