In case of conflict between the terms and conditions contained in the Securities and those contained in the Indenture, as modified and amended by this Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture, as modified and amended by this Supplemental Indenture, shall control. In case any provision in this 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 thereby. The Article and Section headings of this Supplemental Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.
SECTION 2.03. Conflict with TIA. If any provision of this Supplemental Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with any provision of the TIA that is required under the TIA to be part of and govern any provision of this Supplemental Indenture, the provision of the TIA shall control. If any provision of this Supplemental Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the TIA that may be so modified or excluded, the provision of the TIA shall be deemed to apply to the Indenture as so modified or to be excluded by this Supplemental Indenture, as the case may be.
SECTION 2.04. Successors; Benefits of Supplemental Indenture, etc. All agreements of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in this Supplemental Indenture shall bind their respective successors.

SECTION 2.05. Certain Duties and Responsibilities of the Trustee; Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals. In entering into this Supplemental Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to the benefit of every provision of the Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability or affording protection to the Trustee, whether or not elsewhere herein so provided.

SECTION 2.06. Governing Law. This Supplemental Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.
