Prior to Entering the Qualification Programme In order to submit a commitment form to the Company stating intent to begin the Independent Sales Director-in-Qualification (DIQ) Programme, an IBC must: Have started her Mary Kay business at least two months before submitting the DIQ commitment form. Be active and have twelve or more active personal team members the month prior to the first month of qualification. To count toward this requirement, none of the team members can be any of the following: the spouse of any IBC, the DIQ s spouse, a personal team member submitting her commitment form in the same month as the DIQ, a current DIQ or a current Independent Sales Director. If one of her personal team members submits a commitment form in the same month as the DIQ, the DIQ will need to replace her and have at least thirteen active personal team members in the month prior to the first month of entering DIQ. Be in good standing with the Company based on the terms of the Independent Beauty Consultant Agreement (including, but not limited to, paying in full any accounts receivable with the Company under current or previous Consultant numbers).

During Qualification A DIQ may qualify as an Independent Sales Director in one, two, three or four months, based on when she achieves the following: 24,400 cumulative retail Unit production. 28 total active Unit members (including the DIQ). (To count toward this requirement, none of the DIQ s team members can be any of the following: the spouse of any IBC, the DIQ s spouse, a current DIQ [during the DIQ s qualification] or a current Independent Sales Director.) The DIQ Unit must recruit a minimum of three Active Team Members in each month of the DIQ period. One of which must have been recruited by a DIQ Unit member (other than the DIQ herself). Minimum 6,100 Unit retail production in every month. The DIQ s Unit members must contribute at least 18,300 toward the 24,400 retail Unit production requirement. A DIQ may contribute up to 6,100 in personal retail Section 1 production toward the 24,400 cumulative retail Unit production during the qualification period. The qualifying Unit is comprised of: The DIQ and her personal team members, regardless of their Unit affiliation (Exception: personal team members who already may be Independent Sales Directors or in qualification to become Independent Sales Directors). Team members recruits whose Independent Beauty Consultant Agreements are accepted by the Company on or after the first day of the month in which the DIQ begins Independent Sales Director qualification will be members of the new qualifying Unit.

The Independent Sales Director commission will be paid on the spouse s orders. 10

11 Should the DIQ s qualifying Unit fail to reach 28 active members and/or the required retail Unit production amounts, the DIQ has not qualified and must submit a new commitment form to begin qualification again (she may do so immediately if she chooses and is eligible). The DIQ s team members recruits will remain in the parent Unit. An Independent Sales Director is an independent contractor and not an employee of Mary Kay Cosmetics (UK) Ltd.

A DIQ cannot place an order on behalf of an Independent Beauty Consultant. An Independent Beauty Consultant selling the DIQ s inventory and then placing an order will not count. The DIQ cannot sell her inventory to an Independent Beauty Consultant and take her money to place an order to replace the DIQ s inventory. The DIQ cannot place an order for an Independent Beauty Consultant with her promise to pay the DIQ back. If the DIQ uses her credit card to pay for a Independent Beauty Consultant s order, the DIQ must have already received the funds from the Independent Beauty Consultant before the order is placed online. Taking a postdated cheque and placing an order for an Independent Beauty Consultant will not count. An Independent Beauty Consultant selling anyone s inventory other than her own, then placing an order, will not count. Special Considerations Should a DIQ submit a DIQ commitment form three times within a 12-month period and each time fail to meet the requirements to complete the process, she will receive a letter explaining she has one more opportunity to complete the requirements. If she does not complete the requirements on the fourth attempt, she will have to follow a four-month rebuilding plan as outlined in the letter she receives.

20 Glossary & Guidelines For career path status and compensation purposes, the following definitions are given: Commissions On reaching Star Recruiter status (3-4 active personal team members), an active IBC earns a 4% commission on the monthly wholesale order value of her personal team members orders accepted and received by the Company. On reaching Team Leader status (5-7 active personal team members), an active IBC earns 8% commission on the monthly wholesale order value of her personal team members orders accepted and received by the Company. Independent Beauty Consultant An Independent Beauty Consultant (IBC) at any level of her career path is an independent contractor, not an employee of Mary Kay Cosmetics (UK) Ltd. and will not be treated as an employee for tax purposes or otherwise. Active Order An active order is an order in which the retail value meets or exceeds 200, including VAT. Active Status To be considered active, an IBC must have placed a minimum of one active order ( 200 retail minimum) within the most recent three calendar months. Example: An IBC places an active order in the month of January. She is therefore considered active for the months of January, February and March. Affiliated The National Sales Director s (NSD) personal area plus any NSD offspring areas she may have in her down line. With 5 or more active personal team members, the Team Leader would receive 8% commission. This increases to 12% when the Team Leader herself personally places a 500 retail Section 1 order in the same month that at least 5 personal team members each place a minimum 200 retail Section 1 order. An Independent Sales Director is entitled to monthly commissions and bonuses based on the total net retail production of her Unit, including her net personal orders. Commission levels are based on net Unit retail production; however, they are paid on the wholesale value equivalent of that production less VAT. Discount A discount is available on the retail value of a Section 1 order. Retail value is defined as the recommended retail price including VAT of all items for resale to customers (Section 1 of the Consultant order form). Unaffiliated The NSD s personal area only; sometimes referred to as the pure area or rather unaffiliated to any other NSD area. Company Mary Kay Cosmetics (UK) Ltd. 20

21 Discount Schedule Section 1 Retail Value of Order Discount none % 380 or more 40% Initial Order Due to the seven-day cooling off period, the Company cannot accept an investment order totaling 200 or more from a new IBC until seven days have lapsed from the signing of her Independent Beauty Consultant Agreement. Discount Order An IBC who orders more than once in a calendar month will have the subsequent order(s) aggregated with earlier orders for calculation of the applicable discount percentage on the subsequent order(s). Example: An order placed on 17th October for 200 earns the 30% discount and an order placed on 31st October for 180 earns the 40% discount. Personal Team Members Personal team members are those personally recruited by the IBC. Spouses as Independent Beauty Consultants Spouses may be Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultants. However, there may be only one Independent Sales Director per spouse team. They may operate separately, just as if they were not related. However, for Company record purposes, one will be considered a personal team member of the other. In other words, the spouse of an Independent Beauty Consultant must be recruited by that IBC. The personal team commission and teambuilding bonus normally paid on team members will not be paid when an IBC recruits his/ her spouse. The spouse will not count in any way toward Independent Sales Director qualification or any Company promotions or awards. Qualified Team Member for All Other Incentive Programmes An IBC is considered qualified for incentive programmes when her Independent Beauty Consultant Agreement and her cumulative 200 Section 1 retail order(s) are received and accepted by the Company within the same or following calendar month. Contest Qualified for the Court of Sharing An IBC is considered Contest Qualified when the IBC Agreement and cumulative 500 Section 1 Order is received and accepted by the Company within the Seminar Year. Qualified Team Member for the Star Consultant Programme A new, qualified personal team member is an IBC who signs her Independent Beauty Consultant Agreement and places her cumulative 500 Section 1 retail order(s) within the same quarter. 1. It is illegal for a promoter or a participant in a trading scheme to persuade anyone to make a payment by promising benefits from getting others to join the scheme. 2. Do not be misled by claims that high earnings are easily achievable. NB. 500 not inclusive of a Starter Kit. 21
