2. Determination

A. According to the above facts of recognition, the defendant is obligated to pay 35,608,320 won of the sales commission and delay damages to the plaintiff, except in extenuating circumstances.

However, it applies to the instant brokerage commission agreement between the Plaintiff and the Defendant.
