FORM OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AGREEMENT

Dear [Participant Name]:

Pursuant to the 2020 Employee Stock Plan (the “Plan”), you have been selected by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (as more fully described in Section 11, the “Committee”) of Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. (formerly known as MSG Entertainment Spinco, Inc.) (the “Company”), effective as of [Grant Date] (the “Grant Date”) to receive [#RSUs] restricted stock units (“Units”). The Units are granted subject to the terms and conditions set forth below and in the Plan.

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this agreement (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 of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (“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 your continuous employment with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries,one-third of your Units will vest on each of September 15, [year], [year] and [year] (each, a “Vesting Date”); provided that fractional Units eligible to vest on each of the first two Vesting Dates will be rounded up to the nearest whole Unit. 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 Company or one of its Subsidiaries from the Grant Date through each respective Vesting Date.

3.    Vesting in the Event of Death, Disability[, Retirement]¹ and Other Circumstances.

(a)    If your employment is terminated as a result of your death, all of the unvested Units will vest as of the termination date.

(b)    If your employment is terminated while you are Disabled, and Cause does not then exist, your unvested Units will immediately vest, and will become payable at such times as they would have otherwise vested pursuant toSection 2.

(c)    [If your employment is terminated on or after the date that you achieve Retirement Eligibility, and Cause does not then exist, then so long as you enter into the Company’s then-current form of separation agreement (which shall include, without limitation, a covenant not to compete), you will vest in your Units and such Units will

become payable at such times as they would have otherwise vested pursuant to Section 2 regardless of whether or not you remain employed by the Company on such dates; provided, however, that upon a termination for Cause, you will forfeit all Units that had not yet been paid.]²

(d)    If your employment is terminated for other reasons, the Committee may, in its sole discretion determine to vest all or a portion of the unvested Units (but shall be under no obligation to consider doing so).

(e)    For purposes of this Agreement:

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

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 applicable 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.

If your Units vest prior to payment in accordance with Section 3(b)[ or][,] (c)[ or (d)]⁴, then you agree to cooperate with the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligations, in such manner as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

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.
