6 Cash Rewards Pool A Contributor s share of cash rewards is based on the number of Annual and Perennial Units they hold. Annual/Perennial Unit Accrual Schedule = Annual Unit = Perennial Unit A total of 5 AP/year is required to earn your first Annual Unit and 5 AP/year to earn your first Perennial Unit. Of the 0% of revenue that is distributed back to Contributors, 50% goes to the Annual Dividend Pool and the other 50% goes to the Perennial Dividend Pool. IMPORTANT: Annual Units are earned on an annual basis, meaning that at the start of every year you begin with zero (0) units. Perennial Units never go away, meaning that they accumulate year after year. 5 % Annual Dividend Pool 0 % annual revenue 5 % Perennial Dividend Pool 5 AP/year = 5 AP/year = + 5 AP/year = 55 AP/year = 5 AP/year = + 75 AP/year = 5 AP/year = 95 AP/year = + 5 AP/year = 5 AP/year = 5 AP/year = + Continuing in 0 AP increments with Perennial Units being given in 0 AP increments (e.g., at 5, 95, 5, 55...)
