(a) Common Areas and Team Areas. Subject to League Rules, on each Home Date, beginning at approximately the earlier of 10:00 a.m. or three (3) hours prior to the start of any Home Game, until two (2) hours after the completion of such Home Game, the Knicks shall have the exclusive right and license to use the Common Areas and the Team Areas for the purpose of playing of Home Games and conducting related activities, and the presentation thereof by any and all means, live and over radio and television and all other means of communication now existing and hereafter developed, and such other uses expressly permitted in this Agreement or as may be agreed to by the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing start time, Licensor may schedule Other Arena Events (as defined below) on Home Dates (each, a “Shared Date”) in accordance with Section 4.04(c); provided that in no event shall the Knicks have exclusive access to the Common Areas and Team Areas any later than approximately three (3) hours prior to the start of any Home Game (or as otherwise required by League Rules). Licensor shall reimburse the Knicks for any costs incurred by the Knicks solely as a result of a Home Game occurring on a Shared Date (e.g., visiting team relocating a shootaround). In addition, the Knicks shall have reasonable access, on a non-exclusive basis, to the Common Areas and the Team Areas for purposes related to the business or basketball operations of the Knicks at reasonable times on days that are not Home Dates and during periods on Home Dates other than those specified above (but in no case during ticketed Other Arena Events (as defined in Section 4.04(c) below)), provided the Knicks’ use of the Common Areas may not unreasonably interfere with any use by Licensor or authorized use by its other licensees (including the Rangers).

(b) Access. All rights and licenses set forth in this Section 4.02 include in favor of the Knicks and the Knicks’ Personnel and Guests (including holders of tickets of admission to the Arena, holders of press and media credentials, and visiting team personnel), subject to the Arena’s safety and security protocols as provided in Section 4.06(b), (i) rights and licenses of entry, ingress and egress over and across all applicable portions of the Arena, and (ii) the right and license to bring onto the Arena (and to permit the Knicks’ Personnel and Guests to bring into the Arena), and retain ownership and control of, items of personal property and equipment.

This Agreement is intended to, and shall be construed as, a grant of a license by Licensor to the Knicks and the Knicks’ Personnel and Guests, and shall not operate to vest in the Knicks any ownership or leasehold interest, or other real estate interest, in the Arena or the property of Licensor, whether real or personal, tangible or intangible, or any use or possessory rights other than those rights expressly granted by the license hereunder (and then subject to and in accordance with all of the provisions of this Agreement).

Section 4.03 Licensor’s Right of Entry. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.02, but subject to League Rules, Licensor and its agents and representatives shall have the right to enter into and upon any and all parts of the Arena, including the Team Areas and the Common Areas, as necessary for the purpose of carrying out its obligations under this Agreement, to operate the Arena, to perform necessary safety, security and maintenance activities and for other purposes that do not unreasonably interfere with the Knicks’ rights hereunder.

Section 4.04 Scheduling.

(a) Team Games. The scheduling procedure for Home Games shall continue in a manner consistent with past practice, subject to, and at all times in accordance with, League Rules (including, without limitation, with respect to playoff scheduling). It is understood between the Parties that Licensor is entering into a simultaneous license with New York Rangers, LLC (the “Rangers”), on behalf of the professional hockey team known as the New York Rangers, to host hockey games (“Rangers Games”) in the Arena. The Parties will continue to cooperate with each other in good faith recognizing that Licensor has obligations to the Rangers. Consistent with past practice, Licensor will jointly coordinate with the League and the National Hockey League in scheduling Home Games and Rangers Games. In addition, each Party shall (i) use reasonable efforts to avoid material business impacts on the other Party where such Party has the ability to do so and (ii) reasonably cooperate and honor requests for changes to previously scheduled or held dates. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any conflict between any of the foregoing and League Rules, League Rules shall control and govern.

(b) Other Knicks Events and Usage.

(i) Subject to the terms of this subsection, the Knicks shall be entitled to license the Arena without payment of an incremental license fee on up to two (2) occasions per Contract Year, to present certain Team-related events other than Home Games (e.g., open practices, try-outs; scrimmages; camps, clinics and youth academies; marketing, promotion or other related purposes; press gatherings; Knicks charity events (which may be ticketed); luncheons, meetings, parties ticket sales events, season subscriber events and similar functions as mutually agreed) (each, an “Other Knicks Event”). Dates

for Other Knicks Events may be reserved no earlier than sixty (60) in advance of the proposed event and such reservations shall be subject to any dates previously booked by Licensor for Other Arena Events.

(ii) The Knicks may use such Team Areas and Common Areas, and Licensor shall provide such Licensor Services (for which Game-Day Services the Knicks shall pay or reimburse Licensor as provided herein), as are reasonably requested by the Knicks for such Other Knicks Events. Other Knicks Events shall be subject to any other terms and conditions to be negotiated by the Parties. Unless the Parties agree otherwise with respect to a particular event, all terms of this Agreement applicable to Home Games will apply to Other Knicks Events.

(iii) At the Knicks’ request, Licensor may, in its discretion, license the Arena and/or other Licensor-owned venues (e.g., Beacon Theater, Radio City, Tao) to the Knicks to the extent available and without payment of an incremental license fee (the Knicks shall pay any expenses). Such events may be in addition to Other Knicks Events.

(c) Other Arena Events. Subject to Section 4.04(a), Licensor shall be entitled to schedule Rangers Games, other sporting events, concerts, and any other types of events in the Arena (each, an “Other Arena Event”), including, for the avoidance of doubt, on the same day as a Home Game; provided that: (i) no Other Arena Event shall relieve Licensor of its obligations hereunder, including to deliver the Common Areas and Team Areas to the Knicks in the condition required by ARTICLE IX by or before the times required in Section 4.02(a), (ii) no Other Arena Event shall be scheduled if it could reasonably be expected to materially interfere with the presentation, use or operation of the Arena for any previously scheduled Knicks Events (or the revenues derived by the Knicks therefrom) , and (iii) [*****].

Licensor shall reimburse the Knicks for the cost of such alterations to the extent necessary to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, provided that any such cost must be preapproved in writing by Licensor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. To the extent those alterations are not necessary for Licensor to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, those alterations shall be made at the Knicks’ sole cost and expense.

(ii) During the Term, the Knicks may also request that Licensor make alterations to the Team Areas or Common Areas. Licensor shall make those alterations to the extent necessary to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, at Licensor’s

sole cost and expense.

(b) Licensor Alterations.

(i) Licensor shall have the right to make alterations or other changes to the Arena, in its sole discretion and at its sole cost and expense; provided that Licensor shall be required to obtain the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Knicks to the extent that any such alterations or changes could reasonably be expected to impact the Knicks’ rights or obligations hereunder, or the presentation, set-up, use or operation of the Arena for any Knicks Event.

(ii) Without limiting ARTICLE IX, Licensor shall be responsible for making alterations, upgrades, modifications and improvements to the Arena (and the components thereof) at Licensor’s sole cost and expense (subject to Section 4.05(c)), as may be required from time to time in order to maintain the Arena in accordance with the Standard.

(d) The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to agree on the plans and specifications for alterations made under Sections 4.05(a) - (c) and the time period during which such alterations are expected to be made.

(iii) Custom Team and Non-Team Suite Packages. For customized Suite packages (i.e., a pre-determined mix of events that include Knicks Events and Other Arena Events), revenues shall be proportionally allocated to each event included in such package based on the then-applicable rate card for the included events. The Knicks shall receive all revenues collected or received by Licensor attributable to the Knicks Events included in such package, net of Included F&B Packages, contracted catering credits (if any), taxes and credit card fees, to the extent used during Knicks Events, less a Licensor commission of [*****]% of such net revenue as so allocated (provided that, in the event of a No Fault Occurrence, the Parties will agree on an appropriate reduction to such commission to account for any reduction in the additional amount that would have been payable to the Knicks under the last sentence of Section 5.03(b)(i) if all Suites were sold for all Arena events).

(iv) Suite Passes for Knicks Events. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all revenues from the sale or license of passes for incremental admission to Suites for Knicks Events (commonly known as “suite passes”), net of taxes and credit card fees, shall be

(c) Suite 16. The Knicks acknowledge that Suite 16 on the tenth floor of the Arena is currently licensed to the TAO Group, in which Licensor’s parent company has a majority ownership interest. The Knicks agree that notwithstanding Licensor’s ownership interest in the TAO Group, the Knicks’ share of the license revenue for this suite shall be calculated based on the fees paid or payable to Licensor by the TAO Group, and not with respect to any membership or other revenue or income generated by the TAO Group, provided that such fees are established and maintained on an arms-length basis (it being acknowledged that the fee payable by the TAO Group to Licensor for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2019 is arms-length for purposes of this Section 5.03(c)).

(d) The Madison Club and The Loft.

(i) Certain clients will pay Licensor membership fees that entitle them to access (a) the 170-seat defined hospitality and seating space on the west side of the Arena currently known as the “Madison Club” during all Home Games and all Rangers Games, boxing, tennis, and NCAA college basketball events at the Arena (the “Madison Club”); and/or (b) the 48-seat defined hospitality and seating space on the east side of the Arena currently known as “The Loft at Madison Square Garden” during all Arena events including Home Games (other than certain major Other Arena Events, including All-Star Games, awards shows, major college championship events, etc.) (“The Loft”). Licensor shall not sell more than 170 or 48 tickets of admission or memberships to the Madison Club or The Loft, respectively, for any Knicks Events without the prior written consent of the Knicks, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

etc.), other than labor related to Concessions that are sold, attributable to the Madison Club and The Loft for Home Games, in each case under (a) and (b), which costs shall be consistent for all events and on a basis as determined in consultation with the Knicks. Schedule 5.03(d) sets forth the staffing levels for the Madison Club and The Loft as of the 2019-20 Season (which takes into account the services provided for the Madison Club and The Loft as of the 2019-20 Season). For all Home Games and similar (based on factors including expected attendance) Other Arena Events, Licensor shall maintain substantially similar levels of service and staffing (as set forth on Schedule 5.03(d)), provided that the Parties shall regularly coordinate and discuss with one another the appropriate levels of service and staffing and accommodate the other’s reasonable requests for adjustment thereto. In the event of a No Fault Occurrence, the Knicks Hospitality Share shall be increased to [*****]%.

(i) To the extent that Licensor sells specialized packages that are different from those referenced in Sections 5.03(d)(i)-(ii) above, the parties shall coordinate and agree on appropriate pricing, revenue share and/or commissions.

For purposes of clarity, the Parties agree that the revenue sharing referred to in this Section 5.03 shall apply whether the license or sale is consummated by Licensor, Knicks or MSG Sports’ employees; provided that, if the license or sale is of Team-only or single game Suites (as described in Section 5.03(b)(ii)) or custom Team and non-Team Suite packages (as described in Section 5.03(b)(iii)) and is consummated by the Knicks or MSG Sports, Licensor’s commission on such license or sale shall be [*****]% of the applicable net revenue.

To the extent that Licensor receives value in kind as payment for the sale of licenses or memberships to the Suites, the Madison Club or The Lofts, Licensor shall pay to the Knicks an amount based on the rate card value of such license or membership (e.g., if Licensor receives value in kind as full payment for an all-Event Suite, Licensor shall pay the Knicks the Knicks Hospitality Share of the rate card value of such

Suite license). Licensor shall be responsible for the payment of all taxes and credit card fees with respect to all sales made by Licensor or its agents pursuant to this Agreement.

(ii) The Knicks may not license to third parties the Suite or associated tickets referred to in subsection (i), provided that it may request Licensor to attempt to license or sell such Suite or associated tickets for a particular Home Game or Home Games and/or Other Knicks Events. Any resulting revenue, net of Included F&B Packages, contracted catering credits (if any), taxes and credit card fees, will be shared by Licensor and the Knicks as if it were a single-game suite license pursuant to Section 5.03(b)(ii). Licensor may use or license such Suite or associated tickets for Other Arena Events without payment to the Knicks of the revenue share otherwise attributable to the license of Suites set forth in Section 5.03(b).

The Parties shall mutually determine how to allocate unsold suite inventory between the Parties, provided, that if the Parties cannot agree, [*****] of such inventory shall be available to the Knicks for such purposes and [*****] of such inventory shall be retained by Licensor for such purposes. In no event may the unused Suites or associated tickets related to Suites, Madison Club or Loft allocated under

this Section 5.03(g)(v) be licensed or sold by either Party, without the consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), in which case the Knicks shall receive their applicable revenue share as provided in Sections 5.03(b) or 5.03(d).

(b) Suite 200. Licensor shall maintain the executive lounge currently designated “Suite 200” (or a private hospitality area of substantially similar size offering substantially similar amenities, in the same or a different location in the Arena) for the use of senior executives and their invited guests (“Suite 200”).

CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION

Section 12.01 Termination or Restoration Due to Condemnation.

(a) In the event that title to all or substantially all of the Arena or the right of Licensor to occupy or possess all or substantially all of the Arena shall be taken by Condemnation (a “Total Taking”), Licensor shall provide prompt notice of such Total Taking to the Knicks, and, except in the case of a Temporary Taking, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force upon the earlier of (i) the date when the possession of all or such substantial portion of the Arena or right so taken shall be required for such use or purpose or (b) the effective date of the Total Taking.

(b) In the event of a Condemnation other than a Total Taking, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect; provided, however, that if any such Condemnation results

in an Untenantable Condition (including for this purpose a Temporary Taking that results in an Untenantable Condition for a period in excess of (i) [*****], or (ii) in the case of any such Temporary Taking that occurs during the last five (5) Contract Years of the Term, [*****]) then each Party shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement by notice to the other given within 30 days after the date of the Knicks’ receipt of the Estimate (as defined in Section 12.05(a)) with respect to such Condemnation, without any further liability hereunder, except for any liability hereunder which, by the specific terms of this Agreement survives termination; provided further, however, that neither Party shall have such termination right if (x) the then applicable legal requirements, zoning laws, building regulations and other governmental or quasi-governmental ordinances, rules or regulations (collectively, “Governmental Rules”) do not prohibit or materially restrict the performance of the Condemnation Restoration Work (as defined in Section 12.01(c)), (y) the Estimated Date (as defined in Section 12.05(a)) with respect to such Condemnation shall be a date that occurs on or before the date that is (i) [*****] after the date of such Condemnation, or (ii) in the case of any such Condemnation that occurs during the last five (5) Contract Years of the Term, [*****] after the date of such Condemnation and (z) the remaining portions of the Arena can be restored in a manner as shall satisfy the requirements of the definition of Condemnation Restoration Work. Further, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, if the Estimated Restoration Cost with respect to such Condemnation exceeds [*****]% of the full replacement value of the portions of the Arena that are not subject to such Condemnation, then Licensor shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement by notice to the Knicks given within 90 days after the date of the Knicks’ receipt of the Estimate with respect to such Condemnation, without any further liability hereunder, except for any liability hereunder which, by the specific terms of this Agreement survives termination. If either Party terminates this Agreement as provided in this Section 12.01(b), then such termination shall be effective on the date specified in such Party’s notice of termination, but no earlier than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice and no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such notice, as if said date were the date fixed for the expiration of the Term

(c) If neither party has the right to terminate this Agreement, or if neither party shall timely elect to terminate this Agreement, as provided in paragraph (b) above, Licensor shall, at its sole cost and expense, commence as soon as reasonably practicable and with reasonable diligence proceed to perform the work (the “Condemnation Restoration Work”) to and repair and restore the part of the Arena not taken to an architecturally complete unit and, to the extent commercially practicable, to substantially its former condition, as and to the extent necessary to remedy the Untenantable Condition, using materials, equipment and construction techniques which are common at the time of such Condemnation and with such changes as may be required by then applicable Governmental Rules or that Licensor may otherwise deem appropriate in each case, in a manner consistent with and as necessary to maintain the Standard; it being agreed, however, that Licensor shall be required to obtain the prior written consent of the Knicks to any changes that are not required by then applicable Governmental Rules and that could materially adversely impact the Knicks’ rights or obligations under this Agreement. Licensor shall (i) keep the Knicks reasonably apprised of the progress and the estimated date of completion of the Condemnation Restoration Work, and (ii) provide such information as may be reasonably requested by the Knicks from time to time with respect to the progress of such Condemnation Restoration Work. Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts (which shall not require Licensor to employ overtime labor or otherwise incur overtime charges) to substantially complete

such Condemnation Restoration Work as soon as commercially practicable, but in all events, on or before the Condemnation Outside Date (as defined in Section 12.01(d)) applicable to such Condemnation (it being agreed that the Knicks’ sole remedy on account of Licensor’s failure to substantially complete such Condemnation Restoration Work shall be the rights of the Knicks to terminate this Agreement as provided in paragraphs 12.01(d) and 12.05(b)(iv) below). The Condemnation Restoration Work shall not include the repair and restoration of any of the trade fixtures, personal property or equipment of the Knicks (all of which the Knicks shall repair and restore at its sole cost and expense).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Knicks shall have the right to terminate this Agreement (without any further liability hereunder, except for any liability hereunder which, by the specific terms of this Agreement survives termination) if the Condemnation Restoration Work required as a result of such Condemnation is not substantially completed by the Condemnation Outside Date applicable to such Condemnation (as such Condemnation Outside Date is postponed pursuant to the below provisions of this Section 12.01(d)), which right may be exercised by the Knicks upon written notice to Licensor given within thirty (30) days after such applicable Condemnation Outside Date but before the substantial completion of the Condemnation Restoration Work; provided, however, that if a Final Revised Estimated Date for such Condemnation shall have been determined pursuant to Section 12.05(b) below, then the Knicks shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.01(d) (without any further liability hereunder, except for any liability hereunder which, by the specific terms of this Agreement survives termination) only if the Condemnation Restoration Work is not substantially completed by the later to occur of the Condemnation Outside Date applicable to such Condemnation (as such Condemnation Outside Date is postponed pursuant to the below provisions of this Section 12.01(d)) and such Final Revised Estimated Date, which right may be exercised by the Knicks upon written notice to Licensor given within thirty (30) days after the later to occur of such Condemnation Outside Date and such Final Revised Estimated Date, but before the substantial completion of the Condemnation Restoration Work. If Licensor has not completed the Condemnation Restoration Work prior to the date that is [*****] after the giving of such notice by the Knicks (which date shall be postponed by one day for each day that Licensor is actually delayed in substantially completing the Condemnation Restoration Work by (i) any acts or omissions of the Knicks, the League or their respective agents, employees or contractors or (ii) any one or more events of Force Majeure (provided that the maximum period such date shall be postponed due to events of Force Majeure is an additional [*****])), then this Agreement shall be terminated automatically effective as of such date, without any further liability hereunder, except for any liability hereunder which, by the specific terms of this Agreement survives termination. For all purposes hereof, the “Condemnation Outside Date” applicable to any Condemnation shall be determined as follows:

(w) If the Estimate with respect to the Condemnation Restoration Work required as a result of such Condemnation provides for an Estimated Date that will occur on or prior to the [*****] after the date of such Condemnation, then the “Condemnation Outside Date” applicable to such Condemnation shall be the date that is [*****] following such Estimated Date; provided, however, that such date shall be postponed by one day for each day that Licensor is actually delayed in substantially completing the Condemnation Restoration Work by (i) any acts or omissions of the Knicks, the League or their respective agents, employees or contractors or (ii) any one or more events of Force Majeure (provided

that the maximum period such Condemnation Outside Date shall be postponed due to events of Force Majeure is an additional [*****]).

(x) If the Estimate with respect to the Condemnation Restoration Work required as a result of such Condemnation provides for an Estimated Date that will occur during the period commencing on the [*****] after the date of such Condemnation and ending on the [*****] after the date of such Condemnation, then the “Condemnation Outside Date” applicable to such Condemnation shall be the date that is [*****] following such Estimated Date; provided, however, that such date shall be postponed by one day for each day that Licensor is actually delayed in substantially completing the Condemnation Restoration Work by (i) any acts or omissions of the Knicks, the League or their respective agents, employees or contractors or (ii) any one or more events of Force Majeure (provided that the maximum period such Condemnation Outside Date shall be postponed due to events of Force Majeure is an additional [*****]).

(y) If the Estimate with respect to the Condemnation Restoration Work required as a result of such Condemnation provides for an Estimated Date that will occur during the period commencing on the [*****] after the date of such Condemnation and ending on the [*****] after the date of such Condemnation, then the “Condemnation Outside Date” applicable to such Condemnation shall be the date that is [*****] following such Estimated Date; provided, however, that such date shall be postponed by one day for each day that Licensor is actually delayed in substantially completing the Condemnation Restoration Work by (i) any acts or omissions of the Knicks, the League or their respective agents, employees or contractors or (ii) any one or more events of Force Majeure (provided that the maximum period such Condemnation Outside Date shall be postponed due to events of Force Majeure is an additional [*****]).

(z) If the Estimate with respect to the Condemnation Restoration Work required as a result of such Condemnation provides for an Estimated Date that will occur on or after the [*****] following the date of such Condemnation, then the “Condemnation Outside Date” applicable to such Condemnation shall be the date that is [*****] following such Estimated Date; provided, however, that such date shall be postponed by one day for each day that Licensor is actually delayed in substantially completing the Condemnation Restoration Work by (i) any acts or omissions of the Knicks, the League or their respective agents, employees or contractors or (ii) any one or more events of Force Majeure (provided that the maximum period such Condemnation Outside Date shall be postponed due to events of Force Majeure is an additional [*****]).

Section 12.02 Termination or Restoration Due to Casualty.

(a) If all or any material portion of the Arena is damaged or destroyed by Casualty such that an Untenantable Condition exists (each, a “Total Casualty”), and the Estimate with respect to such Casualty delivered pursuant to Section 12.05 below indicates that the Casualty Restoration Work (defined below) would not reasonably be expected to be substantially completed (i) within 24 months after the occurrence of such Casualty, or (ii) in the case of any Casualty that occurs during the last five (5) Contract Years of the Term, within 12 months after the occurrence of such Casualty, then the Knicks shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without any

further liability hereunder, except for any liability hereunder which, by the specific terms of this Agreement survives termination. If the Knicks wish to exercise such right of termination, it shall do so by notice to Licensor given not later than the date that is thirty (30) days after the date of the Estimate with respect to such Casualty under Section 12.05.

(b) In the event there shall occur a Total Casualty and (i) Licensor is prohibited or materially restricted by then applicable Governmental Rules from performing the Casualty Restoration Work, or (ii) the Estimate with respect to such Casualty indicates that the Casualty Restoration Work would not reasonably be expected to be substantially completed (x) within [*****] after the occurrence of such Casualty, or (y) in the case of any Casualty that occurs during the last five (5) Contract Years of the Term, within [*****] after the occurrence of such Casualty, or (iii) the Estimated Restoration Cost with respect to such Casualty exceeds [*****]% of the full replacement value of the Arena immediately prior to such Casualty, then, and in any of such events, Licensor shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement without any further liability hereunder, except for any liability hereunder which, by the specific terms of this Agreement survives termination. If Licensor wishes to exercise such right of termination, it shall do so by notice to the Knicks given not later than the date that is thirty (30) days after the date of the Estimate with respect to such Casualty under Section 12.05. If either Party terminates this Agreement as provided in this Section 12.02(b) or in Section 12.02(a) above, then such termination shall be effective on the date specified in such Party’s notice of termination, but no earlier than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice and no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such notice, as if said date were the date fixed for the expiration of the Term

(c) In the event of a Casualty with respect to which neither party has the right to terminate this Agreement, or neither party timely elects to terminate this Agreement, pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) above, Licensor shall, at its sole cost and expense, commence as soon as reasonably practicable and with reasonable diligence proceed to perform the work (the “Casualty Restoration Work”) to repair and restore the Arena to substantially its former condition, as and to the extent necessary to remedy the Untenantable Condition, using materials, equipment and construction techniques which are common at the time of such Casualty and with such changes as may be required by then applicable Governmental Rules or that Licensor may deem appropriate, in each case, in a manner consistent with and as necessary to maintain the Standard; it being agreed, however, that Licensor shall be required to obtain the prior written consent of the Knicks to any changes that are not required by then applicable Governmental Rules and that could materially adversely impact the Knicks’ rights or obligations under this Agreement. Licensor shall (i) keep the Knicks reasonably apprised of the progress and the estimated date of completion of the Casualty Restoration Work, and (ii) provide such information as may be reasonably requested by the Knicks from time to time with respect to the progress of the Casualty Restoration Work. Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts (which shall not require Licensor to employ overtime labor or otherwise incur overtime charges) to substantially complete such Casualty Restoration Work as soon as commercially practicable, but in all events, on or before the Casualty Outside Date (as defined in Section 12.02(d)) applicable to such Casualty (it being agreed that the Knicks’ sole remedy on account of Licensor’s failure to substantially complete such Casualty Restoration Work shall be the rights of the Knicks to terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 12.02(d) and 12.05(b)(iv) below). The Casualty Restoration Work shall not include the repair and restoration of any of the trade fixtures, personal property or equipment of the Knicks (all of which the Knicks shall repair and restore at its sole cost and expense).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Knicks shall have the right to terminate this Agreement (without any further liability hereunder, except for any liability hereunder which, by the specific terms of this Agreement survives termination) if the Casualty Restoration Work required as a result of such Casualty shall not be substantially completed by the Casualty Outside Date applicable to such Casualty (as such Casualty Outside Date is postponed pursuant to the below provisions of this Section 12.02(d)), which right may be exercised by the Knicks upon written notice to Licensor given within thirty (30) days after such applicable Casualty Outside Date but before the substantial completion of the Casualty Restoration Work; provided, however, that if a Final Revised Estimated Date for such Casualty shall have been determined pursuant to Section 12.05(b) below, then the Knicks shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.02(d) (without any further liability hereunder, except for any liability hereunder which, by the specific terms of this Agreement survives termination) only if the Casualty Restoration Work is not substantially completed by the later to occur of the Casualty Outside Date applicable to such Casualty (as such Casualty Outside Date is postponed pursuant to the below provisions of this Section 12.02(d)) and such Final Revised Estimated Date for such Casualty, which right may be exercised by the Knicks upon written notice to Licensor given within thirty (30) days after the later to occur of such Casualty Outside Date and such Final Revised Estimated Date but before the substantial completion of the Casualty Restoration Work. If Licensor has not completed the Casualty Restoration Work prior to the date that is [*****] after the giving of such notice by the Knicks (which date shall be postponed by one day for each day that Licensor is actually delayed in substantially completing the Casualty Restoration Work by (i) any acts or omissions of the Knicks, the League or their respective agents, employees or contractors or (ii) any one or more events of Force Majeure (provided that the maximum period such date shall be postponed due to events of Force Majeure is an additional [*****])), then this Agreement shall be terminated automatically effective as of such date, without any further liability hereunder, except for any liability hereunder which, by the specific terms of this Agreement survives termination. For all purposes hereof, the “Casualty Outside Date” applicable to any Casualty shall be determined as follows:

(w) If the Estimate with respect to the Casualty Restoration Work required as a result of such Casualty provides for an Estimated Date that will occur on or prior to the [*****] after the date of such Casualty, then the “Casualty Outside Date” applicable to such Casualty shall be the date that is [*****] following such Estimated Date; provided, however, that such date shall be postponed by one day for each day that Licensor is actually delayed in substantially completing the Casualty Restoration Work by (i) any acts or omissions of the Knicks, the League or their respective agents, employees or contractors or (ii) any one or more events of Force Majeure (provided that the maximum period such Casualty Outside Date shall be postponed due to events of Force Majeure is an additional [*****]).

(x) If the Estimate with respect to the Casualty Restoration Work required as a result of such Casualty provides for an Estimated Date that will occur during the period commencing on the [*****] after the date of such Casualty and ending on the [*****] after the date of such Casualty, then the “Casualty Outside Date” applicable to such Casualty shall be the date that is [*****] following such Estimated Date; provided, however, that such date shall be

postponed by one day for each day that Licensor is actually delayed in substantially completing the Casualty Restoration Work by (i) any acts or omissions of the Knicks, the League or their respective agents, employees or contractors or (ii) any one or more events of Force Majeure (provided that the maximum period such Casualty Outside Date shall be postponed due to events of Force Majeure is an additional [*****]).

(y) If the Estimate with respect to the Casualty Restoration Work required as a result of such Casualty provides for an Estimated Date that will occur during the period commencing on the [*****] after the date of such Casualty and ending on the [*****] after the date of such Casualty, then the “Casualty Outside Date” applicable to such Casualty shall be the date that is [*****] following such Estimated Date; provided, however, that such date shall be postponed by one day for each day that Licensor is actually delayed in substantially completing the Casualty Restoration Work by (i) any acts or omissions of the Knicks, the League or their respective agents, employees or contractors or (ii) any one or more events of Force Majeure (provided that the maximum period such Casualty Outside Date shall be postponed due to events of Force Majeure is an additional [*****]).

(z) If the Estimate with respect to the Casualty Restoration Work required as a result of such Casualty provides for an Estimated Date that will occur on or after the [*****] following the date of such Casualty, then the “Casualty Outside Date” applicable to such Casualty shall be the date that is [*****] following such Estimated Date; provided, however, that such date shall be postponed by one day for each day that Licensor is actually delayed in substantially completing the Casualty Restoration Work by (i) any acts or omissions of the Knicks, the League or their respective agents, employees or contractors or (ii) any one or more events of Force Majeure (provided that the maximum period such Casualty Outside Date shall be postponed due to events of Force Majeure is an additional [*****]).

Section 12.03 Condemnation Proceeding and Awards. Upon commencement of any Condemnation action or proceeding, Licensor and the Knicks shall cooperate with each other, and provide each other with such information and assistance, as each shall reasonably request in connection therewith. Licensor and the Knicks each shall have the right, at its own expense, to appear and to participate in any and all hearings, trials and appeals relating thereto even if this Agreement has been terminated. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 12.03, in any Condemnation (x) the Knicks shall have the right to assert a claim against the condemning authority for, and receive from the condemning authority, all Condemnation Awards for, (i) any damage to the Knicks’ business or any loss in value of any of the rights granted to the Knicks under this Agreement (if applicable, as if this Agreement had not been terminated), (ii) the value of any of the Knicks’ personal property (tangible or intangible) taken or damaged as result of the Condemnation, (iii) any relocation costs of the Knicks’ business, and (iv) any other damages to which the Knicks may be entitled under any applicable law, ordinance, order or regulation, and (y) Licensor shall have the right to assert a claim against the condemning authority for, and receive from the condemning authority, all Condemnation Awards for, (i) the loss in value of its ownership

of and rights in and to the Arena and its other property (tangible and intangible), (ii) any damage to, or relocation costs of, Licensor’s business, and (iii) any other damages to which Licensor may be entitled under any applicable law, ordinance, order or regulation. The Parties shall request that all Condemnation Awards be specifically allocated by the applicable condemning authority (it being agreed that Licensor may direct that any such awards allocated to Licensor be paid to any Superior Interest Holder designated by Licensor for such purpose). If any Condemnation Award is not specifically allocated between the Parties by the applicable condemning authority, the Condemnation Award shall be equitably allocated and distributed to Licensor and the Knicks in such manner as the Parties shall mutually agree.

Section 12.04 Temporary Taking. If the whole or any part of the Arena or the right of Licensor to occupy or possess the whole or any part of the Arena shall be taken in any Condemnation for a temporary use or occupancy not to exceed an aggregate of [*****], or in the case of any such Condemnation that occurs during the last five (5) Contract Years of the Term, [*****] (a “Temporary Taking”), the Term shall not be reduced, extended or affected in any way, and neither Licensor nor the Knicks shall be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement, except that (a) the Knicks shall have the right to make a claim against the condemning authority for, and receive from the condemning authority and retain, an award of any damages sustained by the Knicks as a result of such Temporary Taking, and (b) the Knicks’ obligation to pay the License Fee shall be abated during periods that the Arena is unavailable to the Knicks for the playing of Home Games in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 12.05 Inability to Timely Restore; Estimate of Time and Cost to Restore.

(a) The determination of the estimated time and costs that are reasonably expected to be necessary to perform and substantially complete any Condemnation Restoration Work or any Casualty Restoration Work shall be made by an independent architect or construction manager that is experienced in arena construction projects, well-regarded in the industry and selected by Licensor and reasonably approved by the Knicks. In the event of any Condemnation or Casualty resulting in an Untenantable Condition, Licensor shall furnish to the Knicks an estimate (the “Estimate”), prepared and certified by such independent architect or construction manager (the “Estimator”) of (i) the estimated date (the “Estimated Date”) by which the Condemnation Restoration Work or Casualty Restoration Work, as the case may be, will be substantially completed and (ii) the estimated cost (the “Estimated Restoration Cost”) to perform the Condemnation Restoration Work or Casualty Restoration Work, as the case may be. Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such independent architect or construction manager to make its determination as soon as reasonably practicable (and, in the case of a Casualty, no later than [*****] after the date of such Casualty) and will deliver the Estimate to the Knicks promptly upon Licensor’s receipt thereof.

(b) (i) If, during the performance of the Condemnation Restoration Work or the Casualty Restoration Work required as a result of any Condemnation or Casualty, the Knicks reasonably believe that the substantial completion of such Condemnation Restoration Work or such Casualty Restoration Work, as the case may be, will not, absent extraordinary efforts that Licensor does not agree (if not already obligated to take pursuant to this Agreement), be achieved by the applicable Condemnation Outside Date or applicable Casualty Outside Date therefor (as such Condemnation Outside Date or such Casualty Outside Date may have theretofore been

postponed pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.01(d) or Section 12.02(d) above, respectively), then the Knicks, by notice given to Licensor and the Estimator, shall have the right (not to be exercised more than once in any six (6) month period) with respect to such Condemnation or such Casualty to request that the Estimator determine the estimated date (the “Revised Estimated Date”) by which such Condemnation Restoration Work or such Casualty Restoration Work, as the case may be, is then reasonably expected to be substantially completed.

(ii) If the Knicks give such notice pursuant to Section 12.05(b)(i) above, then Licensor, within ten (10) business days after its receipt of such notice, shall have the right to submit to the Knicks and to the Estimator a notice that (x) sets forth any information that Licensor reasonably believes is relevant to the determination of the Revised Estimated Date and/or (y) indicates the measures that Licensor intends and agrees to implement in an effort to cause the substantial completion of such Condemnation Restoration Work or such Casualty Restoration Work, as the case may be, to be achieved by the applicable Condemnation Outside Date or the applicable Casualty Outside Date (as such Condemnation Outside Date or such Casualty Outside Date may have theretofore been postponed pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.01(d) or Section 12.02(d) above, respectively). Within ten (10) business days after the Knicks’ receipt of Licensor’s notice (or, if Licensor does not give such notice, within twenty (20) business days after Licensor’s receipt of the Knicks notice given pursuant to Section 12.05(b)(i) above), the Knicks shall have the right to submit to Licensor and the Estimator a notice that sets forth any information that the Knicks reasonably believes is relevant to the determination of the Revised Estimated Date. In determining the Revised Estimated Date, the Estimator shall take into consideration all information and measures set forth in any notices provided by the Parties pursuant to the two immediately preceding sentences, as well as all other relevant factors. Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Estimator to make its determination of the Revised Estimated Date as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of the Knicks’ notice given pursuant to Section 12.05(b)(i) above and the notices which each Party is entitled to deliver pursuant to this Section 12.05(b)(ii), and Licensor shall deliver such determination of the Revised Estimated Date to the Knicks promptly upon Licensor’s receipt thereof.

(iii) Each Party shall have the option (the “Review Option”), exercised by notice given to the other within ten (10) business days after Licensor delivers to the Knicks the Estimator’s determination of the Revised Estimated Date, to require that the Estimator’s determination of the Revised Estimated Date be reviewed by another independent architect or construction manager that is experienced in arena construction projects, well-regarded in the industry and mutually selected by the Parties (the “Second Estimator”). If the Parties are unable to mutually select the Second Estimator within ten (10) business days after the giving of a notice exercising the Review Option, then either Licensor or the Knicks, by giving ten (10) days’ notice to the other, shall have the right to request that the presiding judge of the lowest level court of general jurisdiction for the district in which the Arena is located select the Second Estimator. Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Second Estimator, as soon as reasonably practicable after the selection thereof, to (x) review the Estimator’s determination of the Revised Estimated Date, (y) make its own determination of the Revised Estimated Date (which determination shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.05 (b)(ii) above) and (z) deliver to Licensor written notice indicating whether the Second Estimator agrees with the determination of the Estimator and, if not, setting forth the Second Estimator’s determination of the Revised Estimated Date. For all purposes of this Agreement, the “Final Revised Estimated

Date” shall mean either (a) the Revised Estimated Date determined by the Estimator, if neither Party timely exercises the Review Option or if a Party exercises the Review Option and the Second Estimator agrees with the Estimator’s determination of the Revised Estimated Date; or (b) the Revised Estimated Date determined by the Second Estimator, if a Party exercises the Review Option and the Second Estimator disagrees with the Estimator’s determination of the Revised Estimated Date and therefore issues its own determination of the Revised Estimated Date. Licensor shall deliver the Second Estimator’s written notice to the Knicks promptly upon Licensor’s receipt thereof. The fees and expenses of the Estimator and the Second Estimator for the exercise set forth in this Section 12.05(b)(iii) and in Section 12.05(b)(ii) above shall be borne equally by Licensor and the Knicks.

(iv) If the Final Revised Estimated Date with respect to any Condemnation or Casualty is later than the date that is 365 days after the applicable Condemnation Outside Date or applicable Casualty Outside Date therefor (each of which, for purposes of this paragraph (iv), shall be deemed to be such applicable Condemnation Outside Date or such applicable Casualty Outside as postponed by the maximum number of days by which same may be postponed due to events of Force Majeure pursuant to Section 12.01(d) or Section 12.02(d) above, respectively), then the Knicks shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without any further liability hereunder, except for any liability hereunder which, by the specific terms of this Agreement survives termination. If the Knicks wish to exercise such right of termination, then it shall do so by notice to Licensor given not later than the date that is sixty (60) days after the date on which the Final Revised Estimated Date is determined (it being agreed that the Final Revised Estimated Date shall be deemed determined either as of the date on which the Parties’ right to exercise the Review Option shall have lapsed or, if a Party timely exercises the Review Option, as of the date on which the Second Estimator’s notice of determination is given to the Knicks). If the Knicks terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 12.05(b)(iv), then such termination shall be effective on the date specified in the Knick’s notice of termination, but no earlier than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice and no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such notice, as if said date were the date fixed for the expiration of the Term.

Section 12.06 Replacement Arena; Rent Abatement. In the event of the occurrence of a Condemnation or Casualty that results in an Untenantable Condition but does not result in termination of this Agreement, the Knicks, during the continuance of such Untenantable Condition, shall have the right to use an alternate site for Knicks Events while the Arena is being restored, provided such use fully complies with the requirements of Paragraph 6 of the Property Tax Exemption Agreement, and the Knicks’ obligation to pay the License Fee shall be abated during such periods in accordance with Section 20.01.

Section 12.07 Intention of the Parties. The provisions of this Article XII shall be deemed an express agreement governing any case of the Arena or any portion thereof becoming untenantable or unfit for occupancy, and Section 227 of the Real Property Law of the State of New York, providing for such contingency in the absence of an express agreement, and any other legal requirements of like import, now or hereafter in force, shall have no application in such case and are expressly waived by the Parties.

Section 20.06 Governing Law; Disputes.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to its choice of law provisions.

(b) Any disputes arising under this Agreement, shall be submitted to, and resolved exclusively and finally through, the following arbitration process (“Arbitration”). Except as set forth below, the Arbitration process shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at the time the Dispute or Controversy is submitted to the AAA for Arbitration. The panel (the “Arbitration Panel”) will consist of three (3) neutral arbitrators (each, an “Arbitrator”) selected in accordance with applicable AAA procedures. In proposing a list of candidates for Arbitrators, AAA will take into account the Parties’ desire to obtain potential Arbitrators with significant experience in the operation of comparable sports or entertainment facilities or in the entertainment and sports business generally, or with specific experience regarding the nature of the dispute. Barring extraordinary circumstances, an initial conference with the Arbitration Panel shall be scheduled to take place in New York, New York within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the third Arbitrator. At such conference, a schedule shall be established for such discovery, if any, as a majority of the Arbitration Panel deems appropriate in light of the nature of the dispute and the Parties’ desire to resolve disputes in a prompt and cost-effective manner, and the date of the Arbitration hearing shall be established by vote of a majority of the Arbitration Panel. Barring extraordinary circumstances, the award will be rendered no later than fourteen (14) days from the date of the conclusion of the hearing. Unless the Parties otherwise agree, the Arbitration shall take place in New York, New York. Each Party irrevocably consents to the delivery of service of process with respect to any Arbitration in any manner permitted for the giving of notices under Section 20.04. The Arbitration Panel shall not have the authority to alter, change, amend, modify, waive, add to or delete from any provision of this Agreement. If the Parties initiate multiple arbitration proceedings, the subject matters of which are related by common questions of law or fact and that could result in conflicting awards or obligations, such proceedings shall be consolidated into a single arbitral proceeding. Notwithstanding anything contained in the AAA rules to the contrary, subject to Article XIII, unless the Arbitration Panel finds that one or more claims or defenses were frivolous or knowingly false when made, each Party shall bear the cost of its own legal representation and expert witness fees, as well as its share of the fees and costs payable to the AAA and the Arbitrators, in any Arbitration under this Agreement. If the Arbitration Panel finds that one or more claims or defenses were frivolous or knowingly false when made, the Arbitration Panel shall be entitled to require the Party that made such frivolous or knowingly false claims or defenses to bear all or a portion of the other Party’s legal fees and expert witness fees incurred in connection with such frivolous claims or defenses. All provisions of this Agreement applicable to disputes generally shall apply to the Arbitration. All decisions by the Arbitration Panel shall be (i) decided by majority vote and (ii) final and binding on the Parties and may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief (but not a declaratory judgment) from a court of law, as described in Section 20.06(d), with respect to any dispute.

Section 20.11 Superior Interests

(a) Each mortgagee or similar party named in any mortgage or similar instrument now existing or hereafter made and encumbering an interest in the Arena superior to that of Licensor (each such mortgage and similar instrument being hereinafter collectively referred to as “Superior Interests”, and the holder of the mortgagee’s and similar party’s interest being hereinafter collectively referred to as “Superior Interest Holders”) shall agree in a commercially reasonable form of instrument that, if it succeeds to the interest of Licensor in the Arena by termination of the Superior Interest by any means, it will recognize the rights and interest of the Knicks under this Agreement to use and occupy the Arena if and as long as a Knicks Default has not occurred and is continuing (which agreement may, at such Superior Interest Holder’s option require attornment by the Knicks), in consideration of which the rights and interests of the Knicks to use and occupy the Arena shall be subject and subordinate to the Superior Interest and to any and all advances to be made therein, and to the interest thereon, and all renewals, replacements and extensions thereof. The Superior Interest Holder may elect that, instead of making this Agreement subject and subordinate to its Superior Interest, the rights and interest of the Knicks under this Agreement shall have priority over the lien of the Superior Interest in question. The Knicks agree that it will, within ten (10) days after demand in writing, execute and deliver such reasonable instruments may be required, either to make this Agreement subject and subordinate to such a Superior Interest (subject to the Superior Interest Holder’s agreement as aforesaid to recognize the rights and interest of the Knicks under this Agreement to use and occupy the Arena if and as long as a Knicks Default has not occurred and is continuing), or to give this Agreement priority over the lien of such Superior Interest, whichever alternative may be elected by the respective Superior Interest Holder.

Section 20.13 Waiver. No waiver of any right, obligation or default shall be implied, but must be in writing, signed by the Party against whom the waiver is sought to be enforced. Any particular waiver of any right, obligation or default shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent or other right, obligation or default.

Section 20.14 Further Assurances. Licensor and the Knicks shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver, after the date hereof, without additional consideration, such further assurances, instruments, and documents, and shall take such further actions, as Licensor or the Knicks shall reasonably request of the other in order to fulfill the intent of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Section 20.15 No Third-Party Beneficiary; Enforcement of Third-Party Agreements.

Licensor and the Knicks shall each keep full, true, and correct contracts, books and records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (and shall require all of their agents, contractors, and concessionaires to keep such books and records of their transactions to the extent that such transactions would be the subject of the calculation of any payments due from one Party to the other under this Agreement) setting forth the factual, accounting, and legal bases upon which the calculation of payments herein are made (the “Books and Records”), and in such detail that would reasonably enable a reasonably qualified third party to readily and independently make such calculations and verify the accuracy of statements of same which are furnished by one Party to the other under this Agreement. Each Party’s books and records shall be (a) retained for at least three (3) years following the other Party’s receipt of the respective statement(s) to which they apply, and (b) made available for inspections and copying by the other Party’s duly authorized representatives at all reasonable times at reasonable office locations in the New York, NY metropolitan area. Each Party shall promptly furnish to the other a complete copy of any report of any such examination or inspection.

Section 20.17 Audit Rights. Each Party (the “Auditing Party”) shall be entitled to audit the relevant Books and Records of the other Party (the “Non-Auditing Party”) for the sole purpose, and only to the extent, of determining the Non-Auditing Party’s compliance with the financial terms of this Agreement. Such audit right shall be exercisable by the Auditing Party by

providing the Non-Auditing Party with not less than five (5) business days written notice. Except as otherwise set forth below, all costs and expenses of any such audit shall be paid by the Auditing Party. If the audit discloses that the Non-Auditing Party has failed to pay any amounts due under this Agreement, the Non-Auditing Party shall remit the underpayment to the Auditing Party within thirty (30) days following the Auditing Party’s delivery of notice and evidence of underpayment to the Non- Auditing Party. If the audit reveals an underpayment to the Auditing Party of greater than 5%, then the Non- Auditing Party shall pay all costs and expenses associated with such audit, provided that the auditor is an independent certified public accounting firm paid on an hourly (and not contingency) basis.

Section 20.18 Access to Financial Information. Licensor acknowledges that existing League Rules on financial reporting under the League’s collective bargaining agreements and revenue sharing plans requires the Team, annually and from time to time, to provide the League and auditors for the League and its players’ association detailed financial information, including information that is in the possession of Licensor. Licensor agrees to provide the information requested by the League and/or the auditors for these purposes and to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the staff and other support necessary to comply with these requests and the related process.
