Removal of Committee Members Article 401 The committee members of Each Committee may be removed at any time by a resolution at the board of directors meeting.
Where there is a vacancy which results in a shortfall in the number of committee members of Each Committee provided for in paragraph (1) of the preceding Article (or, if the number of committee members provided for in the articles of incorporation is four or more, that number), a committee member who retired from office due to expiration of the committee member's term of office or resignation continues to have the rights and obligations of a committee member until a newly appointed committee member (including a person who is to temporarily perform the duties of a committee member under the following paragraph) assumes office.
In the case provided for in the preceding paragraph, if the court finds it necessary, it may, in response to a petition by interested persons, appoint a person who is to temporarily perform the duties of a committee member.
In cases where the court has appointed the person who is to temporarily perform the duties of a committee member under the preceding paragraph, the court may prescribe the amount of the remuneration that the Company with a Nominating Committee, etc. pays to that person.
