I think the second solution still leads to infinite regress. Take n to be the necessary truth that provides reasons for rejecting h'. Now, n must provide either defeasible or indefeasible reasons for that. If first, we need to provide a defeasible justification for (n entails ~h'). If second, both n and (n entails ~h') are necessary truths and thus ~h' is a necessary truth, but we assumed it is contingent.
