跨层级的被许可方可以选择支付较低层级的费率加上增量调整。

调整的计算方式为：将较低层级（以下）的每位用户/订阅者/收入百分比乘以超出层级阈值的用户/订阅者/收入数量

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.
