ACCORDANCE WITH ANTI-TERRORISM LEGISLATION, SUCH AS THE USA PATRIOT ACT AND EXECUTIVE ORDER 13224 ENACTED BY THE U.S.

STANDING, CREDIT CAPACITY, CHARACTER, GENERAL REPUTATION, PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS AND MODE OF LIVING. ACCORDINGLY, I
VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY AUTHORIZE ANY PRESENT OR PAST EMPLOYER OR SUPERVISOR, LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY, STATE OR
FEDERAL AGENCY, CREDIT BUREAU, COLLECTION AGENCY, BANKING INSTITUTION, PRIVATE BUSINESS, MILITARY BRANCH OR THE
NATIONAL PERSONNEL RECORDS CENTER, AND/OR OTHER PERSONS TO GIVE RECORDS OR INFORMATION THEY MAY HAVE CONCERNING
MY LOAN BALANCES, CRIMINAL HISTORY, AND EMPLOYMENT RECORDS OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION REQUESTED, TO GENERAL
NUTRITION CORPORATION AND/OR ITS PARENT COMPANIES, SUBSIDIARIES OR AGENTS. I VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY RELEASE ANY OF THE ABOVE NAMED AGENCIES AND/OR INDIVIDUALS FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY RESULTING FROM
FURNISHING THIS INFORMATION.
I UNDERSTAND THAT UPON WRITTEN REQUEST, GENERAL NUTRITION CORPORATION WILL MAKE AVAILABLE TO ME A COMPLETE AND
ACCURATE DISCLOSURE OF THE NATURE AND SCOPE OF THE INVESTIGATION REQUESTED, AS WELL AS A COPY OF A SUMMARY OF MY
RIGHTS AS A CONSUMER UNDER THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT.

I UNDERSTAND THAT, IF I AM APPROVED TO BECOME A GENERAL NUTRITION CORPORATION FRANCHISEE, GENERAL NUTRITION
CORPORATION MAY RELY ON THIS AUTHORIZATION AND HAVE ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND CHECKS CONDUCTED DURING AND
THROUGHOUT THE TERM OF MY FRANCHISE AGREEMENT WITHOUT ASKING FOR MY AUTHORIZATION AGAIN.
THE UNDERSIGNED EXPRESSLY AGREE(S) TO NOTIFY FRANCHISOR IMMEDIATELY IN WRITING OF ANY MATERIAL CHANGE IN HIS/HER/THEIR

THE UNDERSIGNED CERTIFIES THAT EACH PART OF THE APPLICATION AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS HEREOF AND THE INFORMATION

THAT THE GRANTING OF A FRANCHISE IS AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF GENERAL NUTRITION CORPORATION AND THAT THE FILING OF THIS

LOCATION.
ACCORDING TO THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT, I AM ENTITLED TO KNOW IF CREDIT IS DENIED BECAUSE OF INFORMATION OBTAINED
FROM A CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCY. I WILL BE SO ADVISED AND GIVEN THE NAME OF THE AGENCY OR SOURCE OF INFORMATION.
