the L/C in an amount not to exceed the Maximum L/C Line Amount.

5

 

3.2 L/C Line of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in

against which the Issuing Bank shall issue the L/C, provided that the outstanding
amount of Advances under the L/C Line from time to time shall not exceed the
stated amount of the L/C at the time of such advance, and no Advance shall be made
for draws under the L/C on or after the Stated Expiration Date.

     (a) The obligations of Borrower to repay any amounts advanced under the L/C
shall be further evidenced by the L/C Note.

     (b) Advances under the L/C Line shall be made solely to fund Disbursements
under the L/C.

3.3 L/C Line Advances. Any Advances for draws on the L/C issued under the
L/C Line shall bear interest and be payable to Lender upon the following terms and
conditions:

     (a) Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal of the Advances outstanding
at the Daily Adjusting Libor Rate, except that during any period of time during
which, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Credit Agreement, the
Indebtedness evidenced by the L/C Note shall bear interest at the Base Rate.

          (i) If, at any time, Lender determines that, (a) Lender is unable to
determine or ascertain the Daily Adjusting Libor Rate, or (b) by reason of
circumstances affecting the foreign exchange and interLender markets generally,
deposits in eurodollars in the applicable amounts or for the relative maturities
are not being offered to Lender, or (c) the Daily Adjusting Libor Rate will not
accurately or fairly cover or reflect the cost to Lender of maintaining any of the
Indebtedness under the L/C Note at the Daily Adjusting Libor Rate, then Lender
shall forthwith give notice thereof to the undersigned. Thereafter, beginning on
the first day after the end of the then applicable LIBOR Interest Period and
continuing until Lender notifies the Borrower that such conditions or
circumstances no longer exist the Base Rate shall be the applicable interest rate
for all Indebtedness under the L/C Note during such period of time.

          (ii) If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any
applicable law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by Lender (or its LIBOR Lending Office) with
any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
authority, shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Lender (or its LIBOR
Lending Office) to make or maintain any Advance with interest at the Daily
Adjusting Libor Rate, Lender shall forthwith give notice thereof to the
undersigned. Thereafter, beginning on the first day after the end of the then
applicable LIBOR Interest Period and continuing until Lender notifies the
undersigned that such conditions or circumstances no longer exist the Base
Rate shall be the applicable interest rate for all Indebtedness evidenced by
the L/C Note during such period of time.

6

 

          (iii) At any time upon prior written notice to the undersigned, Lender may,
in its sole discretion, suspend the Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate as the applicable
interest rate and thereafter, beginning on the first day after the end of the then
applicable LIBOR Interest Period the Base Rate shall thereafter be the applicable
interest rate for all Indebtedness outstanding under the L/C Note, unless Lender
rescinds such notice, in which case, the Daily Adjusting Libor Rate shall, upon
written notice from Lender to the Borrower, again be the applicable interest rate
for all Indebtedness outstanding under the L/C Note.

     (b) All accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on each Interest
Payment Date.

     (c) The entire unpaid principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest, and
all other amounts payable under the L/C Note shall be due and payable in full on
the L/C Line Maturity Date.

     (d) If any payment of interest and/or principal is not received by Lender
within ten (10) days after such payment is due, then in addition to the remedies
conferred upon Lender under the Credit Documents, a late charge of five percent
(5%) of the amount of the installment due and unpaid will be added to the
delinquent amount to compensate Lender for the expense of handling the delinquency
for any such payment, regardless of any notice and cure period.

     (e) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time when such
Event of Default is continuing, the unpaid principal balance, all accrued and
unpaid interest and all other amounts payable hereunder shall bear interest at the
Default Rate.

3.4 Excess Balance Payment. Borrower shall immediately repay to Lender
any amounts by which the outstanding principal balance of the L/C Line exceeds the
Maximum L/C Line Amount.

3.5 Optional Prepayment. Provided that all matured interest and other
charges accrued to the date of prepayment are also paid in full, Borrower may, at
the option of Borrower, at any time and from time to time, prepay the principal
amount of any amounts Advanced against the L/C Line, in whole or in part, without
any prepayment premium or penalty. Notwithstanding any partial prepayment of
principal of amounts advanced under the L/C Line, there shall be no change in the
due date or the amount of any scheduled payment with respect to amounts advanced
under the L/C Line unless Lender, in its sole discretion, agrees in writing to
such change.

7

 

3.6 Non Use Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay a Non Use Fee equal to 0.25%
of the difference between the Maximum L/C Loan Amount and the outstanding amount
of all amounts drawn under the L/C, payable quarterly in arrears.

3.7 Other Advances under the L/C Line by Lender. Lender, to allow for
corrective action, at its option, without prior written notice to Borrower, from
time to time, may make Advances in any amount in payment of accrued and unpaid (i)
insurance premiums, taxes, assessments, liens or encumbrances existing against
property encumbered by the Security Documents, (ii) interest accrued and payable
on amounts Advanced under the L/C Line or any Loan, (iii) any charges and expenses
that are the obligation of Borrower under this Credit Agreement or any other
Credit Document, and (iv) any charges or matters necessary to preserve the
property encumbered by the Security Documents or to cure any still existing Event
of Default.

3.8 Assignment of Advance under L/C Line. Borrower shall have no right to
any Advance under the L/C Line other than Disbursements made to the beneficiary
thereof for draws under the L/C, which shall be disbursed by Lender in accordance
with the provisions of the L/C. Any assignment or transfer, voluntary or
involuntary, of this Credit Agreement or any right hereunder shall not be binding
upon or in any way affect Lender without its prior written consent; Lender may
make Advances under the L/C Line as set forth in this Credit Agreement and in the
L/C, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer.

3.9 Disbursements. The Issuing Bank will notify Borrower of the
presentment for payment of the L/C by the beneficiary thereof, together with
notice of the date such payment shall be made. Subject to the terms and
provisions of the L/C, the Issuing Bank shall make such payment (a “Disbursement”)
to Cobank. Each such Disbursement shall constitute an Advance made under the L/C
Line.

3.10 Reimbursement Obligations of Borrower. Borrower’s obligation
hereunder to reimburse Lender with respect to each Disbursement (including
interest thereon) made under the L/C shall be absolute and unconditional under any
and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim, or defense to
payment which Borrower may have or have had against Lender, the Issuing Bank, or
the beneficiary thereof, including any defense based upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default, any draft, demand or certificate or other document presented
under the L/C proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient, the
failure of any Disbursement to conform to the terms of the L/C (if, in Issuing
Bank’s good faith opinion, such Disbursement is determined to be appropriate), any
non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such
Disbursement, or the legality, validity, form, regularity or enforceability of the
L/C.

3.11 Nature of Reimbursement Obligations. Borrower shall assume all risks
of the acts, omissions or misuse of the L/C by the beneficiary thereof. Neither
Lender nor the Issuing Bank shall be responsible for:

8

 

     (a) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy,
genuineness or legal effect of the L/C or any document submitted by any
party in connection with the issuance thereof, even if such document
should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient,
inaccurate, fraudulent or forged;

     (b) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy,
genuineness or legal effect of any instrument transferring or assigning or
purporting to transfer or assign the L/C;

     (c) failure of CoBank to comply fully with conditions
required in order to demand payment under the L/C;

     (d) errors, omissions, interruption or delays in
transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex
or otherwise; or

     (e) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of
any document or draft required by or from CoBank in order to make a
Disbursement under the L/C or of the proceeds thereof.

None of the foregoing shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the
rights or powers granted Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder. In furtherance and
extension, and not in limitation or derogation of any of the foregoing, any action
taken or omitted to be taken by Lender or the Issuing Bank in good faith shall be
binding upon Borrower and shall not put the Lender or the Issuing Bank under any
resulting liability to Borrower.

Agreement, the Loan Documents and any other instruments referred to herein, constitute the entire
agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior
agreements and understandings, both written and oral, of the parties or any of them with respect to

COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGAINST ANY OF THE OTHERS OR THEIR SUCCESSORS
WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT

AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS OR EMPLOYEES OF ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY OF THEIR SUCCESSORS WITH
RESPECT TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT
CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR RELATED HERETO. THE WAIVER BY THE CREDIT PARTIES OF ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE
TO SEEK PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL AND INDIRECT DAMAGES HAS BEEN NEGOTIATED BY THE PARTIES
HERETO AND IS AN ESSENTIAL ASPECT OF THEIR BARGAIN.

     13. Ratification. To the extent that the terms of this Agreement and are in conflict
with the Loan Documents, this Agreement shall govern. All other provisions of the Loan Documents
shall remain in full force and effect and are incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 10.2

FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED

CASH COLLATERAL ACCOUNT AGREEMENT

     THIS FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED CASH COLLATERAL ACCOUNT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”),
dated as of January 14, 2009, is entered into by and between RENEGY HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware
corporation, (collectively, “Grantor” and “Borrower”) and COMERICA BANK, a Texas
corporation (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “Secured Party” or “Lender”).

WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, Lender has extended to Borrower a revolving line of credit facility in the principal
amount not to exceed $7,250,000.00 (the “RLC”), pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in
the Credit Agreement dated March 28, 2008, as modified by the First Modification to Credit
Agreement with Modifications to the Cash Collateral Account Agreement dated November 14, 2008 by
and between Borrower and Lender, as further modified by the Second Modification to Credit Agreement
with Modifications to the Non Revolving Line of Credit Promissory Note dated November 30, 2008 by
and between Borrower and Lender, as further modified by the Third Modification to Credit Agreement
with Modifications to the Non Revolving Line of Credit Promissory Note dated December 29, 2008 by
and between Borrower and Lender, and as further modified by the Fourth Modification to Credit
Agreement with Modifications to the Non Revolving Line of Credit Promissory Note (the “Fourth
Modification”) of even date herewith by and between Borrower and Lender (collectively the
“Credit Agreement”).

     WHEREAS, pursuant to the Fourth Modification, Grantor has, as of the date hereof, deposited
$7,250,000.00 to the Cash Collateral Account (as defined herein) maintained and operated by Grantor
with Secured Party, and/or as designated by Secured Party.

     WHEREAS, Secured Party has required as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the
Fourth Modification that Grantor execute this Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, promises, and agreements set forth
herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy, and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

     1. Additional Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement, but which are
not otherwise expressly defined in this Agreement, shall have the respective meanings given thereto
in the Credit Agreement. In addition, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

 

          “Cash Collateral Account”: A demand deposit account with Secured Party, Account No.
                    , or any successor deposit account operated and maintained by Grantor, and/or
approved by Secured Party. All references to the Cash Collateral Account shall include all
subaccounts and securities thereof and all securities accounts, if any, maintained in connection
therewith. All parties agree that the Account is a “deposit account” within the meaning of the
UCC.

          “Collateral”: As defined in Section 2 below.

          “Event of Default”: As defined in Section 8.

          “Secured Obligations”: As defined in Section 2.

          “UCC”: The Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Arizona.

     2. Security for Secured Obligations. To secure the payment and performance of the
Loan by the Grantor and any and all other obligations, contingent or otherwise, whether now
existing or hereafter arising, whether matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, direct or
indirect, absolute or contingent, joint or several, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter
arising of Grantor to Secured Party or to any of Secured Party’s subsidiaries or affiliates or
successors arising under or in connection with the Notes, including the Credit Agreement as the
same may from time to time be amended, modified, extended, renewed or restated (the “Secured
Obligations”), Grantor hereby sells, assigns, conveys, grants, pledges, hypothecates and
transfers to Secured Party a first-in-lien-priority continuing security interest in all of
Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the following property, in each case whether
certificated or uncertificated, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and
regardless of where located (all of the same, collectively, the “Collateral”):

          (a) the Cash Collateral Account and all cash, checks, drafts, documents, certificates,
certificates of deposit, passbooks, instruments and other amounts, if any, from time to time
deposited or held (whether by physical possession, book entry or otherwise) in and/or evidencing
the Cash Collateral Account, including, without limitation, all wire transfers made, or in the
process of being made, and all other deposits, to the Cash Collateral Account;

          (b) all interest, cash, instruments and other property from time to time held (whether by
physical possession, book entry or otherwise) in, received, receivable, or otherwise payable in
respect of, or in exchange for, any or all of the foregoing;

          (c) all present and future accounts, contract rights, chattel paper (whether tangible or
electronic), deposit accounts, documents, general intangibles (including, without limitation,
payment intangibles and software), goods, instruments (including, without limitation, promissory
notes), investment property, letter of credit rights, letters of credit, money, supporting
obligations (in each case as such terms are defined in the UCC), and any other rights and interests
pertaining to any of the foregoing, all documents, instruments or passbooks now or hereafter
evidencing the Cash Collateral Account, all replacements, substitutions, renewals, products or
proceeds of any of the foregoing, and all powers, options, rights, privileges and immunities
pertaining thereto (including the right to make withdrawals therefrom); and

2

 

          (d) to the extent not covered by clauses (a), (b), or (c) above, all
products and proceeds as defined under the UCC of any or all of the foregoing of every type.

     3. Warranties and Covenants. Grantor hereby warrants and represents to Secured Party,
and covenants and agrees with Secured Party as follows:

          (a) It is acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that Secured Party shall have sole and
exclusive possession and control of the Collateral and that this Agreement constitutes a present,
absolute and current assignment of all the Collateral and is effective upon the execution and
delivery hereof. Grantor acknowledges that this Agreement is an “authenticated” record and that
the arrangements established under this Agreement constitute “control” of the Cash Collateral
Account, as each of these terms is defined in Article 9 of the UCC.

          (b) Grantor is and shall remain the sole, lawful, beneficial and record owner of the
Collateral, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, claims, pledges, encumbrances, charges,
claims of third parties and rights of set-off or recoupment whatsoever (other than those in favor
of Secured Party hereunder), and Grantor has the full and complete right, power and authority to
pledge and grant a security interest in the Collateral in favor of Secured Party, in accordance
with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

          (c) This Agreement creates a valid and binding first-in-lien priority pledge and assignment of
and security interest in the Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Secured
Obligations. Grantor has not performed and will not perform any acts which might prevent Secured
Party from enforcing any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or which would limit Secured
Party in any such enforcement.

          (d) Grantor’s correct legal name, mailing address, and social security number are as set forth
on Exhibit A attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof. Grantor covenants
and agrees with Secured Party that Grantor shall not change any of the matters addressed by this
paragraph unless it has given Secured Party thirty (30) days prior written notice of any such
change and executed at the request of Secured Party or authorized the execution by Secured Party or
Secured Party’s counsel of such additional financing statements or other instruments to be filed in
such jurisdictions as Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable in its sole discretion to
prevent any filed financing statement from becoming misleading or losing its perfected status.

          (e) Grantor shall not transfer or permit the transfer of any of the Collateral to any other
person until the full satisfaction and performance of the Secured Obligations.

     4. General Covenants. Grantor covenants and agrees with Secured Party that so long as
any of the Secured Obligations are outstanding or have not been paid or performed:

          (a) Grantor, without the prior written consent of Secured Party, which consent may be withheld
by Secured Party in its sole and absolute discretion, shall not directly, indirectly or by
operation of law sell, transfer, assign, dispose of, pledge, convey, option, mortgage, hypothecate
or encumber any of the Collateral. 

3

 

          (b) Grantor shall at all times defend the Collateral against all claims and demands of all
persons at any time claiming any interest in the Collateral adverse to Secured Party’s interest in
the Collateral as granted hereunder.

          (c) Grantor shall pay all taxes and other charges against the Collateral to the extent due and
payable, shall not use the Collateral illegally, and shall not suffer to exist any loss, theft,
damage or destruction of the Collateral and shall suffer to exist no levy, seizure or attachment of
the Collateral.

          (d) Grantor authorizes Secured Party, its counsel or its representative, at any time and from
time to time, at the expense of Grantor, to execute and file any financing statements or financing
statement amendments or continuations, that describe or relate to the Collateral or any portion
thereof in such jurisdictions as Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable to perfect its
security interest in any of the Collateral and such financing statements may contain, among other
items as Secured Party may deem advisable to include therein, the social security numbers of
Grantor. Grantor will also obtain such waivers of lien, estoppel certificates, deposit account
control agreements or subordination agreements as Secured Party may require to insure the priority
of its security interest in the Collateral. Grantor shall also furnish to Secured Party such
evidence as it may reasonably require to confirm the value of the Collateral, and shall do anything
else Secured Party may reasonably require from time to time to establish a valid security interest
in and to further protect and perfect its security interest in the Collateral.

     5. Establishment, Operation, Maintenance, and Funding of Account and Direction.

          (a) Establishment of Deposit Account; Funding of Deposit Account. Grantor has
established, and continues to operate and maintain the Cash Collateral Account with Secured Party
and on or before the date hereof Grantor deposited $7,250,000 cash into such Cash Collateral
Account. The Cash Collateral Account is a deposit account pledged to Secured Party, and all funds
on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account shall bear interest only if and to the extent separately
agreed to by Secured Party, and Grantor. All funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account shall
be held by Secured Party free of any liens or claims on the part of creditors of the Grantor other
than Secured Party.

          (b) Direction. Grantor authorizes and directs Secured Party to comply with all
instructions given by Secured Party in accordance with this Agreement, including directing the
disposition of the Collateral or as to any other matter relating to the Cash Collateral Account,
without further consent of Grantor.

     6. Cash Collateral Account Access. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, Grantor shall not, without Secured Party’s consent, which may be withheld in
Secured Party’s sole and absolute discretion, be entitled to withdraw or direct the disposition of
funds from the Cash Collateral Account, or close, redesignate or move the Cash Collateral Account.

     7. Further Assurances. Grantor agrees that at any time, and from time to time, at the
expense of Grantor, Grantor will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and
documents, and take all further action, which Secured Party may reasonably deem necessary, or

4

 

which Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security
interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Secured Party to exercise and
enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral.

     8. Events of Default. An Event of Default (“Event of Default”) shall exist
hereunder upon the occurrence of any of the following:

          (a) any warranty or representation made by or on behalf of the Grantor in this Agreement
proves untrue or misleading in any material respect upon the date when made or deemed to have been
made or repeated; or

          (b) Grantor shall fail to duly and fully comply with any covenant, condition or agreement of
this Agreement; or

          (c) the occurrence of an event of default under the Note; or

          (d) any amendment to or termination of any financing statement in connection with the
Collateral naming Grantor as debtor and Secured Party as secured party, or any correction statement
with respect thereto, is filed in any jurisdiction by, or caused by, or at the instance of Grantor
without the prior written consent of Secured Party; or

          (e) any amendment to or termination of a financing statement in connection with the Collateral
naming Grantor as debtor and Secured Party as secured party, or any correction statement with
respect thereto, is filed in any jurisdiction by any party other than Secured Party or Secured
Party’s counsel without the prior written consent of Secured Party and the effect of such filing is
not completely nullified to the reasonable satisfaction of Secured Party within ten (10) days after
notice to Grantor thereof.

     9. Remedies.

          (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Secured Party, without limitation, may:

     (i) without notice to Grantor, except as required by law, and at any time or
from time to time, charge, set-off, and otherwise apply all or any part of the
Collateral against the Secured Obligations or any part thereof;

     (ii) in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, exercise any
and all rights and remedies available to it under this Agreement, and/or as a
secured party under the UCC; and

     (iii) demand, collect, take possession of, receipt for, settle, compromise,
adjust, sue for, foreclose, or otherwise realize upon the Collateral (or any portion
thereof) as Secured Party may determine in its sole discretion. 

          (b) Grantor hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, presentment,
demand, protest or any notice of any kind in connection with this Agreement or the Collateral
except as otherwise specifically provided herein or in the Note. Secured Party may take any action
deemed by Secured Party to be necessary or appropriate to the enforcement of

5

 

the rights and remedies of Secured Party under this Agreement and/or under the Note. The
remedies of Secured Party shall include, without limitation, all rights and remedies specified in
this Agreement and the Note, all remedies of Secured Party under applicable general or statutory
law, and the remedies of a secured party under the UCC as enacted in the State of Arizona,
regardless of whether the UCC has been enacted or enacted in that form in any other jurisdiction in
which such right or remedy is asserted. In addition to such other remedies as may exist from time
to time, whether by way of set-off, banker’s lien, consensual security interest or otherwise, upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, Secured Party is authorized at any time and from time to
time, without notice to or demand upon the Grantor (any such notice or demand being expressly
waived by the Grantor to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) to charge any and all
deposits held in the Cash Collateral Account or otherwise constituting the Collateral or any
portion thereof against any and all of the Secured Obligations, irrespective of whether or not
Secured Party shall have made any demand for payment and although the Secured Obligations may be
unmatured. Any notice required by law, including, but not limited to, notice of the intended
disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral, shall be reasonably and properly given in the
manner prescribed for the giving of notice herein, and, in the case of any notice of disposition,
if given at least ten (10) calendar days prior to such disposition. It is expressly understood and
agreed that Secured Party shall be entitled to dispose of the Collateral at any public or private
sale, without recourse to judicial proceedings and without either demand, appraisement,
advertisement or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, and that Secured Party shall be entitled to bid and purchase at any
such sale. In the event that Secured Party is the successful bidder at any public or private sale
of any note or other document or instrument evidencing Grantor’s right to receive the Collateral,
Secured Party shall be entitled to credit the amount bid by Secured Party against the obligations
evidenced by such note, document or instrument rather than the obligations evidenced by the Note.
To the extent the Collateral consists of marketable securities, Secured Party shall not be
obligated to sell such securities for the highest price obtainable, but shall sell them at the
market price available on the date of sale. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale
of the Collateral if it shall determine not to do so regardless of the fact that notice of sale of
the Collateral may have been given. Secured Party may, without notice or publication, adjourn any
public sale 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.
Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from claim or
right on the part of Grantor. In the event that any consent, approval or authorization of any
governmental agency or commission will be necessary to effectuate any such sale or sales, Grantor
shall execute all such applications or other instruments as Secured Party may deem reasonably
necessary to obtain such consent, approval or authorization. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Secured Party may notify any account debtor or obligor with respect to the Collateral to
make payment directly to Secured Party, and may demand, collect, receipt for, attach, levy, settle,
compromise, compound, recover, adjust, sue for, foreclose or realize upon the Collateral and take
any and all actions as Secured Party may deem necessary whether or not the Secured Obligations or
the Collateral are due, and for
the purpose of realizing Secured Party’s rights therein, including,
without limitation, making any statements and doing and taking any actions on behalf of Grantor
which are otherwise required of Grantor under the terms of any agreement as conditions precedent to
payment of the Collateral, as its attorney-in-fact. All acts of said power of attorney are hereby
ratified and approved and Secured Party shall not be liable for any mistake of law or fact made in
connection therewith unless resulting from Secured Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
This power of attorney is

6

 

 coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so long as any amounts remain unpaid on any
of the Secured Obligations. All remedies of Secured Party shall be cumulative to the full extent
provided by law, all without liability except to account for property actually received, but the
Secured Party shall have no duty to exercise such rights and shall not be responsible for any
failure to do so or delay in so doing and the Secured Party shall not be in any way responsible for
the preservation, maintenance, collection of or realizing upon the Collateral, or any portion
thereof or any of Grantor’s rights therein. Pursuit by Secured Party of certain judicial or other
remedies shall not abate nor bar other remedies with respect to the Secured Obligations or to other
portions of the Collateral. Secured Party may exercise its rights to the Collateral without
resorting or regard to other collateral or sources of security or reimbursement for the Secured
Obligations.

     10. Indemnification.

          (a) It is specifically understood and agreed that this Agreement shall not operate to place
any responsibility or obligation whatsoever upon Secured Party, and that in accepting this
Agreement, Secured Party neither assumes nor agrees to perform at any time whatsoever any
obligation or duty of Grantor relating to the Collateral or any other mortgage, indenture,
contract, agreement or instrument to which Grantor is a party or to which it is subject, all of
which obligations and duties shall be and remain with and upon Grantor.

          (b) Grantor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Secured Party, and its respective officers,
directors, and employees harmless for, from and against any and all claims, expenses, losses and
liabilities growing out of or resulting from this Agreement (including, without limitation,
enforcement of this Agreement) or acts taken or omitted by Secured Party hereunder or in connection
herewith, except claims, expenses, losses or liabilities arising from Secured Party’s fraud, gross
negligence or willful misconduct.

          (c) Grantor upon demand shall pay to Secured Party the amount of any and all reasonable
expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel actually
incurred (including those incurred in any appeal), and of any expert and court costs, which Secured
Party may incur in connection with (i) the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any
of the Collateral, (ii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Secured Party
hereunder, or (iii) the failure by Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof
beyond any applicable period for notice and cure.

     11. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of Secured Party, and the security
interests hereunder, and all of the obligations secured hereby, shall be absolute and
unconditional, irrespective of:

          (a) Any lack of validity or enforceability of the Note or any other agreement or instrument
relating thereto;

          (b) Any change in the time (including the extension of the maturity date of the Note), manner
or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations or any other
amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the terms of the Note;

7

 

          (c) Any exchange, release or nonperfection of any other collateral for the Secured
Obligations, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any of the Note
with respect to all or any part of the Secured Obligations; or

          (d) Any other circumstance (other than payment of the Secured Obligations in full) that might
otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Grantor or any third party for the
Secured Obligations or any part thereof.

     12. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement
nor consent to any departure therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in
writing and signed by Secured Party, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No delay or omission of Secured
Party to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall exhaust or
impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of
Default, or acquiescence therein; and every right, power and remedy given by this Agreement to
Secured Party may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Secured
Party. Failure on the part of Secured Party to complain of any act or failure to act which
constitutes an Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not
constitute a waiver by Secured Party of Secured Party’s rights hereunder or impair any rights,
powers or remedies consequent on any Event of Default. Grantor hereby waives to the extent
permitted by law all rights which Grantor has or may have under and by virtue of the Uniform
Commercial Code as enacted in the State of Arizona or in any other state, and any federal, state,
county or municipal statute, regulation, ordinance, Constitution or charter, now or hereafter
existing, similar in effect thereto providing any right of Grantor to notice and to a judicial
hearing prior to seizure by Secured Party of any of the Collateral. Grantor hereby waives and
renounces for itself, its successors and assigns, presentment, demand, protest, advertisement or
notice of any kind (except for any notice required by law) and all rights to the benefits of any
statute of limitations and any moratorium, reinstatement, marshaling, forbearance, valuation, stay,
extension, homestead, redemption and appraisement now provided or which may hereafter be provided
by the Constitution and laws of the United States and of any state thereof, both as to itself and

     20. Miscellaneous. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. Title or captions of
paragraphs hereof are for convenience only and neither limit nor amplify the provisions hereof.
References to a particular section refer to that section of this Agreement unless otherwise
indicated. If, for any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Agreement
shall involve transcending the limit of validity presently prescribed by applicable law, the
obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity; and if any clause or
provision herein operates or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Agreement, in whole or
in part, then such clause or provision only shall be held for naught, as though not herein
contained, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect.

     21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original. Said counterparts shall constitute but one and the same
instrument and shall be binding upon each of the undersigned individually as fully and completely
as if all had signed but one instrument so that the joint and several liability of each of the
undersigned hereunder shall be unaffected by the failure of any of the undersigned to execute any
or all of the said counterparts.
