The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be as if it were principal debtor and not merely surety, and shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of the Debentures, the Original Indenture or this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of the Debentures, the Original Indenture or this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, or any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Issuer with respect thereto or hereto, by the Holder of the Debentures or the Trustee or any other circumstance which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification or indulgence shall, without the consent of the Guarantor, increase
the principal amount of the Debentures, or increase the interest rate thereon, or increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof, or alter the Stated Maturity thereof.
