And even if Shari stands by as part of her father's empire is sold, the day will come when the trust will control whatever remains of Viacom. If Shari has four votes, it appears she will have the power to fire Dauman and any other board member she chooses. Company rules state board members can be removed "at any time … with or without cause." USC law professor Michael Chasalow even sees the possibility of Shari attempting to dismiss Dauman for cause, if she can make the case he misled the Viacom board and investors about Sumner's condition and the various instructions attributed to him. But according to a securities filing, Dauman's contract allows him to quit for "good reason" if Viacom were to "change the parties to whom he reports." He would receive an exit package worth as much as $75 million if that happens, a scenario that seems to provide abundant fodder for legal jockeying.
