NOW, THEREFORE:
In consideration of the promises and the purchases of the Future Senior Notes by the Holders thereof, the Company and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and proportionate benefit of the respective Holders from time to time of the Future Senior Notes as follows:
Section 1. The Base Indenture is hereby amended solely with respect to any and all Future Senior Notes by adding after the end of paragraph five of Section 11.02 of the Base Indenture in its entirety as follows:
“Any redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, which shall be set forth in the related notice of redemption, including, but not limited to, completion of an equity offering, other offering or financing or other transaction or event. In addition, if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time(provided, however,that any redemption date shall not be less than 10 days and no more than 60 days after the date of the notice of redemption) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed.
If any such condition precedent has not been satisfied, the Company shall provide written notice to the Trustee prior to the close of business one Business Day prior to the redemption date. Upon receipt of such notice, the notice of redemption shall be rescinded or delayed, and the redemption of the Notes shall be rescinded or delayed as provided in such notice. Upon receipt, the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the Notes in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given.
Section 2. The recitals and statements in this Second Supplemental Indenture are made by the Company only and not by the Trustee, and the Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Second Supplemental Indenture (other than with respect to the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Second Supplemental Indenture by the Trustee). All of the provisions contained in the Base Indenture in respect of the rights, privileges, immunities, powers and duties of the Trustee shall be applicable in respect of the Future Senior Notes and of this Second Supplemental Indenture as fully and with like effect as if set forth herein in full.
Section 3. As supplemented hereby, the Base Indenture is in all respects ratified and confirmed, and the Base Indenture and this Second Supplemental Indenture shall be read, taken and construed as one and the same instrument.

Section 5. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Base Indenture and the terms and conditions of this Second Supplemental Indenture, then the terms and conditions of this Second Supplemental Indenture shall prevail;provided that if and to the extent that any provision of this Second Supplemental Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision which is required to be included herein or in the Base Indenture by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, such required provision shall control.
Section 6. All covenants and agreements in this Second Supplemental Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.
Section 7. In case any provision in this Second Supplemental Indenture shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired hereby.
