  • 4.5 Following receipt of a Director Nomination Notice or a Director Removal Notice and as soon as reasonably practicable following completion by the Nominated Adviser of any assessment required in accordance with clause 4.2, the Company shall procure (in so far as it is reasonably able to do so) such appointment or removal of the Nominated Director in accordance with and subject to the Articles and Applicable Laws.

  • 4.6 The Company shall not be required to pay any director fees to any Nominated Director who is a member of the Shareholder Group, but shall, if so requested, pay director fees to any other Nominated Director in an amount commensurate with those for non-executive Independent Directors.
