Akea Prosperity Plan
The Akea Prosperity Plan provides you with many ways to earn both part time immediate income as well as long-term,
residual income. Each week Akea pays out a guaranteed fifty percent (50%) of the total company Commissionable
Volume (CV). This amount is paid to qualified Akea Independent Consultants in commissions and bonuses.
Here is a summary of the ways you can receive compensation.

Prosperity Plan Overview
1. Customers
a. Retail Profit
Quickly earn profits by selling Akea products to customers at retail price. You can sell directly or refer customers to your
Akea replicated website to make their purchases. All retail volume is counted towards your Personal Volume (PV).
b. Preferred Customer Bonus (PCB)
Akea offers a Preferred Customer program that is unique and highly rewarding. Preferred Customers are afforded a
significant discount for enrolling in a monthly autoship program. Active Consultants receive 40% in commissions on their
Preferred Customers Commissionable Volume (CV). 20% of Preferred Customer Commissionable Volume (CV) is applied
toward Personal Volume (PV), flows into the Team Volume (TV), and is used for all other Prosperity Plan calculations.
Example: Your Preferred Customer purchases two cans of Essentials for $110/100 CV.
You will receive a $40 PCB (40% of 100 CV).
20 CV is applied to your Personal Volume (PV) as well as the Team Volume (TV).

2. Fast Start Bonus (FSB)
Earn 15% - 20% of the Commissionable Volume (CV) on the enrollment order of everyone you personally sponsor. The amount
of the FSB is dependent on your Personal Volume (PV).
• 100 PV = 20% FSB
• 50 PV = 15% FSB
40% of the Commissionable Volume (CV) on FSB orders flows into the Team Volume (TV) and is used for all other Prosperity Plan
calculations.
Example: If an enrollment pack has 200 CV, you as the sponsor would receive $40 (if active at 100 PV). 80 CV is applied to
Team Volume (TV).

3. Matching Fast Start Bonus (MFSB)
It is important as an Akea Independent Consultant to help those whom you have personally sponsored. Akea will reward you
with a special bonus for this effort called the Matching Fast Start Bonus. When one of your personally sponsored Consultants
sponsors a new Akea Independent Consultant, you earn a 50% match of the FSB they receive. You must be at 100 PV to qualify
for MFSB.
Example: You sponsor Eric. Eric in turn sponsors Joyce. Joyce orders a 200 CV package to start her Akea business. Eric would
receive a $40 FSB for Joyce's order. You would receive a $20 MFSB for Joyce's order which is 50% of Eric's FSB. This
example assumes that you and Eric both qualify with 100 PV. If Eric only qualified with 50 PV and you qualified
with 100 PV, Eric would receive $30 FSB and you would receive $15 MFSB.

4. Team Bonus and Team Leader Bonus
a. Team Bonus (TB)
Success in the Akea Prosperity Plan requires team work and duplication. The Team Bonus has been designed specifically to
facilitate and reward you for these efforts. Simply put, enroll 2 who enroll 2 and duplicate!
You earn the TB when you ( ) sponsor 2 ( ) who each sponsor 2 ( ) (based on personal sponsorship tree) within your first
4 full weeks of joining Akea.

The amount the TB pays is dependent on your Personal Volume (PV).
• 100 PV = $100 TB
• 50 PV = $25TB

Figure 1

Note: You can earn the TB only 1 time.
Everyone (all 7) must be Active with at least 50 PV.
b. Team Leader Bonus (TLB)
The Team Leader Bonus rewards you for teaching the duplication process. You ( ) earn the TLB every time you help one of
your personally sponsored consultants ( ) achieve the Team Bonus. The amount the TLB pays is dependent on your Personal
Volume (PV).
• 100 PV = $100 TLB
• 50 PV = $25 TLB

Figure 2

Note: There is no limit to how many times you can earn the TLB. You earn it every time one of your personally sponsored
consultants achieves the TB.


5. Team Commissions
The real potential of the Akea Prosperity Plan opens up once you begin to build a team and start earning Team Commissions.
Team Commissions are a residual override paid on the team of Consultants in your
placement tree. This organization, based on a "binary" (meaning 2), is comprised of
two legs, your pay leg and your strong leg (the pay leg has the lesser amount of
volume and the strong leg has the greater amount of volume). Those under you will
include, but are not limited to, everyone you personally sponsored and those they
sponsor. You, your sponsor, or anyone else above you in the placement genealogy
may place Consultants in your organization in either one of your legs (known as
spillover). Your Team Volume (TV) is the sum total of the Personal Volume (PV) of all
Consultants in your placement tree.
You are eligible to receive Team Commissions of 10-% to 20% (see Table 1 for details)
once you are Active with 50 PV and qualified (personally sponsor someone on your
left and right legs in your placement tree and they are each Active with at least
50 PV). Team Volume (TV) will accumulate and carry over from week to week
provided you remain Active. When you accumulate at least 300 Pay Leg Volume
(PLV) and Strong Leg volume, Team Commissions will be paid. Once paid, any
leftover volume on your strong leg will carry over provided you remain Active. If you Figure 3
do not remain Active during a qualification period the volume on both the Pay Leg
and Strong Leg will be reset to zero.
Example: Everyone in Figure 3 has 100 PV this week. You have 700 TV on your right leg and 400 TV on your left leg. You receive a
Team Commission of $40 (10% of the 400 Pay Leg Volume [PLV]).
You may earn up to $25,000 per week in Team Commissions.

Table 1

6. Matching Bonus (MB)
You can earn a Matching Bonus on any Akea Consultant you personally sponsored, their personally sponsored Consultants, and
so on for up to 5 generations—no matter which placement leg they're in. The MB pays up to 20% of each generation's Team
Commissions.
Matching Bonus: Weekly earning
Paid on Generations of Senior Director and Higher potential per
# Generations Paid 1 2 3 4 5 individual being matched
Executive Director (ED) 20% $500
Regional Director (RD) 20% 20% $1,500
National Marketing Director (NMD) 20% 20% 20% $3,000
Global Marketing Director (GMD) 20% 20% 20% 20% 20% $5,000

Table 2
The MB is determined by generations in your personal sponsorship tree. A Senior Director Generation is the basis upon which
the Matching Bonus is paid. The first Senior Director Generation is the first Paid-As Senior Director or higher encountered in


each leg in your personal sponsorship tree. The next Paid-As Senior Directors or higher encountered below the first ones in the
leg would be considered a 2nd Senior Director Generation.

7. Leadership Pool
Akea guarantees a weekly payout of 50% of total company Commissionable Volume (CV). The Leadership Pool is based on a
floating percentage and is distributed weekly. The percentage is determined after all other commissions and bonuses in the
Prosperity Plan are calculated and is funded with whatever is available up to the 50%. Those who wish to participate must
qualify by being Paid-As a Regional Director or higher.
Each participant will receive a prorated share of the pool based on his or her Pay Leg Volume (PLV) compared to the total
combined Pay Leg Volume of all those participating in the pool that week. For example, if the total combined Pay Leg Volume
(PLV) of all those participating in the pool equals $200,000 in the week, and Sam has a Pay Leg Volume (PLV) of $4,000, he
would receive 2% of the Leadership Pool that week.

8. Expense Allowance
Paid-As Regional Directors and above are eligible to receive the following Expense Allowance for use in building their Akea
business.
• Regional Director ......................... $ 500/month
• National Marketing Director......... $ 750/month
• Global Marketing Director ............ $1,000/month
Expense Allowance will be paid weekly based upon the following formula:
Weekly Expense Allowance = Month Expense Allowance * 12/52
Note: To receive the Expense Allowance you must be qualified at applicable title for 6 out of 8 rolling weeks.

9. Founders' Club
The Founders' Club will be an exclusive club reserved for Akea's top performing Consultants. The Founders' Club will be limited
to 25 members who are eligible to be Paid As Founders.
Qualifications for the Founders' Club are as follows:
• The first 15 Founders' Club Members qualified as of March 18, 2012.
• The next 5 Founders’ Club Members will qualify by being Paid As Regional Director (RD) for at least 4 out of 8 rolling weeks
AND have a minimum of 150 active Consultants in their Pay Leg in each qualifying week.
• Akea will set the Founders' Club Qualifications for the final 5 spots at its sole discretion.
• The granting of Founders’ Club Membership is subject to review and approval by Akea.
• A Charter Member is a Founders' Club Member who qualified by the commission week ending July 3, 2011.
After the initial qualification for the Founders' Club, a Consultant will be "Paid-As a Founder" when the Consultant's Paid-As Title
is at or above his/her Founders' Club Qualifications Title in a given commission period.
Founders' Club Pool
• Each rolling 4 weeks that a new company record for Commissionable Volume (CV) is achieved, the Founders' Club Pool will
be funded with 10% of the difference between the old and the new record, up to 3% of the company's Commissionable
Volume (CV) for that commission period. If no Founder qualifies for this pool, the money is flushed (no carryover pool
amount).
• A Founders' Club member will receive a portion of the pool if he/she is qualified to be Paid-As a Founder in that commission
period. The Consultant's individual percentage of the weekly Founders' Club Pool is based on his/her Personal Sponsorship
Tree Volume (PSTV) compared to the total of all qualified Founders' PSTV.
• Once a Founder, if a Consultant is not qualified to be Paid-As a Founder at least four times in a 26 week rolling period,
he/she permanently loses his/her ability to participate in the Founders' pool but does not lose the status as a Founder (for
recognition).
• In any week where the Founders' Club Pool is paid out, no individual recipient may receive more than 25% of the pool. Any
unpaid pool amounts will not be paid out.
• Founders' Club Pool volume is USA only.

Prosperity Plan Guarantee
Akea will payout 50% of company total Commissionable Volume (CV) – GUARANTEED!
The following rules will be used to guarantee the 50% payout.
a. Leadership Pool: Will be funded with whatever is available after all other commissions and bonuses have been paid up to
the 50%. The Leadership Pool will be funded with a minimum of 3% of total company Commissionable Volume (CV).
b. Matching Bonus: Will be reduced proportionally if required to keep the overall payout at 50%, however this will not be
reduced below 3% of total company Commissionable Volume (CV).
c. Team Commissions: Will be reduced proportionally for Paid as Senior Directors and higher if required to keep the overall
payout at 50%. Team Commissions will not be reduced below 10% for any rank.


Definitions
Active A Consultant must maintain at least 50 Personal Volume (PV) monthly to be considered Active. If a Consultant
is not active, he/she receives no commissions or bonuses. 100 PV is required monthly to be Paid-As a
Senior Director or higher.
Carry Over Volume Excess or unused Left and/or Right Leg volume is called Carry Over Volume (COV). This occurs when the Team
(COV) Commission threshold of 300 PLV is achieved in the weaker leg but there is additional volume in the stronger
leg on which the distributor is not paid that week. Carry Over Volume will also occur when the Pay Leg is less
than 300 PLV and both legs will accrue Carry Over Volume to the next week. The Commissionable Volume left
over at the end of the week in either or both Placement Tree Legs is carried over to the next week provided
the Consultant is Active. If a Consultant fails to meet the minimum monthly Active requirement then all
Positive COV will be flushed in both legs.
When the Team Commissions are paid on the Pay Leg Volume (PLV), an equal amount of the PLV will be
subtracted from the Strong Leg Commissionable Volume for Carry Over purposes.
Carry over volume will accrue up to 100,000 (one hundred thousand) CV.
Commissionable Each inventory item has a Commissionable Volume (CV) assigned to it. All commission percentages apply to
Volume (CV) this volume. Pay Leg Volume (PLV) is based on CV.
Pay Leg This is the Leg (Placement Tree) with the lesser of total Commissionable Volume (CV) for a Consultant. This
will include the Commissionable Volume (CV) and Carry Over Volume (COV) of that Leg. The other leg will be
referred to as the Strong Leg. See also the 'Strong Leg' definition.
Pay Leg Volume (PLV) The Commissionable Volume (CV) of everyone in a Consultant's Pay Leg. In addition, Personal Volume (PV) in
excess of 100 PV per week will be added to the Pay Leg Volume (PLV).
Personal Sponsorship Your personal sponsorship tree starts with the people you personally sponsor and grows with the ones they
Tree sponsor.
Personal Sponsorship The Commissionable Volume (CV) of everyone in a Consultant's Personal Sponsorship Tree.
Tree Volume (PSTV)
Personal Volume (PV) The total Commissionable Volume (CV) sold and purchased by a Consultant and his/her personal Customers
and Preferred Customers in the current week. Any Personal Volume (PV) in excess of 100 PV will automatically
be included in the Consultant's Pay Leg Volume (PLV) that week.
Placement Tree The genealogy based on a "binary" (meaning 2) that has a Left and Right leg on which the Team Commissions
are based. One Leg in the Placement Tree will be the Pay Leg because its Commissionable Volume (CV) will be
less than the Strong Leg. The Placement Tree is used ONLY for the calculation of the Pay Leg Volume (PLV) and
the Team Commissions. It is NOT used for the leg requirements of each title in the career path. One must
have 1 Active personal recruit on the left and 1 Active personal recruit on the right of the Placement Tree to
be eligible for Team Commissions.
Preferred Customer Preferred Customers are customers who have signed up for Autoship. 20% of the Commissionable Volume
(CV) from a Preferred Customer will be applied to the Personal Volume (PV) of the sponsoring Consultant (not
100%). 20% of PC CV will flow into Team Volume (TV).
Requalification Policy Badge titles for Executive Director and higher are retained for 52 weeks following any week in which you
qualify. For example, if you qualify for your title in the first week of June, you will keep your badge title until
the last week of May of next year (assuming 52 weeks). If, prior to the first week of June of next year, you
qualify again in the second week of September, you will keep your title until the first week of September of
next year (assuming 52 weeks have passed). Title demotions will occur in the 53rd week without qualification.
The title that you will be demoted to in that 53rd week is the title that you qualify for in that period.
Sr. Director Generation A Senior Director Generation is the basis upon which the Matching Bonus is paid. The first Senior Director
Generation is the first Paid-As Senior Director encountered in each leg in a Consultant's personal sponsorship
tree. The next Paid-As Senior Directors encountered below the first ones in the leg would be considered a 2nd
Senior Director Generation. There will often be Consultants who are not Paid-As Senior Directors or above
between an upline Consultant and a downline Senior Director. These intervening Consultants are not
considered an SD Generation because their Paid-As Title is less than Senior Director. The Senior Director
Generation is always based on the Paid-As Title.
Strong Leg This is the Leg (Placement Tree) with the greater of total Commissionable Volume (CV) for a Consultant
compared to the lesser or Pay Leg that week. This will include the Commissionable Volume (CV) and Carry
Over Volume (COV) of that leg. The other leg will typically be referred to as the Pay Leg or Weak Leg. See also
the 'Pay Leg' and 'Carry Over Volume' definitions.
Team Commissions Once a Consultant accumulates at least 300 Pay Leg Volume (PLV), the Consultant will receive a percentage of
their PLV based on their Paid-As Title. See also 'Carry Over Volume' and 'Pay Leg Volume'.
Team Volume (TV) The sum total of the Personal Volume (PV) of all Consultants in your placement tree.
