  Stock -- Your stock options will continue to vest through October 31.

        On October 31, 2007 your employment with Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. will end.

  Severance

        On the effective date of your Settlement and Release Agreement, you will receive a lump sum severance benefit of $250,000 less federal and state withholding taxes and other applicable deductions made up of the following components:

a.  

As of September 30, 2007 your Deferred Compensation balance, including the Company portion, will be 100% vested. Payout of your Deferred Compensation account will be as previously elected by you in the amount of $84,150.
