Net Sales ”: Cash or cash equivalents received
by Buyer or its Affiliates for the grant of any and all
Stand-Alone-Product Licenses or a Derived-Product Licenses, where
such grant is made during the Contingent Payment Term. Amounts to

Visuale Assets have been developed entirely as the original work,
discoveries, and creations of Softworks, Seller, and their
respective Participating Developers. All of Softworks’
contributions to the Visuale Assets were made as “works made
for hire” for Seller or Visual Enterprise, LLC,
Seller’s predecessor in interest, or by assignments of all
Softworks’ right, title and interest in and to the Visuale
Assets or any portion thereof, duly and without condition or right
of termination or reversion. Pennystream and all Participating
Developers have duly and without condition or right of termination
or reversion transferred, sold and assigned all of its or their
right, title and interest in and to the Visuale Assets to Seller.
The Visuale Assets do not contain or incorporate any intellectual
property owned by any Stockholder or Softworks, nor owned by any
third party (whether or not licensed to Seller), and none of the
same is or will be required for the development, use, sale or other
exploitation of the Visuale Assets, except, for avoidance of doubt,
third party operating systems (e.g. Microsoft.net), database
software (e.g. Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle 9i), email servers
(e.g. Microsoft Exchange Server), report writer applications (e.g.
Crystal Decisions), activeX controls (e.g. Microsoft Common
Controls and Infragistics TreeViewX ActiveX 8.0) and zLib
libraries, all of which are required for use of the Visuale Assets
and which Buyer must procure itself (to the extent not included in
the Softworks Assets).
