			“It is anticipated that the funding for the 2006 Transaction (as defined and described in Item 4 below) will be approximately $10.9 billion (including refinancing the Issuer’s existing credit facilities). Merrill Lynch Capital Corporation and Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. have executed a commitment letter, dated October 8, 2006, to fully finance the 2006 Transaction through a combination of revolving credit facilities, term loans and high yield notes.

			This summary of the commitment letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the commitment letter attached hereto as Exhibit 28, the complete text of which is hereby incorporated by reference. The structure of the 2006 Transaction reflected in the commitment letter remains under review and subject to change prior to execution by all parties.”

Item 4.			Purpose of Transaction

			The disclosure in Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following after the final paragraph thereof:

			“On October 8, 2006, Charles F. Dolan and James L. Dolan, on behalf of the Reporting Persons, submitted a proposal (the “2006 Proposal Letter”) to the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) pursuant to which the Reporting Persons would acquire all of the shares of common stock of the Issuer held by the public stockholders at a purchase price of $27.00 per share in cash. As a result of the transaction described in the 2006 Proposal Letter (the “2006 Transaction”), the Reporting Persons would own 100% of the common equity of the Issuer. The 2006 Proposal Letter is conditioned upon the execution of mutually satisfactory definitive agreements. A copy of the 2006 Proposal Letter is attached as Exhibit 29 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated by reference in its entirety.

			The Reporting Persons expect that the Board will form a special committee, wholly comprised of independent directors, to evaluate and negotiate the terms of the proposed transaction (the “Special Committee”) and that the Special Committee will retain its own legal and financial advisors to assist in this process. The Reporting Persons do not intend to pursue the 2006 Transaction without the approval of the Special Committee.

			As indicated in the 2006 Proposal Letter, the Reporting Persons are interested only in pursuing the 2006 Transaction and will not sell their stake in the Issuer.

			If the 2006 Transaction is consummated, (i) the common stock of the Issuer would become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, (ii) the common stock of the Issuer would be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and (iii) the Reporting Persons would expect to amend and restate the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Issuer to make such changes they deem necessary or appropriate.

			If the 2006 Transaction is consummated, the Reporting Persons anticipate that Charles F. Dolan will continue in the position of Chairman of the Issuer and James L. Dolan will continue in the position of Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer.

			On October 9, 2006, the Reporting Persons issued a related press release, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 30, announcing the delivery of the 2006 Proposal Letter to the Board and providing a brief discussion of the 2006 Transaction.”

EX-99.A 2 y2577416exv99wa.htm EX-99.A: TRUSTEE ANDS BENEFICIARY LIST EX-99.A

Exhibit A

Each of Kathleen M. Dolan and Paul J. Dolan is currently a trustee (a “Trustee” and together, the “Trustees”) for each of the trusts listed below (collectively, the “Family Trusts”), which as of October 8, 2006, beneficially owned in the aggregate, either directly or indirectly through their membership interests in Dolan Family LLC, 7,978,925 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Issuer (the “Class B Common Stock”). Class B Common Stock is convertible at the option of the holder thereof, share for share, into Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Issuer (the “Class A Common Stock”). Under each trust, if there are more than three Trustees, a majority of the Trustees must act with respect to voting and disposition of the Class B Common Stock, and unanimous consent is not required. If there are only two Trustees, both must consent. As a Trustee of the Family Trusts, each of the Trustees may be deemed to share the power to vote and dispose of all shares held by the Family Trusts and Dolan Family LLC. Under certain rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, so long as the Trustees retain such powers, they may be deemed to have beneficial ownership thereof for purposes of Schedule 13D reporting. The Trustees expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of such shares and this report shall not be construed as an admission that such persons are the beneficial owners of such securities.

The following table lists the name of each Family Trust and the name of its beneficiary or description of its beneficiary class.


Name of Trust		Beneficiary

Dolan Descendants Trust		All descendants of Charles F. Dolan living at any time and from time to time.

Dolan Progeny Trust		All children of Charles F. Dolan living at any time and from time to time.

Dolan Grandchildren Trust		All children and grandchildren of Charles F. Dolan living at any time and from time to time.

Dolan Spouse Trust		All descendants of Charles F. Dolan living at any time and from time to time and their spouses.

Pursuant to the provisions of the agreements governing the Family Trusts, the economic interest in the shares of the Issuer owned by each Family Trust is held by such trust’s beneficiary class. For each Trust, distributions of income and principal can be made in the discretion of the non-beneficiary Trustee (in each case, Paul J. Dolan) to any one or more of the members of such trust’s beneficiary class.

Kathleen M. Dolan is a co-Trustee of each of the DC James Trust (with Paul J. Dolan as co-Trustee), the DC Patrick Trust (with Mary S. Dolan as co-Trustee), the DC Thomas Trust (with Matthew J. Dolan as co-Trustee), the DC Kathleen Trust (with Paul J. Dolan as co-Trustee), the DC Marianne Trust (with Matthew J. Dolan as co-Trustee) and the DC Deborah Trust (with Mary S. Dolan as co-Trustee) (together, the “DC Trusts”), which as of October 8, 2006, beneficially owned in the aggregate 11,493,942 shares of Class B Common Stock.

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

DC James Trust		James L. Dolan

DC Patrick Trust		Patrick F. Dolan

DC Thomas Trust		Thomas C. Dolan

DC Kathleen Trust		Kathleen M. Dolan

DC Marianne Trust		Marianne Dolan Weber

DC Deborah Trust		Deborah A. Dolan-Sweeney

For each of the DC Trusts other than the DC Kathleen Trust, distributions of income and principal can be made in the discretion of the Trustees to the Current Beneficiary. For the DC Kathleen Trust, distributions of income and principal can be made in the discretion of the non-beneficiary Trustee to the Current Beneficiary. For each of the DC Trusts, the Current Beneficiary has the power during his or her life to appoint all or part of his or her DC Trust to or for the benefit of one or more of his or her descendants.

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

Kathleen M. Dolan is a co-Trustee of each of the CFD Trust No. 1 (with Paul J. Dolan as co-Trustee), CFD Trust No. 2 (with Mary Dolan as co-Trustee), CFD Trust No. 3 (with Matthew Dolan as co-Trustee), CFD Trust No. 4 (with Mary Dolan as co-Trustee), CFD Trust No. 5 (with Matthew J. Dolan as co-Trustee), and CFD Trust No. 6 (with Paul J. Dolan as co-Trustee) (collectively, the “CFD Children’s Trusts”). As of October 8, 2006, the CFD Children’s Trusts beneficially owned an aggregate of 1,084,918 shares of Class A Common Stock and 10,380,845 shares of Class B Common Stock.

For each of the CFD Children’s Trusts, except CFD Trust No. 1, distributions of income and principal can be made in the Trustees’ discretion to the child of Charles F. Dolan and Helen A. Dolan who is the current beneficiary of the respective CFD Children’s Trust (the “Current CFD Beneficiary”). For CFD Trust No. 1, distributions of income and principal can be made in the non-beneficiary Trustee’s discretion to Kathleen M. Dolan who is the current beneficiary of this trust. The Current CFD Beneficiary has a power during his or her life to appoint all or part of the relevant CFD Children’s Trust to or for the benefit of one or more of the Current CFD Beneficiary’s descendants. Upon the death of the Current CFD Beneficiary, the relevant CFD Children’s Trust, if not previously terminated, will pass as appointed by the Current CFD Beneficiary to or for the benefit of one or more of the Current CFD Beneficiary’s descendants. Any unappointed portion of such Trust will pass, in further trust, per stirpes to the Current CFD 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 following table lists the CFD Children’s Trusts and the name of its beneficiary.


Name of Trust		Beneficiary

CFD Trust No. 1		Kathleen M. Dolan

CFD Trust No. 2		Deborah A. Dolan-Sweeney

CFD Trust No. 3		Marianne Dolan Weber

CFD Trust No. 4		Patrick F. Dolan

CFD Trust No. 5		Thomas C. Dolan

CFD Trust No. 6		James L. Dolan

Paul J. Dolan is the sole Trustee of CFD Trust No. 10. As of October 8, 2006, CFD Trust No. 10 owned 39,259 shares of Class A Common Stock and 409,511 shares of Class B Common Stock. Paul J. Dolan does not have an economic interest in any such shares, but, as the Trustee of CFD Trust No. 10, does have the power to vote and dispose of such shares. Under certain rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, so long as he retains such powers, he may be deemed to have beneficial ownership thereof for purposes of Schedule 13D reporting.

Distributions of income and principal of CFD Trust No. 10 can be made in the Trustee’s discretion to Marie Atwood, the current beneficiary, who is the sister of Helen A. Dolan. Marie Atwood has a power during her life to appoint all or part of CFD Trust No. 10 to or for the benefit of one or more of her descendants. Upon the death of Marie Atwood, the trust, if not previously terminated, will pass as appointed by Marie Atwood to or for the benefit of one or more of her descendants. Any unappointed portion of the trust will pass, in further trust, per stirpes to Marie Atwood’s then living descendants, or if none, among Marie Atwood’s heirs-at-law. Marie Atwood’s spouse, if he survives her, has a power during his life and upon his death to appoint all or part of any such continuing trust(s) to or for the benefit of one or more of Marie Atwood’s descendants.

Kathleen M. Dolan is the sole Trustee of the Charles Dolan 1989 Trust (for the benefit of Charles P. Dolan), the Ryan Dolan 1989 Trust, the Marissa Waller 1989 Trust, and the Tara Dolan 1989 Trust (collectively, the “DC Grandchildren Trusts”). As of October 8, 2006, the DC Grandchildren Trusts beneficially owned an aggregate of 242,508 shares of Class B Common Stock. Until the respective beneficiary attains age 21, the income of the relevant DC Grandchildren Trust may be distributed to or for the benefit of such beneficiary as the Trustee’s discretion determines. Any net income not so distributed is to be accumulated and added to the principal of the relevant DC Grandchildren Trust. From and after the respective beneficiary attaining age 21, all of the net income of the relevant DC Grandchildren Trust is to be distributed to such beneficiary. In addition, during the continuance of relevant DC Grandchildren Trust, the Trustee in the Trustee’s discretion may distribute the principal of the relevant DC Grandchildren Trust to or for the benefit of the respective beneficiary. Upon the respective beneficiary attaining age 40, the relevant DC Grandchildren 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 DC Grandchildren Trust. In default of the exercise of such power of appointment, the relevant DC Grandchildren 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.

Marissa Waller has attained the age of 21 and has an economic interest in the Issuer’s shares held by her respective trust. Beneficiaries of each of the other DC Grandchildren Trusts can be said to have

only a contingent economic interest in the securities of the Issuer, because such beneficiaries have not attained the age of 21.

The following table lists the DC Grandchildren Trusts and the name of its beneficiary or description of the beneficiary class with respect to each such trust.


Name of Trust		Beneficiary

Charles Dolan 1989 Trust		Charles P. Dolan and descendants

Ryan Dolan 1989 Trust		Ryan Dolan and descendants

Marissa Waller 1989 Trust		Marissa Waller and descendants

Tara Dolan 1989 Trust		Tara Dolan and descendants

Each of Lawrence J. Dolan and David M. Dolan (each, a “2001 Trustee” and together, the “2001 Trustees”) is currently a Trustee of the Charles F. Dolan 2001 Family Trust (the “2001 Trust”). As of October 8, 2006, the 2001 Trust owned 319,086 shares of Class A Common Stock and 7,490,024 shares of Class B Common Stock. The property held in the trust is divided into equal portions, each held in separate sub-trust, such that at all times there is one sub-trust in respect of each then living child of Charles F. Dolan. The beneficiary of each sub-trust is the child for whom the sub-trust was set apart, and the descendants of such child (each, a “Beneficiary” and, together, “the Beneficiaries”). As a 2001 Trustee, Lawrence J. Dolan has the shared power to vote and dispose of all shares held by the 2001 Trust. David M. Dolan, as a 2001 Trustee, shares the power to vote and dispose of all shares held by the 2001 Trust. Under certain rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, so long as Lawrence J. Dolan and David M. Dolan retain such powers, each may be deemed to have beneficial ownership thereof for purposes of Schedule 13D reporting.

During the lives of Charles F. Dolan and Helen A. Dolan, distributions of income and principal of any sub-trust can be made in the discretion of Lawrence J. Dolan and David M. Dolan, as Trustees, to any of the Beneficiaries of such sub-trust. Upon the death of the survivor of Charles F. Dolan and Helen A. Dolan, the Trustee shall distribute any remaining trust principal to the child for whom such sub-trust was set apart or if such child is not then living, to such child’s then living descendants, per stirpes. If there are no such living descendants, then the Trustee shall distribute any remaining trust principal 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 sub-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 (i) 30 days following Charles F. Dolan’s death, (ii) on the last day of the calendar year in which such gift is made (or 60 days following the gift, if later), and (iii) on the first day of the subsequent calendar year. A donor may deny any Beneficiary the right of withdrawal with respect to a gift. To the extent of this right of withdrawal, the Beneficiaries may be said to have a direct economic interest in trust assets, including, if applicable, securities of the Issuer which may be contributed as a gift to the 2001 Trust. Currently, no portion of trust assets may be withdrawn by any Beneficiary pursuant to the right of withdrawal.

Except to the extent of the right of withdrawal, Beneficiaries of the 2001 Trust have only a contingent economic interest in the securities of the Issuer held by the 2001 Trust because Lawrence J. Dolan and David M. Dolan, as Trustees thereof have the sole discretion to distribute or accumulate the income and the sole discretion to distribute the principal of the 2001 Trust to the Beneficiaries.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any assignments of any Interim Loan by any Lender thereunder (including Merrill Lynch, BSCL and any Other Interim Loan Bookrunner) on or following the Closing Date shall be governed by the provisions in the section entitled "Assignments and Participations" set forth in the applicable Interim Loan Term Sheet. Upon any such additional Lender issuing its commitment to provide -4- a portion of any of the Credit Facilities, Merrill Lynch and BSCL, in each case shall be released on a pro rata basis from a portion of their commitment in respect of such Credit Facility in an aggregate amount equal to the commitment of such Lender.

Subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph, (a) any agent or arranger titles (including co-agents) awarded to other Lenders for any Credit Facility are subject to the Lead Arrangers' prior approval and shall not entail any role with respect to the matters referred to in this paragraph or in paragraph 1 above without the Lead Arrangers' prior consent, and (b) you agree that no Lender will receive compensation outside the terms contained herein and in the Fee Letter in order to obtain its commitment to participate in any of the Credit Facilities or in any other respect in connection with the financing of the Specified Transactions. It is understood and agreed that, subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph, you may appoint additional arranger titles other than lead arrangers (including co-agents) to other lenders, underwriters, initial purchasers or placement agents in connection with a Credit Facility, provided that (i) no more than two additional bookrunner or equivalent titles or roles may be awarded in connection with any one Credit Facility, (ii) each of (x) Merrill, MLPF&S or their respective affiliates, taken as a whole, and (y) BSC, BSCL or their respective affiliates, taken as a whole, shall be offered equal and no less than 25% of the total economics in connection with each such Credit Facility and (iii) no additional arranger, agent, manager, underwriter, initial purchaser, placement agent or bookrunner shall be offered economics greater than Merrill, MLPF&S, BSC or BSCL in connection with any Credit Facility. It is further understood and agreed that: (a) with respect to any marketing, legal or informational material in connection with the Credit Facilities, either MLPF&S's name or BSC's name shall receive "top-left" placement and (b) MLPF&S and BSC shall be the only joint Lead Arrangers with respect to the Credit Facilities (it being further understood and agreed no other entity shall receive "middle" (between MLPF&S's and BSC's) placement on any such marketing, legal or informational materials in connection with any of the Credit Facilities). The Lead Arrangers (or their respective affiliates) will manage all aspects of the syndication of each Credit Facility (in consultation with you), including decisions as to the selection of potential Lenders to be approached and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which Lenders will participate and the final allocations of the commitments among the Lenders (which are likely not to be pro rata across facilities among Lenders) for each Credit Facility, and will perform all functions and exercise all authority as is customarily performed and exercised in the capacities of lead arranger, book running manager and syndication agent and documentation agent, including selecting counsel for the Lenders and negotiating the Loan Documents. You understand that we intend to commence the separate syndication of each of the Credit Facilities promptly, and you agree actively to assist us in achieving a timely syndication that is reasonably satisfactory to you and us. The syndication efforts will be accomplished by a variety of means, including direct contact during the syndication between senior management, advisors and affiliates of Central Park and its restricted subsidiaries on the one hand, and the proposed Lenders on the other hand, and Central Park and its restricted subsidiaries and affiliates hosting, with us, one or more meetings with prospective Lenders at such times and places as the Lead Arrangers may reasonably request. You agree, upon our request, to (a) provide, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause your affiliates and advisors to provide, to us all -5- information available to you and reasonably requested by us to successfully complete the syndication, including the information and projections (including updated projections) contemplated hereby, and (b) assist, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause your affiliates and advisors to assist, us in the preparation of one or more Confidential Information Memoranda and other marketing materials (the contents of which you shall be solely responsible for and which may include separate "public" and "private" memoranda in customary form as further described below) to be used in connection with the syndication, including using commercially reasonable efforts to make available representatives of Central Park and its restricted subsidiaries, RNS and its restricted subsidiaries and RPP and its restricted subsidiaries for due diligence and road shows. You also agree to use your commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that our syndication efforts benefit materially from your (and your affiliates') existing lending relationships. Each Lead Arranger reserves the right to engage the services of its respective affiliates in furnishing the services to be performed as contemplated herein and to allocate (in whole or in part) to any such affiliates any fees payable to it in such manner as it and its affiliates may agree in their sole discretion. 3. Fees. As consideration for our commitments hereunder and our undertakings to arrange, manage, structure and syndicate the Credit Facilities, you agree to pay or cause to be paid to us the fees set forth in the Fee Letter as and when payable thereunder. 4. Conditions. Our commitments and undertakings hereunder are subject to the conditions set forth elsewhere herein, in the Term Sheets and in Exhibit H attached hereto. 5. Information and Investigations. You hereby represent and covenant that (a) all information and data (excluding financial projections) that have been or will be made available by you, or on your behalf by any of your affiliates, representatives or advisors, to us or any Lender (whether before or after the date hereof) in connection with the Transactions (the "Information"), taken as a whole, is and will be complete and correct in all material respects and does not and will not, taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made and (b) all financial projections, forecasts and other forward-looking information concerning Central Park and its subsidiaries and the Transactions (the "Projections") that have been made or will be prepared by you or on behalf of you by any of your affiliates, representatives or advisors and that have been or will be made available to us or any Lender in connection with the Transactions have been and will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by you to be reasonable. You agree to supplement the Information and the Projections from time to time until the consummation of the Merger and the initial funding under any of the Credit Facilities (the "Closing Date") and, if reasonably requested by us, for a reasonable period thereafter necessary to complete the syndication of the Credit Facilities so that the representation and covenant in the preceding sentence remain correct. In syndicating the Credit Facilities we will be entitled to use and rely primarily on the Information and the Projections without responsibility for independent check or verification thereof. You hereby acknowledge that (a) Merrill Lynch, MLPF&S, BSC and/or BSCL will make available Information and Projections (collectively, "Borrower Materials") to the proposed syndicate of Lenders by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the "Platform") and (b) certain of the proposed Lenders may be "public-side" Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrowers (as defined in the Term Sheets) or their respective securities) (each, a "Public Lender"). You hereby agree that (w) you will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and include a reasonably detailed term sheet among such Borrower Materials and that all such Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked "PUBLIC" which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word "PUBLIC" shall appear -6- prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials "PUBLIC", you shall be deemed to have authorized Merrill Lynch, MLPF&S, BSC, BSCL and the proposed Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrowers or their respective securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws, it being understood that certain of such Borrower Materials may be subject to the confidentiality requirements of the definitive credit documentation; and (y) all Borrower Materials marked "PUBLIC" are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated "Public Lender". Merrill Lynch, MLPF&S, BSC and BSCL shall be entitled, and hereby agree, to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked "PUBLIC" as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated "Public Lender". The provisions of this paragraph are subject to, and do not qualify, our obligations under paragraph 8 below with respect to information. We shall not be liable for or in connection with the transmission of any materials by electronic means. 6. Indemnification. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Merrill Lynch, MLPF&S, BSC, BSCL and each other Lender and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and controlling persons (each of Merrill Lynch, MLPF&S, BSC, BSCL, each other Lender and each such other person being an "Indemnified Party") from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses and liabilities, joint or several, to which any Indemnified Party may become subject under any applicable law, or otherwise related to or arising out of or in connection with this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Term Sheets, the Credit Facilities, the advances under the Credit Facilities, the use of proceeds of any such advances, any part of the Transactions or any related transaction and the performance by any Indemnified Party of the services contemplated hereby and will promptly reimburse each Indemnified Party for any and all expenses (including counsel fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense of any pending or threatened claim or any action or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party and whether or not such claim, action or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of you or any of your subsidiaries, affiliates, security holders or equity holders and whether or not any of the Transactions are consummated or this Commitment Letter is terminated, except to the extent that such loss, claim, damage, cost, expense or liability is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or any Related Person (defined below) of such Indemnified Party. You further agree not to assert any claim against any Indemnified Party for consequential, punitive or exemplary damages on any theory of liability in connection in any way with the transactions described in or contemplated by this Commitment Letter. For purposes hereof, a "Related Person" of an Indemnified Party means (a) any of Merrill Lynch or MLPF&S or any of their respective affiliates, or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons thereof if the Indemnified Party is Merrill Lynch or MLPF&S or any of their affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons, and (b) BSC or BSCL or any of their respective affiliates, or the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons thereof if the Indemnified Party is BSC or BSCL or any of their respective affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons. You agree that, without the prior written consent of Merrill Lynch, MLPF&S, BSC and BSCL (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), neither you nor any of your affiliates or subsidiaries will settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnification has been or could be sought under the indemnification provisions hereof (whether or not any Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (a) includes an unconditional written release in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Merrill Lynch, MLPF&S, BSC and BSCL of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding and (b) does not include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party. -7- In the event that an Indemnified Party is requested or required to appear as a witness in any action brought by or on behalf of or against you or any of your subsidiaries or affiliates in which such Indemnified Party is not named as a defendant, you agree to reimburse such Indemnified Party for all reasonable expenses incurred by it in connection with such Indemnified Party's appearing and preparing to appear as such a witness, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of its legal counsel. 7.

Any application to (x) the Term Loan A Facility shall be applied in order of maturity for the first twelve months after the Closing Date and thereafter pro rata to the remaining scheduled amortization payments in respect thereof, and (y) the Term Loan B Facility shall be applied pro rata to the remaining scheduled amortization payments in respect thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any holder of Term Loans under the Term Loan B Facility may, to the extent that Term Loans are then outstanding under the Term Loan A Facility, elect not to have optional prepayments applied to such holder's Term Loans under the Term Loan B Facility, in which case the aggregate amount of such prepayment so declined shall be applied to the remaining scheduled amortization payments under the Term Loan A Facility pro rata. (B) Revolving Credit Facility. The unutilized portion of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility may be reduced and advances under the Revolving Credit Facility may be repaid at any time, in each case, at the option of the Borrower, in a minimum principal amount and in multiples to be agreed upon, without premium or penalty (except, in the case of LIBOR advances, breakage costs related to prepayments not made on the

4 last day of the relevant interest period).

(i) With respect to net proceeds of the disposition of assets by any restricted subsidiary of CSC or net proceeds of any issuance or incurrence of debt or equity by any restricted subsidiary of CSC in each case that would otherwise be required to be applied as provided above will be applied as set forth above if and only to the extent that (x) such subsidiary is not required to repay its indebtedness (other than intercompany indebtedness) with such net proceeds, (y) there are no contractual or legal restrictions on the ability of CSC to access such net proceeds and (z) no parent of CSC, and neither CSC nor any of its restricted subsidiaries is required under its existing indebtedness (other than intercompany indebtedness) as in effect of the date of the Commitment Letter to repay such indebtedness with such net proceeds.

To the extent that the amount to be applied to the prepayment of Term Loans exceeds the aggregate amount of Term Loans then outstanding, such excess shall be applied to the Revolving Facility to repay the Revolving Loans and to permanently reduce the commitments thereunder; provided, however, that if at the time of such application the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility are equal to or less than $200.0 million ("Threshold"), then such excess shall not be required to permanently reduce the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, and in no event shall such excess permanently reduce the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility below the Threshold.

The Loans under the CSC Senior Credit Facilities will bear interest, at the option of the Borrower, at (a) ABR plus the Applicable Margin or (b) LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin. The "Applicable Margin" with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan A Facility will be (a) prior to the Trigger Date (as defined below), a percentage per annum set forth in Annex I to the Fee Letter and (b) on and after the Trigger Date, determined pursuant to a grid to be determined which will be based on the Total Leverage Ratio (to be defined). The "Applicable Margin" with respect to the Term Loan B Facility will be a percentage per annum set forth in Annex I to the Fee Letter. "Trigger Date" means the first date after the Closing Date on which the Borrower delivers financial statements and a computation of the Total Leverage Ratio (to be defined) for the first fiscal quarter ended at least six months after the Closing Date in accordance with the Credit Agreement. Unless consented to by the Lead Arrangers in their sole discretion, no LIBOR Loans may be elected on the Closing Date or prior to the date 30 days thereafter (unless the completion of the primary syndication of the CSC Senior Credit Facilities as determined by the Lead Arrangers shall have occurred). "ABR" means the higher of (a) the prime rate of interest announced or established by the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent from time to time, changing effective on the date of announcement or establishment of said prime rate changes and (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% per annum.

Letter of Credit fees will be payable for the account of the Revolving Credit Facility Lenders on the daily average undrawn face amount of each Letter of Credit at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility that bear interest at LIBOR in effect at such time, which fees shall be paid quarterly in arrears. In addition, an issuing fee on the face amount of each Letter of Credit equal to a percentage per annum (the "Issuing Fee Percentage") set forth in Annex I to the Fee Letter shall be payable to the Issuing Bank for its own account, which fee shall also be payable quarterly in arrears.

Subject to customary conditions (including that no default shall have occurred and be continuing), the Borrower shall have the right to replace any Lender that (a) charges an amount with respect to contingencies described in the immediately preceding paragraph or (b) refuses to consent to certain amendments or waivers of the RPP Senior Credit Facilities which expressly require the consent of such Lender and which have been approved by the Required Lenders (or, in certain circumstances applicable to a particular tranche, a majority of the applicable

7 tranche of Lenders). Assignments and Participations: Each assignment (unless to another Lender or its affiliates) shall be in a minimum amount of $1.0 million for the Term Loan B Facilities and $5.0 million for the Revolving Credit Facility (unless the Borrower and the Lead Arrangers otherwise consent or unless the assigning Lender's exposure is thereby reduced to zero). Assignments (which may be non-pro rata among the RPP Senior Credit Facilities) shall be permitted with the Borrower's and the Lead Arrangers' consent (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), except that no such consent of the Borrower need be obtained to effect (a) an assignment in respect of the Term Loan B Facilities other than an assignment to a competitor (to be defined) of Central Park, (b) an assignment to any Lender (or its affiliates) or (c) an assignment if any default has occurred and is continuing. Participations shall be permitted without restriction. Voting rights of participants will be subject to customary limitations.

Expenses and Indemnification: All reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Lead Arrangers and the Administrative Agent (and of all Lenders in the case of enforcement costs and documentary taxes) associated with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of any waiver or modification (whether or not effective) of, and the enforcement of, any Credit Document (including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel for the Lead Arrangers) are to be paid by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties will jointly and severally indemnify each of the Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and hold them harmless from and against all costs, expenses (including fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel) and all liabilities arising out of or relating to any litigation or other proceeding (regardless of whether the Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent or any such Lender is a party thereto) that relate to the Transactions or any transactions related thereto, except to the extent finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such person's bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

8 Governing Law and Forum: New York. Waiver of Jury Trial: All parties to the Credit Documents waive the right to trial by jury. Special Counsel for Lead Arrangers: Shearman & Sterling LLP (including local counsel as selected by the Lead Arrangers).

9 ANNEX I Interest Rates and Fees: The Borrower will be entitled to make borrowings based on the ABR plus the Applicable Margin or LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin. The Loans under the RPP Senior Credit Facilities will bear interest, at the option of the Borrower, at (a) ABR plus the Applicable Margin or (b) LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin. The "Applicable Margin" with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility will be (a) prior to the Trigger Date (as defined below), a percentage per annum set forth in Annex I to the Fee Letter and (b) on and after the Trigger Date, determined pursuant to a grid to be determined which will be based on the Total Leverage Ratio (to be defined). The "Applicable Margin" with respect to the Term Loan B Facilities will be a percentage per annum set forth in Annex I to the Fee Letter. "Trigger Date" means the first date after the Closing Date on which the Borrower delivers financial statements and a computation of the Total Leverage Ratio (to be defined) for the first fiscal quarter ended at least six months after the Closing Date in accordance with the Credit Agreement. Unless consented to by the Lead Arrangers in their sole discretion, no LIBOR Loans may be elected on the Closing Date or prior to the date 30 days thereafter (unless the completion of the primary syndication of the RPP Senior Credit Facilities as determined by the Lead Arrangers shall have occurred). "ABR" means the higher of (a) the prime rate of interest announced or established by the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent from time to time, changing effective on the date of announcement or establishment of said prime rate changes and (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% per annum. The prime rate is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent to its customers. "LIBOR" means the rate determined by the Administrative Agent to be available to the Lenders in the London interbank market for deposits in US Dollars in the amount of, and for a maturity corresponding to, the amount of the applicable LIBOR advance, as adjusted for maximum statutory reserves. The Borrower may select interest periods of one, two, three or six months for LIBOR borrowings. Interest will be payable in

arrears (a) in the case of ABR advances, at the end of each quarter and (b) in the case of LIBOR advances, at the end of each interest period and, in the case of any interest period longer than three months, no less frequently than every three months. Interest on all borrowings shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over (a) in the case of LIBOR Loans, a 360-day year and (b) in the case of ABR Loans, a 365-or 366-day year, as the case may be. Commitment fees accrue on the undrawn amount of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Delayed Draw Term Loan B Facility, commencing on the Closing Date. The commitment fee in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Delayed Draw Term Loan B Facility will be a percentage per annum (the "Unutilized Commitment Fee Percentage") set forth in Annex I to the Fee Letter. All commitment fees will be payable in arrears at the end of each quarter and upon any termination of any commitment, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year. Letter of Credit fees will be payable for the account of the Revolving Credit Facility Lenders on the daily average undrawn face amount of each Letter of Credit at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility that bear interest at LIBOR in effect at such time, which fees shall be paid quarterly in arrears. In addition, an issuing fee on the face amount of each Letter of Credit equal to a percentage per annum (the "Issuing Fee Percentage") set forth in Annex I to the Fee Letter shall be payable to the Issuing Bank for its own account, which fee shall also be payable quarterly in arrears. The Lead Arrangers and the Administrative Agent shall receive such other fees as shall have been separately agreed with the Borrower in the fee letter between them.

DOLAN AND JAMES L. DOLAN Exhibit 29 October 8, 2006 Board of Directors Cablevision Systems Corporation 1111 Stewart Avenue Bethpage, New York 11714-3581 Members of the Board of Directors: Charles F. Dolan and James L. Dolan, on behalf of members of the Dolan family group (the "Dolan Family Group") who own approximately 22.5% of the common stock (representing approximately 74.0% of the voting power) of Cablevision Systems Corporation (the "Company"), are pleased to offer to acquire, at a purchase price of $27.00 per share in cash, all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company except for the shares held by the Dolan Family Group. We believe that our offer is fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its public stockholders. In structuring our proposal, we took into account the feedback we received from the special committee and its advisors in connection with the proposal made by the Dolan Family Group in 2005. We are now offering a simpler structure, enhanced value and value certainty. We believe that the public stockholders will find our offer attractive because: - The offer price represents a premium of 17.0% over the average closing price of the Company's Class A common stock for the past ten trading days, which follows substantial price appreciation in recent months. - The offer price represents an 11.3% premium to the 52-week high closing price for the Company's Class A common stock. Cablevision Systems Corporation October 8, 2006 Page 2 - The offer price is 14.9% higher than the 2005 proposal, as valued by the Dolan Family Group at the time and when adjusted for the $10 per share special dividend paid in April 2006. - The all cash nature of the consideration provides value certainty. Under the direction of the current management and Board, Cablevision has led the industry in key measures of performance and has delivered impressive growth in stockholder value in recent years. Since the April dividend alone, the share price has appreciated 31.9%. Our proposal, in addition to providing the public stockholders of the Company with a fair price for - and substantial premium on - their equity, will ensure the Company has the flexibility to meet the challenges of intensifying competition and the risk of new entrants in the years to come. We continue to feel that succeeding in this fiercely competitive environment requires a long-term, entrepreneurial management perspective that is not constrained by the public markets' constant focus on short-term results. We are convinced that private ownership is highly desirable, and we are willing to assume the risks of full ownership and additional leverage to ensure that the Company has the structure and flexibility it needs to continue to grow. Our interest in pursuing this proposal demonstrates the faith we have in the future of the cable and telecommunications business, as well as the strength of the Company's programming and sports assets, including the four national cable networks, the strong regional sports networks and one of the world's finest sports and entertainment arenas - Madison Square Garden. As such, the members of the Dolan Family Group would plan to invest all of their Company shares in this transaction. Those shares would have a value of approximately $1.7 billion, based on the proposed transaction price. In addition to the substantial equity investment from the Dolan Family Group, funds would be provided by committed debt financing from Merrill Lynch & Co. and Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. Copies of the executed commitment letters will be delivered to you under separate cover, and representatives of Merrill Lynch and Bear Stearns are available to discuss the financing or answer any questions you might have. Following this transaction, we expect the Company's senior management team would remain in place, with Charles Dolan continuing to serve as Chairman and Cablevision Systems Corporation October 8, 2006 Page 3 James Dolan continuing to serve as Chief Executive Officer. We also anticipate that we will continue to run the business in accordance with the Company's current practice, with such changes as may be necessary to meet the long-term competitive environment and to realize our business objectives. We expect to maintain the Company's valuable employee base, which we view as one of its most important assets. Given our extensive history and knowledge of the Company, we are well positioned to negotiate and complete the transaction in an expedited manner. We will provide you shortly with a proposed merger agreement. We expect that you will establish a special committee of independent directors to consider our proposal on behalf of the Company's public stockholders and to make a recommendation to the full Board of Directors. We would welcome the opportunity to present our proposal to the special committee as soon as possible and to discuss all aspects of the proposal with the committee and its legal and financial advisors. We do not intend to pursue our proposal without the approval of the special committee. Of course, no binding obligation on the part of the Company or any of the undersigned shall arise with respect to the proposal or any transaction unless and until such time as definitive documentation satisfactory to us and recommended by the special committee and approved by the Board of Directors is executed and delivered. In considering our proposal, you should be aware that we are interested only in pursuing the proposed transaction and will not sell our stake in the Company. We will, of course, promptly file with the SEC an amendment to our Schedule 13D, in compliance with our legal obligations, which will include a copy of this letter. We believe it is appropriate, as well, for us to issue a press release regarding this proposal, which we will do before the opening of trading tomorrow. A copy is attached for your information. Cablevision Systems Corporation October 8, 2006 Page 4 We, as well as our entire team, look forward to working with the special committee and its legal and financial advisors to complete a transaction that is attractive to the Company's public stockholders. Should you have any questions, please contact us or any of our principal advisors. Sincerely, /s/ Charles F. Dolan Charles F. Dolan /s/ James L. Dolan James L. Dolan EX-99.30 6 y2577416exv99w30.txt EX-99.30: PRESS RELEASE Exhibit 30 DOLAN FAMILY GROUP PROPOSES TO ACQUIRE 100% OF PUBLIC INTEREST IN CABLEVISION SYSTEMS CORPORATION ALL-CASH OFFER OF $27 PER SHARE REPRESENTS A 17% PREMIUM OVER AVERAGE CLOSING PRICE OF PAST TWO WEEKS AND MEANINGFUL PREMIUM OVER 52-WEEK HIGH WILL ENABLE COMPANY TO CONTINUE GROWING BUSINESS AND ADDRESS EVOLVING COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE WITH LONG-TERM, ENTREPRENEURIAL PERSPECTIVE BETHPAGE, NEW YORK, OCTOBER 9, 2006 - Charles F. and James L. Dolan, on behalf of members of the Dolan Family Group, today announced that they have proposed to purchase 100 percent of the outstanding publicly held shares of common stock of Cablevision Systems Corporation (NYSE: CVC). Under the proposed transaction, transmitted yesterday in a letter to the Cablevision Board of Directors, public stockholders would receive $27 per share in cash. The proposal values the total equity of Cablevision at approximately $7.9 billion and implies an enterprise value of approximately $19.2 billion. The letter to the Board stated that the Dolan Family Group has taken into account feedback from the special committee and its advisors in connection with the going-private proposal made by the Group in 2005, and is now offering a simpler structure, enhanced value and value certainty. The letter stated several reasons why the Dolan Family Group believes that its offer is fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its public stockholders and that those stockholders will find its offer attractive, including: - The offer price of $27 per share represents a 17 percent premium to the average closing price over the past two weeks, which follows a substantial appreciation of the stock price in recent months. - The offer price also represents a meaningful premium of 11.3 percent to the Company's 52-week high closing price. - The offer price is 14.9 percent higher than the 2005 proposal, as valued by the Dolan Family Group at the time, and when adjusted for the $10 per share special dividend paid in April 2006. - The all-cash consideration provides value certainty. In the letter, the Dolan Family Group said it would finance the transaction, in part, by investing all of its shares in the Company, which would have a value of approximately 1 $1.7 billion, based on the proposed offer price. In addition to this substantial equity investment, the transaction would be financed through debt financing. The Dolan Family Group has received a commitment letter from Merrill Lynch & Co. and Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. with respect to the debt financing necessary to complete the transaction. The total funds necessary to consummate the transaction are expected to be approximately $10.9 billion, including the refinancing of existing credit facilities. Charles and James Dolan said, "Our proposal offers a substantial premium to Cablevision's public stockholders, on top of exceptional returns over the past year, which included the $10 special dividend that the Company paid out to stockholders earlier this year. We believe this proposal reflects the fair value of the public stockholders' interest and an attractive opportunity for them. Our goal in making this proposal is straightforward. As we have said previously, we believe strongly that responding to the intensifying competition in our industry and the risk of new entrants will require a long-term, entrepreneurial management perspective that is not constrained by the constant focus on short-term results demanded by the public equity markets." They continued, "Under the direction of the current management and Board, Cablevision has led the industry in key measures of performance and has delivered impressive growth in shareholder value in recent years. Now, as we move to meet competitive challenges in the years ahead through a new cycle of investment in innovation and the attendant risks, this is a good time to give our public stockholders the opportunity to realize the value of their shares. As a private company, Cablevision will gain the greater flexibility needed to undertake strategic initiatives and develop the next generation of products and services in a rapidly changing consumer marketplace." They concluded, "We are convinced that private ownership is highly desirable, and we are willing to assume the risks of full ownership and additional leverage to ensure that Cablevision has the structure and flexibility it needs to continue to succeed and grow." The Dolan Family Group told the Board in its letter that it expected the Company's senior management team to remain in place, with Charles F. Dolan as Chairman and James L. Dolan as President and Chief Executive Officer. The letter also said that management would continue to run the business substantially in accordance with current practices, maintaining the Company's valuable employee base, with changes as necessary to meet competitive challenges. In its letter to the Board, the Dolan Family Group noted that it anticipates that the Board will again form a special committee of independent directors, which will retain its own legal and financial advisors, to respond to the proposal on behalf of Cablevision's public stockholders. The Dolan Family Group also emphasized in the letter that it has no interest in selling its stake in Cablevision, and that it is interested only in the proposed transaction. 2 The Dolan Family Group is being advised by Merrill Lynch & Co., Bear, Stearns & Co.
