It is paid as a lump sum on a date specified in the contract. All of the big UFA contracts had signed the last 2 years had large signing bonuses paid out before the lockout date and low salaries for that year. You get a 10 million signing bonus the day before the lockout starts and you prorate your 2 million dollar salary for that year.
