If a posted price referenced above becomes no longer available, Lessee shall, acting reasonably, select an alternative posted price that closely approximates such original posted price. Lessee shall have the right to market and sell to third parties refined gold and silver in any manner it chooses, including the sale of such refined gold and silver on the commodity market.

6.1.5 Should a compulsory license be granted by LICENSEE or an AFFILIATE to a third party under the applicable laws, rules, regulations, guidelines, or other directives of any governmental or supranational agency in the LICENSED TERRITORY under the LICENSED PATENTS, LICENSEE shall notify YALE, including any material information concerning such compulsory license, and the running royalty rates payable under Article 6.1 for sales of LICENSED PRODUCTS in such country will be adjusted to equal any lower royalty rate granted to such third party for such country with respect to the sales of LICENSED PRODUCTS therein.

(ii) LICENSEE shall promptly reimburse YALE for all legal fees and expenses incurred in YALE’s defense against the PATENT CHALLENGE.

If overdue, the royalties and any other payments due under this Agreement shall bear interest until payment at a per annum rate [***] percent ([***]%) above the prime rate in effect at Citibank on the due date. The payment of such interest shall not foreclose YALE from exercising any other right it may have as a consequence of the failure of LICENSEE to make any payment when due.
Additional Rent (a) The Rentable Area in the Building is stipulated to be 285,773 square feet. Tenant shall, from time to time during the term of the Lease, pay as additional rent hereunder, an amount, per each square foot of Rentable Area within the Premises, equal to the excess ("Excess") in actual Basic Costs, over the actual 1993 Basic Costs per square foot of Rentable Area in the Building. Commencing on the fourth (4th) anniversary of the date of this Lease, Tenant shall begin paying the Excess in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph.
(b) Landlord shall also have the right to make a good faith estimate of the Excess for each upcoming calendar year and upon thirty (30) days' notice to Tenant to require the monthly payment by Tenant of one-twelfth (1-12th) of such estimated Excess, but in no event shall any such estimate be based on Basic Costs which exceed the actual Basic Costs for the previous calendar year.
(c) By April 1 of each calendar year following the year during which the Lease Term begins, or as soon thereafter as practical, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement of Landlord's actual Basic Costs for the previous calendar year, and Landlord shall notify Tenant of the amount of the Excess owing by Tenant to Landlord, showing the calculations thereof which result from such statement. Tenant agrees to promptly pay Landlord, as additional rent, all Excess which has not been previously paid as estimated Excess. If for any calendar year additional rent collected for the prior year, as a result of Landlord's estimate of Excess, is greater than the additional rent actually due during such prior year, then Landlord shall refund to Tenant any such overpayment.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Lease to the contrary, for purposes of calculating the Excess under this Lease, in no event shall Controllable Basic Costs be increased in any calendar year after 1993 by more than five percent (5%) of the Controllable Basic Costs for the previous calendar year. For purposes hereof, "Controllable Basic Costs" shall mean all Basic Costs other than those enumerated in subsections (iii), (v), (vi) and (viii) of paragraph 2(j) of this Lease.
