non-MOU agency C receives 10% based upon their contribution, then the MOU Participants'
pre -arranged percentages shall be based upon 90% of the full amount available for sharing).
4. Participants further understand that additional adjustments may be necessary so to ensure that
DEA (DOJ) receives a minimum of 20%.

request retain discretion to modify percentages as deemed appropriate based on the facts and
