Legal Question in Business Law in Nevada

How to read my contract?

I am an investing partner in a small business. My contract states ''Investor to recieve 15% of all net profits (''proceeds'') from any and all sales of product. It also states ''Company grants to investor 15% of all proceeds from the sale of any and all products. My question is...Does the sales commissions and overhead come out of my percentage? Or, do I take my 15% of the top profits before overhead is paid out?

Net profits means after expenses, costs and taxes.

Gross profits means off the top. It is a good idea to define these in the contract.
