Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

On May 6, 2014, MSG Holdings, L.P. (“MSG Holdings”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of The Madison Square Garden Company (“MSG”), and certain subsidiaries of MSG Holdings entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, collateral agent and a letter of credit issuer, and the lenders parties thereto. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and limitations, the Credit Agreement allows for the addition of incremental term and/or revolving loan commitments and incremental term and/or revolving loans. The Credit Agreement refinances and replaces MSG Holdings’ prior credit agreement dated January 28, 2010 in its entirety.

The Facility

The Credit Agreement provides MSG Holdings at closing with a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $500,000,000 with a term of five years. The proceeds of borrowings under the facility are expected to be available for working capital and capital expenditures, and for general corporate purposes. Up to $100,000,000 of the revolving credit facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit. All borrowings under the revolving credit facility, including, without limitation, amounts drawn under the revolving line of credit are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including absence of a default and accuracy of representations and warranties.

Interest Rates and Fees

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest, at a floating rate which at the option of MSG Holdings may be either 1.25% over a floating base rate or 2.25% over an adjusted LIBOR rate. Upon a payment default in respect of principal, interest or other amounts due and payable under the Credit Agreement or related loan documents, default interest will accrue on all overdue amounts at an additional rate of 2.00% per annum.

The Credit Agreement requires MSG Holdings to pay a commitment fee of 0.40% in respect of the average daily unused commitments thereunder. MSG Holdings will also be required to pay customary letter of credit fees, as well as fronting fees, to banks that issue letters of credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

Guarantees and Security

All obligations under the Credit Agreement will be guaranteed by MSG Holdings’ existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries that are not designated as excluded subsidiaries or unrestricted subsidiaries in accordance with the Credit Agreement (the “Guarantors”). All obligations under the Credit Agreement, including the guarantees of those obligations, will be secured by certain of the assets of MSG Holdings and each Guarantor (collectively, “Collateral”), including, but not limited to, a pledge of the equity interests held directly or indirectly by MSG Holdings in each Guarantor. The Collateral, however, does not include, among other things, our sports franchises or other assets of any of MSG Holdings’ teams, including The New York Knicks and The New York Rangers, or any interests in real property of MSG Holdings or the Guarantors, including the Madison Square Garden complex, the leasehold interest in Radio City Music Hall, the Forum in Inglewood, CA and MSG Holdings’ real property interest in other venues.

Prepayments

Subject to customary notice and minimum amount conditions, MSG Holdings may voluntarily prepay outstanding loans under the Credit Agreement at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except for customary breakage costs with respect to Eurodollar loans).

MSG Holdings is required to make mandatory prepayments in certain circumstances, including without limitation from the net cash proceeds of certain sales of assets (including Collateral) or casualty insurance and/or condemnation recoveries (subject to certain reinvestment, repair or replacement rights) and the incurrence of certain indebtedness, subject to certain exceptions including for the previously announced sale of MSG Holdings’ subsidiary Fuse Holdings LLC.
