[labnetwork] soft cap number for research groups

[Iulian Codreanu]

Hi Fubo,

We have two monthly usage caps for our internal users:
-The cleanroom access cap is a hard one; once the cap is reached, there 
is no additional charge
-For the tools, we combine them into a single tool and apply a soft cap; 
once the cap is reached we only charge 20% of the hourly fees.

Caps do not apply for using the e-beam writer, consumables, and service 
work.

I hope this helps,

Iulian
