* The per-copy rate for each composition is $0.083 where the running time of the recording is five minutes or less. For each
additional minute, or partial minute of running time, add $0.0166 to the rate.
** If you are pressing or duplicating 500 copies or less, put “$41.50” in this box for each composition of 5 minutes or less of
running time. Increase this amount by $8.30 for each minute or partial minute of running time in excess of 5 minutes. This is our
minimum quantity for royalty rate processing. Although no pressing order is necessary for less than 200 copies, it does not
exempt you from paying mechanical royalties.

Songs published by Abkco Music Inc receive a royalty rate of 0.13/copy
"White Christmas" (Irving Berlin) receives a royalty rate of 0.0952/copy
