LOAN AGREEMENT


This Agreement dated as of April 9, 2014, is between Bank of America, N.A. (the "Bank") and Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. (the "Borrower").



	
1.

	
FACILITY NO. 1: LINE OF CREDIT AMOUNT AND TERMS


 








	
1.1

	
Line of Credit Amount.


 








	(a)	During the availability period described below, the Bank will provide a line of credit to the Borrower (the "Line of Credit").  The amount of the Line of Credit (the "Facility No. 1 Commitment") is Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000).






	(b)	This is a revolving line of credit.  During the availability period, the Borrower may repay principal amounts and reborrow them.






	(c)	The Borrower agrees not to permit the principal balance outstanding to exceed the Facility No. 1 Commitment.  If the Borrower exceeds this limit, the Borrower will immediately pay the excess to the Bank upon the Bank's demand.






	
1.2

	
Availability Period.







 


The Line of Credit is available between the date of this Agreement and April 8, 2015, or such earlier date as the availability may terminate as provided in this Agreement (the "Facility No. 1 Expiration Date").


The availability period for this Line of Credit will be considered renewed if and only if the Bank has sent to the Borrower a written notice of renewal for the Line of Credit no less than fifteen (15) days prior to the then-current Facility No. 1 Expiration Date (the "Renewal Notice") and the Borrower has not provided written notice of termination of this Agreement.  If this Line of Credit is renewed, it will continue to be subject to all the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement except as modified by the Renewal Notice.  If this Line of Credit is renewed, the term "Facility No. 1 Expiration Date" shall mean the date set forth in the Renewal Notice as the Facility No. 1 Expiration Date and the same process for renewal will apply to any subsequent renewal of this Line of Credit.  A renewal fee may be charged at the Bank's option; provided that the amount of the renewal fee must be specified in the Renewal Notice.


1.3            Repayment Terms.


 



	(a)	The Borrower will pay interest on June 30, 2014, and then on the last day of each quarter thereafter until payment in full of any principal outstanding under this facility; provided that with respect to amounts bearing interest at an optional interest rate (as described below), the Borrower will pay interest at the end of each applicable interest period.






	(b)	The Borrower will repay in full any principal, interest or other charges outstanding under this facility no later than the Facility No. 1 Expiration Date.  Any interest period for an optional interest rate shall expire no later than the Facility No. 1 Expiration Date.






	(c)	The Borrower may prepay the loan in full or in part at any time.  The prepayment will be applied to the outstanding amounts under the loan as directed by the Borrower.






	
1.4

	
Interest Rate.


 








	(a)	The interest rate is a rate per year equal to the Bank's Prime Rate plus zero percentage points.






	(b)	The Prime Rate is the rate of interest publicly announced from time to time by the Bank as its Prime Rate.  The Prime Rate is set by the Bank based on various factors, including the Bank's costs and desired return, general economic conditions and other factors, and is used as a reference point for pricing some loans.  The Bank may price loans to its customers at, above, or below the Prime Rate.  Any change in the Prime Rate shall take effect at the opening of business on the day specified in the public announcement of a change in the Bank's Prime Rate.





 


 








 



	
1.5

	
Optional Interest Rates.


 







Instead of the interest rate based on the rate stated in the paragraph entitled "Interest Rate" above, the Borrower may elect the optional interest rates listed below for this Facility No. 1 during interest periods agreed to by the Bank and the Borrower.  The optional interest rates shall be subject to the terms and conditions described later in this Agreement.  Any principal amount bearing interest at an optional rate under this Agreement is referred to as a "Portion."  The following optional interest rates are available:



	(a)	The LIBOR Rate plus 0.95 percentage points.






	
2.

	
OPTIONAL INTEREST RATES


 








	
2.1

	
Optional Rates.


 







Each optional interest rate is a rate per year.  Interest will be paid on the last day of each applicable interest period until payment in full of any principal outstanding under this Agreement.  No Portion will be converted to a different interest rate during the applicable interest period.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default under this Agreement, the Bank may terminate the availability of optional interest rates for interest periods commencing after the default occurs.  At the end of any interest period, the interest rate will revert to the rate stated in the paragraph(s) entitled "Interest Rate" above, unless the Borrower has designated another optional interest rate for the Portion.



	
2.2

	
LIBOR Rate.


 







The election of LIBOR Rates shall be subject to the following terms and requirements:



	(a)	The interest period during which the LIBOR Rate will be in effect will be one, two, or three months.  The first day of the interest period must be a day other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which banks are open for business in New York and London and dealing in offshore dollars (a "LIBOR Banking Day").  The last day of the interest period and the actual number of days during the interest period will be determined by the Bank using the practices of the London inter-bank market.






	(b)	Each LIBOR Rate Portion will be for an amount not less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).






	(c)	A LIBOR Rate may be elected only for the entire principal amount outstanding under the applicable facility.






	(d)	The "LIBOR Rate" means the interest rate determined by the following formula.  (All amounts in the calculation will be determined by the Bank as of the first day of the interest period.)





LIBOR Rate =                                                       LIBOR


        (1.00 - Reserve Percentage)


Where,



		(i)	"LIBOR" means, for any applicable interest period, the rate per annum equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (or a comparable or successor rate which is approved by the Bank), as published by Bloomberg (or other commercially available source providing quotations of such rate as selected by the Bank from time to time) at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time two (2) London Banking Days before the commencement of the interest period, for U.S. Dollar deposits (for delivery on the first day of such interest period) with a term equivalent to such interest period.  If such rate is not available at such time for any reason, then the rate for that interest period will be determined by such alternate method as reasonably selected by the Bank.  A "London Banking Day" is a day on which banks in London are open for business and dealing in offshore dollars.





 








 



		(ii)	"Reserve Percentage" means the total of the maximum reserve percentages for determining the reserves to be maintained by member banks of the Federal Reserve System for Eurocurrency Liabilities, as defined in Federal Reserve Board Regulation D, rounded upward to the nearest 1/100 of one percent.  The percentage will be expressed as a decimal, and will include, but not be limited to, marginal, emergency, supplemental, special, and other reserve percentages.






	(e)	The Borrower shall irrevocably request a LIBOR Rate Portion no later than 12:00 noon Nevada time on the LIBOR Banking Day preceding the day on which LIBOR will be set, as specified above.  For example, if there are no intervening holidays or weekend days in any of the relevant locations, the request must be made at least three days before the LIBOR Rate takes effect.






	(f)	The Bank will have no obligation to accept an election for a LIBOR Rate Portion if any of the following described events has occurred and is continuing:






		(i)	Dollar deposits in the principal amount, and for periods equal to the interest period, of a LIBOR Rate Portion are not available in the London inter-bank market;






		(ii)	the LIBOR Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of a LIBOR Rate Portion; or






		(iii)	adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period.






	(g)	Each prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Portion, whether voluntary, by reason of acceleration or otherwise, will be accompanied by the amount of accrued interest on the amount prepaid and a prepayment fee as described below.  A "prepayment" is a payment of an amount on a date earlier than the scheduled payment date for such amount as required by this Agreement.






	(h)	The prepayment fee is intended to compensate the Bank for the funding costs of the prepaid credit, if any.  The prepayment fee will be determined by calculating the funding costs incurred by the Bank, based on the cost of funds at the time the interest rate was fixed, and subtracting the interest income which can be earned by the Bank by reinvesting the prepaid funds at the Reinvestment Rate.  The calculation is defined more fully below.






	(i)	The "Fixed Interest Rate Period" is the period during which the interest rate in effect at the time of the prepayment does not change.  If the Fixed Interest Rate Period does not extend for the entire remaining life of the credit, then the following rules will apply:






		(i)	For any portion of the prepaid principal for which the scheduled payment date is after the end of the Fixed Interest Rate Period, the prepayment fee for that portion shall be calculated based only on the period through the end of the Fixed Interest Rate Period, as described below.






		(ii)	If a prepayment is made on a date on which the interest rate resets, then there will be no prepayment fee.





 


 








 



	(j)	The prepayment fee calculation is made separately for each Prepaid Installment.  A "Prepaid Installment" is the amount of the prepaid principal that would have been due on a particular scheduled payment date (the "Scheduled Payment Date").  However, as explained in the preceding paragraph, all amounts of the credit which would have been paid after the end of the Fixed Interest Rate Period shall be considered a single Prepaid Installment with a Scheduled Payment Date (for the purposes of this calculation) equal to the last day of the Fixed Interest Rate Period.





(k)            The prepayment fee for a particular Prepaid Installment will be calculated as follows:



		(i)	Calculate the monthly interest payments that would have accrued on the Prepaid Installment through the applicable Scheduled Payment Date, if the prepayment had not been made.  The interest payments will be calculated using the Original Cost of Funds Rate.






		(ii)	Next, calculate the monthly interest income which could be earned on the Prepaid Installment if it were reinvested by the Bank at the Reinvestment Rate through the Scheduled Payment Date.






		(iii)	Calculate the monthly differences of the amounts calculated in (i) minus the amounts calculated in (ii).






		(iv)	If the remaining term of the Fixed Interest Rate Period is greater than one year, calculate the present value of the amounts calculated in (iii), using the Reinvestment Rate.  The result of the present value calculation is the prepayment fee for the Prepaid Installment.






	(l)	Finally, the prepayment fees for all of the Prepaid Installments are added together.  The sum, if greater than zero, is the total prepayment fee due to the Bank.





(m)            The following definitions will apply to the calculation of the prepayment fee:



		(i)	"Original Cost of Funds Rate" means the fixed interest rate per annum, determined solely by the Bank, at which the Bank would be able to borrow funds in the Bank Funding Markets for the duration of the Fixed Interest Rate Period in the amount of the prepaid principal and with a term, interest payment frequency, and principal repayment schedule matching the prepaid principal.






		(ii)	"Bank Funding Markets" means one or more wholesale funding markets available to the Bank, including the LIBOR, Eurodollar, and SWAP markets as applicable and available, or such other appropriate money market as determined by the Bank in its sole discretion.






		(iii)	"Reinvestment Rate" means the fixed rate per annum, determined solely by the Bank, as the rate at which the Bank would be able to reinvest funds in the amount of the Prepaid Installment in the Bank Funding Markets on the date of prepayment for a period of time approximating the period starting on the date of prepayment and ending on the Scheduled Payment Date.






	(n)	The Original Cost of Funds Rate and the Reinvestment Rate are the Bank's estimates only and the Bank is under no obligation to actually purchase or match funds for any transaction or reinvest any prepayment. The Bank may adjust the Original Cost of Funds Rate and the Reinvestment Rate to reflect the compounding, accrual basis, or other costs of the prepaid amount. The rates shall include adjustments for reserve requirements, federal deposit insurance and any other similar adjustment which the Bank deems appropriate. These rates are not fixed by or related in any way to any rate the Bank quotes or pays for deposits accepted through its branch system.

FEES AND EXPENSES


 








	
3.1

	
Fees.


 








	(a)	Unused Commitment Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay a fee on any difference between the Facility No. 1 Commitment and the amount of credit it actually uses, determined by the daily amount of credit outstanding during the specified period.  The fee will be calculated at 0.25% per year.





This fee is due on June 30, 2014, and on the last day of each following quarter until the expiration of the availability period.



	(b)	Waiver Fee.  If the Bank, at its discretion, agrees to waive or amend any terms of this Agreement, the Borrower will, at the Bank's option, pay the Bank a fee for each waiver or amendment in an amount advised by the Bank at the time the Borrower requests the waiver or amendment.  Nothing in this paragraph shall imply that the Bank is obligated to agree to any waiver or amendment requested by the Borrower.  The Bank may impose additional requirements as a condition to any waiver or amendment.






	
3.2

	
Expenses.


 







The Borrower agrees to immediately repay the Bank for expenses that include, but are not limited to, filing, recording and search fees, appraisal fees, title report fees, and documentation fees.



	
3.3

	
Reimbursement Costs.


 








	(a)	The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Bank for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses it incurs in the preparation of this Agreement and any agreement or instrument required by this Agreement.  Expenses include, but are not limited to, reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys' fees.






	(b)	Unless specifically stated otherwise in this Agreement, including without limitation Sections 7.16 and 8.4, the Borrower agrees to reimburse the Bank for the cost of periodic field examinations of the Borrower's properties, books and records, at such intervals as the Bank may reasonably require.  The actions described in this paragraph may be performed by employees of the Bank or by independent examiners.






	
4.

	
DISBURSEMENTS, PAYMENTS AND COSTS


 








	
4.1

	
Disbursements and Payments.


 








	(a)	Each payment by the Borrower will be made in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim.  Payments will be made by debit to a deposit account, if direct debit is provided for in this Agreement or is otherwise authorized by the Borrower.  For payments not made by direct debit, payments will be made by mail to the address shown on the Borrower's statement, or by such other method as may be permitted by the Bank.






	(b)	For any payment under this Agreement made by debit to a deposit account, the Borrower will maintain sufficient immediately available funds in the deposit account to cover each debit.  If there are insufficient immediately available funds in the deposit account on the date the Bank enters any such debit authorized by this Agreement, the Bank may reverse the debit.






		(c)	Each disbursement by the Bank and each payment by the Borrower will be evidenced by records kept by the Bank which will, absent manifest error, be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between the Borrower and the Bank.  In addition, the Bank may, at its discretion, require the Borrower to sign one or more promissory notes.





 








 



	
4.2

	
Borrower's Instructions.


 








	(a)	The Bank may honor instructions for advances or repayments given by the Borrower (if an individual), or by any one of the individuals authorized to sign loan agreements on behalf of the Borrower, or any other individual designated by any one of such authorized signers (each an "Authorized Individual").  Any Authorized Individual may also provide instructions to the Bank for the designation of optional interest rates and/or the issuance of letters of credit, if such features are provided under this Agreement. The Bank may honor any such instructions made by any one of the Authorized Individuals, whether such instructions are given in writing or by telephone, telefax or Internet and intranet websites designated by the Bank with respect to separate products or services offered by the Bank. The Bank's obligation to act on such instructions is subject to the terms, conditions and procedures stated elsewhere in this Agreement.






	 (b)	Except as specified elsewhere in this Agreement, in following instructions from an Authorized Individual for advances or repayments, the Bank shall have the right, but not the obligation, to require that any advances be deposited in and repayments be withdrawn from a deposit account owned by the Borrower and held at the Bank.  The Bank may require additional written authorization from the Borrower before processing advances or repayments except as provided in this subparagraph.






	(c)	The Borrower will indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from all liability, loss, and costs in connection with any act resulting from instructions the Bank reasonably believes are made by any Authorized Individual, whether such instructions are given in writing or by telephone, telefax or electronic communications (including e-mail, Internet and intranet websites).  This paragraph will survive this Agreement's termination, and will benefit the Bank and its officers, employees, and agents.






	
4.3

	
Direct Debit.


 







The Borrower agrees that on the due date of any amount due under this Agreement, the Bank will debit the amount due from the Borrower's deposit account(s) with the Bank as designated in writing by the Borrower (the "Designated Account").



	
4.4

	
Banking Days.


 







Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, a banking day is a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks are authorized to close, or are in fact closed, in the state where the Bank's lending office is located, and, if such day relates to amounts bearing interest at an offshore rate (if any), means any such day on which dealings in dollar deposits are conducted among banks in the offshore dollar interbank market.  All payments and disbursements which would be due on a day which is not a banking day will be due on the next banking day.  All payments received on a day which is not a banking day will be applied to the credit on the next banking day.



	
4.5

	
Interest Calculation.


 







Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, all interest and fees, if any, will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.  This results in more interest or a higher fee than if a 365-day year is used.  Installments of principal which are not paid when due under this Agreement shall continue to bear interest until paid.



	
4.6

	
Default Rate.


 







Upon the occurrence of any default or after maturity or after judgment has been rendered on any obligation under this Agreement, all amounts outstanding under this Agreement, including any unpaid interest, fees, or costs, will at the option of the Bank bear interest at a rate which is 2.0 percentage point(s) higher than the rate of interest otherwise provided under this Agreement.  This may result in compounding of interest.  This will not constitute a waiver of any default.


 


 


 


 









	
4.7

	
Taxes.


 







If any payments to the Bank under this Agreement are made from outside the United States, the Borrower will not deduct any foreign taxes from any payments it makes to the Bank.  If any such taxes are imposed on any payments made by the Borrower (including payments under this paragraph), the Borrower will pay the taxes and will also pay to the Bank, at the time interest is paid, any additional amount which the Bank specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield the Bank would have received if such taxes had not been imposed.  The Borrower will confirm that it has paid the taxes by giving the Bank official tax receipts (or notarized copies) within thirty (30) days after the due date.



	
4.8

	
Additional Costs.


 







The Borrower will pay the Bank, on demand, for the Bank's costs or losses arising from any Change in Law which are allocated to this Agreement or any credit outstanding under this Agreement.  The allocation will be made as determined by the Bank, using any reasonable method.  The costs include, without limitation, the following:



	(a)	any reserve or deposit requirements (excluding any reserve requirement already reflected in the calculation of the interest rate in this Agreement); and






	(b)	any capital requirements relating to the Bank's assets and commitments for credit.





"Change in Law" means the occurrence, after the date of this Agreement, of the adoption or taking effect of any new or changed law, rule, regulation or treaty, or the issuance of any request, rule, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) by any governmental authority; provided that (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives issued in connection with that Act, and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a "Change in Law," regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any other agreements required by this Agreement, this Agreement will prevail.
