The written agreement upon which plaintiff seeks a success fee and certain real estate broker’s commissions is unenforceable as vague, since the agreement fails to set the price or compensation to be received by plaintiff. Nor does it provide for a means to calculate same (see Matter of 166 Mamaroneck Ave. Corp. v. 151 E. Post Rd. Corp., 78 NY2d 88, 91-92 [1991]). As such, the IAS court should have granted defendants summary judgment on the two breach of contract claims.
