Guaranty of Camera.  

(i)

Nature of Guaranty.  Camera hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Tara Parties, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the full and prompt payment and performance when due of all of Minero’s duties, agreements, covenants, terms, and obligations under the Binding Agreements to Purchase (the “Guaranteed Obligations”).  Camera guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of the Binding Agreements to Purchase. The obligations of Camera hereunder are absolute, present, and continuing obligations which are not conditional upon the exercise of any remedies against Minero or the making of a demand against Minero or the filing of a suit to obtain or assert a claim for personal judgment against Minero for the Guaranteed Obligations or the making of an effort at collecting the Guaranteed Obligations from Minero, or any attempt to foreclose or realize upon any security for obligations of Minero or the taking of any other action with respect to Minero, it being expressly acknowledged and agreed that Camera shall be directly obligated hereunder for all amounts payable by Minero under the Binding Agreements to Purchase and for breaches of or failures to perform or observe, or any other noncompliance with any covenant, condition, or agreement or other obligation to be performed by Minero under the Binding Agreements to Purchase or the inaccuracy (in any material respect) of any representation or warranty of Minero in the Binding Agreements to Purchase.  The liability of Camera under this Guaranty shall not be subject to any counterclaim, setoff, deduction, release, recoupment, or defense and shall remain in full force and effect and shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity, genuineness, or enforceability of the Binding Agreements to Purchase or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; (b) any change in the time, manner, or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, the Binding Agreements to Purchase; (c) any bankruptcy or insolvency of, or any merger or consolidation of, or any sale of shares in, Minero; (d) any failure by either of the Tara Parties to pursue remedies against Minero; (e) the pursuit by either Tara Party of whatsoever remedies there may be against Minero, any other guarantor or any security for any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (f) any claim as a result of any other dealing between either Tara Party and Minero; or (g) any other occurrence or circumstances whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing and any other circumstances (other than actual payment or performance) that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable defense or



7



discharge of the liabilities of a guarantor or surety or that might otherwise limit recourse against Minero.  Indefeasible fulfillment by Minero or Camera of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall dispose of any claim hereunder with respect to, and to the extent of, such of the Guaranteed Obligations.


(ii)

Waiver.  Camera hereby waives (a) notice of any of the foregoing matters, (b) promptness, diligence, demand, protest, proof, or notice of nonperformance and notice of acceptance, and (c) any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Section 12.


(iii)

Right to Deal with Minero.  At any time and from time to time, without terminating, affecting or impairing the validity of the obligations of Camera under this Section 12,  the Tara Parties may deal with Minero in the same manner and as fully as if this Section 12 did not exist and shall be entitled, among other things, to grant Minero such extension or extensions of time to perform, or to waive any obligation of Minero to perform, any act or acts as may to either Tara Party be deemed advisable, and no such waiver or extension shall in any way limit or otherwise affect any of Camera's obligations under this Section 12.


(iv)

No Waiver; Remedies.  No failure on the part of either Tara Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right under this Section 12 shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under this Section 12 preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.  The remedies provided in this Section 12 are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.


(v)

Continuing Agreement; Transfer of Interest.  This Section 12 is a continuing agreement and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (b) be binding upon Camera, and its successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by either Tara Party and its successors, transferees, and assigns.  Camera shall execute and deliver to the Tara Parties, upon their request, such instruments and assurances and take such other actions as may be necessary or advisable to confirm or evidence the rights under this Section 12 of any successor, transferee or assignee to or of either Tara Party.


(vi)

Enforcement Expenses.  Camera agrees to pay to the Tara Parties any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred by the Tara Parties in enforcing their rights under this Section 12.


13.
