and  this occurs after the expiration of  each Renewal Term unless a party gives
notice of non-renewal to the other party not less than three months prior to the
expiration  of the Initial Term or any  Renewal Term. The Licence Agreement will

    Nikkolo" trademark based on the audited annual reports of Baltika but capped
    at EUR 300,000 per year. Baltika undertakes to pay the annual royalty for
    the preceding calendar year within 30 days as of the receipt of the
    auditor's approval to the annual report with respect to the preceding
    calendar year by Baltika. The first annual royalty payment is due in mid-
