2.             Conversion Rights.

(a)            Each share of Series B Common Stock will be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, into one fully paid and non-assessable share of Series A Common Stock.  Any such conversion may be effected by any holder of Series B Common Stock by surrendering such holder’s certificate or certificates, if any, for the Series B Common Stock to be converted, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Series B Common Stock, or by delivering to the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Series B Common Stock an appropriate instrument or instruction if the shares of Series B Common Stock to be converted are uncertificated, in either case, together with a written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert all or a specified number of shares of Series B Common Stock and stating the name or names in which such holder desires the shares of Series A Common Stock to be issued and, if the shares of Series B Common Stock are certificated and less than all of the shares represented by one certificate are to be converted, the name or names in which such holder desires the certificate representing such remaining shares of Series B Common Stock to be issued.  If so required by the Corporation, any shares surrendered for conversion in accordance with this Article IV, Section B.2(a) will be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the holder of such shares or the duly authorized representative of such holder, and will, if required by the last sentence of Article IV, Section B.2(b) of these Restated Articles, be accompanied by payment, or evidence of payment, of applicable issue or transfer taxes.  Promptly thereafter, the Corporation will issue and deliver to such holder or such holder’s nominee or nominees, the number of shares of Series A Common Stock to which such holder will be entitled as herein provided.  If applicable, if less than all of the shares of Series B Common Stock represented by any one certificate are to be converted, the Corporation will issue and deliver to such holder or such holder’s nominee or nominees a new certificate representing the shares of Series B Common Stock not converted.  Such conversion will be deemed to have been made at the close of business on the date of receipt by the Corporation or any such transfer agent of the certificate or certificates, as applicable, notice and, if required, instruments of transfer and payment or evidence of payment of taxes referred to above, and the person or persons entitled to receive the Series A Common Stock issuable on such conversion will be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Series A Common Stock on that date.  A number of shares of Series A Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Series B Common Stock outstanding from time to time will be set aside and reserved for issuance upon conversion of shares of Series B Common Stock.  Shares of Series A Common Stock and shares of Series C Common Stock are not convertible into shares of any other series of Common Stock.

(b)           a Share Distribution consisting of any class or series of securities of the Corporation or any other Person, other than Series A Common Stock, Series B Common Stock or Series C Common Stock (or Series A Convertible Securities, Series B Convertible Securities or Series C Convertible Securities), may be declared and paid on the basis of a distribution of (i) identical securities, on an equal per share basis, to holders of Series A Common Stock, Series B Common Stock and Series C Common Stock, (ii) separate classes or series of securities, on an equal per share basis, to the holders of each such series of Common Stock or (iii) a separate class or series of securities to the holders of one or more series of Common Stock and, on an equal per share basis, a different class or series of securities to the holders of all other series of Common Stock; provided, that, in connection with a Share Distribution pursuant to clause (ii) or clause (iii), an “equal per share basis” shall require that (1) such separate classes or series of securities (and, if the distribution consists of Convertible Securities, the Underlying Securities) do not differ in any respect other than their relative voting rights (and any related differences in designation, conversion and share distribution provisions, as applicable), with holders of shares of Series B Common Stock receiving the class or series of securities having (or convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for securities having) the highest relative voting rights and the holders of shares of each other series of Common Stock receiving securities of a class or series having (or convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for securities having) lesser relative voting rights, in each case, without regard to whether such rights differ to a greater or lesser extent than the corresponding differences in voting rights (and any related differences in designation, conversion and share distribution, as applicable) among the Series A Common Stock, the Series B Common Stock and the Series C Common Stock, and (2) in the event the securities to be received by the holders of shares of Common Stock other than the Series B Common Stock consist of different classes or series of securities, with each such class or series of securities (or the Underlying Securities into which such class or series is convertible or for which such class or series is exercisable or exchangeable) differing only with respect to the relative voting rights of such class or series (and any related differences in designation, conversion and share distribution provisions, as applicable), then such classes or series of securities will be distributed to the holders of each series of Common Stock (other than the Series B Common Stock) (A) as the Board of Directors determines or (B) such that the relative voting rights (and any related differences in designation, conversion and share distribution provisions, as applicable) of the class or series of securities (or the Underlying Securities) to be received by the holders of each series of Common Stock (other than the Series B Common Stock) corresponds to the extent practicable to the relative voting rights (and any related differences in designation, conversion and share distribution provisions, as applicable) of such series of Common Stock, as compared to the other series of Common Stock (other than the Series B Common Stock).

5.             Reclassification.

The Corporation will not reclassify, subdivide or combine any series of Common Stock then outstanding without reclassifying, subdividing or combining each other series of Common Stock then outstanding, on an equal per share basis.  Any such reclassification, subdivision or combination is subject to Article IX of these Restated Articles.

6.             Liquidation and Dissolution.

In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and liabilities of the Corporation and subject to the payment in full of the preferential or other amounts to which any series of Preferred Stock are entitled, the holders of shares of Series A Common Stock, the holders of shares of Series B Common Stock and the holders of shares of Series C Common Stock will share equally, on a share for share basis, in the assets of the Corporation remaining for distribution to the holders of Common Stock.  Neither the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other Person or Persons nor the sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation will itself be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation within the meaning of this Article IV, Section B.6.

ARTICLE XI 

RESTRICTIONS ON OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFER OF COMMON STOCK

1.             Purpose. 

For purposes of compliance with applicable policies of Major League Baseball (“MLB”) the provisions of this Article XI shall apply.

2.             Prohibited Transfers.

(a)           No Person shall acquire shares of Common Stock if (I) such Person is an employee of any MLB Entity (an “MLB Employee”), (II) after giving effect to a Transfer (as defined below) of shares to such Person, such Person would own a number of shares of Common Stock equal to or in excess of five percent (5%) of the Total Outstanding Shares (as defined below) of Common Stock and such Person is an owner, stockholder, officer, director or employee of any MLB Club (as defined below) (other than the Atlanta Braves) (an “MLB Holder”, which term will not include any Person that is an Exempt MLB Holder (as defined below)) unless such Person is an Exempt MLB Holder, (III) after giving effect to a Transfer of shares to such Person, such Person would own a number of shares of Common Stock equal to or in excess of ten percent (10%) of the Total Outstanding Shares of Common Stock (such Person, a “10% Holder”, which term will not include any Person that is an Approved Holder or an Exempt Holder (each as defined below)) unless (x) such Person has, prior to becoming the owner of 10% or more of the Total Outstanding Shares of Common Stock, applied for and received written approval (such approval, “MLB 10% Approval”) from the Office of the Commissioner of Baseball (the “BOC”) (with copies of such approval to be delivered by such Person to the Corporation promptly following such Person’s receipt thereof) to become the owner of 10% or more of the Total Outstanding Shares of Common Stock (such Person, an “Approved Holder”) or (y) such Person is an Exempt Holder or (IV) after giving effect to a Transfer of shares to such Person, such Person would (A) own a number of shares of Common Stock equal to or in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Total Outstanding Shares of Common Stock or (B) have the ability to exercise control over the business affairs of the Corporation (any such Person referred to in clauses (A) or (B) above, a “Controlling Stockholder”, which term will not include any Person that is an Approved Controlling Stockholder (as defined below) or an Exempt Holder other than a Person who is an Exempt Holder solely pursuant to clause (6) of the definition thereof) unless (x) such Person has, prior to becoming a Controlling Stockholder, applied for and received the applicable approval of MLB (“MLB Control Approval”) (with copies of such approval to be delivered by such Person to the Corporation promptly following such Person’s receipt of such MLB Control Approval) to become a Controlling Stockholder (such Person, an “Approved Controlling Stockholder”) or (y) such Person is an Exempt Holder other than a Person who is an Exempt Holder solely pursuant to clause (6) of the definition thereof (any such acquisition of shares of Common Stock described above, a “Prohibited Transfer”).  Any MLB Employee, MLB Holder, 10% Holder or Controlling Stockholder is hereinafter referred to as a “Prohibited Holder.”  Notwithstanding anything contained in these Restated Articles, no Person shall become a Prohibited Holder, including, without limitation, an MLB Employee, MLB Holder, 10% Holder or Controlling Stockholder, for any purpose under this Article XI, unless and until the Corporation has Actual Knowledge (as defined below) that such Person is a Prohibited Holder.

(b)            If there is a purported Transfer of shares of Common Stock that, after giving effect to such purported Transfer, would result in such Person otherwise becoming a Prohibited Holder, then (1) the Purported Record Transferee (as defined below) (and the Purported Beneficial Transferee (as defined below), if different) shall acquire no right or interest in such shares of Common Stock so Transferred as would cause such Person to become a Prohibited Holder (which for the avoidance of doubt, (w) in the case of an MLB Employee, will be any shares of Common Stock, (x) in the case of an MLB Holder, will be such shares as would result in such Person owning 5% or more of the Total Outstanding Shares of Common Stock, (y) in the case of a 10% Holder, will be such shares as would result in such Person owning 10% or more of the Total Outstanding Shares of Common Stock, and (z) in the case of a Controlling Stockholder, will be such shares as would result in such Person (i) owning 50% or more of the Total Outstanding Shares of Common Stock or (ii) having the ability to exercise control over the business affairs of the Corporation (such shares, rounded up to the nearest whole share, the “Excess Shares”)), (2) the Excess Shares of Common Stock shall be automatically transferred to a Trust (as defined below), without any action on the part of the Corporation or any holder of shares of Common Stock, in accordance with Article XI, Section 6 below, for the exclusive benefit of the Excess Share Transferor (as defined below), and (3) such Purported Record Transferee (and such Purported Beneficial Transferee, if different) shall submit the certificates, if any, formerly representing such Excess Shares of Common Stock to the Trustee (as defined below) (or, if such Purported Record Transferee alleges that such certificate or certificates, if any, have been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation and Trustee to indemnify the Corporation and Trustee against any claim that may be made against the Corporation or Trustee on account of the alleged loss, theft, or destruction of such certificates and, if required by the Corporation’s transfer agent, a bond in form satisfactory to the Corporation’s transfer agent as indemnity against any such claim), or the Excess Share Transferor will deliver an irrevocable instrument or instruction to transfer the Excess Shares to an account for the benefit of the Trustee and the Trust (such account, the “Trust Account”), in each case accompanied by all requisite and duly executed assignments of transfer thereof dated as of the effective date of such purported Transfer as specified below, to effect the transfer of the Excess Shares to the Trustee of the Trust, together with such additional information and instructions as requested by the Corporation’s notice specified in Article XI, Section 2(c) below.  Such transfer to the Trust shall be effective as of the close of trading on the Trading Day prior to the date of the purported Transfer even though the certificates, if any, formerly representing the Excess Shares of Common Stock so transferred or other instructions or confirmations, and the other information and instructions required by the Corporation, may be submitted to the Trustee at a later date (if at all).  To the extent any shares purportedly Transferred to such Person at such time constitute Excess Shares, then to the extent practicable, except in the case of a Controlling Stockholder pursuant to clause (B) of the definition thereof, (x) the first shares that will constitute Excess Shares will be shares of Series C Common Stock purported to be so Transferred to such Person, (y) to the extent no shares of Series C Common Stock are purported to be so Transferred or the total number of shares that constitute Excess Shares exceeds the number of shares of Series C Common Stock purported to be so Transferred, then the next shares that will constitute Excess Shares will be shares of Series A Common Stock purported to be Transferred to such Person and (z) to the extent that the application of clauses (x) and (y) above does not yield the total number of shares that constitute Excess Shares, then any shares of Series B Common Stock purported to be so Transferred will, to the extent necessary, constitute Excess Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the purported Transfer is to a Person that would become a Controlling Stockholder pursuant to clause (B) of the definition thereof, (I) only shares of Series A Common Stock and Series B Common Stock will constitute Excess Shares, (II) to the extent that shares of Series B Common Stock are purported to be so Transferred, the first shares that will constitute Excess Shares will be shares of Series B Common Stock purported to be so Transferred to such Person and (III) to the extent that the conversion and/or sale of such shares of Series B Common Stock would be insufficient to reduce the voting power of the shares purported to be so Transferred to the level such that the Purported Record Transferee (and the Purported Beneficial Transferee, if different) would not become a Controlling Stockholder pursuant to clause (B) of the definition thereof, then the next shares that would constitute Excess Shares will, to the extent necessary, be shares of Series A Common Stock purported to be so Transferred to such Person.

(c)           Following the automatic transfer of Excess Shares to the Trust pursuant to Article XI, Section 2(b) above and Article XI, Section 6 below, the Corporation shall send the Purported Record Transferee (and the Purported Beneficial Transferee, if different) notice of such automatic transfer (the “Automatic Transfer Notice”).  Each such Automatic Transfer Notice shall include the following: (1) the date that the automatic transfer of such Excess Shares occurred, (2) the number of shares of each series of Common Stock constituting Excess Shares, (3) instructions for the Purported Record Transferee (or Purported Beneficial Transferee, if different) to surrender or provide to the Trustee, in the manner and at the place designated in the written notice, the certificate or certificates, if any, formerly representing such Excess Shares (or, if such Purported Record Transferee alleges that such certificate or certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation and Trustee to indemnify the Corporation and Trustee against any claim that may be made against the Corporation or Trustee on account of the alleged loss, theft, or destruction of such certificate or certificates and, if required by the Corporation’s transfer agent, a bond in form satisfactory to the Corporation’s transfer agent as indemnity against any such claim) or such other instruments of transfer as are reasonably necessary to effect the transfer of the Excess Shares to the Trust Account, (4) in the case of any purported Transfer that would result in a Person being a 10% Holder, if the Excess Shares constitute less than 1.0% of the Total Outstanding Shares of Common Stock that the Excess Share Transferor may represent, in writing (within three (3) days of the date of the Automatic Transfer Notice), to the Corporation and the Trustee that it will promptly seek and use reasonable efforts to obtain MLB 10% Approval, in which case the Corporation will instruct the Trustee to hold and not sell such Excess Shares for a period of 60 days from the date of the Automatic Transfer Notice in order to enable such Excess Share Transferor to obtain such MLB 10% Approval and, if such Excess Share Transferor has not delivered to the Trustee and the Corporation a copy of the MLB 10% Approval by such 60th day, to sell such Excess Shares promptly in accordance with Article XI, Section 10 below, (5) that in the event the Purported Record Transferee (and the Purported Beneficial Transferee, if different) intends to Transfer or otherwise dispose of shares of Common Stock or, with respect to any Person that would otherwise become a Controlling Stockholder pursuant to clause (B) of the definition thereof, convert shares of Series B Common Stock to Series A Common Stock, in each case which are owned by such Person and not Excess Shares, such that, after giving effect to the Prohibited Transfer and such Transfer or conversion, such Purported Record Transferee (and the Purported Beneficial Transferee, if different) would not be an MLB Holder, 10% Holder or Controlling Stockholder, such Purported Record Transferee (or Purported Beneficial Transferee, if applicable) must deliver notice to the Trustee and the Corporation of such Transfer or conversion prior to the fifth (5th) day following the date of the Automatic Transfer Notice, and (6) any request or requests for any other information that the Corporation deems necessary or advisable.  Failure to give the Automatic Transfer Notice as aforesaid, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of the automatic transfer of any Excess Shares and in no event shall the Corporation be required to send the aforesaid notice prior to the automatic transfer of any Excess Shares.  The Automatic Transfer Notice and any other notice required or permitted by this Section 2(c) of Article XI to be given to the Purported Record Transferee (and the Purported Beneficial Transferee, if different) shall be delivered by overnight courier to the address last shown on the records of the Corporation, or given by electronic communication in compliance with the NRS, and shall be deemed sent upon such delivery to such courier or electronic transmission.

(d)           Receipt of MLB 10% Approval or MLB Control Approval (as applicable, “MLB Approval”) will not be deemed to (i) constitute approval by the Corporation or its Board of such Approved Holder’s or Approved Controlling Stockholder’s ownership of Common Stock for any purpose, or (ii) prohibit any adoption, approval, amendment or modification by the Corporation of any stockholder rights plan (or similar plan or agreement) or charter or by-law provision having anti-takeover provisions of general applicability.

3.              Applicability.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Article XI, including, without limitation, Article XI, Section 2 above, shall apply to and be enforced against the record owner of any shares beneficially owned by any Person in the same manner and to the same extent as this Article XI shall apply to and be enforced against any such beneficial owner.

4.              Remedies for Breach. 

If the Corporation, or its designees, shall at any time have Actual Knowledge that (a) a Transfer has taken place (x) to an MLB Employee or (y) that would cause a Person to become a Controlling Stockholder, 10% Holder or an MLB Holder or (b) (x) an MLB Employee intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire ownership of shares of Common Stock or (y) a Person intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire ownership of shares of Common Stock which, if completed, would cause such Person to become a Controlling Stockholder, 10% Holder or an MLB Holder, the Corporation shall, and shall cause its designees to, take such action as it considers advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such Transfer or acquisition, including, but not limited to, refusing to give effect to such Transfer or acquisition on the stock transfer books of the Corporation or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer or acquisition, including stop transfer instructions to the Corporation’s transfer agent, but the failure to take any such action shall not affect the automatic transfer to a Trust in accordance with Article XI, Section 2 above and Article XI, Section 6 below.

5.             Notice of Restricted Transfer; Notice of Ownership. 

Any Person who acquires or attempts to acquire shares of Common Stock, which, if such acquisition were completed, would cause such Person to become a Prohibited Holder, or any Person who becomes an Excess Share Transferor, shall immediately give written notice to the Corporation of such event and shall provide to the Corporation such other information as the Corporation may request.  Any notice delivered to the Corporation under this Article XI shall be delivered to the attention of the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal offices of the Corporation.

6.             Transfer in Trust. 

Upon the Effective Time, the Corporation shall enter into a trust agreement in order to create a Trust, and will appoint the Trustee.  Upon any purported Transfer that results in the automatic transfer of Excess Shares to the Trust pursuant to Article XI, Section 2 above, such Excess Shares, which shall have been automatically transferred to such Trust pursuant to Article XI, Section 2 above, shall be held for the exclusive benefit of each Person whose Excess Shares have been Transferred to the Trust (such Person, the “Excess Share Transferor”), subject to the other provisions of this Article XI.  The Trustee will be the sole owner of such Excess Shares and the Excess Shares held in trust shall continue to be issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation.

7.             Dividend Rights.

(a)            The Trustee will be entitled to receive all dividends and distributions (including Corporation Share Distributions (as defined below)) on the Excess Shares, and shall hold all such dividends and distributions in trust for the benefit of the Excess Share Transferor; provided, that subject to the Excess Share Transferor’s satisfaction of the Excess Share Payment Condition (as defined below), all dividends or distributions paid or made on Excess Shares, other than any Corporation Share Distribution, will be paid or delivered to such Excess Share Transferor as promptly as practical.  The Excess Share Transferor shall not be entitled to receive any Corporation Share Distributions with respect to Excess Shares, and shall be required to return to the Trust any such Corporation Share Distributions received by it (1) that are attributable to any Excess Shares and (2) the record date of which was on or after the date that such Excess Shares were deemed automatically transferred to a Trust.  The Corporation shall take all measures that it determines are reasonably necessary to recover any such Corporation Share Distributions paid or delivered to such Excess Share Transferor in respect of Excess Shares, including, if necessary, withholding any portion of future Corporation Share Distributions payable on such Excess Shares; and, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Corporation’s receipt or withholding thereof, shall pay over to the Trust for the benefit of such Excess Share Transferor the Corporation Share Distributions so received or withheld, as the case may be.

(b)           The provisions of Article XI shall apply to any shares of Common Stock distributed in a Corporation Share Distribution in respect of Excess Shares. Any shares of Common Stock distributed in respect of such Excess Shares in a Corporation Share Distribution shall be treated as Excess Shares.

8.             Liquidation of the Corporation. 

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation or dissolution of, or winding up of, the Corporation, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive in respect of the Excess Shares held by it, ratably with each other holder of shares of Common Stock, that portion of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the holders of Common Stock.  Subject to the Excess Share Transferor’s satisfaction of the Excess Share Payment Condition, the Trust shall distribute to the Excess Share Transferor the amounts received with respect to the Excess Shares attributable to such Excess Share Transferor upon such liquidation, dissolution, or winding up.

9.             Voting Rights. 

The Trustee shall have all voting rights with respect to such Excess Shares.  The Excess Share Transferor shall have no voting rights with respect to any Excess Shares held in the Trust.

10.           Sale or Conversion of Excess Shares.

(a)           Subject to Article XI, Sections 10(c) and 10(d) below and Article XI, Section 2(c) above, as soon as practicable after the Trustee acquires Excess Shares (but not earlier than the fifth (5th) day following the date of the Automatic Transfer Notice), but in an orderly fashion so as not to materially adversely affect the trading price of the applicable series of Common Stock, the Trustee shall sell for cash, on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, any Excess Shares held by the Trustee; provided that (I) a purchaser of such Excess Shares will be deemed a “Permitted Transferee” of the Excess Shares so purchased so long as (x) in the case of a sale on the open market, such sale is effected in such a manner as will reasonably ensure a wide distribution of the Excess Shares and (y) in the case of a privately negotiated transaction or otherwise, the Trustee does not have actual knowledge, or have a reasonable basis to believe, that such third party purchaser (1) is an affiliate of the Corporation or the Excess Share Transferor, (2) is an MLB Employee, (3) would following such sale become an MLB Holder, (4) would following such sale become a 10% Holder or (5) would following such sale become a Controlling Stockholder, and (II) with respect to any Transfer of Excess Shares to the Trustee by an Excess Share Transferor who otherwise would have become a Controlling Stockholder pursuant to clause (B) of the definition thereof, such Excess Shares that are shares of Series B Common Stock will first be converted to shares of Series A Common Stock to the extent necessary to avoid such Excess Share Transferor becoming a Controlling Stockholder pursuant to clause (B) of the definition thereof and, if such conversion does not result in such Excess Share Transferor not becoming a Controlling Stockholder pursuant to clause (B) of the definition thereof, then thereafter the Trustee will sell such Excess Shares in accordance with this Section 10(a). The Trustee shall have the right to effect such conversions of Excess Shares that are shares of Series B Common Stock into shares of Series A Common Stock in accordance with this Section 10(a).

(b)           If the Transfer of Excess Shares to a purported Permitted Transferee would cause such Permitted Transferee to become a Prohibited Holder, such Permitted Transferee shall acquire no rights, except as otherwise provided in these Restated Articles, in respect of (w) in the case of an MLB Employee, any shares of Common Stock, (x) in the case of an MLB Holder, those shares of Common Stock which would result in the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Permitted Transferee equaling 5% or more of the Total Outstanding Shares of Common Stock, (y) in the case of a 10% Holder, those shares of Common Stock which would result in the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Permitted Transferee equaling 10% or more of the Total Outstanding Shares of Common Stock and (z) in the case of a Controlling Stockholder, those shares of Common Stock which would result in (i) the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Permitted Transferee equaling 50% or more of the Total Outstanding Shares of Common Stock or (ii) such Permitted Transferee having the ability to exercise control over the business affairs of the Corporation.  Such shares of Common Stock will be deemed Excess Shares and, in accordance with Article XI, Sections 2(b) and 6 above, will be automatically transferred to the Trust.  Such transfer to the Trust will be effective as of the close of trading on the Trading Day prior to the date of the Transfer to the purported Permitted Transferee and the provisions of this Article XI shall apply to such shares.

(c)            In the case of any purported Transfer that would result in a Person being a 10% Holder, in the event the Excess Shares represent less than 1.0% of the Total Outstanding Shares of Common Stock and the Excess Share Transferor represents in its notice to the Corporation delivered pursuant to Article XI, Section 2(c) within three (3) days of the date of the Automatic Transfer Notice that it will promptly seek and use reasonable efforts to obtain MLB 10% Approval and become an Approved Holder, the Trustee will not sell or begin the sale process referred to in Article XI, Section 10(a) above prior to the 60th day following the date of the Automatic Transfer Notice to the Excess Share Transferor.  If the Trustee has not received notice by such 60th day that the Excess Share Transferor has received MLB 10% Approval, the Trustee will proceed promptly to sell the Excess Shares pursuant to Article XI, Section 10(a) above.  In the event the Excess Share Transferor delivers notice to the Trustee and the Corporation that the Excess Share Transferor has received MLB 10% Approval it will cease its efforts to sell such shares and promptly transfer any remaining Excess Shares to the Excess Share Transferor.
