ARTICLE VIII.

Compromises and Collection of Collateral.  The Corporation and the Lender recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to a Receivable.  In view of the foregoing, the Corporation agrees that the Lender



Security Agreement - Liberty Silver Corp.

10



may at any time and from time to time, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Lender in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such action by the Lender shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Lender acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.

8.3

Secured Party Performance of the Corporation’s Obligations.  Without having any obligation to do so, with ten (10) days prior to written notice to the Corporation, the Lender may, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, perform or pay any obligation which the Corporation has agreed to perform or pay in this Agreement and the Corporation shall reimburse the Lender for any amounts paid by the Lender pursuant to this Section 8.3.  The Corporation’s obligation to reimburse the Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be a Secured Obligation payable on demand.

8.5

Specific Performance of Certain Covenants.  The Corporation acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 4.1(b), 4.1(c), 4.6, or 8.7 or in Article VII will cause irreparable injury to the Lender, that the Lender has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breaches and therefore agrees, without limiting the right of the Lender to seek and obtain specific performance of other obligations of the Corporation contained in this Agreement, that the covenants of the Corporation contained in the Sections referred to in this Section 8.5 shall be specifically enforceable against the Corporation.

Form of Account Control Agreement

ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT

THIS ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of ____________, 20__, between Liberty Silver Corp. (the “Corporation”),                                      , (the “Bank”) and BG Capital Group Ltd. (the “Lender”), under that certain Security Agreement dated as of November 14, 2013 between the Corporation and the Lender (as amended, restated or modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”).

RECITALS

A.

To secure the repayment and performance of certain indebtedness, the Corporation has executed and delivered to the Lender a Security Agreement pursuant to which the Corporation granted to the Lender a security interest in all of the Corporation’s deposit accounts and all rights in connection therewith (the “Collateral”), including, without limitation, account number(s) _______________ maintained by the Corporation with Bank (the “Account”).

B.

The Corporation, the Lender and Bank are entering into this Agreement to, among other things, provide for the Lender’s control over the Account in order to perfect the security interest of the Lender therein as provided under the Security Agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, Corporation, Lender and Bank agree as follows:

1.

Notice of Security Interest of Lender.  Bank hereby acknowledges notice of the security interest of the Lender in the Account.

2.

Disposition Following Notice of Actionable Default.  Following written notice from the Lender that an Event of Default (as defined in the Security Agreement) has occurred and is continuing (the “Notice”) without further consent or authorization from the Corporation, Bank shall transfer pursuant to the Lender’s instructions any collected and available balances in the Account at the end of each Business Day to such account(s) as the Lender may specify from time to time.  The Corporation hereby releases and discharges Bank from any liability on account of any transfer from the Account made in accordance with the Lender’s instructions.  Prior to receipt of the Lender’s Notice, Bank may permit the Corporation to operate and transact business through the Account in its normal fashion, including making withdrawals and transfers from the Account.  The Lender shall give Bank sufficient advance written notice of any change in the instructions for the Bank to act upon such changes.  Funds are not available if, in the reasonable determination of the Lender, they are subject to a hold, dispute or legal process preventing their withdrawal.  “Business Day” shall mean each Monday through Friday, excluding bank holidays.  Following receipt of the Lender’s Notice, Bank shall not honor any withdrawal or transfer



E-1

Security Agreement - Liberty Silver Corp.




request by Corporation with respect to the Account or any request by the Corporation to close or modify the Account.

3.

Returned Checks.  If the balance in the Account is not sufficient to pay Bank for any returned check, draft or other order for the payment of money deposited in the Account, the Lender agrees to pay Bank on demand any amounts actually received by the Lender with respect to such returned check, draft or order of payment if such amounts have not yet been distributed by the Lender.

4.

Fees and Charges.  If the balance in the Account is not sufficient to compensate Bank for any fees or charges due Bank with respect to the Account and the Corporation has not otherwise paid such fees, the Lender agrees to pay Bank such fees on demand from any amounts actually received by the Lender from the Account if such amounts have not yet been distributed by the Lender.

5.

Debit of Account.  The Corporation hereby authorizes Bank, without prior notice, from time to time to debit any other account the Corporation may have with Bank for the amount or amounts due Bank under Sections 3 and 4.

6.

Limitations on Offset.  Bank agrees it shall not offset against the Account, except as permitted under this Agreement, until it has been advised in writing by the Lender that the Security Agreement has been terminated.  The Lender shall notify Bank promptly in writing upon such termination and this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon receipt of such notice.

7.

Termination.  So long as no Notice has been given, the Corporation may terminate this Agreement at any time by closing the Account provided that (i) the Corporation provides the Lender not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of its intent to close the Account, (ii) the funds on deposit in the Account are redeposited with a financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Lender, and (iii) the financial institution in which the funds are deposited enters into an agreement substantially similar to this Agreement with the Lender and Corporation.  Following the date that a Notice has been given, Corporation may not close the Account or terminate this Agreement without the Lender’s prior written consent.

8.

Limitation of Bank’s Liability.  Bank shall not be liable to Corporation or the Lender for any expense, claim, loss, damage or cost (“Damages”) arising out of or relating to its performance under this Agreement other than those Damages which result from the Bank’s intentional breach of this Agreement or directly from its acts or omissions constituting negligence.  In no event shall Bank be liable for any special, indirect, exemplary or consequential damages, including but not limited to lost profits.  Bank shall be excused from failing to act or delay in acting, and no such failure or delay shall constitute a breach of this Agreement or otherwise give rise to any liability of Bank, if (a) such failure or delay is caused by circumstances beyond Bank’s reasonable control, including but not limited to legal constraint, emergency conditions, action or inaction of governmental, civil or military authority, fire, strike, lockout or other labor dispute, war, riot, theft, flood, earthquake or other natural disaster, breakdown of public or private or common carrier communications or transmission facilities, equipment failure, or act, negligence or default of the Corporation or the Lender or (b) such



E-2

Security Agreement - Liberty Silver Corp.




failure or delay resulted from Bank’s reasonable belief that the action would have violated any guideline, rule or regulation of any governmental authority.

9.

Indemnity.  The Corporation shall indemnify Bank against, and hold it harmless from, any and all liabilities, claims, costs, expenses and damages of any nature (including but not limited to allocated costs of staff counsel, other reasonable attorneys’ fees and any fees and expenses incurred in enforcing this Agreement) in any way arising out of or relating to disputes or legal actions concerning this Agreement.  This section does not apply to any cost or damage attributable to the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Bank.  The Corporation’s and the Lender’s obligations under this section shall survive termination of this Agreement.

10.

No Previous Assignment.  The Corporation represents and warrants that it has not assigned or granted a security interest in the Account or any funds now or hereafter deposited in the Account, except to the Lender.  Bank acknowledges that it is not aware of any adverse claim against the Account.

11.

Corporation’s Covenants.  The Corporation covenants and agrees that:  (a) after Notice has been given, it shall not withdraw any monies from the Account until such time as the Lender advises Bank in writing that the Lender no longer claims any interest in the Account and the monies deposited and to be deposited in the Account; and (b) it shall not permit the Account to become subject to any other pledge, assignment, lien, charge or encumbrance of any kind, nature or description, other than the Lender’s security interest referred to herein.

12.

Bank Charges.  The Lender acknowledges and agrees that Bank has the right to charge the Account from time to time, as set forth in this Agreement, and the account agreement, as said agreements are amended from time to time, and that the Lender has no right to the sums so withdrawn by Bank.

13.

Account Information.  At the Lender’s request, in addition to the original statements which will be provided to Corporation, Bank shall provide the Lender with duplicate statements and such other account information reasonably requested by the Lender.  The Corporation authorizes Bank to provide any account information requested by the Lender.

14.

Amendments in Writing.  This Agreement may be amended only by a writing signed by the Corporation, the Lender and Bank.

15.

Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts; all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

16.

Notices.  Any written notice or other written communication to be given to each party under this Agreement shall be addressed to the person at the address set forth on the signature page of this Agreement or to such other person or address as a party may specify in writing.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any such notice shall be effective upon receipt.

17.

Final Agreement.  This Agreement controls in the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any other document or written or oral statement.  This Agreement supersedes



E-3

Security Agreement - Liberty Silver Corp.




all prior understandings, writings, proposals, representations and communications, oral or written, of any party relating to the subject matter hereof.

18.

No Fiduciary Relationship.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create any agency, fiduciary, joint venture or partnership relationship between or among the Corporation, the Lender and Bank.

19.

Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada without reference to principles of conflicts of law.
