In the event that the Commencement Date occurs on a day other than the first day of a month, the initial monthly payment made by Programmer shall be an amount equal to the Monthly Fee as determined above multiplied by a ratio, the numerator of which is the number of days between the Commencement Date and the end of the month in which the Commencement Date occurs and the denominator of which is the number of days in the month in which the Commencement Date occurs; and in the event that the last day of the Term occurs other than on the last day of a month, the Monthly Fee for the month in which such day occurs shall be similarly prorated.
