 4.2. Provision of Confidential Information. Irrespective of the Term of Employment, and in
consideration of the Employee’s promises in Section 4.3 of this Agreement, the Employee acknowledges that the Company has provided Employee with access to Confidential Information, including (but not limited to) the new Confidential

 5.1. Definition of Work
Product. As used in this Agreement, the term “Work Product” means all patents and patent applications, all inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analyses, drawings, reports, creative works,
discoveries, software, computer programs, modifications, enhancements, know-how, product, formula or formulations, concepts and ideas, and all similar or related information (in each case whether or not patentable), all copyrights and copyrightable
works, all trade secrets, confidential information, and all other intellectual property and intellectual property rights that (in any case above) are conceived, reduced to practice, created, developed or made by the Employee, either alone or with
others, in the course of employment with the Company (including, without limitation, any such employment before the Effective Date). 
 5.2.
Ownership and Assignment of Work Product. The Employee hereby agrees that all Work Product will be the exclusive property of the Company, and in consideration of this Agreement, without further compensation, hereby assigns, and (as
necessary) agrees to assign, to the Company all right, title, and interest to all Work Product that: (a) relates to: (i) all or any aspect of the Company Parties’ actual or anticipated business, research, and development or existing

provide such documentation and provide such other assistance as is necessary to or reasonably requested by the Company or its agents or counsel to obtain
such patent, copyright, or other protection. The Employee shall maintain adequate written records of the Work Product, in such format as may be specified by the Company, and make such records available to, as the sole property of, the Company at all
times. The Employee shall not file any patent or copyright applications related to any Work Product except with the written consent of the CEO. 
 SECTION 6. 
 NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION 
 6.1. Consideration. In consideration of the Confidential Information and specialized training being provided to Employee as stated in
Section 4 of this Agreement, and other valuable consideration as stated in this Agreement, including (without limitation) the business relationships, Company goodwill, customer and vendor relationships, and work experience that the Employee
will have the opportunity to obtain, use and develop under this Agreement, the Employee agrees to the restrictive covenants stated in this Section 6. 
 6.2. Acknowledgements. 
 a. Ancillary Agreement. The Employee acknowledges and agrees
that the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 6 are ancillary to and part of an otherwise enforceable agreement, such being the agreements concerning Confidential Information and other consideration as stated in this Agreement.

 b. Valuable Information. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Confidential Information and specialized training provided
by the Company is highly valuable to the Company and, therefore, that the Company’s investment in the training and the protection and maintenance of the Confidential Information constitutes a legitimate interest to be protected by the Company
by the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 6. 
 c. Unique Relationships with Customers and Associates. The Employee
acknowledges and agrees that (i) in the highly competitive business in which the Company is engaged, personal contact is of primary importance in securing new and retaining present Associates and Customers; (ii) the Company has a
legitimate interest in maintaining its relationships with its Associates and Customers; and (iii) it would be unfair for the Employee to solicit the business of the Company’s Associates and Customers, exploiting the personal relationships
the Employee develops with the Company’s Associates and Customers by virtue of the Employee’s employment by the Company. 
 d.
Reasonableness. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that at the time that the restrictive covenants of this Section 6 are made, the limitations as to time, geographic scope, and activity to be restrained, as described herein, are
reasonable and do not impose a greater restraint than necessary to protect the good will and other legitimate business interests of the Company, including (without limitation) Confidential Information (including, without limitation, trade secrets),
customer and vendor relationships, and goodwill. 
  

 Page 7 of 18 








 e. Termination. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee has carefully read this
Agreement and has given careful consideration to the restraints imposed upon Employee by this Agreement, and consents to the terms of the restrictive covenants in this Section 6 in conjunction with the provisions in this Agreement for the
termination of his employment, with no expectation or promise of employment for a substantial period of time. 
 f. Post-Termination
Enforcement. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that, based on the benefits to Employee and new consideration as recited herein, the restrictive covenants of this Section 6, as applicable according to their terms, shall remain in full
force and effect even in the event of the resignation or termination of his employment under this Agreement for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary or with or without Cause. 
 g. Other Employment. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that (i) in the event of the resignation or termination of Employee employment
under this Agreement, Employee experiences and capabilities are such that he can obtain gainful employment without violating this Agreement, in a business engaged in other lines and/or of a different nature, without Employee incurring undue
hardship; and (ii) the enforcement of a remedy under this Section 6 by way of injunction will not prevent the Employee from earning a livelihood. 
 6.3. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. 
 a. Non-Competition During Employment.
During the Employment Period, the Employee shall not engage in any other business or employment which may detract from Employee’s full performance of Employee’s duties hereunder or which competes in any manner with the Company, and the
Employee shall not directly or indirectly render any services of a business, commercial or professional nature, to any other Person without the Company’s prior written consent. Further, during employment, the Employee shall not directly or
indirectly contact, solicit, entice, sponsor or accept any of the Associates into, or in any way promote to any such Associates opportunities in marketing programs of any direct sales company or organization other than the Company. 
 b. Non-Competition Post-Employment. During the Restricted Period, the Employee shall not directly or indirectly, on Employee’s own behalf or
on the behalf of any other Person, engage in a Competing Business within the Geographic Area, including, without limitation, owning, taking a financial interest in, managing, operating, controlling, being employed by, being associated or affiliated
with, being a spokesperson for, providing services as a consultant or independent contractor to, or participating in the ownership, management, operation or control of, any Competing Business; provided, however, that this Section 6.3b does not

Employee initiates contact for that purpose. 
  

 Page 8 of 18 








 d. Employee Non-Solicitation and No-Hire. During the Restricted Period, the Employee shall not
directly or indirectly, on Employee’s own behalf or on behalf of any other Person (i) solicit, recruit, persuade, influence, or induce, or attempt to solicit, recruit, persuade, influence, or induce any Person employed or otherwise
retained by the Company (including, without limitation, any independent contractor or consultant), to cease or leave their employment or contractual or consulting relationship with the Company, regardless of whether the Employee initiates contact
for such purposes, or (ii) hire, employ or otherwise attempt to establish, for any Person, any employment, agency, consulting, independent contractor or other business relationship with any Person who is or was employed or otherwise retained by
the Company (including any independent contractor or consultant), for the benefit of a Competing Business. 
 6.4. Definitions.
The following definitions are for the purposes of this Agreement, including (without limitation) this Section 6. The scope of these definitions is in recognition of the Company-wide scope of the Employee’s responsibilities, the broad
geographic scope of the Company’s business operations throughout the entire United States of America and in certain foreign countries, and the potential ease of competing with the Company in the absence of the provisions of this Section 6.

 a. “Competing Business” means any business operation which engages in the business of providing products and services
that are the same or substantially similar or directly competes with those that any of the Company manufactured, produced, provided, sold, and/or marketed during the Employee’s tenure with the Company, such as the direct selling business,
including (without limitation) the direct sale, network and/or multi-level marketing of dietary supplements, skin care or wellness products. 
 b. “Customer” means (i) any Associate or other Person with whom or which the Company has had any contract any time during this Agreement or any time during the one year period immediately preceding the Effective Date,
and/or (ii) any customer, vendor, supplier, licensor or other Person in a business relationship with the Company, for which the Employee or employees working under the Employee’s supervision had any direct or indirect responsibility during
the Employment Period. 
 c. “Geographic Area” means (i) those cities and states in the United States of America and
foreign countries in which the Company does business during the Employment Period; and/or (ii) the geographic area of Employee’s responsibilities during the Employment Period. 
 d. “Restricted Period” means the Employment Period and the one year period commencing on the Termination Date, regardless of whether the
Employee’s termination from the Company is voluntary or involuntary, for Cause or not for Cause. This time period shall be extended by one day for each day that Employee is determined to be in violation of Sections 4, 5 and/or 6 of this
Agreement, as determined by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction. 
 6.5. Fiduciary Duty. The Employee acknowledges
and agrees that Employee owes a fiduciary duty of loyalty, fidelity, and allegiance to act at all times in the best interests of the Company. In keeping with these duties, the Employee shall make full disclosure to the 

  

 Page 9 of 18 








 
Company of all business opportunities pertaining to the Company’s business, and shall not appropriate for Employee’s own benefit, any business
opportunities concerning the subject matter of the fiduciary relationship. 
 6.6. Survival. This Section 6 shall survive
the cessation or termination of the Employee’s employment under this Agreement, subject to the time and scope limitations set forth in this Section 6. 
 6.7. Substitution/Revision. If, at the time of enforcement of the restrictive covenants in this Section 6, a court holds that the restrictions stated in this Section 6 are unreasonable under
circumstances then existing, then the maximum duration, scope or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances shall automatically be substituted for the stated duration, scope or geographic area and the court shall be allowed and is hereby
requested to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum duration, scope and geographic area permitted by law. The covenants contained in Sections 6.3a., 6.3b., 6.3c., and 6.3d. hereof are independent of and severable from one
another. 
 6.8. Independent Covenants. All covenants contained in Section 6 of this Agreement shall be construed as
agreements independent of any other provision of this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action by Employee against Employer, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by
the Company of such covenants. 
 SECTION 7. 
 NON-DISPARAGEMENT 
 7.1. Non-Disparagement. The Employee agrees that, both
during and after the Employment Period, the Employee will not make any statements which would constitute libel, slander or disparagement of the Company or any of its directors, officers, shareholders, or affiliates, provided however, that the terms
of this Section 7.1 shall not apply to communications between the Employee and, as applicable, the Employee’s attorneys or other Persons with whom or which communications would be subject to a claim of privilege existing under common law,
statute or rule of procedure. 
 SECTION 8. 
 REMEDIES 
 8.1. Remedies. In the event of a breach of this Agreement by any
Party, and subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 8, the aggrieved Party shall be entitled to all appropriate equitable and legal relief, including, but not limited to: (a) an injunction to enforce this Agreement or prevent
conduct in violation of this Agreement; (b) damages incurred as a result of the breach; and (c) attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in enforcing the terms of this Agreement.

EQUITABLE RELIEF IN A COURT OF EQUITY, BINDING ARBITRATION SHALL BE THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS, OR CONTROVERSIES BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO, WHETHER STATUTORY, CONTRACTUAL OR OTHERWISE, ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE EMPLOYEE’S EMPLOYMENT BY OR TERMINATION FROM THE COMPANY (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES, OR THE CALCULATION OF ANY BONUS OR OTHER AMOUNT OR BENEFIT DUE) (COLLECTIVELY, “DISPUTES”). THE PARTIES
EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND WAIVE THE RIGHT TO ADJUDICATE THEIR DISPUTES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OUTSIDE THE ARBITRATION FORUM PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT. In the event either party
provides a notice of arbitration of any dispute to the other party, the parties agree to submit that dispute to a single arbitrator selected from a panel of arbitrators of JAMS located in Dallas, Texas. The arbitration will be governed by the JAMS
Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures in effect at the time the arbitration is commenced. If for any reason JAMS cannot serve as the arbitration administrator, the Company may select an alternative arbitration administrator, such as the
American Arbitration Association, to serve under the terms of this Agreement. The parties further agree to abide by and perform any award rendered by the arbitrator. 
 a. VENUE. THE PARTIES STIPULATE AND AGREE THAT THE EXCLUSIVE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ARBITRATION PROCEEDING (AND OF ANY OTHER PROCEEDING, INCLUDING (WITHOUT LIMITATION) ANY COURT PROCEEDING, UNDER THIS AGREEMENT)
SHALL BE DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS (THE “AGREED VENUE”). 
 b. Authority and Decision. The arbitrator shall have the authority to
award the same damages and other relief that a court could award. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned award explaining the decision and any damages awarded. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding upon the parties and enforceable
by a court of competent jurisdiction. The parties will abide by and perform any award rendered by the arbitrator. In rendering the award, the arbitrator shall state the reasons therefore, including (without limitation) any computations of actual
damages or offsets, if applicable. 
 c. Fees and Costs. In the event of arbitration under the terms of this Agreement, the fees
charged by JAMS or other arbitration administrator and the arbitrator shall be borne by the parties as determined by the arbitrator, except for any initial registration fee, which the parties shall bear equally. Otherwise, the parties shall each
bear their own costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred in arbitration; provided, however, that the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover and have awarded its attorneys’ fees, court costs, arbitration expenses, and its portion
of the fees and costs charged by JAMS or other arbitration administrator, regardless of which Party initiated the proceedings, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled. The determination of the “prevailing party” and the
amount of fees, costs and expenses awarded shall be in the discretion of the arbitrator and shall be based upon such evidence as the arbitrator deems appropriate, including the relief awarded as compared to the last bona fide settlement offer made
by the opposing party prior to the initiation of the arbitration proceeding, as well as any bona fide settlement offer made during the proceeding taking into account the fees, costs and expenses incurred thereafter. 
  

 Page 11 of 18 








 d. Limited Scope. The following are excluded from binding arbitration under this Agreement: claims
for workers’ compensation benefits or unemployment benefits; replevin; and claims for which a binding arbitration agreement is invalid as a matter of law. 
 e. Statutes of Limitations. All statutes of limitations that would otherwise be applicable (as well as other laws and statutes of applicability to any Dispute in issue) shall apply to any arbitration proceeding
hereunder, and the arbitrator is specifically empowered to decide any question pertaining to limitations. 
 f. Injunctive Relief. The
parties hereto may seek injunctive relief in arbitration; provided, however, that as an exception to the arbitration agreement set forth in Section 8.2 hereof, the parties, in addition to all other available remedies, shall each have the right
to initiate an action in any court of competent jurisdiction in order to request injunctive or other equitable relief regarding the terms of this Agreement. The exclusive venue of any such proceeding shall be in the Agreed Venue. The parties agree
(a) to submit to the jurisdiction of any competent court in the Agreed Venue, (b) to waive any and all defenses the Executive may have on the grounds of lack of jurisdiction of such court, and (c) that neither party shall be required
to post any bond, undertaking or other financial deposit or guarantee in seeking or obtaining such equitable relief. Evidence adduced in any such proceeding for an injunction may be used in arbitration as well. The existence of this right shall not
preclude or otherwise limit the applicability or exercise of any other rights and remedies that a party hereto may have at law or in equity. 
 SECTION 9.

 9.1. Events of Termination. In addition to termination of employment in accordance with Section 2 hereof, the Employee’s

reasonable judgment) may harm or embarrass, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates, customers, dealers or suppliers. 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Company gives notice of termination for Cause under clauses i. or ii. above in this Section 9.1(b), then the Employee at his sole option shall have sixty (60) days
from the date of such notice to effect a cure or resolution of the reasons giving rise to the termination (the “Employee Remedy Period”) before the termination becomes effective. If the reasons giving rise to such termination are cured or
resolved by the Employee within the Employee Remedy Period, then the termination will be deemed to be without Cause for the purposes of this Agreement, unless it is withdrawn by the Company by the end of the Employee Remedy Period. 
 c. “Good Reason” means any of the following: 
  

	 	i.	the Company’s denial of compensation due and owing to Employee under this Agreement, where such denial is by any means, including but not limited to a material act or omission
of fraud, theft, or dishonesty in the Company’s accounting practices or otherwise; 

  

	 	ii.	the requirement by the Company that Employee be based anywhere other than Dallas County, Texas, except for travel incident to the Company’s business; 


 

	 	iii.	the Company’s demotion of the Employee in title or pay, or the Company’s removal of a material portion of the Employee’s significant duties or responsibilities
pursuant to this Agreement, without the Employee’s consent; or 

  

	 	iv.	the Company’s material breach of this Agreement. 

 Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, if the Employee gives notice of resignation for Good Reason under clauses i., ii., iii., or iv. above in this Section 9.1(c), then the Company at its sole option shall have sixty (60) days from the
date of such notice to effect a cure

or resolution of the reasons giving rise to the resignation (the “Company Remedy Period”), before the resignation becomes effective. If the reasons
giving rise to such resignation are cured or resolved by the Company within the Company Remedy Period, then the resignation will be deemed to be without Good Reason for the purposes of this Agreement, unless it is withdrawn by the Employee by the
end of the Company Remedy Period. 
 9.2. Non-Renewal. In the event the Company gives notice to the Employee that it will
terminate this Agreement at the expiration of any term, then the Agreement will automatically terminate at the end of such term. 
 9.3.
Severance. 
 a. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as impacting the right of the Company to terminate the
Employee’s employment with the Company. 
 b. Unless Employee resigns without Good Reason, or is terminated by the Company for Cause or

any kind or character, including, but not limited to, all claims or causes of action arising out of the employee’s employment with the Company, the termination of such employment, or any actions or omissions occurring during such employment,
and the performance of Employee’s and Company’s obligations hereunder.

the Company shall pay the Employee the following: 
 a. Any amount of base salary earned by, but not yet paid to, the Employee through the
last date of the Employment Period; 
 b. Any annual bonus, or portion thereof, that is earned by, but not yet paid to, the Employee through
the Termination Date; 
 c. All reimbursable expenses due, or but not paid, to the Employee as of the Termination Date in accordance with

Except as modified in paragraph 9.3 hereof for the payment of such amounts when due, the Company shall have no further obligation or liability under this Agreement for any other compensation, payment, or benefit to the Employee. The stock
option agreements between the Parties and the plan shall govern the Employee’s outstanding stock options upon or after cessation or termination of employment. Also upon cessation or termination of employment hereunder (unless the Employee
continues otherwise to be employed by the Company), the Employee (1) shall return to the Company the leased vehicle provided for the Employee’s use in accordance with Section 3.6 hereof, and (2) shall resign or shall be deemed to

activities, by being available at mutually agreeable times, in person or by telephone, and without any unreasonable interference with Employee’s other activities, to provide such information as may from time to time be requested by the Company
regarding various matters in which Employee was involved during Employee’s employment with the Company, and (b) any and all pending or future litigation or administrative claims, investigations, or proceedings involving the Company,
including (without limitation) Employee’s meeting with the Company’s counsel and advisors at reasonable times upon their request, and providing testimony (in court or at depositions) that is truthful, and complete in accordance with
