Leisure shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate one individual to be appointed or nominated, as the case may be, as a Class B director of the Dory Parent Board or, if the Dory Parent Board does not contain classes, as a director of the Dory Parent Board.
(c) If a vacancy on the Dory Parent Board occurs because of the death, disability, disqualification, resignation, or removal of any Xxxxxxx Director or any Xxxxxxx Director ceases to be on the Dory Parent Board for any other reason, Xxxxxxx Leisure shall, so long as Xxxxxxx Leisure is entitled to designate an individual to such director position for appointment or nomination, as applicable, pursuant to Section 1(b), be entitled to designate an individual to fill such director position by giving written notice to Dory Parent, and Dory Parent shall, within ten (10) days of such designation, take all necessary and desirable actions in order for such director position to be filled with such individual designated in writing pursuant to this Section 1(c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement or the Governing Documents of Dory Parent, subject to Section 1(d), neither the Dory Parent Board nor any other Person (other than Xxxxxxx Leisure pursuant to this Section 1(c)) may appoint, elect or designate any Person to fill any such director position described in the preceding sentence.
(d) If an individual designated by Xxxxxxx Leisure is not appointed, nominated or elected pursuant to Sections 1(a), 1(b) or 1(c) or this Section 1(d) because of such individual’s death, disability, disqualification or withdrawal as a designee or nominee or for any other reason, then Xxxxxxx Leisure shall be entitled to designate a replacement to fill such director position by giving written notice to Dory Parent, and Dory Parent will, within ten (10) days of such designation, take all necessary and desirable actions in order for such director position to be filled with such person designated in writing pursuant to this Section 1(d). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement or the Governing Documents of Dory Parent, neither the Dory Parent Board nor any other Person (other than Xxxxxxx Leisure pursuant to this Section 1(d)) may appoint, elect or designate any Person to fill any such director position described in the preceding sentence.
(e) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the request of any Xxxxxxx Director, Dory Parent shall enter into an indemnification agreement with the Xxxxxxx Director, in the form entered into with the other members of the Dory Parent Board or, if not entered into by other members of the Dory Parent Board, a customary form. Dory Parent shall pay the reasonable, documented and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Xxxxxxx Director related to his or her service to Dory Parent, including attending meetings of the Dory Parent Board or any committee or sub-committee thereof (including, to the extent applicable, the Nominating Committee) or events attended on behalf of Dory Parent or any of its Subsidiaries at Dory Parent’s request.
(f) At any time the Xxxxxxx Director serves as a director of Dory Parent (provided that the Xxxxxxx Holders, in the aggregate, beneficially own 5.00% or more of the issued and outstanding Dory Parent Common Shares as of such time), Xxxxxxx Leisure shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate such Xxxxxxx
2
Director to be appointed or nominated, as the case may be, to serve on the Compensation Committee, and Dory Parent will take all necessary and desirable actions so that such Xxxxxxx Director shall serve as a member of the Compensation Committee.
(g) For so long as the Xxxxxxx Director serves as a director of Dory Parent, Dory Parent shall not amend, alter or repeal any right to indemnification or exculpation covering or benefiting any director designated pursuant to this Agreement as and to the extent consistent with applicable law, including but not limited to under the Governing Documents of Dory Parent (whether such right is contained in the Governing Documents of Dory Parent or another document) (except to the extent such amendment or alteration permits Dory Parent to provide broader indemnification or exculpation rights on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto)
(h) Subject to compliance with the listing standards of Nasdaq, the Xxxxxxx Director may, but does not need to, qualify as “independent” pursuant to the listing standards of Nasdaq; provided, however, that if such Xxxxxxx Director is appointed or nominated, as the case may be, to serve on the Compensation Committee, such Xxxxxxx Director shall qualify as “independent” pursuant to the listing standards of Nasdaq.
Section 2. Reserved.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Xxxxxxx Leisure and its Permitted Transferees shall not make one or more transfers to one or more Permitted Transferees and then dispose of all or any portion of their interests in any such Permitted Transferee for the purpose or with the effect of circumventing the terms of this Agreement (in which case, such Permitted Transferee shall cease to constitute a Permitted Transferee).
“Xxxxxxx Director” means, collectively, the Initial Xxxxxxx Designee and any other individual elected or appointed to the Board that has been designated by Xxxxxxx Leisure pursuant to this Agreement.
“Xxxxxxx Holders” means, collectively, (a) Xxxxxxx Leisure and (b) any Permitted Transferee of Dory Parent Common Shares.
Section 5. Essential Consideration. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, including under Sections 1 through 3, are given in consideration for the rights and obligations undertaken under the Business Combination Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, constitute essential and integral consideration to the parties hereto for their execution or authorization of, as applicable, the Business Combination Agreement and the Ancillary Documents.
Section 6. Assignment; Benefit of Parties; Transfer. No party hereto may assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder and any assignment hereof will be null and void, except that Xxxxxxx Leisure and any of its permitted successors or assigns may assign, in whole or in part, this Agreement or its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Permitted Transferee; provided, that any such assignee executes a joinder agreement (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dory Parent) pursuant to which such assignee agrees to be bound by the terms hereof, provided, further, that only the holders of a majority of the Dory Parent Common Shares held by all such transferees, as determined in good faith by the Dory Parent, shall be entitled to take any action under this Agreement that the Xxxxxxx Holders are entitled to take. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, legal representatives and assignees for the uses and purposes set forth and
4
referred to herein and, for the avoidance of doubt, any references to Xxxxxxx Leisure shall, as the context requires, refer to any permitted assignees of Xxxxxxx Leisure’s rights and/or obligations hereunder.
Section 7. Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party hereto, and the exercise by a party hereto of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages and this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.
