Clause B about shareholder voting rights sounds pretty standard, but Clause C is just asking for trouble. The company will be stuck with Tom whether he's good or not.

Clause B is definitely important for shareholder participation.

Haha, can you imagine Tom as the company's MD for life? I bet he's already planning his retirement villa on a private island.

Clause A about paying dividends in cash is reasonable, but Clause C is just absurd. The company can't be bound to a managing director for life!

I think Clause D could also be unenforceable. Forcing shareholders to sell their shares to the company at a price determined by the auditors seems too restrictive.
