Calculation of the Player Cost Amount and Salary Cap

(a)(iv)

Bundled Rights. If, in future League Years, League Media rights are bundled and sold or licensed with other rights that would be within the Ventures or Local AR “bucket,” the parties will discuss in good faith the appropriate bucket allocation of the revenues for such rights. In the absence of agreement, the issue shall be resolved by an “Allocation Arbitrator,” who shall be jointly selected by the parties. The parties shall each propose an allocation to the Allocation Arbitrator, who will decide which proposed allocation to adopt (i.e., a “baseball-style” arbitration). This Subsection shall not apply to any of the current contracts specified in Subsections (i) and (ii) above.
