What is a Revenue Sharing Agreement?

A revenue sharing agreement is a legal document between two parties where one party has to pay a percentage of profits or revenues received to the other for the rights to use something. This contract allows a company to share in the profits from a product or service that is directly linked to the company's core business.

For example, a music producer may sign an agreement with a record company where the producer will pay 25% of all revenue received from CD sales to the record company, who has rights to the sound recordings. In this case, revenue sharing is used as a means for the record company to recoup costs on developing and promoting the artist.

Once the 50,000 stored specimen level is reached for each state, Purchaser shall not be entitled to any further Revenue Sharing over and above the aforementioned ongoing 50,000 paid for specimens. However, if one or more of the Revenue Sharing Specimens is removed from storage, Purchaser will be entitled to a Revenue Share with respect to the next Primary Stored Specimens received by the Company from a resident of either Illinois or New York respectively, until the number of Revenue Share Specimens is again equal to 50,000 for each state respectively. Purchaser shall not be entitled to any Revenue Share with respect to Secondary Specimens.

(c) Company shall pay Purchaser the Revenue Share within thirty days after the end of each calendar month with respect to revenues received by Company in such month that are subject to the Revenue Share.
