donate, appoint or otherwise dispose of such Offered Shares in whatever manner the Offeror wishes, without any further compliance by the Offeror or any transferee with the provisions of this Agreement (which provisions will continue to apply, however, to any other Shares owned of record or beneficially by the Offeror); provided that (A) if the Offeror had included in the First Notice such Offeror’s intention to sell, transfer, distribute, assign, donate, appoint or otherwise dispose of the Offered Shares to a specific person, then such Offered Shares shall be sold, transferred, distributed, assigned, donated, appointed or otherwise disposed of to such person on the terms and in the manner indicated in the First Notice; AND (B) THE OFFEROR, PRIOR TO ANY SALE, TRANSFER, DISTRIBUTION, ASSIGNMENT, DONATION, APPOINTMENT OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE OFFERED SHARES  SHALL FIRST CONVERT SUCH OFFERED SHARES INTO CLASS A STOCK AND SELL, TRANSFER, DISTRIBUTE, ASSIGN, DONATE, APPOINT OR OTHERWISE DISPOSE OF ONLY THE CLASS A STOCK.
