When I shoot portraits (etc.) for friends, I (an amateur photog)
usually retain the negatives, and I deliver prints.

Next month I'll be shooting an event for a company, which wants
to "buy out" the negatives from the hour-long shoot.  At risk of
starting a "how much should I charge" thread (we've been through
that one), can any LUGgers with experience in this area give me an 
idea as to how this sort of "buy out" might affect the cost of the job?
I'm not necessarily asking for specific prices (it will vary with region
and probably a million other variables).

The shoot will be an hour long, on location, documentary/journalistic
style, on color negative film.  The company will be using these photos 
internally (displays, etc.) and probably in trade journals and maybe a
local newspaper.
