Regards, We have been abundantly blessed as a company—not just in 2010 but throughout the last six years, and I think it is fitting to revisit last year’s Thanksgiving message, in which I challenged you to live “arrows out.” Whether you are reading this message for the first time, or have heard me Orville Thompson, CEO talk about the importance of generosity and “contribute more than you take” before, I wish you all the blessings that come from living “arrows out.” (From November 2009 Spotlight President’s Message) ARROWS IN OR ARROWS OUT? We can’t always control what happens in our lives, but we have complete control over how we respond and what we do next. External forces create experiences we think of as being good or bad, happy or sad. The question is: how can we keep growing in the face of negative circumstances? How can we be happy in challenging times? The answer is up to each of us. Will we choose to look at life from a position of gratitude, or a position of entitlement? We’re all surrounded by circumstances, relationships, possessions, and responsibilities. If we think of them as arrows, and look at life from a “what’s in it for me” 2 © 2005-2010, Scentsy, Inc.

Not to mention FUN. From Convention, to Spring Sprint, to World Tour, to incentive trips, to Boot Camp, to the Leadership Retreat—nothing can replace the in- person experience of being surrounded and welcomed by Scentsy people. Now that Scentsy has grown to over 100,000 enrolled Consultants, managing and planning these events is more challenging than ever. Our Events team works hard to make your experience memorable and seamless. They do everything they can to accommodate special requests and unique needs. But Scentsy also has to consider financial and contractual commitments with the many, many vendors who help us make each event possible. That’s where the deadlines, cancellation cutoff dates, capacity limits, and terms and conditions come in. We wish we could accommodate everyone who wants to attend—even those who make a last-minute request—but in order for an event to happen at all, there are a few cold, hard facts to consider. Jan Registration Deadlines and Capacity Limits Even though there will never be an ideal deadline for everyone (especially when “everyone” means 100,000+ people), deadlines are necessary for planning and financial purposes. Registration for all Scentsy events remains open until the published closing date or until capacity is reached—whichever comes first. As with any event (Scentsy or otherwise), the longer you wait to sign up or buy a ticket, the greater the risk the event will be sold out. Cancellations and Refunds Cancellation and refund cutoff dates are important because, after a certain point, Scentsy is financially responsible for everyone who registered. In addition, most events are heavily subsidized. For example, the Consultant price for Convention 2010 was $200, but Scentsy’s actual cost per Consultant was $400. If a Consultant registered and then cancelled after the cutoff date, Scentsy still had to pay twice what the Consultant paid even though the Consultant didn’t show up. We also have cancellation fees even for those who cancel before the cutoff date because it costs Scentsy considerable work and expense for every registration and cancellation. This is not a policy unique to Scentsy—nonrefundable deposits are common with airlines, hotels, or any tour operator. We understand that emergencies and accidents do happen, which is why we recommend purchasing travel insurance to cover your expenses in case an unforeseen event forces you to cancel. 4 © 2005-2010, Scentsy, Inc. Warm the Heart Adventure, continued Terms and Conditions: the Fine Print We know it’s no fun to read terms and conditions (writing them is not exactly a barrel of monkeys either!). However, the terms and conditions (T&Cs) published for every Scentsy event spell out essential information about deadlines, refund policies, special circumstances, and legal responsibilities for you and for Scentsy. It’s important to read the T&Cs so you can make an informed decision about whether you are willing to accept these terms before registering for a Scentsy event.
