	3.1.1	perform such other duties as may from time to time be necessary to implement the decisions of the Board;
	3.1.2	in all respects comply with the reasonable and lawful directions given by or under the authority of the Board which do not otherwise derogate from the terms of this Agreement, including complying with the Company’s corporate governance policies adopted from time to time by the Board;

4.2	The Executive's salary will accrue from day to day and shall be payable by equal monthly instalments in accordance with Company policy in effect from time to time.
