WHEREAS, Section 14.07(a) of the Indenture provides that (i) upon the occurrence of any Common Stock Change Event, the consideration due upon conversion of any Note, and the conditions to any such conversion, will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of shares of Company Common Stock in the provisions described in Section 14.02 of the Indenture (or in any related definitions) were instead a reference to the same number of Parent Reference Property Units, and (ii) in certain circumstances, a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 14.07(a) shall be executed by an entity whose securities compose the Reference Property and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders as the Company shall in good faith reasonably consider necessary in accordance with the Indenture;

WHEREAS, Section 11.01(a) of the Indenture provides that a Successor Company (if not the Company) shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture, all of the obligations of the Company under the Notes and the Indenture;

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Indenture, the Company and the Trustee may enter into indentures supplemental to the Indenture, among other things, (i) in connection with a Common Stock Change Event pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions described in Section 14.07 of the Indenture, or (ii) to provide for the assumption by a Successor Company of the obligations of the Company under the Indenture pursuant to Article 11 thereunder;

WHEREAS, in connection with the execution and delivery of this Second Supplemental Indenture, the Trustee has received an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as contemplated by Sections 10.05, 14.07(b) and 17.05 of the Indenture;

WHEREAS, the Company and the Successor have requested and hereby request that the Trustee execute and deliver this Second Supplemental Indenture and have satisfied all requirements necessary to make this Second Supplemental Indenture a valid and binding instrument, enforceable against each of the Company and the Successor in accordance with its terms.

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