3. EFFECT AND OPERATION OF THIRD SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE. This Third Supplemental Indenture shall be effective and binding immediately upon its execution by the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, and thereupon this Third Supplemental Indenture shall form a part of the Indenture for all purposes, and every Note and Note Guarantee heretofore or hereafter authenticated and delivered under the Indenture shall be bound hereby. Except as modified and amended by this Third Supplemental Indenture, all provisions of the Indenture shall remain in full force and effect.
4. INDENTURE AND THIRD SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE CONSTRUED TOGETHER. This Third Supplemental Indenture is an indenture supplemental to, and in implementation of, the Indenture, and the Indenture and this Third Supplemental Indenture shall henceforth be read and construed together. Except as expressly modified herein, the Indenture is in all respects ratified and confirmed, and all the terms, provisions and conditions thereof shall be and remain in full force and effect.
5. TRUST INDENTURE ACTS CONTROLS. If any provisions hereof limit, qualify or conflict with any provisions of the TIA required under the TIA to be a part of or govern this Third Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of the TIA shall control. If any provision hereof modifies or excludes any provision of the TIA that pursuant to the TIA may be so modified or excluded, the provision of the TIA as so modified or excluded hereby shall apply.
6. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, general or limited partner, quotaholder, stockholder or agent of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under the Notes, any Note Guarantees, the Indenture or this Third Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.
7. NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
8. COUNTERPARTS. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Third Supplemental Indenture (including facsimile transmission or portable document format). Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.
9. EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

10. THE TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Third Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Company and the Guarantors.
