If at any time during the term of this Agreement the Licensee requires the Licensor to obtain additional trade mark registrations in the Territory for marks which include the word Foxtel, in respect of any goods/services/and classes to enhance or protect the Business in the Territory it will notify the Licensor in writing.

The Licensee shall pay all costs, on a solicitor and own client basis, associated with any proceedings brought for infringement by the Licensee under Clause 7.2 and shall indemnify the Licensor for all of its costs, on the same basis, as may be incurred by or ordered against the Licensor in those proceedings (except where Clause 7.2(d) applies).

The Licensee acknowledges that the Licensor and its Affiliates use the "searchlight" and "searchlight with pedestal" devices (the Devices) on a global basis and that it is important for the Licensor to protect the integrity of the Devices. If the Licensee wishes:
(a)to alter the appearance of the Devices in its use of the Licensed Marks in any material respect; and/or
(b)to require the Licensor to file additional trade mark applications incorporating material variations of the Devices
it must first consult with the Licensor and obtain its written consent to those changes. The Licensor will act reasonably and in good faith in deciding whether to give or withhold its consent, having regard to the commercial interests of the Licensee and the need to protect the integrity of the Devices.
9Dealing with the licensed marks and appointment of Licensor's representative
9.1Importance of Sub-licensing Rights
The Licensor acknowledges that the Licensee has entered into and/or intends to enter into arrangements with a number of third parties in relation to supply of the Foxtel subscription television channels and other content services (Content Transactions), for which it requires the right to sub-license the Licensed Marks. The Licensor also acknowledges that the Licensee may
BSWS 508022819v4 205960593 13.10.2021
page 7



also enter into Content Transactions or similar arrangements in the future, and the ability to sub-license the Licensed Marks is an important factor in the Licensee’s ability to enter into such transactions.
9.2Sublicence and Merchandising
The Licensee may sub-license its rights in the Licensed Marks to:
(a)any person in relation to any of the Licensed Marks for the purpose of merchandising; or
(b)any other member of the Foxtel Group; or
(c)any other entity which distributes the same (or some of the same) channels and/or services as the Licensee,
provided that:
(i)any such sub-licence is terminable immediately upon termination of the licence granted under Clause 2 of this Agreement; and
(ii)the sub-licensee is bound by quality control provisions which are no less onerous than those which appear in this Agreement (or which are otherwise agreed by the Licensor).
9.3Channel suppliers
The Licensee may sub-license any supplier of a channel or of programming forming part of a channel and/or service provided or managed by the Licensee with the right to use the Licensed Marks in that channel or programming and provided that the sub-licensee is bound by quality control provisions which are no less onerous than those which appear in this Agreement (or which are otherwise agreed by the Licensor).
9.4Licensor to be kept informed
(a)Licensor to be kept informed
The Licensee shall keep the Licensor informed of any agreed quality control standards, send representative copies to the Licensor of any use of the Licensed Marks and in all circumstances inform the Licensor of sub-licensing arrangements under Clause 9.2 or Clause 9.3.
(b)Sub-licence terms
The Licensee shall ensure that the terms of any sub-licence are on terms which are consistent with and no less onerous than the terms of this Agreement (other than the right to commence infringement proceedings in the name of the Licensor which must not be included in any sub-licence).
9.5Existing sub-licensees
The parties agree that, as between them, a sub-licence is deemed to have been granted, with effect from the Commencement Date, by the Licensee to each other member of the Foxtel Group and any other sub-licensee under the 2013 Licence Agreement, in each case on the same terms as such party was licensed or sub-licensed immediately prior to the Commencement Date, but only to the extent the Licensee has the right to grant such sub-licence under this Agreement.
9.6Assignment
Subject to the prior written consent of the Licensor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) the Licensee may assign this Agreement (and the benefit of the right to use each of the Licensed Marks) to a bona fide purchaser for value of the Business. The parties acknowledge
BSWS 508022819v4 205960593 13.10.2021
page 8



that it may be reasonable for the Licensor to withhold its consent in relation to the assignment of the search light device (with or without the search light pedestal) comprised in the Licensed Marks.
9.7No assignment by Licensor
The Licensor will not assign any of the Licensed Marks without the written permission of the Licensee.
9.8Security
The Licensor undertakes that it will not encumber any of the Licensed Marks as security.
9.9Parties’ obligations regarding withholdings or other similar taxes
(a)If any amounts in respect of withholding or other similar taxes are required to be paid under this Agreement under applicable laws, the Licensee must remit any amounts so withheld promptly to the relevant government authority and will deliver documentation, as agreed between the parties, evidencing such remittance of tax withheld. In determining the amount of payment subject to withholding and the rate of withholding, the Licensee shall give due regard to all applicable Australian and international law, including income tax treaties and protocols, and any documents provided by Licensor.
(b)The Licensee is solely responsible for complying with any withholding obligations imposed on it by applicable laws. The Licensor will not in any circumstances indemnify, refund, reimburse, or contribute to any withholding or other similar taxes, or any penalties or interest on those amounts, that Licensee may be required to pay in respect of amounts paid to the Licensor in connection with this Agreement.

Guidelines for use of Licensed Marks
The marks should always be highlighted in literature and advertising to draw attention to their special status as trade marks.
Use of the marks should be uniform and consistent.
Unless otherwise approved by the Licensor, the marks should only be used as adjectives and not as nouns, verbs or descriptions of the goods or services to which they relate.
The marks should never be pluralised.
Notations in accordance with Clause 6.2(b) should always be used.
The market place should be carefully and continuously monitored to identify any unauthorised use or mis-use of the marks.
