Article 7
Rookie Compensation and Rookie Compensation Pool

Section 2(a)(i)(vi)
Operation

(a)(i)(vi)

In the event of a forfeited selection in a Draft, the bank calculated pursuant to this Section shall be reduced by an amount equal to: (A) the Year-One Formula Allotment for that forfeited selection; multiplied by (B) the Year-One Rookie Compensation Pool (excluding compensatory selections and one-third of the Undrafted Rookie Reservation). The Formula Allotments for these forfeited selections shall not be included in the respective Club’s Year-One Rookie Allocation or Total Rookie Allocation for the applicable League Year. For the avoidance of doubt, because of the forfeited selection, for the applicable League Year, the sum of the Year-One Rookie Allocations for all Clubs shall be less than the Year-One Rookie Compensation Pool, and the sum of the Total Rookie Allocations for all Clubs shall be less than the Total Rookie Compensation Pool.
