NU SKIN ENTERPRISES, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


1.     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 through a large network of independent distributors. The Company also distributes technology and telecommunications products and services through its distributors. The Company reports revenue from four geographic regions: North Asia, which consists of Japan and South Korea; Southeast Asia, which consists of Australia, Hong Kong (including Macau), Malaysia, New Zealand, the PRC (China), the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand; North America, which consists of the United States and Canada; and Other Markets, which consists of the Company’s markets in Brazil, Europe, Guatemala and Mexico (the Company’s subsidiaries operating in these countries are collectively referred to as its “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 generally accepted accounting principles 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 March 31, 2002 and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 and 2001. 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 for the year ended December 31, 2001.

2.     NET INCOME PER SHARE

  Net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Additionally, diluted earnings per share data give effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the periods presented.

3.     DIVIDENDS PER SHARE

  In February 2002, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share for all classes of common stock. This quarterly cash dividend of approximately $4.9 million was paid on March 27, 2002, to stockholders of record on March 8, 2002.

4.     DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

  The Company recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities, with the instruments measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on the intended use of the derivative and its resulting designation.


  The Company’s Subsidiaries enter into significant transactions with each other and third parties which may not be denominated in the respective Subsidiaries’ functional currencies. The Company seeks to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates through the use of foreign currency exchange contracts and through certain intercompany loans of foreign currency. The Company does not use such derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company regularly monitors its foreign currency risks and periodically

NU SKIN ENTERPRISES, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



  takes measures to reduce the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on the Company’s operating results. Gains and losses on certain intercompany loans of foreign currency are recorded as other income and expense in the consolidated statements of income.

  At March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Company held forward contracts designated as foreign currency cash flow hedges with notional amounts totaling approximately $86.5 million and $55.0 million, respectively, to hedge foreign currency intercompany items. All such contracts were denominated in Japanese yen. The net gains on foreign currency cash flow hedges recorded in current earnings were $2.3 million and $1.6 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Those contracts held at March 31, 2002 have maturities through April 2003 and accordingly, all unrealized gains on foreign currency cash flow hedges included in other comprehensive income at March 31, 2002 will be recognized in current earnings over the next twelve-month period.

5.     REPURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK

  During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company repurchased approximately 173,000 and 847,000 shares, respectively, of Class A common stock for approximately $1.4 million and $5.9 million, respectively.

6.     COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

  The components of comprehensive income, net of related tax, for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, were as follows (in thousands):

7.     GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

  The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”) effective January 1, 2002. Under the new standard, goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are no longer amortized but are subject to annual impairment tests. Other intangible assets with finite lives, such as developed technology, will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The transitional impairment tests were completed and did not result in an impairment charge.

  In accordance with SFAS 142, prior period amounts were not restated. A reconciliation of the previously reported net income and earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2001 to the amounts adjusted for the reduction of amortization expense, net of the related income tax effect, is as follows:

  Amortization expense for developed technology and other finite life intangible assets was approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. Annual estimated amortization expense is expected to approximate $1.5 million for each of the five succeeding fiscal years.

8.     SEGMENT INFORMATION

  The Company operates by selling products to a global distributor network of distributors that operates in a seamless manner from market to market. The Company’s largest expense is the cost of this distributor network and the Company manages its business, primarily, by managing this network. Accordingly, pursuant to SFAS 131, the Company believes that it operates a single operating segment. However, the Company does recognize revenue from sales to distributors in four geographic regions throughout the world: North Asia, Southeast Asia, North America and Other markets. Information as to the revenue of the Company in each of these regions is set forth below (in thousands):

  Revenue
Revenue from the Company’s operations in Japan totaled $117,058 and $121,841 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Revenue from the Company’s operations in the United States totaled $33,217 and $41,811 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

  Long-lived assets
Long-lived assets in Japan were $18,452 and $18,863 as of March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. Long-lived assets in the United States were $297,029 and $293,854 as of March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.

9.     NEW PRONOUNCEMENTS

  In September 2001, the EITF issued EITF 01-09, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or Reseller of the Vendor’s Products”, which addresses the accounting for consideration given by a vendor to a customer or a reseller of the vendor’s products. As the Company was previously reporting revenue in a manner consistent with this guidance, the adoption of EITF 01-09 did not have a significant effect on its financial statements.

  In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, which addresses the accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated retirement costs. SFAS 143 is effective January 1, 2003. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.

  In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, which addresses the accounting and reporting for the impairment and disposal of long-lived assets. The Company has adopted SFAS 144 effective January 1, 2002 and such adoption did not have a significant effect on its financial statements.

  In May 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of SFAS Nos. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of SFAS 13, and Technical Corrections as of April 2002". The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.

11.     SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

  On April 19, 2002, the Company acquired First Harvest International, LLC, a small dehydrated food manufacturer. The purchase price was approximately $3.5 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 the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on April 1, 2002 and all other Company filings, including Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC through the date of this Report.

2002 compared to 2001

         Revenue increased 3% to $216.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 from $210.3 million for the same period in 2001. The increase was due primarily to constant currency revenue growth in the Company's international markets, offsetting weakness in the United States, combining for overall constant currency growth of approximately 10% as compared to the prior year. This increase in local currency was offset by a weakening in foreign currencies, particularly the Japanese yen.

          Revenue in North Asia increased 1% to $131.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 from $130.0 million for the same period in 2001. This increase in revenue was due to revenue in South Korea increasing 75% to $14.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 from $8.1 million for the same prior-year period. In local currency, revenue in South Korea was 81% higher in the first quarter of 2002 compared to the same period in the prior year. Revenue was positively impacted by a 78% increase in executive distributors in that market compared to the prior-year period. In addition, recent product introductions from both the Nu Skin and Pharmanex divisions have driven revenue growth in South Korea. Revenue in Japan decreased 4% to $117.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 from $121.8 million for the same period in 2001. The decrease in revenue in Japan was due to the devaluation of the Japanese yen of 12% for the first quarter of 2002 compared to the same prior-year period. In local currency, revenue in Japan was 8% higher in the first quarter of 2002 compared to the prior year. Like South Korea, the revenue increase in Japan was driven by a 14% increase in executive distributors in Japan, the leveraging of technology tools and enhancements for distributors, as well as successful product introductions and growth in automated orders.

          Revenue in Southeast Asia increased 40% to $43.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 from $30.8 million for the same period in 2001. This increase in revenue was due to the combined revenue growth of Singapore and Malaysia to $15.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 from $4.7 million for the same prior-year period following the opening of operations in Singapore in December 2000 and the opening of operations in Malaysia in November 2001. Revenue results in Taiwan, which decreased 5% to $16.8 million for the first quarter of 2002 from $17.6 million in the same prior-year quarter, slightly offset the revenue increases in Southeast Asia. The decrease in revenue in Taiwan was due to the devaluation of the Taiwanese dollar of 8% for the first quarter of 2002 compared to the same prior-year period. In local currency, revenue in Taiwan was 3% higher in the first quarter of 2002 compared to the prior year. This local currency growth in Taiwan marks the first year-over-year local currency revenue gain in several years in this market. Executive distributors in Taiwan increased by 10% in the first quarter of 2002 compared to the same prior-year period. The growth in revenue and executive distributors in Taiwan is due to the recent success in increasing focus on direct selling fundamentals in the Company's operations in Taiwan.

          Revenue in North America, consisting of the United States and Canada, decreased 19% to $35.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 from $43.4 million for the same period in 2001. This decrease in revenue is due, in part, to a convention held in the United States in February 2001, which generated approximately $5.0 million in revenue for the first quarter of 2001 from sales to international distributors attending the convention. Without the impact of this additional revenue, revenue in the North America region would have decreased approximately 9% during the first quarter of 2002 compared to the same prior-year period and would have been essentially level with the fourth quarter of 2001. This decline is primarily due to reduced revenue from the Company's Internet service product and certain iLink telecommunications products.

          Revenue in the Company's other markets, which include its European and Latin American operations, increased 10% to $6.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 from $6.1 million for the same period in 2001. This increase in revenue is due to a 12% increase in revenue in Europe in U.S. dollar terms. The increase in revenue in Europe related to an additional $0.3 million in revenue in the first quarter of 2002 following the completion of an acquisition of a small venture in Poland, as well as an increase of approximately 40% in executive distributor count in Europe.

         Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly to 79.6% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 from 79.8% for the same prior-year period. The decrease in gross profit percentage resulted from the weakening of the Japanese yen and other currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, and was somewhat offset by core margin improvement in its existing product lines. The Company purchases a significant majority of its goods in U.S. dollars and recognizes revenue in local currencies. Consequently, the Company is subject to exchange rate risks in its gross margins.

         Distributor incentives as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly to 38.3% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 compared to 38.9% for the same prior-year period. This decrease in distributor incentives as a percentage of revenue is a result of the Company's minor compensation plan enhancements intended to focus compensation dollars on programs benefiting the distributors and distributor leaders who are most active in generating revenue for the Company.

          Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 31.8% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 compared to 34.7% for the same prior-year period. In U.S. dollar terms, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $68.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 compared to $72.9 million for the same period in the prior year. This decrease was due primarily to the additional $5.0 million of convention expense recorded in the first quarter of 2001, a reduction of $2.7 million in amortization of intangibles in 2002 relating to the implementation of SFAS 142 in the first quarter of 2002 and the Company's cost-saving initiatives resulting in lower headcount and occupancy costs. These decreases in expenses were somewhat offset by the $2.5 million of additional expenditures related to the Company's sponsorship of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City in 2002.

          Other income (expense), net decreased approximately $7.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002, compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily a result of the foreign currency gains recorded in the first quarter of 2001.

          Provision for income taxes increased slightly to $7.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 from $7.4 million for the same prior-year period. This increase is due to the increase in operating income offset by the decrease in other income (expense), net as compared to the same prior-year period.

          Net income increased to $12.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 from $12.6 million for the same prior-year period. Net income increased primarily because of the factors noted above in "revenue," "gross profit," "distributor incentives" and "selling, general and administrative" and was somewhat offset by the factors noted in "other income (expense), net" and "provision for income taxes" above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

          Historically, the Company's principal needs for funds have been for operating expenses including distributor incentives, working capital (principally inventory purchases), capital expenditures and the development of operations in new markets. The Company has generally relied on cash flow from operations to meet its cash needs and business objectives without incurring long-term debt to fund operating activities.

         The Company typically generates positive cash flow from operations due to favorable gross margins, the variable nature of distributor incentives which comprise a significant percentage of operating

-10-

expenses and minimal capital requirements. The Company generated $15.1 million in cash from operations during the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 compared to $6.1 million during the same prior-year period. This increase in cash generated from operations in 2002 compared to the same prior-year period is primarily related to increased operating profits as well as reduced tax payments in 2002 compared to 2001, in part, due to the utilization of foreign tax credits, and was somewhat offset by purchases of inventory for operations in Japan, the Company's largest market.

          As of March 31, 2002, working capital was $153.7 million compared to $152.5 million as of December 31, 2001. Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 were $73.8 million and $75.9 million, respectively.

          Capital expenditures, primarily for equipment, computer systems and software, office furniture and leasehold improvements, were $2.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002. In addition, the Company anticipates additional capital expenditures in 2002 of approximately $20 million to further enhance its infrastructure, including enhancements to computer systems and Internet related software in order to expand the Company's Internet capabilities, as well as further expansion of the Company's retail stores and related infrastructure in China.

          On March 6, 2002, the Company paid $4.8 million (including acquisition costs) to acquire a diagnostic technology relating to daily nutritional supplementation. In addition to the cash payment, the acquisition also consisted of the issuance of approximately $900,000 or 106,667 shares of the Company's Class A common stock and includes contingent payments approximating $8.5 million and up to 1.2 million shares of the Company's Class A common stock if certain development and revenue targets are met.

          On April 19, 2002, the Company acquired First Harvest International, LLC, a small dehydrated food manufacturer. The purchase price was approximately $3.5 million.

         The Company's long-term debt consists of 9.7 billion Japanese yen of ten-year senior notes (the "Notes") to The Prudential Insurance Company of America. The Notes bear interest at an effective rate of 3.03% per annum and are due October 2010, with annual principal payments beginning October 2004. As of March 31, 2002, the outstanding balance on the Notes was 9.7 billion Japanese yen, or $73.1 million.

         On May 10, 2001, the Company entered into a $60.0 million revolving credit agreement (the "Revolving Credit Facility") with Bank of America, N.A. and Bank One, N.A. for which Bank of America, N.A. acted as agent. The proceeds may be used for working capital, capital expenditures and other purposes including repurchases of the Company's outstanding shares of Class A common stock. There were no outstanding balances relating to the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2002. The Revolving Credit Facility was reduced to $45.0 million on May 10, 2002, and will be further reduced to $30.0 million on May 10, 2003. The Revolving Credit Facility is set to expire on May 10, 2004.

          Since August 1998, the board of directors has authorized the Company to repurchase up to $70.0 million of the Company's outstanding shares of Class A common stock. The repurchases are used primarily to fund the Company's equity incentive plans. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2002, the Company repurchased approximately 173,000 shares of Class A common stock for an aggregate price of approximately $1.4 million. As of March 31, 2002, the Company had repurchased a total of approximately 6.8 million shares of Class A common stock for an aggregate price of approximately $60.1 million.

          In February 2002, the board of directors authorized the Company to declare a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share for all classes of common stock. This quarterly cash dividend of $4.9 million was paid on March 27, 2002, to stockholders of record on March 8, 2002. On May 9, 2002, the board of directors authorized the Company to declare a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share to stockholders of record on June 7, 2002 for all classes of common stock to be paid on June 26, 2002. In addition, the Company anticipates that the board of directors will continue to declare quarterly cash dividends

-11-

throughout the remainder of 2002. Management believes that the cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund future dividend payments.

          The Company had related party payables of $6.9 million and $7.1 million at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. In addition, the Company had related party receivables of $12.0 million and $13.0 million, respectively, at those dates. These balances are largely related to the Company's acquisition of Big Planet, Inc. and the acquisition of certain assets of Nu Skin USA, which were completed during 1999 as well as a $6.5 million loan to a significant stockholder, partly collateralized by Company stock. This loan was repaid with shares of the Company's stock on May 3, 2002. For a further discussion of related party transactions, reference is made to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 and the Company's definitive Proxy Statement dated April 12, 2002.

          Management considers the Company to be sufficiently liquid to be able to meet its obligations on both a short- and long-term basis. Management currently believes existing cash balances together with future cash flows from operations will be adequate to fund cash needs relating to the implementation of the Company's strategic plans. The majority of the Company's expenses are variable in nature and as such, a potential reduction in the level of revenue would reduce the Company's cash flow needs. However, in the event that the Company's current cash balances, future cash flow from operations and current lines of credit are not sufficient to meet its obligations or strategic needs, the Company would consider raising additional funds in the capital or equity markets or restructuring its current debt obligations. Additionally, the Company would consider realigning its strategic plans, including a reduction in capital spending and a reduction in the level of stock repurchases or dividend payments.

Critical Accounting Policies

          For a complete review of the Company's significant accounting policies and new accounting pronouncements that may impact the Company's results refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. The Company adopted the provisions of Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS 142") effective January 1, 2002. As a result of a review of all such assets, including Company and independent third party judgment and analysis, operating results for the first quarter of 2002 were impacted by a $2.7 million reduction of amortization of goodwill and other indefinite life intangibles. As of March 31, 2002, the Company had approximately $160 million of unamortized goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets. SFAS 142 requires that these assets be tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142. The transitional impairment tests were completed and did not result in an impairment charge. To the extent an impairment is identified, the Company will record the amount of the impairment as an operating expense in the period in which it is identified.

          As of January 1, 2002, the Company adopted EITF 01-09, which relates to revenue recognition principles as well as the classifications of certain promotional items as cost of goods sold rather than operating expenses. The impact of the adoption of EITF 01-09 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In the event certain of the Company's expenses, including its distributor incentives, were deemed to be a reduction of revenue rather than an operating expense, the Company's reported revenue would be reduced as would its operating expenses. However, as the Company's compensation plan to its distributors does not provide rebates or selling discounts to distributors who purchase the Company's products and services, management believes that no adjustment to revenue and operating expenses is necessary.

Seasonality

          In addition to general economic factors, the direct selling industry is 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 such quarter. Management believes that direct selling in Japan, the United States and Europe is also

-12-

generally negatively impacted during the month of August, which is in the Company's third quarter, when many individuals, including the Company's distributors, traditionally take vacations.

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 who were resident in the countries in which the Company operated and purchased products during the three months ended as of the date indicated. An executive distributor is an active distributor who has achieved required monthly personal and group sales volumes.

    As of March 31, 2002 As of March 31, 2001
            Active              Executive              Active              Executive     
  North Asia 311,000         17,727         287,000         14,994

Currency Risk and Exchange Rate Information

          A majority of the Company's revenue and many of the Company's expenses are recognized primarily outside of the United States except for inventory purchases which are primarily transacted in U.S. dollars from vendors in the United States. Each subsidiary's local currency is considered the functional currency. All revenue and expenses are translated at weighted average exchange rates for the periods reported. Therefore, the Company's 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. In early 2002, the yen depreciated in value relative to the U.S. dollar. If such relative values of the yen continue throughout 2002, the Company's reported revenue and earnings will be negatively impacted.

          Given the uncertainty of exchange rate fluctuations, the Company cannot estimate the effect of these fluctuations on the Company's future business, product pricing, results of operations or financial condition. However, because a majority of the Company's revenue is realized in local currencies and the majority of the Company's cost of sales is denominated in U.S. dollars, the Company's gross profits will be positively affected by a weakening in the U.S. dollar and will be negatively affected by strengthening in the U.S. dollar. The Company seeks to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates through the use of foreign currency exchange contracts, through intercompany loans of foreign currency and through its Japanese yen denominated debt. The Company does not use such derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company regularly monitors its foreign currency risks and periodically takes measures to reduce the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on the Company's operating results.

          The Company recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities, with the instruments measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on the intended use of the derivative and its resulting designation. The Company's foreign currency derivatives are comprised of over-the-counter forward contracts with major international financial institutions. As of March 31, 2002, the Company had $86.5 million of such contracts with expiration dates through April 2003. All such contracts were denominated in Japanese yen. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2002, the Company recorded $2.3 million of gains in operating income, and $35,000 in other comprehensive income related to its forward contracts. Based on the Company's foreign exchange contracts at March 31, 2002, as discussed in Note 4 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, 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 such contracts. This potential loss does not consider the underlying foreign currency transaction or translation exposures of the Company.

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

          With the exception of historical facts, the statements contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Reform Act") which reflect the Company's current expectations and beliefs regarding the future results of operations, performance and achievements of the Company. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and are based upon assumptions and beliefs that may not materialize. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning:

  the Company's belief that existing cash and cash flow from operations will be adequate to fund cash needs;

  the expectation that the Company will spend $20 million for capital expenditures during the remainder of 2002; and

  the anticipation that cash will be sufficient to pay future dividends.

         In addition, when used in this report, the words or phrases, "will likely result," "expects," "anticipates," "will continue," "intends," "plans," "believes," "the Company or management believes," and similar expressions are intended to help identify forward-looking statements.

          The Company wishes to caution readers that various risk and uncertainties could cause the Company's actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those discussed or anticipated, including the risks and uncertainties described below and the risks and uncertainties identified under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, which contains a more detailed discussion of the risks and uncertainties related to the Company's business and are incorporated herein by reference. The Company also wishes to advise readers not to place any undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which reflect the Company's beliefs and expectations only as of the date of this Report. The Company assumes no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances or any changes in its beliefs or expectations. Important factors, 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 the Company’s sales are generated from the Asian regions, particularly Japan, significant variations in operating results including revenue, gross margin and earnings from those expected could be caused by

    renewed or sustained weakness of Asian economies or consumer confidence, or

    weakening of foreign currencies, particularly the Japanese yen.

  (b) There is some uncertainty concerning the long-term effect of recent initiatives. There can be no assurance that such initiatives will continue to be successful or that planned initiatives for future periods will have a similar impact. In addition, there is a risk that the implementation of planned and recently announced initiatives and strategies could create renewed confusion or uncertainty among distributors and not increase distributor productivity. In addition, costs associated with these initiatives could be greater than anticipated.

  (c) The ability of the Company to retain its key and executive level distributors or to sponsor new executive distributors is critical to the Company's success. Because the Company's products are distributed exclusively through its distributors, the Company's operating results could be adversely affected if the Company's existing and new business opportunities and products do not generate sufficient economic incentive to retain its existing distributors or to sponsor new distributors on a sustained basis.


-14-

  (d) The Company is subject to various laws and regulations throughout the Company's markets, many of which involve a high level of subjectivity and are inherently fact based and subject to interpretation. If the Company's existing business practices or products, or any new initiatives or products, are challenged by any governmental agency or other third party, the Company's revenue and profitability could be negatively impacted.

  (e) Risks associated with the Company's new product offerings and initiatives planned for 2002, including:

    the risk that such products will not gain market acceptance or meet the Company's expectations,

    the risk that sales from such product offerings could reduce sales of existing products and not generate significant incremental revenue growth or help increase distributor numbers and productivity,

    technological problems or legal or regulatory restrictions that might delay or prevent the Company from offering its new products and initiatives into all of its markets or limit the ability of the Company to effectively market such products.

  (f) The network marketing industry and nutritional supplement industry have received negative publicity from time to time in the past. Recently, the nutritional supplement industry has received negative press related to the use of supplements by athletes. The Company similarly has experienced negative publicity from time to time as a participant in these industries. There is a risk that the Company could receive negative publicity in the future related to its marketing practices or new initiatives or products. Any such adverse publicity could negatively impact the ability of the Company to successfully attract new distributors and grow revenue.

The cash payment at Closing shall be allocated among the Sellers as set forth in Schedule 2.2 to this Agreement. As additional purchase consideration, Purchaser shall make the following payments to Sellers after the Closing:

          (a)       As described in Section 2.2(d) hereof, after the end of each calendar quarter beginning with the calendar quarter in which the Scanner Production Date occurs, Purchaser shall pay to Sellers in the aggregate cash consideration in an amount equal to seven percent (7%) of Scanned/Downline Nutritional Sales made during such quarter. Such additional payments shall continue through the calendar quarter during which the [Confidential Treatment Requested] anniversary of the Scanner Production Date occurs (the “First Period”); provided that if (i) Purchaser has distributed at least [Confidential Treatment Requested] Scanners in the United States during the First Period, and (ii) the total payments made pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) do not equal Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), then Purchaser shall pay Sellers an additional amount necessary to bring the total payments under this Section 2.2(a) to Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000); provided further, however, that the aggregate amount paid to the Sellers pursuant to this Section 2.2 (a) through Section 2.2 (c) hereof shall not exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).

          (b)       If the aggregate amount paid to Sellers pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof is less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), then, as described in Section 2.2(d) hereof, after the end of each calendar quarter during the year immediately following the First Period (the “Second Period”), Purchaser shall pay to Sellers in the aggregate cash consideration in an amount equal to seven percent (7%) of Scanned/Downline Nutritional Sales made during such quarter; provided that the aggregate amount paid to the Sellers pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof, this Section 2.2(b) and Section 2.2 (c) hereof shall not exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).

          (c)       If the aggregate amount paid to Sellers pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof and Section 2.2(b) hereof is less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), then, as described in Section 2.2(d) hereof, after the end of each calendar quarter during the year immediately following the Second Period, Purchaser shall pay to Sellers in the aggregate cash consideration in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of Scanned/Downline Nutritional Sales made during such quarter; provided, however, that the aggregate amount paid to the Sellers pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof, Section 2.2(b) hereof and this Section 2.2(c) shall not exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).

          (d)       All amounts payable to Sellers under Sections 2.2(a), 2.2(b) or 2.2(c) shall be allocated among the Sellers in the percentages indicated on Schedule 2.2. Such

8

  amounts shall be paid to Sellers on the date that is twenty (20) days after the delivery of the Contingent Payment Notice (as defined below).

          (e)       All payments to be made pursuant to Sections 2.2(a), 2.2(b) and 2.2(c) shall be subject to the following provisions. Within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar quarter from the Scanner Production Date through the [Confidential Treatment Requested] anniversary of the Scanner Production Date, Purchaser shall deliver to each Seller a notice (the “Contingent Payment Notice”) setting forth the amount of Scanned/Downline Nutritional Sales for the period relevant to the calculation of the payment to be made pursuant to Sections 2.2(a), 2.2(b) or 2.2(c), as the case may be. If any Seller wishes to dispute the amount of such payment due then, within twenty (20) days of the receipt of the Contingent Payment Notice, such Seller must deliver to Purchaser a written notice setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for the dispute. The failure of a Seller to deliver such written notice of dispute within the specified time period shall be deemed to constitute acceptance by such Seller of the information and calculations set forth in the Contingent Payment Notice. Promptly after the receipt of such written notice of dispute, an appropriate representative of Purchaser and the disputing Seller shall attempt to reconcile their differences and any resolution by them as to the dispute shall be final, binding and conclusive on Purchaser and each Seller. If Purchaser and the disputing Seller are not able to resolve the dispute within fifteen (15) business days of the delivery of the notice indicating a dispute, Purchaser and the disputing Seller shall submit the items remaining in dispute for resolution to an independent third party knowledgeable in such matters (which may be an independent accounting firm or consultant of national reputation) mutually acceptable to Purchaser and the disputing Seller, which shall, within ninety (90) days of such submission, report in writing to Purchaser and each Seller as to the resolution of such dispute, and such report shall be final, binding and conclusive on Purchaser and each Seller. The fees and disbursements of such third party shall be allocated between Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller (or Sellers) asserting the dispute, on the other, in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the disputed items submitted to such third party which are unsuccessfully disputed by Purchaser and such Sellers (as determined by the third party) bears to the total amount of disputed items so submitted. Purchaser will only be obligated to make payments to Sellers under Sections 2.2(a), 2.2(b) or 2.2(c) while a dispute is pending for amounts of payments under Sections 2.2(a), 2.2(b), or 2.2(c) that are not in dispute under this Section 2.2.

          (f)       In the event Purchaser or its Affiliates are required to withhold taxes under applicable laws with respect to the contingent payments tied to a percentage of sales, Sellers acknowledge that the payments required to be paid under Sections 2.2(a), 2.2(b) and 2.2(c) shall be paid net of any such withholding taxes and the amount of such withholding taxes shall be considered part of the payment to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.2 and included in the determination of the aggregate amount paid to the Sellers.

         2.3      Assets and Liabilities of the Company at Closing.

         At the Closing, the Company shall own or possess only the Assets. Sellers, but excluding UURF, shall cause (a) all assets of the Company except the Assets to be distributed by

9

         9.6      Confidential Information.

          The parties hereto each agree that they shall at all times take all reasonably necessary steps to safeguard the confidentiality of proprietary information of the other parties disclosed by or on behalf of such party in connection with the Transaction Agreements, that such information will be used solely for the purpose of the transaction described herein, and that such information will not be disclosed to any third party without the prior written consent of the disclosing party; provided, however, that a party may disclose:

          (a)        Information which at the time of the disclosure is part of the public knowledge and readily accessible to such third party; and

          Information that is required by law to be disclosed. The parties agree that all information related to the parties' negotiation of this Agreement and the terms and conditions

27

hereof are confidential and proprietary information for purposes of this Section 9.6. The parties further agree that if the Closing does not occur, each of them will return to the other party any and all material containing or reflecting such information. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, if the Closing does not occur, Sellers and the Company agree to keep confidential at all times all information related to Purchaser and its Affiliates, including the identities of Purchaser and such Affiliates.

SECTION 10. POST-CLOSING COVENANTS

         10.1      Expenses.

          Except as otherwise provided in Section 11 hereof, the parties agree that they will each bear their own respective costs and expenses incurred at any time in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements, including the fees and expenses of legal counsel and

         10.2      Further Assignments and Assurances.

          If at any time after the Closing legal counsel for Purchaser or Sellers shall deem it necessary, advisable or appropriate to take further or additional steps for the purpose of assigning, transferring, conveying, perfecting and/or confirming or reducing to possession the Shares or the Assets, as the case may be, then the other party shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any such assignments, conveyances, certificates or other documents or instruments of transfer consistent with the terms of this Agreement as may reasonably be requested by legal counsel.

         10.3      Seller's Notices and Consents.

          In the event that any of Sellers' Notices and Consents were not furnished or obtained prior to Closing, then Sellers shall furnish any applicable notices as soon as practicable and take appropriate actions to obtain any applicable consents as promptly as possible. Sellers shall use their best good faith efforts to diligently prosecute to full completion any of Seller's Notices and Consents not furnished or obtained prior to Closing. In the prosecution of Sellers' Notices and Consents, Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Company to, promptly comply with all reasonable requests for information or documentation and all other commercially reasonable requests required by the Person whose consent or approval is required.

Notwithstanding this Section 10.4, Purchaser and its

28

Affiliates must comply with the terms of the License regarding any transfer, assignment, or sublicense of the License to any third party.

         10.5      Acceleration of Purchase Price Payment in the Event of the Sale of the Company.

          Following the Closing, in the event that all of the outstanding stock of the Company or all or substantially all of the assets of the Company are sold (an "Acquisition") to a third party (the "Acquirer"), Purchaser shall pay to Sellers, at the time of the consummation of the Acquisition, any unpaid portion of the Purchase Price (assuming for this purpose that the aggregate amount to be paid to Sellers under Sections 2.2(a), 2.2(b) and 2.2(c) hereof is $5,000,000), unless one or both of the following conditions are met:

         (a)      Sellers consent to the Acquisition in writing prior to or upon the consummation of the Acquisition; or

         (b)       Nathan W. Ricks maintains a significant managerial role in the development, marketing, and use of the Intellectual Property Assets by the Acquirer after the consummation of the Acquisition.

          For the avoidance of doubt, the Sellers hereby acknowledge their consent to the acquisition of Purchaser by Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. or its Affiliate, whether by stock purchase, merger or otherwise, and agree that such transaction will not accelerate the payment of the Purchase Price under this Section 10.5.

SECTION 11. INDEMNIFICATION

         11.1      General Indemnification Obligations.

             (a)       Indemnification by Sellers. Purchaser, its Affiliates and their successors and assigns, and the officers, directors, employees and agents of Purchaser, its Affiliates and their successors and assigns (each a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by each Seller (other than UURF who shall have no obligation under this Section 11.1), severally and not jointly, for any and all debts, liabilities and obligations, whether accrued or fixed, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured or determined or determinable (collectively, “Liabilities”), losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses)

29

suffered or incurred by them (including, without limitation, any claim, action, suit, injury, proceeding or investigation before any Governmental Authority or taxing authority brought or otherwise initiated by any of them) (hereinafter a “Loss”), arising out of or resulting from:

           (i)        the breach by the indemnifying Seller of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.2 and Section 3.6 hereof and the breach by any Seller of any representation or warranty made elsewhere in Section 3 hereof; or

           (ii)        the breach by the indemnifying Seller of any covenant or agreement made by such Seller in this Agreement; or

           (iii)        any Liabilities whether arising before or after the Closing Date, arising from or relating to the ownership or actions or inactions of the Company or the LLC or the conduct of their respective businesses prior to the Closing Date; or

           (iv)        any or all Losses suffered or incurred by reason of or in connection with any claim or cause of action of any third party to the extent (A) arising out of any action, inaction, event, condition, liability or obligation of the indemnifying Seller (to the extent such action, inaction, event, condition, liability or obligation is attributable to one or more specific Sellers), or (B) arising out of any action, inaction, event, conditon, liability or obligation of any Seller (to the extent such action, inaction, event, condition, liability or obligation is attributable to all Sellers or the Company), but only if occurring or existing prior to the Closing Date; or

           (v)        any and all Losses suffered or incurred as a result of the failure of the indemnifying Seller, the Company or the LLC to obtain prior to the Closing Date the consent of all third-parties who are parties to contracts with the Company or the LLC (including, but not limited to, the License), the terms of which such contracts require the consent of such third-parties to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or

           (vi)        any and all Taxes with respect to any taxable period or a portion thereof, of the Company ending on or before the Closing Date; or

           (vii)        any and all Losses suffered or incurred as a result of any claim by any current or former stockholder, employee or consultant of Caroderm or the Company or any current or former member, employee or consultant of Spectrotek that relates to or arises out of any claim of entitlement by such stockholder or member to any fees, royalties or other compensation not expressly contemplated by the Transaction Agreements; or

           (viii)        any and all Losses suffered or incurred that relate to or arise out of any controversy with respect to the clarification of the scope of the fields of uses of the various licenses that is set forth in the MOU.

Any right of a Purchaser Indemnified Party to be indemnified and held harmless for Liabilities or

30

Losses pursuant to this Section 11.1(a) that arises under more than one of clauses (i) through (viii) above shall be deemed to arise out of each and every such clause that is applicable, so that the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification under any applicable clause.

             (b)      Indemnification by Purchaser. Purchaser and its Affiliates shall defend and indemnify Sellers (other than UURF) and hold Sellers (other than UURF) harmless from and against any Losses caused by third-party claims resulting from or arising out of (i) any Covenant Breach or Warranty Breach by Purchaser or (ii) claims arising from the operations of the Company after the Closing Date, including from the Company’s failure to pay any liabilities owed by it, provided that such liabilities relate to periods after the Closing Date.

             (c)       Except for any Losses arising out of a breach in the representations contained in Section 3.6 hereof, arising as a result of fraud or a breach of any covenant or agreement made by the applicable Sellers in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the convenant made by the applicable Sellers in Section 2.3 hereof), or arising as a result of any claim or controversy covered by Section 11.1(a)(vii) or Section 11.1(a)(viii) hereof, no claim may be made against the Sellers for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.1(a) hereof with respect to any claims of Losses, unless, and then only to the extent that, the aggregate amount of all such Losses of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties exceeds $100,000. The indemnification obligations of any Seller under Section 11.1(a)(i) and Section 11.1(a)(iii) through (vi) hereof related to a breach of a representation or warranty (excluding those arising out of a breach of the representations contained in Section 3.6 hereof or as a result of fraud or a breach of any covenant or agreement made by the applicable Sellers in this Agreement), and of the Purchaser to any Seller under Section 11.1(b) hereof, shall be effective only until the dollar amount paid by such Seller in respect of Losses indemnified against in Section 11.1(a) hereof, or by Purchaser to any Seller in respect of Losses indemnified against in Section 11.1(b) hereof, aggregates to an amount equal to the total Purchase Price paid to such Seller; provided, to the extent that Purchaser’s Losses exceed the total Purchase Price paid, such Losses will be deducted from any future payments of Purchase Price otherwise payable to such Seller under Section 2.2 hereof. To the extent that any person’s undertaking set forth in this Section 11.1 may be unenforceable, such person shall contribute the maximum amount that they are permitted to contribute under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Losses incurred by a Seller, Purchaser or the Company, as the case may be.

             (d)       Any person entitled to indemnification pursuant to Sections 11.1(a) or 11.1(b) hereof (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give the indemnifying party notice of any matter which an Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, within 45 days of such determination, stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release any indemnifying party from any of its obligations under this Section 11.1 except to the extent such indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve any indemnifying party from any other obligation or Liability that they may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Section 11.1. The obligations and Liabilities of the parties under this Section 11.1 with respect to Losses arising from claims of any third party which are subject to the indemnification provided for in this Section 11.1 (“Third Party Claims”) shall be governed

31

by the following additional terms and conditions: if an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give the indemnifying party notice of such Third Party Claim within 30 days of the receipt by the Indemnified Party of such notice; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release any indemnifying party from any of its obligations under this Section 11.1 except to the extent such indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve any indemnifying party from any other obligation or Liability that they may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Section 11.1. If an indemnifying party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder against any Losses that may result from such Third Party Claim, then such indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at their expense and through counsel of its choice and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within 15 days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the judgment of the Indemnified Party, in its sole and absolute discretion, for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and any indemnifying party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel, in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required, at the expense of the indemnifying party. In the event the indemnifying party exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the indemnifying party in such defense and make available to the indemnifying party, at the indemnifying party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the indemnifying party. Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the indemnifying party’s expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the indemnifying party’s possession or under the indemnifying party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party. No such Third Party Claim may be settled by any indemnifying party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.

         11.2      Satisfaction of Indemnification Claims.

          In addition to any other recourse or actions available to a Purchaser Indemnified Party, Purchaser may collect any amounts owed by any Sellers (other than UURF) to a Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 11.1(a) hereof by reducing the Purchase Price (if any) payable to such Seller under the terms of this Agreement upon notice to the Seller of such fact.

         11.3      Indemnification Limitations.

          Neither Purchaser nor Sellers shall have liability or obligation to indemnify the other for any claims presented for payment or indemnification after the later of (i) the three-year anniversary of the Closing Date or (ii) the date that Purchaser's obligation to Sellers under Section 2.2 hereof are satisfied.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

        AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of March 6, 2002 (the “Agreement”), among Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Niksun Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Sub”), Worldwide Nutritional Science, Inc., a Utah corporation (the “Company”), Nathan W. Ricks, as trustee of The Joyce Ricks Family Trust, Nathan W. Ricks, as trustee of the Buckhorn Holdings Trust (each a “Stockholder” and collectively the “Stockholders”) and Nathan W. Ricks, in his individual capacity (the “Stockholder Representative”).

        WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Parent, Sub and the Company have declared this Agreement to be advisable, and the Boards of Directors of Parent and Sub have each approved the merger of the Company with and into Sub (the “Merger”) in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”) and the Board of Directors of the Company has approved the Merger in accordance with the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act (“URBCA”), in each case upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

        WHEREAS, as a condition and inducement to Parent’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, Parent, the Stockholders and the Stockholder Representative are entering into an agreement dated as of the date hereof and substantially in the form of Exhibit A, pursuant to which each Stockholder has agreed, among other things, to vote all shares of Common Stock of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) owned or acquired by him in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Voting Agreement” and, together with this Agreement, the “Transaction Agreements”);

        WHEREAS, as a condition and inducement to Parent’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, on the Effective Date (as defined below) Parent and Dr. Robert C. McClane and Dr. Werner Gellermann have agreed to enter into agreements substantially in the forms of Exhibit C (the “Consulting Agreement”); and

        WHEREAS, for Federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger shall qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Parent, Sub, the Company, the Stockholders and the Stockholder Representative hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

         Section 1.1      The Merger.

        Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the DGCL and URBCA, at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2), the Company shall be merged with and into Sub. As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of the Company shall cease and Sub shall continue as the surviving corporation of the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”). At Parent’s election, the Merger may alternatively be structured so that any direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent may be substituted for Sub as a constituent corporation in the Merger. In the event of such an election, the parties agree to execute an appropriate amendment to this Agreement in order to reflect such election.

         Section 1.2      Effective Time.

        As soon as practicable after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by (i) filing a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, in such form as required by and executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL and (ii) filing articles of merger with the Utah Division of Corporations and Commercial Code, in such form as required by and executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the URBCA (the date and time of the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (or such later time as is specified in the Certificate of Merger and mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto) being the “Effective Time”).

         Section 1.3      Effects of the Merger.

        The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the applicable provisions of the DGCL and the URBCA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject thereto, at the Effective Time all the property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of the Company and Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

         Section 1.4      Certificate of Incorporation; By-Laws.

         (a)       At the Effective Time and without any further action on the part of the Company and Sub, the Certificate of Incorporation of Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter and further amended as provided therein and under the DGCL.

         (b)       At the Effective Time and without any further action on the part of the Company and Sub, the By-Laws of Sub shall be the By-Laws of the Surviving Corporation and thereafter may be amended or repealed in accordance with their terms or the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and as provided by law.

2

         Section 1.5      Directors and Officers.

        The directors of Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Surviving Corporation, and the officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed (as the case may be) and qualified. If any such person shall for any reason be unable or unwilling to serve, such person’s replacement shall be selected before the Effective Time by Parent.

         Section 1.6      Conversion of Securities.

        At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Sub, the Company or the holders of any of their securities:

         (a)       Subject to Section 1.7, all of the Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Company Common Stock to be canceled in accordance with Section 1.6(b) hereof) shall be converted into the right to receive an aggregate of (x) 106,667 fully paid and nonassessable shares (the “Stock Consideration”) of Parent’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Parent Common Stock”), and (y) $700,000 in cash (the “Cash Consideration” and, together with the Stock Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”). As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 1.8, without interest. The per share Merger Consideration to be paid to each holder of a share of Company Common Stock shall be determined by dividing the total Stock Consideration and the total Cash Consideration by the total number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and shall be payable to each holder of Company Common Stock upon the surrender of the certificate formerly representing such share of Company Common Stock.

         (b)       Each share of Company Common Stock that is held in the treasury of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be cancelled and retired without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto.

         (c)       Each share of common stock of Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding and shall thereafter constitute all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

         (d)       Notwithstanding Section 1.6(a), if the cash portion of the Merger Consideration is worth more than the stock portion of such payment at the Effective Time, then the cash and stock amounts shall be adjusted so that the cash portion represents less than 50% of such Merger Consideration at such time.

3

         Section 1.7      Fractional Interests.

        No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger, and such fractional interests will not entitle the owner thereof to any rights of a stockholder of Parent. In lieu of any such fractional interests, each holder of shares of Company Common Stock exchanged pursuant to Section 1.6(a) who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock then held of record by such holder) shall receive cash (without interest) in an amount equal to the product of such fractional part of a share of Parent Common Stock multiplied by the closing price of a share of Parent Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange Inc. (the “NYSE”) as reported by The Wall Street Journal (or if not reported thereby, any other authoritative source) on the Closing Date, rounded to the nearest cent.

         Section 1.8      Surrender of Shares of Company Common Stock.

         (a)        Parent shall act as agent for the holders of shares of Company Common Stock in connection with the Merger to deliver the shares of Parent Common Stock and cash to which holders of shares of Company Common Stock shall become entitled pursuant to Sections 1.6(a) and 1.7. When and as needed, Parent will make available sufficient shares of Parent Common Stock and cash to make all exchanges pursuant to Section 1.8(b).

         (b)       Promptly after the Effective Time, the Stockholder Representative shall cause each record holder, as of the Effective Time, of an outstanding certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Common Stock (the “Certificates”), to deliver all such Certificates to Parent. Upon surrender to Parent of a Certificate, and any other documents as may be required by Parent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, (i) a certificate representing that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.6(a), (ii) the cash which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.6(a) and (iii) cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.7, after giving effect to any required tax withholdings, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. If the exchange of certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock is to be made to a person other than the person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition of exchange that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange shall have paid any transfer and other taxes required by reason of the exchange of certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock to a person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such tax either has been paid or is not applicable.

         (c)       At any time following six months after the Effective Time, Parent shall not be required to make available shares of Parent Common Stock and cash for disbursement to holders of Certificates who have not delivered their Certificates to Parent, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the shares of

4

Parent Common Stock and any cash payable upon due surrender of their Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by law, none of the Surviving Corporation or Parent shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate for shares of Parent Common Stock or cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

         (d)       At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates evidencing ownership of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable law.

         (e)       No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the whole shares of Parent Common Stock it is entitled to receive and no cash payment (whether as the Cash Consideration or in lieu of fractional interests pursuant to Section 1.7) shall be paid until the holder of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Subject to the effect of applicable law, promptly upon such surrender, there shall be paid to the person in whose name the certificates representing such whole shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued, any dividends or distributions with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock which have a record date after the Effective Time and shall have become payable between the Effective Time and the time of such surrender. In no event shall the person entitled to receive such dividends or distributions be entitled to receive interest thereon.

         (f)       If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall consider or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, assurances or any other actions or things are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of either Sub or the Company acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, the officers of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of each of Sub and the Company or otherwise, all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments and assurances and to take and do, in such names and on such behalves or otherwise, all such other actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right, title and interest in, to and under such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Corporation or otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

         Section 1.9      Closing and Closing Date.

        Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated and the transactions herein contemplated shall have been abandoned pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.1, the closing (the “Closing”) of this Agreement shall take place (a) at 9:00 a.m. (Mountain Standard Time) as soon as practicable after all of the conditions to the respective obligations of the parties set forth in Article VII hereof shall have been satisfied or waived or (b) at such other time and date as Parent and the Company shall agree (such date and time on and at which the Closing occurs

5

being referred to herein as the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall take place at such location as Parent and the Company shall agree.

         Section 1.10      Certain Adjustments.

        If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time (and as permitted by Section 5.1), the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock or the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number of shares or different class, in each case, by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, combination or exchange of shares or a stock dividend or dividend payable in any other securities shall be declared with a record date within such period, or any similar event shall have occurred, the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted to provide to holders of Company Common Stock and Parent Common Stock, the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

         Section 1.11      Exemption from Registration.

        The shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in conjunction with the Merger and as a part of any Contingent Payments pursuant to Article II will be issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by reason of Section 4(2) thereof. At the Effective Time, each Stockholder will have executed a letter agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Letter Agreement”) governing the registration rights granted with respect to, and the restricted status of, the Shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued to the Stockholders hereunder.

         Section 2.3      Provisions Applicable to Contingent Payments.

         (a)       As used in this Article II, the term:

        “Distribution Agreement” shall mean any distribution agreement entered into by a Distributor with Nu Skin International, Inc., Nu Skin United States, Inc. or their affiliates for the sale and distribution of Parent’s products or the products of Parent’s affiliates.

         "Distributors" shall mean the independent distributors who have entered into Distribution Agreements.

        “Global Compensation Plan” shall mean Parent’s “Global Compensation Plan,” as amended by Parent from time to time after the date hereof, pursuant to which Distributors are compensated by Parent.

        “New Lines of Sponsorship Volume” shall mean the cumulative point volume (as determined under the Parent’s global distributor compensation plan as it may be modified from time to time) of all Scanned New Distributors and all Distributors in such Scanned New Distributors’ downlines, net of all returns.

        “Patent” shall mean the U.S. Patent number [Confidential Treatment Requested] and the Patent Cooperating Treaty application number [Confidential Treatment Requested], and any patents that have been issued, or will be issued, under such application.

        “Sale” shall mean a final sale to a Distributor or other person (subject only to normal warranties) on pricing terms established by the Parent at its sole discretion, net of all returns; provided, that if a Scanner has been leased from Parent or any of its affiliates or financed by Parent or any of its affiliates (including a financing by a third party in reliance (in full or in part) upon the credit support of Parent or any of its affiliates), no Sale shall be recognized until the [Confidential Treatment Requested] anniversary of the lease or financed sale, provided that (x) all obligations of the purchaser under the terms of the lease or financing during such [Confidential Treatment Requested] period (including, without limitation, as to payment) have been fully satisfied, and (y) the Scanner is not returned before the end of such [Confidential Treatment Requested] period. Any placement of a Scanner with a Distributor by Parent or any of its affiliates in such a manner that grants to the recipient of the Scanner the right to use the Scanner for a period of [Confidential Treatment Requested] or more for no consideration shall be deemed a final sale of such Scanner for purposes of this definition.

        “Scanned New Distributor” shall mean (i) a new Distributor who signs a Distribution Agreement within [Confidential Treatment Requested] after being scanned by the

9

Scanner, (ii) a new Distributor who is scanned within [Confidential Treatment Requested] after the Sign-Up Date, and (iii) a new Distributor who purchases a starter kit with scan certificates or other Scanner materials and is scanned within [Confidential Treatment Requested] of the Sign-Up Date. For purposes of this Agreement, an individual who is or has been a Distributor will only qualify as a Scanned New Distributor for purposes of this Article II if such individual has not purchased products during the required period and is eligible to become a Distributor under a new sponsor pursuant to the rules applicable to such individual under the Global Compensation Plan as in effect from time to time. In addition, Scanned New Distributors shall include any new distributor in a country where Nu Skin plans to announce the launch of the Scanner who (i) signs up during the period beginning [Confidential Treatment Requested] prior to the date a general announcement is made to all distributors in such country regarding the launch of the Scanner and ending on the date the Scanner is available for distribution and (ii) is scanned within [Confidential Treatment Requested] after the date the Scanner is available for distribution in such market.

        “ Scanner" shall mean a [Confidential Treatment Requested] that implements or makes use of the technology described in the Patent.

        “Scanner Production Date” shall mean the date that Parent receives from a manufacturer designated by Parent in is sole discretion a workable Scanner that (x) complies with production specifications acceptable to Parent in its sole discretion, and (y) is capable of being produced by such manufacturer at a total cost to Parent (as stated in an invoice as the total cost per unit, including without limitation the total cost of any separately purchased component parts, as delivered to Parent’s facilities in accordance with Parent’s specifications) per unit that Parent, in its sole discretion acting in good faith, believes is acceptable. Without limiting Parent’s discretion to determine an “acceptable” total cost for the Scanner in any way, the parties agree and acknowledge that Parent currently estimates that it’s current distribution network is not suitable for a Scanner with a total cost in excess of [Confidential Treatment Requested]. Whether a Scanner is “workable” shall be determined in the discretion of Parent acting in good faith. In making this determination, Parent will evaluate, among others, the following factors the achievement of which shall be determined by Parent in its sole discretion acting in good faith:

         (i)       [Confidential Treatment Requested];

         (ii)       [Confidential Treatment Requested];

         (iii)       [Confidential Treatment Requested];

         (iv)       Sufficient safeguards to prevent harm or injury to the operator, the scanned person or other persons;

         (v)       Reasonable unit reliability and lifetime;

         (vi)        The ability to be manufactured on a scale that will allow distribution satisfactory to Parent (i.e., at least 2,000 units on or before March 1, 2003);

10

         (vii)       Manufactured under an agreement acceptable to Parent in its sole discretion, which agreement shall include the manufacturer’s warranty of performance of the Scanner within the applicable specifications and against defective parts and workmanship on each Scanner produced for a period of at least one year after the production of such Scanner;

         (viii)       [Confidential Treatment Requested]; and

         (ix)       The ability to be legally marketed and sold under applicable governmental regulations without registration as a medical device.

        “Sign-Up Date” shall mean the first to occur of the following: (i) the date a Distributor executes and dates a Distribution Agreement if such Distributor initially signs up by submitting a written Distribution Agreement (the Sign-Up Date shall be the date Parent receives the Distribution Agreement if the Distributor fails to date the Distribution Agreement or post-dates the Distribution Agreement), (ii) the date the Distributor establishes a temporary account by telephone or other means, or (iii) the date the Distributor signs up as a Distributor electronically via the Internet.

         (b)       During the period following the Scanner Production Date in which Contingent Payments may become due and payable under this Agreement, Parent shall, within 45 days of the end of the first, second and third quarter of each fiscal year, and within 90 days of the last quarter of each fiscal year, deliver to the Stockholder Representative a notice (a “Contingent Payment Notice”) setting forth the number of Scanners sold and the New Line of Sponsorship Volume achieved, if any, during such quarter. Parent shall cause all Contingent Payments then due and payable to be paid to the Stockholders on the date such Contingent Payment Notice is delivered and will be allocated among the Stockholders as set forth on Schedule 2.3(b) to this Agreement. The cash portion of any Contingent Payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts set forth on Schedule 2.3(b).

         (c)        If a Stockholder wishes to dispute the amount of any Contingent Payment due then, within twenty (20) days of the receipt of the Contingent Payment Notice, the Stockholder Representative must deliver to Parent a written notice setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for the dispute. The failure of the Stockholder Representative to deliver such written notice within the specified time period shall be deemed to constitute acceptance by each Stockholder and the Stockholder Representative of the information and calculations set forth in the Contingent Payment Notice for such quarter. Promptly after the receipt of such notice, an appropriate officer of Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall attempt to reconcile their differences and any resolution by them as to the dispute shall be final, binding and conclusive on Parent, each Stockholder and the Stockholder Representative. If Parent and the Stockholder Representative are not able to resolve the dispute within fifteen (15) Business Days of the delivery of the notice indicating a dispute, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall submit the items remaining in dispute for resolution to an independent third party knowledgeable in such matters (which may be an independent accounting firm or consultant of national reputation) mutually acceptable to Parent and the Stockholder Representative, which shall, within ninety (90) days of such submission, report in writing to Parent and the Stockholder

11

Representative as to the resolution of such dispute, and such report shall be final, binding and conclusive on Parent, each Stockholder and the Stockholder Representative. The fees and disbursements of such third party shall be allocated between Parent, on the one hand, and the Stockholders, on the other, in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the disputed items submitted to such third party which are unsuccessfully disputed by Parent and the Stockholder Representative (as determined by the third party) bears to the total amount of disputed items so submitted.

         (d)       Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.1 and 2.2, if the cash portion of any Contingent Payment is worth more than the stock portion of such payment, then the cash and stock amounts shall be adjusted so that the cash portion represents less than 50% of such Contingent Payment. For the purposes of this Article II, the value of each share of Parent Common Stock shall be the closing price of Parent Common Stock on the NYSE on the trading day immediately prior to the date such Contingent Payment is made.

         (e)       At the Effective Date, Parent (or an affiliate of Parent), the Stockholder Representative, and any entity or entities controlled by the Stockholder Representative that the Stockholder Representative desires to have execute such agreements and that are reasonably acceptable to Parent shall enter into (i) a consulting agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, pursuant to which the Stockholder Representative agrees to assist in the development of the Scanner and to actively promote the Scanner and the use of the Scanner among Parent’s Distributors to generate sales of nutritional and other products marketed by Parent and its affiliates to end consumers (the “Stockholder Consulting Agreement”), and (ii) a Stock Pledge Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Stock Pledge Agreement”). Each Stockholder and the Stockholder Representative acknowledges and agrees that, other than the specific obligations of Parent under this Section 2.3, the responsibility for achieving the Milestones rests solely with the Stockholder Representative and his efforts under the Stockholder Consulting Agreement and as a Distributor. Parent and its affiliates expressly disclaim any obligation to take any actions or perform any duties that are the responsibility of the Stockholder Representative under the Stockholder Consulting Agreement and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of Parent or any of its affiliates shall have any liability to any Stockholder or the Stockholder Representative for the failure to achieve any Milestone other than liabilities which are a direct result of Parent’s material breach of its obligations under Section 2.3(f).

         (f)       Subject to the limitations set forth below, the sole obligations of Parent and its affiliates with respect to the development, marketing and sale of the Scanner, shall be as follows:

             (i)       To the extent Parent does not enter into a separate research agreement with the University of Utah, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts in cooperation with the Stockholder Representative, Dr. Werner Gellerman and Dr. Robert C. McClane, to organize a skunkworks in Salt Lake City, Utah within a reasonable distance of the University of Utah campus to complete the development of the Scanner and to cooperate with the

12

Stockholder Representative, Dr. Gellerman and Dr. McClane in such development.

             (ii)       Subject to any regulatory, safety or other restrictions that would prevent Parent’s Pharmanex division from promoting the Scanner, for a period of three years following the introduction of the Scanner in a country, to include promotional material on the Scanner in all introductory information packs provided to potential or new Pharmanex distributors.

         (g)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent shall not have any obligation to manufacture a Scanner or introduce a Scanner into a country if (i) the Scanner cannot be marketed under all applicable government regulations and without registration as a medical device or (ii) if Parent’s Board of Directors, acting in good faith, determines in its sole business judgment that the final design of the proposed Scanner is not suitable for marketing through Parent’s network or if it determines that the introduction of the Scanner at such time is not in the best business interests of the Parent, taking into consideration such factors as the Board of Directors determines relevant including, without limitation, the ability to produce a Scanner that satisfies factors identified in the definition of Scanner Production Date above and general business and market conditions. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Parent or its affiliates from acquiring, producing, marketing or selling any device that is similar to, serves a similar function as, or directly or indirectly competes (in terms of market share or otherwise) with, the Scanner.

         (h)       Parent’s obligations under Section 2.3(f) shall be subject to Parent’s (or its subsidiary’s) rights under the License Agreement and shall be conditioned on the Stockholder Representative, all employees of the skunkworks and other persons conducting research sponsored by Parent on the Patent and/or Scanner or marketing or distributing the Scanner (i) executing confidentiality, non-competition and assignment of invention agreements in a form satisfactory to Parent and (ii) taking (or refraining from taking) any other actions which Parent deems reasonably necessary or advisable to protect its intellectual property. Parent’s obligation under Section 2.3(f)(i) shall cease on the earlier of (x) the Scanner Production Date and (y) the date that Parent determines, in its sole discretion acting in good faith, that a Scanner meeting the requirements set forth in the definition of Scanner Production Date cannot be produced on a commercially reasonable basis; provided, that Parent will consider maintaining the skunkworks and/or establishing an appropriate budget to perform future research on the Scanner and the technology described in the Patent. Any decision of Parent regarding the future research and the maintenance of the skunkworks after the Scanner Production Date will be made by Parent in its sole discretion, in consideration of those factors that Parent deems relevant.

         (i)       Each Stockholder and the Stockholder Representative expressly agrees and acknowledges that Parent and its affiliates may, in their sole discretion exercised in good faith, emphasize or de-emphasize the use of the Scanner in the development of its business and in the effort to recruit new entrants, based on the market conditions, the success of the Scanner, other products and promotions available to the Parent and its affiliates and other business factors. In addition, each Stockholder and the Stockholder Representative acknowledges and agrees that there are significant risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect the achievement of the

13

Milestones and that are beyond the control of the parties hereto, including, without limitation, governmental regulations that prevent or restrict the ability of Parent and its affiliates to market the Scanner or utilize the technology described in the Patent or used in the Scanner, general economic conditions, downturns in Parent’s business and competitive conditions and products. Each Stockholder and the Stockholder Representative agrees that (i) it will not promote the Scanner in any manner that violates applicable law or Parent’s and its affiliates’ policies and procedures governing distributor conduct and marketing practices, as in effect from time to time, or tarnishes Parent’s business reputation, and (ii) it will not make any representations or warranties concerning the Scanner, the technology described in the Patent or used in the Scanner or Parent’s and its affiliate’s products that could not be derived from or attributed to materials that have been approved by Parent in writing in advance.

         (a)       By mutual written consent of Parent and the Company;

         (b)       By either Parent or the Company, if the Merger shall not have been consummated on or before March 15, 2002 (other than due to the failure of the party seeking to

          (c)       By Parent or the Company if any court or other governmental body of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final order, decree or ruling or taken any other final action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger or the transaction contemplated under the Stock Purchase Agreement and such order, decree, ruling or other action is or shall have become final and nonappealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(c) shall not be available to any party whose failure to comply with any provision of this Agreement shall have been the cause of such order, decree, ruling or action;

         (d)        By the Company if a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Parent set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred which would cause any of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1 or 7.2 not to be satisfied, and such breach is incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within 20 days following receipt by the Parent of notice of such breach from the Company; or

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION

         Section 9.1      Indemnification by the Stockholders.

         (a)       Parent, its affiliates and their successors and assigns, and the officers, directors, employees and agents of Parent, its Affiliates and their successors and assigns (each an “Indemnified Party”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Stockholders and the Stockholder Representative, jointly and severally, for any and all Liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) suffered or incurred by them (including, without limitation, any claim, action, suit, injury, proceeding or investigation before any Governmental Entity or taxing authority brought or otherwise initiated by any of them) (hereinafter a “Loss”), arising out of or resulting from:

          (i)        the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company, either Stockholder or the Stockholder Representative contained in the Transaction Agreements or by the Company, the LLC, Nutriscan or any Seller (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Statement of Representations and Warranties (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement)); or

          (ii)        the breach of any covenant or agreement by the Company, either Stockholder or the Stockholder Representative contained in the Transaction Agreements or by the Company, the LLC, Nutriscan or any Seller (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Statement of Representations and Warranties); or

          (iii)        any Liabilities whether arising before or after the Effective Date, arising from or relating to the ownership or actions or inactions of the Company or the LLC or the conduct of their respective businesses prior to the Effective Date; or

32

           (iv)       any or all Losses suffered or incurred by Parent or the Company by reason of or in connection with any claim or cause of action of any third party to the extent arising out of any action, inaction, event, condition, liability or obligation of any Stockholder or the Stockholder Representative occurring or existing prior to the Effective Date; or

           (v)       any and all Losses suffered or incurred by Parent as a result of the failure of any Stockholder, the Stockholder Representative, the Company or the LLC to obtain prior to the Effective Date the consent of all third-parties who are parties to contracts with the Company or Nutriscan (including, but not limited to, the License Agreement), the terms of which such contracts require the consent of such third-parties to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or

           (vi)       any and all Taxes with respect to any taxable period or a portion thereof, of the Company ending on or before the Effective Date including, without limitation, any Taxes of the Company resulting from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Party makes any claim for indemnification arising out of or resulting from (x) the breach of any representation or warranty made by Nutriscan or Seller contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(i) or (y) the breach of any covenant or agreement by Nutriscan or the Sellers contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(ii) (a “Seller Breach”), each Indemnified Party agrees that it will seek recovery from the Sellers pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement at the same time as it seeks recovery from the Stockholders and the Stockholder Representative hereunder; provided, however that to the extent the Losses suffered by an Indemnified Party as a result of a Seller Breach are less than the maximum amount of such Seller’s indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 11.1(c) of the Stock Purchase Agreement, neither the Stockholders nor the Stockholders Representative hereunder shall be obligated to reimburse the Indemnified Party under such proceeding for any Loss caused by a Seller Breach unless such Indemnified Party is unable to recover from the Sellers for a period of one year after such Indemnified Party obtains a final judgment against the Sellers under such proceeding. Upon receiving any amount from the Stockholders or the Stockholder Representative in satisfaction of an indemnification obligation for a Seller Breach, Parent shall assign to the Stockholders and the Stockholder Representative Parent’s indemnification right against the Sellers with respect to such Seller Breach to the extent of the amount paid by the Stockholders or the Stockholder Representative to Parent for such Seller Breach together with the right, if any, to collect from the Sellers the amount of all costs incurred by the Stockholders and the Stockholder Representative in enforcing such indemnification right and collecting such indemnification payments from the Sellers.

         (b)       Except for any Losses arising as a result of fraud, a breach of a covenant or Losses for which indemnification is claimed under Sections 9.1(a)(vi) or 3.7, no claim may be made against the Stockholders or the Stockholder Representative for indemnification pursuant to

33

this Article IX with respect to any claims of liabilities or damages, unless, and then only to the extent that, the aggregate amount of all such Losses of the Indemnified Parties exceeds $50,000. The indemnification obligations of the Stockholders and the Stockholder Representative under this Article IX related to a breach of a representation or warranty (excluding those arising as a result of fraud, breach of a covenant or Losses for which indemnification is claimed under Sections 9.1(a)(vi) or 3.7) shall be effective only until the dollar amount paid by the Stockholders and the Stockholder Representative in respect of Losses indemnified against in this Article IX, aggregates to an amount (the “Cap”) that is equal to (i) the sum of (x) the Merger Consideration, (y) the Contingent Payments earned and paid to the Stockholders, and (z) the lesser of (A) $5,000,000 and (B) 50% of (X) all amounts earned and paid to the Stockholder Representative (or an entity designated by the Stockholder Representative) pursuant to the Stockholder Consulting Agreement, minus (Y) the amounts so earned and paid that are in turn paid by the Stockholder Representative to Mr. J. Anthony Antonelli and/or other parties acceptable to Parent, which amounts shall not exceed 20% of the Bonus Commissions (as defined therein) that are earned and paid to the Stockholder Representative thereunder, less (ii) the sum of (x) $500,000 paid by the Stockholders for the shares of the Company Common Stock purchased by them from A&B Family Trust and (y) the amount, not to exceed $166,666, that is paid by the Stockholders to A&B Family Trust following the Stockholders’ receipt of the Scanner Contingent Payment earned upon reaching the Scanner Production Date; provided, that if after the date of any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX any additional consideration shall be payable to the Stockholders or the Stockholder Representative under this Agreement or the Stockholder Consulting Agreement, then 100% of any such amounts payable under this Agreement and 50% of any such amounts payable under the Stockholder Consulting Agreement shall be retained by Parent to the extent necessary to offset any Losses in respect of which Parent would have been entitled to have been, but was not, indemnified as a result of the Cap. To the extent that any person’s undertaking set forth in this Article IX may be unenforceable, such person shall contribute the maximum amount that they are permitted to contribute under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Losses incurred by an Indemnified Party.

         (c)       An Indemnified Party shall give the Stockholder Representative notice of any matter which an Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, within 60 days of such determination, stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release any Stockholder or the Stockholder Representative from any of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent a Stockholder or the Stockholder Representative is materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve such Stockholder or the Stockholder Representative from any other obligation or Liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Article IX. The obligations and Liabilities of the Stockholders and the Stockholder Representative under this Article IX with respect to Losses arising from claims of any third party which are subject to the indemnification provided for in this Article IX (“Third Party Claims”) shall be governed by the following additional terms and conditions: if an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give the Stockholder Representative notice of such Third Party Claim within 30 days of the receipt by the Indemnified Party of such notice; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release

34

any Stockholder or the Stockholder Representative from any of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent a Stockholder or the Stockholder Representative is materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve such Stockholder or the Stockholder Representative from any other obligation or Liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Article IX. If the Stockholder Representative acknowledges in writing the Stockholders’ and its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder against any Losses that may result from such Third Party Claim, then the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at their expense and through counsel of its choice and reasonably acceptable to Parent if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within five days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the judgment of the Indemnified Party, in its sole and absolute discretion, for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Stockholder or the Stockholder Representative, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel, in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required, at the expense of the Stockholders and the Stockholder Representative. In the event the Stockholder Representative exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Stockholder Representative in such defense and make available to the Stockholder Representative, at the Stockholders’ and Stockholder Representative’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Stockholder Representative. Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, each Stockholder and the Stockholder Representative shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Stockholders’ and the Stockholder Representative’s expenses, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Stockholders’ and the Stockholder Representative’s possession or under the Stockholders’ and the Stockholder Representative’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party. No such Third Party Claim may be settled by the Stockholder Representative without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.

         Section 9.2      Satisfaction of Indemnification Claims.

        Parent may collect any amounts owed by any Stockholder to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article IX by reducing (i) the Contingent Payments (if any) payable to such Stockholder under the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) any amounts payable to such Stockholder under the Stockholder Consulting Agreement, in each case upon notice to the Stockholder Representative of such fact. Parent’s right to reduce the payments to the Stockholders described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall not be exclusive and shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power or remedy available to Parent, whether at law, in equity, by statue or otherwise. The Stockholders and the Stockholder Representative shall have the right to satisfy part or all of any indemnification obligation of the Stockholders and Stockholder Representative under this Article IX by surrendering to the Indemnified Party shares of Parent’s Class A Common Stock having a value equal to the portion of the indemnification obligation so satisfied. The value of the shares of Parent’s Class A Common Stock shall be determined using the average closing price of the

35

Class A Common Stock on the NYSE on each of the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the third (3rd) business day prior to the date the shares are surrendered.

ARTICLE X

If, after recommencement of the Royalty obligation, the Company generates in any calendar year after such recommencement less than $5,000,000 in sales of NTW Products, the Buyer’s obligation to pay the Royalty will terminate and the Royalty will not under any circumstances recommence thereafter. The Buyer’s obligation to pay the Royalty will in any event terminate pursuant to Clause (ii) of this Section 2.6.3.

             2.6.4.       Royalty Dispute Resolution. Each Royalty payment under this Section 2.6, will be accompanied by a schedule prepared by the Buyer (a “Royalty Schedule”) indicating how the Royalty payment was calculated. Sellers’ Representative will have five business days after the date such Royalty payment was paid (the “Objection Notice Period”) to give Buyer a written objection to the calculation of such Royalty payment, specifically stating the reasons for such objection and requesting an opportunity to review such calculation (the “Objection Notice”). If the Sellers’ Representative does not so object within the Objection Notice period, the Sellers will be deemed to have accepted and approved the Buyer’s calculation of the Royalty payment and such calculation will be final and binding on the Sellers. If, within the Objection Notice Period for any Royalty payment, the Sellers’ Representative delivers to Buyer an Objection Notice related to such Royalty payment, then Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative will use reasonable efforts to resolve the objections. If the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative are unable to resolve such objections within ten business days of the date of the Objection Notice, either the Buyer or the Seller may submit such objections to the Independent Accountant for final resolution of any dispute regarding such objections and the calculation of such Royalty

payment. Within five business days after the submission of such objections to the Independent Accountant, both the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative will deliver to the Independent Accountant documents and information regarding the disputed Royalty calculation and their positions regarding the same. Upon receipt thereof, the Independent Accountant will promptly review the Buyer’s and the Company’s books and records and all documents and information provided to it by the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative in order to resolve any objections to the disputed Royalty payment. Upon completion of its review of relevant books, records and materials, the Independent Accountant will deliver a written report (the “Binding Royalty Report”) to Buyer and Sellers’ Representative summarizing the Independent Accountant’s findings and determinations with respect to the disputed Royalty payment. The Binding Royalty Report will be final and binding on Buyer, the Company, and each of the Sellers. Buyer will promptly pay any Royalty owing to Sellers as indicated on the Binding Royalty Report and Sellers will refund any overpayment by Buyer. If the Binding Royalty Report concludes Buyer underpaid the Royalty in dispute by more than 5%, then Buyer will pay the costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant. If the Binding Royalty Report concludes that such disputed Royalty was underpaid by 5% or less, then Sellers will be jointly and severally responsible to pay the Independent Accountant’s costs and expenses.

         2.7.       Preparation and Delivery of Audit. For purposes of Section 2, the Audited Closing Date Balance Sheet will be prepared by the Company and its management in accordance with GAAP and audited by Buyer’s independent auditor.

The Company’s employees will be offered the opportunity to participate in the Buyer’s cash and equity incentive plans at levels consistent with other similarly situated employees of the Buyer; provided, however, Frank L. Davis will not be eligible to participate in the Buyer’s cash and equity incentive plans until the Buyer is no longer obligated to pay the Royalty. All employees of the Company must satisfy the same eligibility requirements for participating in the Buyer’s benefit plans as are required of other employees of the Buyer.

         5.9.       Conversion of NTW Compensation Plan. As soon as is reasonably practicable following the Closing, the NTW compensation plan currently used by the Company will be converted to the Buyer’s network marketing compensation plan. The terms and process of this conversion will be in the Buyer’s sole discretion. However, the Sellers and the Buyer will cooperate in good faith and use reasonable efforts to retain the participation of those who prior to Closing had become Ambassadors of the Company. If any Ambassador wishes to be refunded any amounts invested by such Ambassador prior to the Closing for NTW Products or related sales aids, the Company will offer to reimburse any such Ambassador for such amounts upon return to the Company of such NTW Products and sales aids provided the returned NTW Products have not been opened or damaged.

         5.10.       Releases and Resignations. Each of the Sellers hereby releases the Company from any and all claims and causes of action the Sellers have or may have against the Company. The Sellers further hereby resign from any and all positions, offices and capacities with the Company including, without limitation, the offices of manager, members of the board of managers and other positions of authority with the Company.

         5.11.       Faridi Purchase Orders. Each of the Sellers hereby assumes all obligations and Liability associated with the Faridi Purchase Orders including, without limitation, the obligation to fulfill the Faridi Purchase Orders in accordance with their terms and all obligations and

24

Liability for commissions, sales taxes, shipping expenses, and other costs, obligations and Liability in any way related to the Fairdi Purchase Orders. Each of the Sellers hereby agrees, within 60 days after the Closing Date, to replace the Distributed Inventory with inventory satisfying the standard described in Section 4.15 and having a value of $600,000 and suitable for the Company’s use in producing its humanitarian products. Each of the Sellers hereby agrees to indemnify the Buyer and Company for any Liability arising out of or in any way related to the Faridi Purchase Orders.

6.      Remedies for Breaches of This Agreement.

         6.1.       Survival of Representations and Warranties. All of the representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement will survive the Closing hereunder (even if the damaged Party knew or had reason to know of any misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant at the time of Closing) and continue in full force and effect forever thereafter (subject to any applicable statutes of limitations).

         6.2.        Indemnification Provisions for Benefit of the Buyer.

             6.2.1.       In the event any of the Sellers breaches (or in the event any third party alleges facts that, if true, would mean any of the Sellers has breached) any of their representations, warranties, and covenants contained herein, and, if there is an applicable survival period pursuant to Section 6.1 above, provided that the Buyer makes a written claim for indemnification against any of the Sellers pursuant to Section 8.8 below within such survival period, then each of the Sellers agrees to indemnify the Buyer and the Company from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the Buyer may suffer through and after the date of the claim for indemnification (including any Adverse Consequences the Buyer may suffer after the end of any applicable survival period) resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the breach (or the alleged breach).

              6.2.2.       Each of the Sellers agrees to indemnify the Buyer and the Company from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the Buyer may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by any Liability of the Company (x) for any Taxes of the Company with respect to any Tax year or portion thereof ending on or before the Closing Date (or for any Tax year beginning before and ending after the Closing Date to the extent allocable (determined in a manner consistent with Section 7.2) to the portion of such period beginning before and ending on the Closing Date), to the extent such Taxes are not reflected in the reserve for Tax Liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) shown on the face of the Most Recent Balance Sheet, and (y) for the unpaid Taxes of any Person (other than the Company) under Reg. Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local, or foreign law), as a transferee or successor, by contract, or otherwise.

              6.2.3.       Each of the Sellers agrees to indemnify the Buyer and the Company from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the Buyer may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by (A) any operations of the Company prior to the Closing Date, or (B) any Product sold, manufactured, distributed or licensed by the Company or any services provided by the Company prior to the Closing Date, or (C) any acts or

25

omissions of the Company or any of its managers, officers, employees, Ambassadors or agents, or the ownership, lease or control of property by the Company prior to the Closing Date, or (D) any claims by creditors of the Company that they are owed more than the settlement amounts listed in Section 4.29 of the Disclosure Schedule or on the Audited Closing Date Balance Sheet, or (E) any Ambassador of the Company claiming that he or she is exempt from or excepted out of any requirements of the Company’s network marketing plan or any related policies or procedures or, following the Closing, is exempt from or excepted out of any requirements of the network marketing plan of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates or any related policies or procedures or any Ambassador claiming any special terms or compensation other than those terms and that compensation offered generally to participants in the standard network marketing plans of the Company or the Buyer or its Affiliates or any related policies and procedures or (F) any Liabilities not reflected on the Audited Closing Date Balance Sheet.

             6.2.4.       Each of the Sellers agrees to indemnify the Buyer and the Company from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the Buyer may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the conversion of the Company’s network marketing plan following the Closing to the Buyer’s network marketing plan or the modification, amendment or alteration of the Company’s network marketing plan by the Buyer following the Closing.

          6.3.       Indemnification Provisions for Benefit of the Sellers. In the event the Buyer breaches (or in the event any third party alleges facts that, if true, would mean the Buyer has breached) any of its representations, warranties, and covenants contained herein, and, if there is an applicable survival period pursuant to Section 6.1 above, provided that any of the Sellers makes a written claim for indemnification against the Buyer pursuant to Section 8.8 below within such survival period, then the Buyer agrees to indemnify each of the Sellers from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the Seller may suffer through and after the date of the claim for indemnification (including any Adverse Consequences the Seller may suffer after the end of any applicable survival period) resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the breach (or the alleged breach).

         6.4.       Matters Involving Third Parties.

             6.4.1.       If any third party shall notify any Party (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter (a “Third Party Claim”) which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against any other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Section 6, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify each Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party thereby is prejudiced.

             6.4.2.       Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (A) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within 15 days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating

26

to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim, (B) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (C) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (D) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party, and (E) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently.

             6.4.3.       So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 6.4.2 above, (A) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, (B) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, and (C) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.

             6.4.4.       In the event any of the conditions in Section 6.4.2 above is or becomes unsatisfied, however, (A) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, any Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), (B) the Indemnifying Parties will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), and (C) the Indemnifying Parties will remain responsible for any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Section 6.

         6.5.      [Reserved]

         6.6.       Other Indemnification Provisions. The foregoing indemnification provisions are in addition to, and not in derogation of, any statutory, equitable, or common law remedy any Party may have with respect to the Company or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of the Sellers hereby agrees that he will not make any claim for indemnification against the Company by reason of the fact that he was a member, manager, director, officer, employee, or agent of any such entity or was serving at the request of any such entity as a partner, trustee, member, manager, director, officer, employee, or agent of another entity (whether such claim is for judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, amounts paid in settlement, losses, expenses, or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant to any statute, charter document, bylaw, agreement, or otherwise) with respect to any action, suit, proceeding, complaint, claim, or demand brought by the Buyer against such Seller (whether such action, suit, proceeding, complaint, claim, or demand is pursuant to this Agreement, applicable law, or otherwise).

27

         6.7.       Offset Right Against Royalty. Upon notice to the Sellers, each of the Buyer and the Company will have the right to set off any amounts to which either of them may be entitled under this Agreement, including without limitation, any payments related to indemnification, against the Royalty amounts owing from time to time by the Company to the Sellers. If the Buyer or the Company exercises its offset right, such exercise shall affect the timing and amount of payments required by the Royalty as if the Buyer of the Company had made a prepayment of the Royalty. The exercise of such offset right by the Buyer or the Company in good faith, whether or not ultimately determined to be justified, will not constitute a breach or violation of this Agreement or the Royalty payable hereunder. Neither the exercise of, nor the failure to exercise, such right of offset will constitute an election of remedies or limit the Buyer or the Company in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to the Buyer or the Company.

         6.8.       Indemnification Cap for Certain Sellers. The liability under this Section 6 of each Seller holding, beneficially or of record, less than 5% of the membership interest of the Company prior to the Closing as reflected in Exhibit “A” attached hereto will be limited to the aggregate amounts such Seller receives or is entitled to receive under this Agreement.

         7.        Tax Matters. The following provisions shall govern the allocation of responsibility as between Buyer and Sellers for certain tax matters following the Closing Date:

         7.1.       Tax Periods Ending on or Before the Closing Date. Sellers will prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Company for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date which are filed after the Closing Date. Buyer will provide Sellers reasonable access to information necessary for the preparation of such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence prior to filing. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Sellers shall include any income, gain, loss, deduction or other tax items for such period on their Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Schedule K-1s forwarded by the Company to the Sellers for such periods. Sellers shall reimburse Buyer for Taxes of the Company with respect to such periods within fifteen (15) days after payment by Buyer or the Company of such Taxes to the extent such Taxes are not reflected in the reserve for Tax Liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) shown on the face of the Financial Statements. Sellers will submit all Tax Returns prepared pursuant to this Section 7.1 to Buyer for Buyer’s review and approval prior to filing such Tax Returns by Sellers. If Buyer has any objections to the positions proposed to be taken by any Seller in any of such Tax Returns, Buyer will notify the Seller within ten business days of receiving such disputed Tax Return. Buyer and such Seller will then work together in good faith to resolve any such objections. If such objections are not resolved by the Buyer and such Seller within ten business days after the date of Buyer’s written objections, either Buyer or such Seller may submit the disputed Tax Return to the Independent Accountant for resolution of any unresolved dispute. The Independent Accountant will review the disputed Tax Return and all other information reasonably necessary for the Independent Accountant to resolve any such disputes (which information the Parties agree to provide the Independent Accountant upon its request), and then the Independent Accountant will reach a determination of the proper form or substance of the disputed Tax Return. The Independent Accountant will provide the Parties a written copy of its conclusions. The determination and conclusions of the Independent Accountant will be final and binding on the Parties and the Parties agree to not take any position

28

on a Tax Return prepared pursuant to this Section 7.1 inconsistent with the position of the Independent Accountant on such Tax Return. The Parties agree to share the costs of the Independent Accountant under this Section 7.1 equally, with the Sellers together bearing one half of such costs and the Buyer bearing one half of such costs.

         7.2.       Tax Periods Beginning Before and Ending After the Closing Date. Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Tax Returns of the Company for Tax periods which begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Sellers shall include any income, gain, loss, deduction or other tax items for such period on their Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Schedule K-1s forwarded by the Company to the Sellers for such periods. Sellers shall pay to Buyer within fifteen (15) days after the date on which Taxes are paid with respect to such periods an amount equal to the portion of such Taxes which relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date to the extent such Taxes are not reflected in the reserve for Tax Liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) shown on the face of the Financial Statements. For purposes of this Section, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall (x) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period, and (y) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date. Any credits relating to a taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be taken into account as though the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practice of the Company.

         7.3.       Cooperation on Tax Matters.

             7.3.1. Buyer, the Company and Sellers shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Company and Sellers agree (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer or Sellers, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (B) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, the Company or Sellers, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records.

29

              7.3.2.       Buyer and Sellers further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any governmental authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

             7.3.3.       Buyer and Sellers further agree, upon request, to provide the other party with all information that either party may be required to report pursuant to Section 6043 of the Code and all Treasury Department Regulations promulgated thereunder.

         7.4.        Tax Sharing Agreements. All tax sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, the Company shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

         7.5.       Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement, shall be paid by Sellers when due, and Sellers will, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable law, Buyer will, and will cause its affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

         7.6.       Treatment as to the Buyer. The Buyer, the Sellers and the Company agree that the purchase by the Buyer of the Company Shares from the Sellers for the Purchase Price shall be treated with respect to the Buyer, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as the purchase by the Buyer of all of the assets of the Company (following a deemed liquidating distribution of such assets to the Sellers). Accordingly, the Purchase Price shall be allocated among the assets of the Company in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Audited Closing Date Balance Sheet, and the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith and use all reasonable efforts to agree upon, within 30 days of the Closing, the allocation of the Purchase Price among the various classes of assets as required by Section 1060 of the Code. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in the preparation and filing of IRS Form 8594 in connection with the allocation of the Purchase Price. No Party, nor any of their respective affiliates, shall take any position (whether in financial statements, audits, tax returns or otherwise) which is inconsistent with the allocation of the Purchase Price unless required to do so by applicable Law.

8.       Miscellaneous.

         8.1.        Nature of Certain Obligations.

             8.1.1.       The covenants of each of the Sellers in Section 2.1 above concerning the sale of his Company Shares to the Buyer and the representations and warranties of each of the Sellers in Section 3.1 above concerning the transaction are several obligations. This means that the particular Seller making the representation, warranty, or covenant will be solely responsible to the extent provided in Section 6 above for any Adverse Consequences the Buyer may suffer as a result of any breach thereof.

             8.1.2.       The remainder of the representations, warranties, and covenants in this Agreement are joint and several obligations. This means that each Seller will be responsible to

30

the extent provided in Section 6 above for the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the Buyer may suffer as a result of any breach thereof.

         8.2.       Press Releases and Public Announcements. Sellers shall not issue any press release or make any public announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement without the prior written approval of the Buyer and Buyer agrees not to use any of the Seller’s names in any press release or public announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement without the prior written approval of such Seller; provided, however, that any Party may make any public disclosure it believes in good faith is required by applicable law or any listing or trading agreement concerning its publicly-traded securities (in which case the disclosing Party will use its reasonable best efforts to advise the other Parties prior to making the disclosure).

         8.3.       No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

         8.4.       Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the documents referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the Parties, written or oral, to the extent they related in any way to the subject matter hereof.

          8.5.       Succession and Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties named herein and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Party may assign either this Agreement or any of his or its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the Buyer and the Requisite Sellers; provided, however, that the Buyer may (i) assign any or all of its rights and interests hereunder to one or more of its Affiliates and (ii) designate one or more of its Affiliates to perform its obligations hereunder (in any or all of which cases the Buyer nonetheless shall remain responsible for the performance of all of its obligations hereunder).

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

         8.7.        Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

         8.8.       Notices. All notices, requests, demands, claims, and other communications hereunder will be in writing. Any notice, request, demand, claim, or other communication hereunder shall be deemed duly given if (and then two business days after) it is sent by overnight courier service (with proof of receipt) guaranteeing next day delivery, or registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and addressed to the intended recipient as set forth below

         8.9.       Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Utah without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah.

         8.10.       Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Buyer and the Requisite Sellers. No waiver by any Party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

         8.11.       Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.

         8.12.       Expenses. Each of the Parties and the Company will bear his or its own costs and expenses (including legal fees, broker, agent, investment banker and finder fees, and any expenses related thereto) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Sellers agree that the Company has not borne or will bear any of the Sellers’ costs and expenses (including any of their legal fees, broker, agent, investment banker and finder fees, and any expenses related thereto) in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, whether such services have been engaged in the name of the Seller or the name of the Company.

         8.13.       Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Sellers have been represented by legal counsel of their choice and have not been represented by the Buyer’s in-house or outside legal counsel. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The word “including” shall mean including without limitation. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.

         8.14.       Incorporation of Exhibits and Schedules. The Exhibits and Schedules identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

         8.15.       Specific Performance. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the other Parties would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are

33

not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that the other Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law or in equity.

         8.16.       Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties submits to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake City, Utah, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court. Each Party also agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each of the Parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety, or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law or at equity.
