and having any other party, other than the Secured Party or Whitebox Convertible Arbitrage

the states and at the address, as identified on Exhibit A attached hereto. The Debtor will not
permit any tangible Collateral to be located in any state (and, if county filing is required, in

affixed to any real property without first assuring to the reasonable satisfaction of the Secured
Party that the Security Interest will be prior and senior to any Lien then held or thereafter
acquired by any mortgagee of such real property or the owner or purchaser of any interest therein.
If any part or all of the tangible Collateral is now or will become so related to particular real
estate as to be a fixture, the real estate concerned and the name of the record owner are
accurately set forth in Exhibit B hereto.
-4-
(f) Rights to Payment. Each right to payment and each instrument, document, chattel paper and
other agreement constituting or evidencing Collateral is (or will be when arising, issued or
assigned to the Secured Party) the valid, genuine and legally enforceable obligation, subject to no
defense, setoff or counterclaim (other than those arising in the ordinary course of business), of
the account debtor or other obligor named therein or in the Debtor’s records pertaining thereto as
being obligated to pay such obligation. The Debtor will neither agree to any material modification
or amendment nor agree to any forbearance, release or cancellation of any such obligation, and will
not subordinate any such right to payment to claims of other creditors of such account debtor or
other obligor.

Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as the case may be, applicable to such documents and none of
such documents contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact

circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(i) Investment Company Act. The Debtor is not, nor are any of its subsidiaries, required to
register under the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Neither the
entering into or performance by the Debtor of this Agreement, nor the execution, delivery and
performance of the obligations by the Debtor under the Guaranty, this Agreement or any other
agreement between the Debtor and the Secured Party or by the Debtor in favor of the Secured Party,

approval, or authorization of, or registration with, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any
other governmental or public body of authority.

accordance with GAAP, during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such
financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to
the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present
in all material respects the financial position of the Debtor as of the dates thereof and the

aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect, or (iv) is a party to any contract, agreement or

Secured Party gives the Debtor written notice thereof (or, in the case of the agreements contained
in clauses (vi) and (xi) of Section 3(m), immediately upon the occurrence of such failure, without
notice or lapse of time), the Secured Party may (but need not) perform or observe such agreement on
behalf and in the name, place and stead of the Debtor (or, at the Secured Party’s option, in the
Secured Party’s own name) and may (but need not) take any and all other actions which the Secured
Party may reasonably deem necessary to cure or correct such failure (including, without limitation
the payment of taxes, the satisfaction of security interests, liens, or encumbrances, the
performance of obligations under contracts or agreements with account debtors or other obligors,
the procurement and maintenance of insurance, the execution of financing statements, the
endorsement of instruments, the qualification and licensing of the Debtor to do business in any
jurisdiction, and the procurement of repairs or transportation); and, except to the extent that the
effect of such payment would be to render any loan or forbearance of money usurious or otherwise
illegal under any applicable law, the Debtor shall thereupon pay the Secured Party on demand the
amount of all moneys expended and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees)
incurred by the Secured Party in connection with or as a result of the Secured Party’s performing
or observing such agreements or taking such actions, together with interest thereon from the date
expended or incurred by the Secured Party at the highest rate then applicable to any of the
Obligations. To facilitate the performance or observance by the Secured Party of such agreements
of the Debtor, the Debtor hereby
irrevocably appoints (which appointment is coupled with an interest) the Secured Party, or its
delegate, as the attorney-in-fact of the Debtor with the right (but not the duty) from time to time
to create, prepare, complete, execute, deliver, endorse or file, in the name and on behalf of the
Debtor, any and all instruments, documents, financing statements, applications for insurance and
other agreements and writings required to be obtained, executed, delivered or endorsed by the
Debtor under this Section 3 and Section 4.

4. Rights of Secured Party. At any time and from time to time, whether before or after an
Event of Default, the Secured Party may take any or all of the following actions:

require the Debtor to send requests for verification of accounts or notices of assignment to
account debtors and other obligors. The Secured Party may also at any time and from time to time
telephone account debtors and other obligors to verify accounts.
(b) Collateral Account. The Secured Party may establish a collateral account for the deposit
of checks, drafts and cash payments made by the Debtor’s account debtors. If a collateral account
is so established, the Debtor shall promptly deliver to the Secured Party, for deposit into said
collateral account, all payments on Accounts and chattel paper received by it. All such payments
shall be delivered to the Secured Party in the form received (except for the Debtor’s endorsement
where necessary). Until so deposited, all payments on Accounts and chattel paper received by the
Debtor shall be held in trust by the Debtor for and as the property of the Secured Party and shall
not be commingled with any funds or property of the Debtor. All deposits in said collateral
account shall constitute proceeds of Collateral and shall not constitute payment of any Obligation.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Debtor shall have no right to withdraw amounts on deposit
in any collateral account.
(c) Lockbox. The Secured Party may, by notice to the Debtor, require the Debtor to direct
each of its account debtors to make payment directly to a special lockbox to be under the control
of the Secured Party. The Debtor hereby authorizes and directs the Secured Party to deposit all
checks, drafts and cash payments received in said lockbox into the collateral account established
as set forth above.
(d) Direct Collection. After an Event of Default, the Secured Party may notify any account
debtor, or any other Person obligated to pay any amount due, that such chattel paper, Account, or
other right to payment has been assigned or transferred to the Secured Party for security and shall
be paid directly to the Secured Party. At any time after the Secured Party or the Debtor gives
such notice to an account debtor or other obligor, the Secured Party may (but need not), in its own
name or in the Debtor’s name, demand, xxx for, collect or receive any money or property at any time
payable or receivable on account of, or securing, any such chattel paper, Account, or other right
to payment, or grant any extension to, make any compromise or settlement with or otherwise agree to
waive, modify, amend or change the obligations (including collateral obligations) of any such
account debtor or other obligor.
5. Assignment of Insurance. The Debtor hereby assigns to the Secured Party, as additional
security for the payment of the Obligations, any and all moneys (including but not limited to
proceeds of insurance and refunds of unearned premiums) due or to become due under, and all other
rights of the Debtor under or with respect to, any and all policies of insurance covering the
Collateral, and the Debtor hereby directs the issuer of any such policy to pay any such moneys
directly to the Secured Party. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Secured Party may
(but need not), in its own name or in the Debtor’s name, execute and deliver proofs of claim,
receive all such moneys, endorse checks and other instruments representing payment of such moneys,
and adjust, litigate, compromise or release any claim against the issuer of any such policy.
-9-
6. Events of Default. Each of the following occurrences shall constitute an event of
default under this Agreement (herein called “Event of Default”): (i) an Event of Default shall
occur under the Credit Agreement; or (ii) the Debtor shall fail to pay any or all of the
Obligations when due or (if payable on demand) on demand; (iii) the Debtor shall fail to observe or
perform any covenant or agreement binding on it herein, in the Guaranty or in any other agreement
between the Debtor and the Secured Party or by the Debtor in favor of the Secured Party; or (iv)
Debtor shall take or participate in any action which would be prohibited under the provisions of
any Subordination Agreement or make any payment on the Subordinated Indebtedness (as such term or
any similar term is defined in any Subordination Agreement) that any Person was not entitled to
receive under the provisions of such Subordination Agreement.
7. Remedies upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any
time thereafter, the Secured Party may exercise any one or more of the following rights and
remedies: (i) declare all unmatured Obligations to be immediately due and payable, and the same
shall thereupon be immediately due and payable, without presentment or other notice or demand;
(ii) exercise and enforce any or all rights and remedies available upon default to a secured party
under the UCC, including but not limited to the right to take possession of any Collateral,
proceeding without judicial process or by judicial process (without a prior hearing or notice
thereof, which the Debtor hereby expressly waives), and the right to sell, lease or otherwise
dispose of any or all of the Collateral, and in connection therewith, the Secured Party may require
the Debtor to make the Collateral available to the Secured Party at a place to be designated by the
Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to both parties, and if notice to the Debtor of any
intended disposition of Collateral or any other intended action is required by law in a particular
instance, such notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable if given (in the manner specified in
Section 9) at least ten (10) days prior to the date of intended disposition or other action;
(iii) exercise or enforce any or all other rights or remedies available to the Secured Party by law
or agreement against the Collateral, against the Debtor or against any other Person or property.

otherwise exploit all Intellectual Property Rights owned by or licensed to the Debtor that the
Secured Party deems necessary or appropriate to the disposition of any Collateral.
8. Other Personal Property. Unless at the time the Secured Party takes possession of any
tangible Collateral, or within seven days thereafter, the Debtor gives written notice to the
Secured Party of the existence of any goods, papers or other property of the Debtor, not affixed to
or constituting a part of such Collateral, but which are located or found upon or within such
Collateral, describing such property, the Secured Party shall not be responsible or liable to the
Debtor for any action taken or omitted by or on behalf of the Secured Party with respect to such
property.

addressed or telecopied to the party to whom notice is being given at its address or telecopier
number as set forth below its signature or, as to each party, at such other address or telecopier
number as may hereafter be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party
complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section. All such notices, requests, demands and
other communications shall be deemed to have been given on (i) the date received if personally
delivered, (ii) when deposited in the mail if delivered by mail, (iii) the date sent if sent by
overnight courier, or (iv) the date of transmission if delivered by telecopy. All requests under

Secured Party and (iv) shall otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 9-210. The Debtor
requests that the Secured Party respond to all such requests which on their face appear to come
from an authorized individual and releases the Secured Party from any liability for so responding.
The Debtor shall pay Secured Party the maximum amount allowed by law for responding to such
requests.
10. Miscellaneous. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary
corporate action. This Agreement does not contemplate a sale of accounts, or chattel paper. This
Agreement can be waived, modified, amended, terminated or discharged, and the Security Interest can
be released, only explicitly in a writing signed by the Secured Party, and, in the case of
amendment or modification, in a writing signed by the Debtor. A waiver signed by the Secured Party
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. Mere delay or
failure to act shall not preclude the exercise or enforcement of any of the Secured Party’s rights
or remedies. All rights and remedies of the Secured Party shall be cumulative and may be exercised
singularly or concurrently, at the Secured Party’s option, and the exercise or enforcement of any
one such right or remedy shall neither be a condition to nor bar the exercise or enforcement of any
other. The Secured Party’s duty of care with respect to Collateral in its possession (as imposed
by law) shall be deemed fulfilled if the Secured Party exercises reasonable care in physically
safekeeping such Collateral or, in the case of Collateral in the custody or possession of a bailee
or other third person, exercises reasonable care in the selection of the bailee or other third
person, and the Secured Party need not otherwise preserve, protect, insure or care for any
Collateral. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to preserve any rights the Debtor may have
against prior parties, to realize on the Collateral at all or in any particular manner or order, or
to apply any cash proceeds of Collateral in any particular order of application. This Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Debtor and the Secured Party and their
respective successors and assigns and shall take effect when signed by the Debtor and delivered to
the Secured Party, and the Debtor waives notice of the Secured Party’s acceptance hereof. The
Secured Party may execute this Agreement if appropriate for the purpose of filing, but the failure
of the Secured Party to execute this Agreement shall not affect or impair the validity or
effectiveness of this Agreement. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or
of any financing statement signed by the Debtor shall have the same force and effect as the
original for all purposes of a financing statement. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the substantive laws (other than conflict laws) of the State of
Colorado. If any provision or application of this Agreement is held unlawful or unenforceable in
any respect, such illegality or unenforceability shall not affect other provisions or applications
which can be given effect and this Agreement shall be construed as if the unlawful or unenforceable
provision or application had never been contained herein or prescribed hereby. All representations
and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement and the creation and payment of the Obligations.

The parties hereto hereby (i) consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and
federal courts located in the State of Colorado in connection with any controversy related to this

any litigation initiated by the Secured Party or the Debtor in connection with this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents may be venued in either the state or federal courts located in the City
and County of Denver, Colorado; and (iv) agree that a final judgment in any such suit, action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment
