GUARANTEED TO OUTPERFORM "ACES" & ANY OTHER SERVICE Or We'll Pay Up to $1,000 of Your Next Electricity BILL New Jersey legislation encourages school districts to seek out the lowest possible price on electricity. Services such as the Alliance for Competitive Energy Service (ACES) have been created as a means of reducing electricity costs via bulk electricity purchases. But did you know that you are not required to use ACES to procure energy? Your only state requirement is that you receive energy-related goods and services at a cost less than or equal to the cost achieved by participants in ACES. EMEX guarantees that our reverse auction platform will get you the lowest possible price on energy - a rate lower than ACES or any other such service could achieve - or we will pay as much as $1,000 toward your next electricity bill.* We can make this guarantee because we offer something much better than bulk buying; we offer customized bids in a live auction environment that promotes healthy competition and drives down prices every time. EMEX Reverse Auctions Streamline RFPs Let EMEX Reverse Auctions bring suppliers to you in a 10-minute real-time auction, which is conducted online in our elegantly easy-to-use interface. Like a traditional RFP without the hassle Up to 15 energy suppliers may bid for your contract Includes 1-on-1 help from an EMEX rep All bids are apples to apples Over $20M already saved in NJ Get a savings estimate before you begin * Prior to holding an EMEX Reverse Auction, the potential customer (customer) must provide a Quote to Beat (QTB) price in the form of a supplier quote sheet. The QTB must reflect the same start date and account numbers to be used in the EMEX Reverse Auction. The QTB must be a current price reflecting present market conditions. The customer must also provide a current bill for all meters. The customer must sign a letter of exclusivity (LOE) with EMEX prior to holding the reverse auction so that EMEX can coordinate the auction with all appropriate energy service providers. After the reverse auction, if EMEX has not generated a rate that matches or beats the QTB, EMEX will pay up to $1,000 toward the submitted bill copy (QTB energy bill provider) upon receiving proof that the customer has contracted with the supplier of the QTB. Proof to include a copy of the signed contract and a bill copy that reflects the QTB price. Actual payment is calculated based on the customer s annual usage. For every 1,000,000 kwh the customer consumes annually, EMEX will pay $100, with a maximum of $1,000.

EMEX Reverse Auctions are transparent. They take place in real-time. You, your board and other key decision makers can watch every bid and counterbid as they occur. Each participating supplier, equipped with their own unique and secure portal, watches exactly the same screens as they track and chart every bid, moment by moment; suppliers cannot see the names of the other suppliers bidding, but can continually outbid the competition.
