On April 20, 2023, Sphere Entertainment Co., which was formerly known as Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. (“Sphere Entertainment”), completed a spin-off of the Issuer, by distributing approximately 67% of the Common Stock of the Issuer to Sphere Entertainment’s stockholders (the “Distribution”). In connection with the Distribution (i) holders of record of Sphere Entertainment Class A common stock as of the close of business, New York City time, on April 14, 2023 (the “record date”), received one share of Issuer Class A Common Stock for every one share of Sphere Entertainment Class A common stock held, (ii) holders of record of Sphere Entertainment Class B common stock as of the record date received one share of Issuer Class B Common Stock for every one share of Sphere Entertainment Class B common stock held, (iii) holders of Sphere Entertainment director restricted stock units received one share of Issuer Class A Common Stock in respect of every one Sphere Entertainment director restricted stock unit owned on the record date, (iv) each Sphere Entertainment option became two options: one an option to acquire Sphere Entertainment Class A common stock and one an option to acquire Issuer Class A Common Stock and (v) holders of Sphere Entertainment employee restricted stock units received one Issuer restricted stock unit in respect of every one Sphere Entertainment employee restricted stock unit owned on the record date.

As a result of the Distribution, on April 20, 2023, the Group Members acquired and may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 8,489,777 shares of Class A Common Stock arising from their beneficial ownership of (i) 1,623,023 shares of Class A Common Stock (inclusive of exercisable options), and (ii) 6,866,754 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock. This aggregate amount represents approximately 16.2% of the total shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock currently outstanding. Group Members in the aggregate may be deemed to have the current shared power to vote or direct the vote of and to dispose of or direct the disposition of 6,866,754 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock (representing all outstanding Class B Common Stock) because of the terms of the Class B Stockholders’ Agreement (as defined below). Also as a result of the Distribution, Reporting Persons and individuals who are not Group Members but are trustees of trusts that are Group Members acquired and may be deemed to beneficially own an additional 78,434 shares of Class A Common Stock. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities held by the other Reporting Persons, and this report shall not be deemed to be an admission that any such person is the beneficial owner of such securities. The percentages used herein with respect to the Class A Common Stock are calculated based on 44,900,926 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately following the Distribution.

Immediately following the Distribution, Sphere Entertainment retained approximately 33% of the outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock in the form of Class A Common Stock. Sphere Entertainment did not retain any of the Issuer Class B Common Stock following the Distribution. The Group Members’ ownership of Sphere Entertainment’s common stock did not change as a result of the Distribution, which, as of April 20, 2023, consisted of approximately 5.5% of Sphere Entertainment’s outstanding Class A common stock (inclusive of exercisable options) and 100% of Sphere Entertainment’s outstanding Class B common stock, based on 27,687,166 shares of Sphere Entertainment Class A common stock and 6,866,754 shares of Sphere Entertainment Class B common stock outstanding as of January 31, 2023, as reported by Sphere Entertainment in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2022.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

THE CLASS B STOCKHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT

The Group Members have executed a Class B Stockholders Agreement (the “Class B Stockholders’ Agreement”), which is filed as Exhibit 1 to this Schedule 13D. As a result of this agreement and action taken by the Issuer’s board of directors, the Issuer qualifies as a “controlled company” under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange.

Voting. Under the Class B Stockholders’ Agreement, the Group Members have agreed to vote as a group with respect to any matter on which any shares of Class B Common Stock are entitled to vote. Decisions on how the Group Members will vote with respect to their shares of Class B Common Stock will be made in accordance with the determination of the Dolan Family Committee. The Dolan Family Committee consists of Charles F. Dolan and his six children, James L. Dolan, Thomas C. Dolan, Patrick F. Dolan, Kathleen M. Dolan, Deborah A. Dolan-Sweeney and Marianne Dolan Weber or their designees (collectively, the “Dolan Siblings”). Each Dolan Sibling, other than Patrick F. Dolan, is entitled to one vote on all matters to be voted on by the Dolan Family Committee (such Dolan Siblings, the “Voting Siblings”), except that James L. Dolan is entitled to two votes on all matters voted on by the Dolan Family Committee. The Dolan Family Committee generally acts by vote of a majority of the Voting Siblings, except that approval of a going-private transaction must be approved by a two-thirds vote of the Voting Siblings and approval of a change in control transaction must be approved by all but one vote of the Voting Siblings. The decisions of the Dolan Family Committee will be non-binding with respect to certain Class B Shareholders that are trusts (the “Excluded Trusts”). The Excluded Trusts will vote their shares of Class B Common Stock at the direction of Excluded Trusts holding a majority of the shares of Class B Common Stock held by all of the Excluded Trusts, except that Excluded Trusts holding two-thirds of the Class B Common Stock owned by Excluded Trusts will be required for a vote in favor of any transaction that would result in a change in control of the Issuer or a going-private transaction with respect to the Issuer.

Transfers. Without the approval of the Dolan Family Committee, acting by a two-thirds vote, a Class B Stockholder may not transfer shares of Class B Common Stock other than to Group Members and related persons (each such party, a “Permitted Holder”), unless such shares are first converted into shares of Class A Common Stock. In addition, no Class B Stockholders will be permitted to sell their shares of Class B Common Stock other than to a Permitted Holder, if such sale would result in a change in control of the Issuer, unless such sale is approved by all but one vote of the Voting Siblings. The foregoing requirements and the other transfer restrictions in the Class B Stockholders’ Agreement do not apply to Charles F. Dolan or Helen A. Dolan or any trust of which either of them is a trustee to the extent approved by Charles F. Dolan and at least two Voting Siblings.

 

36


Market Sale. Subject to the other transfer provisions, the parties to the Class B Stockholders’ Agreement will have a right of first offer and a tag-along right with respect to any proposed sale of shares of Class B Common Stock (after conversion to shares of Class A Common Stock) in an open market sale (a “Market Sale”).

Right of First Refusal. Subject to the other transfer provisions, the parties to the Class B Stockholders’ Agreement will have a right of first refusal with respect to any proposed sale of shares of Class B Common Stock, other than to a Permitted Holder or in a Market Sale, in a private transaction.

Tag-Along Rights. Subject to the other transfer provisions, the parties to the Class B Stockholders’ Agreement will have a tag-along right with respect to any proposed sale of shares of Class B Common Stock, other than to a Permitted Holder or in a Market Sale, if such sale would result in a change in control of the Issuer.

Drag-Along Rights. If, after complying with the other transfer provisions, one or more Class B Stockholders propose to sell all of their shares of Class B Common Stock, other than to a Permitted Holder or in a Market Sale, and such sale would result in a change in control of the Issuer, such Class B Stockholders will have the right to require the other Class B Stockholders to sell all of their shares of Class B Common Stock in the same transaction.

The Class B Stockholders’ Agreement also contains certain agreements among the Group Members related to the pledge of shares of Class B Common Stock, the exercise of registration rights and other matters.

The foregoing summary of the Class B Stockholders’ Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Class B Stockholders’ Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENTS

All Group Members that hold shares of Class B Common Stock other than the Dolan Children Trusts (the “Dolan Affiliates”) have entered into a registration rights agreement with the Issuer, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2 (the “Dolan Affiliates Agreement”), and the Dolan Children Trusts have entered into a registration rights agreement with the Issuer, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3 (the “Dolan Children Trusts Agreement” and, together with the Dolan Affiliates Agreement, the “Registration Rights Agreements”).

Under the Registration Rights Agreements, the Dolan Family Holders (as defined in the Dolan Affiliates Agreement) and the Children Trust Holders (as defined in the Dolan Children Trusts Agreement) are entitled, subject to certain conditions, to require the Issuer to register the sale of some or all of their shares of Class A Common Stock (including those issued upon conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock) on up to four occasions in the aggregate and are also entitled to sell such shares as part of certain registered offerings by the Issuer, subject to certain conditions.

In the Dolan Children Trusts Agreement, each Dolan Children Trust has agreed that in the case of any sale or disposition of its shares of Class B Common Stock (other than to Charles F. Dolan or other Dolan family interests) by such Dolan Children Trust, or of any of the shares of Class B Common Stock owned by the Dolan Children Trusts by any other Dolan family interest to which such shares of Class B Common Stock are transferred, such shares will be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock. This conversion obligation does not apply to any other shares of Class B Common Stock, and the Dolan Affiliates Agreement does not include any conversion obligation.

The foregoing summary of the Registration Rights Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registration Rights Agreements, which are incorporated herein by reference.

STANDSTILL AGREEMENT

The Group Members and certain trusts for the benefit of members of the Dolan Family (the “Standstill Parties”) have entered into a Standstill Agreement with the Issuer, which is filed as Exhibit 4 to this Schedule 13D, in which they have agreed that, during the 12-month period following the Distribution, they must obtain the approval of a majority of the Issuer’s independent directors prior to acquiring common stock of the Issuer through a tender offer that results in the Standstill Parties owning more than 50% of the total number of outstanding shares of common stock of the Issuer.

EXHIBIT A

Kathleen M. Dolan is a co-Trustee of each of the Charles F. Dolan Children Trust FBO James L. Dolan (with Paul J. Dolan as co-Trustee), the Charles F. Dolan Children Trust FBO Thomas C. Dolan (with Matthew J. Dolan as co-Trustee), the Charles F. Dolan Children Trust FBO Kathleen M. Dolan (with Paul J. Dolan as co-Trustee), the Charles F. Dolan Children Trust FBO Marianne Dolan Weber (with Matthew J. Dolan as co-Trustee) and the Charles F. Dolan Children Trust FBO Deborah Dolan-Sweeney (with Mary S. Dolan as co-Trustee) (hereinafter referred to, collectively, as the “Dolan Children Trusts”, and individually, as a “Dolan Children Trust”).

The following table lists each Dolan Children Trust’s name and the name of its beneficiary (each a “Current Beneficiary”).

 

Name of Trust   

Current Beneficiary

Charles F. Dolan Children Trust FBO James L. Dolan    James L. Dolan
Charles F. Dolan Children Trust FBO Thomas C. Dolan    Thomas C. Dolan
Charles F. Dolan Children Trust FBO Kathleen M. Dolan    Kathleen M. Dolan
Charles F. Dolan Children Trust FBO Marianne Dolan Weber    Marianne Dolan Weber
Charles F. Dolan Children Trust FBO Deborah Dolan-Sweeney    Deborah A. Dolan-Sweeney

For each Dolan Children Trust other than the Dolan Children Trust for the benefit of Kathleen M. Dolan, distributions of income and principal can be made in the discretion of the Trustees to the Current Beneficiary. For the Dolan Children Trust for the benefit of Kathleen M. Dolan, distributions of income and principal can be made in the discretion of the non-beneficiary Trustee to the Current Beneficiary. The Current Beneficiary of each Dolan Children Trust has the power to appoint additional or successor Trustees, including himself or herself, and to remove Trustees with respect to his or her trust. In the event that a Current Beneficiary becomes a Trustee of his or her trust, distributions of income and principal to the Current Beneficiary will be made in the discretion of the non-beneficiary Trustee. For each Dolan Children Trust, the Current Beneficiary has the power during his or her life to appoint all or part of the assets of his or her trust to or for the benefit of one or more of his or her descendants. Any unappointed portion of such trust will pass, in further trust, per stirpes to the Current Beneficiary’s then living descendants, or if none, per stirpes to the then living descendants of Charles F. Dolan, or if none, among the heirs-at-law of Charles F. Dolan.

The Current Beneficiary of any Dolan Children Trust can be said to have only a contingent economic interest in the securities of the Issuer held by such Dolan Children Trust because the non-beneficiary Trustee thereof has the sole discretion to distribute or accumulate the income from each Dolan Children Trust and the sole discretion to distribute the principal of each Dolan Children Trust to the Current Beneficiary of such Dolan Children Trust.

Kathleen M. Dolan is the sole Trustee of the Ryan Dolan 1989 Trust and the Tara Dolan 1989 Trust (together, the “CFD 1989 Grandchildren Trusts” and individually, a “CFD 1989 Grandchild Trust”). All of the net income of the relevant CFD 1989 Grandchild Trust is distributed to the respective beneficiary. In addition, during the continuance of the relevant CFD 1989 Grandchild Trust, the Trustee in the Trustee’s discretion may distribute the principal of the relevant CFD 1989 Grandchild Trust to or for the benefit of the respective beneficiary. Upon the respective beneficiary attaining age 40, the relevant CFD 1989 Grandchild Trust for the respective beneficiary terminates and is to be distributed to such beneficiary. If the respective beneficiary dies before attaining age 40, such beneficiary has a testamentary general power of appointment over the relevant CFD 1989 Grandchild Trust. In default of the exercise of such power of appointment, the relevant CFD 1989 Grandchild Trust will be distributed to the respective beneficiary’s then-living issue, per stirpes, or if none, to Charles F. Dolan’s then-living grandchildren, in equal shares, or if none, to Charles F. Dolan’s then-living issue, per stirpes.

Each of Mary S. Dolan and Corby Dolan Leinauer (each, a “2009 Family Trustee” and together, the “2009 Family Trustees”) is currently a trustee of the Charles F. Dolan 2009 Family Trusts (the “2009 Family Trusts”). The property held in the 2009 Family Trusts is held in separate trusts, such that there is one trust in respect of each living child of Charles F. Dolan. The beneficiaries of each trust are the child for whom the trust was set apart and his or her


descendants (each, a “Beneficiary”). As a 2009 Family Trustee, Mary S. Dolan has the shared power to vote and dispose of all shares held by the 2009 Family Trusts. Corby Dolan Leinauer, as a 2009 Family Trustee, shares the power to vote and dispose of all shares held by the 2009 Family Trusts. During the life of each child of Charles F. Dolan, distributions of income and principal of his or her trust can be made in the discretion of Mary S. Dolan and Corby Dolan Leinauer, as 2009 Family Trustees, among the Beneficiaries of each such trust. After the death or incompetence of both Charles F. Dolan and Helen A. Dolan, each child of Charles F. Dolan will have the power to appoint additional or successor Trustees, including himself or herself, and to remove Trustees with respect to his or her 2009 Family Trust. In the event that a Beneficiary becomes a Trustee of his or her 2009 Family Trust, distributions of income and principal from such 2009 Family Trust will be made in the discretion of the non-beneficiary Trustee. Charles F. Dolan has the right to substitute assets with each of the 2009 Family Trusts, subject to the 2009 Family Trustees’ reasonable satisfaction that the substitute assets received by the trust are of equal value to the trust property exchanged therefor. Each child of Charles F. Dolan has a testamentary power of appointment over the 2009 Family Trust for his or her benefit, except that any shares of Class B Common Stock can only be appointed in further trust for the benefit of any one or more of the descendants of Charles F. Dolan upon substantially the same terms as the 2009 Family Trusts. Upon the death of a child of Charles F. Dolan, the 2009 Family Trustees will distribute any remaining unappointed trust principal of such trust in continuing trust for such child’s then living descendants, per stirpes. If there are no such living descendants, then the 2009 Family Trustees will distribute any remaining trust principal to the other 2009 Family Trusts for the benefit of the then living descendants of Charles F. Dolan. If there are no such living descendants, the trust principal will be distributed to the Dolan Family Foundation or any successor thereto or, if it is not then in existence, then to a charitable organization.

Each Beneficiary has a right of withdrawal with respect to certain contributions made to his or her respective trust that constitute a gift within the meaning of Chapter 12 of the Internal Revenue Code, and that do not exceed the gift tax exclusion found in Section 2503(b) of the Code. If the right of withdrawal is not exercised, such right lapses with respect to all or a certain portion of such gift on each of the following dates: (i) 30 days following Charles F. Dolan’s death, (ii) the last day of the calendar year in which such gift is made (or 60 days following the gift, if later), and (iii) the first day of the subsequent calendar year. The portion of the right of withdrawal that lapses on each such date is the greater of $5,000 and five percent of the value of the trust principal. A donor may deny any Beneficiary the right of withdrawal with respect to a gift. To the extent of this right of withdrawal, each Beneficiary of such trust may be said to have a direct economic interest in trust assets, including securities of the Issuer held by the 2009 Family Trusts.

Except to the extent of the right of withdrawal, each Beneficiary of the 2009 Family Trusts has only a contingent economic interest in the securities of the Issuer held by the 2009 Family Trusts because Mary S. Dolan and Corby Dolan Leinauer, as 2009 Family Trustees thereof, have the sole discretion to distribute or accumulate the income and the sole discretion to distribute the principal of the 2009 Family Trusts to each Beneficiary.

The following table lists each 2009 Family Trust’s name and the names of its beneficiaries (each a “Current Beneficiary”).

Dolan and his spouse are current beneficiaries of the trust. All actions by the CFD 2009 Trust, including acquisitions and dispositions of Issuer securities, voting of Issuer securities and distributions of Issuer securities, require the consent of each co-Trustee. Distributions of income and principal (including distributions of Issuer securities), and investments, can be made in the discretion of the trustees subject, in the case of certain distributions and investments that exceed specified dollar amounts, to the consent of one or more of the settlor’s children.


The settlor may amend and revoke the trust at any time with the consent of the co-Trustee and, in the case of certain amendments, a majority of the settlor’s children who do not have a personal interest in such amendment. A Trustee may be removed by a majority of the settlor’s children.

Helen A. Dolan is the settlor and a co-Trustee and Brian G. Sweeney is a co-Trustee of The Helen A. Dolan 2009 Revocable Trust (the “HAD 2009 Trust”). Helen A. Dolan and her spouse are current beneficiaries of the trust. All actions by the HAD 2009 Trust, including acquisitions and dispositions of Issuer securities, voting of Issuer securities and distributions of Issuer securities, require the consent of each co-Trustee. Distributions of income and principal (including distributions of Issuer securities), and investments, can be made in the discretion of the trustees subject, in the case of certain distributions and investments that exceed specified dollar amounts, to the consent of one or more of the settlor’s children.

The settlor may amend and revoke the trust at any time with the consent of the co-Trustee and, in the case of certain amendments, a majority of the settlor’s children who do not have a personal interest in such amendment. A Trustee may be removed by a majority of the settlor’s children.

CLASS B STOCKHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT

Class B Stockholders’ Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Agreement”), dated as of March 31, 2023, by and among each of the signatories hereto and each Person who becomes a party to this Agreement in accordance with Section 13.5 hereof.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, each of the Class B Stockholders listed on Schedule A hereto is, as of March 31, 2023, the record owner of Shares, in the amounts set forth next to such stockholder’s name on such schedule;

WHEREAS, the Shares owned by most of the individual Class B Stockholders represent only a small portion of the voting power of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of MSGE Spinco, Inc. (to be renamed Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp.), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), but, collectively, the Shares owned by all the Class B Stockholders represent a significant portion of such voting power;

WHEREAS, each of the Class B Stockholders, each of the trustees (each individually, a “Trustee” and collectively, the “Trustees”) of the Class B Stockholders which are trusts (each such trust, a “Class B Trust” and collectively, the “Class B Trusts”) and each of the Members (as defined in Section 2.1) believes that it is in the best long-term interests of the Class B Stockholders and the beneficiaries of the Class B Trusts to consolidate and unify the voting, management and control power represented by the Shares, to qualify the Company as a “controlled company” under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and to ensure the continued control of the Company by the family of Charles F. Dolan;

WHEREAS, each of the agreements establishing the respective Class B Trusts provides, in part, that the Trustee or Trustees of each of such Class B Trusts may enter into this Agreement on behalf of such Class B Trusts, and each such Trustee has been duly authorized, on behalf of such Class B Trusts, to enter into, execute and deliver this Agreement and perform all of the obligations contained herein, including, without limitation, those provisions with respect to the voting and transfer of Shares;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), on March 29, 2023, approved the Agreement and the entering into the Agreement by each of the Class B Stockholders listed on Schedule A hereto;

WHEREAS, certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 14.

 

1


NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual promises and agreements contained herein, the Class B Stockholders and the Members agree as follows:

Section 1. Voting Arrangements.

1.1. On any matter on which any Shares are entitled to vote, each Class B Stockholder shall vote all of the respective Shares over which such Class B Stockholder has voting control and shall take all other necessary or desirable actions within such respective Class B Stockholder’s control (including in his or her capacity as a stockholder, trustee or otherwise, and including, without limitation, attendance at meetings in person or by proxy for purposes of obtaining a quorum and/or execution of written consents in lieu of meetings) to vote all such Shares that may be voted on such matter as follows:

(a) in accordance with the determination of the Dolan Family Committee, acting by Majority Vote, except in the case of (i) a vote on a Going-Private Transaction, in which case acting by a Two-Thirds Majority Vote (it being understood and agreed that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require any Class B Stockholder to participate, directly or indirectly, as a buyer in any Going-Private Transaction) and (ii) a vote on a transaction that would result in a Change in Control, in which case acting by a Supermajority Vote; provided that, with respect to any Excluded Trust, the decisions of the Dolan Family Committee will be deemed non-binding recommendations and nothing in this Section 1.1(a) shall require the Trustees of the Excluded Trusts to act in accordance with the determination of the Dolan Family Committee; and

(b) with respect to any Excluded Trusts, in accordance with the determination of Excluded Trusts holding a majority of the Shares held by all of the Excluded Trusts, except in the case of a vote on a Going-Private Transaction or a transaction that would result in a Change of Control, in which case in accordance with the determination of Excluded Trusts holding two-thirds of the Shares held by all of the Excluded Trusts, in each case that are voted at a meeting of the Excluded Trusts; provided that (i) at least a majority of the then outstanding Shares held by all of the Excluded Trusts is represented at such meeting (including by proxy), (ii) all Excluded Trusts have been duly notified, or have waived notice, of such meeting in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 4.2 (in analogous application thereof), (iii) such meeting may be attended telephonically or by other means by virtue of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other and (iv) notwithstanding the foregoing, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Excluded Trusts may be taken without a meeting if Excluded Trusts representing a majority or, in the case of a Going-Private Transaction or a transaction that would result in a Change of Control, two-thirds of the then outstanding Shares held by all of the Excluded Trusts consent thereto in writing.

 

2


1.2. In order to secure each Class B Stockholder’s obligation to vote its, his or her Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.1, each Class B Stockholder, other than any Excluded Trust, hereby appoints such person as shall be designated in connection with each vote pursuant to Section 1.1 by the Dolan Family Committee (such person, the “Applicable Proxy”), as its, his or her true and lawful proxy and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to vote all of such Class B Stockholder’s Shares as provided for in Section 1.1. The Applicable Proxy may exercise the irrevocable proxy granted to it hereunder at any time any Class B Stockholder fails to comply with the provisions of Section 1.1. The proxies and powers granted by each Class B Stockholder pursuant to this Section 1.2 are coupled with an interest and are given to secure the performance of the obligations under this Agreement. Such proxies and powers will be irrevocable until terminated as provided in this Section 1.2 or the termination of this Agreement and will survive the death, incompetency and disability of each such Class B Stockholder who is an individual and the existence of each such Class B Stockholder that is a trust or other entity. It is understood and agreed that the Applicable Proxy will not use such irrevocable proxy unless a Class B Stockholder fails to comply with Section 1.1 and that, to the extent the Applicable Proxy uses such irrevocable proxy, it will only vote such Shares with respect to the matters specified in, and in accordance with the provisions of, Section 1.1.

1.3. In the event any action is taken by written consent pursuant to Section 1.1(b), the other Class B Stockholders shall be promptly notified of such written consent and such written consent shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Class B Stockholders.

1.4. The Trustees of the Excluded Trusts will discuss their voting intentions with the Dolan Family Committee in advance of any vote by the Class B Stockholders.

Section 2. The Dolan Family Committee.

2.1. The Class B Stockholders hereby create a committee to exercise, to the extent and in the manner provided herein, certain voting, management and control powers over the Class B Common Stock (the “Dolan Family Committee”), which shall initially consist of seven members (each individually, a “Member”, and collectively, the “Members”).

2.2. The Class B Stockholders hereby designate Charles F. Dolan, Kathleen M. Dolan, Deborah A. Dolan-Sweeney, Marianne E. Dolan Weber, Patrick F. Dolan, Thomas C. Dolan and James L. Dolan as the initial Members, each of whom hereby accepts such designation and hereby agrees to act as a Member hereunder.

2.3. The Dolan Family Committee shall make all reasonable efforts to meet and discuss any matter to be voted on by the Class B Stockholders prior to the taking of such vote.

 

3


2.4. Each Member, other than Charles F. Dolan, shall have the power to designate, by an instrument in writing, a person or a series of persons to act as his or her successor or consecutive successors as a Member; provided that (a) no designation by any Member shall be inconsistent with designations made by a former Member who is a predecessor of such Member and (b) except with the prior consent of the Dolan Family Committee, acting by Majority Vote (excluding the vote of the Member wishing to make such designation), no person shall be designated as a successor Member unless such person is (i) the designating Member’s spouse, (ii) an Adult child of such designating Member, or (iii) in the case of a designation by a Member that will take effect upon such Member’s death or Permanent Incapacity, an Interim Member, but only if such designation of an Interim Member is conditioned on such Member not being survived by a spouse or Adult child. Once a child of a Member who appointed an Interim Member has become an Adult, such child shall have the right to remove and replace such Interim Member. The power of a Member to designate successor Members shall include, without limitation, the power to designate a temporary successor Member pending a descendant of such designating Member becoming an Adult. Subject to a Member’s right to replace any such successor Member pursuant to this Section 2.4, any such instrument of designation shall become effective according to its terms and shall be revocable at any time prior to the qualification of the designee. In the event that there shall be more than one instrument executed by the same person designating a successor Member, then the instrument that shall bear the most recent date and shall be unrevoked shall govern. Each former Member shall have the power, until his or her death or Permanent Incapacity, to replace any successor Member of such Member (including, without limitation, a temporary successor Member) by designating, in accordance with this Section 2.4, another person, which may be such former Member, as his or her successor Member. For the avoidance of doubt, the voting rights of any Interim Member on the Dolan Family Committee shall be in addition to any rights such person otherwise has a Member.

2.5. Any Member acting hereunder may resign at any time and for any reason by a written notice delivered to the other Members, to any former Member that is a predecessor of such Member and to the designated successor Member of such Member, if any.

2.6. In the event of the death, resignation or other failure to act of a Member other than Charles F. Dolan, or in the event of a court appointing a conservator, committee or guardian for such Member, and in the event that any such vacancy shall not be filled pursuant to the exercise of such Member’s, or one of such Member’s predecessor’s, power to designate his or her successor Member, as provided for in Section 2.4, then the successor Member to such Member shall be an individual designated by the trustees of the Applicable Member’s Trusts, acting unanimously; provided that (a) the prior consent of the Dolan Family Committee, acting by Majority Vote (excluding the vote of the relevant Member, if any), shall be required for the appointment of any successor Member who could not have been appointed by such Member without such consent pursuant to Section 2.4(b)

 

4


and (b) if such Member is survived by a child, such child shall have the right at any time after such child has become an Adult to remove and replace any successor Member appointed pursuant to this sentence or, if no such successor Member has been appointed, to appoint a successor Member. If at any time no successor Member to such Member shall have been appointed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2, then, unless and until such a successor Member shall have been appointed, such Member shall have no successor Member and such Member shall cease to be a Member and, unless and until such successor Member has been appointed, the Dolan Family Committee shall consist of the remaining Members.

2.7. Notwithstanding Section 2.6, if any Sibling Member or successor Member is no longer deemed to own any Shares, as determined in accordance with Section 3.1 of this Agreement, then such Member shall cease to be a Member and thereafter the Dolan Family Committee shall consist of the remaining Members.

2.8. Any rights hereunder of any Adult child of a Member who has died or become Permanently Incapacitated shall be exercised collectively by all such Adult children, acting by majority vote.

2.9. Charles F. Dolan is a Member of the Dolan Family Committee and, as such, shall (i) receive all notices of meetings of the Dolan Family Committee and copies of all materials provided to or prepared by the Dolan Family Committee, (ii) have the right to attend and participate in all meetings of the Dolan Family Committee and (iii) prior to the Transition Time, be included for purposes of determining whether or not a quorum is present for the transaction of business by the Dolan Family Committee; provided that Charles F.

5.2. Transfer Restrictions. Notwithstanding any of the rights set forth in this Section 5, no Class B Stockholder, other than (i) Charles F. Dolan or any trust of which he is a trustee and (ii) Helen A. Dolan or any trust of which she is a trustee, in each case to the extent provided in Section 5.8, may Transfer any or all of its Shares other than to a Permitted Holder unless:

(b) each share of Class B Common Stock being transferred is first converted into one share of the Company’s Class A common stock (“Class A Common Stock”) prior to such Transfer, unless (i) such Transfer is a pledge or encumbrance of such Shares and complies with Section 5.9(a), or (ii) otherwise agreed by approval of the Dolan Family Committee, acting by Two-Thirds Majority Vote (excluding the vote of any Member requesting such Transfer); and

(c) such Class B Stockholder complies with all other applicable provisions of this Section 5.

8


(the “Market Sale Offerees”), each of which shall have the right, exercisable within five Business Days after receipt of the Market Sale Notice, to (i) purchase the Initial Market Sale Shares owned by the Initial Market Sale Seller for a price per Share equal to 97% of the average closing price of shares of Class A Common Stock over the four week period prior to the date of the Market Sale Notice (the “Market Sale Price”), or (ii) participate in the Market Sale with the Initial Market Sale Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) any Market Sale that would result in a Change in Control shall require the approval described in Section 5.2(a) and (y) any Market Sale Shares (as defined below) that are sold in a Market Sale shall first be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock, and any Market Sale Shares that are sold to a Class B Stockholder pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall not be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock.

(b) If any Market Sale Offeree elects to participate in the Market Sale (a “Market Sale Participant” and, together with the Initial Market Sale Seller, the “Market Sale Sellers”) as provided in Section 5.3(a)(ii), such Market Sale Offeree shall provide notice (the “Second Market Sale Notice”) to the other Class B Stockholders (other than the Initial Market Sale Seller), each of which will have the right, exercisable within five Business Days after receipt of the Second Market Sale Notice to purchase the Shares to be sold by such Market Sale Participant in the Market Sale (“Market Sale Tag Along Shares” and, together with the Initial Market Sale Shares, the “Market Sale Shares”) for the Market Sale Price.

(c) If the Market Sale Offerees have not elected to purchase all the Market Sale Shares within the applicable election periods, each Market Sale Offeree that elected to purchase Market Sale Shares shall be provided an additional three Business Days, after the expiration of such election periods, to elect to purchase the remaining Market Sale Shares. If the offer to sell the Market Sale Shares in a Market Sale is oversubscribed at the expiration of any election period, such Market Sale Shares and the Market Sale Price in respect thereof will be allocated on a pro rata basis among the Market Sale Offerees which have elected to purchase Market Sale Shares so that such electing Market Sale Offeree will purchase a portion of the Market Sale Shares which bears the same ratio to the Market Sale Shares as the Shares of each electing Market Sale Offeree bear to the total number of Shares owned collectively by all such electing Market Sale Offerees, or as may otherwise be agreed among such electing Market Sale Offerees, provided that no Market Sale Offeree that elects to purchase Market Sale Shares will be required to purchase more Market Sale Shares than the amount set forth in its election.

(d) If the Market Sale Offerees have elected to purchase less than all of the Market Sale Shares, the Market Sale Shares to be sold to the Market Sale Offerees shall be apportioned as set forth in this Section 5.3(d). Each Market Sale Offeree shall purchase from each Market Sale Seller a number of Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of Shares such Market Sale Offeree has elected to purchase and (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the number of Market Sale Shares that such Market Sale Seller offered for sale by (y) the total number of Market Sale Shares that all of the Market Sale Sellers offered for sale, rounded down to the nearest whole number, or as may otherwise be agreed among such Market Sale Offerees and the sellers.

 

9


(e) In the event the number of Aggregated Market Sale Shares that Market Sale Offerees have not elected to purchase pursuant to this Section 5.3 exceeds the Rule 144 Threshold on the expiration date of the election periods under Section 5.3(c), the number of Shares to be sold by the holders of such Aggregated Market Sale Shares shall be reduced so that each such holder is entitled to sell in the Market Sale a number of Shares equal to the product of (i) the Rule 144 Threshold and (ii) the fraction determined by dividing (x) the total number of Aggregated Market Sale Shares owned by such holder as of such date by (y) the total number of Aggregated Market Sale Shares, or as may otherwise be agreed among such Market Sale Offerees.

(f) Subject to Section 5.3(g) and Section 5.3(h), the closing of the sale to the Market Sale Offerees pursuant to a Market Sale will be held as soon as practicable after the expiration of all of the applicable election periods under Section 5.3(c), and, in any event, no later than (i) 30 days after such expiration, if the value of such Market Sale Shares is less than $100 million, and (ii) 60 days after such expiration, if the value of such Market Shares is more than $100 million (the “Market Sale Scheduled Closing Date”). Contemporaneously with such closing, each Market Sale Seller will deliver a certificate or certificates representing the Market Sale Shares, properly endorsed for transfer and with all necessary transfer or documentary stamps, if any, affixed or if the Market Sale Shares are not certificated, the Market Sale Seller will cause such Shares to be transferred by book-entry transfer or other similar means, and in each case free and clear of all liens, restrictions or encumbrances against receipt from each purchasing Market Sale Offeree of the Market Sale Price or allocable portion thereof in cash or by certified or bank cashier’s check or wire or interbank transfer of funds.

(g) The obligation of a Market Sale Seller and a purchasing Market Sale Offeree to proceed with the closing on the Market Sale Scheduled Closing Date and the obligation to consummate a sale prior to the Market Sale Expiration Date will be conditioned upon and the Market Sale Scheduled Closing Date or the Market Sale Expiration Date, as applicable, will be extended to a date which is five Business Days following the last to occur of (i) the expiration (or earlier termination) of any applicable waiting period and, if extended, the extended waiting period under the HSR Act, and (ii) the receipt of all governmental and regulatory consents, approvals or waivers that may be required in connection with the purchase and sale of the Market Sale Shares, including any required consent or approval of the NBA or NHL. Each Market Sale Seller and the purchasing Market Sale Offerees will use all reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other or with a third party to promptly make all filings, give all notices and secure all consents, approvals and waivers that may be required in connection with the purchase and sale of the Market Shares.

 

10


(h) Each Market Sale Seller will have the right (subject to Section 5.3(e)) beginning with the expiration of the last election period under Section 5.3(c) and continuing until 90 days thereafter or, if later, the last date for the closing of such purchase under Section 5.3(f) or Section 5.3(g) (such later date being the “Market Sale Expiration Date”), as applicable, to sell all Market Sale Shares that the Market Sale Offerees do not elect to purchase in a Market Sale. If such Market Sale Shares are not sold prior to the Market Sale Expiration Date, all rights to sell such Market Sale Shares pursuant to such Market Sale, without making another offer to the Market Sale Offerees pursuant to this Section 5.3, will terminate and the provisions of this Section 5.3 will continue to apply to any proposed Market Sale (other than an Exempted Sale) in the future.

5.4. Right of First Refusal.

(a) Prior to any proposed sale of Shares otherwise permitted pursuant to this Section 5, other than to a Permitted Holder or in a Market Sale, the Class B Stockholder proposing to sell such Shares (the “ROFR Transferor”) shall obtain a bona fide, non-collusive, binding arm’s-length written offer, subject only to customary conditions, with respect to the proposed sale (a “Third Party Offer”) from a third party that is not an affiliate of such ROFR Transferor (the “Third Party”), which the ROFR Transferor desires to accept. The Third Party Offer shall not be subject to unstated conditions or contingencies or be part of a larger transaction such that the price for the Shares proposed to be transferred in the Third Party Offer (the “Offered Shares”) does not accurately reflect the Fair Market Value of such Offered Shares, and the Third Party Offer shall contain a description of all of the consideration, material terms and conditions for the proposed sale. The ROFR Transferor shall send a copy of the Third Party Offer, which shall include the identity of the Third Party, to each of the Class B Stockholders (the “Offerees”), together with a written offer to sell the Offered Shares to the Offerees on the same terms and conditions, including the Third Party Price, as the Third Party Offer. For the avoidance of doubt, any Shares to be transferred to a Third Party pursuant to a Third Party Offer shall first be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock, and any Shares transferred to any Class B Stockholder upon the exercise of its rights in this Section 5.4 shall not be converted to shares of Class A Common Stock.

(b) Each Offeree will have 10 Business Days from the receipt of such written offer from the ROFR Transferor to give written notice to the ROFR Transferor of its, his or her respective election to purchase the Offered Shares. The ROFR Transferor will notify each Offeree as to the number of Offered Shares that other Class B Stockholders did not elect to purchase pursuant to this Section 5 within two Business Days following such election (the “Offeree Notice”).

(c) If the Offerees have not elected to purchase all the Offered Shares within the applicable election period, each Offeree that has so elected to purchase Offered Shares shall be provided an additional three Business Days from the expiration of such election period to elect to purchase the remaining Offered Shares. If the offer to sell the

 

11


Offered Shares is oversubscribed at the expiration of any election period, such Offered Shares and the Third Party Price in respect thereof will be allocated on a pro rata basis among the Offerees which have elected to purchase Offered Shares so that each such electing Offeree will receive a portion of the Offered Shares which bears the same ratio to the Offered Shares as the Shares of such electing Offeree bear to the total number of Shares owned collectively by all such electing Offerees, or as may otherwise be agreed among such electing Offerees, provided that no Offeree that elects to purchase Offered Shares will be required to purchase more Offered Shares than the amount set forth in its election.

(d) Subject to Section 5.4(e) and Section 5.4(f), the closing of the sale to the Offerees pursuant to an Offering will be held as soon as practicable after the expiration of all of the election periods under Section 5.4(c), and, in any event, no later than (i) 30 days after such expiration, if the value of such Offered Shares is less than $100 million, and (ii) 60 days after such expiration, if the value of such Offered Shares is more than $100 million (the “Scheduled Closing Date”). Contemporaneously with such closing, the ROFR Transferor will deliver a certificate or certificates representing the Offered Shares, properly endorsed for transfer and with all necessary transfer or documentary stamps, if any, affixed, or if the Offered Shares are not certificated, the ROFR Transferor will cause such Shares to be transferred by book-entry transfer or other similar means, in each case, free and clear of all liens, restrictions or encumbrances against receipt from each purchasing Offeree of the Third Party Price or allocable portion thereof in cash or by certified or bank cashier’s check or wire or interbank transfer of funds.

(e) The obligation of a ROFR Transferor and a purchasing Offeree to proceed with the closing on the Scheduled Closing Date and the obligation of a ROFR Transferor and a Third Party to consummate a sale prior to the Expiration Date will be conditioned upon and the Scheduled Closing Date or the Expiration Date, as applicable, will be extended to a date which is five Business Days following the last to occur of (i) the expiration (or earlier termination) of any applicable waiting period and, if extended, the extended waiting period under the HSR Act, and (ii) the receipt of all governmental and regulatory consents, approvals or waivers that may be required in connection with the purchase and sale of the Offered Shares, including any required consent or approval of the NBA or NHL. The ROFR Transferor and the purchasing Offerees will use all reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other or with a third party to promptly make all filings, give all notices and secure all consents, approvals and waivers that may be required in connection with the purchase and sale of the Offered Shares.

(f) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.4(a) through (e), elections to purchase made by the Offerees will not be binding on the ROFR Transferor if (x) the Offerees have not elected, as provided in Section 5.4(c), to purchase all of the Offered Shares or (y) the Offerees have not closed on the purchase of all the Offered Shares by the Scheduled Closing Date (as such Scheduled Closing Date may be extended pursuant to Section 5.4(e)) in accordance with the terms hereof. In such event, no sales pursuant to such

 

12


elections will be required to be made by the ROFR Transferor and the ROFR Transferor will have the right for a period of 120 days after the expiration of the last election period in Section 5.4(c) or, if later, the last date for the closing of such purchase under Section 5.4(d) or Section 5.4(e) (such later date being the “Expiration Date”), as appropriate, to sell all but not less than all of the Offered Shares, but only to the Third Party for a price (including any non-cash consideration in the Third Party Offer) and on terms no more favorable to the Third Party than the Third Party Price and the terms of the Third Party Offer. If such Offered Shares are not sold prior to the Expiration Date, all rights to sell such Offered Shares pursuant to such Third Party Offer, without making another offer to the Offerees pursuant to this Section 5.4, will terminate and the provisions of this Section 5.4 will continue to apply to any proposed transfer in the future.

5.5. Tag-Along Rights.

(a) Subject to Section 5.4, if one or more Class B Stockholders (the “Transferring Stockholders”) desire to sell any or all of their Shares, other than to a Permitted Holder or in a Market Sale, and such sale would result in a Change of Control (and has been approved as provided in Section 5.2(a)), each Class B Stockholder shall have the right to participate on the same terms and conditions and for the same per share consideration as the Transferring Stockholders in the sale in the manner set forth in this Section 5.5. If Class B Stockholders do not elect to purchase such Shares pursuant to Section 5.4, the Transferring Stockholders shall, prior to such sale, deliver to the other Class B Stockholders prompt written notice (the “Transfer Notice”), which notice shall state (i) the name of the proposed transferee, (ii) the number of Shares proposed to be transferred (the “Transferred Shares”) and the percentage (the “Tag Percentage”) that such number of Shares constitutes of the total number of Shares owned by such Transferring Stockholders, (iii) the proposed purchase price therefore, including a description of any non-cash consideration sufficiently detailed to permit the determination of the Fair Market Value thereof, and (iv) the other material terms and conditions of the proposed sale, including the proposed sale date (which date may not be less than 30 days after delivery of the Transfer Notice). Such notice shall be accompanied by a written offer from the proposed transferee to purchase the Transferred Shares, which offer may be conditioned upon the consummation of the sale by the Transferring Stockholders, or the most recent drafts of the purchase and sale documentation between the Transferring Stockholders and the transferee which shall make provision for the participation of the other Class B Stockholders in such sale consistent with this Section 5.5.

(b) Each Class B Stockholder may elect to participate in the proposed sale to the proposed transferee identified in the Transfer Notice by giving written notice to the Transferring Stockholders within the 10 Business Day period after the delivery of the Transfer Notice (any Class B Stockholder that so elects, a “Tag-Along Participant”), which notice shall state that such Tag-Along Participant elects to exercise its rights of tag-along under this Section 5.5 and shall state the maximum number of Shares sought to be transferred (which number may not exceed the product of (i) all such Shares owned by such Tag-Along

 

13


Participant, multiplied by (ii) the Tag Percentage). Each Class B Stockholder shall be deemed to have waived its right of tag-along with respect to the Transferred Shares hereunder if it fails to give notice within the prescribed time period. The proposed transferee of Transferred Shares will not be obligated to purchase a number of Shares exceeding that set forth in the Transfer Notice, and in the event such transferee elects to purchase less than all of the additional Shares sought to be transferred by the Tag-Along Participants, the number of Shares to be transferred by the Transferring Stockholders and each such Tag-Along Participant shall be reduced so that each such Class B Stockholder is entitled to sell its Pro Rata Portion of the number of Shares the proposed transferee elects to purchase (which in no event may be less than the number of Transferred Shares set forth in the Transfer Notice). For purposes of this Section 5.5, on the applicable sale date, “Pro Rata Portion” means, with respect to any Class B Stockholder, the number of Shares equal to the product of (x) the total number Shares that the proposed transferee elects to purchase and (y) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the total number of Shares owned by such Class B Stockholder as of such date by (B) the number of such Shares owned in the aggregate by the Transferring Stockholders and all Tag-Along Participants as of such date.

(c) Each Tag-Along Participant shall receive consideration in the same form and per Share amount after deduction of such Tag-Along Participant’s proportionate share of the related expenses. Each Tag-Along Participant shall agree to make or agree to the same customary representations, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the Transferring Stockholders so long as they are made severally and not jointly and, among any Persons liable for a particular liability, such liability is borne by such Persons on a pro rata basis based the consideration contemplated by the related definitive agreement(s) to be received by such Person (with respect to each Class B Stockholder participating in a sale pursuant to this Section 5.5, the “Anticipated Proceeds”); provided that (i) any general indemnity given by the Transferring Stockholders or Tag-Along Participants for liabilities not specific to one or more of them shall be apportioned among them in accordance with their respective Anticipated Proceeds and with respect to each Tag-Along Participant shall not exceed such Tag-Along Participant’s Anticipated Proceeds, and (ii) any representation relating specifically to a Class B Stockholder participating in a sale pursuant to this Section 5.5 and/or its ownership of Shares to be transferred shall be made only by that Class B Stockholder.

(d) The fees and expenses incurred in connection with a sale under this Section 5.5 and for the benefit of all Class B Stockholders participating in a sale pursuant to this Section 5.5 (it being understood that costs incurred by or on behalf of a Class B Stockholder for his, her or its sole benefit will not be considered to be for the benefit of all Class B Stockholders), to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the transferee or acquiring Person, shall be shared by all the Class B Stockholders participating in a sale pursuant to this Section 5.5 on a pro rata basis, based on each such Class B Stockholder’s Anticipated Proceeds. The proposed sale date may be extended beyond the date described in the Transfer Notice to the extent necessary to obtain required approvals of any Governmental Body and other required approvals.

 

14


(e) Each Tag-Along Participant shall deliver to the transferee at the closing of the sale of the Transferred Shares to the transferee such Transferred Shares by book-entry transfer or other similar means, if such Transferred Shares are not certificated, or, if such Transferred Shares are certificated, certificates representing the Transferred Shares to be transferred by such Tag-Along Participant, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by stock powers duly executed, in either case executed in blank or in favor of the applicable purchaser against payment of the aggregate purchase price therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(f) If the Transferring Stockholders sell or otherwise Transfer to the transferee any of their Shares in breach of this Section 5.5, then each other Class B Stockholder shall have the right to sell to the Transferring Stockholders, and the Transferring Stockholders undertake to purchase from each other Class B Stockholder, the number of Shares that such Class B Stockholder would have had the right to sell to the transferee pursuant to this Section 5.5, for a per Share amount and form of consideration and upon the terms and conditions on which the transferee bought such Shares from the Transferring Stockholders, but without any indemnity being granted by any other Class B Stockholder to the Transferring Stockholders; provided that nothing contained in this Section 5.5(f) shall preclude any Class B Stockholder from seeking alternative remedies against any of the Transferring Stockholders as a result of its breach of this Section 5.5.

5.6. Drag-Along Rights.

(a) Subject to Section 5.4, if one or more Class B Stockholders (the “Drag-Along Sellers”) propose to sell, other than to a Permitted Holder or in a Market Sale, all of their Shares, and such sale would result in a Change of Control (and has been approved as provided in Section 5.2(a)), then, if requested by the Drag-Along Sellers, each other Class B Stockholder (each, a “Selling Stockholder”) shall be required to sell all of the Shares held by it in such transaction (the “Drag Transaction”).

(b) The Drag-Along Sellers shall provide written notice (the “Drag-Along Notice”) to each Selling Stockholder of any proposed Drag Transaction as soon as practicable following their compliance with Sections 5.2(a) and 5.4 and their exercise of the rights provided in Section 5.6(a). The Drag Along Notice shall set forth the consideration to be paid by the purchaser for the Shares, the identity of the purchaser and the material terms of the Drag Transaction.

(c) The consideration to be received by a Selling Stockholder shall be the same form and amount of consideration per Share to be received by the Drag-Along Sellers, and, subject to Section 5.6(d), the terms and conditions of such sale shall be the same as those upon which the Drag-Along Sellers sell their Shares.

 

15


(d) In connection with the Drag Transaction, each Selling Stockholder will agree to make or agree to the same customary representations, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the Drag-Along Sellers so long as they are made severally and not jointly and, among any Persons liable for a particular liability, such liability is borne by such Persons on a pro rata basis based on the consideration received by each such Person; provided that (i) any general indemnity given by the Drag-Along Sellers or Selling Stockholders not specific to any of them shall be shared by each of the Drag-Along Sellers and Selling Stockholders, in the case of the Selling Stockholders on a several basis according to the consideration received by such Selling Stockholder and not in excess of such Selling Stockholder’s net proceeds from the sale, (ii) any representation relating specifically to a Selling Stockholder and/or its Shares shall be made only by that Selling Stockholder, and (iii) in no event shall any Class B Stockholder be obligated to agree to any non-competition covenant or other similar agreement as a condition of participating in such sale.

(e) The fees and expenses incurred in connection with a sale under this Section 5.6 and for the benefit of all Class B Stockholders (it being understood that costs incurred by or on behalf of a Class B Stockholder for his, her or its sole benefit will not be considered to be for the benefit of all Class B Stockholders), to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the transferee or acquiring Person, shall be borne by the Drag-Along Sellers, unless the closing of such sale occurs, in which case they shall be shared by all the Class B Stockholders on a pro rata basis, based on the consideration received by each Class B Stockholder in respect of its Shares.

(f) Each Selling Stockholder shall deliver to the applicable transferee, upon the consummation of the Drag Transaction, the Shares to be transferred by such Selling Stockholder by book-entry transfer or other similar means, if such Shares are not certificated, or, if such Shares are certificated, certificates representing such Shares duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by stock powers duly executed, in either case executed in blank or in favor of the applicable transferee against payment of the aggregate purchase price therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

16


(b) Except as may be permitted in connection with a Transfer in accordance with this Section 5, no Class B Stockholder shall convert its Shares into shares of Class A Common Stock without the Dolan Approval, prior to the Transition Time, and, thereafter, the approval of the Dolan Family Committee, acting by Two-Thirds Majority Vote (excluding the vote of any Member requesting such conversion).

5.8. CFD/HAD Transfers.

(a) Charles F. Dolan, any trust of which he is a trustee, Helen A. Dolan and any trust of which she is a trustee shall not be bound by the transfer restrictions set forth in this Section 5 to the extent authorized by the Dolan Approval prior to the Transition Time.
