     Section 4.3. Invoices. (a) Cablevision will invoice MSG in U.S. dollars: (i) as of the last day of each calendar month for any fees payable by MSG in accordance with Section 4.1(a) for Cablevision Services listed on Schedule A provided pursuant to the terms of this Agreement during such month; (ii) as of the last day of each calendar month for any amounts payable by MSG in accordance with Section 4.2(a) (and enclosing invoices from the relevant Third Parties); and (iii) as of the last day of each calendar month for any taxes (excluding income taxes) accrued with respect to the provision of Cablevision Services to MSG during such month.

MSG shall pay each such invoice received by electronic funds transfer as follows: in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), within twenty (20) Business Days of the date on which such invoice was received, and in the case of clause (iii), not later than one (1) Business Day prior to the due date for such tax payments; provided that Cablevision delivers such invoice not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the due date for such tax payments.

     (b) MSG will invoice Cablevision in U.S. dollars: (i) as of the last day of each calendar month for any fees payable by Cablevision in accordance with Section 4.1(b) for MSG Services listed on Schedule B provided pursuant to the terms of this Agreement during such month; (ii) as of the last day of each calendar month for any amounts payable by Cablevision in accordance with Section 4.2(b) (and enclosing invoices from such Third Parties); and (iii) as of the last day of each calendar month for any taxes (excluding income taxes) accrued with respect to the provision of MSG Services to Cablevision during such month.

Each party agrees to pay the other party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in collection of any amounts owed to such other party hereunder and not paid when due. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event either party fails to make a payment of any undisputed amount when due hereunder, and such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days following delivery of notice to such non-paying party of such failure, the other party shall have the right to cease provision of such Services to such non-paying party until such overdue payment (and any applicable late payment fee accrued with respect thereto) is paid in full. Such right of the party providing services shall not in any manner limit or prejudice any of such party’s other rights or remedies in the event of the non-paying party’s failure to make payments when due hereunder, including without limitation any rights or remedies pursuant to Sections 6, 8 and 10.

ARTICLE V
INSURANCE MATTERS

     Section 5.1. Disclaimer. MSG does hereby, for itself and each of its subsidiaries, agree that Cablevision and its subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers and employees shall not have any liability whatsoever as a result of the insurance policies and practices of Cablevision and its affiliates as in effect at any time prior to the Distribution, including as a result of the level or scope of any such insurance, the creditworthiness of any insurance carrier, the selection, identity or performance of any third party administrator, the terms and conditions of any policy, the adequacy or timeliness of any notice to any insurance carrier with respect to any claim or potential claim or otherwise.

     Section 5.2. Insurance Transition. Cablevision agrees to use its best reasonable efforts to cause the interest and rights of MSG and each of its subsidiaries as of the date of the Distribution as insureds, additional named insureds or beneficiaries or in any other capacity under occurrence-based insurance policies and programs (and under claims-made policies and programs to the extent a claim has been submitted prior to the Distribution or later if so permitted by the terms of the applicable insurance policy and assuming that such policy is then in effect) of Cablevision in respect of periods prior to the date of the Distribution to survive the Distribution for the period for which such interests and rights would have survived without regard to the transactions contemplated hereby to the extent permitted by such policies. In accordance with this Agreement, Cablevision shall transition the administration of such insurance policies and programs to MSG and MSG shall pay the costs and fees of Cablevision during such transition as provided in Article IV and Schedule A. Any proceeds received by Cablevision or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates after the date of the Distribution under such policies and programs in respect of MSG shall be for the benefit of MSG.

     Section 5.3. Claims Made Policies. Cablevision agrees that if it obtains or maintains any insurance coverage after the date of the Distribution for matters occurring prior to that time (e.g., a claims made directors and officers insurance policy) it will also obtain or maintain such coverage for MSG and its subsidiaries, subject to MSG’s payment of the fees and costs in connection therewith as provided in this Agreement.

     Section 5.4. Audits and Adjustments. MSG agrees that it will reimburse Cablevision under this Agreement for any additional premiums or other amounts owing to any third party as a result of any audit or similar procedure by a third party, to the extent that such additional premiums or amounts owing relate to MSG or any of its subsidiaries during the period MSG or such subsidiaries were covered by the relevant insurance policy.

     Section 5.5. No Assignment or Waiver. This Agreement is not intended as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance or as a contract of insurance and shall not be construed to waive any right or remedy of Cablevision in respect of any insurance policy or any other contract or policy of insurance.

     Section 5.6. No Limitation on MSG Insurance. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict MSG from acquiring at its own expense any other insurance policy in respect of any liabilities or covering any period.

     Section 5.7. Scope. The provisions of this Article V shall not apply to insurance practices or policies relating to health and welfare plans or any other employee benefit arrangement.

ARTICLE VI
INDEMNIFICATION

     Section 6.1. Indemnification by Party Receiving Services. (a) MSG agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Cablevision harmless from and against any Loss to which Cablevision may become subject arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with the provision hereunder by Cablevision of Cablevision Services, other than Losses resulting from

Cablevision’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, MSG shall not be liable under this Section 6.1 for any consequential, special or punitive damages (including but not limited to lost profits), except to the extent that such consequential, special or punitive damages relate to a Loss resulting from a Third Party Claim (as defined below).

     (b) Cablevision agrees to indemnify, defend and hold MSG harmless from and against any Loss to which MSG may become subject arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with the provision hereunder by MSG of MSG Services, other than Losses resulting from MSG’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Cablevision shall not be liable under this Section 6.1 for any consequential, special or punitive damages (including but not limited to lost profits), except to the extent that such consequential, special or punitive damages relate to a Loss resulting from a Third Party Claim (as defined below).

     Section 6.2. Indemnification by Party Providing Services. (a) Cablevision agrees to indemnify, defend and hold MSG harmless from and against any Loss to which MSG may become subject arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with, the provision hereunder by Cablevision of Cablevision Services to MSG where such Losses resulted from Cablevision’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

     (b) MSG agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Cablevision harmless from and against any Loss to which Cablevision may become subject arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with the provision hereunder by MSG of MSG Services to Cablevision where such Losses resulted from MSG’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

     Section 6.3. Third Party Claims. (a) If a claim or demand is made against MSG or Cablevision (each, an “Indemnitee”) by any Third Party (a “Third Party Claim”) as to which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall notify the party which is or may be required pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 hereof to make such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third Party Claim promptly and in any event by the date (the “Outside Notice Date”) that is the 15th Business Day after receipt by such Indemnitee of written notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure (except that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any expenses incurred during the period beginning immediately after the Outside Notice Date and ending on the date that the Indemnitee gives the required notice). Thereafter, the Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days) after the Indemnitee’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim.

     (b) If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses and acknowledges

in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee therefor, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party, provided, however, that such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the Indemnitee. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall, within 30 days (or sooner if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires), notify the Indemnitee of its intent to do so, and the Indemnifying Party shall thereafter not be liable to the Indemnitee for legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ counsel to represent such Indemnitee if, in such Indemnitee’s reasonable judgment, a conflict of interest between such Indemnitee and such Indemnifying Party exists in respect of such claim which would make representation of both such parties by one counsel inappropriate, and in such event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by such Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, subject to the proviso of the preceding sentence, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnitee for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense thereof (other than during the period prior to the time the Indemnitee shall have given notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above). If the Indemnifying Party so elects to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, all of the Indemnitees shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense or prosecution thereof, including by providing or causing to be provided agreements, documents, books, records, files and witnesses as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving any request therefor from or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party, except to the extent that providing or causing the foregoing to be provided would constitute a waiver of any Indemnitee’s attorney-client privilege.

     (c) If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing responsibility under this Article VI for a Third Party Claim, then in no event will the Indemnitee admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall have the right to settle, compromise or discharge such Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party if the Indemnitee releases the Indemnifying Party from its indemnification obligation hereunder with respect to such Third Party Claim and such settlement, compromise or discharge would not otherwise adversely affect the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing liability for a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee will agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party may recommend and that by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third Party Claim and releases the Indemnitee completely in connection with such Third Party Claim and that would not otherwise adversely affect the Indemnitee. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election to do so as provided herein, such Indemnitee may compromise, settle or defend such Third Party Claim.

     (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim (and shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the Indemnitee in defending such Third Party Claim) if the

Third Party Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against the Indemnitee which the Indemnitee reasonably determines, after conferring with its counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages. If such equitable relief or other relief portion of the Third Party Claim can be so separated from that for money damages, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of the portion relating to money damages.

     (e) In the event and to the extent of payment by an Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right or claim relating to such Third-Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third-Party Claim. Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right or claim.

     (f) MSG and Cablevision shall cooperate as may reasonably be required in connection with the investigation, defense and settlement of any Third-Party Claim. In furtherance of this obligation, the parties agree that if an Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or to compromise or settle any Third-Party Claim, Cablevision or MSG, as the case may be, shall use its best reasonable efforts to make available to the other party, upon written request, their former and then current directors, officers, employees and agents and those of their subsidiaries as witnesses and any records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that (i) any such Person, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with such defense, settlement or compromise and (ii) making such Person, records or other documents so available would not constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege of Cablevision or MSG, as the case may be.. At the request of an Indemnifying Party, an Indemnitee shall enter into a reasonably acceptable joint defense agreement.

     (g) The remedies provided in this Article VI shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party.

     Section 6.4. Indemnification Payments. (a) Indemnification required by this Article VI shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or any Loss is incurred. If the Indemnifying Party fails to make an indemnification payment required by this Article VI within 30 days after receipt of a ▇▇▇▇ therefore or notice that a Loss has been incurred, the Indemnifying Party shall also be required to pay interest on the amount of such indemnification payment, from the date of receipt of the ▇▇▇▇ or notice of the Loss to, but not including the date of payment, at the Applicable Rate.

     (b) The amount of any claim by an Indemnitee under this Agreement shall be reduced to reflect any actual tax savings or insurance proceeds received by any Indemnitee that result from the Losses that gave rise to such indemnity.

     Section 6.5. Survival. The parties’ obligations under this Article VI shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII
COOPERATION; CONFIDENTIALITY; TITLE

     Section 7.1. Good Faith Cooperation; Consents. Each party shall use best reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other party in all matters relating to the provision and receipt of the Services. Such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, exchanging information, providing electronic access to systems used in connection with the Services, performing true-ups and adjustments and obtaining all consents, licenses, sublicenses or approvals necessary to permit each party to perform its obligations hereunder. Cablevision and MSG shall maintain reasonable documentation related to the Services and cooperate with each other in making such information available as needed.

     Section 7.2. Confidentiality. Each party shall keep confidential the Schedules to this Agreement and all information received from the other party regarding the Services, including, without limitation, any information received with respect to products and services of Cablevision or MSG, and to use such information only for the purposes set forth in this Agreement unless (i) otherwise agreed to in writing by the party from which such information was received or (ii) required by applicable law or any securities exchange (in which case the parties shall cooperate in seeking to obtain a protective order or other arrangement pursuant to which the confidentiality of such information is preserved) . The covenants in this Article VII shall survive any termination of this Agreement for a period of three (3) years from the date such termination becomes effective.

     Section 7.3. Internal Use; Title, Copies, Return. Except to the extent inconsistent with the express terms of the Distribution Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement other than this Agreement, each party agrees that:

     (a) title to all systems used in performing any Service provided hereunder shall remain in the party providing such Service or its third party vendors; and

     (b) to the extent the provision of any Service involves intellectual property, including without limitation software programs or patented or copyrighted material, or material constituting trade secrets, the recipient of such Service shall not copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile or in any way alter any of such material, or otherwise use such material in a manner inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, without the express written consent of the party providing such Service; and upon the termination of any Service, the recipient of such Service shall return to the party providing such Service, as soon as practicable, any equipment or other property of the party providing such Service relating to such Service which is owned or leased by the party providing such Service and is or was in its possession or control.

(a) Except as provided in Sections 4.5, 6.5, 7.2, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5, the term of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue in full force and effect with respect to each Service until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the term set forth opposite the description of such Service in Schedule A or B, as applicable, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties and (ii) the termination of such Service in accordance with Section 4.4 or 8.1(b).

     (b) Each party acknowledges that the purpose of this Agreement is for Cablevision to provide the Cablevision Services to MSG on an interim basis until MSG can perform the Cablevision Services for itself, and for MSG to provide the MSG Services to Cablevision on an interim basis until Cablevision can perform the MSG Services for itself. Accordingly, each of Cablevision and MSG shall use its best reasonable efforts to make or obtain such approvals, permits and licenses and implement such systems, as shall be necessary for it to provide the appropriate services for itself as promptly as reasonably practicable. As MSG becomes self-sufficient or engages other sources to provide any Cablevision Service, MSG shall be entitled to release Cablevision from providing any or all of the Cablevision Services hereunder by delivering a written notice thereof to Cablevision at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the effective date of release of such Cablevision Service(s). At the end of such twenty (20) Business Day period (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the parties), Cablevision shall discontinue the provision of the Cablevision Services specified in such notice and any such Cablevision Services shall be excluded from this Agreement, and Schedule A shall be deemed to be amended accordingly. Cablevision shall also be entitled to release MSG from providing any or all of the MSG Services hereunder by delivering a written notice thereof to MSG at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the effective date of release of such MSG Service(s). At the end of such twenty (20) Business Day period (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the parties), MSG shall discontinue the provision of the MSG Services specified in such notice and any such MSG Services shall be excluded from this Agreement, and Schedule B shall be deemed to be amended accordingly.

     Section 8.2. Early Termination by Cablevision. Cablevision may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to MSG under the following circumstances:

     (a) if MSG shall default in the performance of any of its material obligations under this Agreement, and such default or breach shall continue and not be remedied for a period of thirty (30) days after Cablevision has given written notice to MSG specifying such default and requiring it to be remedied; or

     (b) if a Bankruptcy Event has occurred with respect to MSG.

     Section 8.3. Early Termination by MSG. MSG may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Cablevision under the following circumstances:

     (a) if Cablevision shall default in the performance of any of its material obligations under this Agreement and such default shall continue and not be remedied for a

period of thirty (30) days after MSG has given written notice to Cablevision specifying such default and requiring it to be remedied; or

     (b) if a Bankruptcy Event has occurred with respect to Cablevision.

     Section 8.4. Suspension Due to Force Majeure. In the event the performance by either MSG or Cablevision of its duties or obligations hereunder is interrupted or interfered with by reason of any cause beyond its reasonable control including, but not limited to, fire, storm, flood, earthquake, explosion, war, strike or labor disruption, rebellion, insurrection, quarantine, act of God, boycott, embargo, shortage or unavailability of supplies, riot, or governmental law, regulation or edict (collectively, “Force Majeure Events”), the party affected by such Force Majeure Event shall not be deemed to be in default of this Agreement by reason of its non-performance due to such Force Majeure Event, but shall give notice to the other party of the Force Majeure Event and the fee provided for in Section 4.1 shall be equitably adjusted to reflect the reduced performance. In such event, the party affected by such Force Majeure Event shall resume the performance of its duties and obligations hereunder as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of the Force Majeure Event.

     Section 8.5. Consequences of Termination. In the event this Agreement expires or is terminated in accordance with this Article VIII, then (a) all Services to be provided will promptly cease, (b) each of Cablevision and MSG shall, upon request of the other party, promptly return or destroy all confidential information received from the other party in connection with this Agreement (including the return of all information received with respect to the Services or products of Cablevision or MSG, as the case may be), without retaining a copy thereof (other than one copy for file purposes), and (c) each of Cablevision and MSG shall honor all credits and make any accrued and unpaid payment to the other party as required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and no rights already accrued hereunder shall be affected.

ARTICLE IX
