     2.       OPTION GRANTS . Each Stock Option Schedule shall set forth the number of options (the "Options") that the Committee has granted to Optionee and the effective date of such grant. Such Options are granted as an incentive to work to increase the value of the Company for its stockholders. Each Option shall entitle the Optionee to purchase, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the respective Stock Option Schedule and the Plan, one fully paid and non-assessable share of Class A Common Stock, par value $ .001 per share (the "Class A Common Stock"), of Nu Skin Enterprises at the exercise price set forth in the relevant Stock Option Schedule.
