THE COMPANY

Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) is a leading, global direct selling company that develops and distributes premium-quality, innovative personal care products and nutritional supplements that are sold worldwide under the Nu Skin and Pharmanex brands. The Company also markets technology-related products and services under the Big Planet brand. The Company reports revenue from five geographic regions: North Asia, which consists of Japan and South Korea; Greater China, which consists of Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan; North America, which consists of the United States and Canada; South Asia/Pacific, which consists of Australia, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand; and Other Markets, which consists of Europe, Israel, and Latin America markets (the Company’s subsidiaries operating in these countries are collectively referred to as the “Subsidiaries”).

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its Subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial information as of September 30, 2006, and for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the fiscal year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2005.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation Number 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” The interpretation contains a two step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The provisions are effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2007. The Company is evaluating the impact this statement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

STOCK–BASED COMPENSATION

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment(“SFAS 123R”), using the modified prospective transition method and therefore has not restated results for prior periods. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense includes all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”). Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted after January 1, 2006 is based on the grant-dated fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. The Company recognizes these compensation costs, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term of four years. The Company estimated the forfeiture rate based on its historical experience.

NU SKIN ENTERPRISES, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) regarding the SEC’s interpretation of SFAS 123R and the valuation of share-based payments for public companies. The Company applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123R.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R the Company recognized stock based compensation expense in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25. Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”). Accordingly, the Company generally recognized compensation expense only when it granted options with an exercise price less than the market value of the underlying shares. Any resulting compensation expense was recognized ratably over the associated service period, which was generally the option vesting term.

The Company has elected to follow the transition guidance indicated in Paragraph 81 of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004) for purposes of calculating the pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb possible future tax deficiencies. As such, the Company has calculated its historical “APIC pool” of windfall tax benefits using the long-form method. Furthermore, the Company has elected to use a two-pool approach (segregating employee and nonemployee awards into two separate pools) when accounting for the pool of windfall tax benefits.

At September 30, 2006, the Company had the following stock-based employee compensation plans:

Equity Incentive Plans

During the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company’s board of directors adopted the Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc., 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1996 Stock Incentive Plan”). In April 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Stock Incentive Plan”). This plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held in May of 2006. The 1996 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan provide for granting of stock awards and options to purchase common stock to executives, other employees, independent consultants and directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Options granted under the equity incentive plans are generally non-qualified stock options, but the plans permit some options granted to qualify as “incentive stock options” under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. The exercise price of a stock option generally is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the option grant date. The contractual term of options granted since 1996 is generally ten years. However, for options granted beginning in the second quarter of 2006, the contractual term has been shortened to seven years. Currently, all shares issued upon the exercise of options are from the Company’s treasury shares. With the adoption of the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, no further grants will be made under the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan. As of September 30, 2006, 6.0 million shares were authorized for issuance under the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan.

The total compensation expense related to these plans was approximately $1.9 million and $5.8 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006. As a result of adopting SFAS 123R, income before provision for income taxes and net income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2006 was $1.9 million and $1.2 million lower, respectively, and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 was $5.8 million and $3.6 million lower, respectively, than if the Company had continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB 25. The impact on both basic and diluted earnings per share for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 was $.02 and $.05 per share, respectively. In addition, prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company presented the tax benefit of stock option exercises as a component of operating cash flows. Upon the adoption of SFAS 123R, tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options are classified as financing cash flows. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006, all stock-based compensation expense was recorded within general and administrative expenses.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Effective August 1, 2006, the Company terminated its Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Prior to terminating the Plan the Company recognized approximately $50,000 in compensation expense for this plan for the three-month period ended September 30, 2006.

NET INCOME PER SHARE

Net income per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented.

DIVIDENDS PER SHARE

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company held forward contracts designated as foreign currency cash flow hedges with notional amounts totaling approximately $13.5 million and $23.7 million, respectively, to hedge foreign-currency-denominated intercompany transactions.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates in a single operating segment by selling products to a global network of independent distributors that operates in a seamless manner from market to market, except for its operations in Mainland China. In Mainland China the Company utilizes an employed sales force to sell its products through fixed retail locations. Selling expenses are the Company's largest expense, comprised of the commissions to its worldwide independent distributors as well as remuneration to its Mainland China sales employees paid on product sales. The Company manages its business primarily by managing its global sales force. The Company does not use profitability reports on a regional or divisional basis for making business decisions. However, the Company does recognize revenue in five geographic regions: North Asia, Greater China, North America, South Asia/Pacific and Other Markets.

DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This statement establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effects of income taxes that result from an enterprise's activities during the current and preceding years. It requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. The Company pays income taxes in many foreign jurisdictions based on the profits realized in those jurisdictions, which can be significantly impacted by terms of intercompany transactions between the Company and its foreign affiliates. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are created in this process. As of September 30, 2006, the Company has net deferred tax assets of $40.2 million. The Company has netted these deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities by jurisdiction.

11.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In 1999, the Company implemented a duty valuation methodology with respect to the importation of certain products into Japan. The Valuation Department of the Yokohama customs authority reviewed and approved this methodology at that time, and it has been reviewed on several occasions by the audit division of the Japan customs authority since then. In connection with recent audits, the Yokohama customs authorities have assessed the Company additional duties and penalties on these products imported into Japan from October 2002 to October 2004, based on a different valuation methodology than that which was previously approved. The Company has disputed this assessment. The Company has also disputed the amount of duties it was required to pay on products imported from November of 2004 to June of 2005. The total amount assessed or in dispute is approximately $25 million as of September 30, 2006, net of any recovery of consumption taxes. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company implemented some modifications to its business structure in Japan and in the United States that it believes will eliminate any further customs valuation disputes with respect to product imports in Japan after that time.

Because the valuation methodology the Company used with respect to the products in dispute was reviewed and approved by the Japan customs authority, the Company believes the assessments are improper and filed letters of protest with the Yokohama customs authority with respect to this entire amount. The Yokohama customs authority has rejected the Company's letters of protest to date, and to follow proper administrative procedures the Company filed appeals with the Japan Ministry of Finance. On June 26, 2006, the Company was also advised that the Ministry of Finance has rejected the appeals filed with their office. The Company currently plans to appeal the decision of the Ministry of Finance through the judicial court system in Japan. The Company paid the $25 million in customs duties and assessments, the amount of which it recorded in "Other Assets" in its Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company has filed requests for refunds for this entire amount, and to the extent that the Company is unsuccessful in recovering the amounts assessed and paid, the Company will be required to take a corresponding charge to its earnings.

In Taiwan, the Company is currently subject to an audit by tax authorities with respect to the deductibility of distributor commission expenses in that market. In order to avoid the running of the statute of limitations with respect to the 1999 and 2000 tax years, the Taiwan tax authorities have disallowed the Company's commission expense deductions for those years and assessed the Company a total of approximately $19 million. At this stage of the discussions, the Company is not required to pay the amount of tax under dispute. The Company is contesting this assessment and is in discussions with the tax authorities in an effort to resolve this matter. Based on its understanding of this matter, management does not believe that it is probable that the Company will incur a loss relating to this matter and accordingly has not provided any related reserves.

PURCHASE OF LONG-TERM ASSETS

In March 2002, the Company acquired the exclusive rights to a new light-source technology related to measuring the level of certain antioxidants. The acquisition included contingent payments of up to $8.5 million of cash and up to 1.2 million shares of the Company's Class A common stock if certain development and revenue targets were met. In 2004, some of these specific development and revenue targets were met resulting in contingent payments owed of approximately $5.1 million of cash (of which $1.8 million was paid during the first quarter of 2005) and 525,000 shares (of which 262,500 shares were issued in 2005) of the Company's Class A common stock. In 2005, all remaining targets were met and the total payments of $8.5 million of cash and the value of the 1.2 million shares of stock have been added to the carrying value of other finite-lived intangible assets.

On March 7, 2006, the Company acquired Caroderm, Inc. for $4.0 million. As a result of the acquisition, the Company acquired Caroderm's license to use the Scanner technology within the professional medical community. As the sole asset of Caroderm was its license and field of use rights with respect to the Scanner technology, all the consideration paid was allocated to that asset and is being amortized over the period of the remaining license agreements related to the Scanner technology. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had paid approximately $2.0 million of the purchase price and anticipates paying the remaining balance within the next two years.

13.

LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company maintains a $25.0 million revolving credit facility that expires in May 2007. Drawings on this revolving credit facility may be used for working capital, capital expenditures and other purposes including repurchases of the Company's outstanding shares of Class A common stock. As of September 30, 2006, there was $5.0 million outstanding under this revolving credit facility.

The Company also has a $125.0 million multi-currency private shelf facility with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had $76.4 million outstanding under its shelf facility, $15.0 million of which is included in the current portion of long-term debt. $50.0 million of this long-term debt is U.S. dollar denominated, bears interest of approximately 4.5% per annum and is amortized in two tranches over five and seven years. The remaining $26.4 million as of September 30, 2006, is Japanese yen-denominated senior promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of 3.1 billion Japanese yen, which were issued on February 7, 2005. The notes bear interest of 1.7% per annum, with interest payable semi-annually. The interest payments on the notes began April 30, 2005. The final maturity date of the notes is April 20, 2014 and principal payments are required annually beginning on April 30, 2008 in equal installments of 445.7 million Japanese yen.

The Company’s long-term debt also includes the long-term portion of Japanese yen denominated ten-year senior notes issued to the Prudential Insurance Company of America in 2000. The notes bear interest at an effective rate of 3.0% per annum and are due October 2010, with annual principal payments that began in October 2004. As of September 30, 2006, the outstanding balance on the notes was 6.9 billion Japanese yen, or $58.7 million, $11.7 million of which is included in the current portion of long-term debt. The Japanese notes and the revolving and shelf credit facilities are secured by guarantees issued by our material subsidiaries or by pledges of 65% to 100% of the outstanding stock of our material subsidiaries.

IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS AND OTHER

During the first quarter of 2006, the Company recorded impairment and other charges of $20.8 million, primarily relating to its first generation BioPhotonic Scanners. In February 2006, as a result of the Company’s launch of and transition to its second generation BioPhotonic Scanner, the Company determined it was necessary to write down the book value of the existing inventory of the prior model of the Scanner. The impairment charges relating to the Scanner recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 totaled $19.0 million.

In addition, during the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company completed a settlement agreement with Razorstream, a service provider of video content for our digital product category, to terminate its purchase commitments for video technology for approximately $1.8 million.

15.

RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES

During the first quarter of 2006, the Company recorded restructuring and other charges of $11.1 million, primarily relating to its restructuring initiative designed to (i) eliminate organizational redundancies, (ii) revamp administrative support functions, (iii) prioritize investments to favor profitable initiatives and markets, and (iv) increase efficiencies in the supply chain process. As a result, the Company’s overall headcount was reduced by approximately 225 employees, the majority of which related to the elimination of positions at the Company’s U.S. headquarters. These expenses consisted primarily of severance and other charges and had all been paid as of September 30, 2006.

16.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 5, 2006, the Company executed amendments to the following loan and credit agreements: (i) Note Purchase Agreement dated October 12, 2000 between the Company and The Prudential Insurance Company of America, as amended; (ii) Credit Agreement dated May 10, 2001 among the Company, various financial institutions, and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, as amended; and (iii) Private Shelf Agreement dated as of August 26, 2003 between the Company and Prudential Investment Management, Inc., as amended (the “Private Shelf Agreement”). The Private Shelf Agreement was amended to raise the credit facility amount from $125 million to $205 million, and the borrowing period for this facility was extended for an additional three years from the date of the amendment. On October 5, 2006, the Company issued a series of U.S. Dollar denominated senior promissory notes (the “Notes”) to affiliates of Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“Prudential”). The Notes were issued pursuant to the $205 million Private Shelf Agreement. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes is $40 million, bearing a 6.19% interest rate per annum, with interest payable semi-annually beginning on January 5, 2007. The final maturity date of the Notes is July 5, 2016 and principal payments are required annually beginning on July 5, 2010 in equal installments of approximately $5.7 million.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2005 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 17, 2006, and our other filings, including Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC through the date of this report.

Overview

Our revenue for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 decreased 5% and 7% to $276.3 million and $826.2 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005. Revenue for these periods was negatively impacted by revenue declines in Japan and China. In addition, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations negatively impacted revenue by 1% and 2%, respectively, for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006, particularly as a result of weakening of the Japanese yen. Revenue was positively impacted by growth in a number of our markets including South Korea, the United States, Thailand, Europe, Indonesia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. In addition, various global initiatives we have implemented during the last several quarters have positively impacted many of our markets. The launch of the second generation Pharmanex^® BioPhotonic Scanner (the “S2” or the “Scanner”) and the launch of our g3 nutrition drink have been particularly successful. g3 contributed more than $20 million in revenue globally in the third quarter, and is now one of our top selling products.

Earnings per share for the third quarter of 2006 were $0.19 compared to $0.25 for the same prior year period, and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 were $0.24 compared to $0.82 for the same prior year period. In addition to the factors described above, earnings for these periods were negatively impacted by an increase in distributor commission rates in Japan, as more fully described in the section below entitled, “Selling Expenses”. Earnings for the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 were also negatively impacted by $1.9 million and $5.8 million in stock option expense, net of income taxes, respectively, as a result of the implementation of a new accounting standard requiring the expensing of stock options beginning in the first quarter of 2006. Earnings per share for the first nine months of 2006 also include restructuring charges and impairment and other charges of $0.28 per share, net of taxes, relating to a business transformation initiative that we implemented during the first quarter of 2006. These charges are more fully described in the sections below entitled “Impairment of assets and other” and “Restructuring and other charges.”

Revenue

North Asia. The following table sets forth revenue for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 for the North Asia region and its principal markets (in millions):

	Three Months Ended September 30,			Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2006	2005	Change	2006	2005	Change
Japan	$ 118.6	$ 139.5	(15%)	$ 356.0	$ 429.3	(17%)
South Korea	29.2	20.9	40%	85.1	63.2	35%
North Asia total	$ 147.8	$ 160.4	(8%)	$ 441.1	$ 492.5	(10%)

Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, particularly a weakening of the Japanese yen, negatively impacted revenue in North Asia by 2% and 4%, respectively, for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006. Revenue in this region was also negatively impacted by an 11% and 12% local currency decline in Japan in the third quarter and first nine months of 2006, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods. The executive distributor count in Japan decreased 12% in the third quarter compared to the prior year period.

-14-

Starting in the latter part of 2005 we began to experience a significant slowdown in our business and weakness in the sponsoring environment in Japan, as a result several factors including:

•

modifications we made to our compensation plan in Japan in 2005 that we believe negatively impacted revenue and distributor counts;

•

a scale-back of the roll-out of the first generation BioPhotonic Scanner and related promotional campaigns during the latter part of 2005 in advance of the April 2006 launch of the second generation S2 Scanner;

•

regulatory issues related to our nutritional supplements and the Scanner which impact the way in which we can market certain products, and which have resulted in some cases in delays in the launch of certain products;

•

some adverse publicity and image challenges resulting from aggressive sales and recruiting techniques by some distributor leaders; and

•

continued competitive pressures.

During the last several quarters we have taken significant steps to address these issues. Our recent initiatives include:

•

enhancements to distributor incentives in Japan designed to address the negative impact of the previous changes;

•

the roll-out of the S2 Scanner that began in April of 2006;

•

the June launch of our g3 nutrition drink; and

•

corporate image and brand building campaign that includes facility upgrades and media campaigns.

We believe that these initiatives are all being well received by our distributor force, and as a result we have seen a slight improvement in year-over-year comparisons in the third quarter compared to the second quarter. We now have approximately 1,200 S2 Scanner units in Japan, and our g3 nutrition drink has already become our second best-selling product in that market. Our distributors are also responding positively to recent compensation plan changes and our corporate image campaign. We believe that all of these initiatives are key to stabilizing the market and returning it to growth.

Our South Korea market continued its strong growth in both our personal care and nutrition businesses, and is now our third largest market. Revenue in this market grew 30% on a local currency basis in the third quarter compared to the same period, and executive and active distributor counts continued to grow significantly as well. We believe that these results are due to the success of strong product and other initiatives, and alignment of our distributor leaders behind these initiatives.

-15-

Greater China. The following table sets forth revenue for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 for the Greater China region and its principal markets (in millions):

	Three Months Ended September 30,			Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2006	2005	Change	2006	2005	Change
Mainland China	$ 16.2	$ 24.0	(33%)	$ 53.7	$ 79.6	(33%)
Taiwan	23.9	23.4	2%	69.4	70.0	(1%)
Hong Kong	10.9	10.6	3%	33.8	31.6	7%
Greater China total	$ 51.0	$ 58.0	(12%)	$ 156.9	$ 181.2	(13%)

Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations did not significantly impact reported revenue in the Greater China region in the third quarter and first nine months of 2006. China revenue decreased by 33% on a local currency basis in the third quarter of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. Our executive and active distributor counts in China decreased 25% and 44%, respectively, in the third quarter on a year-over-year basis. During the last 12 months we have experienced a slowdown in our business and a weakened sponsoring environment in China, which we believe to be a result of several factors, including delays in the direct selling licensing process and related consumer uncertainty and government and media scrutiny of the direct selling industry, which caused us to take a very conservative business approach as we worked towards obtaining a direct selling license. Changes to our compensation plan in 2005 also contributed to the slowdown. As a result, we have lost some aggressive sales leaders, some of whom have pursued potential opportunities with companies that are not operating in compliance with the new direct selling regulations. In addition, we have experienced continued instances of certain sales employees making product sales through unauthorized channels at discounted prices, which has negatively impacted our business. We are taking steps designed to curb these unauthorized sales.

In late July, our direct selling application was approved by the Chinese government, and we now plan to begin the process of augmenting our current business model with a direct selling component. This will allow us to engage an entry-level, non-employee sales force that will be able to sell certain products away from our fixed retail locations. The new direct selling regulations prohibit the use of multi-level compensation plans for direct selling, so we will compensate these independent contractors based on their personal selling efforts only. We plan to maintain our retail store/employed sales representative model that will allow independent distributors to become employed sales representatives upon developing successful sales organizations and be compensated for personal sales volume as well as the sales volume of the employed sales representative's group. We are in the process of making some modifications to our employed sales representative compensation model to simplify it and to make it more consistent with the compensation model we are implementing for the independent distributor sales force. In addition, products we market with a “general food” classification, including our LifePak supplements and certain other Pharmanex products, are not approved for direct selling, and will therefore continue to be sold only through our retail store channel until such time as we obtain a “health food” classification for these products.

We plan to begin conducting direct selling activities in Shanghai in late 2006, and we will then proceed to expand our direct selling model throughout China during 2007. Following Shanghai, we will focus on opening direct selling in Beijing and Guangdong provinces during early 2007. Upon opening direct selling in these three provinces and municipalities, we will be operating our hybrid model in provinces that account for approximately 50% of our existing revenue base. We anticipate that by the end of 2007 approximately 90% of our existing revenue base will be covered by our hybrid model. The direct selling regulations require us to secure licenses in each of the provinces in which we wish to implement direct selling. This provincial licensing process will include a requirement that we establish “service centers” that will primarily be used to provide a product return location and will not require a large capital investment. Although it will likely take some time to integrate direct selling into our business model, expand throughout the market and train our sales force to work successfully within the new direct selling guidelines, we believe that this will positively impact our business in China as this process unfolds. For example, we will now be able to hold training meetings in larger numbers than was allowed previously, which should be helpful in sponsoring and business building. For a discussion of the risks to our business and uncertainties associated with the implementation of direct selling in China, please refer to the section below entitled "Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements".

Local currency revenue in Taiwan was up 4% and 1%, respectively, and Hong Kong local currency revenue was up 3% and 7%, respectively, on a year-over-year basis in the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 compared to the same prior-year periods. Our recent build out of a “gym spa” in Taiwan, consisting of a product showcase combined with a fitness center and spa, has helped generate additional brand awareness in that market. In addition, we are seeing excitement with our distributors in both Taiwan and Hong Kong surrounding business opportunities in China as we implement direct selling. Our executive distributor counts in Taiwan and Hong Kong were up 3% and 10%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2006 compared to the same prior year period.

North America. The following table sets forth revenue for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 for the North America region and its principal markets (in millions):

	Three Months Ended September 30,			Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2006	2005	Change	2006	2005	Change
United States	$ 35.7	$ 34.1	5%	$ 107.8	$ 104.6	3%
Canada	2.5	2.3	9%	7.5	7.0	7%
North America total	$ 38.2	$ 36.4	5%	$ 115.3	$ 111.6	3%

Revenue in Canada increased on a year-over-year basis primarily due to favorable currency fluctuations. We believe that several key growth initiatives recently implemented in the United States positively impacted third quarter revenue in that market. Since the second quarter of 2006 we have been rolling out S2 Scanners and Nu Skin® ProDerm™ Skin Analyzer (the “ProDerm Skin Analyzer”) units into the U.S. market. In addition, in October of 2006 we held a successful North American distributor convention.

The introduction of the ProDerm Skin Analyzer contributed to a 24% increase in personal care sales in the United States in the third quarter compared to the same prior year period. This initial version of the ProDerm Skin Analyzer enables distributors to demonstrate the effectiveness of our skin care products by providing close up skin images, and we continue to work on developing a model that will quantify skin conditions and attributes. Our global strategy with respect to the ProDerm Skin Analyzer will be to focus this tool initially on the United States and Europe, and then over time consider the launch of the updated version of this tool in our other global markets as we continue to assess its success in the United States and as we work to develop a tool with enhanced functionality. Currently, we anticipate that we will introduce the updated version of this tool globally beginning in late 2007.

South Asia/Pacific. The following table sets forth revenue for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 for the South Asia/Pacific region and its principal markets (in millions):

	Three Months Ended September 30,			Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2006	2005	Change	2006	2005	Change
Singapore/Malaysia/Brunei	$ 9.0	$ 10.8	(17%)	$ 24.6	$ 32.5	(24%)
Thailand	7.0	5.5	27%	19.1	17.6	9%
Australia/New Zealand	3.3	3.3	—	10.1	10.1	—
Indonesia	2.7	1.8	50%	7.8	1.8	333%
Philippines	.7	1.2	(42%)	2.9	2.9	—
South Asia/Pacific total	$ 22.7	$ 22.6	—	$ 64.5	$ 64.9	(1%)

Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations positively impacted revenue in South Asia/Pacific by 6% and 3%, respectively, during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005. As a result of recent successful initiatives, our Singapore/Malaysia/Brunei and Thailand markets have been experiencing improving year-over-year revenue trends over the last few quarters. Our third quarter launch of g3 juice has been particularly successful in driving revenue. Executive and active distributor counts in the region declined by 3% and 13% in the third quarter, respectively, when compared with the prior year.

Other Markets. The following table sets forth revenue for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 for our Other Markets (in millions):

	Three Months Ended September 30,			Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2006	2005	Change	2006	2005	Change
Europe	$ 14.3	$ 11.1	29%	$ 41.8	$ 34.1	23%
Latin America	2.3	2.3	—	6.6	5.9	12%
Other Markets total	$ 16.6	$ 13.4	24%	$ 48.4	$ 40.0	21%

Revenue growth in Europe resulted from growth in Germany and France and the expansion into Israel and Russia. Distributor sponsorship and leadership also remained strong, and we believe that our success in Europe is in part attributable to the strong alignment of distributor leaders behind certain initiatives in the various local markets. We recently introduced a limited number of Nu Skin ProDerm Skin Analyzers into the European market, and this tool has been received with a very positive response by our European distributors.

Gross profit

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 82.5% for the third quarter of 2006 from 82.3% for the same period in 2005, due to a decrease in Scanner amortization following our transition to less expensive S2 Scanners and the write-down of first generation Scanner units in the first quarter. For the first nine months of 2006 gross profit as a percentage of revenue remained level at 82.6% compared to the same period in 2005.

Selling expenses

Selling expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 43.7% and 43.1% for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively, from 41.7% and 42.0% for the same periods in 2005 due primarily to an increase in selling expenses in Japan. In the second half of 2005, selling expenses in Japan, as a percentage of revenue, had declined following some changes we made to our compensation plan earlier that year. The 2005 compensation plan changes had a negative impact on our business in Japan, and in order to correct this situation we implemented enhancements to our compensation plan in Japan that took effect April 1, 2006 and were designed to bring the average commission rate in that market back to its previous levels before the 2005 change. As a result, we expect our global commission rate to remain slightly above 43% for the near future.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 to $86.3 million and $265.1 million from $88.1 million and $265.2 million for the same periods in 2005. This decrease is attributable to our transformation initiative implemented in early 2006 and the progress we are making in our efforts to streamline our business and reduce overhead. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 increased to 31.2% and 32.1% from 30.3% and 29.8% for the same periods in 2005. These increases were impacted by:

•

lower overall revenue;

•

a $5.0 million Japan convention expense in the first quarter of 2006 that was not incurred in the prior-year period; and

-18-

•

increased compensation cost of $1.9 million and $5.8 million for the third quarter and nine-month period, respectively, related to stock option expenses as a result of the adoption of SFAS 123R in the first quarter of 2006.

Impairment of assets and other

During the first quarter of 2006, we recorded impairment charges of $20.8 million, primarily relating to our first generation BioPhotonic Scanners. In February 2006, as a result of our launch of and transition to the second generation BioPhotonic Scanner, we determined it was necessary to write down the book value of the existing inventory of the prior model of the Scanner. The impairment charges relating to the Scanner recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 totaled $19.0 million.

In addition, during the first quarter of 2006 we completed a settlement agreement with a Big Planet vendor to terminate our purchase commitments for video technology for approximately $1.8 million as we looked to change direction with our Big Planet business.

Restructuring and other charges

During the first quarter of 2006, we recorded restructuring and other charges of $11.1 million, primarily relating to our business transformation initiative designed to (i) eliminate organizational redundancies, (ii) revamp administrative support functions, (iii) prioritize investments to favor profitable initiatives and markets, and (iv) increase efficiencies in the supply chain process. As a result, our overall headcount was reduced by approximately 225 employees, the majority of which related to the elimination of positions at our U.S. headquarters. These expenses consisted primarily of severance and other compensation charges.

Although our business transformation initiative will be an ongoing process, nearly all of the restructuring expenses related to the transformation were incurred during the first quarter of 2006. We believe that these initiatives will generate savings of approximately $15 million in 2006 and continued savings going forward. We plan to reinvest a portion of these savings towards various growth initiatives, particularly in Japan.

Other income (expense), net

Other income (expense), net for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 was approximately $0.2 million of income and $2.2 million of expense compared to $1.6 million and $3.5 million of expense for the same periods in 2005. Fluctuations in other income (expense), net are impacted by interest expense and foreign exchange fluctuations to the U.S. dollar on the translation of yen-based bank debt and other foreign denominated intercompany balances into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes.

Provision for income taxes

Provision for income taxes for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 was $8.0 million and $10.3 million of expense compared to $10.6 million and $34.1 million of expense for the same periods in 2005. The effective tax rate was 37.7% of pre-tax income during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006, compared to rates of 37.5% and 36.9% in the same prior-year periods.

Net income

As a result of the foregoing factors, net income for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 decreased to $13.2 million and $17.0 million from $17.7 million and $58.3 million for the same periods in 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, our principal uses of cash have included operating expenses, particularly selling expenses, and working capital (principally inventory purchases), as well as capital expenditures, stock repurchases and dividends, and the development of operations in new markets. We have generally relied on cash flow from operations to fund operating activities, and we have at times incurred long-term debt in order to fund strategic transactions and stock repurchases.

We typically generate positive cash flow from operations due to favorable gross margins and the variable nature of selling expenses, which constitute a significant percentage of operating expenses. We generated $48.4 million in cash from operations during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared to $82.1 million during the same period in 2005. This decrease in cash generated from operations is due to lower revenue and lower profitability in the first nine months of 2006 resulting from the severance payments and other restructuring charges as well as the increased payment of taxes in 2006.

As of September 30, 2006, working capital was $108.8 million, compared to $149.1 million as of December 31, 2005. Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were $118.3 million and $155.4 million, respectively. The decrease in cash balances was primarily due to the increase in the payment of debt and repurchases of stock in 2006 compared to 2005 as well as the proceeds from debt in 2005. The decrease in working capital was due primarily to the decrease in cash balances.

We anticipate capital expenditures of approximately $35 million to $40 million for 2006, of which we incurred $28.2 million in the first nine months of 2006. These capital expenditures are primarily related to:

•

purchases of Scanners;

•

purchases of computer systems and software; and

•

the build-out of manufacturing and additional retail stores in China, as well as other leasehold improvements in our various markets.

⁽¹⁾

Each of the credit facilities and arrangements listed in the table are secured by guarantees issued by our material domestic subsidiaries and by pledges of 65% to 100% of the outstanding stock of our material foreign subsidiaries.

⁽²⁾

The current portion of our long-term debt (i.e. becoming due in the next 12 months) includes $11.7 million of the balance on our 2000 Japanese yen denominated notes and $15.0 million of the balance on our U.S. dollar denominated debt under the 2003 multi-currency uncommitted shelf facility.

⁽³⁾

On October 5, 2006, the Company executed agreements to extend the borrowing period for an additional 3 years under this credit shelf facility and increase the facility amount from $125 million to $205 million. At the same time, the Company borrowed an additional $40 million under this facility and issued a series of U.S. dollar denominated senior promissory notes bearing a 6.19% interest rate per annum, with interest payable semi-annually beginning on January 5, 2007. The final maturity date of the Notes is July 5, 2016 and principal prepayments are required annually beginning on July 5, 2010 in equal installments of approximately $5.7 million.

-21-

Our board of directors has approved a stock repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase our outstanding shares of Class A common stock on the open market or in private transactions. The repurchases are used primarily for our equity incentive plans and strategic initiatives. During the third quarter of 2006, we repurchased approximately 1,425,000 shares of Class A common stock under this program for an aggregate amount of approximately $24.1 million. Currently, approximately $98.4 million is available under the stock repurchase program for repurchases, inclusive of an additional $75 million authorized by the board of directors in August 2006.

In February, May and August 2006, our board of directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.10 per share for all shares of Class A common stock. These quarterly cash dividends of $7.0 million each were paid on March 22, 2006, June 21, 2006 and September 20, 2006, to stockholders of record on March 3, 2006, June 2, 2006 and September 1, 2006, respectively. In October 2006, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share for all shares of Class A common stock to be paid in December 2006. Currently, we anticipate that our board of directors will continue to declare quarterly cash dividends and that the cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our future dividend payments. However, the declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon various factors, including our net earnings, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.

We believe we have sufficient liquidity to be able to meet our obligations on both a short- and long-term basis. We currently believe that existing cash balances, future cash flows from operations and existing lines of credit will be adequate to fund our cash needs on both a short- and long-term basis. The majority of our historical expenses have been variable in nature and as such, a potential reduction in the level of revenue would reduce our cash flow needs. In the event that our current cash balances, future cash flow from operations and current lines of credit are not sufficient to meet our obligations or strategic needs, we would consider raising additional funds in the debt or equity markets or restructuring our current debt obligations. Additionally, we would consider realigning our strategic plans, including a reduction in capital spending, stock repurchases or dividend payments.

Due to the international nature of our business, we are subject from time to time to reviews and audits by the foreign taxing authorities of the various jurisdictions in which we conduct business throughout the world. In 1999, we implemented a duty valuation methodology with respect to the importation of certain products into Japan. The Valuation Department of the Yokohama customs authorities reviewed and approved this methodology at that time, and it has been reviewed on several occasions by the audit division of the Japan customs authorities since then. In connection with recent audits, the Yokohama customs authorities have assessed us additional duties and penalties on these products imported into Japan from October 2002 to October 2004, based on a different valuation methodology than what was previously approved. We have also disputed the amount of duties we were required to pay on products imported from November of 2004 to June of 2005. The total amount assessed or in dispute is approximately $25 million, net of any recovery of consumption taxes. Effective July 1, 2005, we implemented some modifications to our business structure in Japan and in the United States that we believe will eliminate any further customs valuation disputes with respect to product imports in Japan after that time.

Because the valuation methodology we used with respect to the products in dispute had been reviewed and approved by the customs authorities in Japan, we believe the assessments are improper and we filed letters of protest with Yokohama customs with respect to this entire amount. Yokohama customs has rejected our letters of protest to date, and to follow proper administrative procedures we filed appeals with the Japan Ministry of Finance. On June 26, 2006, we were also advised that the Ministry of Finance has rejected the appeals filed with their office. We currently plan to appeal the decision of the Ministry of Finance through the judicial court system in Japan. We paid the $25 million in customs duties and assessments, the amount of which we recorded in “Other Assets” in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. To the extent that we are unsuccessful in recovering the amounts assessed and paid, we will be required to take a corresponding charge to our earnings.

In Taiwan, we are currently subject to an audit by tax authorities with respect to the deductibility of distributor commission expenses in that market. In order to avoid the running of the statute of limitations with respect to the 1999 and 2000 tax years, the Taiwan tax authorities have disallowed our commission expense deductions for those years and assessed us a total of approximately $19 million. At this stage of the discussions, we are not required to pay the amount of tax under dispute. We are contesting this assessment and are in discussions with the tax authorities in an effort to resolve this matter. Based on our understanding of this matter, we do not believe that it is probable that we will incur a loss relating to this matter and accordingly have not provided any related reserves.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”) using the modified prospective transition method and therefore have not restated results for prior periods. Our results of operations during 2006 were impacted by the recognition of non-cash expense related to the fair value of our stock-based compensation awards. During the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006, we recorded $1.9 million and $5.8 million in pre-tax stock-based compensation expense. Total stock-based compensation expense, net of tax, for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 was $1.2 million and $3.6 million, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies

The following critical accounting policies and estimates should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto, and our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto. Management considers the most critical accounting policies to be the recognition of revenue, accounting for income taxes, accounting for intangible assets and accounting for stock-based compensation. In each of these areas, management makes estimates based on historical results, current trends and future projections.

Revenue. We recognize revenue when products are shipped, which is when title and risk of loss pass to our independent distributors. With some exceptions in various countries, we offer a return policy whereby distributors can return unopened and unused product for up to 12 months subject to a 10% restocking fee. Reported revenue is net of returns, which have historically been less than 5% of gross sales. A reserve for product returns is accrued based on historical experience. We classify selling discounts as a reduction of revenue. Our selling expenses are computed pursuant to our global compensation plan for our distributors which is focused on remunerating distributors based upon the selling efforts of the distributors and their downlines, and not their personal purchases.

Income Taxes. We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This statement establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effects of income taxes that result from an enterprise’s activities during the current and preceding years. It requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. We pay income taxes in many foreign jurisdictions based on the profits realized in those jurisdictions, which can be significantly impacted by terms of intercompany transactions among our affiliates around the world. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are created in this process. As of September 30, 2006, we had net deferred tax assets of $40.2 million. These net deferred tax assets assume sufficient future earnings will exist for their realization, as well as the continued application of current tax rates. We have considered projected future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies in determining that no valuation allowance is required. In the event we were to determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to earnings in the period such determination was made.

-23-

Our foreign taxes paid are high relative to foreign operating income and our U.S. taxes paid are low relative to U.S. operating income due largely to the flow of funds among our Subsidiaries around the world. As payments for services, management fees, license arrangements and royalties are made from our foreign affiliates to our U.S. corporate headquarters, these payments often incur withholding and other forms of tax that are generally creditable for U.S. tax purposes. Therefore, these payments lead to increased foreign effective tax rates and lower U.S. effective tax rates. Variations (or shifts) occur in our foreign and U.S. effective tax rates from year to year depending on several factors, including the impact of global transfer prices and the timing and level of remittances from foreign affiliates.

We are subject to regular audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. These audits may result in additional tax liabilities. We account for such contingent liabilities in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” and believe we have appropriately provided for income taxes for all years. Several factors drive the calculation of our tax reserves. Some of these factors include: (i) the expiration of various statutes of limitations; (ii) changes in tax law and regulations; (iii) issuance of tax rulings; and (iv) settlements with tax authorities. Changes in any of these factors may result in adjustments to our reserves, which would impact our reported financial results.

Intangible Assets. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”), our goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized. Our intangible assets with finite lives are recorded at cost and amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” We are required to make judgments regarding the useful life of our intangible assets. With the implementation of SFAS 142, we determined certain intangible assets to have indefinite lives based upon our analysis of the requirements of SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141”) and SFAS 142. Under the provisions of SFAS 142, we are required to test these assets for impairment at least annually. No impairment charges related to intangible assets were recognized during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 or 2005. To the extent an impairment is identified in the future, we will record the amount of the impairment as an operating expense in the period in which it is identified.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense. Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”), using the modified prospective transition method, and therefore have not restated prior periods’ results. Under this method we recognize compensation expense for all share-based payments granted after January 1, 2006 and prior to but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, in accordance with SFAS 123R. Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, we recognize stock-based compensation net of any estimated forfeiture rate and only recognize compensation cost for those shares expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. The fair value of our stock-based compensation expense is based on estimates using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This option-pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the option’s expected life, risk-free interest rate, expected dividends and price volatility of the underlying stock. The stock price volatility assumption was determined using a combination of historical volatility of the Company’s common stock.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation Number 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. The interpretation contains a two step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The provisions are effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2007. We are evaluating the impact this statement will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Seasonality and Cyclicality

In addition to general economic factors, we are impacted by seasonal factors and trends such as major cultural events and vacation patterns. For example, most Asian markets celebrate their respective local New Year in the first quarter, which generally has a negative impact on that quarter. We believe that direct selling in Japan, the United States and Europe is also generally negatively impacted during the third quarter, when many individuals, including our distributors, traditionally take vacations.

We have experienced rapid revenue growth in certain new markets following commencement of operations. This initial rapid growth has often been followed by a short period of stable or declining revenue, then followed by renewed growth fueled by product introductions, an increase in the number of active distributors and increased distributor productivity. The contraction following initial rapid growth has been more pronounced in certain new markets, due to other factors such as business or economic conditions or distributor distractions outside the market.

Distributor Information

The following table provides information concerning the number of active and executive distributors as of the dates indicated. Active distributors are those distributors and preferred customers who were resident in the countries in which we operated and purchased products for resale or personal consumption directly from us during the three months ended as of the date indicated. Executive distributors are active distributors who have achieved required monthly personal and group sales volumes as well as employed full-time sales representatives in China who have completed a qualification process and receive a salary, labor benefits and bonuses based on their personal sales efforts.

	As of September 30, 2006		As of September 30, 2005
Region:	Active	Executive	Active	Executive
North Asia	329,000	14,863	339,000	16,061
Greater China	155,000	6,246	220,000	7,036
North America	140,000	3,592	136,000	3,342
South Asia/Pacific	74,000	2,093	85,000	2,165
Other Markets	59,000	1,786	55,000	1,667
Total	757,000	28,580	835,000	30,271

Currency Risk and Exchange Rate Information

A majority of our revenue and many of our expenses are recognized outside of the United States, except for inventory purchases, which are primarily transacted in U.S. dollars from vendors in the United States. The local currency of each of our Subsidiaries’ primary markets is considered the functional currency. All revenue and expenses are translated at weighted-average exchange rates for the periods reported. Therefore, our reported revenue and earnings will be positively impacted by a weakening of the U.S. dollar and will be negatively impacted by a strengthening of the U.S. dollar. The Chinese government is beginning to allow the yuan to float more freely against the U.S. dollar and other major currencies. A strengthening of the yuan would benefit our reported revenue and profits and a weakening of the yuan would negatively impact reported revenue and profits. Given the large portion of our business derived from Japan, any weakening of the yen would negatively impact reported revenue and profits. Given the uncertainty of exchange rate fluctuations, we cannot estimate the effect of these fluctuations on our future business, product pricing and results of operations or financial condition.

-25-

We seek to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates through the use of foreign currency exchange contracts, through intercompany loans of foreign currency and through our Japanese yen-denominated debt. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We regularly monitor our foreign currency risks and periodically take measures to reduce the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on our operating results.

Our foreign currency derivatives are comprised of over-the-counter forward contracts with major international financial institutions. As of September 30, 2006, we had $13.5 million of these contracts with expiration dates through September 2007. All of these contracts were denominated in Japanese yen. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006, we recorded pre-tax gains of $0.3 million and $3.1 million, which were included in our revenue in Japan, and a gain of $0.3 million as of September 30, 2006, net of tax, in other comprehensive income related to the fair market valuation of our outstanding forward contracts. Based on our foreign exchange contracts at September 30, 2006, the impact of a 10% appreciation or 10% depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Japanese yen would not represent a material potential loss in fair value, earnings or cash flows against these contracts. This potential loss does not consider the underlying foreign currency transaction or translation exposures to which we are subject.

We wish to caution readers that our operating results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those discussed or anticipated. Reference is made to the risks and uncertainties described below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and amendments thereto (which contains a more detailed discussion of the risks and uncertainties related to our business). We also wish to advise readers not to place any undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this report, which reflect our beliefs and expectations only as of the date of this report. We assume no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances or any changes in our beliefs or expectations, except as required by law. Some of the risks and uncertainties that might cause actual results to differ from those anticipated include, but are not limited to, the following:

(a)

Because a substantial majority of our sales are generated in Asia, particularly Japan, significant variations in operating results including revenue, gross margin and earnings from those expected could be caused by:

•

continued weakening of the Japanese yen;

•

regulatory constraints with respect to the claims we can make regarding the efficacy of our products and tools;

•

increasing competitive pressures;

•

renewed or sustained weakness of Asian economies or consumer confidence;

•

political unrest or uncertainty; or

•

natural disasters or epidemics.

(b)

Our operations in China are subject to significant regulatory scrutiny, and we have experienced challenges in the past, including interruption of sales activities at certain stores and minor fines being paid in some cases. Because of the government’s significant concerns about direct selling activities, government regulators in China scrutinize very closely activities of direct selling companies or activities that resemble direct selling. Even though we have now obtained a direct selling license, we anticipate that government regulators will continue to scrutinize our activities and the activities of our distributors and sales employees to monitor our compliance with the new regulations and other applicable regulations as we integrate direct selling into our business model. Any determination that our operations or activities, or the activities of our employed sales representatives or distributors, are not in compliance with applicable regulations, could result in the imposition of substantial fines, extended interruptions of business, termination of necessary licenses and permits, including our direct selling licenses, or restrictions on our ability to open new stores or obtain approvals for service centers or expand into new locations, all of which could harm our business.

-27-

(c)

Towards the end of 2005, Chinese regulators adopted anti-pyramiding and new direct selling regulations that will allow direct selling but contain significant restrictions and limitations, including a restriction on multi-level compensation. These new regulations are not yet well understood, and there continues to be some confusion and uncertainty as to the meaning of the new regulations and the specific types of restrictions and requirements imposed under them. It is also difficult to predict how regulators will interpret and enforce these new regulations and the impact of these new regulations on pending regulatory reviews and investigations. Our business and our growth prospects may be harmed if Chinese regulators interpret the anti-pyramiding regulations or direct selling regulations in such a manner that our current method of conducting business through the use of employed sales representatives violates these regulations. In particular, our business would be harmed by any determination that our current method of compensating our sales employees, including our use of the sales productivity of a sales employee and the group of sales employees whom he or she trains and supervises as one of the factors in establishing such sales employee’s salary and compensation, violates the restriction on multi-level compensation under the new rules. Our business could also be harmed if regulators inhibit our ability to concurrently operate our retail store/employed sales representative business model and our planned direct selling business. Although we have obtained a direct selling license in China, if we are unable to establish required service centers as quickly as we would like, or if we are not able to offer a direct selling opportunity that is attractive to distributors as a result of the limitations under the direct selling regulations, our ability to grow our business there could be negatively impacted.

(d)

Our ability to retain key and executive level distributors or to sponsor new executive distributors is critical to our success. Because our products are distributed exclusively through our distributors and we compete with other direct selling companies in attracting distributors, our operating results could be adversely affected if our existing and new business opportunities and incentives, products, business tools and other initiatives do not generate sufficient enthusiasm and economic incentive to retain our existing distributors or to sponsor new distributors on a sustained basis. In addition, in our more mature markets, one of the challenges we face is keeping distributor leaders with established businesses and high income levels motivated and actively engaged in business building activities and in developing new distributor leaders. There can be no assurance that our initiatives such as the Scanner and others will continue to generate excitement among our distributors in the long-term or that planned initiatives will be successful in maintaining distributor activity and productivity or in motivating distributor leaders to remain engaged in business building and developing new distributor leaders. In addition, some initiatives may have unanticipated negative impacts on our markets. For example, during the past year certain modifications were made to compensation incentives in China, Japan, and Singapore that appear not to have been as well received by some distributors as expected, contributing to declines in distributor numbers and revenue results. We have recently implemented compensation plan enhancements in Japan designed to address the negative impacts of previous changes. In China, we are in the process of making some additional modifications to our employed sales representative compensation model to simplify it and to make it more consistent with the compensation model we are implementing for the independent distributor sales force. There can be no assurance, however, that these measures will be successful in generating distributor excitement in these markets.

(e)

Our use of the Scanner is subject to regulatory risks and uncertainties in our various markets. For example, in March 2003 the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) questioned its status as a non-medical device and we subsequently filed an application with the FDA to have the Scanner classified as a non-medical device. The FDA has not yet acted on our application. There are various factors that could determine whether the Scanner is a medical device, including the claims that we or our distributors make about it. We face similar regulatory issues in other markets with respect to the status of the Scanner as a non-medical device and the claims that can be made in using it. For example, during the past year we faced regulatory inquiries in Singapore, Korea and Japan regarding distributor claims with respect to the Scanner. Although these matters have not resulted in any adverse action against us, our revenue in any market going forward could be negatively impacted if we face similar issues in the future or if such inquiries weaken distributor enthusiasm surrounding the Scanner. A determination in any market that the Scanner is a medical device or that distributors are using it to make medical claims could negatively impact our ability to use the Scanner in such market. In addition, if distributors make claims regarding the Scanner outside of claims approved by us, or use it in a manner not authorized by us, this could result in regulatory actions against our business.

(f)

Our current and planned initiatives surrounding the introduction of the S2 Scanner and the Nu Skin ® ProDerm™ skin analysis tool in our various markets are subject to technical and regulatory risks and uncertainties. The S2 Scanner is a newly developed tool and we cannot be certain that it will consistently meet performance expectations. In addition, we have experienced delays and challenges in completion of a ProDerm unit that will quantify skin conditions and attributes in a manner that meets our specifications and objectives. We have decided to introduce a version in the United States that has less features while we continue to develop an enhanced version. If we continue to experience difficulties or delays in completing this process that prevent us from meeting our launch schedules or developing a tool that performs the desired functions, our business may be harmed. Our plans are also subject to regulatory risks, particularly in Japan, where there is a risk that regulatory authorities in Japan may impose limitations on the use of this tool and on claims that may be made in connection with its use. Such limitations in Japan or any other markets could weaken the ability of our distributors to utilize this tool in building their businesses, and could dampen distributor enthusiasm surrounding it.

(g)

As we begin operations in Russia, prepare for the implementation of direct selling regulations in China and look to develop other new markets, we anticipate that some distributor leaders in other markets will shift their focus away from their home markets and towards business prospects in these markets. This shift of focus of distributor leaders can negatively impact distributor leadership and growth in these other markets and consequently negatively impact revenue. In addition, if Russia and China are not as successful as the distributor leaders from these other markets anticipate, this can also dampen distributor enthusiasm.

(h)

As we continue to implement our business transformation initiative, there could be unintended negative consequences, including business disruptions and/or a loss of employees. Further, we may not realize the cost improvements and greater efficiencies as we hope for as a result of this realignment. In addition, as we continually evaluate strategic reinvestment of any savings generated as a result of our transformation initiative, we may not ultimately achieve the amount of savings that we currently anticipate.

(i)

The network marketing and nutritional supplement industries are subject to various laws and regulations throughout our markets, many of which involve a high level of subjectivity and are inherently fact-based and subject to interpretation. Negative publicity concerning supplements with controversial ingredients has spurred efforts to change existing regulations or adopt new regulations in order to impose further restrictions and regulatory control over the nutritional supplement industry. The FTC in the United States is also proposing new regulations that would impose new requirements that could be burdensome. If our existing business practices or products, or any new initiatives or products, are challenged or found to contravene any of these laws by any governmental agency or other third party, or if there are any new regulations applicable to our business that limit our ability to market such products or impose additional requirements on us, our revenue and profitability may be harmed.

(j)

Due to the international nature of our business, we are subject from time to time to reviews and audits by the foreign taxing authorities of the various jurisdictions in which we conduct business throughout the world. These audits sometimes result in challenges by such taxing authorities as to our methodologies used in determining our income tax, duties, customs, and other amounts owed in connection with the importation and distribution of our products. For example, we were recently assessed by the Japan customs authorities for additional duties on products imported into Japan, and we are currently contesting this assessment. Audits are also often focused on whether or not certain expenses are deductible for tax purposes in a given country. Currently, audits are underway with respect to this issue in a number of our markets, including Taiwan. To the extent we are unable to successfully defend ourselves against such audits and reviews, we may be required to pay assessments and penalties and increased duties, which may, individually or in the aggregate, negatively impact our gross margins and operating results.

(k)

Production difficulties and quality control problems could harm our business, in particular our reliance on third party suppliers to deliver quality products in a timely manner. Occasionally, we have experienced production difficulties with respect to our products, including the delivery of products that do not meet our quality control standards. These quality problems have resulted in the past, and could result in the future, in stock outages or shortages in our markets with respect to such products, harming our sales and creating inventory write-offs for unusable products.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The information required by Item 3 of Part I of Form 10-Q is incorporated herein by reference from the section entitled “Currency Risk and Exchange Rate Information” in “Item 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of Part I and also in Note 6 to the Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of Part I.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2006.

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.

As reported in our Form 10-Q for the interim period ended March 31, 2006, management concluded that as of March 31, 2006 we did not maintain effective controls related to the accuracy of our impairment evaluation of long-lived assets, as required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets (“SFAS 144”). Specifically, management’s review of the impairment analysis and computation failed to detect an error in the application of the discount rate used to estimate the fair value of the first generation BioPhotonic (“S1”) Scanners. This control deficiency resulted in a material adjustment to the impairment charge that we had initially recorded relating to our S1 Scanners in our first quarter financial statements and management determined that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness.

We have enhanced our internal controls surrounding the review of our impairment analyses and computations related to long-lived assets including analyses performed in accordance with SFAS 144, SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and other similar cash flow analyses. More specifically the Company:

•

Developed a supplemental checklist to provide guidance regarding matters to be considered when performing impairment or related present value analyses, such as the appropriate discount rate, time periods, cash flow assumptions and other details.

•

Added the supplemental checklist to our quarterly closing checklists and processes to ensure that impairment analyses including the related detail and assumptions are appropriately considered and completed. Completion of these checklists and procedures are reviewed quarterly by management.

•

Provided employee training regarding the appropriate methodologies and assumptions to utilize when performing impairment and other related analyses.

We have evaluated the design of these new procedures and controls, placed them in operation for a sufficient period of time, and subjected them to appropriate tests, in order to conclude that they are operating effectively. We have therefore concluded that the above referenced material weakness has been fully remediated as of September 30, 2006.

-30-

As described above, there have been changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15 (f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter covered by this report, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

No updates to report. Please refer to our recent SEC filings, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the 2005 fiscal year, for information regarding the status of certain legal proceedings.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

Our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A includes a detailed discussion of our risk factors. The information presented below updates some of these risk factors and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors and information disclosed in that Form 10-K/A and in subsequent Form 10-Q filings.

Although we have obtained a direct selling license in China, if we are unable to establish required service centers in China or obtain necessary provincial licensing as quickly as we would like, our ability to expand our direct selling business and grow our business there could be negatively impacted.

The new direct selling regulations and supplemental rules recently adopted in China require us to establish a service center in each area where we conduct direct selling activities and to obtain a provincial license to conduct direct selling in such province and we must also establish service centers where we conduct direct selling activities. The local approval processes for direct selling vary and remain uncertain in some areas. In addition, we must work with local government agencies in connection with the opening of our local service centers. The local governmental officials may exercise broad discretion in approving these service centers. If regulators fail to approve local direct selling licenses or permit us to build service centers at a rate that meets our growth demands, this could limit our ability to obtain direct selling licenses in some provinces in accordance with anticipated timelines and harm our business.

Because we will be implementing a compensation plan and business model for our independent distributors in China that is different from other markets due to regulatory restrictions, this could harm our ability to grow our business in China.

The direct selling regulations impose various limitations and requirements, including a prohibition on multi-level compensation and a requirement that all distributors pass a required examination before becoming a distributor. The regulations also impose other restrictions on direct selling activities that differ from the regulations in our other markets. As a result, we will be implementing a direct selling compensation plan and business model for the direct sales component of our business that will differ from the model we use in other markets. There can be no assurance that these restrictions will not negatively impact our ability to provide an attractive business opportunity to distributors in this market and limit our ability to grow our business in this market. In addition, the regulations do not allow the sale of general foods through a direct selling business model. Because some of our supplements are being marketed as general foods until we obtain health food status for these products, including LifePak, we will only be able to sell these products at our stores and not away from the stores until they receive health food status, which could have a negative impact on our direct selling business.

-31-

Changes to our compensation arrangements with our distributors could be viewed negatively by some distributors and could harm our operating results if such changes impact distributor productivity.

We have implemented a global compensation plan that has some components that differ from market to market. We modify components of our compensation plan from time to time in order to keep our compensation plan competitive and attractive to existing and potential distributors, to address changing market dynamics, to provide incentives to distributors that we believe will help grow our business, and to address other business needs. Because of the size of our distributor force and the complexity of our compensation plans, it is difficult to predict whether such changes will achieve their desired results. For example, in 2005, we made changes to our compensation plan in Japan that had been successful in other markets, but did not have the impact in Japan that we anticipated and negatively impacted our business. China and certain markets in Southeast Asia similarly were negatively impacted by compensation plan changes. We are currently planning to implement a new compensation plan for China for our independent distributors as we implement a direct selling model. We are in the process of making some modifications to our employed sales representative compensation model to simplify it and to make it more consistent with the compensation model we are implementing for the independent distributor sales force. In addition, because of the size and complexity of our sales force and compensation plan, growth in certain markets and changes to our plans have caused compensation rates in these markets to rise higher than historical levels, which could reduce our operating income. Although management's objective is to maximize the benefit of compensation plan expenses, compensation plan changes may be made in the future in these markets with higher compensation rates in order to maintain overall payout as close to historical levels as possible. We cannot be certain that the modifications we are making in China or any other modifications we make to our compensation plans in our other markets will be well received or achieve their desired results. If our distributors fail to adapt to these changes or find them unattractive, our business could be harmed.

The loss of suppliers or shortages in ingredients could harm our business.

For approximately ten years, we have acquired ingredients and products from a supplier that currently manufactures approximately 31% of our Nu Skin personal care products. In addition, we currently rely on two suppliers for a majority of Pharmanex nutritional supplement products, one of which supplies approximately 35% and the other of which supplies approximately 22%. In the event we were to lose any of these suppliers and experience any difficulties in finding or transitioning to alternative suppliers, this could harm our business. In addition, we obtain some of our products from sole suppliers. We also license the right to distribute some of our products from third parties. Although none of these products individually represent a substantial portion of our revenue, in the event we are unable to renew these contracts, we may need to discontinue some products or develop substitute products, which could harm our revenue. In addition, if we experience supply shortages or regulatory impediments with respect to the raw materials and ingredients we use in our products, we may need to seek alternative supplies or suppliers. Some of our nutritional products, including our recently introduced g3 juice, incorporate natural products that are only harvested once a year and may have limited supplies. If demand exceeds forecasts, we may have difficulties in obtaining additional supplies to meet the excess demand until the next growing season. If we are unable to successfully respond to such issues our business could be harmed.

In August 1998, our board of directors approved a plan to repurchase $10.0 million of our Class A common stock on the open market or in private transactions. Our board has from time to time increased the amount authorized under the plan and a total amount of $235.0 million is currently authorized, $75 million of which was approved by our board in September 2006. As of September 30, 2006, we had repurchased approximately $136.6 million of shares under the plan. There has been no termination or expiration of the plan since the initial date of approval.

⁽²⁾

We have authorized the repurchase of shares acquired by our employees in foreign markets because of regulatory and other issues that make it difficult and costly for these persons to sell such shares in the open market. These shares were awarded or acquired in connection with our initial public offering in 1996. Of the shares listed in this column, 68 shares for September relate to repurchases from such employees at an average per share price of $16.43.

2006 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
MASTER STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

This Master Stock Option Agreement (the “Master Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of __________________ (the “Effective Date”) by and between Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” ), and ___________________ subject to the terms and conditions of the Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. 2006 Stock 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 Master Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Master Agreement.

1. Master Agreement. By executing this Master Agreement, you agree that this Master Agreement shall govern all Options granted to you under the Plan on or after the Effective Date pursuant to a Stock Option Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) that incorporates by reference the terms of this Master Agreement. Each Option grant that is intended to be governed by this Master Agreement shall incorporate all of the terms and conditions of this Master Agreement and shall contain such other terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish for the grant of options covered by such Grant Notice. In the event of a conflict between the language of this Master Agreement and any Grant Notice, the language of the Grant Notice shall prevail with respect to Options granted pursuant to that Grant Notice. In order to be effective, the Grant Notice must be executed by a duly authorized executive officer of the Company. You will not be required to sign each Grant Notice, but you shall be deemed to have accepted the Grant Notice (and all of the terms and conditions set forth therein) unless you provide written notice to the Plan Administrator of your rejection of the Grant Notice and all of the Options granted pursuant to such Grant Notice within 20 days after receipt of the Grant Notice.

2. Grant of Option. The Company grants to you, as of the Date of Grant specified in the Grant Notice, an Option to purchase up to the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock (“Shares”) specified in the Grant Notice.

3. Vesting.

(a) Each Option will vest and become exercisable as set forth in the applicable Grant Notice, provided that vesting will cease upon the termination of your Continuous Service.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, if, during the two-year period following a Change of Control, Employee’s Continuous Service is terminated other than for Cause, or if Employee terminates his or her Continuous Service for “Good Reason,” the vesting of each Option governed by this Agreement shall be accelerated such that it shall be deemed to be vested in full immediately prior to the termination of Employee’s Continuous Service.

For purposes of this Agreement:

“Cause” shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

“Change of Control” shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

“Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following, without your express written consent, after the occurrence of a Change of Control:

(i) the assignment to you of any duties inconsistent in any material adverse respect with your position, authority or responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to a Change of Control, or any other material adverse change in such position, including authority or responsibilities;

(ii) any failure by the Company (or any successor company) to continue to provide you with base pay, incentive compensation opportunities, and other material benefits (including, but not limited to, savings plans, defined benefit plans, welfare benefit plans and perquisites) at a level which is, in the aggregate, at least equal to that in effect immediately prior to a Change of Control, but shall not include any reduction in incentive compensation opportunities or other material benefits that are part of an across-the-board reduction of the incentive compensation or other material benefits of employees who are similarly situated with respect to you;

(iii) the Company’s (or any successor company’s) requiring you to be based at any office or location more than 49 miles from that location at which you performed your services immediately prior to the Change of Control, except for travel reasonably required in the performance of your responsibilities; or

(iv) any failure by the Company or an Affiliate to obtain the commitment of any successor in interest or failure on the part of such successor in interest to perform the obligations to you under this Agreement or any employee-related obligations assumed by the successor in interest in connection with its acquisition of the Company or an Affiliate.

The occurrence of the events or conditions in clauses (i)-(iv) shall not constitute Good Reason unless you provides written notice of the action(s) or omission(s) deemed to constitute Good Reason and the Company (or any successor company) or, if applicable, an Affiliate fails to remedy such action(s) or omission(s) within 30 days after the receipt of such written notice. In no event shall the mere occurrence of a Change of Control, absent any further impact on you, be deemed to constitute Good Reason.

4. Exercise Price. An Option may be exercised, to the extent vested, prior to the Expiration Date (unless earlier terminated) at the Exercise Price (Per Share) specified in the applicable Grant Notice. The Exercise Price indicated in a Grant Notice may be adjusted from time to time for various adjustments in the Company’s equity capital structure, as provided in the Plan.

5. Method of Payment.

(a) Payment of the Exercise Price is due in full upon exercise of all or any part of your Options. You may elect to make payment of the Exercise Price in cash, by check or pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board that, prior to the issuance of Common Stock, results in either the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company or the receipt of irrevocable instructions to pay the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company from the sales proceeds. Notwithstanding the terms of the previous sentence, you may not be permitted to exercise your Options pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board if such exercise would violate the provisions of Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

(b) The Company may permit you to make payment of the Exercise Price, in whole or in part, in Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the aggregate Exercise Price or such portion thereof, as applicable; provided, however, that you must satisfy all such requirements as may be imposed by the Board including without limitation that you have held such shares for not less than six months (or such other period as established from time to time by the Board in order to avoid a supplemental charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes).

(c) Where you are permitted to pay the Exercise Price of an Option by delivering Shares, you may, subject to procedures satisfactory to the Board, satisfy such delivery requirement by presenting proof that you are the Beneficial Owner of such Shares, in which case the Company shall treat the as exercised without further payment and shall withhold such number of shares from the Option Shares acquired by the exercise of the Option.

(d) The Company may permit you to make payment of the Exercise Price in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board, in its sole discretion.

Whole Shares. You may exercise your Options only for whole Shares.

Compliance.

(a) Securities Law Compliance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you may not exercise your Options unless the Shares issuable upon such exercise are then registered under the Securities Act or, if such shares are not then so registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The exercise of your Options must also comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing your Options, and you may not exercise your Options if the Company determines that such exercise would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.

(b) Plan Compliance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you may not exercise your Options if the terms of the Plan do not permit the exercise of Options, or if the Company exercises its rights under the Plan to suspend, delay or restrict the exercise of Options.

8. Term. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Master Agreement, you may exercise all or any part of the vested portion of an Option at any time prior to the earliest to occur of:

(a) the date on which your Continuous Service is terminated for Cause;

(b) three (3) months after the termination of your Continuous Service for any reason other than for Cause or as a result of your death or Disability;

(d) twelve (12) months after the termination of your Continuous Service due to your death; or

(e) the Expiration Date indicated in the Grant Notice.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise of an Option is prevented by the Company within the applicable time periods set forth in Sections 6(b) or (c) for any reason, your Option shall not expire before the date that is thirty (30) days after the date that you are notified by the Company that the Option is again exercisable, but in any event no later than the Expiration Date indicated in your Grant Notice; provided, however, that if the Grant Notice designates your Option as an Incentive Stock Option, and if any such extension causes the term of your Option to exceed the maximum term allowable for Incentive Stock Options, your Option shall cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and instead shall be treated thereafter as a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

9. Exercise Procedures.

(a) Subject to Section 5 above and other relevant terms and conditions of the Plan and this Master Agreement, you may exercise the vested portion of an Option during its term by delivering a Notice of Exercise (in a form designated by the Company) specifying the number of Shares for which the Option is being exercised, together with the Exercise Price, to the Plan administrator, or to such other person as the Company may designate, during regular business hours, together with such additional documents as the Company may then reasonably require.

(b) By exercising an Option you agree that, as a condition to any exercise of an Option, the Company may require you to enter into an arrangement providing for the payment by you to the Company of any tax withholding obligation of the Company (including any Affiliate) arising by reason of (1) the exercise of your Option, or (2) other applicable events (as described in Section 14 of this Master Agreement).

(c) Your participation in the Plan, including vesting in any Options, will cease upon termination of Continuous Service for any reason (unless otherwise provided in the Plan or this Master Agreement); for the purposes of this Master Agreement, in the event of involuntary termination of Continuous Service, the termination shall be effective as of the date stated in the relevant notice of termination and, unless otherwise required by law, will not be extended by any notice period or other period of leave under local law. Subject to applicable law, the Company shall determine the date of termination in its sole discretion.

10. Documents Governing Issued Common Stock. Shares that you acquire upon exercise of an Option are subject to the terms of the Plan, the Company’s bylaws, the Company’s certificate of incorporation, any applicable Master Agreement relating to such Shares, or any other similar document. You should ensure that you understand your rights and obligations as a stockholder of the Company prior to the time that you exercise an Option.

11. Limitations on Transfer of Options. Options are not transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during your life only by you. Any purported assignment, alienation, pledge, sale, transfer or encumbrance, other than as expressly permitted herein, shall be void and unenforceable against the Company and any Affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, you may designate a third party who, in the event of your death, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise your Options. In the absence of such designation, your Option shall remain exercisable by your executor or administrator, or the person or persons to whom your rights under this Master Agreement shall pass by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, as the case may be. Any heir or legatee shall take rights herein granted subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in accordance with such requirements as may be established by the Company from time to time.

12. Rights Upon Exercise. You will not have any rights to dividends or other rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares subject to an Option until you have given written notice of the exercise of the Option, paid the Exercise Price and any applicable taxes for such shares in full, satisfied any other conditions imposed by the Board pursuant to the Plan, if applicable, and become a holder of record of the purchased Shares.

13. Forfeiture of Options and Related Gains. If at any time during your Continuous Service or following the termination of your Continuous Service until the later of (i) the twelve (12) month anniversary of the termination of your Continuous Service for any reason, and (ii) the six (6) month anniversary of the date you exercise any outstanding Options, a Forfeiture Event occurs, then the Company may, in its sole discretion: (A) direct that you return for cancellation (without the payment of any consideration) any Shares which you hold that were issued to you under the Plan, and/or (B) direct that you pay back, in cash or in shares, or any combination thereof, an amount equal to the gain realized or payment received upon the exercise of any of your Options and/or the sale of any underlying Shares obtained under the Plan (whether or not pursuant to the exercise of Options) during the 12 month period immediately preceding the Forfeiture Event or upon or after the occurrence of any such Forfeiture Event. The Company shall determine the manner of the recovery of any such amounts which may be due and which may include, without limitation, set-off against any amounts which may be owed by the Company or any of its Affiliates to you. For purposes of determining whether a “Forfeiture Event” has occurred, the term “Cause” shall mean the following: (i) conduct related to your employment for which criminal penalties may be sought, (ii) the commission of an act of fraud or intentional misrepresentation, (iii) embezzlement or misappropriation or conversion of assets or opportunities of the Company, (iv) any breach of the non-competition or non-solicitation provisions of the Key Employee Covenants previously provided to you, (v) disclosing or misusing any confidential or proprietary information of the Company in violation of the Key Employee Covenants, or any other non-disclosure Master Agreement with the Company or other duty of confidentiality, or (vi) any other material breach of the Key Employee Covenants. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may waive at any time in writing this forfeiture provision and release you from liability hereunder.

14. Responsibility for Taxes and Notice Requirement.

(a) Regardless of any action the Company or, if different, your employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax (including federal, state and other taxes), social insurance, payroll tax or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Options, including the grant of the Options, the vesting of the Options, the exercise of the Options, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Options to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items.

(b) You may not exercise an Option unless and until the tax withholding obligations of the Company and/or any Affiliate are satisfied or appropriate arrangements (acceptable to the Company) are made therefor, and you authorize the Company and its Affiliates to take such action as may be necessary to satisfy any such tax withholding obligations.

(c) If permissible under local law and regulations, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with respect to Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) selling or arranging for the sale of Shares otherwise deliverable to you upon exercise of the Options; (ii) withholding from your wages or other cash compensation payable to you by the Company or the Employer (whether in cash, securities or other property); (iii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares purchased upon exercise of the Options (including by means of a “same day sale” program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board to the extent permitted by the Company and applicable law, including, but not limited to, Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002); or (iv) withholding in Shares, provided that the Company only withholds the amount of Shares necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount. Finally, you will pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.

(d) The Company may permit you to make provision for the payment of any tax withholding obligation by delivering shares, or authorizing the Company to withhold shares, of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes or a portion thereof, as applicable. Where you are permitted to pay the taxes relating to the exercise of an Option by delivering shares of Common Stock, you may, subject to procedures satisfactory to the Board, satisfy such delivery requirement by presenting proof that you are the Beneficial Owner of such shares of Common Stock, in which case the Company shall treat the taxes as paid without further payment and shall withhold such number of shares from the shares acquired by the exercise of the Option.

(e) The Company may refuse to deliver any of the Shares if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items described in this Section.

(f) You agree to promptly notify the Company of any disposition of shares issued pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option that results in a “disqualifying disposition” for purposes of Section 421 of the Code.

15. Nature of Grant. In accepting the Options and signing this Master Agreement, you acknowledge 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, unless otherwise provided in 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 repeatedly in the past;

(c) nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon you any right to continue in the employment or service of the Employer or the Company for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Employer or the Company, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to terminate your employment or service at any time for any reason, with or without cause except as may otherwise be provided pursuant to a separate written employment agreement. In addition, nothing in this Agreement or the Plan shall obligate the Company or your Employer or any of its Affiliates, their respective stockholders, Boards of Directors, officers or employees to continue any relationship that you might have as a Director or Consultant or otherwise for your Employer or the Company or any of its Affiliates;

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

(e) your participation in the Plan is voluntary;

(f) Options are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments;

(g) in consideration of the grant of Options, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of the Options or diminution in value of the Options or Shares received upon vesting of Options resulting from termination of your employment or other service-providing relationship with the Company or Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and you irrevocably releases the Company and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing this Agreement, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived your entitlement to pursue such claim; and

(h) in the event of the termination of your Continuous Service (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), your right to receive Options and vest under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that you are no longer actively employed or providing service and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment or service would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer providing Continuous Service for purposes of the Plan

16. Severability. If any one or more terms, provisions, covenants or restrictions contained herein shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, then the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.

17. Notices. Any notices provided for in this Master Agreement (including the Notice of Exercise required under Section 9 of this Master Agreement) or the Plan shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt, or in the case of notices delivered by mail, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail (or with another delivery service), certified or registered mail, return receipt requested or postage prepaid. Notices from the Company will be provided to you at the last address you provided to the Company and will be deemed effectively given to you at that address.

18. Signature in Counterparts. This Master Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

19. Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to participation in the Plan, Options granted under the Plan or future Options that may be granted under the Plan by electronic means or to request your consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.

20. Option Subject to Plan Document. By entering into this Master Agreement, you agree and acknowledge that you have received and read a copy of the Plan and this Master Agreement. The Option is subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, this Master Agreement and the applicable Grant Notice.

21. Choice of Law. The interpretation, performance and enforcement of hits Master Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Utah, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Master Agreement on the day and year first indicated above.

MASTER RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

This Master Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of __________________ by and between Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” ), and ___________________ (“Employee”) subject to the terms and conditions of the Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. 2006 Stock 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 terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Agreement.

Grant of Restricted Stock Units.

1.1 Master Agreement. By executing this Agreement, Employee agrees that this Agreement shall govern the term of all Restricted Stock Units granted to him or her under the Plan pursuant to a Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) that incorporates by reference the terms of this Agreement. Each Restricted Stock Unit grant that is intended to be governed by this Agreement shall incorporate all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall contain such other terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish for the grant of Restricted Stock Units covered by such Grant Notice. In the event of a conflict between the language of this Agreement and any Grant Notice, the language of the Grant Notice shall prevail with respect to that Grant Notice. In order to be effective, the Grant Notice must be executed by a duly authorized executive officer of the Company. Employee will not be required to sign each Grant Notice, but Employee shall be deemed to have accepted the Grant Notice (and all of the terms and conditions set forth therein) unless Employee provides written notice to the Plan Administrator of Employee’s rejection of the Grant Notice and all of the Restricted Stock Units granted thereunder within 20 days after receipt of the Grant Notice.

1.2 Grant of Restricted Stock Units. The Company grants to Employee an award of the number of Restricted Stock Units as set forth in each applicable Grant Notice. Each Restricted Stock Unit is a bookkeeping entry representing the Company’s unfunded promise to deliver one (1) share of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Share”), on the terms provided herein and in the Plan.

1.3 Vesting of Restricted Stock Units. The Restricted Stock Units shall vest on the dates (the “Vesting Dates”) and in the amounts set forth in the applicable Grant Notice provided that Employee remains in the Continuous Service of the Company or one of its Affiliates during the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending on each of the respective Vesting Dates (the “Vesting Period”) except as otherwise provided in Section 4:

1.4 Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, Restricted Stock Units shall be settled in Shares, provided that Employee has satisfied any tax withholding obligations pursuant to Section 9 below. Shares will be issued to Employee within a reasonable time following each Vesting Date (as evidenced by the appropriate entry in the books of the Company or a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), but in no event shall the Shares be issued after the period ending on the later to occur of the date that is 2 1/2 months from the end of (i) Employee’s tax year that includes the applicable Vesting Date, or (ii) the Company’s tax year that includes the applicable Vesting Date.

1.5 Stockholder Rights. Unless and until the Shares are issued by the Company after the Vesting Date, Employee 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 Restricted Stock Units.

1.6 Change of Control. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, if, during the two-year period following a Change of Control, Employee’s Continuous Service is terminated other than for Cause, or if Employee terminates his or her Continuous Service for “Good Reason,” the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units governed by this Agreement shall be accelerated such that all such Restricted Stock Units shall be deemed to be vested in full immediately prior to the termination of Employee’s Continuous Service.

For purposes of this Agreement:

“Cause” shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

“Change of Control” shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

“Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following, without the express written consent of Employee, after the occurrence of a Change of Control:

(a) the assignment to Employee of any duties inconsistent in any material adverse respect with Employee’s position, authority or responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to a Change of Control, or any other material adverse change in such position, including authority or responsibilities;

(b) any failure by the Company (or any successor company) to continue to provide Employee with base pay, incentive compensation opportunities, and other material benefits (including, but not limited to, savings plans, defined benefit plans, welfare benefit plans and perquisites) at a level which is, in the aggregate, at least equal to that in effect immediately prior to a Change of Control, but shall not include any reduction in incentive compensation opportunities or other material benefits that are part of an across-the-board reduction of the incentive compensation or other material benefits of employees who are similarly situated with respect to Employee;

(c) the Company’s (or any successor company’s) requiring Employee to be based at any office or location more than 49 miles from that location at which Employee performed his or her services immediately prior to the Change of Control, except for travel reasonably required in the performance of Employee’s responsibilities; or

(d) any failure by the Company or an Affiliate to obtain the commitment of any successor in interest or failure on the part of such successor in interest to perform the obligations to Employee under this Agreement or any employee-related obligations assumed by the successor in interest in connection with its acquisition of the Company or an Affiliate.

The occurrence of the events or conditions in clauses (a)-(d) shall not constitute Good Reason unless Employee provides written notice of the action(s) or omission(s) deemed to constitute Good Reason and the Company (or any successor company) or, if applicable, an Affiliate fails to remedy such action(s) or omission(s) within 30 days after the receipt of such written notice. In no event shall the mere occurrence of a Change of Control, absent any further impact on Employee, be deemed to constitute Good Reason.

2. Securities Law Compliance. Employee represents that Employee has received and carefully read a copy of the Prospectus for the Plan, together with the Company’s most recent Annual Report to Stockholders. Employee hereby acknowledges that Employee is aware of the risks associated with the Shares and that there can be no assurance the price of the Common Stock will not decrease in the future. Employee hereby acknowledges no representations or statements have been made to Employee concerning the value or potential value of the Common Stock. Employee acknowledges that Employee 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. Employee acknowledges that the Company has made no representations concerning the tax and other effects of the Restricted Stock Units and Employee represents that Employee has consulted with Employee’s own tax and other advisors concerning the tax and other effects of the Restricted Stock Units.

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

4. Termination of Employment. In the event Employee’s Continuous Service is terminated for any reason prior to the full vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder shall terminate to the extent they are not vested as of the termination of Employee’s Continuous Service (as described in Section 10.8), and Employee shall not have any right to receive any Shares subject to such unvested Restricted Stock Units.

5. Forfeiture. If at any time during Employee’s employment or at any time during the 12-month period following termination of Employee’s Continuous Service, a Forfeiture Event (as defined below) occurs, then at the election of the Committee, (a) this Agreement and all unvested Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder shall terminate, and (b) Employee shall return to the Company for cancellation all Shares held by Employee 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 Restricted Stock Units granted under this Agreement that vested (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: (i) conduct related to Employee’s employment for which criminal penalties may be sought, (ii) the commission of an act of fraud or intentional misrepresentation, (iii) embezzlement or misappropriation or conversion of assets or opportunities of the Company, (iv) any breach of the non-competition or non-solicitation provisions of the Key Employee Covenants previously provided to Employee, (v) disclosing or misusing any confidential or proprietary information of the Company in violation of the Key Employee Covenants, or any other non-disclosure agreement with the Company or other duty of confidentiality, or (vi) any other material breach of the Key Employee Covenants. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may waive at any time in writing this forfeiture provision and release Employee from liability hereunder.

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. Employee expressly acknowledges and agrees that the terms and provisions of this Agreement are subject in all respects to the provisions of the Plan. Employee also expressly acknowledges, agrees and represents as follows:

a. Acknowledges receipt of the Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, and represents that Employee is familiar with the provisions of the Plan, and that Employee 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 Employee and upon all persons at any time claiming any interest through Employee in the Restricted Stock Units or the Shares subject to this Agreement.

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 Employee from the requirements of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, and that Employee (to the extent Section 16(b) applies to Employee) shall not be exempt from such requirements pursuant to Rule 16b-3 unless and until Employee shall comply with all applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3, including without limitation, the possible requirement that Employee 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 Restricted Stock Unit was granted to Employee and the date upon which Employee desires to sell or otherwise dispose of any Share acquired under this award.

7. Representations And Warranties. As a condition to the receipt of any Shares upon vesting, the Company may require Employee 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. The obligations of the Company hereunder are subject to all applicable federal and state laws and to the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Common Stock is then listed and any other government or regulatory agency.

9. Taxes. Regardless of any action the Company or, if different, the Employee’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax (including federal, state and other taxes), social insurance, payroll tax or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), Employee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by Employee is and remains his or her responsibility and that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including the grant of the Restricted Stock Units, the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired at settlement and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Employee’s liability for Tax-Related Items.

Prior to vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, Employee agrees to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy any applicable Tax-Related Items in connection with the Restricted Stock Units. In this regard, if permissible under local law and regulations, Employee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with respect to Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) selling or arranging for the sale of Shares otherwise deliverable to Employee in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units; (ii) withholding from Employee’s wages or other cash compensation payable to Employee by the Company or the Employer; (iii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units; or (iv) withholding in Shares, provided that the Company only withholds the amount of Shares necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount. Finally, Employee will pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of Employee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to deliver any of the Shares if Employee fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items described in this Section.

10. Nature of Grant. In accepting the Restricted Stock Units and signing this Agreement, Employee acknowledges that:

10.1 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, unless otherwise provided in the Plan;

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

10.3 nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon Employee any right to continue in the employment or service of the Employer or the Company for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Employer or the Company, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to terminate Employee’s employment or service at any time for any reason, with or without cause except as may otherwise be provided pursuant to a separate written employment agreement;

10.4 all decisions with respect to future grants of Restricted Stock Units, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

10.5 Employee's participation in the Plan is voluntary;

10.6 Restricted Stock Units are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments;

10.7 in consideration of the grant of Restricted Stock Units, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of the Restricted Stock Units or diminution in value of the Restricted Stock Units or Shares received upon vesting of Restricted Stock Units resulting from termination of the Employee’s employment or other service-providing relationship with the Company or Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and Employee irrevocably releases the Company and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing this Agreement, Employee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim; and

10.8 in the event of the termination of Employee's Continuous Service (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), Employee’s right to receive Restricted Stock Units and vest under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that Employee is no longer actively employed or providing service and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment or service would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Employee is no longer providing Continuous Service for purposes of the Plan.

11. General 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 U.S. mail, registered or certified, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party entitled to such notice at the address indicated below such party’s signature line on this Agreement or at such other address as such party may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice under this Section to all other parties to this Agreement.

11.2 No 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 Employee. No waiver of any breach or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or condition, whether of like or different nature.

12. Miscellaneous Provisions.

12.1 Employee Undertaking. Employee hereby agrees to take whatever additional action and execute whatever additional documents the Company may deem necessary or advisable in order to carry out or effect one or more of the obligations or restrictions imposed on either Employee or the Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

12.2 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 (which is attached as Exhibit A).

12.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
