100% of Initial Investment will be paid back in full before any excess profit sharing will happen (In short: You will get your initial investment back, before the business as a whole collects any kind of profit).
There is an Investor 25% profit sharing clause for 5 years after the initial investment is paid.
After 5 years of profit sharing the agreement between Investor(s) and LIONELL INC. will end and there will be no more profit sharing and LIONELL INC. will retain and maintain 100% of all venture PROFITS, OWNERSHIP AND RIGHTS dealing with any venture!
All business ventures has the option of a total commitment (Meaning: Investing in the project as a whole and retain all the 25% profit sharing) or the option of a partial commitment (Meaning: Many investors to get the venture started and the 25% profit sharing will be divided according to the investors' investment).
KEEP IN MIND: This is not a long term relationship - If you think it is a good venture, invest. You'll get your initial investment back first and then 5 years of profit sharing of 25% and only 5 years!
