Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement or the Related Agreements, nor the carrying on of the Business, will, to the Company’s knowledge, conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract, covenant or instrument under which any of such employees is now obligated. Furthermore, the Company does not believe that it will be necessary for the Company to utilize any inventions of any of its employees (or persons it currently intends to hire) made prior to their employment by the Company except in cases where obtaining a license to do such is expected to be routine and license fees are not material to the Business.
