PERFORMANCE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
This Performance Stock Option Agreement, Participant’s award information (the “Award Summary”), which can be accessed on the Morgan Stanley stock plan website (currently www.stockplanconnect.com) or the website of any other stock plan administrator selected by the Company in the future, and the Appendix for Participant’s country contained in this agreement, if any, (collectively, this “Agreement”) set forth the terms and conditions of the Performance Stock Options granted to Participant under the Second Amended and Restated Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). In the event of a conflict between (i) the terms and conditions of the Plan; and (ii) the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail. Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the same defined meaning assigned to them in the Plan.
1. Grant of Performance Stock Options.
1.1 Grant of Performance Stock Options. Effective as of the date of grant specified in the Award Summary (the “Grant Date”), the Company grants to Participant Performance Stock Options to purchase up to [*]% of the number of Shares specified in the Award Summary (i.e., [*]% of the number of Performance Stock Options that would vest upon achievement of [Performance Vesting Provisions], as set forth in Section 1.2). The Performance Stock Options are Nonqualified Stock Options. Performance Stock Options granted under this Agreement may not be exercised at any time until such Performance Stock Options are vested, as provided in Section 1.2.
1.2 Vesting of Performance Stock Options. The Performance Stock Options shall vest and become exercisable as follows, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, including pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 5:
(a) The Performance Stock Options shall be divided into three equal tranches. The percentage of each respective tranche that shall vest shall be determined in accordance with paragraph (b) below. Such percentage of each tranche shall vest on the later of a) [Performance Vesting Provisions] and b) one year following the date of grant;
(b) The percentage of each respective tranche that shall vest shall be based on [Performance Vesting Provisions], and shall be in accordance with Schedule A below.
1.3 Term of Performance Stock Options.
(a) In the event Participant’s Continuous Service (as defined below) is terminated for any reason prior to the full vesting of the Performance Stock Options, the Performance Stock Options granted hereunder shall terminate to the extent they are not vested as of the termination of Participant’s Continuous Service, as determined in accordance with Section 10 (j) below, and Participant shall not have any right to exercise such unvested Performance Stock Options.
1
(b) Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, including Section 5 hereof, all Performance Stock Options granted hereunder that are vested but unexercised shall terminate on the earliest to occur of:
(1) the date on which Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated for Cause (as defined in Section 1.6);
(2) 12 months after the termination of Participant’s Continuous Service due to Participant’s death or Disability (as defined below);
(3) 3 months after the termination of Participant’s Continuous Service for any other reason; or
(4) the seventh anniversary of the Grant Date.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any portion of a tranche of Performance Stock Options that does not vest shall immediately terminate following the later of a) [Termination Provisions], as provided in Section 1.2, and b) one year following the date of grant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise of the Performance Stock Options is prevented by the Company within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 1.3(b)(2) and (3) for any reason, the Performance Stock Options shall not expire before the date that is 30 days after the date that Participant is notified by the Company that the Performance Stock Options are again exercisable, but in any event no later than the seventh anniversary of the Grant Date.
For purposes of this Agreement:
“Continuous Service” means that Participant’s service with the Company or a Subsidiary, whether as an Employee, Director, or Consultant, is not interrupted or terminated. Participant’s Continuous Service shall not be deemed to have terminated merely because of a change in the capacity in which Participant renders service to the Company or a Subsidiary as an Employee, Consultant, or Director, or a change in the entity for which Participant renders such service, provided that there is no interruption or termination of Participant’s Continuous Service. For example, a change in status from an Employee of the Company to a Consultant of a Subsidiary or a Director will not constitute an interruption of Continuous Service. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether Continuous Service shall be considered interrupted in the case of any leave of absence approved by the Company or a Subsidiary, including sick leave, military leave or any other personal leave.
“Disability” means Participant (a) is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months or (b) is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death, or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under an accident and health plan covering employees of Participant’s employer. Any question as to the existence of that Participant’s physical or mental impairment as to which Participant or Participant’s representative and the Company cannot agree shall be determined in writing by a qualified independent physician mutually acceptable to Participant and the Company (or its Subsidiary, as applicable). If Participant and the Company (or its Subsidiary, as applicable) cannot agree as to a qualified independent physician, each shall appoint such a physician and those two physicians shall select a third who shall make such determination in writing. The determination of Disability made in writing to the Company or a Subsidiary and Participant shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of the Performance Stock Options.

1.4 Exercise of Performance Stock Options. Exercisable Performance Stock Options may be exercised as provided on the Morgan Stanley stock plan website (or the website of any other stock plan administrator selected by the Company in the future) or by written notice of such exercise, in the form prescribed by the Committee or Company, to the person designated by the Committee at the corporate offices of the Company. The notice shall specify the number of Performance Stock Options that are being exercised. Full payment of the Performance Stock Option Price as specified in the Award Summary under “Grant Price” shall be made at the time of exercise in a manner set forth in the Plan, Section 2 below, or in such other manner as may be approved by the Committee, consistent with the terms of the Plan, as it may be amended from time to time.
1.5 Stockholder Rights. Unless and until Shares are issued by the Company upon exercise of the Performance Stock Options, Participant shall have none of the rights or privileges of a shareholder of the Company (including voting, dividend and liquidation rights) with respect to the Shares covered by the Performance Stock Options.
1.6 Change in Control. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if, within six months prior to and in connection with a Change in Control or within two years following such Change in Control, Participant’s employment is terminated (i) by the Company and its Subsidiaries without Cause, or (ii) by Participant for Good Reason, the vesting of outstanding Performance Stock Options governed by this Agreement shall be accelerated such that the number of Performance Stock Options specified in the Award Summary (i.e. the number of Performance Stock Options that would vest upon achievement of [Performance Vesting Provisions], as set forth in Section 1.2) shall be deemed to be vested in full immediately prior to the termination of Participant’s employment.
For purposes of this Agreement:
“Cause” shall mean that Participant has engaged in any one of the following:
(a) a material breach by Participant of the Company’s Key Employee Covenants, other employee covenants or any employment agreement, which breach is not cured within any applicable cure period set forth the respective document;
(b) any willful violation by Participant of any material law or regulation applicable to the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
(c) Participant’s conviction of, or a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony or any willful perpetration of common law fraud (or analogous violation of law in a jurisdiction outside the United States); or
3
(d) any other willful misconduct by Participant that is materially injurious to the financial condition or business reputation of, or is otherwise materially injurious to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
For purposes of the foregoing, in determining whether a “material breach” has occurred, or whether there has been a willful violation of a “material” law or regulation, the standard shall be a breach or violation that is, or will reasonably likely be, materially injurious to the financial condition or business reputation of, or is, or will reasonably likely be, otherwise materially injurious to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
“Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence any of the following events that result in a material negative change to Participant:
(a) without Participant’s consent, a material reduction in the scope of Participant’s duties and responsibilities or the level of management to which Participant reports;
(b) without Participant’s consent, a reduction in base salary (other than an across-the-board reduction of not more than 10% applicable to all similarly situated employees);
(c) without Participant’s consent, a material reduction in Participant’s benefits in the aggregate (in terms of benefit levels) from those provided to Participant under any employee benefit plan, program and practice in which Participant participates;
(d) without Participant’s consent, a relocation of Participant’s principal place of employment of more than 50 miles from Participant’s primary residence;
(e) the failure of the Company to have a successor entity specifically assume this Agreement or any employment agreement within 10 business days after a Change in Control; or
(f) a material breach by the Company a successor entity of this Agreement or any employment agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Good Reason shall only be found to exist if Participant, not later than 90 days after the initial occurrence of an event deemed to give rise to a right to terminate for Good Reason, has provided 30 days written notice to the Company prior to Participant’s resignation indicating and describing the event resulting in such Good Reason, and the Company does not cure such event (other than the event in clause vi), which shall not be subject to cure) within 90 days following the receipt of such notice from Participant.
2. Payment of Exercise Price. Full payment of the Performance Stock Option’s exercise price shall be made by any of the methods listed in Section 9 for payment of Tax-Related Items, at Participant’s election, subject to the Committee’s or Company’s right to eliminate, prior to exercise, any of such payment methods.
3. Securities Law Compliance. Participant represents that Participant has received and carefully read a copy of the Prospectus for the Plan, together with the Company’s most recent Annual Report to Stockholders. Participant hereby acknowledges that Participant is aware of the risks associated with the Shares and that there can be no assurance the price of the Shares will not decrease in the future. Participant hereby acknowledges no representations or statements have been made to Participant concerning the value or potential value of the Shares. Participant acknowledges that Participant has relied only on information contained in the Prospectus and has received no representations, written or oral, from the Company or its employees, attorneys or agents, other than those contained in the Prospectus or this Agreement. Participant acknowledges that the Company has made no representations or recommendations, and is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan, or Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. Participant is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

4. Transfer Restrictions. Participant shall not transfer, assign, sell, encumber, pledge, grant a security interest in or otherwise dispose of the Performance Stock Options subject to this Agreement in any manner other than by the laws of descent or distribution, and shall be exercised, during the lifetime of Participant, only by Participant. Any such transfer, assignment, sale, encumbrance, pledge, security interest or disposition shall be void.
5. Forfeiture. If, at any time during Participant’s Continuous Service or at any time during the 12-month period following termination of Participant’s Continuous Service, Participant engages in conduct that constitutes Cause (as defined above), then at the election of the Committee, (a) this Agreement and all Performance Stock Options granted hereunder shall terminate, and (b) Participant shall return to the Company for cancellation all Shares held by Participant plus pay the Company the amount of any proceeds received from the sale of any Shares to the extent such Shares were issued pursuant to Performance Stock Options granted under this Agreement that were exercised (i) during the 12-month period immediately preceding the Cause, or (ii) on the date of or at any time after such Cause.
If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, the Committee may terminate any Performance Stock Options granted hereunder or require Participant to reimburse the Company the amount of any payment or benefit received with respect to any Performance Stock Options granted hereunder to the extent the Performance Stock Options would not have been earned or accrued after giving effect to the accounting restatement.
6. Governing Plan Document. This Agreement incorporates by reference all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, as presently existing and as hereafter amended. Participant expressly acknowledges and agrees that the terms and provisions of this Agreement are subject in all respects to the provisions of the Plan. Participant also expressly:
(a) Acknowledges receipt of the Plan and represents that Participant is familiar with the provisions of the Plan, and that Participant enters into this Agreement subject to all of the provisions of the Plan;
(b) Recognizes that the Committee has been granted complete authority to administer the Plan in its sole discretion, and agrees to accept all decisions related to the Plan and all interpretations of the Plan made by the Committee as final and conclusive upon Participant and upon all persons at any time claiming any interest through Participant in the Performance Stock Options or the Shares subject to this Agreement; and
5
(c) Acknowledges and understands that the establishment of the Plan and the existence of this Agreement are not sufficient, in and of themselves, to exempt Participant from the requirements of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, and that Participant (to the extent Section 16(b) applies to Participant) shall not be exempt from such requirements pursuant to Rule 16b-3 unless and until Participant shall comply with all applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3, including without limitation, the possible requirement that Participant must not sell or otherwise dispose of any Shares acquired pursuant to Performance Stock Options unless and until a period of at least six months shall have elapsed between the date upon which such Performance Stock Options were granted to Participant and the date upon which Participant desires to sell or otherwise dispose of such Shares.
7. Representations and Warranties. As a condition to the receipt of any Shares upon exercise of the Performance Stock Options, the Company may require Participant to make any representations and warranties to the Company that legal counsel to the Company may determine to be required or advisable under any applicable law or regulation, including without limitation, representations and warranties that the Shares are being acquired only for investment and without any present intention or view to sell or distribute any such Shares.
8. Compliance With Law and Regulations. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, unless there is an available exemption from any registration, qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the Shares, the Company shall not be required to deliver any Shares issuable upon exercise of the Performance Stock Options prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the Shares under any local, state, federal or foreign securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or of any other governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. Participant understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares with the SEC or any state or foreign securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the Shares. Further, Participant agrees that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and this Agreement without Participant’s consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to issuance of Shares.
9. Responsibility for Taxes. Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, Participant’s employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant or deemed by the Company or the Employer in its discretion to be an appropriate charge to Participant even if legally applicable to the Company or the Employer (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Performance Stock Options, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the Performance Stock Options, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired at exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Performance Stock Options to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
6
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.
Full payment of the Tax-Related Items shall be made by any of the following, or a combination thereof, subject to the Company’s right to eliminate, prior to exercise, any of the following as permissible payment methods: (i) in cash or cash equivalents (including certified check, bank check or wire transfer of immediately available funds); (ii) by tendering previously acquired Shares (either actually or by attestation) valued at their then-Fair Market Value; (iii) by withholding Shares otherwise issuable in connection with the exercise of the Performance Stock Option; (iv) through same-day voluntary or involuntary (on Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization) sales through a broker if permitted by the Company’s Securities Trading Policy; (v) withholding from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Participant by the Company and/or the Employer; or (vi) any combination of any of the foregoing. In the absence of Participant’s timely election or in the event Section 16(b) applies to Participant, the Company will withhold in Shares upon the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, or the Company may determine that a particular method be used to satisfy any obligations for Tax-Related Items.
Depending on the withholding method, the Company and/or the Employer may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable withholding rates (up to the rate that will not cause an adverse accounting consequence or cost, including pursuant to ASC Topic 718, as applicable) in which case Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent Shares. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Performance Stock Options, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
Participant agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if Participant fails to comply with Participant’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
10. Nature of Grant. In accepting the Performance Stock Options, Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
7
(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;

(c) nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon Participant any right to continue in the employment or service of the Employer, the Company or any Subsidiary or be interpreted as forming or amending an employment or services contract with the Employer, the Company or any Subsidiary and shall not interfere with or restrict any way the ability of the Employer, the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable, to terminate Participant’s employment or service relationship, if any;
(d) all decisions with respect to future grants of Performance Stock Options or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(e) Participant’s participation in the Plan is voluntary;
(f) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and unpredictable;
(g) if the underlying Shares do not increase in value, the Performance Stock Options will have no value;
(h) if Participant exercises the Performance Stock Options and obtains Shares, the value of those Shares acquired upon exercise may increase or decrease in value, even below the exercise price;
(i) unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Performance Stock Options and the Shares subject to the Performance Stock Options, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service Participant may provide as a director of any entity of the Company;
(j) in the event of the termination of Participant’s Continuous Service (as defined above) (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later to be found invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of Participant’s employment agreement, if any), unless otherwise determined by the Company, Participant’s right to vest in the Performance Stock Options under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of the date Participant is no longer actively rendering services and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., Participant’s period of service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of Participant’s employment agreement, if any); similarly, any right to exercise Performance Stock Options after termination of Participant's Continuous Service will be measured from the date Participant is no longer actively rendering services and will not be extended by any notice period; the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Participant is no longer providing Continuous Service for purposes of this Agreement, including whether Participant may still be considered to be providing active service while on a leave of absence; and
8
(k) if Participant is providing services outside the United States, the following additional provisions shall apply:
(1) Performance Stock Options and the Shares subject to Performance Stock Options, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, holiday pay, bonuses, long-service awards, leave-related pay, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar mandatory payments;
(2) Performance Stock Options and the Shares subject to Performance Stock Options, and the income and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
(3) Performance Stock Options are an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for service of any kind rendered to the Company or to the Employer, and Performance Stock Options are outside of the scope of Participant’s employment agreement, if any;
(4) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of Performance Stock Options resulting from termination of Participant’s Continuous Service (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of Participant’s employment agreement, if any; and
(5) neither the Company, the Employer nor any Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of Performance Stock Options or of any amounts due to Participant pursuant to the exercise of Performance Stock Options or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon exercise.
11. Data Privacy Notice and Consent. Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Participant’s personal data, as described in this Agreement and any other Performance Stock Option grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and Subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan.
Participant understands that the Employer, the Company and Subsidiaries may hold certain personal information about Participant, including, but not limited to, Participant’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social security, passport, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all Performance Stock Options or any other entitlement to Shares or other equivalent benefits awarded, canceled, purchased, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor (“Data”), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
9
Participant understands that Data will be transferred to Morgan Stanley, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. Participant understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than Participant’s country. Participant understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. Participant authorizes the Company, Morgan Stanley and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker, escrow agent or other third party with whom the Shares received upon exercise of Performance Stock Options may be deposited. Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage his or her participation in the Plan. Participant understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative. Further, Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If Participant does not consent, or if Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her employment status or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing Participant’s consent is that the Company may not be able to grant Performance Stock Options or other equity awards to Participant or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of his or her refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.
Further, upon request of the Company or the Employer, Participant agrees to provide an executed data privacy form (or any other agreements or consents) that the Company and/or the Employer may deem necessary to obtain from Participant for the purpose of administering Participant’s participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in Participant’s country, either now or in the future. Participant understands and agrees that he or she will not be able to participate in the Plan if Participant’s fails to provide any such consent or agreement as requested by the Company and/or the Employer.

10
12.2 Waiver. The failure of the Company in any instance to exercise any rights under this Agreement, including the forfeiture rights under Section 4, shall not constitute a waiver of any other rights that may subsequently arise under the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement between the Company and Participant.

Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders Participant places before Participant possessed inside information. Furthermore, Participant could be prohibited from (i) disclosing inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities.

APPENDIX
FOR PARTICIPANTS OUTSIDE THE U.S.
NU SKIN ENTERPRISES, INC.
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED 2010 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
PERFORMANCE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms in this Appendix shall have the same defined meaning assigned to them in the Plan and the Agreement.
This Appendix includes special country-specific terms and conditions that apply to Participants in the countries listed below. This Appendix is part of the Agreement. This Appendix also includes information of which Participant should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. For example, certain individual exchange control reporting requirements may apply upon exercise of the Performance Stock Options and/or sale of Shares. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of February 2018 and is provided for informational purposes. Such laws are often complex and change frequently, and results may be different based on the particular facts and circumstances. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that Participant does not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of Participant’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the Performance Stock Options vest or are exercised, or Participant sells Shares acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to Participant’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure Participant of any particular result. Accordingly, Participant should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in Participant’s country may apply to his or her situation.
Finally, if Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she currently is residing and/or working, transfers employment after the Performance Stock Options are granted to him or her, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the terms and conditions and/or notifications contained herein may not be applicable to him or her, and the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent such terms and conditions contained herein shall apply to him or her.
DATA PRIVACY PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO GRANTEES IN THE EUROPEAN UNION/EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA
The following provision replaces Section 11 of the Agreement:
Data Collection and Usage. Pursuant to applicable data protection laws, Participant is hereby notified that the Company collects, processes, uses and transfers certain personally-identifiable information about Participant for the exclusive legitimate purpose of granting Performance Stock Options and implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan. Specifics of the data processing are described below.
Controller, EU Representative and DPO. The Company is the controller responsible for the processing of Participant’s personal data in connection with the Plan. The Company’s representative in the European Union is NSE Products Europe BVBA, Da Vincilaan 9, 1935 Zaventem, Belgium, telephone number +32 2 722 70 00. Participant can reach the data protection officer (“DPO”) of the Company at ###-###-####, 75 West Center Street, Provo, Utah 84601.
13
Personal Data Subject to Processing. The Company collects, processes and uses the following types of personal data about Participant: Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance, passport number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all Performance Stock Options or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, settled, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor, which the Company receives from Participant or the Employer, as well as Participant’s hire date, term date, term reason code, status, and Company’s Division (“Personal Data”).
Purposes and Legal Bases of Processing. The Company processes the Personal Data for the purpose of granting Performance Stock Options, implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan. The legal basis for the processing of the Personal Data by the Company and the third‑party service providers described below is the necessity of the data processing for the Company to perform its contractual obligations under the Agreement and generally administering employee equity awards.
Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company transfers Personal Data to Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC and its affiliated companies (collectively, “Morgan Stanley”), an independent stock plan administrator with operations, relevant to the Company, in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select different service providers and may share Personal Data with such service providers. As a data controller, the Company’s stock plan administrator will open an account for Participant to receive and trade Shares. Participant will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition of Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. Participant’s Personal Data will only be accessible by those individuals requiring access to it for purposes of implementing, administering and operating Participant’s participation in the Plan. Participant understands that Participant may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Personal Data by contacting Participant’s local human resources representative.
International Data Transfers. The Company and its service providers, including, without limitation, Morgan Stanley, operate, relevant to the Company, in the United States, which means that it will be necessary for Personal Data to be transferred to, and processed in, the United States. Participant understands and acknowledges that the United States is not subject to an unlimited adequacy finding by the European Commission and that Participant’s Personal Data may not have an equivalent level of protection as compared to Participant’s country of residence.
The legal basis for the processing of the Personal Data by the Company and the third‑party service providers is the necessity of the data processing for the Company to perform its contractual obligations under the Agreement and generally administering employee equity awards.
Data Retention. The Company will use the Personal Data only as long as necessary to implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including tax and securities laws. When the Company no longer needs the Personal Data, the Company will remove it from its systems. If the Company keeps data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be relevant laws or regulations.
14
Data Subject Rights. To the extent provided by law, Participant has the right to (i) inquire whether and what kind of Personal Data the Company holds about Participant and how it is processed, and to access or request copies of such Personal Data, (ii) request the correction or supplementation of Personal Data that is inaccurate, incomplete or out-of-date in light of the purposes underlying the processing, or (iii) obtain the erasure of Personal Data no longer necessary for the purposes underlying the processing or processed in non-compliance with applicable legal requirements. In addition, Participant has, to the extent provided by law, the right to (iv) request the Company to restrict the processing of Personal Data in certain situations where Participant feels its processing is inappropriate, (v) object, in certain circumstances, to the processing of Personal Data for legitimate interests, and to (vi) request portability of Personal Data that Participant has actively or passively provided to the Company, where the processing of such Personal Data is based on consent or a contractual agreement with Participant and is carried out by automated means. In case of concerns, Participant also has the right to (vii) lodge a complaint with the competent local data protection authority. To receive additional information regarding Participant’s rights, raise any other questions regarding the practices described in this Agreement or to exercise his or her rights, Participant should contact his or her local human resources representative.
Contractual Requirement. Participant’s provision of Personal Data and its processing as described above is required for the performance of the Company’s obligations pursuant to the Plan and a condition to Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. Participant understands that, as a consequence of Participant’s refusing to provide Personal Data, the Company may not be able to allow Participant to participate in the Plan, grant Performance Stock Options to Participant or administer or maintain such Performance Stock Options. However, Participant’s participation in the Plan and his or her acceptance of this Agreement are purely voluntary. While Participant will not receive Performance Stock Options if he or she decides against participating in the Plan or providing Personal Data as described above, Participant’s career and salary will not be affected in any way. For more information on the consequences of the refusal to provide Personal Data, Participant may contact his or her local human resources representative.
AUSTRALIA
Nature of Plan. The Plan and the Agreement is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) (the “Act”) applies (subject to the conditions in the Act).
Securities Law Information. If Participant acquires Shares pursuant to the Performance Stock Options and he or she offers Shares for sale to a person or entity resident in Australia, Participant’s offer may be subject to disclosure requirements under Australian law. Participant should obtain legal advice on his or her disclosure obligations prior to making any such offer.
Exchange Control Information. Exchange control reporting is required for cash transactions exceeding AUD10,000 and for international fund transfers. If an Australian bank is assisting with the transaction, the bank will file the report on the Participant’s behalf.
Data Privacy Notice and Consent. This provision supplements Section 10 of the Agreement:
Participant’s personal information will be held in accordance with the Employer’s privacy policy, a copy of which Participant can obtain by contacting the Employer at the address indicated below. The Employer’s privacy policy contains, among other things, details of how Participant can access and seek correction of personal information held in connection with the Performance Stock Options, how Participant can complain about a breach of the Australian Privacy Principles and how the Employer will deal with such a complaint. The Company can be contacted at ###-###-####. Participant’s employer can be contacted at +61-2-9491-0900.
Data may be transferred to recipients located outside of Australia, including the United States and any other country where the Company has operations. Employees are (and Participant acknowledges that he or she has been) provided with a list of the Company’s global offices as part of their data privacy training. The latest list can be accessed from time to time at insider.nuskin.com.
15
BELGIUM
Accepting Performance Stock Options. The Performance Stock Options must be accepted in writing either (a) within 60 days of the offer (for tax at offer), or (b) more than 60 days after the offer (for tax at exercise). Participant will receive a separate offer letter, acceptance form and undertaking form in addition to the Agreement. Participant should refer to the offer letter for a more detailed description of tax consequences related to the timing of accepting Performance Stock Options. Participant should consult his or her personal tax advisor with respect to completion of the additional forms.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Participant is required to report any securities (e.g., Shares acquired under the Plan) or bank accounts established outside of Belgium on his or her annual tax return. In a separate report, Belgium residents are also required to provide the National Bank of Belgium with the account details of any such foreign accounts (including the account number, bank name and country in which any such account was opened). This report, as well as additional information on how to complete it, can be found on the website of the National Bank of Belgium, www.nbb.be, under Kredietcentrales / Centrales des crédits caption. Participant should consult a personal tax advisor with respect to the applicable reporting obligations.
Stock Exchange Tax. A stock exchange tax applies to transactions executed by a Belgian resident through a non-Belgian financial intermediary, such as a U.S. broker. The stock exchange tax may apply to transactions under the Plan, such as the exercise of Performance Stock Options and the sale of Shares. Participant should consult his or her personal tax advisor for details regarding Participant’s obligations with respect to the stock exchange tax.
CANADA
Securities Law Information. Participant acknowledges and agrees that he or she will sell Shares acquired through participation in the Plan only outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Shares are listed. The Shares are currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange in the United States.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Participant is required to report any specified foreign property (including Shares) annually on Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of Participant’s specified foreign property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year. The form must be filed by April 30th of the following year. Specified foreign property includes Shares acquired under the Plan and may include Performance Stock Options. The Performance Stock Options must be reported‒generally at a nil cost‒if the $100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other foreign property Participant holds. If Shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the Shares. The ACB would normally equal the fair market value of the Shares at exercise for Performance Stock Options, but if Participant owns other shares, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares. It is Participant’s responsibility to comply with applicable reporting obligations.
16
Method of Payment. Due to regulatory considerations in Canada, Participant is prohibited from surrendering Shares that Participant already owns or attesting to the ownership of Shares to pay the Performance Stock Option Price or any Tax-Related Items in connection with the Performance Stock Options.
The following provisions apply if Participant is resident in Quebec:
Data Privacy. Participant hereby authorizes the Company, the Employer and their representatives to discuss with and obtain all relevant information from all personnel, professional or not, involved in the administration and operation of the Plan. Participant further authorizes the Company and its Subsidiaries to disclose and discuss the Plan with their advisors. Participant further authorizes the Company and its Subsidiaries to record such information and to keep such information in the his or her employee file.
Language Consent. The parties acknowledge that it is their express wish that the Agreement, as well as all documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant hereto or relating directly or indirectly hereto, be drawn up in English.
Les parties reconnaissent avoir exigé la rédaction en anglais de cette convention, ainsi que de tous documents exécutés, avis donnés et procédures judiciaries intentées, directement ou indirectement, relativement à ou suite à la présente convention.
CHINA
The following provisions apply only to Participants who are subject to exchange control restrictions imposed by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange ("SAFE"), as determined by the Company in its sole discretion:
Term of Performance Stock Options. This provision supplements Section 1.3 of the Agreement:
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.3 of the Agreement, in the event of Participant’s termination of Continuous Service, Participant shall be permitted to exercise the Performance Stock Option for the shorter of (a) the post-termination exercise period set forth in the Agreement and (b) six months (or such other period as may be required by SAFE) after the termination of Participant’s Continuous Service. At the end of the post-termination exercise period specified by SAFE, any unexercised portion of the Performance Stock Options shall immediately expire.
Exercise of Performance Stock Options. This provision supplements Section 1.4 of the Agreement:
The Performance Stock Options may be exercised only if and when the Company has completed the registration of the Plan with SAFE and provided such registration remains effective. If the Company is unable to complete the registration or maintain the registration, Participant will not be permitted to exercise any Performance Stock Options.
Notwithstanding anything in Section 1.4 of the Agreement to the contrary, Participant agrees to pay the Performance Stock Option Price and any Tax-Related Items solely by means of a cashless sell-to-cover or cashless sell-all method of exercise. To complete a cashless sell-to-cover or cashless sell-all exercise, Participant must provide irrevocable instructions to the broker to: (i) sell a portion or all of the Shares to be issued upon exercise; (ii) use the proceeds to pay the exercise price, brokerage fees and any applicable Tax-Related Items; and (iii) remit the balance (if any) in cash to Participant pursuant to the procedures described in the “Exchange Control Information” section below. Participant acknowledges that Morgan Stanley or such other broker as may be selected by the Company in the future is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of the Shares at any particular price. Shares issued to Participant upon exercise must be maintained in an account with Morgan Stanley or such other broker as may be designated by the Company until the Shares are sold through that broker. Due to local regulatory requirements, Participant agrees that the Company may force the sale of any Shares obtained at exercise. The sale may occur immediately upon exercise or within any other time frame as the Company determines to be necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons.
17
Exchange Control Information. Participant understands and agrees that, to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements, Participant will be required to immediately repatriate to China the cash proceeds from the sale of the Shares acquired upon the exercise of the Performance Stock Options. Participant further understands that, under local law, such repatriation of the cash proceeds will be effectuated through a special exchange control account established by the Company or its Subsidiary in China, and Participant hereby consents and agrees that the proceeds from the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan may be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to Participant. The Company may deliver the proceeds to Participant in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company’s discretion. If the proceeds are paid in U.S. dollars, Participant understands that he or she will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account. If the proceeds are converted to local currency, there may be delays in delivering the proceeds to Participant. Participant agrees to bear the risk of any currency fluctuation between the time the Shares are sold, either through voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company, or proceeds are otherwise realized under the Plan and the time such proceeds are distributed to Participant through the special exchange control account.
Participant further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China.
DENMARK
Securities/Tax Reporting Information. If Participant holds Shares acquired under the Plan in a brokerage account with a broker or bank outside Denmark, he or she is required to inform the Danish Tax Administration about the account. For this purpose, Participant must file a Form V (Erklaering V) with the Danish Tax Administration. Both Participant and the broker or bank must sign the Form V. By signing the Form V, the broker or bank undertakes an obligation, without further request each year and not later than February 1 of the year following the calendar year to which the information relates, to forward information to the Danish Tax Administration concerning the Shares in the account. In the event that the applicable broker or bank with which the account is held does wish to, or, pursuant to the laws of the country in question, is not allowed to assume such obligation to report, Participant acknowledges that he or she is solely responsible for providing certain details regarding the foreign brokerage or bank account and any Shares acquired at vesting and held in such account to the Danish Tax Administration as part of his or her annual income tax return. By signing the Form V, Participant authorizes the Danish Tax Administration to examine the account.
In addition, if Participant opens a brokerage account (or a deposit account with a U.S. bank), the brokerage account likely will be treated as a deposit account because cash can be held in the account. Therefore, Participant likely must file a Form K (Erklaering K) with the Danish Tax Administration. The Form K must be signed both by Participant and by the applicable broker or bank where the account is held. By signing the Form K, the broker/bank undertakes an obligation, without further request each year and not later than February 1 of the year following the calendar year to which the information relates, to forward information to the Danish Tax Administration concerning the content of the account. In the event that the applicable financial institution (broker or bank) with which the account is held, does not wish to, or, pursuant to the laws of the country in question, is not allowed to assume such obligation to report, Participant acknowledges that he or she is solely responsible for providing certain details regarding the foreign brokerage or bank account to the Danish Tax Administration as part of his or her annual income tax return. By signing the Form K, Participant authorizes the Danish Tax Administration to examine the account.
18
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. If Participant establishes an account holding Shares or an account holding cash outside Denmark, he or she must report the account to the Danish Tax Administration. The form may be obtained from a local bank. Please note that these obligations are separate from and in addition to the obligations described above.
SÆRLIG MEDDELELSE TIL MEDARBEJDERE I DANMARK

GERMANY
Exchange Control Information. Cross-border payments in excess of €12,500 must be reported monthly to the German Federal Bank. In case of payments in connection with securities (including payment of the Grant Price and the proceeds realized upon the sale of Shares), the report must be made by the 5th day of the month following the month in which the payment was made/received. The report must be filed electronically. The form of report (“Allgemeine Meldeportal Statistik”) can be accessed via the Bundesbank’s website (www.bundesbank.de) and is available in both German and English. Participant is responsible for satisfying the reporting obligation.
HONG KONG
Restriction on Sale of Shares. Should any portion of the Performance Stock Options vest within six months of the Grant Date, Participant agrees that Participant will not dispose of the Shares acquired at exercise prior to the six-month anniversary of the Grant Date.
Securities Law Information. Warning: The contents of this document have not been reviewed by any regulatory authority in Hong Kong. Participant is advised to exercise caution in relation to the offer. If Participant is in any doubt about any of the contents of the Agreement, including this Appendix, or the Plan, Participant should obtain independent professional advice. The Performance Stock Options and any Shares issued pursuant to the grant do not constitute a public offering of securities under Hong Kong law and are available only to employees of the Company. The Agreement, including this Appendix, the Plan and other incidental communication materials have not been prepared in accordance with and are not intended to constitute a “prospectus” for a public offering of securities under the applicable securities legislation in Hong Kong. The Performance Stock Options and any related documentation are intended only for the personal use of each eligible employee of the Company and may not be distributed to any other person.
HUNGARY
There are no country-specific provisions.
20
INDONESIA
Exchange Control Information. If Participant remits proceeds from the sale of Shares or the receipt of any dividends paid on such Shares into Indonesia, the Indonesian Bank through which the transaction is made will submit a report on the transaction to the Bank of Indonesia for statistical reporting purposes. For transactions of US$10,000 or more, a description of the transaction must be included in the report. Although the bank through which the transaction is made is required to make the report, Participant must complete a “Transfer Report Form.” The Transfer Report Form should be provided to Participant by the bank through which the transaction is made.
JAPAN
Exchange Control Information. If the Participant acquires Shares valued at more than ¥100,000,000 in a single transaction, Participant must file a Securities Acquisition Report with the Ministry of Finance through the Bank of Japan within 20 days of the purchase of the Shares. In addition, if Participant pays more than ¥30,000,000 in a single transaction for the purchase of Shares when Participant exercises the Performance Stock Options, Participant must file a Payment Report with the Ministry of Finance through the Bank of Japan by the 20th day of the month following the month in which the payment was made. The precise reporting requirements vary depending on whether or not the relevant payment is made through a bank in Japan.
A Payment Report is required independently from a Securities Acquisition Report. Therefore, if the total amount that Participant pays upon a one-time transaction for exercising this Performance Stock Option and purchasing shares of common stock exceeds ¥100,000,000, then Participant must file both a Payment Report and a Securities Acquisition Report.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Participant will be required to report details of any assets (including any Shares or the receipt of any dividends paid on such Shares acquired under the Plan) held outside of Japan as of December 31st of each year, to the extent such assets have a total net fair market value exceeding ¥50 million. Such report will be due by March 15th of the following year. Participant should consult with his or her personal tax advisor as to whether the reporting obligation applies to Participant and whether Participant will be required to report details of any outstanding Performance Stock Options or Shares held by Participant in the report.
KOREA
Exchange Control Information. Participants who realize US$500,000 or more from the sale of Shares or the receipt of any dividends paid on such Shares in a single transaction are required to repatriate the proceeds to Korea within three years of receipt. However, this repatriation requirement likely does not apply to the sale of Shares and/or the receipt of cash dividends on or after July 18, 2017.
If Participant remits funds out of Korea to pay the Grant Price for Performance Stock Options, the remittance of funds must be confirmed by a foreign exchange bank in South Korea. This confirmation is not necessary if Participant pays the Grant Price through an arrangement with a broker approved by the Company whereby payment of the exercise Grant Price is accomplished with the proceeds of the sale of Shares, because in this case there is no remittance of funds out of Korea.
21
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Korean residents must declare all foreign financial accounts (e.g., non-Korean bank accounts, brokerage accounts, etc.) to the Korean tax authority and file a report with respect to such accounts if the value of such accounts exceeds KRW 1 billion (or an equivalent amount in foreign currency). Participant should consult with his or her personal tax advisor to determine how to value Participant’s foreign accounts for purposes of this reporting requirement and whether Participant is required to file a report with respect to such accounts.
MALAYSIA
Director Notification Information. If Participant is a director of a Malaysian Subsidiary, Participant is subject to certain notification requirements under the Malaysian Companies Act, 1965. Among these requirements is an obligation to notify the Malaysian Subsidiary in writing when Participant receives an interest (e.g., Performance Stock Options) in the Company or any related companies. In addition, Participant must notify the Malaysian Subsidiary when Participant sells Shares of the Company or any related company (including when Participant sells Shares acquired under the Plan). These notifications must be made within fourteen days of acquiring or disposing of any interest in the Company or any related company.
Data Privacy Notice and Consent. This provision replaces in its entirety Section 10 of the Agreement:
Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Participant’s personal data, as described in this Agreement and any other Performance Stock Option grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and Subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan. | Peserta dengan ini secara eksplisit dan tanpa sebarang keraguan mengizinkan pengumpulan, penggunaan dan pemindahan, dalam bentuk elektronik atau lain-lain, data peribadi Peserta seperti yang diterangkan dalam Perjanjian dan apa-apa bahan Opsyen yang lain oleh dan di antara, seperti yang berkenaan, Majikan, Syarikat dan Anak-anak Syarikat untuk tujuan yang eksklusif bagi melaksanakan, mentadbir dan menguruskan penyertaan Peserta di dalam Pelan. | |
Participant understands that the Employer, the Company and Subsidiaries may hold certain personal information about Participant, including, but not limited to, Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all Performance Stock Options or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”). The Data is supplied by the Employer and also by me through information collected in connection with the Agreement and the Plan. | Peserta memahami bahawa Majikan, Syarikat and Anak-anak Syarikat mungkin memegang maklumat peribadi tertentu tentang Peserta, termasuk, tetapi tidak terhad kepada, nama Peserta, alamat rumah dan nombor telefon, tarikh lahir, nombor insurans sosial atau nombor pengenalan lain, gaji, kewarganegaraan, jawatan, apa-apa Syer atau jawatan pengarah yang dipegang dalam Syarikat, butir-butir semua Opsyen, atau apa-apa hak lain atas Syer yang dianugerahkan, dibatalkan, dilaksanakan, terletak hak, tidak diletak hak ataupun yang belum dijelaskan bagi faedah Peserta, untuk tujuan eksklusif bagi melaksanakan, mentadbir dan menguruskan Pelan tersebut ("Data"). Data tersebut dibekalkan oleh Majikan dan juga oleh saya berkenaan dengan Perjanjian dan Pelan. |
22
Participant understands that Data will be transferred to Morgan Stanley, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. Participant understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than Participant’s country. Participant understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative at +60-03-2170-7700. Participant authorizes the Company, Morgan Stanley and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker, escrow agent or other third party with whom the Shares received upon exercise of Performance Stock Options may be deposited. Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage his or her participation in the Plan. Participant understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative. Further, Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis.
