Re: Support Agreement
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This support agreement (this “Agreement”) sets forth our understanding and agreement with respect to your investment in and representation on the Board of Directors of Herbalife Ltd., a Cayman Islands corporation (the “Company” and, such Board of Directors, the “Board”) and certain restrictions and limitations to be placed on Carl C. Icahn, Icahn Partners Master Fund LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund II LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund III LP, Icahn Offshore LP, Icahn Partners LP, Icahn Onshore LP, Beckton Corp., Hopper Investments LLC, Barberry Corp., High River Limited Partnership, Icahn Capital LP, IPH GP LLC, Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P., and Icahn Enterprises G.P. Inc. (collectively with you, the “Icahn Parties”). In consideration of and reliance upon the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledge, by signing this Agreement, the parties agree and acknowledge as follows:
|
1.

Board Matters & Voting.
|
(a) In consideration of the Icahn Parties’ agreement set forth in this Agreement, the Company will (i) increase the size of the Board from nine to eleven members immediately before the 2013 annual general meeting of stockholders, which the Company agrees shall be held and completed on or prior to May 30, 2013 (the “2013 Annual Meeting”) and (ii) nominate two designees of the Icahn Parties’, who are approved by the Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and may be employees of, or affiliated with, one or more Icahn Parties (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to the Board as Class II directors (the “Icahn Designees”), for election at the 2013 Annual Meeting.
The Company shall include the Icahn Designees in the Company’s slate of nominees for election as directors of the Company at the 2013 Annual Meeting and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the election of the Icahn Designees to the Board at the 2013 Annual Meeting (including recommending that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the election of the Icahn Designees, including such nominees in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2013 Annual Meeting and otherwise supporting such nominees for election in a manner no less rigorous and favorable than the manner in which the Company supports its other nominees in the aggregate). The Icahn Parties and the Icahn Designees shall provide the Company with such information with respect to the Icahn Parties and the Icahn Designees as is required to be included in the proxy statement under applicable law.
If any of the Icahn Designees resigns from the Board or is rendered unable to, or refuses to, be appointed to, or to serve on, the Board, the Icahn Parties shall be entitled to designate a replacement for each such Icahn Designee that is approved by the Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) for each such Icahn Designee (and if such proposed designee is not approved by such committee, the Icahn Parties shall be entitled to continue designating a replacement until such proposed designee is approved by the Company and such committee) (a “Replacement”), and the Company shall take all necessary action to promptly appoint such person to the Board. Any such person who becomes a Board member in replacement of an Icahn Designee pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be an Icahn Designee for all purposes under this Agreement and prior to his or her appointment to the Board, shall be required to, and the Icahn Parties shall cause such person to, execute the resignation as director in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and deliver it to the Company.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that any policy of the Company or of the Board, whether formal or informal, in existence as of the date hereof or subsequently adopted, including without limitation, any Insider Trading Policy, shall only be applicable to the Icahn Designees and in no event shall any such policies have any applicability with respect to any Icahn Party or any of their Affiliates.
(b) As of the date hereof, the Company represents and warrants that the Board is composed of nine (9) directors and that there are no vacancies on the Board. Except as required by Section 1(a)(i), the Company agrees that it will not, from and after the date hereof, take any action, or support any Person (as defined below) who is seeking, to increase the size of the Board above fifteen (15) directors, each having one vote on all matters; provided that the Company further agrees that, from and after the date hereof, and following the 2013 Annual Meeting, for so long as an Icahn Designee is a member of the Board or the Icahn Parties are in the process of identifying a Replacement as permitted under the third paragraph of Section 1(a), if the Company or the Board increases the size of the Board to greater than thirteen (13) directors, then, for so long as the size of the Board is greater than thirteen (13) directors, the Icahn Parties shall have the right to designate an additional person approved by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) as a director (and if such proposed designee is not approved by such committee, the Icahn Parties shall be entitled to continue designating a Replacement) and the Company shall take all necessary action to promptly appoint such person to the Board. Any such person shall be deemed to be an Icahn Designee for all purposes under this Agreement and prior to his or her appointment to the Board, shall be required to, and the Icahn Parties shall cause such person to, execute the resignation as director in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and deliver it to the Company.
(c) For any annual general meeting of Company stockholders subsequent to the 2014 annual general meeting of stockholders (the “2014 Annual Meeting”) but only for so long as an Icahn Designee is a member of the Board or the Icahn Parties are in the process of identifying a Replacement as permitted under the third paragraph of Section 1(a), the Company agrees to notify the Icahn Parties between the January 5th and 15th immediately preceding such annual general meeting (which such date of notification shall in no event be less than 20 calendar days before the advance notice deadline (the “Advance Notice Deadline”) set forth in Sections 73 to 76 of the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (as may be amended, the “Memorandum and Articles”), as such date may change from time to time) whether or not any Icahn Designee who’s term of office is expiring at such annual general meeting (such notice, the “Company Notice”) will be nominated by the Company for election as a director at such annual general meeting and, if any Icahn Designee will be nominated, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the election of any such nominees so nominated by the Company (including recommending that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the election of any such nominees, including such nominees in the Company’s proxy statement for such annual general meeting and otherwise supporting any such nominee for election in a manner no less rigorous and favorable than the manner in which the Company supports its other nominees in the aggregate). In the event that the Company notifies the Icahn Parties that any Icahn Designee will not be nominated by the Company for election as a director pursuant to the preceding sentence or if within ten (10) days of the Company Notice the Icahn Designees resign from the Board, then Company agrees that the Advance Notice Deadline for the upcoming annual meeting, will not be prior to March 15th of the applicable year and that the Company shall set the date of such annual general meeting so that such Advance Notice Deadline will comply with this sentence. The Company agrees that the Advance Notice Deadline for the 2014 Annual Meeting will not be prior to March 15, 2014, and that the Company shall set the date of the 2014 Annual Meeting so that such Advance Notice Deadline will comply with this sentence.
(d) For so long as an Icahn Designee is a member of the Board or the Icahn Parties are in the process of identifying a Replacement as permitted under the third paragraph of Section 1(a), the Company agrees that the Board shall not create an executive committee unless at least one of the Icahn Designees is appointed as a member of such committee and such committee has no more than three (3) members. For purposes of this Section 1(d), the term executive committee shall include any committee of the Board that is empowered, instructed to, tasked with or otherwise takes any action or proposes to take any action regarding any matter that relates to the Company’s strategic direction, extraordinary transactions or any other matters that are of a material nature to the Company; provided that nothing in this Section 1(d) shall prohibit the Company or the Board from creating a committee that does not include any Icahn Designees to consider specific matters that include conflicts of interest between the Company and the Icahn Parties if it would be prudent as a matter of law to exclude the Icahn Designees from membership on such committee.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement: (i) the rights and privileges set forth in this Agreement shall be personal to the Icahn Parties and may not be transferred or assigned to any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, estate, trust, association, organization or other entity of any kind or nature (each, a “Person”), except that the Icahn Parties shall be permitted to transfer or assign this Agreement to their controlled Affiliates and (ii) if at any time after the date hereof, the Icahn Parties (together with their controlled Affiliates) cease collectively to Beneficially Own, at least 7,007,575 shares of the Company’s common shares, as adjusted to account for any stock split, stock dividend or similar corporate action, (y) the Icahn Parties shall cause the Icahn Designees to promptly tender their resignations from the Board and any committee of the Board on which they may be a member and (z) except as set forth in Section 13, the Company shall have no further obligations under this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Icahn Designee shall, prior to his or her appointment to the Board, and each member of the Icahn Parties shall cause each such Icahn Designee to, execute an irrevocable resignation as director in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and deliver it to the Company. For purposes of this Agreement: the term “Affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 12b-2 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and “Beneficially Own” or variations thereof shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

(b) (A) other than in connection with a Permitted Opposition (as defined below), encourage, advise or influence any other Person or assist any third party in so encouraging, assisting or influencing any other Person with respect to the giving or withholding of any proxy, consent or other authority to vote or in conducting any type of referendum (other than such encouragement, advice or influence that is consistent with Company management’s recommendation in connection with such matter) or (B) advise, influence or encourage any Person (other than the Icahn Parties and their Representatives) or effect or seek to effect, whether alone or in concert with others, the election or nomination of a director other than as permitted in this Agreement or (C) advise, influence or encourage any Person, other than the Icahn Parties and their Representatives, to commence a tender offer; provided, however, that neither this clause (b) nor any other provision in this Agreement shall restrict or otherwise limit the Icahn Parties’ from being able to vote any voting securities of the Company in favor of or against any proposal, action or transaction; provided, further, that in the event of a third party tender or exchange offer for securities of the Company that has been commenced and not withdrawn by a Person other than the Icahn Parties or any Affiliate of an Icahn Party (a “Third Party Offer”), the Icahn Parties shall be permitted to commence, and if successful, consummate, a competing tender or exchange offer for any and all of the outstanding voting securities of the Company that would, if consummated, result in the Icahn Parties owning at least a majority of the then outstanding common shares or voting power of the Company in the aggregate, which tender offer will be conditioned on such purchases in the tender offer, when added to number of common shares Beneficially Owned by the Icahn Parties’ immediately prior to the tender offer, equaling at least such majority of common shares (a “Competing Offer”);
(c) other than in connection with a Permitted Opposition, solicit proxies or written consents of stockholders or conduct any other type of referendum (binding or non-binding) with respect to the common shares of the Company, or from the holders of the common shares of the Company, or become a “participant” (as such term is defined in Instruction 3 to Item 4 of Schedule 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) in or assist any third party in any “solicitation” of any proxy, consent or other authority (as such terms are defined under the Exchange Act) to vote any common shares of the Company (other than any encouragement, advice or influence that is consistent with Company management’s recommendation in connection with such matter); provided that except as expressly agreed in Section 4, the Icahn Parties shall not be restricted from voting any common shares of the Company in favor of or against any proposal or other action for which such solicitation is being made;
(d) form or join in a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with respect to any common shares of the Company or agree to or deposit any common shares of the Company or any securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for any such common shares in any voting trust or similar arrangement (other than to the named proxies included in the Company’s proxy card for any annual general meeting);

provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall limit or in any way apply to any actions or communications that may be taken by an Icahn Designee as a director of the Company.
Nothing in this Section 2 or any other provision in this Agreement shall prohibit, be deemed to prohibit or otherwise restrict the Icahn Parties from (1) commencing, and if successful, consummating a Competing Offer, or (2) in order to allow new directors designated by the Icahn Parties to satisfy any conditions included in such Competing Offer, (x) soliciting proxies, (y) seeking to replace any member or members of the Board or (z) seeking to amend or modify the Memorandum and Articles; provided, in the case of clause (2), (a) such action or actions having substantially the same or a similar purpose or effect, have also been taken, or have been proposed to be taken, by the Person commencing the Third Party Offer and (b) prior to taking any such actions, the Icahn Designees have resigned from the Board.
