Chairman of the Board of Directors (the Board) of the Company so long as he is with the
Company, with no additional compensation, subject to any required approvals.
The McMillen Agreement provides for an annual base salary of $350,000, effective June 1, 2011,

for a one-time special bonus in an amount equal to $726,665 on the earlier of (i) December 31,
2011, and (ii) change of control of the Company (as such term is defined in the McMillen
Agreement). The special bonus shall be reduced by the amount of principal and interest now owed by
Mr. McMillen, as a result of his stepping in as guarantor of the obligations of Secure America
Acquisition Holdings LLC (Secure) pursuant to that certain promissory note, dated June 1,
2007, by and between the Company and Secure, which is now in default (the Note). The
Company is also obligated to waive all events of default and amend the maturity date under the Note

The agreement is terminable by the Company for cause or upon ninety days prior written notice
without cause and by Mr. McMillen for good reason (as such terms are defined in the McMillen
Agreement) or upon ninety days prior written notice without good reason. If the Company terminates
Mr. McMillen without cause or Mr. McMillen terminates his employment for good reason during the
term of employment, then the Company will pay Mr. McMillen: (i) an amount equal to one year of his

coverage pursuant to COBRA until the date that is one year following the termination date or until
Mr. McMillen is eligible for comparable coverage with a subsequent employer, whichever occurs
first, and (vi) any accrued, but unpaid compensation prior to the termination. If the Company
terminates Mr. McMillen without cause or Mr. McMillen terminates his employment for good reason
following the expiration date, then the Company will pay Mr. McMillen: (i) an amount equal to one
year of his base salary at the rate in effect as of the termination date, and (ii) any accrued, but
unpaid compensation prior to the termination.
