CMH further agrees that in the event it is due a fee from Network-1 pursuant to paragraph 3 of the CMH January 1997 Letter Agreement, as amended above, CMH agrees to share a portion of its fee with Applewood as follows: 1/3 of the CMH fee or 1% of the Transaction Value shall be paid to Applewood if Network-1 enters into a definitive agreement with respect to a Transaction within one year from the date hereof and 1/2 of the CMH fee or 1.5% of the Transaction Value if Network-1 enters into a definitive agreement with respect to a Transaction after one (1) year from the date hereof.
