Capitalized terms used herein without definition and defined in the Plan have the same meanings as provided in the Plan.

1. MASTER AGREEMENT. This Agreement is a Master Agreement and the terms of each stock option grant set forth in any Stock Option Schedule hereto shall be subject to any and all conditions and provisions set forth herein as this Agreement may be amended from time to time. Each Stock Option Schedule shall incorporate all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall contain such other terms and conditions that the Committee shall establish for the grant of options covered by such Stock Option Schedule. In the event of a conflict between the language of this Master Agreement and any Stock Option Schedule, the language of the Stock Option Schedule shall prevail with respect to that Stock Option Schedule. In order to be effective, the Stock Option Schedule must be executed by a duly authorized executive officer of the Company. No signature of the Optionee shall be required and the Optionee’s acceptance of the Stock Option Schedule shall be deemed to be his or her acceptance of all the terms and conditions set forth therein. Optionee shall be deemed to have accepted the Stock Option Schedule (and all of the terms and conditions set forth therein) unless Optionee provides written notice of his or her rejection of the Stock Option Schedule and all of the Options granted thereunder within 20 days after receipt of the Stock Option Schedule.

2. OPTION GRANTs. Each Stock Option Schedule shall set forth the number of options (the “Options”) that the Committee has granted to Optionee and the effective date of such grant. Such Options are granted as an incentive to work to increase the value of the Company for its stockholders. Each Option shall entitle the Optionee to purchase, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the respective Stock Option Schedule and the Plan, one fully paid and non-assessable share of Class A Common Stock, par value $ .001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of Nu Skin Enterprises at the option price set forth in the Stock Option Schedule. The Options are subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Stock Option Schedule and this Agreement.

3. NATURE OF OPTION. The Stock Option Schedule shall designate whether the options are Nonqualifed Stock Options or Incentive Stock Options.

Until such Options have been terminated pursuant to the preceding sentence, the vested Options at the time of termination of service shall be exercisable by the Optionee, the estate of the Optionee, or the person or persons to whom the Options may have been transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution for the period set forth in this Section 5(b), as the case may be.

7. STOCK CERTIFICATES. Within a reasonable time after the exercise of an Option, and the satisfaction of the Optionee’s obligations hereunder, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the person entitled thereto a certificate for the shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of such Option.

8. TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. This Agreement and the Options granted hereunder shall not be transferable otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee.

The notice shall specify the number of Options that are being exercised. The Option Price shall be payable on the exercise of the Options and shall be paid in cash, in shares of Class A Common Stock, including shares of Class A Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Plan, part in cash and part in shares, or 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. Shares of Class A Common Stock transferred in payment of the Option Price shall be valued as of the date of transfer based on the Fair Market Value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock which for purposes hereof, shall be considered to be the average closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange for the ten (10) trading days just prior to the date of exercise. Only shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock which have been held for at least six (6) months may be used to exercise the Option.
