Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement nor the Note nor the carrying on of the Company’s business by the employees of the Company, nor the conduct of the Company’s business as proposed, 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. The Company does not believe it is or will be necessary to utilize any inventions of any of its employees (or people it currently intends to hire) made prior to their employment by the Company. Set forth in the Schedule of Exceptions is a list of all patents, trademarks and licenses of the Company.
