 ### BIFFUD Tithe
 2% of the gross income for any BIFFUD project shall be retained by the company and considered general operating funds.  It's really the least you could do.  In addition, 0.4% of the gross income for any BIFFUD effort (corporate or project based) shall be set aside into our "Grown Up Pants" fund in order to pay local business privilege taxes.
 
+In addition to these fees, the Hive Mind should specify an additional "overhead" tax percentage to be retained by the company and added to the operating expense account.  Updating the universal or project specific overhead percentage requires a vote of the Hive Mind as described in the voting section.

 This tithe applies to money earned through sales, contract agreements, donations, and any other way that cash could be given to a project.  Project owners are welcome to contribute more than the 2% if they are willing and able.

 ### Company Canoe
 During the final Plotting Session of each fiscal year the Corporate Overlords must consider a vote on the purchase of a Company canoe, to be named and labeled the "BIFS BIFFUD Canoe".  If ever approved, the Corporate Overlords must update this agreement with a record of the achieved milestone as well as the identification of a new capitalistic goal and a new name.
