beginning with the date such Contract, Extension or Renegotiation
is signed, covers four (4) or more Seasons, including one (1) or
more Seasons commencing after such player will reach or has

(4) Seasons, the aggregate Salaries in such Over 36 Contract
for Seasons commencing with the fifth Season shall be
attributed to the prior Seasons pro rata on the basis of the
Salaries for such prior Seasons.

(iii) If a Qualifying Veteran Free Agent who is age 32, 33 or

on waivers as of the July 1 prior to such Season, then the
Salaries of the player for such Season and the subsequent two (2)
or fewer Seasons covered by the Contract (including any Zero Year)
shall, on such July 1, be aggregated and attributed in equal shares
to each of such three (3) or fewer Seasons.

Contract pursuant to this Section 3(a)(2) only, Seasons shall be
deemed to commence on October 1 and conclude on the last day of
the Salary Cap Year.

(viii) "Zero Year" means, with respect to an Over 36 Contract,

been attributed, in accordance with subsection (a)(2)(i), (ii),
(iii) or (iv) above, to prior Seasons of the Contract. "First Zero
Year" means, with respect to an Over 36 Contract, the earliest
Season in which the Salary called for under the Contract has been
