NU SKIN ENTERPRISES, INC.

 DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN


PREAMBLE


Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc., (the "Company") has previously established the Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan").  The purpose of the Plan is to provide a select group of management, highly compensated employees, or Directors of the Company (and certain affiliates) with the opportunity to defer a portion of their compensation.  The Plan is intended to constitute an unfunded "top hat" plan described in Section 201(2), 301(a)(3), and 401(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA").  As a "top hat" plan, the Plan is not subject to ERISA's eligibility, vesting, funding, or fiduciary responsibility requirements.  The Plan has made a notice filing with the United States Department of Labor (the "DOL") and is required to provide information to the DOL on request.


The Plan has been, and shall continue to be, administered in good faith compliance with Section 409A and interim guidance issued thereunder from December 15, 2005 until January 1, 2008.  This Plan was first amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2008 to comply with final regulations issued under Section 409A of the Code and later on January 1, 2009, to change the vesting schedule and payment terms applicable to Participants who are employed with the Company on or after January 1, 2009


The Plan is hereby amended and restated effective January 1, 2015, to clarify that scheduled withdrawals are only allowed for Participant Contributions, to clarify that death benefits under the Plan only apply to Participants and not former Participants, and to make other minor changes to reflect the final regulations under Section 409A.

ARTICLE 2

 ELIGIBILITY



	
 

	
2.1.General.  For purposes of Title I of ERISA, the Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan of deferred compensation covering a select group of management, highly compensated employees, and Directors.  As a result, participation in the Plan shall be limited to Employees who are properly included in one or all of these categories.  The Plan Administrator shall designate the individuals who are eligible to participate in the Plan.  The Plan Administrator, in the exercise of its discretion, may exclude an Employee who otherwise meets the requirements of this Section 2.1 from participation in the Plan if it concludes that excluding the Employee is necessary to satisfy these requirements.  The Plan Administrator also may exclude an Employee who otherwise meets the requirements of this Section 2.1 for any other reason, or for no reason, as the Plan Administrator deems appropriate.


 








	
 

	
2.2. Participation.  Each Employee who is designated as eligible to participate in the Plan by the Plan Administrator may become a Participant by completing and signing an enrollment form provided by the Plan Administrator and delivering the form to the Plan Administrator. The Employee must designate on the form the amount of his Deferral Contributions and must authorize the Company or an Affiliate to reduce his Compensation in an amount equal to his Deferral Contributions.


 








	
 

	
2.3.Timing of Participation.  After an Employee has been selected by the Plan Administrator to participate in the Plan for the first time (and does not participate in or has not previously participated in another voluntary deferral plan of the Company or an Affiliate), the Employee has 30 days to notify the Plan Administrator whether he will participate in the Plan.  If the Employee timely notifies the Plan Administrator of his intent to participate in the Plan, the Employee's participation will commence on the first payroll period following or coinciding with the first day of the calendar month after the Plan Administrator is so notified.  If the Employee does not timely notify the Plan Administrator of his intent to participate in the Plan, the Employee's participation may commence on the first payroll period following or coinciding with the first day of any later Plan Year by notifying the Plan Administrator prior to the first day of such Plan Year and provided further that the Plan Administrator determines that the Employee remains eligible to participate in the Plan under Section 2.1.


 








	
 

	
2.4.Discontinuance of Participation.  Once an Employee is designated as a Participant, he will continue as such for all future Plan Years unless the Plan Administrator specifically discontinues his participation.  The Plan Administrator may discontinue an individual's participation in the Plan at any time for any or no reason.  If an individual's participation is discontinued, the individual will no longer be eligible to make future deferral elections or receive Company Contributions.  The Employee will not be entitled to receive a distribution, however, until the occurrence of one of the events listed in Article VI, or as permitted in Article VII.

ARTICLE 3

 DEFERRAL ELECTIONS



	
3.1. 

	
 Elections to Defer Compensation.


 







3.1.1.            Deferral of Base Salary.  For any Plan Year, a Participant may elect to defer a portion of the Base Salary otherwise payable to him.  Any such deferrals shall be in whole percentages or a specific dollar amount of the Participant's Base Salary, as specified in the Participant's Participation Agreement.


 


3.1.2.            Deferral of Bonuses.  A Participant may also elect to defer a portion of any Bonus which might be payable to him by the Company.  Any such deferrals shall be in whole percentages or a specific dollar amount of the Participant's Bonus, as specified in the Participant's Participation Agreement.


 


3.1.3.            Limitations on Deferrals.  A Participant may elect to defer up to 80% of Participant's Base Salary and 100% of Participant's Bonus for each Plan Year, provided that the total amount deferred by a Participant shall be limited in any calendar year, if necessary, to satisfy any employment tax, income tax and employee benefit plan withholding requirements as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Plan Administrator.  There is no minimum deferral amount.  The Plan Administrator reserves the right to change such limits from time to time.


 


3.1.4.            Duration of Compensation Deferral Election.  An Employee's initial election to defer Compensation must be made within the time frame established by the Plan Administrator, which shall be prior to the taxable year in which the election relates and is to be effective with respect to Compensation earned for services performed after such deferral election is processed.  Such election shall specify the time and method of distribution of the annual deferral amount in accordance with Articles VI and VII.  A Participant may increase, decrease or terminate a deferral election with respect to Compensation for any subsequent Plan Year by filing a new election within the time frame established by the Plan Administrator but in no event later than December 31 in the year prior to the beginning of the next Plan Year, which election shall be effective on the first day of the next following Plan Year.  In the absence of a Participant making a new election, the last election on file will apply to deferrals for the new Plan year.  In the case of an employee who first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan after January 1, 2006 (and does not participate in or has not previously participated in another voluntary deferral plan of the Company or an Affiliate), such Employee shall have 30 days from the date he becomes eligible to make an election with respect to Compensation earned for services performed subsequent to the election.  Such election shall be for the remainder of the Plan Year (and future Plan Years, unless subsequently changed prior to the commencement of a given Plan year) in the event the Plan Year has commenced.  Such election shall specify the time and method of distribution of the annual deferral amount in accordance with Articles VI and VII.


 


 


 


 


 



7







 


3.1.5.            Elections Other Than Initial Election.  Any Employee or Director who has terminated a prior Compensation deferral election may elect to again defer Compensation by completing and signing an enrollment form provided by the Plan Administrator and delivering the form to the Plan Administrator within the time frame established by the Plan Administrator but in no event later than December 31 of the year prior to the beginning of the Plan Year to which such deferral election relates.  An election to defer Compensation must be filed in a timely manner in accordance with Section 3.1(d).  Such election shall apply to Compensation for services performed in the Plan Year to which such deferral election relates.  Such election shall specify the time and method of distribution of the annual deferral amount in accordance with Articles VI and VII.


 



	
3.2.

	
 Company Contribution.  On or before the end of each fiscal year of the Company, the Compensation Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, an amount, if any, to be credited to each Participant's Account.


 








	
3.3.

	
 Investment Elections.


 








	
(a)

	
At the time of making the deferral elections described in Section 3.1, Participant shall designate, on a form provided by the Plan Administrator, the types of investment funds in which Participant's Account will be deemed to be invested for purposes of determining the amount of earnings and losses to be credited to that Account.  In making the designation pursuant to this Section 3.3, Participant may specify that all or any percentage of his Account is to be deemed invested, in whole percentage increments, in one or more of the types of investment funds deemed to be provided under the Plan, as communicated from time to time by the Plan Administrator.  A Participant may change the designation made under this Section 3.3 by filing an election, on a form provided by the Plan Administrator, on a daily basis (limited to 4 per month).  If a Participant fails to elect a type of fund under this Section 3.3, he or she shall be deemed to have elected the money market type of investment fund.


 








	
(b)

	
Although a Participant may designate the type of investments, the Plan Administrator shall not be bound by such designation.  The Plan Administrator may select from time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion, commercially available investments of each of the types communicated by the Plan Administrator to the Participant pursuant to Section 3.3(a) above to be the Funds.  The Interest Rate of each such commercially available investment fund shall be used to determine the amount of earnings or losses to be credited to Participant's Account under Article IV.

ARTICLE 4

 DEFERRAL ACCOUNTS



	
 

	
4.1.  Deferral Accounts.  The Plan Administrator shall establish and maintain a Deferral Account for each Participant under the Plan.  Each Participant's Deferral Account shall be further divided into separate subaccounts ("investment fund subaccounts"), each of which corresponds to an investment fund elected by the Participant pursuant to Section 3.3(a).  A Participant's Deferral Account shall be credited as follows:


 








	
(a)

	
Within a reasonable time after amounts are withheld and deferred from a Participant's Compensation, the Plan Administrator shall credit the investment fund subaccounts of the Participant's Deferral Account with an amount equal to Compensation deferred by the Participant in accordance with the Participant's election under Section 3.3(a); that is, the portion of the Participant's deferred Compensation that the Participant has elected to be deemed to be invested in a certain type of investment fund shall be credited to the investment fund subaccount corresponding to that investment fund;


 








	
(b)

	
Each business day, each investment fund subaccount of a Participant's Deferral Account shall be credited with earnings or losses in an amount equal to that determined by multiplying the balance credited to such investment fund subaccount as of the prior day plus contributions credited that day to the investment fund subaccount by the Interest Rate for the corresponding fund selected by the Company pursuant to Section 3.3(b).


 








	
(c)

	
In the event that a Participant elects for a given Plan Year's deferral of Compensation to have a Scheduled Withdrawal, all amounts attributed to the deferral of Compensation for such Plan Year shall be accounted for in a manner which allows separate accounting for the deferral of Compensation and investment gains and losses associated with such Plan Year's deferral of Compensation.


 








	
 

	
4.2.  Company Contribution Account.  The Plan Administrator shall establish and maintain a Company Contribution Account for each Participant under the Plan.  Each Participant's Company Contribution Account shall be further divided into separate investment fund subaccounts corresponding to the investment fund elected by the Participant pursuant to Section 3.3(a).  A Participant's Company Contribution Account shall be credited as follows:


 








	
(a)

	
On the third business day after a Company Contribution, the Plan Administrator shall credit the investment fund subaccounts of the Participant's Company Contribution Account with an amount equal to the Company Contribution, if any, applicable to that Participant, that is, the proportion of the Company Contribution, if any, which the Participant elected to be deemed to be invested in a certain type of investment fund shall be credited to the corresponding investment fund subaccount; and

Each business day, each investment fund subaccount of a Participant's Company Contribution Account shall be credited with earnings or losses in an amount equal to that determined by multiplying the balance credited to such investment fund subaccount as of the prior day plus contributions credited that day to the investment fund subaccount by the Interest Rate for the corresponding Fund selected by the Company pursuant to Section 3.3(b).


 








	
 

	
4.3.  Schedule a Accounts for Pre‐Existing Deferred Compensation Obligations.  Prior to the Effective Date of the Plan, the Company and/or certain of its Affiliates had entered into non‐qualified deferred compensation arrangements with certain Participants employed by the Company and/or its Affiliates.  The terms of such arrangements are set forth in individual "plans" or agreements signed by the Company and/or an Affiliate and the employee.  The deferred compensation arrangements identified on Schedule A attached hereto ("Schedule A Arrangements") are incorporated herein by reference.  It is intended that the Schedule A Arrangements will comply with Code Section 409A .  Effective January 1, 2005, the rights and obligations of the parties to those arrangements will be governed by the terms of this Plan, and will not be governed by the terms of the Schedule A Arrangements, except as otherwise provided hereafter.  The Plan Administrator will establish and maintain under this Plan a "Schedule A Account" for each Participant who is party to a Schedule A Arrangement ("Schedule A Participant') and will credit to such Schedule A Account for each Schedule A Participant the value as of January 1, 2006 of the respective Schedule A Participant's Compensation Account(s) as established under the applicable Schedule A Arrangement.  For greater clarity, generally the Compensation Accounts under the Schedule A Arrangements are divided into two sub‐accounts (Employee Compensation Sub‐Account and  Company Compensation Sub‐Account), and this distinction will be maintained under the Schedule A Accounts.  The Company Compensation Sub‐Account will continue to vest in accordance with the terms of the applicable Schedule A Arrangement.  In addition, the Plan Administrator may further divide the sub‐accounts under the Schedule A Accounts into separate investment fund sub‐accounts corresponding to the investment fund elected by the Participant pursuant to Section 3.3(a).  Schedule A Participants will elect, prior to December 31, 2006, the form of distribution for their Schedule A Accounts and such elections will comply with IRC Section 409A and applicable guidance thereunder.  If a Schedule A Participant has not designated a form or payment for his or her Schedule A Account on or before December 31, 2006, the form of payment designated in the applicable Schedule A Arrangement will be the default form of payment for such Schedule A Account(s).  After December 31, 2006, any change in the form of payment as to a Schedule A Account must be in accordance with the requirements  of Section 6.5(f) of this Plan respecting election changes for forms of payment.  The timing of distributions of Schedule A Accounts will be governed by the terms of this Plan.

4.5.  Preservation of Accounts.  A Participant shall not be deemed to have had a Separation from Service for purposes of preservation of all Deferral Accounts and Company Contribution Accounts in the event of a bona fide approved leave of absence from the Company for a prolonged period of time for:


 








	
(a)

	
Service as a full‐time missionary for any legally recognized ecclesiastical organization, or

the amount of Participant's Deferral Account, including any earnings thereon; and

The Plan Administrator may require and rely upon such proofs of death and the right of any Beneficiary to receive benefits under this Section 6.3 as the Plan Administrator may reasonably determine, and its determination of death and the right of such Beneficiary to receive payment is binding and conclusive upon all persons.

Time and Method of Distribution of Benefits.  Payment shall commence within a Reasonable Time following the earliest to occur of the following events in (a), (b) or (c) below:


 








	
(a)

	
Termination.


 








	
(1)

	
Distribution of Deferral Account. Payment of amounts vested and credited in a Deferral Account to a Participant who is entitled to benefits under Section 6.1 will commence within a Reasonable Time following the Participant's Separation from Service (except that, in the event that the Participant is a "Specified Employee," as defined under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A‐1(i), payment to the Participant will begin no earlier than six months following Participant's Separation from Service (or upon the Participant's death, if earlier)).

Payment of amounts vested and credited in a Company Contribution Account to a Participant who is entitled to benefits under Section 6.1 (subject to any forfeiture under Section 5.3) will commence within a Reasonable Time following the one-year anniversary of the Participant's Separation from Service.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant's Separation from Service occurs at or after the Participant's attainment of age 60 or after the Participant has completed twenty years of employment, then payment will commence within a Reasonable Time following the Participant's Separation from Service (except that, in the event that the Participant is a "Specified Employee," as defined under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A‐1(i), payment to the Participant will begin no earlier than six months following Participant's Separation from Service (or upon the Participant's death, if earlier)).

(d)

	
Death After Commencement of Payments.  If a Participant dies after the day on which his benefit payments commence but before the complete distribution to such Participant of the benefits payable to him under the Plan, any remaining benefits will continue to be distributed to the Participant's Beneficiary in the same manner as elected by the Participant under Section 6.5(e).  Payments to the Beneficiaries entitled to payments pursuant to Section 6.3 will be made within a Reasonable Time following the death of Participant.


 








	
(e)

	
Form of Payment.  Any distribution paid from the Plan to a Participant or Beneficiary from a Participant's Account will be paid in cash.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.4, such distribution will be paid in either a lump sum payment or in monthly, quarterly, or annual installments over a period not to exceed 15 years; provided that if the value of the Participant's Account at the time of distribution is less than $50,000, such distribution shall be paid in the form of a lump sum distribution.  With respect to each annual deferral amount (including both Participant deferrals and Company contribution amounts for such Plan Year), a Participant must elect which form of payment to receive in his initial or annual deferral election form, which election may be changed by the Participant at any time so long as (i) the election does not take effect until at least 12 months after the date in which the election is made, (ii) the first payment for which the election is made will be deferred for a period of 5 years from the date such payment would otherwise have been made, and (iii) the change is received by the Plan Administrator at least 12 months prior to the Participant's first scheduled payment date.  In the absence of a Participant making a distribution election, the default form of payment shall be lump sum.  Participant's Account shall continue to be credited with earnings pursuant to Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of the Plan until all amounts credited to his Account under the Plan have been distributed.


 








	
 

	
6.6. Designation of Beneficiary.  Each Participant has the right to designate, on forms supplied by and delivered to the Plan Administrator, a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to receive his benefits in the event of his death.  For each Participant who is married, his Beneficiary will be deemed to be his spouse, unless the Participant's spouse consents to the Participant's Beneficiary designation to the contrary.  Such consent must be in writing, must acknowledge the effect of the Beneficiary designation and the spouse's consent thereto.  Subject to the foregoing, each Participant may change his Beneficiary designation from time to time in the manner described above and the change will be effective upon receipt by the Plan Administrator, whether or not the Participant is living at the time the notice is received.  There is no liability on the part of the Plan Administrator with respect to any payment authorized by the Plan Administrator in accordance with the most recent valid Beneficiary designation of the Participant in the Plan Administrator's possession before receipt of a more recent and valid Beneficiary designation.  If no designated Beneficiary is living when benefits become payable, or if there is no designated Beneficiary, the Beneficiary will be Participant's spouse; or if no spouse is then living, such Participant's issue, including any legally adopted child or children, in equal shares by right of representation; or if no such designated Beneficiary and no such spouse or issue, including any legally adopted child or children, is living upon the death of a Participant, or if all such persons die prior to the full distribution of such Participant's benefits, then the Beneficiary shall be the estate of the Participant.

6.7.  Payments to Disabled.  If a person entitled to any payment  is under a legal disability, or in the sole judgment of the Plan Administrator is otherwise unable to apply such payment to his own interest and advantage, the Plan Administrator in the exercise of its discretion may make any such payment in any one or more of the following ways:  (a) directly to such person, (b) to his legal guardian or conservator, or (c) to his spouse or to any person charged with the legal duty of his support, to be expended for his benefit.  The decision of the Plan Administrator will in each case be final and binding upon all persons in interest.


 








	
 

	
6.8.  Underpayment or Overpayment of Benefits.  In the event that, through misstatement or computation error, benefits are underpaid or overpaid, there is no liability for any more than the correct benefit sums under the Plan.  Overpayments may be deducted from future payments under the Plan, and underpayments may be added to future payments under the Plan, subject to applicable limitations under Section 409A of the Code.


 








	
 

	
6.9.  Inability to Locate Participant.  In the event that the Plan Administrator is unable to locate a Participant or Beneficiary within two years following the required payment date, the amount allocated to the Participant's Account shall be forfeited.  If, after such forfeiture, the Participant or Beneficiary later claims such benefit, such benefit shall be reinstated without interest or earnings.

ARTICLE 7

 WITHDRAWALS



	
 

	
7.1.  Scheduled Withdrawals.


 








	
(a)

	
In the case of a Participant who has elected a Scheduled Withdrawal for a distribution while still in the employ of the Company, such Participant shall receive his Distributable Amount, but only with respect to those vested deferrals and earnings thereon that have been elected by Participant to be subject to the Scheduled Withdrawal in accordance with this Section 7.1(a) of the Plan.  A Participant's Scheduled Withdrawal can be no earlier than two years from the last day of the Plan Year for which Participant's deferrals are made.  Any distribution made pursuant to a Scheduled Withdrawal shall be made in either a lump‐sum payment or annual installment payments up to 5 years.  These payments will be made in February of the year(s) selected.


 








	
(b)

	
A Participant may extend the Scheduled Withdrawal for any Plan Year, provided such extension occurs at least one year before the Scheduled Withdrawal and is for a period of not less than five years from the Scheduled Withdrawal.  In the event a Participant separates from service with the Company prior to a Scheduled Withdrawal for any reason, then the portion of Participant's Account associated with a Scheduled Withdrawal that has not occurred prior to such separation, shall be distributed, along with any remaining portion of the annual deferral amount not subject to the Scheduled Withdrawal, in the form selected by the Participant in accordance with Section 6.5.  If no such election was made under Section 6.5 for such annual deferral amount, such Scheduled Withdrawal shall be paid in a lump sum.


 







For purposes of Section 7.1, a Participant may only elect a Scheduled Withdrawal for amounts included in Participant's Deferral Account and not for amounts included in the Company Contribution Account.








	
 

	
7.2.  Hardship.  In the event of an unforeseeable financial emergency, a Participant may make a written request to the Plan Administrator for a hardship withdrawal from his Account.  For purposes of this Plan, an "unforeseeable financial emergency" is defined as a severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant or a dependent (as such term is defined in Section 152(a) of the Code) of the Participant, loss of the Participant's property due to casualty, or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant.  The granting of a Participant's request for a hardship withdrawal shall be left to the absolute discretion of the Plan Administrator and the Plan Administrator may deny such request even if an unforeseeable financial emergency clearly exists.  A request for a hardship withdrawal must be made in writing at least 30 days in advance, on a form provided by the Plan Administrator, and must be expressed as a specific dollar amount.  The amount of a hardship withdrawal may not exceed the lesser of the amount required to meet Participant's unforeseeable financial emergency or Participant's vested Account balance.  A hardship withdrawal will not be permitted to the extent that the hardship is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, liquidation of the Participant's assets to the extent that such liquidation would not itself cause a severe financial hardship, or by the cessation of Deferral Contributions.









 


 


 


 



17







 


 


 




	
 

	
7.3.  Acceleration of Benefits.  The Plan Administrator may accelerate the distribution of a Participant's vested Account balance in order to (a) satisfy a domestic relations order; (b) pay employment taxes on amounts deferred under the Plan; (c) permit an automatic lump sum payment of not more than $10,000 upon the termination of a Participant's entire interest in the Plan; or (d) any other permitted acceleration under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereof, including a Change of Control.  In the event an accelerated distribution is requested by a Participant to satisfy a domestic relations order, the Plan Administrator shall make payments to someone other than Participant, as directed by the qualified domestic relations order.


 








	
 

	
7.4. Crediting of Withdrawals.  Withdrawals and other distributions shall be charged pro rata to the Funds in which the Account of the Participant is invested, pursuant to his designation under Sections 4.1 and 4.2 hereof.

ARTICLE 10

 CLAIM REVIEW PROCEDURE



	
 

	
10.1.  Initial Claims.  A Participant or Beneficiary entitled to benefits need not file a written claim to receive benefits.  If a Participant, Beneficiary or any other person (all of whom are referred to in this Section as a "Claimant") is dissatisfied with the determination of his benefits, eligibility, participation or any other right or interest under this Plan, such person may file a written statement setting forth the basis of the claim with the Plan Administrator.  The Plan Administrator will notify the Claimant of the disposition of the claim within 90 days after the request is filed with the Plan Administrator.  The Plan Administrator may have an additional period of up to 90 days to decide the claim if the Plan Administrator determines that special circumstances require an extension of time to decide the claim and the Plan Administrator advises the Claimant in writing of the need for an extension (including an explanation of the special circumstances requiring the extension) and the date on which it expects to decide the claim.  If, following the review, the claim is denied, in whole or in part, the notice of disposition shall set forth:


 








	
(a)

	
the specific reason(s) for denial of the claim;


 








	
(b)

	
reference to the specific Plan provisions upon which the determination is based;

10.2.  Appeal of Adverse Benefit Determination.


 








	
(a)

	
Within 60 days after receiving the written notice of the disposition of the claim described in paragraph (a), the Claimant, or the Claimant's authorized representative, may appeal such denied claim.  The Claimant may submit a written statement of his claim (including any written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim) and the reasons for granting the claim to the Plan Administrator.  The Plan Administrator shall have the right to request of and receive from the Claimant such additional information, documents or other evidence as the Plan Administrator may reasonably require.  If the Claimant does not request an appeal of the denied claim within 60 days after receiving written notice of the disposition of the claim as described in paragraph (a), the Claimant shall be deemed to have accepted the disposition of the claim and such written disposition will be final and binding on the Claimant and anyone claiming benefits through the Claimant, unless the Claimant shall have been physically or mentally incapacitated so as to be unable to request review within the 60‐day period.  The appeal shall take into account all comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the Claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such documents, records or other information were submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination or the initial review.









 


 


 


 


 


 



23







 


 




	
(b)

	
A decision on appeal to the Plan Administrator shall be rendered in writing by the Plan Administrator ordinarily not later than 60 days after the Claimant requests review.  A written copy of the decision shall be delivered to the Claimant.  If special circumstances require an extension of the ordinary period, the Plan Administrator shall so notify the Claimant of the extension with such notice containing an explanation of the special circumstances requiring the extension and the date by which the Plan Administrator expects to render a decision.  Any such extension shall not extend beyond 60 days after the ordinary period.  The period of time within which a benefit determination on review is required to be made shall begin at the time an appeal is filed in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b)(1) above, without regard to whether all the information necessary to make a decision on appeal accompanies the filing.


 







If the appeal to the Plan Administrator is denied, in whole or in part, the decision on appeal referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph (b) shall set forth:








	
(1)

	
the specific reason(s) for denial of the claim;


 








	
(2)

	
reference to the specific Plan provisions upon which the determination is based;


 








	
(3)

	
a statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the Claimant's claim for benefits; and


 








	
(4)

	
a statement of the Claimant's right to bring a civil action.


 








	
 

	
10.3.  Right to Examine Plan Documents and to Submit Materials..  In connection with the determination of a claim, or in connection with review of a denied claim or appeal pursuant to this Section, the Claimant may examine this Plan and any other pertinent documents generally available to Participants relating to the claim and may submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim for benefits.  The Claimant also will be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the Claimant's claim for benefits with such relevance to be determined in accordance with Section 10.4 (Relevance).

10.4.  Relevance.  For purpose of this Section, documents, records, or other information shall be considered "relevant" to a Claimant's claim for benefits if such documents, records or other information:


 








	
(a)

	
were relied upon in making the benefit determination;


 








	
(b)

	
were submitted, considered, or generated in the course of making the benefit determination, without regard to whether such documents, records or other information were relied upon in making the benefit determination; or


 








	
(c)

	
demonstrate compliance with the administrative processes and safeguards required pursuant to this Section regarding the making of the benefit determination.


 








	
 

	
10.5.  Decisions Final; Procedures Mandatory.  To the extent permitted by law, a decision on review or appeal shall be binding and conclusive upon all persons whomsoever.  To the extent permitted by law, completion of the claims procedures described in this Section shall be a mandatory precondition that must be complied with prior to commencement of a legal or equitable action in connection with the Plan by a person claiming rights under the Plan or by another person claiming rights through such a person.  The Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, waive these procedures as a mandatory precondition to such an action.


 








	
 

	
10.6.  Time for Filing Legal or Equitable Action.  Any legal or equitable action filed in connection with the Plan by a person claiming rights under the Plan or by another person claiming rights through such a person must be commenced not later than the earlier of:  (1) the shortest applicable statute of limitations provided by law; or 2 years from the date the written copy of the Plan Administrator's decision on review is delivered to the Claimant in accordance with Section 10.2 (Appeal of Adverse Benefit Determination).

ARTICLE 11

 LIMITATION OF RIGHTS, CONSTRUCTION



	
 

	
11.1.  Limitation of Rights.  Neither this Plan, any Trust Agreement, nor membership in the Plan shall give any employee or other person any right except to the extent that the right is specifically fixed under the terms of the Plan.  The establishment of the Plan shall not be construed to give any individual a right to be continued in the service of the Company or as interfering with the right of the Company to terminate the service of any individual at any time.


 








	
 

	
11.2.  Construction.  The masculine gender, where appearing in the Plan, shall include the feminine gender (and vice versa), and the singular shall include the plural, unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary.  Headings and subheadings are for the purpose of reference only and are not to be considered in the construction of this Plan.  If any provision of this Plan is determined to be for any reason invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.  All of the provisions of this Plan shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah.

ARTICLE 12

LIMITATION ON ASSIGNMENT; PAYMENTS TO LEGALLY

 INCOMPETENT DISTRIBUTEE



	
 

	
12.1.  Anti‐Alienation Clause.  No benefit which shall be payable under the Plan to any person shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, charge or otherwise dispose of the same shall be void.  No benefit shall in any manner be subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of any person, nor shall it be subject to attachment or legal process for or against any person, except to the extent as may be required by law.


 








	
 

	
12.2.  Permitted Arrangements.  Section 12.1 shall not preclude arrangements for the withholding of taxes from benefit payments, arrangements for the recovery of benefit overpayments, arrangements for the transfer of benefit rights to another plan, or arrangements for direct deposit of benefit payments to an account in a bank, savings and loan association or credit union (provided that such arrangement is not part of an arrangement constituting an assignment or alienation).  Additionally, Section 12.1 shall not preclude arrangements for the distribution of the benefits of a Participant or Beneficiary pursuant to the terms and provisions of a "domestic relations order" in accordance with such procedures as may be established from time to time by the Plan Administrator.


 








	
 

	
12.3.  Payment to Minor or Incompetent.  Whenever any benefit which shall be payable under the Plan is to be paid to or for the benefit of any person who is then a minor or determined by the Plan Administrator to be incompetent by qualified medical advice, the Plan Administrator need not require the appointment of a guardian or custodian, but shall be authorized to cause the same to be paid over to the person having custody of the minor or incompetent, or to cause the same to be paid to the minor or incompetent without the intervention of a guardian or custodian, or to cause the same to be paid to a legal guardian or custodian of the minor or incompetent if one has been appointed or to cause the same to be used for the benefit of the minor or incompetent.

ARTICLE 13

 AMENDMENT, MERGER, AND TERMINATION



	
 

	
13.1.  Amendment.  The Company shall have the right at any time, by an instrument in writing duly executed, acknowledged and delivered to the Plan Administrator, to modify, alter or amend this Plan, in whole or in part, prospectively or retroactively; provided, however, that the duties and liabilities of the Plan Administrator and any Trustee hereunder shall not be substantially increased without its written consent; and provided further that the amendment shall not reduce any Participant's interest in the Plan, calculated as of the date on which the amendment is adopted.  If the Plan is amended by the Company after it is adopted by an Affiliate, unless otherwise expressly provided, it shall be treated as so amended by such Affiliate without the necessity of any action on the part of the Affiliate.  Any Affiliate or other corporation adopting this Plan hereby delegates the authority to amend the Plan to the Company.  An Affiliate or other corporation that has adopted this Plan may terminate its future participation in the Plan at any time.


 








	
 

	
13.2.  Merger or Consolidation of Company.  The Plan shall not be automatically terminated by the Company's acquisition by or merger into any other employer, but the Plan shall be continued after such acquisition or merger if the successor employer elects and agrees to continue the Plan.  All rights to amend, modify, suspend, or terminate the Plan shall be transferred to the successor employer, effective as of the date of the merger.


 








	
 

	
13.3.  Termination of Plan or Discontinuance of Contributions.  It is the expectation of the Company that this Plan and the payment of contributions hereunder will be continued indefinitely.  However, continuance of the Plan is not assumed as a contractual obligation of the Company, and the right is reserved at any time to terminate this Plan or to reduce, temporarily suspend or discontinue contributions hereunder; provided, however, that the termination of the Plan shall not adversely affect any Participant or Beneficiary who has become entitled to the payment of any benefits under the Plan as of the date of termination.  Section 409A of the Code generally prohibits the acceleration of the payment of benefits under the Plan.  As a result, except as otherwise permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix), the termination of this Plan may not result in the acceleration of any payment to any Participant or Beneficiary.


 








	
 

	
13.4.  Limitation of Company's Liability.  The adoption of this Plan is strictly a voluntary undertaking on the part of the Company and shall not be deemed to constitute a contract between the Company and any employee or Participant or to be consideration for, an inducement to, or a condition of the employment of any employee.  A Participant, employee, or Beneficiary shall not have any right to retirement or other benefits except to the extent provided herein.

ARTICLE 14

 GENERAL PROVISIONS



	
 

	
14.1. Status of Participants as Unsecured Creditors.  All benefits under the Plan shall be the unsecured obligations of the Company as applicable, and, except for those assets which may be placed in any Trust Fund established in connection with this Plan, no assets will be placed in trust or otherwise segregated from the general assets of the Company or each Company, as applicable, for the payment of obligations hereunder.  To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments hereunder, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.


 








	
 

	
14.2.  Uniform Administration.  Whenever in the administration of the Plan any action is required by the Plan Administrator, such action shall be uniform in nature as applied to all persons similarly situated.


 








	
 

	
14.3.  Heirs and Successors.  All of the provisions of this Plan shall be binding upon all persons who shall be entitled to any benefits hereunder, and their heirs and legal representatives.


 








	
 

	
14.4.  Section 409A.  Under no circumstances may the time or schedule of any payment made or benefit provided pursuant to this Plan be accelerated or subject to a further deferral except as otherwise permitted or required pursuant to regulations and other guidance issued pursuant to Section 409A of the Code and the provisions of this Plan.  If a payment is not made due to a dispute with respect to such payment, the payment may be delayed in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(g).  If the Company fails to make any payment under this Plan, either intentionally or unintentionally, within the time period specified in the Plan, but the payment is made within the same calendar year, such payment will be treated as made within the time period specified in the Plan pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(d).  This Plan shall be operated in compliance with Section 409A of the Code and each provision of the Plan shall be interpreted, to the extent possible, to comply with Section 409A of the Code.  Nevertheless, the Company cannot, and does not, guarantee any particular tax effect or treatment of the amounts due under the Plan. Except for the Company's responsibility to withhold applicable income and employment taxes from compensation paid or provided to the Participants, the Company will not be responsible for the payment of any applicable taxes on compensation paid or provided to any Participant.
