For purposes of clarification and the avoidance of doubt, (x) the Liabilities assumed or retained by the MSGS Group as provided for in this Section 2.1(a) are intended to be MSGS Liabilities as such term is defined in the Distribution Agreement, and (y) the Parties intend that such Liabilities assumed or retained by the MSGS Group include the retirement benefits and health and welfare plan benefits under the MSGS Plans for all MSGS Employees, Former MSGS Employees, their dependents, beneficiaries, alternate payees and surviving spouses.

(b) Post-Distribution Service Crediting for the MSGS Retained Retirement Plans and Spinco Retained Retirement Plans. Each of MSGS and Spinco (acting directly or through their respective Subsidiaries) shall cause each of the MSGS Retained Retirement Plans and the Spinco Retained Retirement Plans, respectively, to provide the following service crediting rules effective as of the Distribution Date:

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for the period commencing on the Distribution Date until the Service Crediting Date, the MSGS Retained Retirement Plans and the Spinco Retained Retirement Plans (other than the Cash Balance Pension Plan) shall provide that no break in service occurs with respect to any MSGS Employee or Spinco Employee who is hired or rehired by any member of the Spinco Group or the MSGS Group after the termination of such MSGS Employee’s or Spinco Employee’s employment with either the MSGS Group or the Spinco Group within such period.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the employment service with the MSGS Group or the Spinco Group shall not be double counted or result in duplicative benefits or service crediting under any MSGS Retained Retirement Plan or Spinco Retained Retirement Plan.

This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person or persons (including any employee or former employee of MSGS or Spinco or either of their respective Subsidiaries or any beneficiary or dependent thereof) any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. No provision in this Agreement shall modify or amend any other agreement, plan, program, or document unless this Agreement explicitly states that the provision “amends” that other agreement, plan, program, or document. This shall not prevent the Parties entitled to enforce this Agreement from enforcing any provision in this Agreement, but no other person shall be entitled to enforce any provision in this Agreement on the grounds that it is an amendment to another agreement, plan, program, or document unless the provision is explicitly designated as such in this Agreement, and the person is otherwise entitled to enforce the other agreement, plan, program, or document. If a person not entitled to enforce this Agreement brings a lawsuit or other action to enforce any provision in this Agreement as an amendment to another agreement, plan, program, or document, and that provision is construed to be such an amendment despite not being explicitly designated as one in this Agreement, that provision in this Agreement shall be void ab initio, thereby precluding it from having any amendatory effect. Furthermore, nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer upon any employee or former employee of MSGS, Spinco or either of their respective Subsidiaries any right to continued employment, or any recall or similar rights to an individual on layoff or any type of approved leave.

Section 10.4 Consent of Third Parties. If any provision of this Agreement is dependent on the consent of any third party and such consent is withheld, the Parties hereto shall use their reasonable best efforts to implement the applicable provisions of this Agreement to the fullest extent practicable. If any provision of this Agreement cannot be implemented due to the failure of such third party to consent, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to implement the provision in a mutually satisfactory manner.

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

Section 10.6 Beneficiary Designation/Release of Information/Right to Reimbursement. To the extent permitted by applicable Law and except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, all beneficiary designations, authorizations for the release of information and rights to reimbursement made by or relating to Spinco Participants under MSGS Plans shall be transferred to and be in full force and effect under the corresponding Spinco Plans until such beneficiary designations, authorizations or rights are replaced or revoked by, or no longer apply to, the relevant Spinco Participant.

Section 10.7 Not a Change in Control. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the transactions contemplated by the Distribution Agreement and this Agreement do not constitute a “change in control” for purposes of any MSGS Plan or Spinco Plan.
