Lessor may buy out the Lessee’s Production Royalty at a rate of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per Royalty percentage, with the Lessee retaining One Percent (1%).

The average price for a calendar quarter shall be determined by dividing the sum of all daily prices posted during the calendar quarter by the number of days that prices were posted. The posted price shall be obtained from the Wall Street Journal, Reuters, E&MJ or other industry-accepted source. 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. In this regard, Lessor shall have no right to participate in any gains and/or profits or obligation to suffer any losses accruing to Lessee as a result of forward sales, options trading, commodities futures trading or similar transactions.

(ii) a royalty of [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] /*/ percent ([CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] /*/%) of Net Sales made by Company and its Affiliates (but not sublicensees) for all Licensed Products that qualify as “Licensed Products” hereunder based on clause (b) of that definition and Sold while covered in the country of Sale of expected use by a Valid Claim of the Penn Existing Patents or Penn New Patents; provided that, notwithstanding any credits provided for in Section 3.7 but subject in all events to Section 3.8, royalties payable by Company for such Net Sales for such Licensed Products shall not be less than [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] /*/ percent ([CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED] /*/%).

Running Royalties Company shall pay to JHU a running royalty as set forth in Exhibit A, for each LICENSED PRODUCT(S) sold, and for each LICENSED SERVICE(S) provided, by Company or AFFILIATED COMPANIES, based on NET SALES and NET SERVICE REVENUES for the term of this Agreement.

No multiple royalties shall be due or payable because any LICENSED PRODUCT(S) or LICENSED SERVICE(S) is covered by more than one claim of the PATENT RIGHTS or by claims of both the PATENT RIGHTS under this Agreement and “PATENT RIGHTS” under any other license agreement between Company and JHU. The royalty shall not be cumulative based on the number of patents or claims covering a product or service, but rather shall be capped at the rate set forth in Exhibit A.

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.
