Power Your Future.

exclusive neighborhood and wondered what the people

who live in those houses do for a living? How do they

afford it? Are they smarter than you? Do they work

harder? What is their secret?

Many of the people in that neighborhood are no

different from you – except for one thing: they have

learned the invaluable secret about generating income

that has changed their lives forever. They have learned

how to leverage the motivated efforts of others to

create a recurring income for themselves.

Home-based business owners generated over $30 billion

in sales in 2005*. Over 80% of them worked less than 30

hours per week. Many of them have replaced the income

from their full-time jobs and are now free to pursue a

lifestyle they never could have imagined. And so can

you. Achieving incredible financial success as a homebased

entrepreneur starts with two simple but very

important factors:

are often in the largest industries. You want a product

that everyone needs. A product that is easy to explain.

A product that isn’t complicated to sell. A product that

provides more value to your customer.

Some people call it smarts. But all agree that there is

something critical called timing. Your opportunity for

success is greatest when you spot and take advantage

of the window of opportunity. That window is open

widest in early periods.

An incredible economic boom shook the telecommunications

industry following deregulation in 1984.

Hundreds of new companies entered the industry

creating incredible innovations and generating fantastic

savings for consumers. Hundreds of billions of dollars in

new revenue flowed. Fortunes were made by savvy

entrepreneurs who saw the changing landscape and

were willing to venture into new waters.

Today an even larger industry is on the cusp of

sweeping change. Electricity. All across America, state

governments are evaluating the impact of deregulating

their electric monopolies to provide their citizens

with greater choice, lower prices and more innovative

products. Several states now allow competition. Texas

was an early leader. Other states continue to follow. And

consumers are rushing to better choices and lower prices.

Electricity. The product is right. The timing is right.

Ambit Energy is a Retail Electric Provider (REP) based

in Dallas, Texas. Ambit is positioned at the forefront of

electricity deregulation. We have developed a proven

business model that allows anyone to participate in the

dynamic opportunities of energy deregulation.

Regardless of your experience, age or race, we have a

home-based opportunity that can work for you with

great success. And we are looking for entrepreneurs

who share our values and our vision.

Everyone uses electricity. Everyone likes to save money.

By simply helping your friends save money on their

electricity bill by switching their service to Ambit, and

by introducing a few entrepreneurs like yourself to our

home-based income opportunity, you can begin your

own journey to financial independence.

The timing will never be better to brighten your future.

Residual Income: Texas Market

The number of your Pending and Energized in good

standing customers determines the number of levels of

downline customers for which you will be paid CRI.

For instance, you need to personally enroll 10 customers

to qualify for CRI through four levels, and 20 customers

to qualify through all six levels. The number of your

customers is verified on the last day of each month

(11:59 p.m. Central time). Full customer payments must

be received during the month for a customer to count.

Sometimes, customers may be slow to pay or may leave

and therefore won’t count. Ambit wants you to succeed

and will help you while you replace these customers.

If your previous customer count qualified you for a

particular payout level and the latest count now falls

short, your CRI for that level will be held for one month,

allowing you time to re-qualify. If after that second

Ambit also pays more for customers who use more

electricity. This is described in Energy Usage Bands below.

Leadership Bonuses

In addition to Instant Income and Customer Residuals,

the Ambit Energy Compensation Plan allows you to earn

Leadership Bonuses as your new business grows.

There are two types of Leadership Bonuses: Consultant

Leadership Bonuses (CLB) and Customer Residual

Bonuses (CRB). Both bonuses are paid once you qualify

in a Leadership Position. Both bonuses get larger as

you climb from one leadership level to the next.

Earn Consultant Leadership Bonuses (CLB) when a new

Marketing Consultant (MC) enters your leadership

organization at any level and enrolls four (4) Pending or

Energized customer points within four (4) weeks of their

start date. CLB is paid weekly. Your leadership level and

your number of Pending or Energized customer points

will determine the amount of CLB you earn each week.

The minimum requirements are verified each week

(Friday at 11:59 p.m. CT) before CLB is calculated and

paid. If you do not have the required number of

Pending or Energized customers for the leadership

position you have achieved at the time verification is run,

your CLB will be secured in holding status for three (3)

additional verification periods to allow you to re-qualify.

If after three (3) consecutive verification periods you

still do not meet the minimum Pending or Energized

customer requirements for your leadership position all

CLB in hold status will be purged and you will not earn

or accumulate any future CLB for those levels until your

minimum customer requirements are met.
