Performance Units . Performance Units are components used to represent the incremental cash value of the Company.

Subsequent valuations will use the calculated number of units in order to determine the per unit value.

Valuation . Valuations are done by an outside appraiser in conformity with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. Valuations are performed annually unless the Board determines that significant volatility suggests the need for more frequent valuations. The standard value is fair market value.

The valuation should be adjusted for any capital contributions.
