Exhibit 10.1

 

FIRST AMENDMENT

 

FIRST AMENDMENT, dated as of August 1, 2012 (this “Amendment”), to the CREDIT
AGREEMENT dated as of March 4, 2011 (as amended, modified, restated and
supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among GENERAL NUTRITION

Delaware corporation (“Parent”), the lending and other financial institutions
from time to time party thereto (each a “Lender” and collectively, the
“Lenders”), JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as administrative agent for the Lenders
(in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and the other parties party
thereto.

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the
Swingline Lender have extended credit to the Borrower, and have agreed to extend
credit to the Borrower, in each case pursuant to the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth therein;

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that certain provisions of the Credit
Agreement be amended as set forth herein;

 

WHEREAS, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent are willing to agree
to such amendments, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein;

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 2.24(a) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower has
requested that the 2012 Incremental Term Lenders (as defined below) provide
Incremental Term Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in the form of 2012
Incremental Term Loans (as defined below) to the Borrower in an aggregate
principal amount of $200,000,000; and

 

WHEREAS, the 2012 Incremental Term Lenders are willing to provide such
Incremental Term Loans in the form of 2012 Incremental Term Loans to the
Borrower pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

 

Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and
other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are
hereby acknowledged, and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the parties
hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

SECTION 1.           Defined Terms.  Terms defined in the preamble to this
Amendment shall have the meanings given to such terms in such preamble.
Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned thereto in the Credit Agreement. In addition, as used in this
Amendment, the following terms have the meanings specified below:

 

“2012 Incremental Term Commitment”:  as to any 2012 Incremental Term Lender, the
obligation of such Lender, if any, to make a 2012 Incremental Term Loan
hereunder to the Borrower in a principal amount not to exceed the amount set
forth under the heading “2012 Incremental Term Commitment” opposite such
Lender’s name on Schedule 1 hereto. The aggregate amount of the 2012 Incremental
Term Commitments of all 2012 Incremental Term Lenders as of the First Amendment
Effective Date is $200,000,000.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

“2012 Incremental Term Facility”:  each of the 2012 Incremental Term Commitments
and the 2012 Incremental Term Loans made thereunder.

 

“2012 Incremental Term Lenders”:  each Lender that has a 2012 Incremental Term
Commitment or is the holder of a 2012 Incremental Term Loan.

 

“2012 Incremental Term Loan”:  as defined in Section 2.

 

“Acknowledgment and Confirmation”:  an acknowledgement and confirmation
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto.

 

“First Amendment Effective Date”:  as defined in Section 6.

 

“Specified Provisions”:  Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.24 and 3.15 of the Credit
Agreement.

 

SECTION 2.           2012 Incremental Term Loans.  (a) Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, each 2012 Incremental Term Lender severally agrees
to make term loans (each, a “2012 Incremental Term Loan”) to the Borrower in
Dollars on the First Amendment Effective Date in an aggregate principal amount
not to exceed the 2012 Incremental Term Commitment of such Lender pursuant to a
single Borrowing. Unless previously terminated, the 2012 Incremental Term
Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the First
Amendment Effective Date.

 

(b)           All amounts of the 2012 Incremental Term Loans shall be made
available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent will make
such amounts available to the Borrower, each in accordance with Section 2.9 of
the Credit Agreement.  The failure of any 2012 Incremental Term Lender to make
any 2012 Incremental Term Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any
other 2012 Incremental Term Lender of its obligations hereunder.

 

(c)           Except as expressly set forth herein and the Credit Agreement and
other than with respect to the Specified Provisions, the 2012 Incremental Term
Loans will have the same terms as the Tranche B Term Loans and will increase the
outstanding principal amount of the Tranche B Term Loans.  The existing
outstanding Tranche B Term Loans and the 2012 Incremental Term Loans shall
constitute a single class and together shall be the Tranche B Term Loans and the
Tranche B Term Loan Facility.  Each 2012 Incremental Term Lender, by executing
and delivering this Amendment, shall be a Lender for all purposes of the Loan
Documents (including Section 8 thereof).  For the avoidance of doubt, the entire
2012 Incremental Term Facility shall be a Ratio-Based Incremental Facility. The
Lenders consent to the 2012 Incremental Term Loans and hereby waive application
of the requirement to give notice to the Administrative Agent of the request for
such 2012 Incremental Term Loans as set forth in the first sentence of Section
2.24(a) of the Credit Agreement.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in
the Credit Agreement, the 2012 Incremental Term Loans shall initially be
Eurodollar Loans with a single Interest Period beginning on the First Amendment
Effective Date and ending on August 28, 2012.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new definitions in
alphabetical order:

 

“First Amendment”:  the First Amendment, dated as of August     , 2012, to this
Agreement.

“2012 Incremental Term Lender”:  as defined in the First Amendment.

Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such section in its entirety and

Incremental Term Lenders, outstanding on the First Amendment Effective Date
shall mature in 22 consecutive quarterly installments (each a “Tranche B Term
Loan Installment Date”), commencing on September 30, 2012, each of which shall
be in an amount equal to such Lender’s Tranche B Term Loan Percentage multiplied
by the amount set forth below opposite such installment:

constitute an amendment of any other provision of the Credit Agreement not

shall remain in full force and effect.

agree that this Amendment and the Acknowledgment and Confirmation shall each
constitute a “Loan Document” as such term is used in the Credit Agreement, and
each reference in the Credit Agreement as amended hereby to the “Loan Documents”
shall be deemed to include this Amendment and the Acknowledgment and
Confirmation.

 

(c)           This Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties to
this Amendment on any number of separate counterparts, including by means of
facsimile or electronic transmission in .pdf format, and all of said
counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same

Agreement except as expressly set forth in this Amendment and the Credit
Agreement.

 

SECTION 10.         Notices.  All notices hereunder shall be given in accordance
with the provisions of Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement.

 

SECTION 11.         GOVERNING LAW; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  THIS AMENDMENT AND THE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

SECTION 14.         Severability.  Any provision of this Amendment held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other
jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace
the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the
economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions.
