2. Mr. McMahon has sole voting and investment power and authority with respect to 14,144,068 shares of Class B common stock held by the 2004 Trust until its termination on June 30, 2007, or his earlier death. During the initial three-year term, an annual annuity amount is payable to Mr. McMahon in trust shares of Class B common stock or other property.

On the termination of the 2004 Trust, after annuity distributions to Mr. McMahon, any remaining trust shares of Class B common stock or other property will pass to successor trusts for other members of his family. Mr. McMahon will not act as trustee of such successor trusts and will have no voting or investment power with respect to their assets.
