AMENDED AND RESTATED 2010 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN

 PERFORMANCE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

This Performance Stock Option Agreement and Participant's award summary (the "Award Summary"), which can be accessed in Participant's My Awards on the Morgan Stanley Benefit Access Website at www.benefitaccess.com (or the website of any other stock plan administrator selected by the Company in the future) (collectively, this "Agreement") sets forth the terms and conditions of the Options granted to Participant under the Amended and Restated Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Plan").  In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail.  Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the same defined meaning assigned to them in the Plan.

1.            Grant of Options.

 

1.1            Grant of Options.  Effective as of the date of grant specified in the Award Summary, the Company grants to Participant Options to purchase up to the number of Shares specified in the Award Summary. Such Options are granted as an incentive to work to increase the value of the Company for its stockholders.

1.2            Nature of Options. The Award Summary shall designate whether the Options are a Nonqualifed Stock Option or Incentive Stock Option. The Options may not be exercised at any time until the Options are vested, as provided in Section 1.3.

1.3            Vesting of Options. The Options shall vest and become exerciseable as follows, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, including pursuant to Sections 1.4 and 5:

[Performance Vesting Schedule]

1.4            Term of Options.

		(a)	In the event Participant's Continuous Service (as defined below) is terminated for any reason prior to the full vesting of the Options, the Options granted hereunder shall terminate to the extent they are not vested as of the termination of Participant's Continuous Service, as determined in accordance with Section 10(f) below, and Participant shall not have any right to exercise such unvested Options.

		(b)	Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, including Section 5 hereof, all Options granted hereunder that are vested but unexercised shall terminate on the earliest to occur of:

(1)            the date on which the Participant's Continuous Service is terminated because of a Forfeiture Event;

(2)            three months after the termination of the Participant's Continuous Service for any reason other than for Cause or as a result of the Participant's death or Disability (as defined below);

(3)            12 months after the termination of the Participant's Continuous Service due to the Participant's Disability;

 

 

(4)            12 months after the termination of the Participant's Continuous Service due to the Participant's death; or

(5)            the seventh anniversary of the date of grant specified in the Award Summary.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise of an Option is prevented by the Company within the applicable time periods set forth in (2) and (3) of this Section 1.4(b) for any reason, the Participant's Options shall not expire before the date that is 30 days after the date that the Participant is notified by the Company that the Option is again exercisable, but in any event no later than the the seventh anniversary of the date of grant specified in the Award Summary; provided, however, that if the Award Summary designates the Participant's Option as an Incentive Stock Option, and if any such extension causes the term of the Participant's Option to exceed the maximum term allowable for Incentive Stock Options, the Participant's Option shall cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option.

(c)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Options granted hereunder shall terminate to the extent they are not vested as as follows:

[Performance Termination Schedule]

"Continuous Service" means that Participant's service with the Company or a Subsidiary, whether as an Employee, Director, or Consultant, is not interrupted or terminated.  Participant's Continuous Service shall not be deemed to have terminated merely because of a change in the capacity in which Participant renders service to the Company or a Subsidiary as an Employee, Consultant, or Director, or a change in the entity for which Participant renders such service, provided that there is no interruption or termination of Participant's Continuous Service.  For example, a change in status from an Employee of the Company to a Consultant of a Subsidiary or a Director will not constitute an interruption of Continuous Service.  Subject to the requirements of applicable law, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether Continuous Service shall be considered interrupted in the case of any leave of absence approved by the Company or a Subsidiary, including sick leave, military leave or any other personal leave.

"Disability" means the permanent and total disability of a Participant within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code for all Incentive Stock Options.  For all other Options, "Disability" means the Participant (a) is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months or (b) is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death, or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Participant's employer. Any question as to the existence of that Participant's physical or mental impairment as to which the Participant or Participant's representative and the Company cannot agree shall be determined in writing by a qualified independent physician mutually acceptable to the Participant and the Company (or its Subsidiary, as applicable).  If the Participant and the Company (or its Subsidiary, as applicable) cannot agree as to a qualified independent physician, each shall appoint such a physician and those two physicians shall select a third who shall make such determination in writing. The determination of Disability made in writing to the Company or a Subsidiary and the Participant shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of the Options.

1.5            Exercise of Options. Exerciseable options may be exercised as provided on the Morgan Stanley Benefit Access Website at www.benefitaccess.com (or the website of any other stock plan administrator selected by the Company in the future) or by written notice of such exercise, in the form prescribed by the Committee, to the person designated by the Committee at the corporate offices of the Company. The notice shall specify the number of Options that are being exercised. Full payment of the Option Price shall be made at the time of exercise in a manner set forth in the Plan, or in such other manner as may be approved by the Committee, consistent with the terms of the Plan, as it may be amended from time to time.

 

 

 

 

1.6            Stockholder Rights.  Unless and until Shares are issued by the Company upon exercise of the Options, Participant shall have none of the rights or privileges of a shareholder of the Company (including voting, dividend and liquidation rights) with respect to the Shares covered by the Options.

2.            Securities Law Compliance.  Participant represents that Participant has received and carefully read a copy of the Prospectus for the Plan, together with the Company's most recent Annual Report to Stockholders.  Participant hereby acknowledges that Participant is aware of the risks associated with the Shares and that there can be no assurance the price of the Shares will not decrease in the future.  Participant hereby acknowledges no representations or statements have been made to Participant concerning the value or potential value of the Shares.  Participant acknowledges that Participant has relied only on information contained in the Prospectus and has received no representations, written or oral, from the Company or its employees, attorneys or agents, other than those contained in the Prospectus or this Agreement.  Participant acknowledges that the Company has made no representations or recommendations, and is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, regarding Participant's participation in the Plan, or Participant's acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.  Participant is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

 

3.            Transfer Restrictions.  Participant shall not transfer, assign, sell, encumber, pledge, grant a security interest in or otherwise dispose of the Options subject to this Agreement in any manner other than by the laws of descent or distribution, and shall be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant.  Any such transfer, assignment, sale, encumbrance, pledge, security interest or disposition shall be void and shall result in the automatic termination of the Options and this Agreement.

 

4.            Reserved.

 

5.            Forfeiture.  If at any time during Participant's Continuous Service or at any time during the 12-month period following termination of Participant's Continuous Service, a Forfeiture Event (as defined below) occurs, then at the election of the Committee, (a) this Agreement and all Options granted hereunder shall terminate, and (b) Participant shall return to the Company for cancellation all Shares held by Participant plus pay the Company the amount of any proceeds received from the sale of any Shares, to the extent such Shares were issued pursuant to Options granted under this Agreement that were exercised (i) during the 12-month period immediately preceding the Forfeiture Event, or (ii) on the date of or at any time after such Forfeiture Event.

 

"Forfeiture Event" means the following:

	
(a)

	
a material breach by Participant of any of Participant's obligations under the Company's Key Employee Covenants or any employment agreement, which breach is (i) not cured within any applicable cure period set forth in the Key Employee Covenants or employment agreement, and (ii) materially injurious to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

 

	
(b)

	
any willful violation by Participant of any material law or regulation applicable to the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, which is materially injurious to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

 

	
(c)

	
the Participant's conviction of, or a plea of nolo contendre to, a felony or any willful perpetration of common law fraud;

 

	
(d)

	
any other willful misconduct by the Participant that is materially injurious to the financial condition or business reputation of, or is otherwise materially injurious to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

 

	
(e)

	
any material breach of the non-competition or non-solicitation provisions of the Key Employee Covenants.

 

 

 

6.            Governing Plan Document.  This Agreement incorporates by reference all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, as presently existing and as hereafter amended.  Participant expressly acknowledges and agrees that the terms and provisions of this Agreement are subject in all respects to the provisions of the Plan.  Participant also expressly:

 

	
(a)

	
Acknowledges receipt of the Plan and represents that Participant is familiar with the provisions of the Plan, and that Participant enters into this Agreement subject to all of the provisions of the Plan;

 

	
(b)

	
Recognizes that the Committee has been granted complete authority to administer the Plan in its sole discretion, and agrees to accept all decisions related to the Plan and all interpretations of the Plan made by the Committee as final and conclusive upon Participant and upon all persons at any time claiming any interest through Participant in the Options or the Shares subject to this Agreement; and

 

	
(c)

	
Acknowledges and understands that the establishment of the Plan and the existence of this Agreement are not sufficient, in and of themselves, to exempt Participant from the requirements of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, as amended and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, and that Participant (to the extent Section 16(b) applies to Participant) shall not be exempt from such requirements pursuant to Rule 16b-3 unless and until Participant shall comply with all applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3, including without limitation, the possible requirement that Participant must not sell or otherwise dispose of any Share acquired hereby unless and until a period of at least six months shall have elapsed between the date upon which such Options were granted to Participant and the date upon which Participant desires to sell or otherwise dispose of any Share acquired under such Options.

 

7.            Representations and Warranties.  As a condition to the receipt of any Shares upon exercise of the Options, the Company may require Participant to make any representations and warranties to the Company that legal counsel to the Company may determine to be required or advisable under any applicable law or regulation, including without limitation, representations and warranties that the Shares are being acquired only for investment and without any present intention or view to sell or distribute any such Shares.

 

8.            Compliance With Law and Regulations.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, unless there is an available exemption from any registration, qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the Shares, the Company shall not be required to deliver any Shares issuable upon exercise of the Options prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the Shares under any local, state, federal or foreign securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") or of any other governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable.  Participant understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares with the SEC or any state or foreign securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the Shares.  Further, Participant agrees that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and this Agreement without Participant's consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to issuance of Shares.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

9.            Responsibility for Taxes.  Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company, the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Participant's participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant or deemed by the Company in its discretion to be an appropriate charge to Participant even if legally applicable to the Company ("Tax-Related Items"), is and remains Participant's responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company.  Participant further acknowledges that the Company (a) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Options, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the Options, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired at exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (b) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Options to reduce or eliminate Participant's liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the date of grant and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant acknowledges that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.

In this regard, Participant authorizes the Company, or the Company's respective agents, at the Company's discretion, to satisfy the obligations with respect to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

	
(a)

	
withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon exercise of the Options either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Participant's behalf pursuant to this authorization);

 

	
(b)

	
withholding from Participant's wages or other cash compensation paid to Participant by the Company; or

 

	
(c)

	
withholding in Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Options.

 

Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case Participant will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Share equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Options, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

Participant agrees to pay to the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Participant's participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if Participant fails to comply with Participant's obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

 

 

 

 

 

10.            Nature of Grant.  In accepting the Options, Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

 

	
(a)

	
the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;

 

	
(b)

	
the grant of Options is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Options, or benefits in lieu of Options even if Options have been awarded in the past;

 

	
(c)

	
nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon Participant any right to continue in the employment or service of the Company or any Subsidiary;

 

	
(d)

	
all decisions with respect to future grants of Options or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

 

	
(e)

	
Participant's participation in the Plan is voluntary; and

 

	
(f)

	
in the event of the termination of Participant's Continuous Service, and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or determined by the Company, Participant's right to vest in the Options under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of the date Participant's Continuous Service is terminated, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion; similarly, any right to exercise Options after termination of Participant's Continuous Service will be measured from the date Participant is no longer providing Continuous Service, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

 

11.            Miscellaneous Provisions.

 

11.1            Notices.  Any notice required to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the sender's local mail, registered or certified, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party entitled to such notice at the latest address on file or at such other address as such party may designate by ten days advance written notice under this Section to all other parties to this Agreement.

11.2            Waiver.  The failure of the Company in any instance to exercise any rights under this Agreement, including the forfeiture rights under Section 5, shall not constitute a waiver of any other rights that may subsequently arise under the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement between the Company and Participant.  Participant acknowledges that no waiver by the Company of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by Participant or any other Participant, whether of like or different nature.

11.3            Imposition of Other Requirements & Participant Undertaking.  The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on Participant's participation in the Plan, on the Options and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons.  Participant hereby agrees to take whatever additional action and execute whatever additional documents the Company may deem necessary or advisable in order to carry out the foregoing or one or more of the obligations or restrictions imposed on either Participant or the Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

 

 

 

 

11.4            Entire Contract.  This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein.  This Agreement is made pursuant to, and incorporates by reference, the provisions of the Plan and shall in all respects be construed in conformity with the terms of the Plan.

11.5            Language.  If Participant has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control, unless otherwise prescribed by local law.

11.6            Electronic Delivery and Acceptance.  The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means.  Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

11.7            Successors and Assigns.  The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns and upon Participant, Participant's permitted assigns and the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of Participant's estate, whether or not any such person shall have become a party to this Agreement and have agreed in writing to join herein and be bound by the terms hereof.  Participant may not assign this Agreement other than by the laws of decent and distribution.

11.8            Severability.  In the event that any provision in this Agreement will be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

11.9            Governing Law and Choice of Venue.  The Options and the provisions of this Agreement shall be governed by, and subject to, the laws of the State of Utah, United States, without regard to the conflict of law provisions, as provided in the Plan. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under this Agreement or this grant of Options, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of Utah, agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of Utah County, Utah, or the federal courts of the United States for the District of Utah, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.

By electronically accepting this Agreement and participating in the Plan, Participant agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions in the Plan and this Agreement.  Within six months of the date of grant, if Participant has not electronically accepted this Agreement on Morgan Stanley Smith Barney's website, or the website of any other stock plan service provider appointed by the Company, then this award shall automatically be deemed accepted, and Participant shall be bound by the terms and conditions in the Plan and this Agreement.
