(b)

The amount of any such credit to Team Salary in the 2021 League Year shall be offset by an equivalent charge to Team Salary, spread over the 2024–27 League Years in a manner to be determined by the Club. (By way of example, if Club A elects to receive a “credit” to Team Salary for the 2021 League Year of $2,000,000 (i.e., an additional $2,000,000 of Room), Club A may designate $2,000,000 to be offset in the 2024 League Year, or $1,000,000 in the 2025 League Year and $1,000,000 in the 2026 League Year, or in any other manner to be designated by Club A to offset the 2021 League Year Team Salary credit.)
