WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Base Indenture, the Issuer has requested that all of the Holders (as that term is defined in the Base Indenture) constituting 100% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding consent to the execution, delivery and performance by the Issuer of this Second Supplemental Indenture, solely in accordance with the specific terms thereof, to reflect the consent to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated on or about the date of this Second Supplemental Indenture, by and between the Issuer and Optis UP Holdings, LLC (the “Purchase Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Holders of all outstanding Notes (“All Holders”) have provided such consent (the “Consent of the Holders”) in accordance with the terms of the Base Indenture; and
