WHEREAS, the Reclassification constitutes a “Merger Event” and the shares of tracking stock to be issued in reclassification of and exchange for the Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock and the Liberty Media Common Stock constitute “Reference Property” under Section 12.05 of the Indenture, thereby requiring the Company to execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture providing for the payment by the Company, upon conversion of the Notes, of cash in an amount that is based upon the Reference Property in lieu of the Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock and the Liberty Media Common Stock;
WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 12.05 of the Indenture, the supplemental indenture is to provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in Section 12 of the Indenture;
WHEREAS, Section 9.01 of the Indenture provides that the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture, without the consent of any Holders: (i) pursuant to clause (a) of Section 9.01, to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency in the Indenture or the Notes in a manner that does not adversely affect the rights of any Noteholder; (ii) pursuant to clause (f) of Section 9.01, to add to the covenants of the Company such further covenants, restrictions or conditions for the benefit of the Noteholders or surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company; and (iii) pursuant to clause (g) of Section 9.01, to make any changes that do not adversely affect the rights of any holder in any material respect;
WHEREAS, the Company and the Trustee are entering into this Second Supplemental Indenture in accordance with Section 9.01(a), (f) and (g) and Section 12.05 of the Indenture that, among other things: (i) make the Notes convertible into cash based upon the Reference Property; (ii) provides for adjustments that, in the determination of the Company, are as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided in Section 12 of the Indenture; and (iii) make such other changes that, in the determination of the Company, add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Noteholders or do not adversely affect the rights of any holder in any material respect that are necessary or appropriate due to the Notes being convertible into cash based upon the Reference Property rather than the Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock and the Liberty Media Common Stock;
WHEREAS, all requirements necessary to make this Second Supplemental Indenture a valid, binding and enforceable instrument in accordance with its terms have been done and performed, and the execution and delivery of this Second Supplemental Indenture has been duly authorized in all respects.

(iv) each Make-Whole Conversion Rate Adjustment set forth in the table above shall be adjusted in the same manner in which, at the same time and for the same events for which, the Conversion Rate is to be adjusted pursuant to Section 12.04;
(v) in no event will the Conversion Rate exceed 28.3691 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 12.04; and
(vi) If any Noteholder converts such holder’s Notes prior to or following the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Period, such holder will not be entitled to receive the increased Conversion Rate resulting from the Make-Whole Conversion Rate Adjustment in connection with such conversion.
(b) As soon as practicable after the Company determines the anticipated Effective Date of any proposed Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall mail to each Noteholder, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent written notice of, and shall issue a press release indicating, and publish on the Company’s website, the anticipated Effective Date of such proposed Make-Whole Fundamental Change and shall use commercially reasonable efforts in time to give such notice no later than thirty Business Days in advance of such anticipated Effective Date, and will update such notice and press release promptly if the anticipated Effective Date subsequently changes; provided that the Company shall not be required to give such notice or issue such press release more than thirty Business Days in advance of such anticipated Effective Date and will update its notice and press release promptly if the anticipated Effective Date subsequently changes. Each such press release notice, announcement and publication shall also state that in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall increase, in accordance herewith, the Conversion Rate applicable to Notes entitled as provided herein to such increase (along with a description of how such increase shall be calculated and the time periods during which Notes must be surrendered in order to be entitled to such increase). No later than five Business Days after the actual Effective Date of each Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall mail to each Noteholder, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent written notice of, and shall issue a press release indicating, and publish on the Company’s website, such Effective Date and the amount by which the Conversion Rate has been so increased.
Nothing in this Section 12.03 shall prevent an adjustment to the Conversion Rate or to the number of shares of any Group Common Stock in a Component of the Securities Basket pursuant to Section 12.04 in respect of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.”
