Royalty

3.1.

For the Licenses granted herein, Buyer shall pay to Nautilus a running royalty according to the following schedule. Royalty calculations are made on a calendar year basis. Royalty payments shall be quarterly. Each quarterly payment shall be the higher of the Minimum Royalty specified for the period or the running royalty calculated as a percent of Net Sales for the quarter. Buyer shall submit a report with each royalty payment as specified below.

3.2.

The Minimum Royalty and Minimum Invoice Price shall change annually based on the annual U.S. CPI-U index. The Minimum Royalty and Minimum Invoice Price shall change in direct proportion to the percent change in the CPI index between the current year and the previous year, provided however that the amount of any change in the Minimum Royalty and the Minimum Invoice Price shall not exceed 4.0% per annum. The following example illustrates the computation of percent change:


CPI for current year		136.0
Less CPI for previous year		129.9
Equals index point change		6.1
Divided by previous year CPI		129.9
Equals		0.047
Result multiplied by 100		0.047 x 100
Equals percent change		4.7

Thus, for example, if the previous year Minimum Royalty was $300K per year and the CPI-U is as shown above, then the Minimum Royalty for the current year shall increase by 4.0% (because the actual change in the CPI is greater than the maximum percent change of 4%) or $12,000 to $312K per year (payable as $78,000 per quarter). For the avoidance of doubt, the Minimum Royalty is paid only when the actual percent royalty on Net Sales for a quarter is less than the Minimum Royalty for the same quarter.

The Minimum Royalty stated throughout this Agreement is for calendar year 2010. All Minimum Royalty amounts shall be adjusted under this section even those that begin later such as those specific in the Renewal and Transition Terms, below.
