ARTICLE 19: PER DIEM ALLOWANCE (a) The per diem meal allowance for each Player accompanying his Club while it is away from its home city for the purpose of playing NHL Games shall be $85 for the 2005-06 League Year. In every subsequent League Year that this Agreement is in effect, the per diem meal allowance shall be adjusted at the same rate as the annual change in the U.S. Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). The parties will set the per diem rate for a particular League Year on July 1 of that League Year. By way of example, if the CPI increases by 3% over the 2005-06 League Year, the per diem meal allowance for the 2006-07 League Year shall be increased by 3% rounded to the nearest dollar (i.e. from $85 to $88). If the CPI increases by 4% over the 2006-07 League Year the per diem meal allowance for 2007-08 League Year shall be increased by 4% (i.e. from $88 to $92).
(b) On NHL Game dates away from the Club's home city when game meals are supplied by the Club, the per diem meal allowance shall be reduced by one-half of the amount that would otherwise have been payable.
(c) (i) In the event that a Club leaves its home city for an away NHL Game prior to 12 o'clock noon (local time of that Club), the full amount of the per diem allowance payable with respect to that day shall be paid. In the event that a Club leaves its home city for an away NHL Game after 12 o'clock noon (local time of such Club), only one-half of the per diem allowance payable with respect to that day shall be paid.
(ii) In the event that a Club leaves for its home city from an away NHL Game prior to 12 o'clock noon (local time of that away city), only one-half of the per diem allowance payable with respect to that day shall be paid.
(iii) In the event that a Club leaves for its home city from an away NHL Game after 12 o'clock noon (local time of that away city), the full per diem allowance payable with respect to that day shall be paid.
(iv) In the event that a Club leaves its home city for an away NHL Game after 7:30 p.m. (local time of that Club), no per diem allowance shall be payable with respect to that day.
(v) There shall be no deduction from any per diem allowance by reason of meals provided for on airplanes or other transportation taken by any Club.
