(a) | if Mr. Donovan reports to an officer or employee of the Company or any of its affiliates other than the Chief Executive Officer of AT&T Inc.; or |
(b) | if the Company creates a higher-level position (e.g., Vice Chairman or Chief Operating Officer of AT&T Inc.) and Mr. Donovan is not placed in that role or an equivalent role; and |
