provided, however, no royalties shall be paid upon copies given to the Author, travelers' samples, damaged copies, returned copies, copies given away for publicizing the Work or to promote sales, or copies sold at or below manufacturing cost; and provided further that when copies of the regular trade edition are sold at a discount of forty-eight per cent (48%) or more from the list retail price, the prevailing rate of royalty as stated above, less one-half (1/2) the difference between forty-four per cent (44%) discount and the discount granted shall be paid, but the royalty on such sales shall in no event be less than one-half (1/2) the regular rate of royalty. 

When copies are sold through mail order, and not through the regular trade channels, the royalty shall be five per cent (5%) of the amounts received.

For determining the prevailing percentage in the graduated scale of royalty stated above, all copies subject to royalty under this clause (4(a)) shall be combined.

The Publisher may at its discretion give permission to reproduce the Work in Braille, without charge.

(b) One-half (1/2) of the first stipulated United States royalty percentage specified in the foregoing clause 4(a) upon all copies sold in or for U.S. territories or possessions, the Philippine Islands or for export to Canada.

(c) Ten per cent (10%) of the net amounts received in United States currency by the Publisher on copies sold elsewhere outside the continental limits of the United States. In the case of copies sold by the Publisher's foreign branch offices, the net amount received shall be calculated as the list price of the regular trade edition less the discount rate established for entry of copies of the Work in the country in which the branch office is located.

(d) Ten per cent (10%) of the actual net amounts received from the sale of any copies sold at remainder prices, which remainder prices are hereby defined as prices exceeding cost but not exceeding one-third (1/3) of the list retail price at the time of remaindering.

(e) Ten per cent (10%) of the net amounts received by the Publisher from the sale of school editions; or from the sale of any edition at a discount exceeding forty per cent (40%) from the list retail price through School Book Depositories, or to Reading Circles, or Educational Associations, or for use as premiums; or if such sales are made in Canada or for export to Canada, five per cent (5%) of any net sums received.

(f) Fifty per cent (50%) of the net amounts received by the Publisher (including plate rentals) from any sale of any right to any Book Club or similar organization to print and sell the Work in volume form, and on the sale of Second Serial, Microfilm, Selection, and Digest rights.

(g) Ten per cent (10%) of the list retail price of all copies sold within the continental limits of the United States of any cheaper edition which the Publisher may publish under its own imprint, and fifty per cent (50%) of any net amount received by the Publisher if the Publisher leases the plates or sells cheap edition rights to a reprint publisher. Copies of the regular edition remaining unsold in the hands of booksellers on the publication of any of such cheap editions shall be subject to the cheap edition royalty, provided the Publisher is required to grant rebates or credits to such booksellers sufficient to enable them to retail such unsold copies at the cheap edition price.

(h) Seventy-five per cent (75%) of the net amounts received in United States currency by the Publisher (after deduction, from such net amounts, of agent's commission, if any, on the sale) from the sale of independent foreign editions and translations and other publication rights, excel First Serial rights. On editions sold in sheets to foreign countries a royalty of ten per cent (10%) of the net amounts received in United States currency.
