The Master Agreement addressed both the software applications company's ASP and turnkey lines of business and secured approximately 35% of the client's annual revenue stream. The public company required that the agreement be on "their paper". Worked with client to incorporate client's necessary business and legal items and improved and rewrote the software applications company's standard form agreement in the software applications company's format.
