FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

 

FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE (this “First Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of December 10, 2013, between Alphabet Holding Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee under the Indenture referred to below (the “Trustee”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H

 

WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture, dated as of October 17, 2012 (the “Indenture”), providing for the issuance of 7.75%/8.50% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “Notes”);

 

WHEREAS, Section 9.2 of the Indenture provides that the Company and the Trustee may, with the consent of the Holders (as defined in the Indenture) of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (the “Requisite Consents”), amend or supplement the Indenture and the Notes;

 

WHEREAS, the Company intends to issue up to $450 million aggregate principal amount of additional notes (“Additional Notes”) under the Indenture that will have substantially identical terms as the Notes, will constitute the same series of securities as the Notes for purposes of the Indenture governing the Notes and will vote together on all matters with such series;

 

WHEREAS, the Additional Notes will be offered to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A of the Securities Act and to persons outside the United States under Regulation S under the Securities Act (the “Additional Notes Offering”);

 

WHEREAS, in connection with the Additional Notes Offering, the Company has solicited consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) to add a new “basket” in the restricted payment covenant for a dividend or distribution to the Company’s shareholders up to the net proceeds of the Additional Notes Offering less the amount available for restricted payments under the “builder” basket in Section 3.4(a)(C) of the Indenture (the “Proposed Restricted Payment Amendments”);

 

WHEREAS, in connection with the Consent Solicitation, the Company intends, upon satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in a consent solicitation statement of the Company, dated as of December 2, 2013 (the “Consent Solicitation Statement”), to pay an aggregate cash payment equal to $15.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for which consents to the Proposed Restricted Payment Amendments are validly delivered and unrevoked (the “Consent Fee”) to D.F. King & Co., Inc. (in such capacity, the “Paying Agent”) on behalf of the Holders who delivered such valid and unrevoked consents to the Proposed Restricted Payment Amendments on or prior to the 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on December 10, 2013 (the “Expiration Date”);

 

WHEREAS, the Consent Solicitation is conditioned upon, among other things, the Proposed Restricted Payment Amendments to the Indenture set forth herein having been approved by Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (and this First Supplemental Indenture in respect thereof having been executed and delivered), with such Proposed Restricted Payment Amendments becoming operative upon payment of the Consent Fee by the Company to the Paying Agent on behalf of the Holders (the “Operative Time”), and if such certain conditions to the Consent Solicitation are not satisfied on or prior to January 31, 2014, the Consent Solicitation will be abandoned, no Consent Fees will be paid to any Holder and the Proposed Restricted Payment Amendments will be void (the “Termination”);

 

 

WHEREAS, the Company has received the Requisite Consents to effect the Proposed Restricted Payment Amendments (based on certifications made by D.F. King & Co., Inc., in such capacity, as tabulation agent in the Consent Solicitation), and has provided the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate, pursuant to Section 9.5 of the Indenture, certifying as to the same;

 

WHEREAS, the Company has been authorized by a resolution of its Board of Directors to enter into this First Supplemental Indenture;

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.5 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this First Supplemental Indenture;

 

WHEREAS, all acts and requirements necessary to make this First Supplemental Indenture the legally valid and binding obligation of the Company have been done.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:

 

Section 1.  RATIFICATION OF INDENTURE.  Except as specifically modified herein, the Indenture is in all respects ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

(a) the following new clause (xx) is added:

 

(xx) the declaration or payment of dividends or distributions on account of the Issuer’s Equity Interests up to the amount equal to (x) the net proceeds of the 2013 Additional Notes Offering minus (y) the amount available for Restricted Payments through September 30, 2013 pursuant to clause (C) under Section 3.4(a);

 

(b) the “and” at the end of clause (xviii) is deleted; and

The Company shall give the Trustee prompt written notice of the occurrence of the Operative Time.  In the event of the Termination, the Company shall give the Trustee prompt written notice of the occurrence of the Termination and this First Supplemental Indenture shall cease to be effective.
