Dear [Participant Name]:

Pursuant to The Madison Square Garden Company 2010 Employee Stock Plan, on [        ] (the “Grant Date”), you were granted restricted stock units, each of which represents an unfunded, unsecured promise by The Madison Square Garden Company (to be renamed MSG Networks Inc.) (“MSG”) to deliver to you one share of MSG Class A Common Stock. In conjunction with the spin-off of MSG Spinco, Inc. (to be renamed The Madison Square Garden Company) (the “Company”) from MSG on [                    ] (the “Distribution Date”), and pursuant to the Company’s 2015 Employee Stock Plan (the “Plan”), you are receiving the award described in this Restricted Stock Units Agreement (the “Agreement”) of [        ] restricted stock units (the “Units”), each of which represents an unfunded, unsecured promise by the Company to deliver to you one share of MSG Spinco, Inc. Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (“Share”).

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the meanings given to them in the Plan. The Units are subject to the terms and conditions set forth below:

1. Awards. Each Unit shall represent an unfunded, unsecured promise by the Company to deliver to you one Share on the Delivery Date. In accordance with Section 10(b) of the Plan, in the discretion of the Committee, in lieu of all or any portion of the Shares otherwise deliverable in respect of your Units, the Company may deliver a cash amount equal to the number of such Shares multiplied by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date when Shares would otherwise have been issued, as determined by the Committee.

2. Vesting. Subject to Sections 3 and 4, none of your Units will vest and you will forfeit all of them if you do not remain continuously employed with the MSG Spinco, Inc. Group or the MSG Group (each as defined below) from the Grant Date through the third anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Vesting Date”) [; provided that the Performance Criteria set forth in Annex 2 attached hereto have been satisfied as of the Vesting Date, as determined by the Committee.]¹

For purposes of this Agreement, the “MSG Group” means The Madison Square Garden Company (to be renamed MSG Networks Inc.) and any of its subsidiaries. The “MSG Spinco, Inc. Group” means MSG Spinco, Inc. (to be renamed The Madison Square Garden Company) and any of its subsidiaries.

For purposes of this Agreement, if you are employed by the MSG Group, your “Employer” means The Madison Square Garden Company; if you are employed by the MSG Spinco, Inc. Group, your “Employer” means MSG Spinco, Inc.; and if you are employed by both the MSG Group and the MSG Spinco, Inc. Group, your “Employer” shall mean The Madison Square Garden Company.

¹  To be included for proxy reported officers.

3. Vesting in the Event of Death and Other Circumstances. If your employment is terminated as a result of your death, all of the Units will vest as of the termination date. If your employment is terminated for other reasons, the Committee may, in its sole discretion determine to vest all or a portion of the Units (but shall be under no obligation to consider doing so).

4. Change of Control/Going Private Transaction. As set forth in Annex 1 attached hereto, your entitlement to the Units may be affected in the event of a MSG Change of Control or going-private transaction or a MSG Spinco, Inc. Change of Control or going private transaction (each as defined in Annex 1 attached hereto).

5. Transfer Restrictions. You may not transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber the Units, other than to the extent provided in the Plan.

6. Right to Vote and Receive Dividends. You shall not be deemed to be the holder of, or have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to any Units unless and until the Company shall have issued and delivered Shares to you and your name shall have been entered as a stockholder of record on the books of the Company. Pursuant to Section 10(c) of the Plan, all ordinary (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) cash dividends that would have been paid upon any Shares underlying your Units had such Shares been issued will be retained by the Company for your account until your Units vest and such dividends will be paid to you (without interest) on the Delivery Date to the extent that your Units vest.

7. Tax Representations and Tax Withholding. You hereby acknowledge that you have reviewed with your own tax advisors the federal, state and local tax consequences of receiving the Units. You hereby represent to the MSG Spinco, Inc. Group and the MSG Group that you are relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company, its Affiliates or any of their respective agents. If, in connection with the Units, your Employer is required to withhold any amounts by reason of any federal, state or local tax, such withholding shall be effected in accordance with Section 16 of the Plan.

8. Section 409A. It is the Company’s intent that payments under this Agreement shall comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”) to the extent applicable, and that the Agreement be administered accordingly. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any employment agreement you have entered into with the Company, to the extent that any payment or benefit under this Agreement is determined by your Employer to constitute “non-qualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A and is payable to you by reason of termination of your employment, then (a) such payment or benefit shall be made or provided to you only upon a “separation from service” as defined for purposes of Section 409A under applicable regulations and (b) if you are a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A and as determined by your Employer), such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided before the date that is six months after the date of your separation from service (or your earlier death). Each payment under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment under Section 409A.

9. Delivery. Subject to Sections 7, 10 and 13 and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Shares will be delivered in respect of vested Units (if any) on the first to occur of the following events (i) to you on or promptly after the Vesting Date

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, delivery of the Shares at the Delivery Date will be by book-entry credit to an account in your name that the Company has established at a custody agent (the “custodian”). The Company’s transfer agent, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. shall act as the custodian of the Shares; however, the Company may in its sole discretion appoint another custodian to replace Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. On the Delivery Date, if you have complied with your obligations under this Agreement and provided that your tax obligations with respect to the vested Units are appropriately satisfied, we will instruct the custodian to electronically transfer your Shares to a brokerage or other account on your behalf (or make such other arrangements for the delivery of the Shares to you as we reasonably determine).

10. Right of Offset. You hereby agree that the Company shall have the right to offset against its obligation to deliver shares of Class A Common Stock, cash or other property under this Agreement to the extent that it does not constitute “non-qualified deferred compensation” pursuant to Section 409A, any outstanding amounts of whatever nature that you then owe to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

11. The Committee. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Committee” means the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company or any replacement committee established under, and as more fully defined in, the Plan.

12. Committee Discretion. The Committee has full discretion with respect to any actions to be taken or determinations to be made in connection with this Agreement, and its determinations shall be final, binding and conclusive.

No consent shall be required for amendments made pursuant to Section 12 of the Plan, except that, for purposes of Section 19 of the Plan, Section 4 and Annex 1 of this Agreement are deemed to be “terms of an Award Agreement expressly refer[ring] to an Adjustment Event.” Any amendment of this Agreement shall be in writing and signed by an authorized member of the Committee or a person or persons designated by the Committee.

14. Units Subject to the Plan. The Units covered by this Agreement are subject to the Plan.

Group or the MSG Group in effect as of the date of the grant hereof (as such employment agreement may be modified, renewed or replaced), this Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding and agreement of you and the Company with respect to the Units covered hereby and supersede all prior understandings and agreements.
