Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute an assignment of
any asset which, in the event of an assignment, becomes void by operation of applicable law or the
assignment of which is otherwise prohibited by applicable law (in each case to the extent that such
applicable law is not overridden by Sections 9-406, 9-407 and/or 9-408 of the UCC or other similar
applicable law); provided, however, that to the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement
shall create a valid security interest in such asset and, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, this Agreement shall create a valid security interest in the proceeds of such asset.
(b) “Intellectual Property” means the collective reference to all rights, priorities
and privileges relating to intellectual property, whether arising under United States,
multinational or foreign laws or otherwise, including, without limitation, (i) all copyrights
arising under the laws of the United States, any other country or any political subdivision

States, any other country or any political subdivision thereof, (v) all rights to obtain any

Purchase Agreement, and the Note, and any other instruments, agreements or other documents executed
or delivered in connection herewith or with the Purchase Agreement or the Note, in each case,

contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, whether or not jointly owed with others, and whether or not
from time to time decreased or extinguished and later increased, created or incurred, and all or
any portion of such obligations or liabilities that are paid, to the extent all or any part of such
payment is avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from the Secured Party as a preference,
fraudulent transfer or otherwise as such obligations may be amended, supplemented, converted,
extended or modified from time to time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the term
“Obligations” shall include, without limitation: (i) principal of, and interest on the Note and the
loans extended pursuant thereto; (ii) any and all other fees, indemnities, costs, obligations and
liabilities of the Debtor from time to time under or in connection with this Agreement or the Note;
and (iii) all amounts (including but not limited to post-petition interest) in respect of the
foregoing that would be payable but for the fact that the obligations to pay such amounts are
unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar
proceeding involving Debtor.
(d) “Organizational Documents” means with respect to Debtor, the documents by which
Debtor was organized (such as a certificate of incorporation, certificate of limited partnership or
articles of organization, and including, without limitation, any certificates of designation for
preferred stock or other forms of preferred equity) and which relate to the internal governance of
Debtor (such as bylaws, a partnership agreement or an operating, limited liability or members
agreement).
(e) “UCC” means the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Arizona and or any other
applicable law of any state or states which has jurisdiction with respect to all, or any portion
of, the Collateral or this Agreement, from time to time. It is the intent of the parties that
defined terms in the UCC should be construed in their broadest sense so that the term “Collateral”
will be construed in its broadest sense. Accordingly if there are, from time to time, changes to
defined terms in the UCC that broaden the definitions, they are incorporated herein and if existing
definitions in the UCC are broader than the amended definitions, the existing ones shall be
controlling.
2. Grant of Security Interest. As an inducement for the Secured Party to extend the loans as evidenced by the Note and to
secure the complete and timely payment, performance and discharge in full, as the case may be, of all of the Obligations, Debtor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably pledges,
grants and hypothecates to the Secured Party a continuing security interest in and to, a lien upon
all of its right, title and interest of whatsoever kind and nature in
3
and to, the Collateral, subject to and junior in right to the security interests granted prior to the date of this
Agreement to existing creditors of the Company (the “Security Interest”).
3. Delivery of Certain Collateral. Contemporaneously or prior to the execution of this Agreement, Debtor shall deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Secured Party any and all certificates and other instruments or
documents representing any of the other Collateral.
4. Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements of the Debtor. Debtor represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the Secured Party as
follows:
(a) Debtor has the requisite corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other power
and authority to enter into this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder.
The execution, delivery and performance by Debtor of this Agreement and the filings contemplated
therein have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Debtor and no further
action is required by Debtor. This Agreement has been duly executed by Debtor. This Agreement
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Debtor, enforceable against Debtor in
accordance with its terms except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization and similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the
rights and remedies of creditors and by general principles of equity.
(b) The Debtor has no place of business or offices where its books of account and records are
kept (other than temporarily at the offices of its attorneys or accountants) or places where
Collateral is stored or located, except as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto.
(c) Except for Permitted Liens (as defined in the Note) and except as set forth on
Schedule B attached hereto, the Debtor is the sole owner of the Collateral (except for
non-exclusive licenses granted by Debtor in the ordinary course of business), free and clear of any
liens, security interests, encumbrances, rights or claims, and are fully authorized to grant the
Security Interest. Except as set forth on Schedule B, there is not on file in any
governmental or regulatory authority, agency or recording office an effective financing statement,
security agreement, license or transfer or any notice of any of the foregoing (other than those
that will be filed in favor of the Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement) covering or affecting
any of the Collateral.
(d) No written claim has been received that any Collateral or Debtor’s use of any Collateral
violates the rights of any third party. There has been no adverse decision to Debtor’s claim of
ownership rights in or exclusive rights to use the Collateral in any jurisdiction or to Debtor’s
right to keep and maintain such Collateral in full force and effect, and there is no proceeding
involving said rights pending or, to the best knowledge of Debtor, threatened before any court, judicial body, administrative or regulatory agency, arbitrator or other
governmental authority.
(e) Debtor shall at all times maintain its books of account and records relating to the
Collateral at its principal place of business and its Collateral at the locations set forth on
Schedule A and may not relocate such books of account and records or tangible Collateral
unless it delivers to the Secured Party at least 30 days prior to such relocation (i) written
notice of such
4
relocation and the new location thereof (which must be within the United States) and
(ii) evidence that appropriate financing statements under the UCC and other necessary documents
have been filed and recorded and other steps have been taken to create in favor of the Secured
Party a valid, continuing lien in the Collateral.
(f) This Agreement creates in favor of the Secured Party a valid security interest in the
Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens (as defined in the Note), securing the payment and
performance of the Obligations. Except for the filing of the Uniform Commercial Code financing
statements referred to in the immediately following paragraph, the recordation of the Intellectual
Property Security Agreement (as defined below) with respect to copyrights and copyright
applications in the United States Copyright Office referred to in paragraph (n), the execution and
delivery of deposit account control agreements satisfying the requirements of Section 9-104(a)(2)
of the UCC with respect to each deposit account of the Debtor, and the delivery of the certificates
and other instruments provided in Section 3, no action is necessary to create or protect the
security interests created hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except for
the filing of said financing statements, the recordation of said Intellectual Property Security
Agreement, the execution and delivery of said deposit account control agreements, and the Required
Approvals (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), no consent of any third parties and no
authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental
authority or regulatory body is required for (i) the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement, (ii) the creation of the Security Interests created hereunder in the Collateral or (iii)
the enforcement of the rights of the Secured Party hereunder.
(g) Debtor hereby authorizes the Secured Party to file one or more financing statements under
the UCC, with respect to the Security Interest with the proper filing and recording agencies in any
jurisdiction deemed proper by them.
(h) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Debtor does not (i)
violate any of the provisions of any Organizational Documents of Debtor or any judgment, decree,
order or award of any court, governmental body or arbitrator or any applicable law, rule or
regulation applicable to Debtor or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that
with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of
termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or
both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing Debtor’s debt or
otherwise) or other understanding to which Debtor is a party or by which any property or asset of
Debtor is bound or affected. Except for the Required Approvals, no consent (including, without
limitation, from stockholders or creditors of Debtor) is required for Debtor to enter into and
perform its obligations hereunder.
(i) Debtor shall at all times maintain the liens and Security Interest provided for hereunder
as valid liens and security interests in the Collateral in favor of the Secured Party until this
Agreement and the Security Interest hereunder shall be terminated pursuant to Section 12. Debtor
hereby agrees to defend the same against the claims of any and all persons and entities. Debtor
shall safeguard and protect all Collateral for the account of the Secured Party. At the request of
the Secured Party, Debtor will sign and deliver to the Secured Party at any time or from time to
time one or more financing statements pursuant to the UCC in form reasonably satisfactory to the
Secured Party and will pay the cost of filing the same in all public offices
5
wherever filing is, or
is deemed by the Secured Party to be, necessary or desirable to effect the rights and obligations
provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Debtor shall pay all fees,
taxes and other amounts necessary to maintain the Collateral and the Security Interest hereunder.
(j) Debtor will not transfer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, license, sell or otherwise
dispose of any of the Collateral (except for non-exclusive licenses granted by Debtor in its
ordinary course of business and sales of inventory by Debtor in its ordinary course of business)
without the prior written consent of the Secured Party, subject to the rights of the holders of
Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Note).

good condition, repair and order and shall not operate or locate any such Collateral (or cause to
be operated or located) in any area excluded from insurance coverage.
(l) Debtor shall maintain with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with
respect to the Collateral against loss or damage of the kinds and in the amounts customarily
insured against by entities of established reputation having similar properties similarly situated
and in such amounts as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by other such entities
and otherwise as is prudent for entities engaged in similar businesses but in any event sufficient
to cover the full replacement cost thereof.
(m) Debtor shall, within ten days of obtaining knowledge thereof, advise the Secured Party
promptly, in sufficient detail, of any substantial change in the Collateral, and of the occurrence
of any event which would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Collateral or on the
Secured Party’s security interest therein.
(n) Debtor shall promptly execute and deliver to the Secured Party such further deeds,
mortgages, assignments, security agreements, financing statements or other instruments, documents,
certificates and assurances and take such further action as the Secured Party may from time to time
request and may in its sole discretion deem necessary to protect or enforce its security interest
in the Collateral including, without limitation, if applicable, the execution and delivery of a
separate security agreement with respect to Debtor’s Intellectual Property (“Intellectual
Property Security Agreement”) in which the Secured Party has been granted a security interest
hereunder, substantially in a form acceptable to the Secured Party, which Intellectual Property
Security Agreement, other than as stated therein, shall be subject to all of the terms and
conditions hereof.

valid existence and good standing and any rights and franchises material to its business.
(t) Debtor will not change its name, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization,

add any new fictitious name unless it provides at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the
Secured Party of such change and, at the time of such written notification, Debtor provides any
financing statements or fixture filings necessary to continue the Security Interest granted and
evidenced by this Agreement.
(u) Debtor may not relocate its chief executive office to a new location without providing 30

all such further instruments and documents, and take all such further action as may be necessary or
desirable, or as the Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any

5. Defaults. The following events shall be “Events of Default”:
(a) The occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) under the Note;
(b) Any representation or warranty of Debtor in this Agreement shall prove to have been
incorrect in any material respect when made;
(c) The failure by Debtor to observe or perform any of its obligations hereunder for five days
after delivery to Debtor of notice of such failure by or on behalf of the Secured Party unless such
default is capable of cure but cannot be cured within such time frame and Debtor is using best
efforts to cure same in a timely fashion; or
(d) If any provision of this Agreement shall at any time for any reason be declared to be null
and void, or the validity or enforceability thereof shall be contested by Debtor, or a proceeding
shall be commenced by Debtor, or by any governmental authority having jurisdiction over Debtor,
seeking to establish the invalidity or unenforceability thereof, or Debtor shall deny that Debtor
has any liability or obligation purported to be created under this Agreement.
6. Duty To Hold In Trust. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, Debtor shall, upon
receipt of any revenue, income, dividend, interest or other sums subject to the Security Interest,
whether payable pursuant to the Note or otherwise, or of any check, draft, note, trade acceptance
or other instrument evidencing an obligation to pay any such sum, hold the same in trust for the
Secured Party and shall forthwith endorse and transfer any such sums or instruments, or both, to
the Secured Party for application to the satisfaction of the Obligations, subject to the rights of
the holders of Senior Indebtedness.
7. Rights and Remedies Upon Default.
(a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, the Secured Party
shall have the right to exercise all of the remedies conferred hereunder and
8
under the Note, and the Secured Party shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, subject
at all times to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness.
(b) The Secured Party may comply with any applicable law in connection with a disposition of
Collateral and such compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial
reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. The Secured Party may sell the Collateral without
giving any warranties and may specifically disclaim such warranties. If the Secured Party sells
any of the Collateral on credit, the Debtor will only be credited with payments actually made by
the purchaser. In addition, Debtor waives any and all rights it may have to a judicial hearing in
advance of the enforcement of any of the Secured Party’s rights and remedies hereunder, including,
without limitation, its right following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the
Collateral and to exercise its rights and remedies with respect thereto.
8. Applications of Proceeds. Subject at all times to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the proceeds of
any such sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral hereunder shall be applied first, to
the expenses of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale, selling, and the
like (including, without limitation, any taxes, fees and other costs incurred in connection
therewith) of the Collateral, to the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the
Secured Party in enforcing its rights hereunder and in connection with collecting, storing and
disposing of the Collateral, and then to satisfaction of the Obligations, and to the payment of any
other amounts required by applicable law, after which the Secured Party shall pay to the Debtor any
surplus proceeds. If, upon the sale, license or other disposition of the Collateral, the proceeds
thereof are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Party is legally entitled, the
Debtor will be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon, at the rate of 10% per
annum or the lesser amount permitted by applicable law (the “Default Rate”), and the reasonable
fees of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect such deficiency. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, Debtor waives all claims, damages and demands against the Secured
Party arising out of the repossession, removal, retention or sale of the Collateral, unless due
solely to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Party as determined by a final
judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction.
9. Costs and Expenses. Debtor agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred in
connection with any filing required hereunder, including without limitation, any financing
statements pursuant to the UCC, continuation statements, partial releases or termination statements
related thereto or any expenses of any searches reasonably required by the Secured Party. The
Debtor will also, upon demand, pay to the Secured Party the amount of any and all reasonable
expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents,
which the Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the enforcement of this Agreement, (ii)
the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of
the Collateral, or (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured Party
under the Note. Until so paid, any fees payable hereunder shall be added to the principal amount
of the Note and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
10. Responsibility for Collateral. The Debtor assumes all liabilities and responsibility in connection with all Collateral,
and the Obligations shall in no way be affected or
9
diminished by reason of the loss, destruction,
damage or theft of any of the Collateral or its unavailability for any reason. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Secured Party (i) has no duty (either before or after an
Event of Default) to collect any amounts in respect of the Collateral or to preserve any rights
relating to the Collateral, or (ii) has no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the
Collateral for sale, and (b) Debtor shall remain obligated and liable under each contract or
agreement included in the Collateral to be observed or performed by Debtor thereunder. The Secured
Party shall not have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of
or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Secured Party of any payment relating to any
of the Collateral, nor shall the Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the
obligations of Debtor under or pursuant to any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to
the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Secured Party in respect of the Collateral
or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or agreement, to
present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment
of any amounts which may have been assigned to the Secured Party or to which the Secured Party may
be entitled at any time or times.
11. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Secured Party and all obligations of the Debtor hereunder, shall be
absolute and unconditional, irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this
Agreement, the Note or any agreement entered into in connection with the foregoing, or any portion
hereof or thereof; (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment or performance of, or in
any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any
consent to any departure from the Note or any other agreement entered into in connection with the
foregoing; (c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any of the Collateral, or any release or
amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other collateral for, or any other security, for all or any of the Obligations; (d) any action by the Secured Party to
obtain, adjust, settle and cancel in its sole discretion any insurance claims or matters made or
arising in connection with the Collateral; or (e) any other circumstance which might otherwise
constitute any legal or equitable defense available to Debtor, or a discharge of all or any part of
the Security Interest granted hereby. Until the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in
full, the rights of the Secured Party shall continue even if the Obligations are barred for any
reason, including, without limitation, the running of the statute of limitations or bankruptcy.
Debtor expressly waives presentment, protest, notice of protest, demand, notice of nonpayment and
demand for performance. In the event that at any time any transfer of any Collateral or any
payment received by the Secured Party hereunder shall be deemed by final order of a court of
competent jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under the
bankruptcy or insolvency laws of the United States, or shall be deemed to be otherwise due to any
party other than the Secured Party, then, in any such event, Debtor’s obligations hereunder shall
survive cancellation of this Agreement, and shall not be discharged or satisfied by any prior
payment thereof and/or cancellation of this Agreement, but shall remain a valid and binding
obligation enforceable in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. Debtor waives all right
to require the Secured Party to proceed against any other person or entity or to apply any
Collateral which the Secured Party may hold at any time, or to marshal assets, or to pursue any
other remedy. Debtor waives any defense arising by reason of the application of the statute of
limitations to any obligation secured hereby.
10
12. Term of Agreement. This Agreement and the Security Interest shall terminate on the date on which all payments
under the Note has been paid in full and all other Obligations have been paid or discharged.
13. Further Assurances. On a continuing basis, Debtor will make, execute, acknowledge, deliver, file and record, as
the case may be, with the proper filing and recording agencies in any jurisdiction, including,
without limitation, the jurisdictions indicated on Schedule A, all such instruments, and
take all such action as may reasonably be deemed necessary or advisable, or as reasonably requested
by the Secured Party, to perfect the Security Interest granted hereunder and otherwise to carry out
the intent and purposes of this Agreement, or for assuring and confirming to the Secured Party the
grant of a security interest in all the Collateral under the UCC.
14. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be subject to the
notice provision of the Purchase Agreement.
15. Other Security. To the extent that the Obligations are now or hereafter secured by property other than the
Collateral, then the Secured Party shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to pursue,
relinquish, subordinate, modify or take any other action with respect thereto, without in any way
modifying or affecting any of the Secured Party’s rights and remedies hereunder.
16. Miscellaneous.
(a) No course of dealing between the Debtor and the Secured Party, nor any failure to
exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Secured Party, any right, power or
privilege hereunder or under the Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
(b) All of the rights and remedies of the Secured Party with respect to the Collateral,
whether established hereby or by the Note or by any other agreements, instruments or documents or
by law shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently.
(c) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and is intended to supersede all prior negotiations, understandings and agreements
with respect thereto. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, no provision of this
Agreement may be modified or amended except by a written agreement specifically referring to this
Agreement and signed by the parties hereto.
(d) In the event any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction for any reason, unless such provision is narrowed by judicial
construction, this Agreement shall, as to such jurisdiction, be construed as if such invalid,
