Other Compensation

A player will be entitled to receive a signing or reporting bonus, additional Salary payments, incentives, bonuses and such other provisions as may be negotiated between his Club (with the assistance of the Management Council) and the player or his agent in accordance with the terms of his Player Contract. The Club and the player or his agent will negotiate in good faith over such other compensation; provided, however, that a Club will not be required to deal with the player or his agent on a collective or tandem basis for two or more players on that Club.
