In case of the failure of the Issuer punctually to make any such payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, or any such sinking fund or analogous payment that may be payable with respect to the Debentures or any Additional Amounts that may be payable with respect to the Debentures, the Guarantor hereby agrees to cause any such payment to be made punctually when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether on the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Issuer.

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. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest or notice with respect to the Debentures or the indebtedness evidenced thereby, or with respect to any sinking fund or analogous payment that may be payable with respect to the Debentures or with respect to any Additional Amounts that may be payable with respect to the Debentures and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that its obligations under this Section 2.1 will not be discharged except by payment in full of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on and any Additional Amounts that may be payable with respect to the Debentures.
