2.    The Owners acknowledge and agree that if at any time the Membership or any direct or indirect ownership interest in the Knickerbockers (except for interests that may be transferred without NBA approval under NBA Rules or as provided in Section 3 below) shall be sold, assigned or otherwise transferred to any third party (whether directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise and including any change of control), (a) Knicks LLC, MSG, each subsidiary of MSG that owns a direct or indirect interest in Knicks LLC or any Basketball-Related Assets (as defined in that certain Agreement and Undertaking, dated as of the date hereof, between the NBA and the Owners) each transferring Owner, and each individual and entity that directly or indirectly owns an interest in such transferring Owner (including the trustees and beneficiaries of any trusts), shall be required to execute a document containing, among other things, release and indemnification provisions in favor of the NBA Entities, the NBA Teams and various other persons and entities substantially in the form then required by the NBA, (b) Knicks, LLC, MSG, each subsidiary of MSG that owns a direct or indirect interest in Knicks LLC or any Basketball-Related Assets, each transferee, and each individual and entity that directly or indirectly owns an interest in such transferee (including the trustees and beneficiaries of any trusts) shall be required to execute an agreement and undertaking substantially in the form as may then be required by the NBA, and (c) all contracts, agreements and other arrangements (including, but not limited to, any leases or telecast or broadcast agreements) between the Knickerbockers, Knicks LLC, any other Team Party or any division or subsidiary of any Team Party operating the Knickerbockers (to the extent such agreement or arrangement relates to the Knickerbockers) or any other Basketball-Related Assets and any other Team Party or any other divisions or subsidiaries of any Team Party or any of the other Owners or any of their respective Affiliates shall terminate upon such sale, transfer or assignment unless the NBA Entities shall otherwise consent or unless the NBA Entities have waived their rights under

this provision in a writing that refers to this provision or have previously approved such agreements in the ordinary course (whether or not reference was made to this provision).

3.    (a)    The Owners acknowledge and agree that, subject to Article 5(h)(iii) of the NBA Constitution (which is attached hereto as Annex A and which currently shall apply only to transfers of interests in MSG), any direct or indirect sale, assignment, pledge, change of control, change in voting or economic interests or other transfer of the Membership or any assets of any Team Party constituting the Knickerbockers or any other Basketball-Related Assets (other than transfers of such assets in the ordinary course of business), or of any direct, indirect, contingent or convertible interest (regardless of the size of the interest) in or ownership rights with respect to the Knickerbockers or any of the Owners (each, a “transfer”), including, but not limited to, (i) any addition, replacement or substitution of a trustee or beneficiary of any trust having a direct or indirect interest in the Knickerbockers, or any distribution of shares from such trust, and (ii) the grant, conversion or exercise of Contingent Interests, in each case whether or not contemplated by the Transaction Documents, shall require the prior approval of the NBA Entities in accordance with NBA Rules. The Owners further acknowledge and agree that proposed transfers must comply with the NBA Ownership Transfer Policies and Ownership Transfer Manual. The NBA has confirmed that pursuant to Article 5(h)(iii) of the NBA Constitution as presently in effect and a waiver obtained with respect thereto: (A) an Institutional Investor may acquire up to 15% of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock of MSG (but not effective control of any Team Party) without obtaining NBA approval; and (B) in light of historical NBA transfer provisions applicable to Dolan family members and Trusts with respect to their stockholdings in Cablevision Systems Corporation and TMSGC, transfers of common stock of MSG among Dolan family members and Trusts that are Owners, and changes in beneficiaries of those Trusts (so long as all beneficiaries are Dolan family

members), shall not require NBA approval, provided that such transfers by or to a single Owner (together with any prior transfers by or to such Owner that have not been approved by the NBA) represent less than 5% of the outstanding common shares and do not change the effective control of any Team Party or otherwise alter the voting arrangements with respect to the common shares as in effect on the date of this Agreement. Knicks LLC and MSG shall notify the NBA promptly upon becoming aware of any person or entity acquiring 5% or more of the outstanding shares of any class of MSG, or of any increase in such ownership of 1% or more. For purposes of this Section 3(a), an “Institutional Investor” shall be defined with reference to Rule 13d-1(b)(1)(ii) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as currently in effect (the “Rule”). An Acceptable Person is a person who falls within one or more of the categories of persons listed in the Rule other than clauses (G), (H) (I) and (K) thereof. An Acceptable Person is an Institutional Investor only if the sum of its assets (a) owned and (b) under management exceeds US $500 million or, in the case of a registered investment company, $100 million. An Acceptable Person referred to in clause (J) of the Rule who meets the requirements of the preceding sentence is an Institutional Investor only if the substantially comparable regulatory scheme is in a Covered Country. If an Acceptable Person qualifies as an Institutional Investor under either of the two immediately preceding sentences then each of its Affiliates shall be deemed to be an Institutional Investor; provided, that such Acceptable Person and its Affiliates cannot in the aggregate own more than 15% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock and no Affiliate that is not an Acceptable Person can own 5% or more of the outstanding common stock. A “Covered Country” is Switzerland, Canada, Australia, Japan, China and any country in Europe included in the so-called G-20 group. For purposes of this Section 3(a), a person will be deemed to be an “Affiliate” of an Institutional Investor if such person controls, is controlled by or is under common control with, such Institutional Investor.

(b)    Subject to the following sentence, the parties acknowledge and agree that if shares of MSG shall be transferred in violation of NBA Rules, the NBA Entities shall be entitled to exercise such rights and remedies (legal, equitable or otherwise) as may be available to them under NBA Rules and applicable law (including, but not limited to, termination of the Knickerbockers’ NBA Membership or the direct or indirect ownership interest in the Knickerbockers of the transferor or transferee); provided that nothing herein or in such NBA Rules shall limit the right of a transferor of Class A shares of MSG to convey good title in the shares to a transferee in a transfer conducted through the New York Stock Exchange or another major stock exchange or in a private transfer of Class A shares that, together with any related transfers, represent less than 5% of the outstanding shares of MSG; provided further that the NBA Entities reserve all rights to challenge the right of the transferee to retain ownership of such shares. The NBA Entities agree that, in the case of any violations or alleged violations of Article 5 of the NBA Constitution (or any successor provision), related NBA Rules or Sections 3(a) or (b) of this Agreement in connection with the public acquisition of the Class A common stock of MSG by a party that is not an Owner or an Affiliate of an Owner, and is acting independently of, and not in concert with or with the approval of, an Owner, an Affiliate of an Owner or the executive management or board of directors of an Owner or its Affiliate, the NBA Entities shall not enforce or seek to enforce any remedies against the Owners in respect of such violations or alleged violations unless it has given MSG at least 45 days’ written notice of its intention to enforce such remedies, provided that MSG shall during such 45-day period be acting in good faith to eliminate the ownership interest in MSG that gave rise to the violation or alleged violation and provided, further, that such 45-day period shall be extended for up to five years- so long as MSG continues to so act.

4.    (a)    The Team Parties jointly and severally shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the NBA Entities, the NBA Teams (other than Knicks LLC), and each of their respective predecessors, successors, assigns and affiliates, and the past, present and future direct and indirect directors, officers, employees, agents, owners, partners, members, managers, shareholders, governors, affiliates and subsidiaries of each of the foregoing (collectively, including the NBA Entities and NBA Teams, the “Affiliated NBA Parties”) from and against all actions, causes of action, suits, debts, obligations, losses, damages, amounts paid in settlement, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) resulting to, imposed upon, asserted against or incurred by any Affiliated NBA Party (including, but not limited to, in any action between any of the Owners and any Affiliated NBA Party) in connection with or arising out of any breach by any of the Owners under this Agreement, except that, in the case of Losses suffered by NBA Teams or their affiliates (other than the NBA Entities), such Losses shall not include damages payable by such NBA Team or affiliate to an Owner in a proceeding in which such Owner is the prevailing party or expenses incurred by such NBA Team or affiliate in the proceeding.

(b)Upon the request of the NBA, the applicable Team Parties shall advance to the NBA or another indemnified party an amount equal to any Losses as those Losses are incurred.

(c)Any Affiliated NBA Party claiming a right of indemnity hereunder shall give the indemnifying party prompt notice of the claim, action, suit, proceeding or circumstance giving rise to the potential Losses and shall afford the indemnifying party the opportunity to participate in the defense of such claim, action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that the failure of any Affiliated NBA Party to give such prompt notice shall not affect its right to receive

indemnification under this Agreement except to the extent the indemnifying party is materially and adversely affected by the failure.

5.    Subject to Section 3(b) hereof, in the event of any breach by any of the Owners of its agreements contained herein, in addition to all other legal and equitable rights and remedies available to the NBA Entities and the NBA Teams (including, without limitation, the authority of the NBA Commissioner to impose fines and other penalties under Article 24 of the NBA Constitution), such breach shall constitute a failure to fulfill a contractual obligation within the meaning of Article 13(d) of the NBA Constitution, and shall entitle the NBA Entities and NBA Teams to exercise all rights and remedies against MSG and any other applicable Team Party as if MSG or such Team Party had itself committed such breach.

6.Any notice or other communication under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be considered given when delivered personally, sent by reputable overnight courier or mailed by registered mail, return receipt requested, to the parties at the addresses set forth above (or at such other address as a party may specify by notice similarly given).

7.The covenants and agreements by the Owners contained in this Agreement shall be construed as several covenants by each of the Owners in favor of the NBA Entities that may be relied on solely by the NBA Entities, and not as covenants between any of the Owners. Accordingly, any of such covenants and agreements, and any of the representations made by the Owners in this Agreement, may be waived, amended, consented to or otherwise approved by the NBA Entities, on the one hand, and the particular Owner to which such covenant, agreement or representation applies, on the other hand, without the consent or approval of any other party, including, but not limited to, in cases where one or more other Owners has made the same or a similar covenant, agreement or representation that is not being waived, amended, consented to or

otherwise approved by the NBA Entities as to such Owner. By way of illustration and not limitation, changes in any Owner’s direct or indirect ownership of the Knickerbockers may be consented to by such Owner and the NBA Entities without the consent of any other party. The covenants and agreements by the Owners contained in this Agreement shall apply to them in their capacities as owners of an interest in the Membership and otherwise.

8.This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely in New York. Pursuant to Article 24(h) of the NBA Constitution, the provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted by the NBA Commissioner.

9    As used in this Agreement (except for Section 3(a)), “Affiliate” means: (a) with respect to a specified person or entity, (i) any other person or entity directly or indirectly controlled by, controlling or under common control with the specified person or entity, provided that MSG and its direct and indirect subsidiaries shall be deemed Affiliates of the Principal Owners but not any of the other Family Owners (unless and until such other Family Owners acquire a direct or indirect controlling interest in the Knickerbockers), (ii) any person who is an officer, director or trustee of, or serves in a similar capacity with respect to, the specified entity, (iii) any other person or entity that, directly or indirectly, is the beneficial owner of 50% or more of any class of equity interests of the specified entity, or of which the specified person or entity, directly or indirectly, is the owner of 50% or more of any class of equity interests, and (iv) the spouse, children and other lineal descendants (collectively, “Relatives”) of the specified person, any trust for the benefit of the specified person or his or her Relatives, and any entity directly or indirectly controlled by one or more Relatives of the specified person; and (b) with respect to each Principal Owner, (i) each beneficiary of the Trusts and any other direct or indirect owner of Class B Common Stock (including

trustees and beneficiaries of trusts), and their respective Affiliates, and (ii) each other Owner and its Affiliates. Certain current and future beneficiaries of the Trusts are not executing this Agreement, but the representations and covenants of the Owners under this Agreement shall be deemed made on their behalf by the Owners that are Affiliates of those beneficiaries, and the Principal Owners and other Owners that are Affiliates of those beneficiaries shall cause those beneficiaries to comply with all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement applicable to Family Owners.

10.    This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, which together shall constitute the same instrument.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the NBA and each of the Owners have executed and delivered this Transfer Consent Agreement, intending to be bound hereby, as of the date first written above.
