For purposes

-11-

Employee’s or MSG Employee’s employment with either the CVC Group or the MSG Group within such period.

In connection with any performance-based award granted in March 2007 (where the performance objective(s) relates to 2009 performance) or any annual bonus relating to 2009 performance, the “prompt” payment required under this Section 8.1(c) with respect to any employee that transfers after December 31, 2009 and before the payment of such awards, shall be the full actual amount of such calculated payment to such employees once determined (rather than the accrued amount at the date of transfer).

(d) Cooperation. In addition to any cooperation principles governed by Article X, CVC shall provide MSG with projections, on a quarterly basis, of long-term cash incentive payments that are expected to be payable for MSG Participants with respect to long-term cash incentive awards outstanding as of the Distribution Date.

Section 8.2 Individual Arrangements.

(a) CVC Individual Arrangements. CVC acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise provided herein, it shall have full responsibility with respect to any Liabilities and the payment or performance of any obligations arising out of or relating to any employment, consulting, non-competition, retention or other compensatory arrangement previously provided by any member of the CVC Group or MSG Group to any CVC Participant.

(b) MSG Individual Arrangements. MSG acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise provided herein, it shall have full responsibility with respect to any Liabilities and the payment or performance of any obligations arising out of or relating to any employment, consulting, non-competition, retention or other compensatory arrangement previously provided by any member of the CVC Group or MSG Group to any MSG Participant.

(c) Shared Executives. For purposes of this Agreement, for so long as any executive is employed by both CVC and MSG, such executive shall be considered to be a CVC Employee with respect to all amounts and awards outstanding as of the Distribution Date. MSG shall not be responsible for any costs associated with any annual or long-term cash or equity incentive award outstanding as of the Distribution Date with respect to any such 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 MSG Participant for purposes of any policy, plan, program or agreement of CVC or MSG or any member of the CVC Group or MSG Group that provides for the payment of

-25-

severance, separation pay, salary continuation or similar benefits in the event of a termination of employment.

Section 8.3 Non-Competition. For the purpose of any non-compete provision in any CVC Plan, MSG shall not be regarded as a “competitive entity.” For the purpose of any non-compete provision in any MSG Plan, CVC shall not be regarded as a “competitive entity.” This Section 8.3 shall apply only so long as CVC and MSG 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 CVC or MSG or any of their respective Affiliates 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, CVC or MSG may be obligated to bargain with the union representing affected employees concerning those subjects.

Section 8.5 Union Dues. MSG and its respective Affiliates shall retain responsibility for the payment of dues and fringe benefit payments on behalf of MSG Employees with respect to the unions set forth on Exhibit E.

Section 8.6 Director Programs. CVC shall retain responsibility for the payment of any fees and CVC RSUs payable in respect of service on the CVC Board of Directors that are payable but not yet paid as of the Distribution Date, and MSG shall have no responsibility for any such payments (to an individual who is a member of the MSG Board of Directors as of the Distribution Date or otherwise).

Section 8.7 Cable, Online and Voice Employee Benefits. In addition to CVC’s obligations under the Transition Services Agreement (as defined in the Distribution Agreement) with respect to MSG Employees regarding certain continued cable television, online and voice services and benefits, CVC shall continue to provide the employee product benefit to those Former MSG Employees receiving the employee product benefit as of the Distribution Date at the same level provided to such individuals as of such date, and MSG shall reimburse CVC for the actual cost, if any, incurred by CVC in continuing to provide those benefits to such Former MSG Employees.

Section 8.8 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.

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 9.1 Indemnification. All Liabilities retained or assumed by or allocated to CVC or the CVC Group pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be “Cablevision 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 MSG or the MSG Group pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be “MSG 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. CVC and MSG (acting directly or through their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates) 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 MSG in obtaining its own insurance policies to provide benefits under MSG 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 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 CVC Employee or MSG Employee or other future, present, or former employee of any member of the CVC Group or MSG Group under any CVC Plan or MSG 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 CVC or MSG or either of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates 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

-27-

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 CVC, MSG or either of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates 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, CVC and MSG shall, or shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates 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 CVC Group and any member of the MSG Group) to which any employee, director or Plan of the CVC Group or MSG Group is a party and which relates to their respective Plans prior to the Distribution Date.

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 MSG Participants under CVC Plans shall be transferred to and be in full force and effect under the corresponding MSG Plans until such beneficiary designations, authorizations or rights are replaced or revoked by, or no longer apply, to the relevant MSG 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 CVC Plan or MSG Plan.

ARTICLE XI

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 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.

The Parties agree that, from and 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 negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic

(i) Starting promptly after January 1, 2010, the pension actuary engaged by CVC to make the determinations provided for under this Exhibit A, who may be the CVC Actuary, shall determine the following:
