Section 6.2.  Other Collateral.  In addition to the Collateral referred to in Section 6.1 above, the Obligations shall also be secured by all of the other items of Property from time to time described in the Financing Orders or any of the Security Documents as security for all of the Obligations and all such Property
shall be subject to Liens in favor of Lender to the same extent and with the same priority as in Section 6.3 below.

Section 6.3.  Priority of Lender’s Liens on Collateral.

(a)            Senior Liens.  Pursuant to Section 364(c)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, Lender shall have automatic and valid and perfected first priority senior security interests in and Liens upon all Property, including all Collateral, that, as of the Petition Date, is
not subject to valid, perfected and non-avoidable liens.

(b)           Junior Liens.  Pursuant to Section 364(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, Lender shall be granted automatic and valid and perfected junior security interests in and Liens upon all Property, including all Collateral, that is subject to valid, perfected and non-avoidable
liens in existence on the Petition Date, subject to the following modification:  Borrower has informed and represented to Lender that its Property (which may include some or all of the Collateral) is subject to existing security interests and liens in favor of (i) the Ted Marek Defined Benefit Pension Plan, December 23, 1993 and effective January 1, 1994, for debt in the approximate amount of $169,585.86 (“Marek Secured Debt”) and (ii) Perry D. Logan and Rosario Logan for debt in the approximate
amount of $399,216.04 (“Logan Secured Debt”).  Borrower has also disclosed the existence of debt owed Toyota America in the approximate amount of $9,000 which debt is also secured by existing security interests and liens.  Other than the Marek Secured Debt, the Logan Secured Debt and the Toyota America secured debt Borrower represents and warrants that there is no other existing secured debt.  To facilitate the financing extended by Lender under this Agreement, each of the foregoing
existing secured creditors (except Toyota), and to the extent necessary Borrower, waive any benefit of § 364(c)(3) and consent to the subordination of the Marek Secured Debt and the Logan Secured Debt, and all security interests and liens on the Borrower’s Property (which includes all Collateral and which specifically includes all patents and patents pending) arising from or related thereto, to the Obligations owed or to be owed and the Liens granted
or to be granted Lender pursuant to this Agreement.  It is the intent and purpose of this subordination to place Lender’s secured interest in the Borrower’s Property (including all Collateral and specifically including all patents and patents pending) over and above any existing secured interest or lien arising from or related to the Marek Secured Debt and the Logan Secured Debt so that Lender shall have a first, senior and superior priority secured interest in and on all of Borrower’s
Property (which includes all Collateral and specifically includes all patents and patents pending) to the full extent of the Obligations herein.

Section 6.4.  Lien Perfection; Further Assurances. Pursuant to the terms of the Financing Orders, the Lien and security interest of Lender in and to all Collateral described herein or in any other Security Document shall be perfected automatically and without further action by Lender.
No filing or registration of any kind shall be required in order to perfect the Liens granted herein or in any other Security Document. Nevertheless, Lender may elect, from an abundance of caution and in order to remove uncertainty, to file or record all such financing statements, mortgages, security agreements, fixture filings or other evidences of perfection as Lender may deem appropriate, and no such filing or recording shall in any manner alter, diminish or otherwise limit the automatic perfection of all
Liens granted by the Financing Orders. Promptly after Lender’s request therefor, Borrower shall execute or cause to be executed and deliver to Lender such instruments, assignments, title certificates, financing statements or other documents as are necessary under the UCC or other Applicable Law (including any motor vehicle certificates of title act) to perfect (or continue the perfection of) Lender’s Lien upon the Collateral, and shall take such other action as may be requested by Lender to give effect
to or carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.  Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file any financing statement which may be necessary under the UCC or other Applicable Law. The parties agree that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed in any appropriate office in lieu thereof.

Section 6.5.  Superpriority Claim. Lender shall be deemed to have an allowed superpriority administrative expense claim (the “Superpriority Claim”) in an amount equal to all Obligations pursuant to Section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code over all other administrative expenses in the Chapter 11 case of the kind
specified or arising or ordered pursuant to Sections 105, 326, 328, 330, 331, 503(a), 503(b), 506(c), 507(a), 507(b), 726 or 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Superpriority Claim shall not attach to any Avoidance Claims or any Avoidance Proceeds.

Section 6.6.  Conversion Rights Applicable to Final Post-Confirmation Funding.  At Lender’s option, debt owing under the Final Post-Confirmation Funding may be converted into preferred stock of the Borrower.  Lender’s preferred series of convertible stock shall have dividend preference (cumulative
or accrued dividend equal to 10% per annum), liquidation preference, anti-dilution rights, and conversion rights to common at a ratio based on the ten (10) day moving average of the closing price of SKYE securities (Symbol:  SKYI) for the period prior to a call for conversion with a floor of $0.20/share and a ceiling of $0.25/share. Anti-dilution provision will provide rights only to purchase any offering in an amount
sufficient to retain then current equity participation.

Section 6.7.  Further Subordination.  All existing unsecured debt Borrower owes to the Steven G. Mihaylo Trust (As Restated) dated December 13, 2001 (“Mihaylo Trust”) and/or Steven G. Mihaylo (“Mihaylo”) shall have equal priority with the Marek Secured Debt and the Logan Secured Debt.

Section 6.8.  Waiver of Section 506(c) Waiver. In no event shall any costs or expenses of administration be imposed upon Lender or any of the Collateral pursuant to Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise without the prior written consent of Lender and no such consent shall be implied from any action, inaction
or acquiescence by Lender.  The Financing Order(s) shall provide for the survival of this provision upon any conversion of this Chapter 11 case to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code and shall bind any trustee appointed in such Chapter 7 case.

Section 6.9.  Modification of Automatic Stay.  The automatic stay provisions of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code will be lifted and terminated as to the Lender to the extent necessary to implement the provisions of this Agreement, the Interim Financing Order and the Loan Documents, thereby permitting Lender, inter
alia, to file or record any UCC-1 financing statements, mortgages, deeds of trust, security deeds and other instruments and documents evidencing or validating the perfection of the Liens granted to Lender and to enforce such Liens upon default subject to any prior notice provisions of the Financing Orders.

COLLATERAL ADMINISTRATION

Section 7.1.  General Provisions.

(a)           Locations of Collateral.  All tangible items of Collateral, other than Inventory in transit, shall at all times be kept by Borrower at one or more of the business locations of Borrower existing as of the date hereof and shall not be moved therefrom, other
than for sales in the Ordinary Course of Business, and storage/warehouse without the prior written approval of Lender, except that prior to an Event of Default and acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations in consequence thereof, Borrower may (i) make sales or other dispositions of any Collateral to the extent authorized by Section 7.4(b) hereof and (ii) move Inventory or any record relating to any Collateral to a location in the United States other than those locations at which Collateral is located as
of the date hereof, so long as Borrower has given Lender, at least ten (10) days prior written notice of such new location.

(b)           Insurance of Collateral; Condemnation Proceeds. Borrower shall maintain and pay for insurance upon all Collateral, wherever located, covering casualty, hazard, public liability, and such other risks in such amounts and with such insurance companies
as are reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All proceeds payable under each such policy shall be payable to Lender for application to the Obligations. Borrower shall deliver the originals or certified copies of such policies to Lender with loss payable endorsements reasonably satisfactory to Lender, naming Lender as sole loss payee, assignee or additional insured, as appropriate. Each policy of insurance or endorsement shall contain a clause requiring the insurer to give not less than thirty (30) days prior written
notice to Lender in the event of cancellation of the policy for any reason. If Borrower fails to provide and pay for such insurance, Lender may, at its option, but shall not be required to, procure the same and charge Borrower therefor. Borrower agrees to deliver to Lender, promptly as rendered, true copies of all reports made in any reporting forms to insurance companies. For so long as no Event of Default exists and is continuing, Borrower shall have the right to settle, adjust and compromise any claim with
respect to any insurance maintained by Borrower provided that all proceeds thereof are applied in the manner specified in this Agreement, and Lender agrees promptly to provide any necessary endorsement to any checks or drafts issued in payment of any such claim. At any time that an Event of Default exists and is continuing, only Lender shall be authorized to settle, adjust and compromise such claims. Lender shall have all rights and remedies with respect to such policies of insurance as are provided for in this
Agreement and the other Financing Documents.

(c)           Protection of Collateral. All expenses of reasonably protecting, storing, warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping any Collateral, all Taxes imposed under any Applicable Law on any of the Collateral or in respect of the sale thereof, and all other
payments required to be made by Lender to any Person to realize upon any Collateral shall be borne and paid by Borrower. If Borrower fails to pay promptly any portion thereof when due, Lender may, at its option, but shall not be required to, pay the same and charge Borrower therefor. Lender shall not be liable or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any of the Collateral or for any loss or damage thereto (except for reasonable care in the custody thereof while any Collateral is in Lender’s actual
possession) or for any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or default of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, or other Person whomsoever, but the same shall be at Borrower’s sole risk.

(d)           Defense of Title to Collateral.  Borrower shall at all times defend its title to the Collateral and Lender’s Liens therein against all Persons and all claims and demands whatsoever.

Section 7.2.  Administration of Accounts.

Section 11.6.  Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver.

(a)           All covenants, conditions, provisions, warranties, guaranties, indemnities, and other undertakings of Borrower in this Agreement and the Financing Documents, or in any document referred to herein or contained in any agreement supplementary hereto or in any schedule
given to Lender or contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower, heretofore, concurrently, or hereafter entered into, shall be deemed cumulative to and not in derogation or substitution of any of the terms, covenants, conditions, or agreements of Borrower herein contained. The rights and remedies of Lender under this Agreement and Financing Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that Lender would otherwise have.

(b)           The failure or delay of Lender to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of any of the Financing Documents or to exercise or enforce any rights, Liens, powers or remedies under any of the Financing Documents or with respect to any Collateral shall
not operate as a waiver of such performance, Liens, rights, powers and remedies, but all such requirements, Liens, rights, powers, and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until all Loans and all other Obligations owing or to become owing from Borrower to Lender shall have been fully satisfied. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of Borrower contained in this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents and no Event of Default by Borrower under this
Agreement or any other Financing Documents shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Lender, unless such suspension or waiver is by an instrument in writing specifying such suspension or waiver and is signed by a duly authorized representative of Lender and directed to Borrower.

(c)           If Lender shall accept performance by Borrower, in whole or in part, of any obligation that Borrower is required by any of the Financing Documents to perform only when a Default or Event of Default exists, or if Lender shall exercise any right or remedy under any
of the Financing Documents that may not be exercised other than when a Default or Event of Default exists, Lender’s acceptance of such performance by Borrower or Lender’s exercise of any such right or remedy shall not operate to waive any such Event of Default or to preclude the exercise by Lender of any other right or remedy, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by Lender, as the case may be.
