階層をまたぐライセンシーは、下位階層の料率に対し増分調整を加えた料金を支払うことができます。

調整額は、下位階層（下側）のユーザー/加入者/収益率(%)に、その階層のしきい値を超えたユーザー数/加入者数/収益額を乗じて計算されます。

For example, if a Licensee has 1.01 billion Monthly Active Video Users, it would be subject to Tier 3 and owe $16 million semi-annually. However, this Licensee can opt to pay the lower Tier 2 semi-annual royalty of $12 million, plus the number of users over 1 billion times the Tier 2 rate (10 million x 0.025 = $0.25 million).  Instead of $16M, the Licensee would instead owe $12.25M.
