Stream Energy Achieves Record Three-Fold Increase in New Associates

Ignite Helps Texans Create Their Own Economic Stimulus Plan
DALLAS--(Business Wire)--
Dallas-based Stream Energy reported today that it has seen a tripling in new
Associates with the company`s marketing arm, Ignite, from last quarter 2008 to
first quarter 2009.

The growth reflects a national trend in the direct sales industry. The Direct
Selling Association reports that at least 15 million people work in direct
sales. This compares to 2003, when 13.3 million Americans were in direct sales.
The increase in the number of people discovering the direct sales industry comes
as the economy continues to sag and thousands of people are saying "no" to
future layoffs.

These new entrepreneurs join Ignite Independent Associates like Eric Johnson,
who works full-time at an Irving, Texas, car dealership and signed up with
Ignite in late 2008 after his income dipped substantially. The results so far?
"I would say `excellent,`" enthused Eric, who adds that he has been able to
maintain his pre-recession income levels.

Ignite Founder and Stream Energy Senior Managing Director Chris Domhoff noted
that working with Ignite helps Associates earn the money they need right now,
plus provides a road to success if they want to turn direct sales into a
full-time career.

"Our Independent Associates find that there are three key components that make
owning an Ignite business a success: The Associates help their customers
understand the deregulated energy market; they provide a service that most
customers use every day; and they don`t have to carry any inventory," said
Chris.

Stream Energy (www.streamenergy.net) was formed four years ago, after electric
deregulation in Texas. Stream Energyis on track to achieve $1 billion in annual
revenues in 2009, making it one of the fastest growing companies in U.S.
business history. To put the growth in perspective, it took Walmart 18 years to
reach the billion dollar milestone; eBay and Yahoo seven years; and Google six
years.
