COLIN J. CUMMING EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”), effective as of April 17, 2009 (the
“Effective Date”), is by and between ICx Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), and
Colin J. Cumming (“Employee”).

1. Duties and Scope of Employment

(a) Positions and Duties. Employee shall serve as the President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company. Employee shall render such business and
professional services in the performance of his duties, consistent with
Employee’s position within the Company, as shall reasonably be assigned to him
by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). In connection with his
employment under this Agreement, Employee shall continue to serve as a member of
the Board. Employee shall not receive any additional compensation in connection
with his service on the Board, and if Employee is elected or appointed to be a
director or officer of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, he shall
serve in such capacity or capacities without additional compensation.

(b) Term. Subject to Section 2 hereof, the period of Employee’s employment under
this Agreement (the “Term”) shall continue from the Effective Date until
April 30, 2013.

(c) Obligations. During the Term, Employee will perform his duties faithfully
and to the best of his ability and shall devote his full business efforts and
time to performing such duties. Except with respect to those organizations and
businesses listed set forth on Exhibit 4 hereto to which Employee devotes a
nominal amount of his time, Employee agrees not to actively engage in any other
employment, occupation or consulting activity for any direct or indirect
remuneration without the prior written approval of the Board.

2. At-Will Employment. The parties agree that Employee’s employment with the
Company is “at-will” employment and may be terminated at any time with or
without cause or notice by either party. Employee understands and agrees that
neither his job performance nor promotions, commendations, bonuses or the like
from the Company give rise to or in any way serve as the basis for modification,
amendment, or extension, by implication or otherwise, of his employment with the
Company.

3. Confidentiality. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement and
at any time that the Company may request, Employee agrees to execute and comply
with an agreement substantially in the form of the ICx Technologies, Inc. At
Will Employment, Confidential Information, Non-Competition, and Invention
Assignment Agreement attached as Exhibit A, as amended from time to time (the
version thereof in effect as of any date being known as the “Supplemental
Agreement”). The Supplemental Agreement, upon its execution and during the term
of its effectiveness, is incorporated herein by reference.

4. Compensation.

(a) Base Salary. During the Employment Term, the Company will pay Employee as
compensation for his services base salary at an annual rate of $350,000 (the
“Base Salary”); provided, however, that in the event that Hans Kobler ceases to
be employed as Executive Chairman by the Company, and Employee’s duties increase
to include substantially all of the duties previous performed by the Executive
Chairman, the Base Salary shall increase to $400,000 from and after such time.
The Base Salary will be paid periodically in accordance with the Company’s
normal payroll practices and be subject to the usual, required withholding.

(b) Bonuses.

(i) Employee shall be eligible to receive an annual cash bonus which shall be
determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board in its sole discretion.

(ii) The Company shall have the right to condition the payment of any bonus
amounts on Employee signing a document reasonably acceptable to the Company
(and, to the extent of any material revisions to the form of Supplemental
Agreement attached hereto, Employee) pursuant to which Employee confirms,
ratifies and agrees that this Agreement and the Supplemental Agreement, and all
of their respective provisions, are valid and binding and are enforceable
against Employee in accordance with their terms.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. Stock Grants.

(a) Issuance. On the Effective Date and at the option price of $5.00 per share
Employee shall be issued Non-Qualified Stock Options exercisable for 350,000
shares of common stock of the Company, subject to vesting under the terms of
Section 5(b) and (c) (the “Options”). The Company shall not issue any fractional
Option Shares but shall round the Option Shares up to the nearest whole number.

(b) Vesting. Except as set forth in Section 5(c), the Options shall qualify for
vesting in 48 equal monthly installments at the end of each calendar month
beginning on the Effective Date. Any Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) held by
Employee as the Effective Date shall continue to vest in accordance with the
vesting schedule set forth in the applicable restricted stock agreement pursuant
to which such RSUs were granted.

(c) Termination; Change of Control.

(i) Except as set forth in subsection (ii) of this Section 5(c), if Employee’s
employment terminates for any reason, the unvested Options and any RSUs held by
Employee shall cease vesting (A) in the event of termination pursuant to
Section 9(a), as of the expiration of the Severance Term (as defined below) and
(B) in the event of termination pursuant to Section 9(b), as of the date of such
termination, and in each case, any unvested Options and RSUs held by Employee
shall be immediately forfeited to the Company.

(ii) In the event of a Change of Control transaction (as defined below) and:

(A) Employee is (I) not offered employment by a successor entity on the same
economic terms as set forth in this Agreement (provided that the title of
Employee may be different than President and Chief Executive Officer) (a
“Comparable Offer”), or (II) is offered employment by a successor entity, but
such employment would provide Employee with Good Reason to terminate his
employment under Sections 10(d)(i), (ii) or (iii), all unvested Options and RSUs
held by Employee shall vest effective as of the closing date of the Change of
Control transaction (the “Change of Control Date”);

(B) Employee is offered, but opts not to accept a Comparable Offer, and such
failure to accept is not for a Good Reason pursuant to Sections 10(d)(i),
(ii) or (iii), then all unvested Options and RSUs held by Employee shall cease
vesting effective as of the Change of Control Date and any unvested Options and
RSUs held by Employee shall be immediately forfeited to the Company; and

(C) Employee is offered and accepts a Comparable Offer, then the vesting of
unvested Options and RSUs held by Employee shall continue in accordance with
Section 5(b) and all unvested Options and RSUs shall accelerate and be fully
vested on the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Change of Control Date;
provided, however that if Employee is terminated without Cause by the successor
entity (or any successor thereto) at or prior to the twelve (12) month
anniversary of the Change of Control Date, all unvested Options and RSUs held by
Employee shall vest immediately effective as of such date of termination of
Employee.

(d) Exercise. The vested Options shall be exercisable until the six (6) month
anniversary of the date of termination of Employee.

6. Employee Benefits. During the Term, Employee will be entitled to participate
in the employee benefit plans currently and hereafter maintained by the Company
of general applicability to other comparable employees of the Company. The
Company reserves the right to cancel or change the benefit plans and programs it
offers to its employees at any time. In addition, during the Term, in lieu of
the Company paying any premiums on that certain Northwest Mutual life insurance
policy and the Zurich/Chase life insurance policy no. FK3322090, each of which
Employee is a beneficiary of, the Company shall pay Employee $22,000 per annum
(to be paid periodically in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll
policies) and the Company shall transfer to Employee such life insurance
policies.

7. Vacation. Employee will be entitled to paid vacation of four (4) weeks per
year in accordance with the Company’s vacation policy, with the timing and
duration of specific vacations mutually and reasonably agreed to by the parties
hereto.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8. Expenses. The Company will reimburse Employee for reasonable travel,
entertainment or other expenses incurred by Employee in the furtherance of or in
connection with the performance of Employee’s duties hereunder, in accordance
with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy as in effect from time to time.

9. Severance. Upon termination of employment for any reason, Employee shall
receive payment of (i) his Base Salary, as then in effect, earned but unpaid
through the date of termination of employment and (ii) all accrued vacation,
expense reimbursements and any other benefits (other than severance benefits,
except as provided below) due to Employee through the date of termination of
employment in accordance with established Company plans and policies or
applicable law (the “Accrued Obligations”). In addition, the following will
apply:

(a) Involuntary Termination or Resignation for Good Reason. If (i) the Company
terminates Employee’s employment with the Company for reasons other than Cause,
death or Disability, or (ii) Employee resigns for Good Reason, then, subject to
Employee’s compliance with Section 9(d), Employee shall be entitled to receive
continuing payments of severance pay (less applicable withholding taxes) at a
rate equal to his Base Salary rate, for a period of the lesser of six (6) months
from the date of such termination or until April 30, 2013 (herein after the
“Severance Term”), to be paid periodically in accordance with the Company’s
normal payroll policies. If Employee accepts other employment or engages in his
own business prior to the last date of the Severance Term, Employee shall
forthwith notify the Company, but such other activity shall not diminish the
Company’s obligation under this Section 9(a); provided that if Employee
continues to be employed in any capacity by a successor entity following a
Change of Control, the severance pay that would otherwise be payable under this
Section 9(a) shall be reduced by the amount of base compensation and guaranteed
bonus (if any) Employee receives in such capacity during or attributable to the
Severance Term.

(b) Voluntary Termination; Termination for Cause. If Employee’s employment with
the Company terminates (i) voluntarily by Employee for other than Good Reason,
or (ii) for Cause by the Company, then Employee will only be eligible for his
Accrued Obligations.

(c) Termination by Death or Disability. If Employee’s employment is terminated
by Disability or death, Employee or Employee’s estate as the case may be shall
be entitled to receive only the Accrued Obligations.

(d) Conditions to Receive Severance Package. Except for the Accrued Obligations,
the severance payments described in this Section 9 will be provided to Employee
only if the following conditions are satisfied: (i) Employee agrees to continue
to be bound by and complies with all surviving provisions of the Supplemental
Agreement and any other confidentiality or proprietary rights agreement signed
by Employee; and (ii) Employee executes and delivers to the Company, and does
not revoke, a full general release, in a form acceptable to the Company,
releasing all claims, known or unknown, that Employee may have against the
Company, and any Subsidiary or related entity, their officers, directors,
employees and agents, arising out of or any way related to Employee’s employment
or termination of employment with the Company.

10 Definitions.

(a) Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” is defined as (i) an act of

contendere to, any felony or a misdemeanor involving fraud or dishonesty,
(iii) Employee’s gross misconduct, (iv) Employee’s material breach of this
Agreement or the Supplemental Agreement, or (v) Employee’s continued failure to
perform his employment duties after Employee has received a written demand for
performance from the Company setting forth the Company’s belief that Employee
has not substantially performed his duties.

(b) Change of Control. For purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control” is
defined as the occurrence of any one of the following events taking place during
the Term of this Agreement:

(i) any “person” (as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and as used in Sections 13(d)(3) and
14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act is or becomes a “beneficial owner” (as defined in
Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the
Company representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s
then outstanding securities eligible to vote for the election of the Board;
provided, however, that the event described in this paragraph (i) shall not be
deemed to be a Change in Control by virtue of any of the following acquisitions:
(A) by the Company or any subsidiary, (B) by any employee benefit plan sponsored
or maintained by the Company or any subsidiary, (C) by any underwriter
temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities,
(D) by Employee or any group of persons including Employee, and (E) by DPC or
its affiliates;

(ii) the consummation of (A) the sale, conveyance, exchange, license or other
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, (B) any

merger own less than a majority of the voting securities of the surviving
entity, or (C) any transaction or series of related transactions following which
the Company’s stockholders before such transaction or series of related
transactions own less than a majority of the voting securities of the Company
(not including a transaction with the primary purpose of raising capital); or

(iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or
dissolution of the Company.

(c) Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means Employee
being unable or unwilling to perform the principal functions of his duties due
to a physical or mental impairment, but only if such inability has lasted or is
reasonably expected to last for at least 120 calendar days of any twelve month
period. Whether Employee has a Disability will be determined by the Company
based on evidence provided by one or more physicians reasonably selected by the
Board or its designee.

(i) a reduction in Employee’s Base Salary; (ii) a material diminution in
Employee’s position, duties, or authority; provided that Employee’s termination
as either President or Chief Executive Officer, but not his termination as both
President and Chief Executive Officer shall not be considered a material

of this Agreement; (iii) required relocation of Employee to a location that is
outside a 50-mile radius of the Stillwater, Oklahoma office; (iv) a Change of
Control of the Company pursuant to which Employee is not offered a Comparable

however, that before Employee may claim Good Reason for such material breach,
Employee must give written notice to the Company of the basis of his
determination of such breach and the Company may, within 20 days after its

or other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase, merger or
otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires all or substantially all of the
assets or business of the Company. None of the rights of Employee to receive any
form of compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement may be assigned or
transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Company
shall have the right to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement
to any affiliate. Any other attempted assignment, transfer, conveyance or other
disposition of Employee’s right to compensation or other benefits will be null

of my employment with the Company and my receipt of the compensation now and
hereafter paid to me by Company, I agree to the following:

1. At-Will Employment.

I UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MY EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY IS FOR AN
UNSPECIFIED DURATION AND CONSTITUTES “AT-WILL” EMPLOYMENT. I ALSO UNDERSTAND
THAT ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNAUTHORIZED AND NOT VALID UNLESS
OBTAINED IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY AN EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF THE COMPANY OTHER THAN
EMPLOYEE (AN “EXECUTIVE OFFICER”). I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS EMPLOYMENT
RELATIONSHIP MAY BE TERMINATED AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT GOOD CAUSE OR FOR
ANY OR NO CAUSE, AT THE OPTION EITHER OF THE COMPANY OR MYSELF, WITH OR WITHOUT
NOTICE.

2. Confidential Information.

A. Company Information. I agree at all times during the term of my employment
and thereafter, to hold in strictest confidence, and not to use, except for the
benefit of the Company to fulfill my employment obligations, or to disclose to
any person, firm or corporation without written authorization of the Board of
Directors of the Company (the “Board”), any Confidential Information of the
Company. I understand that “Confidential Information” means any non-public
information that relates to the actual or anticipated business or research and
development of the Company, technical data, trade secrets or know-how,
including, but not limited to, research, product plans or other information
regarding Company’s products or services and markets therefor, customer lists
and customers (including, but not limited to, customers of the Company on whom I
called or with whom I became acquainted during the term of my employment),
software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs,
drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing, finances
or other business information. I further understand that Confidential
Information does not include any of the foregoing items which have become
publicly known and made generally available through no wrongful act of mine or
of others who were under confidentiality obligations as to the item or items
involved or improvements or new versions thereof.

B. Former Employer Information. I agree that I will not, during my employment
with the Company, improperly use or disclose any proprietary information or
trade secrets of any former or concurrent employer or other person or entity and
that I will not bring onto the premises of the Company any unpublished document
or proprietary information belonging to any such employer, person or entity
unless consented to in writing by such employer, person or entity.

C. Third Party Information. I recognize that the Company has received and in the
future will receive from third parties their confidential or proprietary
information subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the
confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited
purposes. I agree to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in
the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person, firm or
corporation or to use it except as necessary in carrying out my work for the
Company consistent with the Company’s agreement with such third party.

3. Inventions.

A. Inventions Retained and Licensed. I have attached hereto, as Exhibit 1, a
list describing all inventions, original works of authorship, developments,
improvements, and trade secrets which were made by me prior to my employment
with the Company (collectively referred to as “Prior Inventions”), which belong
to me,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

which relate to the Company’s proposed business, products or research and
development, and which are not assigned to the Company hereunder; or, if no such
list is attached, I represent that there are no such Prior Inventions. If in the
course of my employment with the Company, I incorporate into a Company product,
process or service a Prior Invention owned by me or in which I have an interest,
I hereby grant to the Company a nonexclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up,
irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license to make, have made, modify, use and
sell such Prior Invention as part of or in connection with such product, process
or service, and to practice any method related thereto.

B. Assignment of Inventions. I agree that I will promptly make full written
disclosure to the Company, will hold in trust for the sole right and benefit of
the Company, and hereby assign to the Company, or its designee, all my right,
title, and interest in and to any and all inventions, original works of
authorship, developments, concepts, improvements, designs, discoveries, ideas,
trademarks or trade secrets, whether or not patentable or registrable under
copyright or similar laws, which I may solely or jointly conceive or develop or
reduce to practice, or cause to be conceived or developed or reduced to
practice, during the period of time I am in the employ of the Company
(collectively referred to as “Inventions”). I further acknowledge that all
original works of authorship which are made by me (solely or jointly with
others) within the scope of and during the period of my employment with the
Company and which are protectible by copyright are “works made for hire,” as
that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act. I understand and agree
that the decision whether or not to commercialize or market any invention
developed by me solely or jointly with others is within the Company’s sole
discretion and for the Company’s sole benefit and that no royalty will be due to
me as a result of the Company’s efforts to commercialize or market any such
invention.

C. Inventions Assigned to the United States. I agree to assign to the United
States government all my right, title, and interest in and to any and all
Inventions whenever such full title is required to be in the United States by a
contract between the Company and the United States or any of its agencies.

D. Maintenance of Records. I agree to keep and maintain adequate and current
written records of all Inventions made by me (solely or jointly with others)
during the term of my employment with the Company. The records will be in the
form of notes, sketches, drawings, and any other format that may be specified by
the Company. The records will be available to and remain the sole property of
the Company at all times.

E. Patent and Copyright Registrations. I agree to assist the Company, or its
designee, at the Company’s expense, in every proper way to secure the Company’s
rights in the Inventions and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other
intellectual property rights relating thereto in any and all countries,
including the disclosure to the Company of all pertinent information and data
with respect thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths,
assignments and all other instruments which the Company shall deem necessary in
order to apply for and obtain such rights and in order to assign and convey to
the Company, its successors, assigns, and nominees the sole and exclusive
rights, title and interest in and to such Inventions, and any copyrights,
patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating
thereto. I further agree that my obligation to execute or cause to be executed,
when it is in my power to do so, any such instrument or papers shall continue
after the termination of this Agreement. If the Company is unable because of my
mental or physical incapacity or for any other reason to secure my signature to
apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents
or copyright registrations covering Inventions or original works of authorship
assigned to the Company as above, then I hereby irrevocably designate and
appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and
attorney in fact, to act for and in my behalf and stead to execute and file any
such applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the
prosecution and issuance of letters patent or copyright registrations thereon
with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me.

4. Conflicting Employment. Subject to the terms of the Employment Agreement, I
agree that, during the term of my employment with the Company, I will not engage
in any other employment, occupation or consulting for any direct or indirect
remuneration, nor will I engage in any other activities that conflict with my
obligations to the Company without the prior written approval of the Board.

5. Returning Company Documents. I agree that, at the time of leaving the employ
of the Company, I will deliver to the Company (and will not keep in my
possession, recreate or deliver to anyone else) any and all devices, records,
data, notes, reports, proposals, lists, correspondence, specifications, drawings
blueprints, sketches, materials, equipment, other documents or property, or
reproductions of any aforementioned items developed by me

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

pursuant to my employment with the Company or otherwise belonging to the
Company, its successors or assigns, including, without limitation, those records
maintained pursuant to Section 3.D. In the event of the termination of my
employment, I agree to sign and deliver the “Termination Certification” attached
hereto as Exhibit 2.

6. Notification of New Employer. In the event that I leave the employ of the
Company, I hereby grant consent to notification by the Company to my new
employer about my rights and obligations under this Agreement.

7. Nonsolicitation. I agree that for a period of six (6) months immediately
following the termination of my employment relationship with the Company for any
reason, whether with or without cause, I shall not either directly or indirectly
hire any employees of the Company or solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any
of the Company’s employees to leave their employment, or take away such
employees, or attempt to solicit, induce, recruit, encourage or take away
employees of the Company, either for myself or for any other person or entity. I
also agree that for a period of six (6) months immediately following the
termination of my employment relationship with the Company for any reason, I
will not directly or indirectly solicit, divert or accept business from, or
otherwise take away or interfere with, any customer or vendor of the Company,
including any person or entity who was a customer or whose business was being
pursued by the Company on or prior to the date upon which my employment
relationship with the Company terminated.

8. Conflict of Interest Guidelines. I agree to diligently adhere to the Conflict
of Interest Guidelines attached as Exhibit 3 hereto.

9. Noncompete Agreement.

A. During the term of my employment with the Company and for the lesser of six
(6) months immediately following the termination of my employment relationship
with the Company and the remainder of the Term of my Employment Agreement for
any reason or any other amount of time as determined by the Company in
accordance with the terms of my Employment Agreement thereafter (the “Noncompete
Period”), I will not, directly or indirectly, for myself or any third party
other than on behalf of the Company, without the prior written consent of the
Company:

(1) engage in the “Geographic Area” (as defined below) as an employee, agent,

(2) have any ownership interest (except for passive ownership of one percent
(1%) or less) in any Competing Business whose securities have been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933 or Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction of the United States; or

(3) participate in the financing, operation, management, or control of, any
firm, partnership, corporation, entity, or business that engages or participates
in a Competing Business;

provided, however that the Company shall not unreasonably withhold its consent
to any of the foregoing (including, without limitation, any proposed activity
related to private equity investing) where (a) I request such consent in advance
in writing, (b) I disclose all relevant facts, and (c) my proposed activities
will not adversely affect the business of the Company in any material respect.

B. The “Geographic Area” shall mean anywhere in the world where Company conducts
business.

C. The covenants contained in the preceding paragraphs of this section shall be
construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each county, city, state,
or any similar subdivision in any Geographic Area. Except for geographic
coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed identical in terms to the
covenant contained in the preceding paragraphs. If, in any judicial proceeding,
a court refuses to enforce any of such separate covenants (or any part thereof),
then such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be eliminated from this
Agreement to the extent permitted by law and necessary to permit the remaining
separate covenants (or portions thereof) to be enforced. In the event that the
provisions of this section are deemed to exceed the time, geographic or scope
limitations permitted by applicable law, then such provisions shall be, to the
extent permitted by law, reformed to the maximum time, geographic or scope
limitations, as the case may be, permitted by applicable laws.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

D. I also acknowledge that the limitations of time, geography and scope of
activity agreed to in this noncompete agreement are reasonable because, among
other things, (i) the Company is engaged in a highly competitive industry,
(ii) I will have access to trade secrets and know-how of the Company, (iii) I
will be able to obtain suitable and satisfactory employment without violation of
this agreement, and (iv) these limitations are necessary to protect the trade
secrets, confidential information and goodwill of the Company.

E. I agree that it would be impossible or inadequate to measure and calculate
the Company’s damages from any breach of the covenants set forth in this section
entitled “Noncompete Agreement.” Accordingly, I agree that if I breach any
provision of this section, the Company will have available, in addition to any
other right or remedy otherwise available, the right to obtain an injunction
from a court of competent jurisdiction restraining such breach or threatened
breach and to specific performance of any such provision of this agreement. I
further agree that no bond or other security shall be required in obtaining such
equitable relief, nor will proof of actual damages be required for such
equitable relief. I hereby expressly consent to the issuance of such injunction
and to the ordering of such specific performance.

10. Representations. I agree to execute any proper oath or verify any proper
document required to carry out the terms of this Agreement. I represent that my
performance of all the terms of this Agreement will not breach any agreement to
keep in confidence proprietary information acquired by me in confidence or in
trust prior to my employment by the Company. I hereby represent and warrant that
I have not entered into, and I will not enter into, any oral or written
agreement in conflict herewith.

11. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications called for
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (i) on the date of
delivery if delivered personally, (ii) one (1) day after being sent by a well
established commercial overnight service, or (iii) four (4) days after being
mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, prepaid and
addressed to the parties or their successors at the following addresses, or at
such other addresses as the parties may later designate in writing:

ANY OTHER AGREEMENT REGARDING TRADE SECRETS, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, OR
NONSOLICITATION. BOTH PARTIES UNDERSTAND THAT ANY BREACH OR THREATENED BREACH OF
SUCH AN AGREEMENT WILL CAUSE IRREPARABLE INJURY AND THAT MONEY DAMAGES WILL NOT
PROVIDE AN ADEQUATE REMEDY THEREFOR AND BOTH PARTIES HEREBY CONSENT TO THE
ISSUANCE OF AN INJUNCTION. IN THE EVENT EITHER PARTY SEEKS INJUNCTIVE RELIEF,
THE PREVAILING PARTY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER REASONABLE COSTS AND ATTORNEYS
FEES.

14. Voluntary Nature of Agreement. I ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT I AM EXECUTING
THIS AGREEMENT VOLUNTARILY AND WITHOUT ANY DURESS OR UNDUE INFLUENCE BY THE

UNDERSTAND THE TERMS, CONSEQUENCES AND BINDING EFFECT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND
FULLY UNDERSTAND IT, INCLUDING THAT I AM WAIVING MY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
FINALLY, I AGREE THAT I HAVE BEEN PROVIDED AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEEK THE ADVICE OF
AN ATTORNEY OF MY CHOICE BEFORE SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT.

15. General Provisions.

A. Governing Law; Consent to Personal Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be
governed by the laws of the State of New York. I hereby expressly consent to the

B. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Employment Agreement entered into in
connection herewith sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between

Officer of the Company and me. Any subsequent change or changes in my duties,
salary or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement.

Exhibit 3

ICX TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

It is the policy of ICX TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (the “Company”) to conduct its
affairs in strict compliance with the letter and spirit of the law and to adhere
to the highest principles of business ethics. Accordingly, all officers,
employees and independent contractors must avoid activities which are in
conflict, or give the appearance of being in conflict, with these principles and
with the interests of the Company. The following are potentially compromising
situations which must be avoided. Any exceptions must be reported to the Board
of Directors of the Company and written approval for continuation must be
obtained.

1. Revealing confidential information to outsiders or misusing confidential
information. Unauthorized divulging of information is a violation of this policy
whether or not for personal gain and whether or not harm to the Company is
intended. (The At Will Employment, Confidential Information, Non-Competition,
and Invention Assignment elaborates on this principle and is a binding
agreement.)

2. Accepting or offering substantial gifts, excessive entertainment, favors or
payments which may be deemed to constitute undue influence or otherwise be
improper or embarrassing to the Company.

3. Participating in civic or professional organizations that might involve
divulging confidential information of the Company.

4. Initiating or approving personnel actions affecting reward or punishment of
employees or applicants where there is a family relationship or is or appears to
be a personal or social involvement.

5. Initiating or approving any form of personal or social harassment of
employees.

6. Investing or holding outside directorship in suppliers, customers, or
competing companies, including financial speculations, where such investment or
directorship might influence in any manner a decision or course of action of the
Company other than an investment of less than 1% of a public company.

7. Borrowing from or lending to employees, customers or suppliers.

8. Acquiring real estate of interest to the Company.

9. Improperly using or disclosing to the Company any proprietary information or
trade secrets of any former or concurrent employer or other person or entity
with whom obligations of confidentiality exist.

10. Unlawfully discussing prices, costs, customers, sales or markets with
competing companies or their employees.

11. Making any unlawful agreement with distributors with respect to prices.

12. Improperly using or authorizing the use of any inventions which are the
subject of patent claims of any other person or entity.

13. Engaging in any conduct which is not in the best interest of the Company.

Each officer, employee and independent contractor must take every necessary
action to ensure compliance with these guidelines and to bring problem areas to
the attention of higher management for review. Violations of this conflict of
interest policy may result in discharge without warning.
