I can assure you that, if you fail to adhere to any part of the listing contract, they will enforce it against you.

You're still taking income away from the agent that is actually doing all the work. I would not accept a lower commission and if you chose to not accept the offer with full commission I would walk away from you and take my client to another home, there are plenty of them for sale.
