I disagree, it does make it worse because
     1. the licensee obligates himself for an unlimited indemnification
        and 
     2. the licensee acknowledges the licensor to automatically become
        owner of his domains even for no reason.

Without the TLA these questions would have to be cleared when they
arise, but by signing the TLA you in advance resign the right to go to
court.
