Legal Question in Immigration Law in Texas

Hi,

I was on H1 Status till from Jun-2008 till Dec-2009. My H1 petition & Visa got expired in Jul-2010. If new employer files my H1 Petition in Jul-2014, Will it be cap exempted to get the remainder period of H1 (as employer is filing within 6yrs from my last H1 Status maintained)?

Thanks and appreciate your reply.
