Career Compensation Plan

Franchise Earnings
Unicity Franchise The success of any franchise depends on the amount of product or services sold through the franchise. As a Unicity Franchise Partner, you earn income based on the amount of sales generated by you and your extended business team. You may build your business at your own pace, although there are benefits to building your business as quickly as possible. The most successful Franchise Partners focus on expanding their franchise while adding to their business base over time. To better understand the Career Plan, it is recommended you turn to the back of this booklet and review the glossary. Income Streams There are eight different income streams available to each Unicity Franchise Partner: 1. Retail Profit 2. Personal Rebate 3. Fast Start Bonus 4. Director Lifestyle Bonus 5. Infinity Bonus 6. Presidents Club Bonus 7. Additional Franchise Positions 8. Chairmans Club Bonus

Each income stream is earned as you achieve specific volume (sales) levels.

Personal Rebate
You are eligible for a monthly 5% Personal Rebatebeginning in your second month as a Franchise Partneronce your Personal Volume (PV) reaches at least 125 points. If your PV reaches or exceeds 5,000 points in a given month, your Personal Rebate will increase to 30%.
Note: Earnings for Volume generated in a Franchise Partners first Volume Month is paid through the Fast Start Bonus.

Fast Start Bonus


Fast Start Bonus is paid on a new Franchise Partners Personal Volume in their first Calendar Month. You may be eligible to receive a Fast Start Bonus when a new Franchise Partner joins your team and you have qualified for one of the two Fast Start Bonus Levels.

Director Lifestyle Bonus


You will be eligible to receive Director Lifestyle Bonuses (DLB) as you expand your business. The Lump Sum Bonus is earned as you meet the requirements for the rank and confirm that rank for two consecutive months.

Note: A Franchise Partner may earn each bonus only once. There is no time limit for achieving the bonuses.

Infinity Share Bonus


Infinity Share Bonuses are paid beginning with a Franchise Partners second Volume Month. Infinity Shares allow you to be paid on Shares of Volume from your expanded business. There are nine Infinity Shares of 5% available. These Shares are paid on the monthly volume generated by the Franchise Partners in your Downline, starting with their second month. The higher your rank the deeper you are paid Infinity Shares on your Organization. For example, as a Director you are eligible to be paid on the Volume generated on Infinity Share 1, 2 and 3. As a Diamond, you are eligible to be paid on the Volume generated on Infinity Share 1 through 9. Due to the unique Rank Compression feature of the Compensation Plan, you could qualify to earn Infinity Shares on all the Organizational Volume in your Downline Organization, as shares are paid on rank. Please refer to page 12 and 13 for an example. To Qualify for Infinity Share Bonuses, you need to qualify for the respective Franchise rank. All Volume generated by a new Franchise Partner in their first Volume Month is paid through the Fast Start Bonus, not Infinity Shares.

Infinity Share Bonus Example


On the following page is an example of how Infinity Share Bonuses are awarded to the Upline by rank. In this example a Manager on a Diamonds 24th generation has placed a monthly Auto-Refill order for 125 PV. The system searches upline for the next qualified person to receive the available Infinity Share for that rank or higher on that 125 PV. The Infinity Share Bonuses are awarded Upline by rank in the following manner: First Infinity Share is awarded to the first Manager or higher in the Upline (found in generation 23 in the example) Second Infinity Share is awarded to the first Sr. Manager or higher starting from the Franchise Partner that earned the Manager Share (generation 22 in the example) Third Infinity Share is awarded to the first Director or higher starting from the Franchise Partner that earned the Sr. Manager Share (generation 19 in the example) Fourth Infinity Share is awarded to the first Sr. Director or higher starting from the Franchise Partner that earned the Director Share (generation 17) Fifth Infinity Share is awarded to the first Ex. Director Share or higher starting from the Franchise Partner that earned the Sr. Director Share (generation 14) Sixth Infinity Share is awarded to the first Presidential Director or higher starting from the Franchise Partner that earned the Ex. Director Share (generation 11) Seventh Infinity Share is awarded to the Presidential Sapphire or higher starting from the Franchise Partner that earned the Presidential Director Share (generation 9a Presidential Ruby in the example) Eighth Infinity Share is awarded to the first Presidential Ruby or higher starting from the Franchise Partner that earned the Presidential Sapphire Share (generation 3a Presidential Diamond in the example) Ninth Infinity Share is awarded to the first Presidential Diamond or higher starting from the Franchise Partner that earned the Presidential Ruby Share (generation 0the top Presidential Diamond in the example)

12

Although the Presidential Diamond at the top of the organization is guaranteed a to be paid a minimum of nine Infinity Shares, the Infinity Share Bonus structure compresses those generations by rankallowing the Presidential Diamond to be paid on the 24th Generation. This unique compression model allows all Franchise Partners to earn as deep as possible in their Organization depending on their rank.
