I don't know the nuances of that, admittedly. Maybe you're right. But it's still $6M in dead money. And it still locks you in to contracts that are very difficult to get out of. Flowers is grossly overpaid right now and there's not much we can do about it. That's the kind of thing that happens. These kinds of contracts "guarantee" a lot more money on the back end than they do the front end.
