of March 25, 2009, between MEXORO MINERALS LTD. (“Borrower”), a
Colorado corporation, and each lender identified on the signature pages hereto
(each, including its successors and assigns, a “Lender” and collectively the
“Lenders”). The Lender and Borrower are concurrently entering into a
financing transaction pursuant to which Borrower will issue to Lender its
Secured Convertible Debenture, dated as of even date herewith, (as amended,
modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms, the
(“Debenture”)
pursuant to which the Lender will make a loan to the Borrower in the Principal
Amount (as such term is defined in the Debenture) pursuant to, and subject to
the terms and conditions thereof.
Execution and delivery of this
Agreement is a condition precedent to the making of the Loan.
The obligation of the Lender to make
the Loan is conditioned, among other things, on the execution and delivery by
the Borrower of the Debenture and this Agreement to secure the Obligations (as
such term is defined below), such Obligations to include, without limitation,
the due and punctual payment and performance of (a) the principal of and
interest and fees due under the Debenture, when and as due, whether at maturity,
by acceleration, or otherwise, (b) all obligations of the Borrower at any time
and from time to time under this Agreement and (c) all other obligations at any
time and from time to time under the Debenture or this Agreement (the
“Obligations”).
Accordingly, the Borrower and the
Lender hereby agree as follows:
1. Definitions of
Terms. All capitalized terms used herein, but not defined
herein, shall have the meanings set forth in the Debenture. As used
herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

Attached
hereto and marked Schedule 1 is a list of the Collateral in existence as of the
date hereof.
(b) The
Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes the Lender (or its agent) to
file at any time and from time to time such financing statements with respect to
the Collateral naming the Lender as the secured party and the Borrower as
debtor, as the Lender may require, and including any other information with
respect to the Borrower or otherwise required by Article 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code of such jurisdiction as the Lender may determine in good faith,
together with any amendment and continuations with respect thereto, which
authorization shall apply to all financing statements filed on, prior to or
after the date hereof. The Lender hereby ratifies and approves all
financing statements naming the Lender as secured party and the Borrower as
debtor with respect to the Collateral (and any amendments with respect to such
financing statements) filed by or on behalf of the Lender prior to the date
hereof and ratifies and confirms the authorization of the Lender to file such
financing statements (and amendments, if any). The Borrower hereby
authorizes the Lender to adopt on behalf of the Borrower any symbol required for
authenticating any electronic filing. In the event that the
description of the collateral in any financing statement naming the Lender as
the secured party and the Borrower as debtor includes assets and properties of
the Borrower that do not at any time constitute Collateral, whether hereunder,
under any of the other Financing Agreements or otherwise, the filing of such
financing statement shall nonetheless be deemed authorized by the Borrower to
the extent of the Collateral included in such description and it shall not
render the financing statement ineffective as to any of the Collateral or
otherwise affect the financing statement as it applies to any of the Collateral,
provided, that,
in such event, upon the Borrower’s written request and at the Borrower’s
expense, the Lender shall file such amendments to its financing statements to
change the assets described therein so as to constitute the
Collateral. In no event shall the Borrower at any time file, or
permit or cause to be filed, any correction statement or termination statement
with respect to any financing statement (or amendment or continuation with
respect thereto) naming the Lender as secured party and the Borrower as debtor
so long as this Agreement has not been terminated or all of the Obligations have
not been paid and satisfied in full in immediately available funds.
(c) In the
event that any goods, documents of title are at any time after the date hereof
in the custody, control or possession of another person, the Borrower shall
promptly notify the Lender thereof in writing. Promptly upon the
Lender’s request, the Borrower shall promptly obtain an acknowledgment from such
other person, in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender, that such other
person, inter alia,
acknowledges the security interest of the Lender in such collateral, agrees to
waive any and all claims such other person may, at any time, have against such
collateral, and agrees to permit the Lender access to, and the right to remain
on, the premises of such other person so as to exercise the Lender’s rights and
remedies and otherwise deal with such collateral and in the case of any person
who at any time has custody, control or possession of any Collateral, holds such
collateral for the benefit of the Lender and shall agrees to act upon the
instructions of the Lender, without the further consent of the
Borrower.
(d) The
Borrower agrees at all times to keep in all material respects accurate and
complete accounting records with respect to the Collateral, including, but not
limited to, a record of all payments and Proceeds received.
3.
Further
Assurances. The Borrower agrees to take any other actions
reasonably requested by the Lender to insure the attachment, perfection of, and
the ability of the Lender to enforce, the security interest of the Lender in any
and all of the Collateral, including, without limitation, (i) executing,
delivering and, where appropriate, filing financing statements and amendments
relating thereto under the UCC or other applicable law, including Mexico to the
extent, if any, that the Borrower’s signature thereon is required therefor, (ii)
causing the Lender’s name to be noted as secured party on any certificate of
title for a titled good if such notation is a condition to attachment,
perfection or priority of, or ability of the Lender to enforce, the security
interest of the Lender in such Collateral, (iii) complying with any provision of
any statute, regulation or treaty of the United States as to any Collateral if
compliance with such provision is a condition to attachment, perfection or
priority of, or ability of the Lender to enforce, the security interest of the
Lender in such Collateral, (iv) obtaining the consents and approvals of any
governmental and other third party consents and approvals, including, without
limitation, any consent of any other person obligated on Collateral, (v) paying
any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of
this Agreement or the granting of the security interest of the Borrower, and
(vi) taking all actions required by any earlier versions of the UCC or by other
law, as applicable in any relevant jurisdiction.
4.
Inspection and
Verification. The Lender and such persons as the Lender may
designate shall have the right, at any reasonable time or times, and upon
reasonable notice (which may be telephonic), to inspect the Collateral owned by
the Borrower, all records related thereto (and to make extracts and copies from
such records), and the premises upon which any such Collateral is located, to
discuss the Borrower’s affairs with the officers of the Borrower and its
independent accountants and to verify under reasonable procedures the validity,
amount, quality, quantity, value, and condition of or any other matter relating
to, such Collateral, including, in the case of Receivables or Collateral in the
possession of a third person, contacting account debtors or a third person
possessing such Collateral for the purpose of making such a
verification. The provisions of this Section 4 shall not be deemed to
limit the Lender’s rights under the Debenture.
5. Taxes;
Encumbrances. At its option, the Lender may discharge past due
taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or
placed on the Collateral, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of
the Collateral to the extent the Borrower fails to do so and the Borrower agrees
to reimburse the Lender on demand for any payment made or any expense incurred
by it pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided, however, that nothing
in this Section 5 shall be interpreted as excusing the Borrower from the
performance by it of any covenants or other promises as set forth herein or in
the Debenture.
6. Assignment of Security
Interest. If at any time the Borrower shall take and perfect a
security interest in any property of an account debtor or any other person to
secure payment and performance of a Receivable, any contract right, or payment
intangible the Borrower shall promptly assign such security interest to the
Lender. Such assignment need not be filed of public record unless
necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against
creditors of and transferees from the account debtor or other person granting
the security interest.
7. Records. The
Borrower shall keep or cause to be kept records with respect to the Collateral,
which are complete and accurate in all material respects. In
addition, the Borrower will provide the Lender with such further schedules
and/or information with respect thereto as the Lender may reasonably
require.
8.
Priority. The
Lender’s security interest in the Collateral is and shall remain sa first
priority security interest with respect to the concessions collectively known as
“Cieneguita” and described in detail in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K
dated March 24, 2009. However, such security interest shall remain subordinated
on all remaining Collateral only to the extent of a $127,500 security interest
held by Paramount Gold and Silver Corp. which is required be released upon that
payment of that amount on or before April 30, 2009.
9.
Protection of
Security. The Borrower shall, at its own cost and expense,
take any and all actions reasonably necessary to defend title to the Collateral
owned by it against all persons and to defend the security interest of the
Lender in such Collateral, and the priority thereof, against any Lien of any
nature whatsoever except for Liens which may be permitted by the
Debenture.
10. Continuing Obligations of
the Borrower. The Borrower shall remain liable to observe and
perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it
under each contract, agreement, interest or obligation relating to the
Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Lender from any and all such
liabilities.
11. Remedies Upon
Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, it is agreed that the Lender shall have the right to take any
or all of the following actions at the same or different times: with
or without legal process and with or without previous notice or demand for
performance, to take possession of the Collateral and without liability for
trespass (except for actual damage caused by the Lender’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct) to enter any premises where such Collateral may be located
for the purpose of taking possession of or removing such Collateral and,
generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under, and
subject to its obligations contained in, the Uniform Commercial Code as in
effect in any state or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Borrower agrees that the Lender shall have the right to sell
or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, at public or private
sale. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property
sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of the Borrower, and
the Borrower hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of
redemption, stay and appraisal which the Borrower now has or may at any time in
the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter
enacted.
Without limiting the foregoing, upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Lender
may, in its discretion, enforce the rights of the Borrower against any account
debtor or other obligor in respect of any of the Receivables. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time or times that an Event of
Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, the Lender may, in its
discretion, at such time (i) notify any or all account debtors or other obligors
in respect thereof that the Receivables have been assigned to the Lender and
that the Lender has a security interest therein and the Lender may direct any or
all account debtors and other obligors to make payment of the Receivables
directly to the Lender, (ii) extend the time of payment of, compromise or
settle, and upon any terms or conditions, any and all Receivables and thereby
discharge or release the account debtor or any secondary obligors or other
obligors in respect thereof without affecting any of the Obligations, (iii)
demand, collect or enforce payment of any Receivable or such other obligations,
but without any duty to do so, and the Lender shall not be liable to Borrower
(or any Affiliate of Borrower) for any failure to collect or enforce the payment
thereof nor for the negligence of its agents or attorneys with respect thereto
and (iv) take whatever other action the Lender may deem necessary or desirable
for the protection of its interests. At any time that an Event of
Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, at the Lender’s request, any
notice or demand for payment sent to any account debtor shall state that the
Receivables and such other obligations have been assigned to the Lender and are
payable directly and only to the Lender and the Borrower shall deliver to the
Lender such originals of documents evidencing the sale and delivery of goods or
the performance of services giving rise to any Receivables as the Lender may
require.
The Lender shall give the Borrower five
(5) days’ written notice (which the Borrower agrees is reasonable notice) of the
Lender’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a
public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a
sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or
exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral,
or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange.
Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary
business hours and at such place or places as the Lender may fix and state in
the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral,
or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in
separate parcels, as the Lender may (in its sole and absolute discretion,
exercised in a commercially reasonable manner) determine. The Lender
shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine
not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral
shall have been given. The Lender may, without notice or publication,
adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time
to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may,
without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so
adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is
made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by
the Lender until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof,
but the Lender shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or
purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case
of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like
notice. At any public sale made pursuant to this Section 11, the
Lender may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any
right of redemption, stay or appraisal on the part of the Borrower (all said
rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law),
with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and the
Lender or any such Lender may make payment on account thereof by using any claim
then due and payable to the Lender from the Borrower as a credit against the
purchase price, and the Lender may, upon compliance with the terms of sale,
hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to the
Borrower therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to
purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale
thereof; the Lender shall be free to carry out such sale and purchase pursuant
to such agreement, and the Borrower shall not be entitled to the return of the
Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that
after the Lender shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default
shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to
exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Lender may proceed by
a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the
Collateral portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts
having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed
receiver.

12. Application of
Proceeds. The proceeds of any collection or sale of
Collateral, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, shall be applied by
the Lender as follows:
FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with such collection or
sale or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or any of the Obligations,
including, but not limited to, all court costs and the reasonable fees and
expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by
the Lender hereunder on behalf of the Borrower and any other reasonable costs or
expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy
hereunder;

on the Loan and all other fees, costs, charges and other Obligations arising

THIRD, to the Borrower, its successors
and assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise
direct.
Upon any
sale of the Collateral by the Lender (including, without limitation, pursuant to
a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt
of the Lender or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge
to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or
purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the
purchase money paid over to the Lender or such officer or be answerable in any
way for the misapplication thereof.
13. Additional Covenants as to
the Collateral.
(a) The
Borrower shall keep the Collateral at their current locations and the Borrower
will not remove the Collateral from such locations without providing at least
thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Lender, whose consent may be
withheld.

providing at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Lender, the
Borrower will not change (i) its type of organization, jurisdiction of

repair and working order as when new, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and shall

as practicable after the occurrence thereof, make or cause to be made all
repairs, replacements and other improvements in connection therewith which are
necessary or desirable to such end. The Borrower shall promptly
furnish to the Lender a statement respecting any loss or damage to any of its
Equipment.
14. Security Interest
Absolute. All rights of the Lender hereunder, the security
interest created hereby, and all obligations of the Borrower hereunder, shall be
absolute and unconditional irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or
enforceability of the Debenture, any other agreement with respect to any of the
Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the
foregoing, (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any
other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver
of or consent to any departure from the Debenture, or any other agreement or
instrument, (iii) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any other
Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to or departure
from any guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations, or (iv) any other
circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or
discharge of, the Borrower or any other obligor in respect of the Obligations or
in respect of this Agreement.
15. No
Waiver. No failure on the part of the Lender to exercise, and
no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right,
power or remedy by the Lender preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies
hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by
law. The Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights hereunder or under
any other agreement or instrument unless such waiver shall be in writing and
signed by such parties.
16. Financing

Lender agrees to waive its security interest in as to an
undivided 60% interest of Borrower in the property commonly known as
Cieneguita. Cieneguita is real property that might be acquired by the
Borrower at a future date, and shall serve as additional
Collateral.
17. Lender Appointed
Attorney-in-Fact. The Borrower hereby appoints the Lender the
attorney-in-fact of the Borrower solely for the purpose of carrying out the

of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (iii) the

the failure by the Borrower to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
In addition, the Borrower indemnifies and holds the Lender harmless from and
against any and all liability incurred by the Lender hereunder or in connection
herewith, unless such liability shall be due to the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Lender, as the case may be. Any such amounts
payable as provided hereunder or thereunder shall be additional Obligations
secured hereby.
