Must I pay a commission split for this type of Deal?

[Dany Namou]

Hi friends,

Here is my question. a friend of mine has a fairly large real estate development deal he wants to market privately to large investors. 

He has asked me to reach out to my SOI for a potential investor. IF I find him an investor, he has said (and written in contracts) I would be entitled to a fairly significant finders/consulting fee.  Also note this development is outside the state where I hold my license. 

Now as a licensed realtor, do I owe my broker any part of this consulting/finders fee?

I would think not, but I am not certain.
