(ii) Deferred Salary;
(A) "Deferred Salary" means any Paragraph 1 NHL Salary that is
earned during the term of an SPC during which the services
attributable to that Paragraph 1 NHL Salary are performed, but is
not paid until after the expiration of such SPC. By definition,
Deferred Salary that is earned during the term of such an SPC may
not be paid until after the expiration of such SPC. Player Salary
denominated as "Deferred" but payable within the term of the SPC
shall be counted in the League Year in which the Player Salary is
paid and shall not be treated as Deferred Salary. For purposes of
calculating a Club's Upper Limit and Lower Limit, as well as the
Players' Share, Deferred Salary shall be counted as Player Salary in
the League Year in which the Player performs the services for
which it is earned, at the Deferred Salary's present value at 1-Year
LIBOR plus one and one-quarter (1.25) percent at the time the SPC
is registered (unless the Deferred Salary is to be paid with interest,
in which case it shall be counted in the League Year in which the
Player performs the services for which it is earned, at the Deferred
Salary's stated cash amount). Other than Deferred Salary or
Deferred Bonuses as set forth below, any other compensation must
be paid in the year that it is earned.
...
(A) For these purposes, "Deferred Bonuses" means any Bonuses that
are earned during the term of an SPC during which the services
attributable to those Bonuses are performed, but are not paid until
after the expiration of such SPC. By definition, Deferred Bonuses
that are earned during the term of an SPC may not be paid until
after the expiration of such SPC. For purposes of calculating a
Club's Upper Limit and Lower Limit, as well as the Players' Share,
Deferred Bonuses shall be counted as Bonuses in the League Year
in which the Player performs the services for which they are
earned, at their present value at 1-Year LIBOR plus one and onequarter
(1.25) percent of the Deferred Bonuses (unless the
Deferred Bonuses are to be paid with interest, in which case they
shall be counted in the League Year in which the Player performs
the services for which they can be earned, at the stated cash
amount of the Deferred Bonuses). Bonuses denominated as
"Deferred" but payable within the term of the SPC shall not be
permitted.
