Late Payments. LICENSEE hereby acknowledges that late payment by the LICENSEE to the LICENSOR of the Annual License Fee and other sums due hereunder will cause the LICENSOR to incur costs not contemplated by this Agreement, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain.

The Parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs the LICENSOR will incur by reason of late payment by LICENSEE.

Except in the case where a late fee is paid by LICENSEE, any amount not paid to the LICENSOR within fifteen (15) days after the date on which such amount is due shall bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum from its due date.
