export, resell or otherwise dispose of the defense articles enumerated
in the application (1) outside the foreign country named as the country
of ultimate destination; or (2) to any other person. With respect to
agreements that involve classified articles or classified technical
data, an authorized representative of the foreign government must also
sign the form.
