1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
September 9, 2026,
SKYX Platforms Corp. (the “Company”), Lumineer Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company (“Merger Sub”), Deako, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Deako”), and WT Representative LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company, as the Securityholders’ Representative, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger
Agreement”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, subject to satisfaction of customary conditions, Merger Sub will merge with
and into Deako, with Deako surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Deako is an
AI smart
home and lighting
systems company based in Seattle, Washington. Deako’s core product is a modular plug and play smart
home and light switch system, including smart
switches, and AI intelligence that
enables homeowners to personalize their lighting without an electrician.
As
consideration for the Merger, the Company will issue 18.46% of the Company’s outstanding shares totaling 25,000,000 shares
of the Company’s common stock, no par value per share (the “Merger Shares”), which will be subject to a 12 month
lock up, with 25% of the Merger Shares being released from such transfer restrictions on each of the dates that are 12 months, 15
months, 18 months, and 21 months after the closing date of the Merger, and will be held in escrow on behalf of certain senior lenders
of Deako (the “Senior Lenders”). The Senior Lenders have agreed to sell the Merger Shares pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading
plan. Following the receipt of sale proceeds by the Senior Lenders and payment of certain expenses, fees, and indemnification claims,
any remaining Merger Shares, if any, will be distributed to the pre-Merger securityholders of Deako.
In addition, the Company has paid
or will pay to the Senior Lenders, on behalf of Deako, an aggregate of $4,000,000 in cash, of which $2,000,000 was paid upon signing
of the Merger Agreement and $2,000,000 is payable upon closing of the Merger, and will deliver to the Senior Lenders senior secured promissory
notes in an aggregate principal amount of $8,500,000, of which $2,250,000 will be due on the 120th day following the closing date of
the Merger and the remaining amount will be due on the 12 month anniversary of the closing date of the Merger. The note is secured by
the Company’s personal property and will bear interest at a rate of 12.0% per annum.
The
Merger Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, indemnification provisions, covenants, conditions and other agreements,
including conduct-of-business restrictions during the period between signing and closing, certain registration rights relating to the
Merger Shares, and non-solicitation provisions limiting Deako from seeking or engaging in alternative acquisition proposals. The Merger
Agreement also contains certain customary termination rights, including termination by either party if the conditions to closing the
Merger Agreement have not been met or waived by October 31, 2026. In addition, the Company will be repaid for the $2,000,000 cash payment
made to the Senior Lenders at signing if the Merger does not close in certain circumstances, including
due to Deako’s material breach of the Merger Agreement.
The obligations of the parties to complete the Merger are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including
approval of the Merger Agreement by Deako’s securityholders. In connection with closing of the Merger, the Company has also agreed
to enter into an employment agreement with the Chief Executive Officer of Deako.
The
foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement, the promissory note and other Merger-related documents does not purport to be complete
and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Merger Agreement and the form of promissory
note, a copy of each of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 and Exhibit 10.1
to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) and is incorporated herein by reference.
The
Merger Agreement has been included with this Current Report to provide investors and security holders with information regarding the
terms of the Merger. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, Deako, or any of the other parties
to the Merger or the consideration to be paid in the Merger or such Merger Agreement. The representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements contained in the Merger Agreement, which are made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement and as of specific dates, are
solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties (including being
qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the applicable agreement
instead of establishing these matters as facts) and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties
that differ from those applicable to investors and security holders. Company investors and security holders should not rely on the representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the
Company, Deako, or any of the other parties to the Merger. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations
and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the
Company’s public disclosures.

Article
III
CONVERSION
OF CAPITAL STOCK; MERGER CONSIDERATION
3.01
Effects of the Merger on the Company Capital Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective
Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, or the holders of any shares of
Company Capital Stock or shares of capital stock of Merger Sub:
(a)
Cancellation of Treasury Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time that is owned by the Company (as treasury stock or otherwise) automatically shall be cancelled and extinguished,
without any conversion thereof nor payment or distribution made with respect thereto.
(b)
Company Preferred Stock. Each share of Company Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time
(other than a share held in the Company’s treasury or a Dissenting Share) automatically shall be converted into the right to receive
such holder’s pro rata share of the Residual in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. The portion of the Residual allocable to
each share of Company Preferred Stock shall be determined on a per share basis in accordance with the liquidation preferences, participation
rights, conversion rights and other distribution priorities applicable to each series of Company Preferred Stock as set forth in the
Pre-Closing Certificate of Incorporation, applied as if the aggregate value of the Residual (determined by reference to the Reference
Price) constituted the total assets of the Company legally available for distribution to the holders of Company Capital Stock in a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company, with each share of Company Preferred Stock receiving the greater of (A) its applicable per
share liquidation preference amount (plus any declared but unpaid dividends thereon) as set forth in the Pre-Closing Certificate of Incorporation
and (B) the amount such share would receive on an as-converted-to-Company Common Stock basis, in each case as a proportion of the aggregate
value of the Residual. The Consideration Spreadsheet shall set forth the application of the foregoing formula to each holder of Company
Preferred Stock.
16
(c)
Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time (other than a treasury share cancelled pursuant to Section 3.01(a) and a Dissenting Share) automatically
shall be cancelled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive the following, as applicable:
(i)
Accredited Holders. With respect to each share of Company Common Stock held by a Company Stockholder who is an Accredited Holder,
such share shall be converted into the right to receive such holder’s pro rata share of the Residual allocable to the Company Common
Stock in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. The portion of the Residual allocable to each share of Company Common Stock shall be determined
on a per share basis by dividing (A) the aggregate value of the Residual (determined by reference to the Reference Price) remaining after
the distribution of the liquidation preferences applicable to the Company Preferred Stock in accordance with the Pre-Closing Certificate
of Incorporation (or, if the holders of Company Preferred Stock participate on an as-converted basis, after giving effect to such conversion)
by (B) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including, for the avoidance
of doubt, shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Company Preferred Stock to the extent participating on an as-converted
basis in accordance with the Pre-Closing Certificate of Incorporation), and allocating the resulting per share amount to each share of
Company Common Stock. The Consideration Spreadsheet shall set forth the application of the foregoing formula to each Accredited Holder.
(ii)
Non-Accredited Holders. With respect to each share of Company Common Stock held by a Company Stockholder who is a Non-Accredited
Holder, such share shall be cancelled and extinguished at the Effective Time and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash
equal to such Non-Accredited Holder’s Pro Rata Non-Accredited Share of the Non-Accredited Holder Cash Pool. The determination of
Non-Accredited Holders and the calculation of each Non-Accredited Holder’s Pro Rata Non-Accredited Share shall be made as of the
date the final Consideration Spreadsheet is delivered pursuant to Section 3.06 and shall be reflected on such final Consideration
Spreadsheet. The payment of the applicable portion of the Non-Accredited Holder Cash Pool shall be in full satisfaction of all rights
of such Non-Accredited Holder in respect of such Non-Accredited Holder’s shares of Company Common Stock.
(d)
Abandoning Stockholders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.01, any holder of Company Common
Stock or Company Preferred Stock may elect, by delivering a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal to the Company prior to
the Effective Time indicating such holder’s election to abandon all (and not less than all) of such holder’s shares of Company
Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock, as applicable (each such election, an “Abandonment Election,” and
each such holder, an “Abandoning Stockholder”), to have all of such holder’s shares of Company Common
Stock or Company Preferred Stock, as applicable, cancelled and extinguished at the Effective Time in exchange for an aggregate cash payment
of one dollar ($1.00) per holder (the “Abandonment Consideration”), in lieu of any portion of the Residual,
Non-Accredited Holder Cash Pool proceeds or any other consideration otherwise payable in respect of such shares pursuant to this Agreement.
No Abandoning Stockholder shall be entitled to receive any portion of the Residual, Sale Proceeds or any other consideration in respect
of the abandoned shares. The payment of the Abandonment Consideration shall be in full satisfaction of all rights of such Abandoning
Stockholder in respect of such Abandoning Stockholder’s shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock, as applicable.
For the avoidance of doubt, an Abandonment Election shall be irrevocable upon delivery of the Letter of Transmittal and no Abandoning
Stockholder may make an Abandonment Election with respect to less than all shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock
held by such holder immediately prior to the Effective Time.
(e)
Common Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become as of the Effective Time one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable
share of common stock, par value $0.001, of the Surviving Corporation.
17
3.02
Company Options. The Company shall take all lawful action so that:
(a)
Non-Accredited Holder. At the Effective Time, each Company Option that is held by a Non-Accredited Holder and that is outstanding
and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished at the Effective Time for no consideration,
and no Non-Accredited Holder shall be entitled to receive any portion of the Residual, cash, securities or other property in respect
of such Company Option. For the avoidance of doubt, no portion of the Residual shall be allocated, issued, distributed or otherwise payable
to any Non-Accredited Holder in respect of any share of Company Option held by such Non-Accredited Holder.
(b)
Accredited Holder. At the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, that
is vested and unexercised, and that is held by an Accredited Holder, shall be exchanged for the right to receive the number of shares
of Company Capital Stock deemed issuable upon a net settlement of such Company Option pursuant to, and in accordance with, an option
cancellation agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (each, an “Option Cancellation Agreement”).
For this purpose, the number of shares of Company Capital Stock deemed issuable upon such net settlement shall be determined based on
the excess of the Common Per Share Residual Value over the applicable exercise price of such Company Option, multiplied by the number
of shares of Company Capital Stock subject to such Company Option, divided by the Common Per Share Residual Value, and the resulting
number of deemed shares shall receive the allocation applicable to such shares under Section 3.01(b) or Section 3.01(c),
as applicable; provided, however, that if it should be determined that any payment or benefit to any such Accredited Holder, including
but not limited to any Company Capital Stock otherwise issuable to any such Accredited Holder pursuant to this Section 3.02(b),
whether paid or provided pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (collectively, the “Total Payments”), would
be a “parachute payment” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code), then the number of shares of Company Capital Stock
otherwise issuable to such Accredited Holder pursuant to this Section 3.02(b) shall be reduced to the greatest number of
shares of Company Capital Stock such that the value of the Total Payments (including the reduced number of shares of Company Capital
Stock) to such Accredited Holder does not exceed the maximum value that could be paid or provided to such Accredited Holder without giving
rise to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, with any such determination and all related calculations to be made by a national
accounting, valuation firm or law firm selected by Parent, and with the costs of such accounting firm, valuation firm or law firm to
be paid by Parent. Any Company Option with an exercise price per share equal to or greater than the Common Per Share Residual Value on
the Determination Date shall be cancelled and extinguished for no consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the holder of a Company
Option receives a payment under the Retention Plan, any distribution of Residual to such holder in respect of the Company Option shall
be reduced by the amount of such payment under the Retention Plan.
3.03
Company Warrants The Company shall take all lawful action so that, at the Effective Time, each Company Warrant shall be
exchanged for the right to receive such holder’s pro rata share of the Residual pursuant to, and in accordance with, a warrant
cancellation agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (each, a “Warrant Cancellation Agreement”).
The portion of the Residual allocable to each such Company Warrant shall be determined on a per share basis by first calculating the
number of shares of Company Capital Stock issuable upon a net exercise of such Company Warrant (based on the Common Per Share Residual
Value) in accordance with the terms of such Company Warrant, and then applying the per share allocation formula set forth in Section
3.01(b) or Section 3.01(c), as applicable, to the shares of Company Capital Stock deemed issued upon such net exercise.
The Consideration Spreadsheet shall set forth the application of the foregoing formula to each such holder of Company Warrants.
3.04
Dissenting Shares.
(a)
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock that are
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, the holders of which have neither voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto
in writing pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL and who have properly demanded their rights to appraisal in accordance with Section 262
of the DGCL (such shares, collectively, “Dissenting Shares” and each, a “Dissenting Share”)
shall not be converted into the right to receive the consideration provided in Section 3.01(c) or Section 3.01(b),
respectively, but instead shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL. At the Effective Time, all
Dissenting Shares shall be cancelled and cease to exist and shall represent only those rights provided by Section 262 of the DGCL. If,
after the Effective Time, any holder of a Dissenting Share withdraws, loses, or fails to perfect such holder’s rights to appraisal,
then such Dissenting Share shall be treated as if it had been converted as of the Effective Time pursuant to Section 3.01(c)
or Section 3.01(b), as applicable.
18
(b)
The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any
other instruments served on the Company relating to Company Stockholders’ rights of appraisal pursuant to the DGCL. The Company
shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, offer
to settle or settle any such demands, or waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or otherwise comply with
the requirements of the DGCL.
3.05
Issuance of the SKYX Shares.
(a)
Issuance of the SKYX Shares. At Closing, Parent shall issue in book-entry form 25,000,000 shares of Parent Common Stock (the “SKYX
Shares”) to the Escrow Agent.
(b)
Sale Mechanics.
(i)
Transfer Restrictions.
(A)
The SKYX Shares shall be subject to transfer restrictions (the “Transfer Restrictions”) commencing on the Closing
Date and expiring in accordance with the following release schedule: (i) 25% of the SKYX Shares shall be released from the Transfer Restrictions
on the date that is 12 months after the Closing Date; (ii) an additional 25% of the SKYX Shares shall be released from the Transfer Restrictions
on the date that is 15 months after the Closing Date; (iii) an additional 25% of the SKYX Shares shall be released from the Transfer
Restrictions on the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date; and (iv) the remaining 25% of the SKYX Shares shall be released from
the Transfer Restrictions on the date that is 21 months after the Closing Date (collectively, the “Release Schedule”,
and each such date on which SKYX Shares are released for sale, an “Unlock Date”). The period commencing on
the Closing Date and ending on the last Unlock Date is referred to herein as the “Restriction Period.” For
purposes of this Agreement, “Scheduled Release Shares” means, with respect to each Unlock Date, the number
of SKYX Shares that would be released from the Transfer Restrictions on such Unlock Date, determined without giving effect to any prior
release of IRE Shares (as defined below) or reclassification of IRE Shares pursuant to Section 3.05(b)(i)(B).
(B)
The Senior Lenders shall not transfer any SKYX Shares except pursuant to the Rule 10b5-1 Plan following the release of the applicable
SKYX Shares from the Transfer Restrictions in accordance with the Release Schedule or upon an Immediate Release Event (as defined below).
Notwithstanding the Release Schedule, if on any Trading Day the closing price of Parent Common Stock on NASDAQ equals or exceeds $5.00
per share (an “Immediate Release Event”), SKYX Shares in the number determined by the IRE Formula (as defined
below) shall be released from the Transfer Restrictions and delivered to the broker selected pursuant to the Rule 10b5-1 Plan (the “Broker”)
for sale in accordance with the Rule 10b5-1 Plan. The number of SKYX Shares comprising each such release shall equal the lesser of (x)
the quotient of (I) the Senior Lender Priority Payment then outstanding (including accrued and unpaid interest) divided by (II) the volume-weighted
average price of Parent Common Stock on NASDAQ for the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of the Immediate Release
Event, multiplied by 1.15 and rounded up to the nearest whole share, and (y) the number of SKYX Shares then remaining subject to the
Transfer Restrictions and available for release under the Escrow Agreement (the “IRE Formula”). Each such release
of SKYX Shares following an Immediate Release Event is referred to as an “IRE Tranche,” and the SKYX Shares
included therein, the “IRE Shares.” The Broker shall not sell any IRE Shares at a price below $4.00 per share
(the “IRE Floor Price”). All Sale Proceeds from any sales of IRE Shares shall be applied solely to satisfy
the Senior Lender Priority Payment in accordance with Section 3.05(c). At the close of trading on the Trading Day immediately
preceding each Unlock Date, any IRE Shares that remain unsold shall automatically be reclassified as Scheduled Release Shares, up to
the number of SKYX Shares scheduled to be released on such Unlock Date; any IRE Shares so reclassified shall reduce on a share-for-share
basis the number of Scheduled Release Shares scheduled to be released on such Unlock Date, and any IRE Shares that are not reclassified
(because the number of unsold IRE Shares exceeds the number of Scheduled Release Shares for such Unlock Date) shall continue to constitute
IRE Shares and be subject to the IRE Floor Price unless and until reclassified on a subsequent Unlock Date. If any Party identifies an
error in the Broker’s calculation of the number of IRE Shares comprising any IRE Tranche, it shall promptly notify the Broker and
the other Parties in writing. Upon confirmation or resolution of such error, the size of the next tranche not yet delivered to the Broker
shall be increased or decreased, as applicable, to correct for the excess or shortfall in the prior IRE Tranche (a “True-Up
Adjustment”), with any remaining adjustment carried forward to successive tranches until fully absorbed. True-Up Adjustments
shall operate on a prospective basis only and shall not require the recall of any IRE Shares already delivered or sold.
19
(C)
Upon satisfaction in full of the Senior Lender Priority Payment, the Rule 10b5-1 Plan shall terminate. Each book-entry representing SKYX
Shares shall bear a restrictive legend noting the Transfer Restrictions until the applicable SKYX Shares are released from the Transfer
Restrictions in accordance with the Release Schedule or upon an Immediate Release Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Company Stockholder
may transfer the Residual to its Affiliates, family members, family trusts or estate-planning vehicles, provided that the transferee
agrees in writing to be bound by the Transfer Restrictions.
(c)
Distribution of Sale Proceeds. The Escrow Agreement shall provide that the net proceeds resulting from the sale of the SKYX Shares
pursuant to the Rule 10b5-1 Plan following the release of the applicable SKYX Shares from the Transfer Restrictions (whether on an Unlock
Date or upon an Immediate Release Event) (the “Sale Proceeds”) shall be applied to the Senior Lender Priority
Payment until the Senior Lender Priority Payment is paid in full. Following the complete discharge of the Senior Lender Priority Payment,
the Escrow Agreement shall provide for the satisfaction of the following obligations in the following order of priority (clauses (i)
through (ii) below are referred to collectively as the “Priority Claims”):
(i)
first, the Escrow Agent shall return to Parent SKYX Shares with an aggregate value of $1,500,000 (based on the Reference Price) for cancellation
by Parent, to the extent that there are sufficient SKYX Shares remaining in the Escrow Account after satisfaction of the Senior Lender
Priority Payment; provided, however, that such return shall be conditioned upon Parent having theretofore or concurrently
therewith delivered $1,500,000 in cash to the Surviving Corporation (or its designee) to fund the obligations under the Retention Plan;
and
(ii)
second, to satisfy any undisputed indemnification claims of Parent Indemnitees submitted to the Securityholders’ Representative
in accordance with Article VIII hereof; provided, that (A) any indemnification claim for which notice has been given in
accordance with Section 8.05 hereof prior to the expiration of the relevant survival period (each, an “Asserted
Claim”) may continue to be asserted and indemnified against until finally resolved, (B) no Asserted Claim that has not
yet been finally determined as of the Determination Date shall delay or prevent the distribution of the Residual to the Contingent Beneficiaries,
and (C) the Securityholders’ Representative shall establish a reasonable reserve from the Escrow Property (as defined in the Escrow
Agreement) in an amount reasonably estimated to be sufficient to satisfy any such pending Asserted Claims (based on the VWAP Value),
which reserve shall be released to the Contingent Beneficiaries to the extent such Asserted Claims are resolved or finally determined;
provided, further, that no indemnification claim submitted after the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in Section
8.01 hereof (and which does not constitute an Asserted Claim) shall constitute a Priority Claim hereunder.
Following
satisfaction in full of the Priority Claims, the Escrow Agent shall cause the SKYX Shares then remaining in the Escrow Account and any
other property then remaining in the Escrow Account (the “Residual”) to be allocated and distributed to the
Contingent Beneficiaries in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.
20
(d)
Treatment of the Residual.
(i)
Allocation. Promptly following the Determination Date, the allocation of the Residual shall be fixed based on the Reference Price
and the information set forth in the Consideration Spreadsheet. Once fixed, the allocation shall not be recalculated.
(ii)
Distribution. Promptly following the Determination Date, the Securityholders’ Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent
to distribute the Residual in a single distribution (the “Release Instruction”). The Securityholders’
Representative shall concurrently deliver a distribution list to Parent’s transfer agent setting forth the Release Instruction,
and Parent shall cause the SKYX Shares comprising the Residual to be re-registered in the names reflected in the Release Instruction.
Parent may rely entirely on the distribution list provided by the Securityholders’ Representative to Parent’s transfer agent
setting forth the Release Instruction and shall have no obligation to independently verify the allocations set forth therein. Following
distribution of all of the Residual, the Escrow Account shall be closed in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and applicable Law.
(iii)
Legend Removal and Other Actions. Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to take such actions as the Escrow Agent and the Securityholders’
Representative shall reasonably request to permit the sale of SKYX Shares and the SKYX Shares comprising the Residual in accordance with
this Agreement and in compliance with applicable securities Laws, including providing appropriate direction to its transfer agent, causing
restrictive legends to be removed (including following release of SKYX Shares on an Unlock Date or upon an Immediate Release Event) and
blanket legal opinions to be issued to permit sales of the SKYX Shares comprising the Residual by Accredited Holders who are not affiliates
of Parent after the expiration of applicable Transfer Restrictions.
3.06
Consideration Spreadsheet Not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Company shall
prepare and deliver to Parent a spreadsheet substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Consideration
Spreadsheet”) setting forth, with respect to each holder of Company Capital Stock, Company Convertible Notes, Company Options
and Company Warrants, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, the following information: (a) the name of each such holder; (b)
the holder type (e.g., individual, trust, pooled fund or SPV, operating entity); (c) the class or series of securities held by each such
holder (including Company Common Stock, Company Preferred Stock, Company Convertible Notes, Company Options and Company Warrants, as
applicable); (d) the Retention Plan payment amount, if any, allocable to each such holder; (e) whether such holder has made an Abandonment
Election pursuant to Section 3.01(d); and (f) such other notes or information as may be necessary to describe the basis
for the consideration allocated to each such holder. For the avoidance of doubt, the Consideration Spreadsheet shall constitute a ministerial
application of the conversion formulas set forth in this Article III and shall not independently establish or modify the
manner of converting shares of Company Capital Stock or other securities into merger consideration. The Consideration Spreadsheet shall
be certified by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company as true, correct and complete. Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative
may rely entirely on the Consideration Spreadsheet and shall have no obligation to independently verify the information set forth therein.
3.07
Surrender and Transmittal. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered the Letter of
Transmittal received from holders of Company Common Stock, Company Preferred Stock, Company Convertible Notes, Company Warrants, and
Company Options (the “Letter of Transmittal”). Each such holder shall be entitled to receive consideration
in accordance with this Article III only upon delivery to Parent (or such other exchange agent as the parties may designate)
of a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and such other documents as may
reasonably be required by Parent (or such other exchange agent). For the avoidance of doubt, any holder of Company Common Stock or Company
Preferred Stock who wishes to make an Abandonment Election pursuant to Section 3.01(d) must deliver a duly completed and
executed Letter of Transmittal indicating such Abandonment Election to the Company prior to the Effective Time; no Abandonment Election
shall be effective unless accompanied by such delivery. Until a duly executed Letter of Transmittal is delivered to the Company, each
outstanding book-entry representing Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock that, prior to the Effective Time, represented shares
of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock that have been converted pursuant to Section 3.01(c) or Section
3.01(b), respectively, shall be deemed for all purposes to evidence only the right to receive the applicable consideration set
forth in this Article III. No interest shall accrue or be paid on any consideration payable upon surrender.
21
3.08
Withholding Rights. Parent, the Company, or any Person acting on their behalf shall be entitled to deduct and withhold
from any consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with
respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that
amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid over to the applicable Governmental Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes
of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
3.09
No Further Ownership Rights. The consideration paid or payable pursuant to this Article III upon conversion
of shares of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 3.01(c) or Section 3.01(b),
respectively, and cancellation of Company Options and Company Warrants pursuant to Section 3.02 and Section 3.03,
respectively, shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares, options and
warrants. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock or
Company Preferred Stock on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation.

Except
as set forth in the Schedules (it being agreed that disclosure of any item in any section or subsection of the Schedules shall be deemed
disclosure with respect to any other section or subsection of this Agreement to which the relevance of such item is reasonably apparent
on the face of such disclosure), the Company represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as follows:
4.01
Existence and Good Standing. The Company is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the State of Delaware, and the Company is duly licensed or qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in each of the jurisdictions
set forth on Schedule 4.01, which are the only jurisdictions in which the Company is required to be so qualified, except
where the failure to be so qualified would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.02
Capitalization; Indebtedness and Selling Expenses; Subsidiaries.
(a)
The authorized, issued and outstanding Equity Interests of the Company are set forth on Schedule 4.02(a). All issued and
outstanding Equity Interests are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and are held of record as set forth on Schedule
4.02(a). There are (i) no outstanding subscriptions, options, calls, convertible debt, Contracts, restrictions, arrangements,
warrants or other rights, including any rights plan, or any right of conversion or exchange under any outstanding security, instrument
or other Contract, obligating the Company to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, additional Equity Interests
of the Company, or obligating the Company to grant, extend or enter into any such Contract and (ii) no voting trusts, proxies or other
agreements or understandings to which the Company or any of the Company Stockholders are a party or are bound with respect to the voting
of any of the Equity Interests of the Company or any other Person or which restrict the transfer of any such Equity Interest (in each
case including the Company Capital Stock). There are no outstanding Contracts to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any Equity Interest
of the Company. The Company is not under any obligation to register the offer and sale or resale of its securities under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

22
4.03
Power; Authority. The Company has the requisite, full corporate power and authority necessary to (a) own, operate and lease
the Company’s properties and assets as and where currently owned, operated and leased and (b) carry on the business as currently
conducted by the Company. The Company has the full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement
and the Transaction Documents to which it is a party. The execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and the Transaction
Documents to which it is a party, the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and, subject to obtainment
of the Company Stockholder Approval, the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly
authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Company. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company,
and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent and Merger Sub) this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms. When each Transaction Document to which the Company
is, or will be, a party has been duly executed and delivered by the Company (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by each
other party thereto), each such Transaction Document will constitute a legal and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against
it in accordance with its terms.
4.04
No Conflicts; Consents. The Company Board has adopted the Company Board Resolutions. The restrictions contained in Section
203 of the DGCL are not applicable to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement by reason of Section 203(b)(4)
of the DGCL because the Company does not have a class of voting stock that is (x) listed on a national securities exchange or (y) held
of record by more than 2,000 stockholders, and the Company has not elected by provision of its certificate of incorporation to be governed
by Section 203 of the DGCL. No other “fair price”, “moratorium”, “control share acquisition” or other
similar anti-takeover statute or regulation (collectively, a “Takeover Statute”) or any anti-takeover provision
in the Certificate of Incorporation or other organizational documents of the Company is applicable to the Merger or the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, nor the performance
by the Company of the Company’s obligations hereunder or thereunder will: (i) conflict with or result in a violation or breach
of, or default under, any provision of the organizational documents of the Company; (ii) conflict with or result in a violation or other
breach of any Law or Order applicable to the Company; (iii) require the consent, notice or other action by any Person under, conflict
with, result in a violation or breach of or constitute a default or an event that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would
constitute a default under, result in the acceleration of or create in any party the right to accelerate, terminate, modify or cancel
any Contract or Permit to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound; or (iv) result in the creation or imposition
of any Encumbrances. No consent, waiver, approval, authorization, exemption, registration, Order or Permit of, or declaration or filing
with, or notification to, any Person or Governmental Authority (collectively, “Consents”) is required by or
with respect to the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby other than the execution, acknowledgement and filing of the Certificate
of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

all material respects, the financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company at the
dates and for the time periods indicated, have been prepared and reviewed by the management of the Company in accordance with GAAP and
are consistent with the Financial Statements, except for the absence of the customary year-end adjustments (none of which adjustments
would, individually or in the aggregate, be material in nature or amount). The Financial Statements and the Interim Financial Statements
were derived from the books and records of the Company. The books of account of the Company are true, correct and complete in all material
respects, and fairly reflect all material properties, assets, Liabilities and transactions of the Company. The internal controls and
procedures of the Company are sufficient to ensure that the Financial Statements are true, correct and complete in all material respects.

No. 5) that is not reflected in the Financial Statements.

Covenants

Public Announcements. Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, (a) neither the Company nor the Securityholders’
Representative shall issue any press release or make any public statement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby without the prior written consent of Parent, and (b) Parent and Merger Sub shall provide Derek Richardson with a reasonable opportunity
to review and comment on any press release or public statement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby

comment upon and concur with, and will agree on any press release, public statement or filing with the SEC with respect to this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated herein, and will not issue any such press release or make any such public statement or make any such
filing prior to such consultation and agreement, except as may be required by applicable Law or any listing agreement with any applicable
national or regional securities exchange or market. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall be entitled to respond to analysts’
and equityholders’ questions in the Ordinary Course of Business and in a manner consistent with any previous disclosure made in
accordance with this Section 6.01.
6.02

to the following Tax matters:
(a)
Parent shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Company that are to be filed as of
and after the Closing Date (including any Tax Return of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period that is due on or after the Closing
Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Return”) and any Tax Return of the Company for any Straddle Period (“Straddle
Period Tax Return”)) in accordance with applicable Tax Law. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared in accordance with the past
practices and procedures of the Company, except as required by applicable Law. Parent shall provide to the Securityholders’ Representative
for its review a draft of each Tax Return for any Pre-Closing Tax Period no later than thirty (30) days prior to the due date (including
extensions) for timely filing of such Tax Returns (or if the due date is within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, as promptly as
practicable after the Closing Date). The Securityholders’ Representative shall notify Parent in writing within fifteen (15) days
after delivery of any such Tax Return if it has any reasonable comments with respect to items set forth in such Tax Return. Parent shall
consider in good faith all such reasonable comments. In the case of any Straddle Period, the amount of any Taxes based on or measured
by income or receipts of the Company for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of
the close of business on the Closing Date and the amount of other Taxes of the Company for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing
Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which
is the number of days in the taxable period ending on (and including) the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of
days in such Straddle Period.
(b)
Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party,
in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 6.02 and any Action, litigation or other proceeding
with respect to Taxes relating to a period of time prior to the Closing Date. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon
the other party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation
or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis, at a reasonable cost to requesting party, to provide
additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Company agrees to retain all books and records with respect
to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the
statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Parent, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide
by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Authority or Taxing Authority.
40
(c)
Parent, the Company and the Securityholders’ Representative further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any
certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or Taxing Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate,
reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).
(d)
All tax sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date
and, after the Closing Date, the Company shall not be bound thereby or have any Liability thereunder.

All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other
fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, if any, shall be borne and paid one-half by the Securityholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Company Stockholders
and payable from the Expense Fund, to the extent of funds available there) and one-half by Parent. The party that is required under applicable
Laws to file Tax Returns with respect to such transfer Taxes shall prepare and file all such Tax Returns and promptly provide to the

The Company shall make a “closing-of-the-books election” pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.382-6(b) (and pursuant
to any corresponding provision of applicable state and local Law) with respect to the taxable year in which an “ownership change”
(within the meaning of Section 382(g) of the Code) occurs in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(g)
For Tax purposes, all indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be adjustments to the consideration
received hereunder (as reflected in the Consideration Spreadsheet) and shall be treated as such by the Parent, the Company Stockholders,
and the holders of the Company Convertible Notes, the Company Options, and the Company Warrants on their respective Tax Returns to the
extent permitted by Law.
(h)
The parties acknowledge and agree that, for applicable income Tax purposes: (i) the Merger is not intended to constitute a “reorganization”
within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, (ii) this Agreement is not intended to constitute a “plan of reorganization”
within the meaning of Treasury Regulations § 1.368-2(g), and (iii) Parent is intended to be treated as the owner of the SKYX Shares

Indemnification of the Company Stockholders. Parent will be solely responsible for and indemnify, defend and hold harmless
the Securityholders’ Representative, the Company Stockholders and their respective Representatives and Affiliates (collectively,
the “Stockholder Indemnitees”) from and against, and will hold each of them harmless from and against, and
will pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Stockholder Indemnitees based
upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of (a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of
Parent or Merger Sub contained in this Agreement (including any Schedule or Exhibit attached hereto or certificate delivered in connection

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VIII, the Contingent Beneficiaries will not have any

(c)
For purposes of this Article VIII, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty, and the amount of Losses
for which Parent Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII, will be used solely to calculate
the amount of Losses, and not for purposes of determining whether a breach has occurred, and shall apply only with respect to Losses
arising out of any individual matter (or series of related matters) that exceed $25,000.
(d)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the sole and exclusive source of recovery by any Parent Indemnitee against

in the case of Fraud by such Company Stockholder).

respect to or by reason of Fraud by the Company or the Securityholders’ Representative.
48
8.05
Indemnification Procedures.
(a)
Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by
any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a
“Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated
to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof as soon
as is reasonably practicable after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Third Party Claim. No delay in, or failure to give such
notice will adversely affect any of the other rights or remedies of the Indemnified Party or alter or relieve the Indemnifying Party
of its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party to the extent that such delay or failure has not materially prejudiced the Indemnifying
Party. Such notice by the Indemnified Party will describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, will include copies of all material
written evidence thereof and will indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained
by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified
Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s
own counsel, and the Indemnified Party will cooperate in good faith in such defense: (i) that is asserted directly by or on behalf of
a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Company or Parent, (ii) that seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the
Indemnified Party, or (iii) unless the Indemnifying Party expressly agrees in writing to be fully responsible for all Losses relating
to such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.05(b),
the Indemnifying Party will have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims
pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party will have the right
to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it, subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to
control the defense thereof and the fees and disbursements of such counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided,
however, that, if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, either there are legal defenses available to
an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or there exists a conflict of
interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, then the Indemnifying Party will be liable for
the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines
counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the
Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of
such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party
Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. The Securityholders’
Representative and Parent will cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party
Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement) records relating to such Third Party Claim
and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses, including the Securityholders’ Representative’s
reasonable administrative costs of coordination) to the defending party, at mutually convenient times and upon reasonable advance notice,
such management employees of the non-defending party as are reasonably available and as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation
of the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.05(a) shall require the disclosure
of any information protected by the attorney-client privilege or work product doctrine.
(b)
Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party will not enter
into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section
8.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to Liability or the creation of a financial or
other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified
Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and
agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party will give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party
fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue
to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum Liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party
Claim will not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails
to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such
firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to the provisions of Section
8.05(a), it will not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed).
49
(c)
Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss that does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct
Claim”) will be asserted by the Indemnified Party as soon as is reasonably practicable after such Indemnified Party becomes
aware of such Direct Claim. No delay in, or failure to give such notice will adversely affect any of the other rights or remedies of
the Indemnified Party or alter or relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party to the extent that
such delay or failure has not materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. Such notice by the Indemnified Party will describe the Direct
Claim in reasonable detail and will indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained
by the Indemnified Party. Within thirty (30) Business Days after being notified of any such Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party will
notify the Indemnified Party of whether or not such Indemnifying Party disputes its Liability for such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying
Party does not so notify the Indemnified Party that it disputes its Liability for such Direct Claim within such thirty (30)-Business
Day period, the Direct Claim specified by such Indemnified Party in its notice to the Indemnifying Party thereof shall be deemed accepted
by the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party will be obligated to make payment therefor according to the provisions of Section
8.06, provided, however, that if the amount of such Liability is not then determinable, the Indemnifying Party
will be obligated to make payment therefor according to the provisions of Section 8.06 when the amount of such Liability
is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or is finally adjudicated. Following the delivery of a Direct Claim
by a Parent Indemnitee, the Securityholders’ Representative and its representatives shall be given all such access (including electronic
access to the extent available) as it may reasonably require to the books and records of the Surviving Corporation and access to such
personnel or representatives of the Surviving Corporation and Parent including but not limited to the individual responsible for preparing
the matters identified in the Direct Claim, as they may reasonably require for the purpose of investigating or resolving any disputes
or responding to any matters or inquiries raised in the Direct Claim.
8.06
Payments.
(a)
Once a Loss arising under Section 8.02 is deemed final or is finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article
VIII, Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative must provide written notice to the Escrow Agent indicating the amount
of the Loss and such Loss shall be satisfied by delivery to Parent of SKYX Shares valued at the VWAP Value in accordance with Section
3.05(c) and the Escrow Agreement.
(b)
Once a Loss arising under Section 8.03 is deemed final or is finally adjudicated to be paid pursuant to this Article
VIII, the Indemnifying Party must satisfy its obligations to the Indemnified Party within three (3) Business Days thereof by
wire transfer of immediately available funds.
8.07
Contribution and Waiver. From and after the Closing, no Company Stockholder shall seek indemnification or contribution
from the Company (including by reason of the fact that such Company Stockholder was a director, manager, officer, employee or agent of
any such entity or was serving at the request of any such entity as a partner, trustee, director, manager, officer, employee or agent
of another entity) for any breaches of this Agreement, any Transaction Document or in respect of any other payments required to be made
by any Company Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents.
8.08
Effect of Investigation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VIII, no Parent Indemnitee
shall be entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII for any Losses based upon, arising out of, with respect to
or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement to the extent
that any officer or director of Parent or Merger Sub had actual knowledge of such inaccuracy or breach as of or prior to the Closing
Date.

Securityholders’ Representative.
(a)
Upon and by virtue of the approval and adoption of this Agreement by the requisite vote of the Company Stockholders, and by receiving
the benefits thereof, including the right to receive the consideration payable in connection with the Merger, each Company Stockholder
(other than such Company Stockholders, if any, holding Dissenting Shares), on behalf of itself and such Company Stockholder’s successors
and assigns, hereby appoints WT Representative LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as the Securityholders’ Representative
(and by execution of this Agreement the Securityholders’ Representative hereby accepts such appointment), as the agent and attorney-in-fact

(b)
The Securityholders’ Representative shall not be liable to any Company Stockholder for any act done or omitted hereunder or under
any of the Transaction Documents as Securityholders’ Representative while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable
judgment, even though such act or omission constitutes negligence on the part of such Securityholders’ Representative, and any
act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith. The Securityholders’ Representative
shall only have the duties expressly stated in this Agreement and shall have no other duty, express or implied, including, without limitation,
any fiduciary duties, by virtue of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents. The Securityholders’ Representative may
engage attorneys, accountants and other professionals and experts. The Securityholders’ Representative may in good faith rely conclusively
upon information, reports, statements and opinions prepared or presented by such professionals, and any action taken or omission by the
Securityholders’ Representative based on such reliance shall be deemed conclusively to have been taken in good faith and in the
exercise of reasonable judgment. Neither the Securityholders’ Representative nor any member of the Advisory Committee established
under the Securityholders’ Representative’s engagement letter (collectively, the “Representative Group”)
shall incur any liability of any kind with respect to any action or omission by the Representative Group in connection with the Representative
Group’s services pursuant to this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, except in the event of liability directly resulting
from the Representative Group’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Company Stockholders shall defend and hold harmless
the Securityholders’ Representative from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims and penalties, fines, fees,
costs and expenses arising out of or in connection with the Securityholders’ Representative’s execution and performance of
this agreement (“Representative Loss”), in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred, provided
that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Securityholders’ Representative, the Securityholders’ Representative will reimburse the Company Stockholders
the amount of such indemnified Representative Losses to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not
paid directly to the Securityholders’ Representative by the Company Stockholders, any such losses may be recovered by the Securityholders’
Representative from the funds in the Expense Fund or any other funds that may become payable provided that this section does not relieve
the Company Stockholder from the obligation to promptly pay the Representative Losses as they are suffered and incurred, nor does it
limit the Securityholders’ Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event shall the
Securityholders’ Representative be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive, incidental, or consequential loss or
damages of any kind whatsoever. The Securityholders’ Representative shall be entitled to: (x) rely upon the Consideration Spreadsheet;
(y) rely upon any signature believed by it to be genuine; and (z) reasonably assume that a signatory has proper authorization to sign
on behalf of the applicable Company Stockholder or other party.
(c)
A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholders’ Representative, including any reserve for or set-off against any
claims by Parent Indemnitees for Losses under Article VIII, shall constitute a decision of all of the Company Stockholders
and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each and every Company Stockholder, and Parent may rely upon any decision, act, consent
or instruction of the Securityholders’ Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each and every Company
Stockholder. Parent is hereby relieved from any Liability to any person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act,
consent or instruction of the Securityholders’ Representative.
52
(d)
The Company Stockholders acknowledge that the Securityholders’ Representative shall not be required to expend or risk his, her
or its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the exercise or performance of any of his, her or its powers, rights,
duties or privileges or pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
Upon Closing, the Company will wire (or will cause to be wired) to the Securityholders’ Representative $125,000.00 (the “Expense
Fund”), which will be used for the purposes of paying directly or reimbursing the Securityholders’ Representative
for any third-party expenses pursuant to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. The Company Stockholders will not receive any
interest or earnings on the Expense Fund. As soon as practicable following the completion of the Securityholders’ Representative’s
duties, the Securityholders’ Representative will cause the remaining balance of the Expense Fund to be delivered to the Company
Stockholders in accordance with their pro rata shares. For income tax purposes, the Expense Fund shall be treated as having been received
and voluntarily set aside by the Company Stockholder’s on the Closing Date.
10.02
Expenses. In addition to Parent’s expenses incurred or to be incurred in connection with the execution and delivery
of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, Parent shall
be solely responsible for the Selling Expenses at Closing, including the costs of forming, establishing and administering the Escrow
Account.
10.03
Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement must be in writing and will be
deemed to have been duly given (a) when delivered in person, (b) when sent by electronic mail, (c) one (1) Business Day after having

to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim in this Agreement.

10.05
Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of convenience only, and do not affect the meaning or interpretation
of this Agreement.
10.06
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any provision of this Agreement to any party or
circumstance is, to any extent, adjudged invalid or unenforceable, the application of the remainder of such provision to such party or
circumstance, the application of such provision to other parties or circumstances, and the application of the remainder of this Agreement
will not be affected thereby.
10.07
Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Transaction Documents, together with that certain Confidentiality Agreement, dated
as of March 5, 2026 by and between the Company and Parent (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), constitute the
sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein, and supersede
all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. In the event
of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement and those in the Transaction Documents, the Exhibits or the
Schedules (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Schedule corresponding to such exception), the statements in the
body of this Agreement will control.
10.08
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and permitted assigns. No party hereto may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of the other party, provided, however, that: (i) Parent and Merger Sub may, without the prior written consent of
the Company, prior to the Effective Time (a) assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates
(but such assignment will not release Parent from any Liability under this Agreement) or (b) collaterally assign all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement to any of Parent’s or Merger Sub’s lenders; and (ii) Securityholders’ Representative’s
interest may be assigned, without the prior written consent of the Parent and Merger Sub, in accordance with Section 10.01.
10.09
No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Article VIII, this Agreement is for the sole benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended
to or will confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by
reason of this Agreement.
10.10
Amendment and Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing
signed (a) prior to the Effective Time, by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, and the Securityholders’ Representative and (b) from
and after the Effective Time, by the Parent and the Surviving Corporation, on the one hand, and the Securityholders’ Representative,
on the other hand. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof will be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and
signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party will operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or
default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or
after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement
will operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
10.11
Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
(a)
This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect
to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the
application of Laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware.
54
(b)
Any Action arising out of or based upon this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
will be instituted in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery declines jurisdiction, in each case
located in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware), and each party
hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such Action. Service of process, summons, notice or other
document by mail to such party’s address set forth in this Agreement will be effective service of process for any Action brought
in any such court. The parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any Action in such
courts and irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Action brought in any such court has been
brought in an inconvenient forum.
(c)
Each of parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that any Action arising out of or based upon this Agreement, the Transaction Documents
or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, irrevocably
and unconditionally waives any right such party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any such Action. Each of the parties hereto
further acknowledge and agree that (i) no other party hereto or such other party’s respective Representatives has represented,
expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of any Action arising out of or based upon this Agreement, the
Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, (ii) such party has considered
the implications of this waiver, (iii) such party makes this waiver voluntarily, and (iv) such party has been induced to enter into this
Agreement by among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications contained in this Section 10.11(c).
10.12
Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (a) irreparable damage would occur if any provision
of this Agreement were breached or not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and (b) monetary damages would both be incalculable
and an insufficient remedy for such breach or non-performance and therefore, the parties hereto will be entitled to specific performance
of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. To the fullest extent permitted
by Law, the parties to this Agreement (i) waive any requirement for the securing or posting of a bond in connection with the foregoing
and (ii) agree that they will not assert the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate or that the consideration reflected in this
Agreement was inadequate or that the terms of this Agreement were not just and equitable.
10.13
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered electronically and in counterparts, each of which will be deemed
an original, but all of which together will be deemed to be one and the same agreement.
10.14
Conflict Waiver/Attorney Client Privilege. Notwithstanding that the Company has been represented by K&L Gates LLP (the
“Firm”) in the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement, the Company agrees that after the
Closing the Firm may represent the Securityholders’ Representative, the Company Stockholders and/or their affiliates in the matters
related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation in respect of any indemnification claims
pursuant hereto. The Company hereby acknowledges on behalf of itself and its affiliates that it has had an opportunity to ask for and
has obtained information relevant to such representation, including disclosure of the reasonably foreseeable adverse consequences of
such representation and hereby waives any conflict arising out of such future representation. All communications involving attorney-client
privilege confidences between a Company Stockholder, its Affiliates (including prior to the Closing, the Company) or the officer, director
or employee of a Company Stockholder or its Affiliates (including the Company) and the Firm in the course of the negotiation, documentation,
due diligence, and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including communications arising prior to the execution
of this Agreement (collectively the “Seller Privileged Communications”), shall be deemed to be attorney-client
confidences and communications that belong solely to the Securityholders’ Representative and not, following the Closing, the Company,
and may be asserted or waived only by the Securityholders’ Representative. The parties agree that, immediately prior to the Closing,
without the need for any further action, (a) all right, title and interest of the Company in and to all Seller Privileged Communications
shall transfer to and thereafter be vested solely in the Securityholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Company Stockholders),
and (b) any and all protections from disclosure, including attorney-client privileges and work product protections, associated with or
arising from any Seller Privileged Communications that would have been exercisable by the Company shall be vested exclusively in and
exercisable by, the Securityholders’ Representative and its successors in interest and shall be exercised or waived solely as directed
by the Securityholders’ Representative or its successors in interest; provided, however, that the Securityholders’ Representative
shall not exercise or waive any such privilege or protection in a manner that is adverse to the individual interests of any Company Stockholder
with respect to matters unrelated to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, further, that, notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company may assert any such protection from disclosure in any legal proceeding not directly adverse to the Securityholders’
Representative or the Company Stockholders in their capacity as such.

ESCROW
AGREEMENT
This
ESCROW AGREEMENT dated as of_________, 2026 (this “Escrow Agreement”), is entered into by and among WT Representative
LLC, solely in its capacity as the Securityholders’ Representative under the Merger Agreement (as defined below) and not in any
other capacity (the “Securityholders’ Representative”), SKYX Platforms Corp., a Florida corporation (“SKYX”),

and as a representative for the Senior Lenders (as defined below) (the “Senior Lender Representative”), and
Wilmington Trust, National Association, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent” and, together with the Securityholders’
Representative, SKYX, and the Senior Lender Representative, the “Parties,” and each, a “Party”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS,
pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 9, 2026 (the “Merger Agreement”),
by and among Deako, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Deako”), SKYX, Lumineer Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger
Sub”), and the Securityholders’ Representative, Merger Sub merged with and into Deako, with Deako surviving as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of SKYX (the “Merger”), and the Securityholders’ Representative was appointed
to act as the Securityholders’ Representative in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement;
WHEREAS,
the common stock of SKYX (the “Parent Common Stock”) is listed for trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market (the
“NASDAQ”);
WHEREAS,
at the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), 25,000,000 shares (the “SKYX Shares” or the “Escrow
Property”) will be deposited with the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 1.1 hereof;
WHEREAS,
the Escrow Property will be held in a non-interest-bearing account (the “Escrow Account”) and held and disbursed
by the Escrow Agent in accordance with this Escrow Agreement; and
WHEREAS,
pursuant to this Escrow Agreement, the Senior Lender Representative, on behalf of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company and MassMutual
Ascend Life Insurance Company (together, the “Senior Lenders”), has the right to receive all Sale Proceeds
(as defined below) of the SKYX Shares in accordance with Section 1.4 hereof until the Senior Lender Priority Payment (as defined
below) has been paid in full.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby
agree as follows:
Article
1
ESCROW DEPOSIT, DISTRIBUTION, AND INVESTMENT
Section
1.1 Deposit of Escrow Funds. The Securityholders’ Representative, SKYX, and the Senior Lender Representative hereby appoint
the Escrow Agent as escrow agent hereunder, and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts its duties as provided herein. Upon the execution and
delivery of this Escrow Agreement, SKYX will transfer (or cause to be transferred) to the Escrow Agent the SKYX Shares to be held and
disbursed as provided in this Escrow Agreement. Prior to closing, the Parties shall provide the Escrow Agent with certified tax identification
numbers by furnishing appropriate forms W-9 or the appropriate series of Form W-8, as applicable, and such other forms and documents
that the Escrow Agent may request. The SKYX Shares shall be held in the name of “Wilmington Trust, N.A., as Escrow Agent on behalf
of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company and MassMutual Ascend Life Insurance Company”.
Section
1.2 Reliance on Advisory Committee. The Securityholders’ Representative may rely on, and act at the direction of, the advisory
committee established under the Securityholders’ Representative’s engagement agreement (the “Advisory Committee”)
with respect to any material decision required or permitted to be made by the Securityholders’ Representative under this Escrow
Agreement, and shall not be required to exercise its own discretion with respect thereto. The composition, authority, and procedures
of the Advisory Committee are governed by the Securityholders’ Representative’s engagement agreement and are not altered
by this Escrow Agreement. None of the Escrow Agent, SKYX or the Senior Lender Representative shall have any duty to inquire into whether
the Securityholders’ Representative has obtained or acted in accordance with any direction of the Advisory Committee, and each
may conclusively rely on any instruction or direction given by the Securityholders’ Representative as being duly authorized.
Section
1.3 Release Schedule; Trading Plan; Duties with Respect to Shares.
(a)
Transfer Restrictions; Scheduled Release Shares. The SKYX Shares shall be subject to transfer restrictions (the “Transfer
Restrictions”) commencing on the Closing Date that prevent the sale or distribution of any SKYX Shares, and shall be released
to the Broker for sale in accordance with the Trading Plan in four equal tranches of twenty-five percent (25%) each, on the date that
is 12 months after the Closing Date, the date that is 15 months after the Closing Date, the date that is 18 months after the Closing
Date and the date that is 21 months after the Closing Date (the “Release Schedule,” and each such date on which
SKYX Shares are released for sale, an “Unlock Date”). For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Restriction
Period” means the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the last Unlock Date; and (ii) “Scheduled
Release Shares” means, with respect to each Unlock Date, the number of SKYX Shares that would be released from the Transfer
Restrictions on such Unlock Date, determined without giving effect to any prior release of IRE Shares or reclassification of IRE Shares
pursuant to Section 1.3(c).
(b)
Immediate Release Event. Notwithstanding the Release Schedule, if on any Trading Day the closing price of Parent Common Stock
equals or exceeds $5.00 per share (an “Immediate Release Event”), SKYX Shares in the number determined by the
IRE Formula (as defined below) shall be released from the Transfer Restrictions and delivered to the Broker for sale in accordance with
the Trading Plan. The number of SKYX Shares comprising each such release shall equal the lesser of (i) the quotient of (x) the Senior
Lender Priority Payment then outstanding (including accrued and unpaid interest) divided by (y) the volume-weighted average price of
Parent Common Stock on the NASDAQ for the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of the Immediate Release Event, multiplied
by 1.15 and rounded up to the nearest whole share, and (ii) the number of SKYX Shares then remaining subject to the Transfer Restrictions
and available for release under this Escrow Agreement (the “IRE Formula”). Each such release of SKYX Shares
following an Immediate Release Event is referred to as an “IRE Tranche,” and the SKYX Shares included therein,
the “IRE Shares.” Within one (1) Business Day following an Immediate Release Event, the Broker, in accordance
with the Trading Plan, shall provide the Senior Lender Representative, SKYX, the Securityholders’ Representative and the Escrow
Agent with its calculation of the number of IRE Shares comprising the initial IRE Tranche based on the IRE Formula. The Escrow Agent
shall, upon a written instruction signed by an Authorized Representative of the Senior Lender Representative, deliver or cause to be
delivered the applicable IRE Tranche to the Broker. For the avoidance of doubt the Escrow Agent shall act upon the written instruction
signed by an Authorized Representative of the Senior Lender Representative without further inquiry. If the Senior Lender Priority Payment
has not been satisfied in full following the settlement of the final sale of all IRE Shares in an IRE Tranche (or the reclassification
thereof, as further described below), the Broker shall, within one (1) Business Day following such settlement or reclassification, provide
the Senior Lender Representative, SKYX, the Securityholders’ Representative and the Escrow Agent with its calculation of the number
of IRE Shares comprising the next IRE Tranche based on the IRE Formula. The Escrow Agent shall, upon a written instruction signed by
an Authorized Representative of the Senior Lender Representative, deliver or cause to be delivered the applicable IRE Tranche to the
Broker. For the avoidance of doubt the Escrow Agent shall act upon the written instruction signed by an Authorized Representative of
the Senior Lender Representative without further inquiry. The Broker shall not sell any IRE Shares at a price below $4.00 per share (the
“IRE Floor Price”). If any Party identifies an error in the Broker’s calculation of the number of IRE
Shares comprising any IRE Tranche, it shall promptly notify the Broker and the other Parties in writing. Upon confirmation or resolution
of such error, the size of the next tranche not yet delivered to the Broker shall be increased or decreased, as applicable, to correct
for the excess or shortfall in the prior IRE Tranche (a “True-Up Adjustment”), with any remaining adjustment
carried forward to successive tranches until fully absorbed. True-Up Adjustments shall operate on a prospective basis only and shall
not require the recall of any IRE Shares already delivered or sold. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Broker shall
cease selling IRE Shares immediately upon satisfaction in full of the Senior Lender Priority Payment, and any remaining IRE Shares shall
be treated as unsold and reclassified pursuant to Section 1.3(c).
2
(c)
Reclassification of IRE Shares. At the close of trading on the Trading Day immediately preceding each Unlock Date, any IRE Shares
that remain unsold shall automatically be reclassified as Scheduled Release Shares, up to the number of SKYX Shares scheduled to be released
on such Unlock Date. No later than the opening of trading on each Unlock Date, the Broker shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, the Senior
Lender Representative, SKYX and the Securityholders’ Representative a written notice setting forth the number of IRE Shares that
shall be reclassified as Scheduled Release Shares and the number of IRE Shares, if any, that remain outstanding and subject to the IRE
Floor Price. Any IRE Shares so reclassified shall reduce on a share-for-share basis the number of Scheduled Release Shares scheduled
to be released on such Unlock Date, and the Escrow Agent shall release only the balance, if any, of such Scheduled Release Shares as
directed in a written instruction signed by an Authorized Representative of the Senior Lender Representative. Any IRE Shares that are
not reclassified, because the number of unsold IRE Shares exceeds the number of Scheduled Release Shares for such Unlock Date, shall
continue to constitute IRE Shares and be subject to the IRE Floor Price unless and until reclassified on a subsequent Unlock Date. The
foregoing reclassification of the IRE Shares shall be automatic and pre-established and shall not require any election or discretion
by any Party.
(d)
Trading Plan. On or after the Effective Time, the Senior Lender Representative shall select a broker (the “Broker”)
to effect the sales of the SKYX Shares released from the Transfer Restrictions (whether on an Unlock Date or upon an Immediate Release
Event) pursuant to a trading plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and mutually agreed upon by the Senior Lender Representative, SKYX and the Securityholders’ Representative, substantially
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Trading Plan”); provided that, to the extent the Broker
requires modifications to the form of Trading Plan as a condition of its engagement, the Senior Lender Representative, SKYX and the Securityholders’
Representative shall negotiate in good faith to revise the Trading Plan to accommodate such modifications, in each case so long as the
Trading Plan as so modified remains consistent in all material respects with this Escrow Agreement and the economic terms and disposition
instructions set forth in the version of the Trading Plan attached hereto as Exhibit C and remains in compliance with Rule 10b5-1.
Upon execution of the Trading Plan (whether in the form attached as Exhibit C or as revised in accordance with the immediately
foregoing proviso), such executed Trading Plan shall be deemed the “Trading Plan” for all purposes of this Escrow Agreement.
The Escrow Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered the released SKYX Shares to the Broker for sale in accordance with the Trading
Plan (each sale, a “Sale Event”) and as directed in a written instruction signed by an Authorized Representative
of the Senior Lender Representative as follows: (i) on each Unlock Date, the applicable Scheduled Release Shares, after giving effect
to any reclassification, if any, of IRE Shares reflected in a Broker’s notice delivered pursuant to Section 1.3(c), and
(ii) following an Immediate Release Event, the IRE Shares comprising the applicable IRE Tranche, upon receipt of the Broker’s notice
in accordance with this Section 1.3(b). The Broker shall remit the net proceeds of each Sale Event (the “Sale Proceeds”)
to the Escrow Agent for deposit into the Escrow Account and for payment by the Escrow Agent to satisfy the Priority Claims (as defined
below) in accordance with Section 1.4. For the avoidance of doubt, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to act in reliance on and
to conclusively rely on any notice or calculation delivered by the Broker and any written instruction signed by an Authorized Representative
of the Senior Lender Representative, in each case without further direction, consent, inquiry or independent verification from or on
behalf of any Party, and shall have no liability to any Party for acting in accordance therewith. The Escrow Property shall not be reinvested
or otherwise “varied” as an investment, and no SKYX Shares shall be sold except as directed by the Senior Lender Representative
and in accordance with this Escrow Agreement and the Trading Plan. For recordkeeping purposes, the Senior Lender Representative shall
cause the Broker to provide prompt written notice to SKYX of the transaction details regarding each Sale Event. For the avoidance of
doubt, the Broker shall cease selling SKYX Shares immediately upon satisfaction in full of the Senior Lender Priority Payment, and any
remaining SKYX Shares shall be treated as unsold and reclassified pursuant to Section 1.3(c).
3
(e)
Voting of SKYX Shares. The Parties agree the SKYX Shares shall have no voting rights for so long as the Senior Lenders are the
beneficial owners of such share or such shares remain in the Escrow Account.
(f)
Dividends. Any and all dividends, distributions or other payments of any kind, whether in cash, additional shares of capital stock,
other securities, property or otherwise, declared, made or paid in respect of, or on account of, the SKYX Shares while held in the Escrow
Account shall be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied in accordance with Section 1.4 hereof.
(g)
Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of SKYX Shares or other securities shall be retained in or released from the Escrow Account
pursuant to this Agreement.
(h)
Disbursement of SKYX Shares. The Escrow Agent is not the stock transfer agent for the SKYX Shares. Accordingly, whenever a distribution
of a number of shares is to be made upon the delivery of instructions as set forth below, SKYX will direct its transfer agent (the “Transfer
Agent”) to, within two (2) Business Days, requisition and transfer the appropriate number of SKYX Shares in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, and cause it to credit such SKYX Shares by book entry to the account of the appropriate transferee
in the records of the Transfer Agent. For purposes of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall be deemed to have delivered SKYX Shares
hereunder when the Escrow Agent has delivered complete instructions to the Transfer Agent in the form provided by the Transfer Agent,
copying SKYX, to credit by book entry the appropriate number of shares to the account of the appropriate transferee, with the residual
shares comprising the remaining Escrow Property to be reflected in the records of the Transfer Agent as held for the account of the Escrow
Agent. Following Escrow Agent’s delivery of such instructions to the Transfer Agent, any transferee entitled to SKYX Shares shall
consult directly with the Transfer Agent regarding any delay or problem with delivery of SKYX Shares to such transferee.
(i)
Stock Splits. In the event of any stock split or other similar occurrence, the Transfer Agent shall deliver to Escrow Agent a
revised statement setting forth the new number of SKYX Shares held in the Escrow Account. Unless and until the Escrow Agent receives
a revised schedule representing additional shares of the SKYX Shares, the Escrow Agent may assume without inquiry that no such stock
or other property has been issued with respect to SKYX Shares.

Section
1.4 Senior Lender Priority Payment and Priority of Disbursements. For purposes of this Escrow Agreement, the “Senior
Lender Priority Payment” means one or more payments in cash in the aggregate amount of Eighteen Million Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($18,050,000.00) (the “Principal Obligation Amount”) plus simple interest on the outstanding Principal
Obligation Amount at the fixed rate of twelve percent (12.00%) per annum. Interest shall accrue from and including the date of
this Agreement to but excluding the date on which the Principal Obligation Amount and all accrued interest thereon are paid in full or
forgiven, cancelled, and discharged. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve (12) 30-day months
(30/360 day-count convention). Payments made by the Escrow Agent in respect of the Senior Lender Priority Payment hereunder shall first
be applied to pay interest and then be applied to the Principal Obligation Amount. Upon the request of the Escrow Agent or the Securityholders’
Representative from time to time, the Senior Lender Representative shall provide written notice to the Escrow Agent and the Securityholders’
Representative confirming the amount of the Senior Lender Priority Payment then remaining unpaid (including the outstanding Principal
Obligation Amount and accrued interest thereon), and the amount so provided by the Senior Lender Representative shall be deemed accurate
absent manifest error.
Until
the Senior Lender Priority Payment is repaid in full, the Senior Lender Representative may, from time to time (but no more frequently
than once per calendar month), deliver to the Escrow Agent a written instruction signed by an Authorized Representative of the Senior
Lender Representative (each such instruction, a “Monthly Disbursement Instruction”) directing the Escrow Agent
to pay and deliver to the Senior Lender Representative, on a date specified in such Monthly Disbursement Instruction (which date shall
not be earlier than the third Business Day following the Escrow Agent’s receipt of such Monthly Disbursement Instruction) (the
“Specified Payment Date”), an amount equal to the lesser of (x) all amounts on deposit in the Escrow Account
as of the Specified Payment Date and (y) the aggregate balance of the Senior Lender Priority Payment then outstanding (including the
outstanding Principal Obligation Amount and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon as of the Specified Payment Date). The Escrow Agent
shall effect each such disbursement on the Specified Payment Date. Each Monthly Disbursement Instruction shall set forth the Senior Lender
Representative’s good-faith calculation of the accrued balance of the Senior Lender Priority Payment as of the date of such instruction,
including the outstanding Principal Obligation Amount and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and the amount so stated shall be
deemed accurate absent manifest error. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on each Monthly Disbursement Instruction
without independent investigation, inquiry, or verification, and shall have no liability to any Party for acting in accordance therewith.
The failure of the Senior Lender Representative to deliver a Monthly Disbursement Instruction in any given month shall not constitute
a waiver of the Senior Lender Representative’s right to deliver a Monthly Disbursement Instruction in any subsequent month, nor
shall it limit, impair, or otherwise prejudice any rights of the Senior Lender Representative or the Senior Lenders under this Escrow
Agreement or any other agreement. Amounts held in the Escrow Account in excess of the balance of the Senior Lender Priority Payment shall
be retained in the Escrow Account and applied by the Escrow Agent at the direction of the Securityholders’ Representative in accordance
with the order of priority set forth in this Section 1.4. For the avoidance of doubt, the Escrow Agent shall have no obligation
or duty to disburse any portion of the Escrow Account in respect of the Senior Lender Priority Payment absent receipt of a Monthly Disbursement
Instruction delivered in accordance with this paragraph, and no disbursement in respect of the Senior Lender Priority Payment shall be
made without such written instruction. The Senior Lender Priority Payment shall be deemed paid and satisfied, in whole or in part as
applicable, upon the Escrow Agent’s wire transfer or other remittance of funds to the account designated by the Senior Lender Representative
in Schedule I hereto (or such other account as the Senior Lender Representative may designate by written notice to the Escrow
Agent), and the Senior Lender Representative shall have no obligation to return or refund any amounts so received. Interest on the Principal
Obligation Amount shall cease to accrue on any portion thereof on the date such portion is received by the Senior Lender Representative.
5
The
Senior Lender Representative shall provide written notice to the Escrow Agent within three (3) Business Day following the date on which
the Senior Lender Priority Payment has been satisfied in full. Within one (1) Business Day following receipt of such notice, the Escrow
Agent shall provide written notice to the Broker that the Senior Lender Priority Payment has been satisfied in full and that the Broker
shall cease selling SKYX Shares in accordance with Section 1.3(b). For the avoidance of doubt, the Escrow Agent’s obligation
to notify the Broker under this provision shall be solely contingent upon, and shall arise only upon, receipt by the Escrow Agent of
the Senior Lender Representative’s written notice of satisfaction, and the Escrow Agent shall have no independent duty to monitor
or determine whether the Senior Lender Priority Payment has been satisfied.
Following
the complete discharge of the Senior Lender Priority Payment, the Securityholders’ Representative shall direct the Escrow Agent
to apply the Escrow Property in the following order of priority (clauses (i) through (ii) below are referred to collectively as the “Priority
Claims”) before distribution of any Escrow Property to the Contingent Beneficiaries (as defined below) following the Determination
Date (as defined below):
(i)
first, the Escrow Agent shall return to SKYX, SKYX Shares with an aggregate value of $1,500,000 (based on the Reference Price (as defined
in the Merger Agreement)) for cancellation by SKYX, to the extent that there are sufficient SKYX Shares remaining in the Escrow Account
after satisfaction of the Senior Lender Priority Payment; provided, however, that such return shall be conditioned upon
SKYX having theretofore or concurrently therewith delivered $1,500,000 in cash to Deako (or its designee) to fund the obligations under
the Retention Plan (as defined in the Merger Agreement); and
(ii)
second, to satisfy any undisputed indemnification claims of SKYX and its Parent Indemnitees (as defined in the Merger Agreement) submitted
to the Securityholders’ Representative in accordance with the Merger Agreement during the applicable survival periods set forth
in Section 8.01 thereof, which claims shall be satisfied solely from SKYX Shares and shall be valued at the VWAP Value (as defined
below) in accordance with Section 3.05(c) of the Merger Agreement; provided, that (A) no indemnification obligation of the Contingent
Beneficiaries under Section 8.02 of the Merger Agreement shall exceed the SKYX Shares then available to satisfy such indemnification
claims (valued at the VWAP Value in accordance with Section 3.05(c) of the Merger Agreement), (B) any indemnification claim for which
notice has been given in accordance with Section 8.05 of the Merger Agreement prior to the expiration of the relevant survival
period (each, an “Asserted Claim”) may continue to be asserted and indemnified against until finally resolved,
(C) no Asserted Claim that has not yet been finally determined as of the Determination Date shall delay or prevent the distribution of
the Residual to the Contingent Beneficiaries, and (D) the Securityholders’ Representative shall establish a reserve from the Escrow
Property in an amount reasonably estimated to be sufficient to satisfy any such pending Asserted Claims (based on the VWAP Value), which
reserve shall be released to the Contingent Beneficiaries to the extent such Asserted Claims are resolved or finally determined; provided,
further, that no indemnification claim submitted after the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in Section 8.01
of the Merger Agreement (and which does not constitute an Asserted Claim) shall constitute a Priority Claim hereunder.
6
The
Escrow Agent shall comply with any judgment or order issued, or process entered by any court with respect to the Escrow Property, including
without limitation any attachment, levy or garnishment (“Judgment”) without any obligation to determine such
court’s jurisdiction in the matter and in accordance with its normal business practices. If the Escrow Agent complies with any
such Judgment, then it shall not be liable to any Party or any other person by reason of such compliance, regardless of the final disposition
of any such Judgment. The Escrow Agent will furnish monthly statements to the Parties via the addresses set forth on Exhibit E
hereto.
For
purposes of this Escrow Agreement, “VWAP Value” means the volume-weighted average price of Parent Common Stock
on the NASDAQ over the fifteen (15) Trading Days ending on (and including) the date on which an Asserted Claim is resolved or finally
determined.
Section
1.5 Allocation and Distribution of Residual. On the date that is the later of (i) forty-five (45) days following the date on which
the Senior Lender Priority Payment has been satisfied in full and (ii) the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date
(such date, the “Determination Date”), the remaining SKYX Shares in the Escrow Account shall be allocated to
the Contingent Beneficiaries in accordance with the allocation methodology set forth in the Consideration Spreadsheet attached hereto
as Schedule II (the “Consideration Spreadsheet”). Subject to retention of such amounts as the Securityholders’
Representative determines are needed to wind up and terminate this Escrow Agreement, and any reserve established pursuant to Section
1.4(ii), the Escrow Agent shall, upon the instruction of the Securityholders’ Representative, distribute the SKYX Shares and
any other Escrow Property then remaining in the Escrow Account (the “Residual”) to the Contingent Beneficiaries
and/or with respect to certain employees, to Deako for further distribution via its payroll processor (net of applicable withholding),
as applicable, in a single distribution promptly following the Determination Date. For purposes of this Escrow Agreement: (i) “Contingent
Beneficiaries” means the former securityholders of Deako entitled to receive a share of the Residual in accordance with
Schedule II; and (ii) “Trading Day” means any day on which the NASDAQ is open for trading.
Section
1.6 Security Procedure for Funds Transfer. Concurrent with the execution of this Escrow Agreement, the Parties shall deliver to
the Escrow Agent exhibits in the form of Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2 to this Escrow Agreement listing individuals of such
Party who are authorized to provide the Escrow Agent with a written instruction to distribute the Escrow Property from the Escrow Account
and any other written instruction permitted pursuant to the terms of this Escrow Agreement (each an “Authorized Representative”).
Each Party understands and agrees that the Escrow Agent shall have no obligation or duty to act upon a written instruction for the disbursement
of Escrow Property under this Escrow Agreement if such written instruction is not signed by an Authorized Representative of such Party
and such written instruction is not delivered to, and able to be authenticated by, the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.
The Escrow Agent shall follow internal policies and procedures for when confirming the validity or authenticity of funds transfer instructions
received in the name of the Parties, which may include a callback to one or more of the Authorized Representatives in Exhibit A-1,
Exhibit A-2, and Exhibit A-3, in particular if the wire instructions included on Schedule I hereto have changed.
Once delivered to the Escrow Agent, Exhibit A-1, Exhibit A-2, or Exhibit A-3 may be revised or rescinded only in
writing signed by an Authorized Representative of the Party. Such revisions or rescissions shall be effective only after actual receipt
and following such period of time as may be necessary to afford the Escrow Agent a reasonable opportunity to act on it. If a revised
Exhibit A-1, Exhibit A-2, or Exhibit A-3 or a rescission of an existing Exhibit A-1, Exhibit A-2,
or Exhibit A-3 is delivered to the Escrow Agent by an entity that is a successor-in-interest to either party, such document shall
be accompanied by additional documentation satisfactory to the Escrow Agent showing that such entity has succeeded to the rights and
responsibilities of the Party in question. The Parties understand that the Escrow Agent’s inability to receive or confirm funds
transfer instructions may result in a delay in accomplishing such funds transfer, and agree that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable
for any loss caused by any such delay. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing Section 1.6 or otherwise included
herein, unless and until the Senior Lender Priority Payment is paid in full, the Escrow Agent will not rely on or honor any written instruction
related to the distribution of the Escrow Property from the Escrow Account from SKYX or the Securityholders’ Representative which
in any way alters Section 1.3 or Section 1.4 unless such written instruction is otherwise agreed to by the Senior Lender
Representative and to the extent any such instruction is requested, received and/or delivered to the Escrow Agent without the Senior
Lender Representative consent, the Parties agree that the terms of Section 1.3 and Section 1.4 will continue to control
no matter what such instructions stipulate and the Escrow Agent may not rely on such instructions.
7
Section
1.7 Tax Reporting. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, for United States federal, state and local income tax purposes, except
as required by applicable law, SKYX shall be treated as the owner of the SKYX Shares held pursuant to this Escrow Agreement (and of any
dividends, distributions, interest, or other income, if any, paid or accrued thereon while held in the Escrow Account) until such shares
are sold or otherwise distributed in accordance with the terms hereof (including application and distribution of the dividends, distributions,
interest, or other income paid or accrued on such Escrow Property while held in the Escrow Account). No Party shall take any position
on any tax return or in any tax proceeding that is inconsistent with this Section 1.7, unless otherwise required by applicable
law. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that (i) the Escrow Account is a non-interest-bearing account, (ii) any payments or distributions
made pursuant to this Escrow Agreement by SKYX or the Escrow Agent do not constitute a “reportable payment” or “withholdable
payment” by SKYX or the Escrow Agent under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”),
and (iii) neither SKYX nor the Escrow Agent shall be deemed a payor for information reporting purposes under the Code with respect to
any payments or distributions made pursuant to the Escrow Agreement such that neither shall have any responsibility for preparing or
conducting any tax reporting under the Code with respect to such payments or distributions. The Escrow Agent’s engagement is purely
ministerial in nature and conducted upon receipt of written direction from the Parties, and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely
conclusively and without further inquiry on such written direction.
Section
1.8 Covenants of SKYX.
(a)
Registration and Listing. SKYX hereby covenants and agrees, for the benefit of the Senior Lender Representative, that it shall
(i) use reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,

following the Closing Date with respect to the SKYX Shares and to thereafter use reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement and the listing of the SKYX Shares on the NASDAQ until the date on which the Senior Lender Priority Payment
has been indefeasibly paid in full).
(b)
Merger Agreement Amendments. Until the Senior Lender Priority Payment has been indefeasibly paid in full, without the prior written
consent of the Senior Lender Representative, SKYX shall not amend, modify, supplement, waive or terminate any provision of the Merger
Agreement, or consent to any amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or termination thereof, in each case to the extent that the
rights of, or benefits to, the Senior Lenders or Senior Lender Representative would actually be adversely affected thereby. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, each of the following shall be deemed to adversely affect the rights of, or benefits to, the Senior
Lenders or Senior Lender Representative and shall require the prior written consent of the Senior Lender Representative for purposes
of this Section 1.8: Any amendment, modification, restatement, supplement, waiver or termination of, any consent to a departure
from, or any other action, arrangement, side letter or agreement having the purpose or effect of amending, modifying, supplementing,
waiving or otherwise altering, whether directly or indirectly and regardless of its form, structure or characterization, any provision
of the Merger Agreement that relates to any of the following matters, in each case as set forth in the Merger Agreement:
(i)
the timing, amount or manner of issuance or delivery of the SKYX Shares;
8
(ii)
the listing of the SKYX Shares on the NASDAQ or the maintenance of such listing;

Senior Lender Regulatory Filings. SKYX shall reimburse the Senior Lenders for all reasonable and documented legal fees, filing
fees and related expenses incurred by the Senior Lenders in connection with any filings required to be made by the Senior Lenders under
Sections 13 or 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or any other reporting or disclosure obligation imposed on the Senior Lenders under applicable federal or state securities Laws, in each
case arising from the Senior Lenders’ beneficial ownership of the SKYX Shares and the transactions contemplated by this Escrow
Agreement and the Trading Plan; provided that the aggregate amount of such reimbursement shall not exceed $25,000 without the prior written
consent of SKYX. SKYX shall make each such reimbursement within ten (10) days following receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice from
the Senior Lender Representative.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 1.8, the covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 1.8 are
made solely for the benefit of the Senior Lender Representative and shall not create or impose any duty, obligation or liability on the
part of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility to monitor, enforce or inquire into SKYX’s compliance with
this Section 1.8.
Section
1.9 Amendments to Trading Plan. The Senior Lender Representative shall not amend, modify, supplement, terminate, adopt or consent
to any amendment, modification, supplement or termination of the Trading Plan without the prior written consent of SKYX.
Section
1.10 Representations and Covenants of Senior Lenders. The Senior Lender Representative has delivered to SKYX a completed and executed
Senior Lender Acknowledgment, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, from each Senior Lender. The representations, warranties,
acknowledgments and covenants set forth in each such questionnaire are made by the applicable Senior Lender solely as to itself, and
not by the Senior Lender Representative on behalf of any Senior Lender.
9
Section
1.11 Transfers of Contingent Beneficiary Interests. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in accordance
with applicable law, a Contingent Beneficiary may assign or transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Residual (a) by will,
intestacy or other laws of descent and distribution, (b) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, (c) to a trust or other estate
planning vehicle established for the benefit of such Contingent Beneficiary and/or such Contingent Beneficiary’s Family Group,
or (d) if such Contingent Beneficiary is not a natural person, to an Affiliate of such Contingent Beneficiary in connection with a bona
fide internal reorganization, restructuring, recapitalization or similar transaction that does not result in a change in the ultimate
beneficial ownership of such interest. Any transferee shall take such interest subject to all of the terms, conditions and restrictions
of this Agreement applicable to the transferred interest. No such transfer shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless and
until the Securityholders’ Representative receives written notice thereof and such documentation as the Securityholders’
Representative may reasonably request which may include, for the avoidance of doubt, a medallion guarantee or other documentation to
support such Contingent Beneficiary’s signature and capacity to assign its interest hereunder. Upon receipt of such notice and
documentation, the Securityholders’ Representative may amend or update the Consideration Spreadsheet and Schedule II to
reflect the applicable successor beneficiary and corresponding interest, and no amendment to this Agreement shall be required in connection
therewith. Thereafter, the Securityholders’ Representative, SKYX and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on
the Consideration Spreadsheet and Schedule II, as updated by the Securityholders’ Representative from time to time, and
may treat the applicable transferee as the Contingent Beneficiary with respect to the transferred interest for all purposes of this Agreement.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Family Group” means, with respect to any natural person, such person’s
spouse, domestic partner, former spouse, former domestic partner, fiancée, parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, children,
grandchildren, great-grandchildren, siblings, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, lineal descendants and ascendants, and any adopted
persons, step-relatives, spouses or domestic partners of any of the foregoing.

Section
2.1 Scope of Responsibility. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Escrow Agent is obligated only to perform the
duties specifically set forth in this Escrow Agreement, which shall be deemed purely ministerial in nature. Under no circumstances will
the Escrow Agent be deemed to be a fiduciary to any Party or any other person under this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent will not
be responsible or liable for the failure of any Party to perform in accordance with this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall neither
be responsible for, nor chargeable with, knowledge of any default under this Escrow Agreement, the terms and conditions of any other
agreement, including but not limited to the Merger Agreement, instrument, or document other than this Escrow Agreement, whether or not
a copy of such agreement has been provided to the Escrow Agent; and the Escrow Agent shall have no duty to know or inquire as to the
performance or nonperformance of any provision of any such agreement, instrument, or document. References in this Escrow Agreement to
any other agreement, instrument, or document are for the convenience of the Parties, and the Escrow Agent has no duties or obligations
with respect thereto. This Escrow Agreement sets forth all matters pertinent to the escrow contemplated hereunder, and no additional
covenants or obligations of the Escrow Agent shall be inferred or implied from the terms of this Escrow Agreement or any other agreement.

to be taken by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the advice of counsel or other professionals retained or consulted by the Escrow Agent.

expenses and other costs) paid and/or reimbursed to such counsel and/or professionals. The Escrow Agent may perform any and all of its
duties through its agents, representatives, attorneys, custodians, and/or nominees and shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions
of such agents, representatives, attorneys, custodians and/or nominees appointed with due care.

liable for acting or refraining from acting upon any notice, request, consent, direction, requisition, certificate, order, affidavit,
letter, or other paper or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper
person or persons, without further inquiry into the person’s or persons’ authority.
Section
2.4 Right Not Duty Undertaken. The permissive rights of the Escrow Agent to do things enumerated in this Escrow Agreement shall
not be construed as duties and, with respect to such permissive rights, the Escrow Agent shall not be answerable for other than its gross

PROVISIONS
CONCERNING THE ESCROW AGENT
Section
3.1 Indemnification. The Parties hereby agree, severally and not jointly, to defend, release and indemnify the Escrow Agent, its
directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), and hold the Indemnified
Parties harmless from any and against all liabilities, losses, actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity, and any other expenses,
fees or charges of any character or nature (whether brought by any Party or third-party) (including, without limitation, reasonable and
documented attorney’s fees and expenses and the costs of enforcement of this Escrow Agreement, the indemnifications provided herein,
or any provision thereof) which an Indemnified Party may incur or with which it may be threatened by reason of acting as or on behalf
of the Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement or arising out of the existence of the Escrow Account, except to the extent the same
shall have been finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been directly caused by the Indemnified Parties’
gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Escrow Agent shall have a first lien against the Escrow Account to secure the obligations
of the Parties hereunder and the Escrow Property shall be the first source of Escrow Agent’s recovery hereunder. The terms of Section
3.1 and Section 3.2 shall survive termination of this Escrow Agreement and/or the earlier resignation or removal of the Escrow
Agent.
Section
3.2 Limitation of Liability. THE ESCROW AGENT SHALL NOT BE LIABLE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FOR ANY (I) DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES
ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER, OTHER THAN DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES WHICH HAVE BEEN FINALLY ADJUDICATED BY A COURT
OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE DIRECTLY RESULTED FROM THE ESCROW AGENT’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR (II) SPECIAL,
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS),
EVEN IF THE ESCROW AGENT AND THE PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF
ACTION.
11
Section
3.3 Termination, Resignation or Removal. This Escrow Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the
disbursement of the entire Escrow Property in accordance with this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent may resign by furnishing written
notice of its resignation to the Parties, specifying the date upon which such resignation shall take effect, and the Parties, acting
unanimously, may remove the Escrow Agent by furnishing to the Escrow Agent a joint written notice of its removal, specifying the date
upon which such removal shall take effect, along with payment of all fees and expenses to which it is entitled through the effective
date of such resignation or removal. Such resignation or removal, as the case may be, shall be effective thirty (30) calendar days after
the delivery of such notice or upon the earlier appointment of a successor, and the Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility thereafter
shall be to safely keep the Escrow Property and to deliver the same to a successor escrow agent as shall be appointed by the Parties,
as evidenced by a joint written notice filed with the Escrow Agent or in accordance with a court order. If the Parties have failed to
appoint a successor escrow agent prior to the expiration of thirty (30) calendar days following the delivery of such notice of resignation
or removal, the Escrow Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent or for
other appropriate relief, and any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon the Parties.
Section
3.4 Compensation. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to compensation for its services as stated in the fee schedule attached hereto
as Exhibit B, which compensation shall be paid by SKYX upon the deposit of funds into the Escrow Account. The Escrow Agent shall
have, and is hereby granted, a prior lien upon the Escrow Property with respect to its unpaid fees, non-reimbursed expenses and unsatisfied
indemnification rights, superior to the interests of any other persons or entities and is hereby granted the right to set off and deduct
any unpaid fees, non-reimbursed expenses and unsatisfied indemnification rights from the Escrow Property; provided, however, that any
such unpaid fees, non-reimbursed expenses and unsatisfied indemnification rights shall first be satisfied from the Expense Fund (as defined
in the Merger Agreement). The terms of this paragraph shall survive termination of this Escrow Agreement and/or the earlier resignation
or removal of the Escrow Agent.
Section
3.5 Disagreements. If any conflict, disagreement or dispute arises between, among, or involving any of the parties hereto concerning
the meaning or validity of any provision hereunder or concerning any other matter relating to this Escrow Agreement, or the Escrow Agent
is in doubt as to the action to be taken hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall be fully protected and may, at its option, retain the Escrow
Property until the Escrow Agent (i) receives a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing delivery of
the Escrow Property, (ii) receives a written agreement executed by each of the parties involved in such disagreement or dispute directing
delivery of the Escrow Property, in which event the Escrow Agent shall be authorized to disburse the Escrow Property in accordance with
such final court order or agreement, or (iii) files an interpleader action in any court of competent jurisdiction, and upon the filing
thereof, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all liability as to the Escrow Property and shall be entitled to recover attorneys’
fees, expenses and other costs incurred in commencing and maintaining any such interpleader action. The Parties hereto further agree
to pursue any redress or recourse in connection with such dispute without making the Escrow Agent a party to the same. The Escrow Agent
shall be entitled to act on any such agreement or court order without further question, inquiry, or consent.
Section
3.6 Merger or Consolidation. Any corporation or association into which the Escrow Agent may be converted or merged, or with which
it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust business and assets as a
whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation
or transfer to which the Escrow Agent is a party, shall be and become the successor escrow agent under this Escrow Agreement and shall
have and succeed to the rights, powers, duties, immunities and privileges as its predecessor, without the execution or filing of any
instrument or paper or the performance of any further act.
12
Section
3.7 Attachment of Escrow Property; Compliance with Legal Orders. In the event that any Escrow Property shall be attached, garnished
or levied upon by any court order, or the delivery thereof shall be stayed or enjoined by an order of a court, or any order, judgment
or decree shall be made or entered by any court order affecting the Escrow Property, the Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized,
in its sole discretion, to respond as it deems appropriate or to comply with all writs, orders or decrees so entered or issued, or which
it is advised by legal counsel of its own choosing is binding upon it, whether with or without jurisdiction. In the event that the Escrow
Agent obeys or complies with any such writ, order or decree it shall not be liable to any of the Parties or to any other person, firm
or corporation, should, by reason of such compliance notwithstanding, such writ, order or decree be subsequently reversed, modified,
annulled, set aside or vacated. Escrow Agent shall receive and may conclusively rely upon an opinion of counsel.
Section

FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, SKYX Platforms Corp. (the “Maker”), a Florida corporation, hereby promises

modified from time to time in accordance with its terms and the terms of this Note, the “Merger Agreement”),
pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Deako, with Deako surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Maker; and
WHEREAS,
pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Maker has agreed to pay to the Holder $12,500,000 on behalf of Deako, with $2,000,000 paid in cash

the Closing Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (the “Initial Payment Date”),
and the remaining $6,250,000 of the Principal Amount shall be due and payable on the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date
(or, if such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (the “Maturity Date”). All payments

(5.00%), payable on demand. Interest shall accrue from and including the Issuance Date to but excluding the date on which the Principal
Amount and all accrued interest thereon are paid in full or forgiven, cancelled, and discharged. Interest shall be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year consisting of twelve (12) 30-day months (30/360 day-count convention).
3. Events
of Default; Acceleration. The occurrence of any one or more of the following conditions or events shall constitute an “Event
of Default”:

to in any other provision of this Section 3, and such default shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after the earlier of (i)
an officer of the Maker becoming aware of such default or (ii) written notice of such default shall have been received by the Maker from
the Holder hereof;
(c) if
the Maker shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they
become due;
(d) if
the Maker shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or shall file any petition

substantial part of its properties, such appointment shall not have been vacated;
(f) any

(h) one
or more final judgments or orders for the payment of money in an aggregate amount in excess of $1,000,000 shall be rendered against the
Maker and shall remain unpaid, undischarged, unvacated, unstayed or unbonded for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days after entry
thereof;
(i) any
person or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) shall have
acquired beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the SEC thereunder) of 50% or more of the outstanding
voting equity interests of the Maker; or the Maker shall have consummated any merger, consolidation or similar business combination transaction

writing that it has any further liability hereunder, or (iii) the Maker shall contest the validity or perfection of any lien in any Collateral

and (y) the Holder may exercise any and all of its other rights and remedies under applicable law or at equity.
2
4. Security
Agreement.
(a) Grant
of Security Interest. To secure the prompt payment and performance in full of all obligations of the Maker hereunder to the Holder
and its assigns, the Maker hereby grants to the Holder and its assigns a continuing security interest in and lien on all of the Maker’s
right, title and interest in, to and under all personal property of the Maker, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or
arising and wherever located, including, without limitation, the following (collectively, the “Collateral”):
(i) All
accounts, accounts receivable, contract rights, general intangibles related to or arising from any account, debit balances, notes, documents,
chattel paper, instruments, acceptances, drafts or other forms of obligations and receivables of the Maker arising from the sale or lease
of inventory or rendition of services by the Maker, or on behalf of the Maker, in the ordinary course of its business or otherwise (all
of the foregoing being herein collectively called “Accounts”), and all proceeds therefrom including without
limitation, proceeds of insurance thereon and all guaranties, supporting obligations, securities, and liens which the Maker may hold
for the payment of any Accounts, including without limitation, all rights of stoppage in transit, replevin and reclamation and all other
rights and remedies of unpaid vendor or lienor, and any liens held by the Maker as a mechanic, contractor, subcontractor, processor,
materialman, machinist, manufacturer, artisan, or otherwise.
(ii) All
documents, instruments, documents of title, policies and certificates of insurance, guaranties, securities, chattel paper, deposit accounts,
investment property, letter-of-credit rights, money, deposits, proceeds of insurance, cash, liens or other property relating to Accounts
and owned by the Maker or in which the Maker has an interest, which are now or may hereafter be in the possession of the Maker or as
to which the Maker may now or hereafter control possession by documents of title or otherwise.
(iii) All
of the Maker’s tangible property of whatever nature or description, now or hereafter used, owned or held, including without limitation
all furniture, fixtures, equipment, inventory and supplies.
(iv) All
of the Maker’s intangible property of whatever nature or description, including without limitation, all general intangibles, payment
intangibles, software, intellectual property, trade names, trademarks, service marks, computer programs (including source code and object
code), patents and copyrights now owned or hereafter acquired.
(v) All
books and records relating to any of the foregoing, and all renewals, substitutions, replacements, additions, accessions, proceeds, and
products of any and all the foregoing.
The
Maker’s grant of such security interests to the Holder shall secure the payment and performance of the indebtedness, obligations
and liabilities of the Maker to the Holder pursuant to this Note, including all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal and other
professional fees incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Note by Holder.
(b) First-Priority
Lien. The security interest granted to the Holder hereunder shall constitute a first-priority lien on and security interest in the
Collateral, subject in priority only to those liens and security interests in the Collateral that (i) exist as of the Issuance Date and
(ii) are specifically described under the heading “Senior Permitted Liens” on Schedule 4(b) attached hereto (“Senior
Permitted Liens”). The liens and security interests described under the heading “Existing Subordinated Liens”
on Schedule 4(b) shall constitute permitted liens hereunder but shall remain subordinate in priority to the security interest granted
to the Holder hereunder in accordance with their terms (“Junior Permitted Liens”). The liens described under
both such headings are collectively referred to herein as the “Permitted Liens”. The Maker shall not create,
incur, assume or permit to exist any lien or security interest in the Collateral other than the Permitted Liens unless such lien or security
interest is expressly subordinate to the security interest granted to the Holder hereunder.
3
(c) The
Maker hereby agrees that the Holder shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as applicable
to the Collateral. The Maker agrees that at any time, and from time to time, at the request of the Holder, the Maker shall execute and
deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) any and all such further instruments and/or documents (including without limitation,
UCC-1 financing statements) as the Holder may consider reasonably necessary or desirable in order to effectuate, complete, perfect or
preserve and maintain the lien created hereby. Upon any failure by the Maker to do so, the Holder may make, execute, record, file, re-record
or refile any and all such instruments and documents for and in the name of the Maker; the Maker hereby irrevocably appoints the Holder
as the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Maker to do so; and the Maker shall reimburse the Holder, on demand, for all costs and expenses
incurred by the Holder in connection therewith, such amount being added to the indebtedness arising under the Note.
(d) The
security interest created hereunder shall terminate upon the payment in full by the Maker to the Holder of any and all indebtedness,
obligations and liabilities arising from, or in any way related to, the Note.
(e) Events
of Default; Acceleration of Maturity. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such
Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree
or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any governmental authority), then, in addition to the remedies provided for
elsewhere in this Note and without limitation thereof, at the option of the Holder exercised by written notice to the Maker and subject
to the rights of holders of Permitted Liens, the Holder may (A) foreclose the liens and security interests created under this Note or
under any other agreement relating to the Collateral, by any available judicial process, (B) enter any premises where any of the Collateral
may be located for the purpose of taking possession or removing the same, and (C) sell, assign, lease or otherwise dispose of the Collateral
or any part thereof, either at public or private sale or at any broker’s board, in lots or in bulk, for cash, on credit or otherwise,
with or without representations or warranties, and upon such terms as shall be acceptable to the Holder, all at the sole option of the
Holder and as the Holder, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable and to the extent permitted by law, the Holder may bid or become
a purchaser at any such sale, and the Holder shall have the right, at its option, to apply or be credited with the amount of all or any
part of the obligations owing by the Maker to the Holder under this Note, against the purchase price bid by the Holder at any such sale.
The net cash proceeds resulting from the collection, liquidation, sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral (including, without
limitation a sale where the Holder is the purchaser) shall be applied first to the expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and
other professional fees) of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing the Collateral for sale, selling, collecting, liquidating
and the like, and then to the satisfaction of all such obligations, application as to particular obligations or against principal or
any interest to be in the sole discretion of the Holder. The Holder shall give the Maker at least ten (10) days’ prior written
notice of the time and place of any public sale of Collateral.
(f) Suits
for Enforcement. In case any one or more of the Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holder may proceed to
protect and enforce rights of the Holder either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both, whether for the specific performance
of any covenant or agreement in this Note or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Note, including without limitation,
possession or foreclosure on the Collateral securing the Note, or the Holder may proceed to enforce the payment of the Note or to enforce
any other legal or equitable right of the Holder.
(g) Remedies
Cumulative. No remedy herein conferred upon the Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every such remedy
shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
by statute or otherwise.
(h) Remedies
Not Waived. No course of dealing between the Maker and the Holder and no delay in exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as
a waiver of any rights of the Holder.
(i) Notice
of Action of Claimed Defaults. If a holder of other obligations of the Maker shall give any notice of a claimed default or event
of default (as those terms may be defined in the relevant documentation) or shall take any other action with respect to a claimed default
or event of default, immediately upon obtaining knowledge thereof, the Maker shall give the Holder written notice specifying such action
and the nature and status of the claimed default or event of default.
4
5. Representations
and Warranties. The Maker represents and warrants to the Holder that:
(a) The
Maker is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Florida and has all requisite power
and authority to own its property and conduct its business and to execute and deliver, and perform under, this Note.
(b) The
execution, delivery and performance by the Maker of this Note have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and this Note
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Maker, enforceable against the Maker in accordance with its terms, subject
to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general
principles of equity.
(c) The
execution, delivery and performance by the Maker of this Note do not violate the Maker’s organizational documents, any applicable
law or any material agreement binding on the Maker, and no consent, approval, authorization or filing is required in connection therewith
other than those obtained or made or those contemplated by this Note.
(d) The
Maker has good and marketable title to, or valid rights in, the Collateral sufficient to grant the security interest contemplated hereby,
free and clear of all liens other than Permitted Liens, and the security interest granted to the Holder in the Collateral is a valid
and enforceable security interest, subject to the perfection and priority steps contemplated by this Note.
(e) No
action, suit, investigation or proceeding is pending or, to the Maker’s knowledge, threatened against the Maker that could reasonably
be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the Maker’s ability to perform its obligations under this Note or on the
validity, enforceability, perfection or priority of the security interest granted to the Holder, and the Maker is in compliance in all
material respects with applicable laws and required permits.
(f) All
written information furnished by or on behalf of the Maker to the Holder in connection with this Note is true and correct in all material
respects and does not omit any material fact necessary to make such information, in light of the circumstances in which it was furnished,
not misleading; and the Maker has filed all material tax returns required to be filed and paid all material taxes when due, except those
being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings with adequate reserves.
(g) Each
Junior Permitted Lien is subordinate in lien priority and in right of payment to the security interest granted to the Holder hereunder
and the obligations of the Maker under this Note.
6. Affirmative
Covenants. Until all amounts payable under this Note have been paid in full, the Maker shall perform all covenants in this Section:
(a) The
Maker shall at all times preserve and maintain its corporate existence, rights, franchises, licenses and permits material to its business
and maintain its property in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

SKYX
and Deako Management will Hold a Conference Call Today, September 10, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time, to Discuss Merger Aspects. See
below for dial-in information.
MIAMI,
September 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SKYX Platforms Corp. (NASDAQ: SKYX) (d/b/a SKYX Technologies) (the “Company”
or “SKYX”), an award winning highly disruptive advanced safe-smart home and AI platform technology company with over 100
U.S. and global pending and issued patents and a portfolio of 60 lighting and home décor websites, with a mission to make homes
and buildings become advanced, safe and smart instantly as the new standard, today announced it has signed a merger agreement with U.S.
AI smart home Silicon Valley backed company Deako Inc., aiming to lead the AI smart home, builder and hotel markets with their combined
plug and play smart home and AI platform technologies.
Merger
Agreement Highlights and Economics
● Deako
Inc. is a smart home AI platform and intelligent lighting company with 20 U.S. and global
patents and patent pending applications for plug & play advanced, smart home and AI activated
lighting wall switches.
● The
merger agreement between SKYX and Deako will enable SKYX to address from A-to-Z the smart
electronic real estate of electrical outlet boxes in homes and buildings including wall outlets,
wall switches and ceiling outlet boxes for smart home and safety products, lighting, ceiling
fans, smoke detectors, among others, all with advanced and smart home plug & play solutions.
● Most
smart home solutions today require time-consuming and costly wired installation and address
only part of the A-to-Z opportunity, while the SKYX Deako merger is aiming to facilitate
an entire A-to-Z solution, all plug & play for advanced, smart home AI platforms and
products.
● Based
on SKYX technology’s safety aspects, during the past years its safe instant plug &
play ceiling outlet receptacle system has received vote approvals from U.S. leading building
safety standardization organizations including 10 segments in the NFPA-NEC code book (National
Fire Protection Association / National Electrical Code) and its technology’s specifications
received an approval vote by ANSI/NEMA as a standard.
● In
the past 5 years Deako has shipped over 32 million units of its technologies including its
smart home plug-in wall switches, with over $26 million in revenue in 2025.
● Deako
is a leading technology supplier to the builder market with over 50 U.S. builders, including
D.R. Horton, Toll Brothers, Risewell Homes, Adams Homes, Maronda Homes, Shea Homes, Schumacher
Homes, among others.
● The
merger is expected to fast track SKYX’s technologies and products into Deako’s
vast builder market footprint of over 50 U.S. builders, including those named above. Additionally,
the merger will open the door for Deako’s products into SKYX projects including Marriott
and European hotels, Miami’s $4 billion Smart City, among others.
● The
SKYX Deako merger is expected to increase Deako’s SKU count to the builder, hotel and
pro markets five-fold.
● Why
are all cars smart while 90% of homes are not? The main reason and barrier are the complexity,
time consuming, costly and rigorous wiring installation. The SKYX Deako merger provides an
instant smart home safe plug & play solution for homes, buildings, hotels among others.
● The
merger is expected to provide deployment opportunities of millions of combined products into
the builder, hotel and pro market and future recurring revenue opportunities from plug &
play product interchangeability, AI services, monitoring, subscriptions, licensing,
among others.
● The
merger will enable significant cost saving synergies including overhead consolidation in
software, accounting, general administration, sourcing, efficiency optimization and other
benefits.
● Deako’s
Founder and CEO is Derek Richardson, former sales leader in prominent tech companies Blackberry
and Cypress. Derek will remain CEO of Deako and will lead SKYX’s growth including to
the builder, hotel, and pro markets.
● Deako’s
Board members include Paul Jacobs (former Qualcomm Chairman and CEO), Marwan Fawaz (former
CEO of Nest), and Executive Chairman, Scott Vertrees.
● As
consideration for the merger SKYX will issue common stock, equal to 18.46% of the Company,
totaling 25,000,000 shares subject to up to a 2-year lockup/leak out agreement (1-year full
lock up, in addition to 9-12 months leak out) with Rule 10b5-1 trading plan.
● Post
merger, current SKYX’s shareholders will own 84.4% of the Company and Deako’s
shareholders and lender collectively will own 15.6%.
● In
addition, SKYX will pay Deako’s lender a payment of $4M by closing and issue a note
of $8.5M, with $2.25M paid in Q-1 2027, and the remaining $6.25M in Q-4 2027.
● The
merger will expand the collective patent portfolio where SKYX has over 100 patents and pending
applications and Deako with 20 patents and patent pending applications to over 120 patents
and patent pending applications, related to platforms, smart home, AI and plug & play
products.
Paul
Jacobs, Deako Board Member, former Chairman and CEO of Qualcomm, said: “Throughout my career, I have been deeply involved in building
ecosystems and platforms to integrate diverse capabilities into smartphones and other devices. The merger of SKYX Platforms and Deako
brings together two synergistic platforms for the home. To date, the smart home has advanced slowly device by device. SKYX combines its
position at the ceiling, its all-in-one smart home hub and AI platform and its safe plug & play ceiling outlet receptacle, with Deako’s
wall receptacle, intelligent switches and more than 32 million products already shipped into homes. Together they provide the electronic
real estate of homes, buildings and hotels, where power, control, sensing and AI intelligence will naturally live. This merger can drive
the new standard for safe, smart and AI intelligent homes.”
Marwan
Fawaz, Deako Board Member and former CEO of Nest, said: “Smart home solutions have historically been overly complicated to bring
to market; they need an easier and more intuitive consumer experience. The combination of SKYX and Deako provides a broad array of products
to solve these complex and challenging problems in the home with innovation, simplicity, and safety in mind. Going forward, the combined
companies will work in tandem with the large technology/AI providers to capitalize on the tsunami of innovation coming to the intelligent
home experience.”
Steve
Schmidt, President of SKYX and former CEO of A.C. Nielsen, said: “We are excited about the SKYX Deako merger. I strongly
believe that our combined plug & play platform technologies with vast electronic real estate and endless offerings including home
safety sensors, smart home sensors, AI intelligence and much more will be game-changing for the smart home, building and hotel industries.
Working with Rani for many years, I would emphasize that this merger and its growth potential really demonstrate how Rani’s vision,
and business acumen are as unique as his inventing capabilities.”
Derek
Richardson, CEO and Founder of Deako Inc., said: “We are very excited for our merger with SKYX and its game-changing platform technologies,
including its all-in-one smart home and AI platform technology, as well as its plug & play ceiling outlet receptacle platform that
was voted by ANSI / NEMA and NFPA – NEC based on its significant safety aspects. The smart home is won or lost at the moment a
house is being built — that’s why we built Deako for the builder channel first. As the intelligent home emerges, the electronic
real estate inside a house becomes critical infrastructure, and the ceiling and the wall are everything. Joining SKYX pairs what we’ve
built at the wall with what they’ve built at the ceiling that maximizes performance of smart home products and gives builders one
complete, plug-and-play solution instead of a collection of parts.”
Rani
Kohen, Founder and Executive Chairman of SKYX Platforms, said: We
are very excited for our merger with Deako and its team members. We strongly believe that the SKYX Deako combined platform technologies,
patent portfolio, and collective teams, will significantly grow our market penetration in the builder, hotel and pro market and will
offer future additional recuring revenue opportunities from plug & play product upgrades, AI services, monitoring, subscriptions,
licensing, among others. The SKYX-Deako merger and its terms provide tremendous value validation of our technologies, including our vast
global patent portfolio and our safety-related building code approvals by NFPA-NEC and ANSI/NEMA, while also delivering significant value
to our shareholders.

its products and technologies; the Company’s ability to raise additional capital to support its operations as needed, which may
not be available on acceptable terms or at all; the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern; the Company’s ability
to execute on any sales and licensing or other strategic opportunities; the possibility that any of the Company’s products will
become National Electrical Code (NEC)-code or otherwise code mandatory in any jurisdiction, or that any of the Company’s current
or future products or technologies will be adopted by any state, country, or municipality, within any specific timeframe or at all; risks
arising from mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and other collaborations; the Company’s ability to attract and retain key executives
and qualified personnel; guidance provided by management, which may differ from the Company’s actual operating results; the potential
