To indicate your acceptance of this offer, please sign and date the attached Acceptance and Acknowledgement and return it to me. This letter, along with the Carbonite Confidentiality, Invention Assignment and Non-Competition Agreement, set forth the terms of your employment with Carbonite and supersede any prior representations or agreements, whether written or oral. This letter may not be modified or amended except by a written agreement, signed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of Carbonite and by you.

We are pleased to welcome you to the Carbonite team and look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship.

Sincerely,
