The Buyer also will pay the Seller an additional $50,000 if net revenues exceeds $2,000,000 over the next 18 months.
The summary of the Agreement is as follows (the entire Asset Purchase Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission):
