*Based on an assumed conversion of all of the shares of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock to which this Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D relates into Class A Common Stock (see “Introductory Note” and Item 5 below for more information).

This Amendment No. 2 amends and restates the Reporting Persons’ Schedule 13D and is filed to report the Reporting Person’s entry into a prepaid variable forward sale contract with an unaffiliated party (the “Prepaid Forward Contract”).

Introductory Note

This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D relates to (i) 28,682,948 shares of Class B Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (“Class B Common Stock”), of World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company” or the “Issuer”) and (ii) 14,620 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (“Class A Common Stock”), beneficially owned by Vincent K. McMahon (“Mr. McMahon” or the “Reporting Person”).  Mr. McMahon beneficially owns approximately 92.2% of the issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock and approximately 80.3% of the Company’s total voting power.  Class B Common Stock is fully convertible into the Company’s Class A Common Stock, on a one-for-one basis, at any time at the option of the holder. The number of shares reported herein as beneficially owned by Mr. McMahon excludes 566,670 shares of Class B Common Stock and 100 shares of Class A Common Stock owned by Linda E. McMahon and Mr. McMahon disclaims beneficial ownership of those shares.  It also excludes 67,141 performance stock units that have met their performance targets but remain subject to service-based vesting and over which Mr. McMahon does not have voting or dispositive power or the ability to acquire such power within the next 60 days.

Item 1.  Security and Issuer.

This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D is filed with respect to the Class A Common Stock but relates to the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.  The Issuer’s principal executive offices are located at 1241 E. Main Street, Stamford, Connecticut 06902.

Item 2.  Identity and Background.

(a)    This statement is being filed by Vincent K. McMahon (the “Reporting Person”).

(b)    The business address of the Reporting Person is:

c/o World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc.
1241 East Main Street
Stamford, Connecticut 06902

(c)    The present principal occupation of the Reporting Person is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

(d)    During the past five years, the Reporting Person has not been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).


(e)          During the past five years, the Reporting Person has not been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding, was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
(f)          Citizenship.  Mr. McMahon is a citizen of the United States of America.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

In connection with the Company’s initial public offering in 1999, Mr. McMahon acquired his shares of Class B Common Stock through a reclassification and conversion of shares previously owned by Mr. McMahon and no monetary consideration was paid for the shares of Class B Common Stock. The shares of Class A Common Stock owned by Mr. McMahon were acquired pursuant to equity awards granted to Mr. McMahon in his capacity as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

On March 24, 2020, the Reporting Person entered into the Prepaid Forward Contract with an unaffiliated bank (the “Bank”).   The Prepaid Forward Contract obligates the Reporting Person to deliver to the Bank, on specified dates in March 2024 (each, a “Settlement Date”), at such Reporting Person’s option, up to an aggregate number of shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Class B Common Stock pledged by the Reporting Person or, subject to certain conditions, an equivalent amount of cash. For more information on the terms of the Prepaid Forward Contract, please see Item 6 below.

The Reporting Person may purchase additional shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock or similar securities from time to time, either in brokerage transactions in the over-the-counter market or in privately-negotiated transactions. Any decision by the Reporting Person to increase his holdings of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock will depend on various factors, including, but not limited to, the price of the shares of Class A Common Stock, the terms and conditions of the transaction and prevailing market conditions.  In addition, in his role as an executive of the Company, the Reporting Person may acquire additional shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s equity compensation plans and programs.

The Reporting Person also may, at any time, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, dispose of some or all of his Class A Common Stock and/or Class B Common Stock or enter into additional variable forward sale contracts or other monetization transactions, depending on various factors, including, but not limited to, the price of the shares of the Class A

Common Stock, the terms and conditions of the transaction and prevailing market conditions, as well as liquidity, family planning and diversification objectives.  In addition, the Reporting Person may from time to time pledge all or part of his Class A Common Stock and/or Class B Common Stock to one or more banking institutions or brokerage firms as collateral for loans made by such entities to the Reporting Person or his affiliates or controlled entities.

The Reporting Person intends to participate in and influence the affairs of the Issuer through the exercise of his voting rights with respect to his shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.  The Reporting Person currently controls approximately 80.3% of the Company’s total voting power.  In addition, the Reporting Person is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer and, as a result, in the ordinary course or otherwise, takes actions to influence the management, business and affairs of the Issuer.

The Reporting Person does not have any current plan or proposal other than as described herein or has been publicly disclosed by the Issuer that relates to or would result in any of the transactions or other matters specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Person may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider his position and/or change his purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reporting Person, in his position as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer, intends to approve such matters and take such actions as he deems to be in the best interests of the Issuer, which matters and actions could potentially involve items described in Items 4(a) through 4(j) of Schedule 13D.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) According to information provided by the Issuer in its Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 6, 2020, as of February 20, 2020 there were 46,211,631 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding, and 31,099,011 shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding. Mr. McMahon may be deemed the beneficial owner for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act of (i) 28,682,948 shares of Class B Common Stock, which may be converted at any time on a one-for-one basis into 28,682,948 shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) 14,620 shares of Class A Common Stock.  The 28,682,948 shares of Class B Common Stock represent approximately 92.2% of the total Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date hereof. On an as-converted basis, the 28,697,568 shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock represent approximately 38.3% of the total Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date hereof (assuming conversion of all of the shares of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock to which this Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D relates into Class A Common Stock). Generally, each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes per share.  Accordingly, the 28,682,948 shares of Class B Common Stock and 14,620 shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. McMahon generally represent approximately 80.3% of the Issuer’s total voting power.


The number of shares reported herein as beneficially owned by Mr. McMahon excludes 566,670 shares of Class B Common Stock and 100 shares of Class A Common Stock owned by Linda E. McMahon and Mr. McMahon disclaims beneficial ownership of those shares.  It also excludes 67,141 performance stock units that have met their performance targets but remain subject to service-based vesting and over which Mr. McMahon does not have voting or dispositive power or the ability to acquire such power within the next 60 days.

(b) The Reporting Person’s responses to cover page Items 7 through 10 of this Amendment No. 2 to the Reporting Person’s Schedule 13D are hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 5.

(c) On February 6, 2020, the Reporting Person had 12,456 of his performance stock units meet their performance requirements.

On March 24, 2020, the Reporting Person entered into the Prepaid Forward Contract.  For more information on the terms of the Prepaid Forward Contract, please see Item 6 below.

(d) No other person is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of, dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of the Issuer’s common stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person; except that, pursuant to the terms of the Prepaid Forward Contract, the Bank has certain rights to receive payments in respect of extraordinary dividends that may be paid by the Issuer with respect to the 3,484,006 shares of Class B Common Stock pledged under such contract.

     (e) Not applicable.

Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

The Prepaid Forward Contract obligates the Reporting Person to deliver to the Bank up to an aggregate number of shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Class B Common Stock pledged by the Reporting Person or, subject to certain conditions and at such Reporting Person’s option, an equivalent amount of cash.  The Reporting Person pledged an aggregate of 3,484,006 shares of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock (the “Pledged Shares”) to secure his obligations under the Prepaid Forward Contract, although any shares of the Issuer’s common stock delivered to the Bank to settle the Prepaid Forward Contract would be shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock.  The Reporting Person retains ownership and voting and ordinary dividend rights in the Pledged Shares during the term of the pledge (and thereafter if the Reporting Person settles the Prepaid Forward Contract in cash). The Prepaid Forward Contract contains a 60-day lock-up restricting the Reporting Person’s ability to sell or transfer additional shares of the Issuer’s common stock during such period without the Bank’s prior approval. The number of shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock to be

delivered to the Bank on each Settlement Date (or on which to base the amount of cash to be delivered to the Bank on such Settlement Date) is to be determined as follows: (a) if the volume weighted average price of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock on the related valuation date (the “Settlement Price”) is less than or equal to $36.00 (the “Floor Price”), the Reporting Person will deliver to the Bank 232,267 shares (i.e., the ratable portion of the Pledged Shares to be delivered with respect to each Settlement Date) except for the last Settlement Date would be 232,268 shares; (b) if the Settlement Price is between the Floor Price and $64.80 (the “Cap Price”), the Reporting Person will deliver to the Bank a number of shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock equal to 232,267 shares (or 232,268 shares in the case of the last Settlement Date) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Floor Price and the denominator of which is the Settlement Price; and (c) if the Settlement Price is greater than the Cap Price, the Reporting Person will deliver to the Bank the number of shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (i) 232,267 shares (or 232,268 shares in the case of the last Settlement Date) and (ii) a fraction (a) the numerator of which is the sum of (x) the Floor Price and (y) the Settlement Price minus the Cap Price, and (b) the denominator of which is the Settlement Price.

In addition, 1,300,000 shares of the Reporting Person’s Class B Common Stock have been pledged to Morgan Stanley Private Bank, National Association to secure a line of credit.

Except as described herein or in the Issuer’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between the Reporting Person and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the shares (including as a result of any pledge), finders’ fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.

The following is filed herewith as an exhibit to this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D:

Valuation:

In respect of each Component:

Scheduled Valuation Date:
For each Component, as set forth in Annex A.


Valuation Date:
For each Component, the Scheduled Valuation Date for such Component as set forth in Annex A (or, if the date so set forth for such Component is not a Scheduled Trading Day, the next following Scheduled Trading Day that is not already a Scheduled Valuation Date for another Component); provided that if that date is a Disrupted Day, the Valuation Date for such Component shall be the first succeeding Scheduled Trading Day that is not a Disrupted Day and is not or is not deemed to be a Valuation Date in respect of any other Component of the Transaction hereunder; provided further that if such Valuation Date has not occurred pursuant to this clause as of the eighth Scheduled Trading Day following the last Scheduled Valuation Date under the Transaction, then the Calculation Agent shall have the right to declare such Scheduled Trading Day to be the Valuation Date for each such Component (irrespective of whether or not such date is a Valuation Date in respect of any other Component), in which case the VWAP Price for that eighth Scheduled Trading Day shall be the Calculation Agent’s good faith estimate of the fair market value of a Share as of the Valuation Time on that eighth Scheduled Trading Day or on any subsequent Scheduled Trading Day, as the Calculation Agent shall determine using good faith and commercially reasonable means.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, if a Market Disruption Event occurs on any Valuation Date, the Calculation Agent may, in its good faith and commercially reasonable judgment, determine that such Valuation Date is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case the Calculation Agent shall make adjustments to the Number of Shares for the relevant Component for which such day shall be the Valuation Date and shall designate the Scheduled Trading Day determined in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence as the Valuation Date for the remaining Number of Shares for such Component.  Section 6.6 of the Equity Definitions shall not apply.


Market Disruption Event:
Section 6.3(a) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (x) deleting the words “during the one hour period that ends at the relevant Valuation Time, Latest Exercise Time, Knock-in Valuation Time or Knock-out Valuation Time, as the case may be” in clause (ii) thereof and (y) replacing the words “or (iii) an Early Closure.” therein with “(iii) an Early Closure or (iv) a Regulatory Disruption.”
  
3




Section 6.3(d) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the remainder of the provision following the term “Scheduled Closing Time” in the fourth line thereof.


Regulatory Disruption:
Morgan Stanley reasonably concludes, using commercially reasonable discretion, that it is appropriate with respect to any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures of Morgan Stanley generally applicable in similar situations and applied in a non-discriminatory manner (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Morgan Stanley), including without limitation in the event of any third-party tender offer, for Morgan Stanley to refrain from engaging in market transactions relating to the Shares or to reduce the number or size of any such market transactions. Morgan Stanley shall notify Counterparty as soon as reasonably practicable that a Regulatory Disruption has occurred and the Valuation Date(s) affected by it. Morgan Stanley shall subsequently notify Counterparty in writing on the Scheduled Trading Day Morgan Stanley reasonably believes in good faith and upon the advice of counsel that it may resume its market activity.

Settlement Terms:
In respect of each Component:


Settlement Method Election:
Applicable; provided that a single Settlement Method shall apply for all Components; provided, further, that any election by Counterparty specifying Cash Settlement shall not be effective to require Cash Settlement unless Counterparty delivers to Morgan Stanley, concurrent with such election, a representation signed by Counterparty substantially in the following form as of the date Counterparty makes such election: “Counterparty is not aware of any material non-public information regarding Issuer, the Shares or the Class B Shares, and is electing Cash Settlement in good faith and not as a plan or scheme to evade compliance with the U.S. federal securities laws”; and provided, further, that notwithstanding any election by Counterparty or default election specified herein to the contrary, Cash Settlement will apply if Morgan Stanley reasonably concludes, in its commercially reasonable discretion, that Counterparty would be unable to make the representation and agreement in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions with respect to the Shares to be delivered by Counterparty pursuant to Physical Settlement for any reason, unless the parties previously agreed in writing to waive such representation and agreement. Unless Counterparty has properly elected Cash Settlement, Counterparty shall convert the Collateral Shares into Shares and cause such Shares to be delivered to the Collateral Account no later than the fifth Scheduled Trading Day following the Settlement Method Election Date.

4

 
Electing Party:
Counterparty


Settlement Method Election Date:
The 10th Scheduled Trading Day prior to the Scheduled Valuation Date for the Component with the earliest Scheduled Valuation Date hereunder.


Default Settlement Method:
Physical Settlement


Settlement Currency:
USD


Settlement Price:
The VWAP Price for the Valuation Date.


VWAP Price:
For any Exchange Business Day, the per-Share volume weighted average price based on transactions executed in the United States as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page “WWE US <equity> AQR” (or any successor thereto) in respect of the period from the scheduled open of trading of the regular trading session on the Exchange until the Scheduled Closing Time on such Exchange Business Day or, in the event such price is not so reported on such Exchange Business Day for any reason or is manifestly erroneous, as reasonably determined by the Calculation Agent, using standard industry volume-weighted methods, if available.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) any Valuation Date is a Disrupted Day only in part and (ii) the Calculation Agent determines in good faith that such Valuation Date shall be the Valuation Date for fewer than the full Number of Shares for the Component to which such Valuation Date corresponds, as described opposite “Valuation Date” above, then the VWAP Price for such Valuation Date shall be a volume-weighted average price per Share on such Valuation Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent based on such sources as it deems commercially appropriate, taking into account the nature and duration of the relevant Market Disruption Event.

Settlement and Valuation Terms if Physical Settlement is applicable:

In respect of each Component:


Physical Settlement:
If Physical Settlement is applicable, for each Component of the Transaction, on the relevant Settlement Date, Counterparty will deliver to Morgan Stanley a number of Shares equal to the Number of Shares to be Delivered for such Component and will pay to Morgan Stanley the Fractional Share Amount, if any.


Settlement Date:
For each Component of the Transaction, the date that falls one Settlement Cycle following the Valuation Date for such Component (or, if such date is not a Clearance System Business Day, the next following Clearance System Business Day).

5


Automatic Physical Settlement:
For each Component of the Transaction, if (i) by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the relevant Settlement Date, Counterparty has not otherwise effected delivery of the Number of Shares to be Delivered, and (ii) the Collateral Shares then recorded in the Collateral Account includes Shares with respect to which the representations and agreements set forth in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions are true and satisfied (or, at the absolute discretion of Morgan Stanley, Shares or Class B



Shares with respect to which such representations and agreements are not true or satisfied), then the delivery provided by Section 9.2 of the Equity Definitions shall be effected, in whole or in part, as the case may be, by delivery from the Collateral Account to Morgan Stanley on the relevant Settlement Date of a number of such Collateral Shares not to exceed the Number of Shares to be Delivered for such Component, subject to netting, if any, as provided pursuant to the terms of the Security Annex. Upon any such delivery, Morgan Stanley shall hold such Shares absolutely and free from any claim or right whatsoever (including without limitation the Security Interests created under the Security Annex or any claim or right of Counterparty).

Settlement and Valuation Terms if Cash Settlement is Applicable:

In respect of each Component:


Cash Settlement:
If Cash Settlement is applicable, Counterparty shall pay the aggregate of the Preliminary Cash Settlement Amounts for all Components on the Preliminary Cash Settlement Date.

For each Component:


(a)
if the Preliminary Cash Settlement Amount exceeds the Forward Cash Settlement Amount calculated in accordance with Section 8.5(f) of the Equity Definitions, Morgan Stanley shall pay to Counterparty the amount of such excess on the Cash Settlement Payment Date; and


(b)
if the Forward Cash Settlement Amount calculated in accordance with Section 8.5(f) of the Equity Definitions exceeds the Preliminary Cash Settlement Amount, Counterparty shall pay to Morgan Stanley the amount of such excess on the Cash Settlement Payment Date.


Preliminary Cash Settlement Amount:
For all Components, the Forward Cash Settlement Amount calculated in accordance with Section 8.5(f) of the Equity Definitions that would apply if the Scheduled Valuation Date for such Component were the applicable Preliminary Cash Settlement Pricing Date.

Method of Adjustment:
Calculation Agent Adjustment


Spin-off:
A distribution of New Shares (the “Spin-off Shares”) of a subsidiary of Issuer (the “Spin-off Issuer”) to holders of the Shares (the “Original Shares”).  With respect to a Spin-off, “New Shares” shall have the meaning provided in Section 12.1(i) of the Equity Definitions (as amended below opposite “New Shares”) except that the phrase immediately preceding clause (i) thereof shall be replaced by the following: “‘New Shares’ means ordinary or common shares of the Spin-off Issuer that are, or that as of the effectiveness of the relevant Spin-off are scheduled promptly to be,”.


Consequences of Spin-offs:
Morgan Stanley shall have the right to elect, by written notice to Counterparty, that Basket Adjustments or the Separate Transactions Adjustments shall apply to any Spin-off.


Basket Adjustments:
If Morgan Stanley shall have elected that Basket Adjustments apply to a Spin-off, then as of the ex-dividend date for such Spin-off, (i) “Shares” shall mean the Original Shares and the Spin-off Shares; (ii) the Transaction shall continue but as a Share Basket Forward Transaction with a Number of Baskets equal to the Number of Shares immediately prior to such Spin-off, and each Basket shall consist of one Original Share and the number of Spin-off Shares that a holder of one Original Share would have been entitled to receive in such Spin-off (and references to Shares herein shall be interpreted as references to Baskets, as the context requires); and (iii) the Calculation Agent shall make such adjustments to the exercise, settlement, payment or any other terms of the Transaction as the Calculation Agent determines using commercially reasonable judgment are appropriate to account for the economic effect on

7



the Transaction of such Spin-off (including adjustments to account for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relevant to the Shares or to the Transaction), which may, but need not, be determined by reference to the adjustment(s) made in respect of such Spin-off by an options exchange to options on the Shares traded on such options exchange.  As of the ex-dividend date of any subsequent Spin-off, the Calculation Agent shall make adjustments to the composition of the Basket and other terms of the Transaction in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.


Separate Transactions Adjustments:
If Morgan Stanley shall have elected that Separate Transactions Adjustments apply to a Spin-off, as of the ex-dividend date for such Spin-off, then the Transaction shall be considered two separate Transactions, each with terms identical to those of the original Transaction (the “Original Transaction”), except that:  (i) the “Shares” for the Original Transaction (the “Original Shares Transaction”) shall be the Original Shares and the “Shares” for the other transaction (the “Spin-off Shares Transaction”) shall be the Spin-off Shares; (ii) the Number of Shares for each Component of the Original Shares Transaction shall remain unchanged from the Number of Shares for such Component of the Original Transaction; (iii) the Number of Shares for each Component of the Spin-off Shares Transaction shall equal the product of (A) the Number of Shares for such Component of the Original Transaction (as in effect immediately prior to the ex-dividend date for such Spin-off) and (B) the number of Spin-off Shares that a holder of one share of Original Shares would have owned or been entitled to receive in connection with such Spin-Off; and (iv) the Calculation Agent shall make such adjustments to the exercise, settlement, payment or any other terms of each of the Original Shares Transaction and the Spin-Off Shares Transaction as the Calculation Agent determines using commercially reasonable judgment are appropriate to account for the economic effect on each of the Original Shares Transaction and the Spin-Off Shares Transaction of such Spin-off (including without limitation adjustments to account for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relevant to the Original Shares, the Spin-off Shares, the Original Shares Transaction or to the Spin-off Shares Transaction).  Following a Spin-off to which Separate Transactions Adjustments are applicable, this Confirmation shall apply in all respects (except as provided above) to both the Original Shares Transaction and the Spin-off Shares Transaction as if each were a separate Transaction under the Agreement. As of the ex-dividend date of any subsequent Spin-off, the Calculation Agent shall make adjustments to the terms of each of the Original Shares Transaction and the Spin-Off Shares Transaction in accordance with the second immediately preceding sentence.

Cash Dividend:
For each Component, any cash dividend or distribution on the Shares for which the ex-dividend date occurs at any time from, but excluding, the Trade Date to, and including, the Valuation Date for such Component, before the withholding or deduction of taxes at the source by, or on behalf of, any applicable authority having power to tax in respect of such a dividend, and excluding any imputation or other credits, refunds or deductions granted by any applicable authority having power to tax in respect of such dividend and any taxes, credits, refunds or benefits imposed, withheld, assessed or levied thereon.


Ordinary Cash Dividend Amount:
USD [   ] for the first Cash Dividend for which the ex-dividend date falls within any calendar quarter, and zero for any subsequent Cash Dividend for which the ex-dividend date falls



within the same calendar quarter (in each case, subject to adjustment by the Calculation Agent in accordance with Calculation Agent Adjustment to account for any Potential Adjustment Event or Merger Event and subject to adjustment by the Calculation Agent to account for any Spin-off or any change to the timing and/or frequency of the Issuer’s regular dividend).


Extraordinary Cash Dividend:
Any Cash Dividend the amount of which exceeds the Ordinary Cash Dividend Amount for such Cash Dividend, as determined by the Calculation Agent.

Obligations in Respect

of Cash Dividends:
In the event of any Cash Dividend:


(i)
Counterparty shall cause to be delivered to the Collateral Account, on the date such Cash Dividend is paid to holders of Shares, an amount equal to the product of (A) the Aggregate Number of Shares and (B) the per Share amount of any Extraordinary Cash Dividend (or, if Morgan Stanley determines in good faith and using commercially reasonable judgment that a Relevant Collateral Event, as defined in the Security Annex, has occurred and is continuing, the per Share amount of such Cash Dividend); and


(ii)
Counterparty shall make a cash payment to Morgan Stanley on the date any Extraordinary Cash Dividend is paid to holders of Shares, which may be made out of the cash delivered pursuant to clause (i) above, of an amount equal to the product of (A) the number of Shares comprising Morgan Stanley’s theoretical “delta” hedge position in respect of the Transaction immediately prior to the open of business on the ex-dividend date for such Extraordinary Cash Dividend and (B) the per Share amount of such Extraordinary Cash Dividend,

as determined by the Calculation Agent.

9

If, by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date Counterparty owes any such payment in respect of any Extraordinary Cash Dividend, Counterparty has not otherwise satisfied such obligation, and an amount of cash is then held in the Collateral Account, then the payment required by Counterparty shall be effected, in whole or in part, as the case may be, by delivery from the Collateral Account to Morgan Stanley in respect of such cash and applying it in discharge of Counterparty’s obligation to make such payment to the extent of such amount of cash then held in the Collateral Account, subject to the terms of the Security Annex.  For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 11.2 of the Equity Definitions shall also apply to any Extraordinary Cash Dividend.


Extraordinary Dividend:
(i) Any Extraordinary Cash Dividend or (ii) any dividend or distribution on the Shares that is not a Cash Dividend or a dividend or distribution of the type described in Section 11.2(e)(i), 11.2(e)(ii)(A) or 11.2(e)(ii)(B) of the Equity Definitions and is not a distribution of Spin-Off Shares.

Section 12.1(i) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the text in clause (i) thereof in its entirety (excluding the word “and” following such clause (i)) and replacing it with “publicly quoted, traded or listed on any of the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors)”.

For the avoidance of doubt, (a) the occurrence of an Announcement Event with respect to any transaction or intention shall not preclude the occurrence of a later Announcement Event with respect to such transaction or intention and (b) the settlement of the Issuer’s convertible debt as of the Trade Date (and any refinancing thereof to the extent it does not increase the number of the Issuer’s Shares that could be issued under the original convertible debt) shall not constitute an Announcement Event. For purposes of this definition of “Announcement Event,” the remainder of the definition of “Merger Event” in Section 12.1(b) of the Equity Definitions following the definition of “Reverse Merger” therein shall be disregarded.


Consequences of Announcement Events:
Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment as set forth in Section 12.3(d) of the Equity Definitions; provided that, in respect of an Announcement Event, (x) references to “Tender Offer” shall be replaced by references to “Announcement Event” and references to “Tender Offer Date” shall be replaced by references to “date of such Announcement Event”, (y) the word “shall” in the second line shall be replaced with “may” and (z) for the avoidance of doubt, the Calculation Agent may determine, using its commercially reasonable judgment, whether the relevant Announcement Event has had a material effect on the Transaction (and, if so, adjust the terms of the Transaction accordingly) on one or more occasions on or after the date of the Announcement Event up to, and including, the Valuation Date, any Early Termination Date and/or any other date of cancellation, it being understood that any adjustment in

11



respect of an Announcement Event shall take into account any earlier adjustment relating to the same Announcement Event. An Announcement Event shall be an “Extraordinary Event” for purposes of the Equity Definitions, to which Article 12 of the Equity Definitions is applicable.

Limitation on Certain Adjustments:
Notwithstanding any provision of the Equity Definitions or this Confirmation to the contrary, no adjustment solely to account for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relevant to the Shares or to any Transaction as a result of a Potential Adjustment Event or an Extraordinary Event shall increase the Number of Shares for any Component.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Equity Definitions or this Confirmation to the contrary, if the Calculation Agent determines that no such adjustment that it could make in accordance with the preceding sentence will produce a commercially reasonable result, then the Calculation Agent may notify the parties that the consequence of such event shall be the termination of such Transaction, in which case an Additional Termination Event shall be deemed to have occurred, with the terminated Transaction being the Affected Transaction and Counterparty being the sole Affected Party, and Section 6 of the Agreement shall apply to such Affected Transaction.

 For purposes of above:


(i)
the “Section 16 Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of  Shares that Morgan Stanley and any of its affiliates or any other person subject to aggregation with Morgan Stanley for purposes of the “beneficial ownership” test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act, or any “group” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) of which Morgan Stanley is or may be deemed to be a part beneficially owns (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act), without duplication, on such day (or, to the extent that for any reason the equivalent calculation under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder results in a higher number, such higher number) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day (including any Shares issuable upon conversion of any Class B Shares beneficially owned by Morgan Stanley or its affiliates or any such person or group).


(ii)
the “Share Amount” as of any day is the number of Shares that Morgan Stanley and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Morgan Stanley (Morgan Stanley or any such person, a “Morgan Stanley Person”) under any law, rule, regulation or regulatory order or any organizational documents of Issuer or any agreement to which Issuer is a party that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (including Shares issuable upon conversion of Class B Shares) (“Applicable Restrictions”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership of under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Morgan Stanley in its reasonable discretion.



21


(iii)
the “Applicable Share Limit” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Morgan Stanley Person, or would result in an adverse effect on a Morgan Stanley Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Morgan Stanley in its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding.

(b)
Right to Consolidate, Divide and Extend.  Morgan Stanley may: (x) consolidate two or more Components into a single Component and/or (y) divide any Component into additional Components and designate the Valuation Date and the Number of Shares for each such Component and/or (z) postpone, in whole or in part, any Valuation Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to the whole or any part of any one or more Component for up to [   ] Scheduled Trading Days (in which each such event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Number of Shares with respect to such Components) if Morgan Stanley determines, in its commercially reasonable judgment that such consolidation, division and/or extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve Morgan Stanley’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions (but only if liquidity conditions have materially decreased as compared with circumstances existing on the Trade Date) or to enable Morgan Stanley to effect purchases or sales of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that is in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures of Morgan Stanley generally applicable in similar situations and applied in a non-discriminatory manner.

(d)
Indemnification.  In addition to any remedies afforded Morgan Stanley in connection with the Transaction or under this Confirmation, Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Morgan Stanley and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several (collectively, “Damages”), to which an Indemnified Person may become subject arising out of or in connection with any breach of any covenant or representation made by Counterparty in the Agreement and this Confirmation or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating thereto, regardless of whether any of such Indemnified Persons is a party thereto, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing; provided that Counterparty shall not have any liability to any Indemnified Person to the extent that such Damages are finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have directly resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person (and in such case, such Indemnified Person shall promptly return to Counterparty any amounts previously expended by Counterparty hereunder).

(e)
Transfer or Assignment.  Counterparty may not transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Transaction without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Morgan Stanley may, without Counterparty’s consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction to any affiliate of Morgan Stanley (1) that has a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness that is equal to or better than Morgan Stanley’s credit rating at the time of such transfer or assignment, or (2) whose obligations hereunder will be guaranteed, pursuant to the terms of a customary guarantee in a form used by Morgan Stanley generally for similar transactions, by Morgan Stanley or Morgan Stanley’s ultimate parent entity.  Morgan Stanley may, with Counterparty’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction to any other third party with a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness equal to or better than the lesser of (1) the credit rating of Morgan Stanley at the time of the transfer and (2) [   ] by S&P Global Ratings or its successor (“S&P”), or [   ] by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or, if either S&P or Moody’s ceases to rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating or better by a substitute rating agency mutually agreed by Counterparty and Morgan Stanley.  If at any time at which the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (such condition, an “Excess Ownership Position”), Morgan Stanley is unable after using its commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or assignment of any Transaction hereunder to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Morgan Stanley and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Morgan Stanley and in a manner that Morgan Stanley determines in its reasonable discretion is in accordance with applicable law and interpretation (including without limitation the Interpretive Letters) such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then Morgan Stanley may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of such Transaction (the “Terminated Portion”), such that following such partial termination no Excess Ownership Position exists.  In the event that Morgan Stanley so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a Terminated Portion, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of the Transaction having terms identical to such Transaction and a Number of Shares equal to the Number of Shares for the Terminated Portion, (2) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (3) the Terminated Portion were the sole Affected Transaction

23

Morgan Stanley shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.

(g)

Each party hereby consents to the disclosure of information:


(i)

(b)      If on any day a Cash Dividend is paid to holders of Shares, Morgan Stanley determines, using good faith and commercially reasonable judgment, that no Relevant Collateral Event has occurred and is continuing, then immediately following satisfaction of Counterparty’s obligations under the “Obligations in Respect of Cash Dividends” provision of the Confirmation in respect of a Cash Dividend, (i) any remaining USD in the Collateral Account as a result of such Cash Dividend shall be automatically fully released and discharged from the Security Interests created hereunder, and Morgan Stanley shall promptly pay over such remaining USD out of the Collateral Account to Counterparty free and clear of such Security Interests created hereunder, and (ii) any Ordinary Cash Dividends shall be automatically fully released and discharged from the Security Interests created hereunder.  If Morgan Stanley determines, using good faith and commercially reasonable judgment, that a Relevant Collateral Event has occurred and is continuing, Morgan Stanley may instruct the Issuer to pay all cash dividends or other cash distributions with respect to the Collateral to the Collateral Account.

(c)      Counterparty agrees that Counterparty shall forthwith upon demand pay to Morgan Stanley:

(i)   the amount of any taxes (other than taxes of the type Counterparty is not required to pay under Section 5(d) of this Security Annex) that Morgan Stanley may have been required to pay by reason of the Security Interests created hereunder or to free any of the Collateral from any other Security Interest thereon; and

(ii)  the amount of any and all third-party expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by Morgan Stanley in connection with (1) the maintenance of the Security Interests granted by Counterparty pursuant to this Security Annex, including such expenses as are incurred to preserve the validity, perfection or rank of the Security Interests, (2) the collection, sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral upon enforcement of the Security Interest or (3) the exercise by Morgan Stanley of any of the rights conferred upon it with respect to the Security Interests under this Security Annex.

Any such amount not paid on demand shall be treated as an Unpaid Amount for purposes of Section 9(h)(ii) of the Agreement whether or not an Early Termination Date shall have occurred or been designated; provided that interest on such Unpaid Amount shall accrue at the Default Rate until such Unpaid Amount, including interest thereon, shall have been paid.
(d)      Counterparty shall promptly pay when due all taxes, assessments or charges or similar obligations that are imposed with respect to the Collateral, or income or distributions in respect of the Collateral, and any such taxes, assessments or charges shall not be an “Indemnifiable Tax” for purposes of
B-3

Section 14 of the Agreement.  Accordingly, for the avoidance of doubt, any proceeds or other amounts paid or credited to Counterparty in respect of the Collateral, or income or distributions thereon, shall be determined net of any and all present or future taxes, assessments or charges described in the preceding sentence (including interest, penalties and additions thereto) that are imposed by any government or other taxing authority.

6.          Income and Voting Rights in Collateral.
(a)      Subject to Section 5(b), all proceeds of the Collateral shall be received by Morgan Stanley and retained in the Collateral Account (such proceeds, “Retained Proceeds”), and Counterparty shall take all such action as Morgan Stanley shall deem necessary or appropriate to give effect to such arrangement.  Subject to Section 5(b), all such Retained Proceeds that are received by Counterparty shall be received in trust for the benefit of Morgan Stanley and, if Morgan Stanley so directs, shall be segregated from other funds of Counterparty and shall, forthwith upon demand by Morgan Stanley, be delivered over to Morgan Stanley for credit to the Collateral Account in the same form as received (with any necessary endorsement).

(b)      Unless an Event of Default with respect to Counterparty shall have occurred and be continuing, a Collateral Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or any Early Termination Date shall have occurred or been designated, Counterparty shall have the right, from time to time, to vote and to give consents, ratifications and waivers with respect to the Collateral.

(c)      If an Event of Default with respect to Counterparty shall have occurred and be continuing, a Collateral Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or any Early Termination Date shall have occurred or been designated, Morgan Stanley shall have the right, to the extent permitted by law, and Counterparty shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to give effect to such right, to vote and to give consents, ratifications and waivers, and to take any other action with respect to any or all of the Collateral with the same force and effect as if Morgan Stanley were the absolute and sole owner thereof.

7.          Remedies.
(a)      If any Event of Default with respect to Counterparty shall have occurred and be continuing, a Collateral Event of Default or Counterparty Payment Event shall have occurred and be continuing or any Early Termination Date shall have occurred or been designated, then, Morgan Stanley may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, exercise all the rights of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised) and, in addition, without being required to give any notice, except as herein provided or as may be required by mandatory provisions of law, may deliver or cause to be delivered to itself in whole or partial, as the case may be, satisfaction of Counterparty’s obligations to deliver Shares, a number of Collateral Shares, not to exceed the number of Shares required to be delivered, whereupon Morgan Stanley shall hold such Shares absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of Counterparty that may be waived or any other right or claim of Counterparty, and Counterparty, to the extent permitted by law, hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal that Counterparty has or may have under any law now existing or hereafter adopted or may set-off any amounts payable by Counterparty with respect to any Secured Obligations against any Collateral or the cash equivalent of any Collateral (or any obligation of Morgan Stanley to return Collateral to Counterparty or the Collateral Account).  Counterparty covenants and agrees that Counterparty will execute and deliver such documents and take such other action as Morgan Stanley deems necessary or advisable in order that any sale of Collateral may be made in compliance with law, provided, however, that in no event shall Counterparty be required to take any action or deliver any document to permit or facilitate any sale of Collateral by or on behalf of Morgan Stanley to be effected pursuant to registration under the Securities Act.

(b)      Counterparty hereby irrevocably appoints Morgan Stanley as Counterparty’s true and lawful attorney (which power of attorney is coupled with an interest), with full power of substitution, in the name of Counterparty, Morgan Stanley or otherwise, for the sole use and benefit of Morgan Stanley, but at the expense of Counterparty, to the extent permitted by law, to exercise, at any time and from time to time while a Counterparty Payment Event has occurred and is continuing, Event of Default with respect to
B-4

Counterparty has occurred and is continuing, Collateral Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or following the occurrence or designation of an Early Termination Date, all or any of the following powers with respect to all or any of the Collateral:

(i)      to demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all monies due or to become due upon or by virtue thereof;

(ii)      to settle, compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding with respect thereto;

(iii)   to sell, convert, transfer, assign or otherwise deal in or with the same or the proceeds or avails thereof, as fully and effectually as if Morgan Stanley were the absolute owner thereof and in connection therewith, to make all necessary deeds, bills of sale, instruments of assignment, transfer or conveyance of the property, and all instructions and entitlement orders in respect of the property thus to be (or that is being or has been) sold, transferred, assigned or otherwise dealt in;  and

(iv)    to extend the time of payment of any or all thereof and to make any allowance and other adjustments with reference thereto;

provided that Morgan Stanley shall give Counterparty not less than three Scheduled Trading Days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any sale or other intended disposition of any of the Collateral, except any Collateral that threatens to decline speedily in value, including, without limitation, equity securities, or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, including the Class B Shares and the Shares. Morgan Stanley and Counterparty agree that such notice constitutes “reasonable authenticated notification” within the meaning of Section 9-611(b) of the UCC.
(c)      In connection with Morgan Stanley’s exercise of its remedies under this Security Annex, all or any part of the Collateral (including any proceeds of the realization thereof) shall be applied to the payment of the Secured Obligations in such order as Morgan Stanley shall determine in its commercially reasonable judgment.

8.          Termination of Security Interest.  Upon the occurrence of the date when no amounts are or thereafter may become payable or Shares deliverable by Counterparty with respect to any Secured Obligations (other than contingent obligations with respect to which no claim has been made) (such date, the “Termination Date”), any Collateral then remaining shall be fully released and discharged from the Security Interests hereunder and delivered to Counterparty by Morgan Stanley, all at the request and expense of Counterparty.  Morgan Stanley agrees to cooperate with such release and make any filings, execute such documents and take such other actions, including redelivery of Collateral, upon the reasonable request and at the expense of Counterparty.
9.          Additional Representations and Warranties Regarding Collateral.
Counterparty hereby represents and warrants to Morgan Stanley as of the Trade Date that:
(a)      Upon the delivery of the Collateral in accordance with Section 3 and Section 5(a) of this Security Annex, Morgan Stanley will have a valid and perfected security interest in such Collateral, and the proceeds thereof, as security for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, subject to no prior Security Interest.  No person or entity other than Morgan Stanley has Control or possession of all or any part of the Collateral.

(b)      The information provided on Exhibit I hereto is true and complete.

10.          Choice of Law.  The law in force in the State of New York shall govern all issues specified in the Convention on the Law Applicable to Certain Rights in Respect of Securities Held with an Intermediary, July 5, 2006, S. Treaty Doc. No. 112-6, 46 I.L.M. 649 (The “Hague Securities Convention”) Article 2(1).  The parties agree that the foregoing sentence amends any account agreement (within the meaning of the Hague Securities Convention) that may govern the Collateral Account and such amendment is applicable only with respect to the Collateral Account.
