EMPLOYEE BENEFITS ALLOCATION AGREEMENT
This Employee Benefits Allocation Agreement (this "Agreement") is effective as of the date of execution by and between Nu Skin International, Inc., a Utah corporation ("NSI"), and Nu Skin USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("NUSA").
Recitals:
Whereas, pursuant to the terms of the Contribution and Distribution Agreement (the "C&D Agreement") effective as of December 31, 1997 by and between NSI and NUSA, NSI and NUSA have agreed to determine each party's rights and obligations as applied to employee benefits.
Whereas, as a result of the events contemplated in the C&D Agreement, NSI will transfer certain employees to NUSA (the "NUSA Employees").
Whereas, following the execution of the Stock Acquisition Agreement between the stockholders of NSI and Nu Skin Asia Pacific, Inc. ("NSAP"), a Delaware Corporation, it is reasonably likely that NSI and NUSA will no longer be in the same "controlled group" under Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), but neverthless will continue to have substantial common ownership.
Agreement:
Now, therefore, the parties do agree as follows:
1. Nu Skin International, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the "401(k) Plan").
(a) Employee Participation; Participating Employer
Subject to compliance with applicable law, NUSA
Employees shall continue to participate in the 401(k) Plan on
the same terms and conditions under which they participated
prior to the execution of this Agreement. NUSA shall become a
participating employer in the 401(k) Plan as soon as possible
following the execution of the Agreement, and in no event
later than the next following payroll date of NUSA. NUSA shall
execute the original of the 401(k) Plan or a supplemental
participation agreement as a participating employer in a
multiple employer plan. NSI shall continue to serve as plan
sponsor and plan administrator of the 401(k) Plan. The power
to amend the 401(k) Plan shall remain exclusively with NSI,
subject to NUSA's right to withdraw from the 401(k) Plan.
(b) 401(k) Plan Contributions/Expenses.
Contributions made to the 401(k) Plan by NUSA and
administrative expenses incurred by the 401(k) Plan on behalf
of NUSA Employee participants of the 401(k) Plan shall be paid
by NUSA in accordance with the terms of the 401(k) Plan and
shall be paid either directly to the trustee and service
providers of the 401(k) Plan or through an internal accounting
charge from NSI to NUSA; provided, that in all cases, all NUSA
Employee participant elective deferrals shall be forwarded to
the 401(k) Plan trustee within the legally required time
(c) Application of "Same Desk" Rule.
The "same desk" rule of Code section 401(k) shall
apply to all NUSA Employees for purposes of restricting the
ability of any NUSA Employee to receive a distribution from
the 401(k) Plan following their transfer from NSI to NUSA. No
"separation from service" shall be deemed to have occurred
with respect to the NUSA Employees transferred under the
2. Nu Skin International Employee Medical Benefit Plan (the "Medical Plan").
(a) Employee Participation; Participating Employer
NUSA Employees shall continue to participate in the
Medical Plan on the same terms and conditions under which they
participated prior to the execution of this Agreement. NSI
shall amend the Medical Plan to permit participation by NUSA
Employees in the Medical Plan.
(b) Notification to Carriers; Additional Actions.
NSI agrees to notify all of its insurance carriers
who provide welfare benefits under the Medical Plan as soon as
possible following the execution of this Agreement that NUSA
Employees are to be covered employees of the NSI insured group
pursuant to the terms of the respective insurance
arrangements. Such notification shall be provided to the
following insurance carriers: Blue Cross/ValueCare; FHP
