No Group Company nor Founder has received any communications alleging that it has violated or, by conducting its business as proposed, would violate any Proprietary Assets of any other person or entity, nor, to the knowledge of the Company, the Subsidiaries and the Founders, is there any reasonable basis therefor. None of the Founders nor, to the knowledge of the Company, each Founder and each Subsidiary, any of the current or former officers, employees or consultants of any Group Company (at the time of their employment or engagement by a Group Company) has been or is obligated under any contract (including licenses, covenants or commitments of any nature) or other agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that would interfere with the use of his, her or its best efforts to promote the interests of such Group Company or that would conflict with the business of such Group Company as proposed to be conducted or that would prevent such officers, employees or consultants from assigning to such Group Company inventions conceived or reduced to practice in connection with services rendered to such Group Company. Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement, the Shareholders Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement, nor the carrying on of the business of any Group Company by its employees, nor the conduct of the business of any Group Company as proposed, will, to the knowledge of the Company, each Subsidiary and each Founder, conflict with or result in, in any material respect, 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, including without limitation any non-compete, invention assignment or confidentiality obligations under any agreement between any Founder and any former employer of such Founder. Each Group Company and Founder believes that it will not be necessary to utilize any inventions of any of the Group Companies’ employees (or people the Group Companies currently intend to hire) made prior to or outside the scope of their employment by the relevant Group Company. No government funding, facilities of any educational institution or research center or funding from third parties has been used in the development of any Proprietary Assets of any Group Company.
