Powers of Board The directors may, at any time, with respect to a committee appointed under Articles 19.1 or 19.2: (1) revoke or alter the authority given to the committee, or override a decision made by the committee, except as to acts done before such revocation, alteration or overriding; (2) terminate the appointment of, or change the membership of, the committee; and (3) fill vacancies in the committee.
Appointment of Directors The Company hereby covenants and agrees to take such action, promptly following the Closing Date, as is necessary to (i) increase the number of positions on the Board of Directors to seven and (ii) cause an individual designated by Caduceus (any such individual a “Purchaser Designee”) to be appointed to the Board of Directors until the next annual general meeting of the Company. The initial Purchaser Designee shall be ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, M.D. The Company further covenants and agrees to take such action as is necessary to present another Purchaser Designee, being ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, for election to the Board of Directors of the Company at the Shareholders’ Meeting, and to recommend in the management information circular to be distributed in connection with the Shareholders’ Meeting that shareholders vote in favor of ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇’▇ election. The Company further covenants and agrees that, provided the OrbiMed Purchasers and their Affiliates hold not less than 5,800,000 Shares, it shall include the two Purchaser Designees on management’s slate of nominees for election to the Board of Directors of the Company at the next ensuing, and each subsequent, annual general meeting of the Company; provided, however, that any vacancies created by the death, resignation or removal of either or both of the Purchaser Designees shall be promptly filled by the Board of Directors upon receipt of instructions from Caduceus (the “Replacement Designees” and together with the Purchaser Designees, the “OrbiMed Designees”). Such Replacement Designees shall serve until the Company’s next ensuing annual general meeting and, at such meeting and each subsequent, annual general meeting of the Company, shall be included on management’s slate of nominees for election to the Board of Directors. The parties agree that the Company’s obligations in connection with this Section 4.12 are subject to each OrbiMed Designee meeting the qualification requirements of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), and of the Toronto Stock Exchange and delivering to the Company all documents required pursuant thereto, including a personal information form.
