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 Debtor agrees that the Lender may at any time and from time to time, if
a Default has occurred and is continuing, 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.
13
8.3 Secured Party Performance of Debtor Obligations. Without having any obligation to
do so, the Lender may perform or pay any obligation which the Debtor has agreed to perform or pay
in this Security Agreement and the Debtor shall reimburse the Lender for any amounts paid by the
Lender pursuant to this Section 8.3. The Debtor’s obligation to reimburse the Lender pursuant to
the preceding sentence shall be a Secured Obligation payable on demand.
8.4 Authorization for Secured Party to Take Certain Action. The Debtor irrevocably
authorizes the Lender at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Lender and
appoints the Lender as its attorney in fact (i) to execute on behalf of the Debtor as debtor and to
file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Lender’s sole discretion to perfect and to
maintain the perfection and priority of the Lender’s security interest in the Collateral, (ii) to
indorse and collect any cash proceeds of the Collateral, (iii) to file a carbon, photographic or
other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the
Collateral as a financing statement and to file any other financing statement or amendment of a
financing statement (which does not add new collateral or add a debtor) in such offices as the
Lender in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the
perfection and priority of the Lender’s security interest in the Collateral, (iv) to contact and
enter into one or more agreements with the issuers of uncertificated securities which are
Collateral and which are Securities or with financial intermediaries holding other Investment
Property as may be necessary or advisable to give the Lender Control over such Securities or other
Investment Property, (v) subject to the terms of Section 4.1.5, to enforce payment of the
Receivables in the name of the Lender or the Debtor, (vi) to apply the proceeds of any Collateral
received by the Lender to the Secured Obligations as provided in Article VII, and (vii) to
discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees or Liens on the Collateral (except for such
Liens as are specifically permitted hereunder), and the Debtor agrees to reimburse the Lender on
demand for any payment made or any expense incurred by the Lender in connection therewith,
provided that this authorization shall not relieve the Debtor of any of its obligations
under this Security Agreement or under the Credit Agreement.
8.5 Specific Performance of Certain Covenants. The Debtor acknowledges and agrees
that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 4.1.5, 4.1.6, 4.4, 5.3, 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 or
the Lender to seek and obtain specific performance of other obligations of the Debtor contained in
this Security Agreement, that the covenants of the Debtor contained in the Sections referred to in
this Section 8.5 shall be specifically enforceable against the Debtor.
8.6 Use and Possession of Certain Premises. Upon the occurrence of a Default, the
Lender shall be entitled to occupy and use any premises owned or leased by the Debtor where any of
the Collateral or any records relating to the Collateral are located until the Secured Obligations
are paid or the Collateral is removed therefrom, whichever first occurs, without any obligation to
pay the Debtor for such use and occupancy.
8.7 Dispositions Not Authorized. The Debtor is not authorized to sell or otherwise
dispose of the Collateral except as set forth in Section 4.1.5 and notwithstanding any course of
dealing between the Debtor and the Lender or other conduct of the Lender, no authorization to
14
sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral (except as set forth in Section 4.1.5) shall be
binding upon the Lender unless such authorization is in writing signed by the Lender.
8.8 Benefit of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Security Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Debtor and the Lender and their respective
successors and assigns (including all persons who become bound as a debtor to this Security
Agreement), except that the Debtor shall not have the right to assign its rights or delegate its
obligations under this Security Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior written consent
of the Lender.
8.9 Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Debtor
contained in this Security Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security
Agreement.
8.10 Taxes and Expenses. Any taxes (including income taxes) payable or ruled payable
by Federal or State authority in respect of this Security Agreement shall be paid by the Debtor,
together with interest and penalties, if any. The Debtor shall reimburse the Lender for any and
all out-of-pocket expenses and internal charges (including reasonable attorneys’, auditors’ and
accountants’ fees and reasonable time charges of attorneys, paralegals, auditors and accountants
who may be employees of the Lender) paid or incurred by the Lender in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration, collection and enforcement of this Security
Agreement and in the audit, analysis, administration, collection, preservation or sale of the
Collateral (including the expenses and charges associated with any periodic or special audit of the
Collateral). Any and all costs and expenses incurred by the Debtor in the performance of actions
required pursuant to the terms hereof shall be borne solely by the Debtor.
8.11 Headings. The title of and section headings in this Security Agreement are for
convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the terms and
provisions of this Security Agreement.
8.12 Termination. This Security Agreement shall continue in effect (notwithstanding
the fact that from time to time there may be no Secured Obligations outstanding) until (i) the
Credit Agreement has terminated pursuant to its express terms and (ii) all of the Secured
Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and no commitments of the Lender
which would give rise to any Secured Obligations are outstanding.
8.13 Entire Agreement. This Security Agreement embodies the entire agreement and
understanding between the Debtor and the Lender relating to the Collateral and supersedes all prior
agreements and understandings between the Debtor and the Lender relating to the Collateral.
8.14 CHOICE OF LAW. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS (AND NOT THE LAW OF CONFLICTS) OF THE STATE OF ARIZONA, BUT
GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS.

8.15 Non-Borrower Provisions.
(a) All advances of principal under the Note shall be made to Borrower subject
to and in accordance with the terms thereof. It is not necessary for the Agent or
the Lenders to inquire into the powers of Borrower or the officers, directors,
partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf. Debtor is and shall
continue to be fully informed as to all aspects of the business affairs of Borrower
that it deems relevant to the risks it is assuming and hereby waives and fully
discharges the Agent and the Lenders from any and all obligations to communicate to
Debtor any facts of any nature whatsoever regarding Borrower and Borrower’s business
affairs.
(b) Debtor authorizes Lender, without notice or demand, without affecting the
obligations of Debtor hereunder or the personal liability of any person for payment
or performance of the Secured Obligations and without affecting the lien or the
priority of the security interest, from time to time, at the request of any person
primarily obligated therefor, to renew, compromise, extend, accelerate or otherwise
change the time for payment or performance of, or otherwise change the terms of, all
or any part of the Secured Obligations, including increase or decrease any rate of
interest thereon. Debtor waives and agrees not to assert: (i) any right to require
the Agent and the Lenders to proceed against Borrower; (ii) the benefits of any
statutory provision limiting the liability of a surety, including without limitation
the benefit of Section 12-1641, et seq., of the Arizona Revised
Statutes; and (iii) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense
of Borrower or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability
of Borrower. Debtor shall have no right of subrogation and hereby waives any right
to enforce any remedy which the Agent and the Lenders now have, or may hereafter
have, against Borrower.
