I can't even look at that sentence anymore - it's a case of needless complication.

House Rule Proposed by Author: Attack, if successful roll CP. Allocate as you like between "more grabbing" and "less grabbing for the other guy." Anything more complicated is harder to remember than it needs to be, and is double taxation. You've already overcome the foe's grapple and associated DX penalties.
I guess that if you keep any CP on your target you can't then reduce their CP on you to less than zero (i.e the grapple would have to be maintained)?
