Discussion: Paysite managers on a percentage scheme?

I am looking for someone to run my paysite for me. I already have someone in mind ( so please no applications ) But because I have never done this before, how much should they receive based on a number of factors.

The situation is that the paysite manager will be pretty much running %90 of things, including affiliate support. I will be giving my feedback and making the required changes I see fit (about %10 of work). I have decided to go with percentages because per hour may seem quite difficult especially with affiliate support, as there is little idea on how much time will be needed.

Please bare in mind that at the moment pay is being paid by the hour, not a percentage, only if revenues increase will I go down this route.

I have a few questions, some may seem open ended, but any ideas you throw could help me.

1) What's a good figure(% wise) between the 2 of us?
2) If taking a percentage, do they now pay their split of the paysite costs? (content, programming etc)
3) Would my direct traffic need an affiliate link when sending traffic to the paysite in a percentage based scheme?
4) If they refer affiliates do they take the 5/10% webmaster referal fee or does that go in the total revenues for both of us?

Again my questions may seem stupid, but I have no idea what I am doing in this area but would love to know, I may have more questions over the course of this thread.
