determination of level of benefits, and, to the extent applicable, benefit accruals under any Spinco Plan for such Spinco Participant’s service with any member of the MSG Networks Group prior to the Distribution Date to the same extent such
service was recognized by the corresponding MSG Networks Plans immediately prior to the Distribution Date; provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in the duplication
of benefits. 
 (b) Post-Distribution Service Crediting for the MSG Networks Retained Retirement Plans and Spinco Retained Retirement
Plans. Each of MSG Networks and Spinco (acting directly or through their respective Subsidiaries) shall cause each of the MSG Networks Retained Retirement Plans and the Spinco Retained Retirement Plans, respectively, to provide the following
service crediting rules effective as of the Distribution Date: 
 (i) If an MSG Networks Employee who participates in, or is

Distribution Date, but on or before the Service Crediting Date, and such MSG Networks Employee has been continuously employed by the MSG Networks Group from the Distribution Date through the date such MSG Networks Employee commences active
employment with a member of the Spinco Group, then such MSG Networks Employee’s service with the MSG Networks Group following the Distribution Date shall be recognized for purposes of eligibility, vesting and level of benefits under the
corresponding Spinco Retained Retirement Plans, in each case to the same extent as such MSG Networks Employee’s service with the MSG Networks Group was recognized under the corresponding MSG Networks Retained Retirement Plans, if any. 

  
 -10- 








 (ii) If a Spinco Employee becomes employed by a member of the MSG Networks Group

manner exercises of MSG Networks Options and Spinco Options and the settlement of MSG Networks RSUs and Spinco RSUs. Each of the Parties will work together to unify and consolidate all indicative data and payroll and employment information on

withholding/remittance, compliance with trading windows and compliance with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and other applicable Laws.

(c) Shared Executives. For purposes of this Agreement, for so long as any executive is employed by both MSG Networks and Spinco, such
executive shall be considered to be a Spinco Employee with respect to all amounts and awards outstanding as of the Distribution Date except for amounts and awards explicitly retained by MSG Networks in writing. With respect to all such awards, MSG
Networks shall pay to Spinco an amount equal to (a) 33% of the liability accrued by MSG Networks with respect to such award as of the Distribution Date, and (b) 30% of all liability accrued by Spinco with respect to such award after the
Distribution Date. Such payment shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within 30 days, following the date that Spinco pays out the applicable award to the executive. 

(d) Effect of the Distribution on Severance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the transactions contemplated by the Distribution
Agreement will not constitute a termination of employment of any Spinco Participant for purposes of any policy, plan, program or agreement of MSG Networks or Spinco or any member of the MSG Networks Group or Spinco Group that provides for the
payment of severance, separation pay, salary continuation or similar benefits in the event of a termination of employment. 

  
 -23- 








 (e) Rangers Arrangements. As of the Distribution Date, Spinco shall assume the
compensation and/or salary arrangements, and any agreements and assets related thereto, in respect of Glen Sather, Kevin Stevens, Jaromir Jagr and Bradley Richards. 

Section 8.3 Non-Competition. For the purpose of any non-compete provision in any MSG Networks Plan or any award thereunder,
Spinco shall not be regarded as a “competitive entity.” For the purpose of any non-compete provision in any Spinco Plan or any award thereunder, MSG Networks shall not be regarded as a “competitive entity.” This
Section 8.3 shall apply only so long as MSG Networks and Spinco remain under common Control. 
 Section 8.4
Collective Bargaining. To the extent any provision of this Agreement is contrary to the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement to which MSG Networks or Spinco or any of their respective Subsidiaries is a party, the terms of
such collective bargaining agreement shall prevail. Should any provisions of this Agreement be deemed to relate to a topic determined by an appropriate authority to be a mandatory subject of collective bargaining, MSG Networks or Spinco may be
obligated to bargain with the union representing affected employees concerning those subjects. 
 Section 8.5 Union Dues;
Severance and Fringe Benefits. MSG Networks and its Subsidiaries shall retain responsibility for the payment of dues and severance and fringe benefit payments on behalf of MSG Networks Employees with respect to the unions set forth on

payable in respect of service on the MSG Networks Board of Directors that are payable but not yet paid as of the Distribution Date, and Spinco shall have no responsibility for any such payments (to an individual who is a member of the Spinco Board
of Directors as of the Distribution Date or otherwise). 
 Section 8.7 Sections 162(m)/409A. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary (including the treatment of supplemental and deferred compensation plans, outstanding long-term incentive awards and annual incentive awards as described herein), the Parties agree to negotiate in good
faith regarding the need for any treatment different from that otherwise provided herein to ensure that (i) a federal income tax deduction for the payment of such supplemental or deferred compensation or long-term incentive award, annual
incentive award or other compensation is not limited by reason of Section 162(m) of the Code, and (ii) the treatment of such supplemental or deferred compensation or long-term incentive award, annual incentive award or other compensation
does not cause the imposition of a tax under Section 409A of the Code. 
 Section 8.8 2015 Administrative
Bonus. It is understood that Spinco is expected to pay administrative (non-management) bonuses for calendar year 2015 (each, an “Admin Bonus”) to eligible employees in December 2015. As soon as reasonably


  
 -24- 








 
practicable, but in any event within 30 days, following the date that Spinco pays an Admin Bonus to a Spinco Employee who, immediately prior to the Distribution, was (a) a
“corporate” employee of MSG Networks, MSG Networks will pay to Spinco an amount equal to 33% of the liability accrued by MSG Networks with respect to such Spinco Employee’s Admin Bonus as of the Distribution Date, or (b) an
advertising sales employee in the Media division of MSG Networks, MSG Networks will pay to Spinco an amount equal to the liability accrued by MSG Networks with respect to such Spinco Employee’s Admin Bonus as of the Distribution Date. 

ARTICLE IX 

INDEMNIFICATION 

Section 9.1 Indemnification. All Liabilities retained or assumed by or allocated to MSG Networks or the MSG Networks Group
pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be “MSG Networks Liabilities” (as defined in the Distribution Agreement) for purposes of Article III of the Distribution Agreement, and all Liabilities retained or assumed by or allocated
to Spinco or the Spinco Group pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be “Spinco Liabilities” (as defined in the Distribution Agreement) for purposes of Article III of the Distribution Agreement. 

ARTICLE X 
 GENERAL AND
ADMINISTRATIVE 
 Section 10.1 Sharing of Information. MSG Networks and Spinco (acting directly or through their
respective Subsidiaries) shall provide to the other and their respective agents and vendors all Information as the other may reasonably request to enable the requesting Party to administer efficiently and accurately each of its Plans, to assist
Spinco in obtaining its own insurance policies to provide benefits under Spinco Plans, and to determine the scope of, as well as fulfill, its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that, in the event that any Party
reasonably determines that any such provision of Information could be commercially detrimental to such Party or any member of its Group, violate any Law or agreement to which such Party or member of its Group is a party, or waive any attorney-client
privilege applicable to such Party or member of its Group, the Parties shall provide any such Information and the Parties shall take all reasonable measures to comply with the obligations pursuant to this Section 10.1 in a manner that
mitigates any such harm or consequence to the extent practicable, and the Parties agree to cooperate with each other and take such commercially reasonable steps as may be practicable to preserve the attorney-client privilege with respect to the
disclosure of any such Information. Such Information shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, be provided in the format and at the times and places requested, but in no event shall the Party providing such Information be obligated to incur any
out-of-pocket expenses not reimbursed by the Party making such request or make such Information available outside of its normal business hours and premises. Any Information shared or exchanged pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the same
confidentiality requirements set forth in Section 4.4 of the Distribution Agreement. 
 Section 10.2 Reasonable
Efforts/Cooperation. Each of the Parties hereto will use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws
and regulations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including adopting plans 

  
 -25- 








 
or plan amendments. Each of the Parties hereto shall cooperate fully on any issue relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for which the other Party seeks a determination
letter or private letter ruling from the IRS, an advisory opinion from the DOL or any other filing, consent or approval with respect to or by a Governmental Authority. 

Section 10.3 Non-Termination of Employment; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. No provision of this Agreement or the
Distribution Agreement shall be construed to create any right, or accelerate entitlement, to any compensation or benefit whatsoever on the part of any MSG Networks Employee or Spinco Employee or other future, present, or former employee of any
member of the MSG Networks Group or Spinco Group under any MSG Networks Plan or Spinco Plan or otherwise. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this
Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person or persons (including any employee or former employee of MSG Networks or Spinco or either of their respective Subsidiaries or any beneficiary or dependent thereof)
any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. No provision in this Agreement shall modify or amend any other agreement, plan, program, or document unless this Agreement explicitly states that the
provision “amends” that other agreement, plan, program, or document. This shall not prevent the Parties entitled to enforce this Agreement from enforcing any provision in this Agreement, but no other person shall be entitled to enforce any
provision in this Agreement on the grounds that it is an amendment to another agreement, plan, program, or document unless the provision is explicitly designated as such in this Agreement, and the person is otherwise entitled to enforce the other
agreement, plan, program, or document. If a person not entitled to enforce this Agreement brings a lawsuit or other action to enforce any provision in this Agreement as an amendment to another agreement, plan, program, or document, and that
provision is construed to be such an amendment despite not being explicitly designated as one in this Agreement, that provision in this Agreement shall be void ab initio, thereby precluding it from having any amendatory effect. Furthermore,
nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer upon any employee or former employee of MSG Networks, Spinco or either of their respective Subsidiaries any right to continued employment, or any recall or similar rights to an individual on layoff or
any type of approved leave. 
 Section 10.4 Consent of Third Parties. If any provision of this Agreement is dependent on
the consent of any third party and such consent is withheld, the Parties hereto shall use their reasonable best efforts to implement the applicable provisions of this Agreement to the fullest extent practicable. If any provision of this Agreement
cannot be implemented due to the failure of such third party to consent, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to implement the provision in a mutually satisfactory manner. 

Section 10.5 Access to Employees. Following the Distribution Date, MSG Networks and Spinco shall, or shall cause each of
their respective Subsidiaries to, make available to each other those of their employees who may reasonably be needed in order to defend or prosecute any legal or administrative action (other than a legal action between any member of the MSG Networks
Group and any member of the Spinco Group) to which any employee, director or Plan of the MSG Networks Group or Spinco Group is a party and which relates to their respective Plans prior to the Distribution Date. 

  
 -26- 








 Section 10.6 Beneficiary Designation/Release of Information/Right to
Reimbursement. To the extent permitted by applicable Law and except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, all beneficiary designations, authorizations for the release of information and rights to reimbursement made by or relating to
Spinco Participants under MSG Networks Plans shall be transferred to and be in full force and effect under the corresponding Spinco Plans until such beneficiary designations, authorizations or rights are replaced or revoked by, or no longer apply
to, the relevant Spinco Participant. 
 Section 10.7 Not a Change in Control. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree
that the transactions contemplated by the Distribution Agreement and this Agreement do not constitute a “change in control” for purposes of any MSG Networks Plan or Spinco Plan. 

ARTICLE XI

the Parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Distribution Date.

Waivers. The failure of any Party to require strict performance by any other Party of any provision in this Agreement will not waive or diminish that Party’s right to demand strict performance thereafter of that or any other
provision hereof. 
 Section 11.7 Amendments. Subject to the terms of Sections 11.8 and 11.10 hereof,
this Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an agreement in writing signed by each of the Parties. 
 Section 11.8
Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any attempt to assign any rights or obligations arising under this
Agreement without such consent shall be void; provided that either Party may assign this Agreement to a purchaser (by merger, sale of assets or otherwise) of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of such Party so long as such
purchaser expressly assumes, in a written instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to the non-assigning Party, the due and punctual performance or observance of every agreement and covenant of this Agreement on the part of the assigning Party to
be performed or observed. Any arrangement in violation of the provisions of this Section 11.8 shall be void. 

Section 11.9 Successors and Assigns. The provisions to this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. 
 Section 11.10 Subsidiaries. Each of
the Parties shall cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth herein to be performed by any entity that is contemplated to be a Subsidiary of such Party after the Distribution
Date.

after the Distribution, the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any Loss, that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law
would be adequate is hereby waived, and that any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are hereby waived. 

Section 11.15 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The Parties shall endeavor in good faith
