WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, Lessor is the owner of a Gulfstream AerospaceGV-SP (G550) aircraft, manufacturer’s serial number 5043, United States registration N107VS, including its engines, accessories, components and parts (the “Aircraft”); and

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed that Lessor shall lease the Aircraft to Lessee on anon-exclusive basis for use by Lessee upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants, agreements, representations and warranties set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, Lessor and Lessee, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1.    Lease of Aircraft.

(a)    This Lease sets forth the exclusive terms and conditions under which Lessee is entitled to use the Aircraft, and Lessee shall have no right to use the Aircraft except as expressly set forth herein. Lessor shall lease the Aircraft to Lessee, and Lessee shall lease the Aircraft from Lessor, during all Lease Periods throughout the Term (as defined in Section 12) of this Lease as provided hereunder. “Lease Periods” shall mean those times, if any, when the Aircraft is being utilized by Lessee hereunder, with the consent of Lessor as provided in Section 1(e), for flight operations conducted by Lessee under Part 91 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (“FARs”), including any deadhead, ferry or repositioning flights to return the Aircraft to the airport at which the Lease Period commenced or to position the Aircraft for a Lessee trip at a remote location away from Republic Airport, Farmingdale, New York (KFRG), but excluding any deadhead, ferry and repositioning flights described in Section 1(b) below (“Lessee Flights”). Lessee’s right to use the Aircraft hereunder during the Term shall benon-exclusive and is subject in all respects to (i) Lessor’s right to use the Aircraft at all times during the Term other than during such Lease Periods and (ii) Lessor’s right to permit othernon-exclusive lessees to use the Aircraft under their operational control and possession, command and control

(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that if a trip by Lessee causes or will cause the Aircraft to be at a remote location away from KFRG (“Lessee’s Location”), Lessee shall, at Lessor’s request, permit the Aircraft to be relocated from Lessee’s Location to KFRG or other location designated by Lessor (and thereafter shall be returned to Lessee’s Location) if Lessor requires use of the Aircraft directly or for one of its affiliatednon-exclusive lessees, but only if such itinerary will not unreasonably delay or interfere with any scheduled flight by Lessee. In that event, (i) Lessee’s then-current Lease Period shall terminate effective as of initial enginestart-up for the departure flight from Lessee’s Location; (ii) Lessor or its affiliatednon-exclusive lessee shall pay all costs incurred during the period in which the Aircraft is away from Lessee’s Location, including all occupied and deadhead legs to ferry the Aircraft from Lessee’s Location and back; and (iii) a new Lease Period shall begin effective as of final engine shut-down upon return of the Aircraft to Lessee’s Location.

(c)    Transfer of the Aircraft from Lessor to Lessee to commence a Lease Period hereunder, and transfer of the Aircraft from Lessee to Lessor to terminate a Lease Period hereunder, shall be evidenced by the entry of appropriate notations of such transfer on the Aircraft’s logs. Upon the commencement or termination of any Lease Period hereunder, the party transferring possession of the Aircraft shall deliver the Aircraft to the other party at KFRG or such other location as the parties may agree. In the case of a transfer of possession from Lessee to Lessor, the Aircraft shall be in at least the same operating condition, order, repair and condition as when received by Lessee at the commencement of the Lease Period, reasonable wear and tear and maintenance events arising during the Lease Period not caused by Lessee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct excepted.

(d)    Subject to Aircraft and crew availability, Lessor shall use its good faith efforts, consistent with Lessor’s approved policies, in order to accommodate the needs of Lessee, to avoid conflicts in scheduling with Lessor’s affiliatednon-exclusive lessees’ use of the Aircraft, and to enable Lessee to enjoy the benefits of this Lease; however, Lessee acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Lessor shall have sole and exclusive final authority over the scheduling of the Aircraft and Lessor’s other affiliated non-exclusive lessees’ needs for the Aircraft shall take precedence over Lessee’s rights and Lessor’s obligations under this Lease pursuant to Section 1(e).

(e)    Lessee shall use its reasonable efforts to give Lessor as much advance notice of Lessee’s proposed utilization hereunder. If Lessee notifies Lessor pursuant to Section 15 of Lessee’s proposed use of the Aircraft and Lessor consents thereto, the period described in such notice of proposed use may be scheduled by Lessee (unless such intended use is cancelled by Lessee by like notice to Lessor). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all Lessee Flights approved by Lessor and scheduled by Lessee are subject to the absolute right of Lessor to revoke such approval at any time prior to twenty four (24) hours before the scheduled departure of the initial flight of the approved itinerary, without liability, upon notice to Lessee. Any notice under this Section 1(e) may be either written or oral, but shall be given only to or by individuals designated by each party from time to time as authorized to act on its behalf for purposes of this Section 1(e).

2.    Rent.

(a)    Lessee shall remit to Lessor the sum per block hour set forth on Schedule 1 hereto from time to time as Rent for the use of the Aircraft by Lessee during each Lease Period hereunder. For this purpose, a “block hour” shall be measured in hours and tenths of hours, rounded to the nearest tenth of an hour, from the time the Aircraft moves for purposes of flight at the departure airport to the time the Aircraft comes to a stop at the arrival airport.

(b)    Not later than thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month during the Term, Lessee shall provide to Lessor a statement showing all use of the Aircraft during Lease Periods during that month, and a complete accounting detailing any Rent due from Lessee for that month. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Lessee shall have no obligation to utilize the Aircraft hereunder, and there shall be no Rent payable to Lessor hereunder with respect to any calendar month if Lessee does not use the Aircraft hereunder during such month. All payments of Rent due for any calendar month shall be made at Lessor’s address set forth above, or at such other place as Lessor may designate to Lessee in writing from time to time, not later than the thirtieth (30^th) day of the following month.

(c)    Not later than thirty (30) days following June 30 (the“True-Up Date”) each year during the Term, Sterling shall provide (or cause to be provided) to MSG a statement showing the total number of hours of use of the Aircraft from July 1 of the preceding year to and including theTrue-Up Date. The statement provided by (or on behalf of) Sterling for the period of July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019, the statement shall include MSG’s use of Sterling Aviation LLC’s Gulfstream AerospaceG-V aircraft, manufacturer’s serial number 639, United States registration N501CV (the “GV”). Pursuant to that certain Time Sharing Agreement, effective as of July 1, 2018, between Charles F. Dolan (“CFD”) and MSG (the “MSG G550 Time Sharing Agreement”) providing for the lease of MSG’s Gulfstream AerospaceGV-SP aircraft, manufacturer’s serial number 5264, United States registration N551CS (the “MSG G550”) by CFD, MSG shall deliver a statement showing the total number of hours of use of the MSG G550 by CFD from July 1 of the preceding year to and including theTrue-Up Date. The parties acknowledge and agree that the expectation is that Lessee’s use of the Aircraft pursuant to this Lease shall be greater (on a per hour basis) than Lessor’s use of the MSG G550 pursuant to the MSG G550 Time Sharing Agreement. In the event that the total number of hours of use of the Aircraft (including use of the GV, as applicable) by MSG during such period is greater than CFD’s use of the MSG G550 for such period, MSG shall remit to Lessor as Additional Rent the sum per block hour set forth on Schedule 1 hereto for such hours in excess of CFD’s use of the MSG G550 (the“True-Up Hours”). In addition, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that such Rent, including any Additional Rent, shall be permitted to be further adjusted to ensure that the arrangement is not economically unfair to the Lessor of the Aircraft. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, under no circumstances shall the fees paid under this Lease by Lessee be greater than those permitted under FAR Part 91.501(d).

3.    Expenses. Lessor shall pay the entire cost of insuring, maintaining and fueling the Aircraft during the Term. Lessee shall pay the following trip-specific costs of operating the Aircraft during Lease Periods under this Lease:
