2. Determination

A. According to the above facts finding as to the cause of the claim, C shall be deemed to have explicitly ratified the agreement of this case after C assumed office as the representative director, barring any special circumstance, the Defendant shall be liable to pay to the Plaintiff 41,801,100 won [152,004,000 won for non-standing advisers (12,667,000 won x 12 months x 12 months)] and damages for delay.
