to breaches of this Agreement by the Licencee.

any sub-licence by the Licencee, the Licencee shall provide CRT with a copy of such sub-licence at the Licencee’s expense, which
copy may be redacted of information that is reasonably not related to the Licencee’s obligations hereunder; and




 


	 	2.4.5	no sub-licence shall be granted
to a Tobacco Party; and




 


	 	2.4.6	the sub-licence shall be entered
into on an arms-length basis reflecting the market value of the rights granted.

		9.	INDEMNITY



 


		9.1	The
                                            Licencee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Indemnified Parties from and against any
                                            and all third party claims, demands, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable
                                            legal fees) arising from or in connection with the exercise by the Licencee or a Sub-Licencee
                                            of the rights granted in Clause 2.1 or the actions of the Licencee, a Sub-Licencee or
                                            an Affiliate of either of them in relation to a Licenced Product, except to the extent any
                                            such claims, demands, losses, damages and expenses arise from the negligent or wilful actions
                                            or inactions of misconduct by any Indemnified Party.



 


		9.2	Promptly
                                            after receipt by CRT of any claim or alleged claim or notice of the commencement of any action,
                                            administrative or legal proceeding, or investigation to which the indemnity provided for
                                            in this Clause 9 may apply, CRT shall give written notice to the Licencee of such fact
                                            and the Licencee shall have the option to assume the defence thereof by election in writing
                                            within thirty (30) days of receipt of CRT’s notice. If the Licencee fails to make
                                            such election, the Indemnified Party may assume such defence and the Licencee will be liable
                                            for the reasonable legal and other expenses consequently incurred in connection with such
                                            defence. The Parties will co-operate in good faith in the conduct of any defence, will provide
                                            such reasonable assistance as may be required to enable any claim to be defended properly
                                            and the Party with conduct of the action shall promptly provide to the other Party copies
                                            of all correspondence and documents and notice in writing of the substance of all oral communications
                                            relating to such action.



 


		9.3	Should
                                            the Licencee assume conduct of the defence:

		9.3.1	the
                                            Indemnified Party may retain separate legal advisers, at its sole cost and expense save that
                                            if the Licencee denies the applicability of the indemnity or reserves its position in relation
                                            to the same, the indemnity in this Clause 9 shall extend to the Indemnified Party’s
                                            costs and expenses so incurred; and



 


		9.3.2	the
                                            Licencee will not, except with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent

                                            or enter into any settlement provided always, that if the Indemnified Party shall not consent
                                            to such entry of judgment or settlement, the amount which the Indemnified Party shall be
                                            entitled to recover from the Licencee pursuant to this Clause 9 shall be limited to

                                            and any other Indemnified Party shall not admit liability in respect of, or compromise or
                                            settle any such action without the prior written consent of the Licencee, such consent not
                                            to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and



 


		9.3.4	Licencee
                                            shall not be responsible for or bound by any settlement made by CRT in breach of Clause 9.3.3,
                                            provided, that,



 


		9.3.5	Notwithstanding
                                            the foregoing, the Licencee may, without the consent of the Indemnified Party, settle a third
                                            party claim solely to the extent such settlement is strictly monetary in nature, places no
                                            further obligations or penalties on the Indemnified Parties and the Licencee includes a release
                                            in the settlement agreement to absolve the Indemnified Parties from any and all liabilities
                                            arising out of the settled claims.

                                            and the amount thereof and the noting of CRT’s interest. Such insurance shall be maintained
                                            for not less than three (3) years following the expiration or termination of this Agreement

                                            if it were the act or omission of the Licencee would be a breach of any of the provisions
                                            of this Agreement, will be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by the Licencee who will
                                            be liable to CRT accordingly.

                                            affects the commercial basis of this Agreement, the Parties shall discuss, in good faith,
