RELEASE AND WAIVER OF CLAIMS

In consideration of the benefits and mutual agreements set forth in the Change in Control
Agreement dated August 8, 2006 and the Transaction Incentive Agreement dated March 29, 2011 (the
“Agreements”), between GSI Commerce, Inc. (the “Company”) and Michael R. Conn (the “Employee”),
the Employee, intending to be legally bound, agrees to the following release and waiver (“Release
and Waiver”):

1. In exchange for the consideration provided to the Employee by the Agreements that the
Employee is not otherwise entitled to receive and the other commitments of the Company in the
Agreements, the Employee and his heirs, representatives, agents and attorneys hereby generally and
completely release the Company and its directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners,
agents, attorneys, predecessors, successors, parent and subsidiary entities, insurers, affiliates
and assigns from any and all claims, liabilities and obligations, both known and unknown, that
arise out of or are in any way related to events, acts, conduct or omissions occurring prior to the
Employee signing this Release and Waiver. This Release and Waiver includes, but is not limited to:
(1) all claims arising out of or in any way related to the Employee’s employment with the Company
or the termination of that employment; (2) all claims related to the Employee’s compensation or
benefits from the Company, including, but not limited to, salary, bonuses, commissions, vacation
pay, expense reimbursements, severance pay, fringe benefits, stock, stock options, or any other
ownership interests in the Company; (3) all claims for breach of contract, wrongful termination,
and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; (4) all tort claims, including,
but not limited to, claims for fraud, defamation, emotional distress, and discharge in violation of
public policy; and (5) all federal, state, and local statutory claims, including, but not limited
to, claims for discrimination, harassment, retaliation, attorneys’ fees, or other claims arising
under the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 (as amended), the federal Americans with Disabilities
Act of 1990, the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (as amended) (“ADEA”), the
Pennsylvania Human Relations Act, the Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act, and the Pennsylvania Wage
Payment and Collection Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Release and Waiver specifically
excludes any and all claims that the Employee may have in regard to (a) any severance or employment
obligations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to the Employee under the Agreements or any
other written agreement or arrangement between the Company or any of its subsidiaries and the
Employee arising as a result of the Employee’s termination of employment in connection with the
closing of the merger contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger between the
Company, eBay Inc. and Gibraltar Acquisition Corp (the “Merger”), including any bonus plan, benefit
plan and other agreement or arrangement, (b) any obligations of the Company or any of its

connection with the Merger under any written stock option agreement, restricted stock award
agreement, restricted stock unit award agreement or other equity award agreement evidencing an

indemnification obligations of Employer to the Employee as a former director (and in the case of
Intershop Communications, AG, a current director), officer and/or employee of the Company or any of

The Employee also acknowledges that he has read and understands Section 1542 of the California
Civil Code which reads as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor
does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known
by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” The Employee hereby expressly
waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits under that section and any law of any jurisdiction
of similar effect with respect to any claims he may have against the Company.

The Employee acknowledges that, among other rights, he is waiving and releasing any rights he
may have under ADEA, that this Release and Waiver is knowing and voluntary, and that the
consideration given for this Release and Waiver is in addition to anything of value to which he was
already entitled as an employee of the Company. The Employee further acknowledges that he has been
advised, as required by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, that: (a) the release and waiver
granted herein does not relate to claims under the ADEA which may arise after this Release and
Waiver is executed; (b) he should consult with an attorney prior to executing this Release and
Waiver; (c) he has twenty-one (21) days in which to consider this Release and Waiver (although he
may choose voluntarily to execute this Release and Waiver earlier); (d) he has seven (7) days
following the execution of this Release and Waiver to revoke his consent to this Release and
Waiver; and (e) this Release and Waiver shall not be effective until the eighth day after he
executes this Release and Waiver and the revocation period has expired.

Notwithstanding the seven (7) day revocation period set forth above, the Company shall pay all
amounts described in Sections 2(a), (b) and (c) of the Separation Agreement between the Company and
the Employee, dated June 17, 2011 (the “Separation Agreement”), on the Termination Date (as defined
in the Separation Agreement) or on the next payroll date immediately following the Termination Date
(which the parties acknowledge is prior to the date on which this Release and Waiver will become
effective and enforceable), and if the Employee revokes this Release and Waiver prior to the date
on which this Release and Waiver becomes effective and enforceable, the Employee will be obligated
to immediately return the amounts received pursuant to Sections 2(a), (b) and (c) of the Separation
Agreement and the Employee further agrees that in the event the Employee fails to immediately
repay such amounts, the Company shall be permitted to offset any amount due to it pursuant to
Sections 2(a), (b) and (c) of the Separation Agreement against other amounts owed to the Employee
by the Company.

2. This Release and Waiver, including any referenced documents, constitute the complete, final
and exclusive embodiment of the entire agreement between the Company and the Employee with regard
to the subject matter hereof. The Employee is not relying on any promise or representation by the
Company that is not expressly stated herein. This Release and Waiver may only be modified by a

Exhibit 10.1

EXECUTION COPY

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (hereinafter this “Agreement”) is made this 27th day of May
2011 (the “Effective Date”) between Homeland Security Capital Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (hereinafter the “Company”) and C. Thomas McMillen, an individual (hereinafter
the “Executive”).

WHEREAS, the Company is engaged in the business of providing specialized technology-based
radiological, nuclear, environmental, disaster relief and electronic security solutions to
government and commercial customers (the “Business”);

WHEREAS, the Executive has been employed as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer pursuant to
an employment agreement dated September 1, 2007 (the “Prior Employment Agreement”) and
serves as the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”);

WHEREAS, the Company granted the Executive options to purchase 55,800,000 shares of common
stock of the Company (the “Options”) pursuant to stock option agreements dated January 24,
2006 and July 30, 2008 (collectively, the “Option Agreements”);

WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to employ the Executive as its Chief Executive
Officer, and the Executive desires to continue to be so employed by the Company, on the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth;

WHEREAS, the Company desires for Executive to continue to serve as Chairman of the Board if so
elected and appointed, with no additional compensation; and

WHEREAS, as a further inducement for the Executive and the Company entering into this
Agreement, the Company agrees to amend the Note by extending the Maturity Date (as each of those
terms is defined below);

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the respective covenants and
agreements herein set forth, the Company and the Executive hereby agree as follows:

1. Employment. The Company hereby agrees to employ the Executive, and the Executive
hereby agrees to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Executive shall report
to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and agrees to perform such duties
customary to that office and such additional duties as shall from time to time reasonably be
assigned to him by the Board including, without limitation, the assumption of the duties and title
of President if, following the Effective Date, the role of President is vacated. The Executive
further agrees to devote all of his full working-time and attention to the performance of such
duties and to the promotion of the business and interests of the Company and its subsidiaries and
affiliates, unless otherwise approved in advance by the Company’s Board. The Executive may serve
on boards of for profit and not-for-profit companies, and participate in civic, religious or
charitable activities, provided that such outside activities do not interfere materially with, or
detract from, the performance of his duties to the Company. The Company hereby acknowledges and
agrees to Executive’s service with the entities listed on Appendix A hereto. Executive may serve
on three (3) company boards (in addition to those listed on Appendix A)
without the prior approval of the Board, so long as such service does not violate Executive’s
obligations under Section 7 of this Agreement. If Executive wishes to serve on more than
three (3) such company boards, he must first receive prior approval of the Board, which approval
will not be unreasonably withheld.

 

 

 

2. Term of Employment. The Executive’s employment hereunder shall be for a term of
one (1) year commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the day before the first anniversary of
the Effective Date (the “Expiration Date”), unless terminated earlier pursuant to
Section 4 of this Agreement (the “Term of Employment”). Thereafter, this Agreement
shall automatically be renewed and the Term of Employment extended for additional consecutive terms
of one (1) year (each a “Renewal Term”), unless such renewal is objected to by either the
Company or the Executive upon ninety (90) days written notice prior to the commencement of the next
Renewal Term. In the event of renewal, the last day of each Renewal Term shall be deemed the new
Expiration Date and shall so extend the Term of Employment.

3. Compensation and Other Related Matters.

(a) Base Salary. As compensation for services rendered hereunder, effective June 1,
2011, the Executive’s salary shall increase to $350,000 annually (the “Base Salary”), which
shall accrue day to day and be paid in accordance with the Company’s then prevailing payroll
practices. The Base Salary may be increased from time to time at the discretion of the Company,
but it shall not be decreased without the prior written consent of the Executive.

(b) Bonus. At the sole discretion of the Company, the Executive shall be eligible to
receive a bonus for each fiscal year ending during the Term of Employment in an amount up to
one-hundred percent (100%) of the Executive’s Base Salary (the “Bonus”) based on the
Executive and the Company successfully achieving targeted annual performance objectives, which
objectives will be established by the Compensation Committee of the Board, in consultation with the
Executive, within sixty (60) days following the start of each fiscal year. In the event the
Company changes its fiscal year (which is currently June 30th), Executive shall be
eligible to receive a pro-rated Bonus, if any, for any shortened fiscal year, the numerator of
which is the number of days in such shortened fiscal year and the denominator of which is 365. The
Bonus for each such fiscal year (including any shortened fiscal year) will be paid no later than
two and one-half (2 1/2) months following the end of such fiscal year. Except as otherwise provided
for in this Agreement, to receive such Bonus, the Executive must still be employed with the Company
on the date when the Bonus is payable and no event of Cause (as defined below) shall have occurred.

(c) Special Bonus. The Company shall pay to the Executive a one-time payment in an
amount equal to $726,665.00 (the “Special Bonus”) on the first to occur of (i) December 31,
2011 and (ii) a Change of Control. If payment is made because of a Change of Control, the payment
will be paid to the Executive in a lump-sum amount within the five (5) day period following the
closing date of the Change of Control. The amount of the Special Bonus will be reduced by the
amount of the principal and interest owed by the Executive, if any, pursuant to the Note. Except
as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, to receive the Special Bonus, the Executive must still
be employed with the Company on the date when such Special Bonus is payable and no event of Cause
shall have occurred.

As used herein, “Change of Control” means the date (i) that any one person (for
purposes herein, “person” includes an individual or entity), or more than one person acting as a
group, acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent
acquisition by such person or persons), assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market
value equal to or more than forty percent (40%) of the total gross fair market value of all of the
assets of the Company immediately before such acquisition or acquisitions (which, for the sake of
clarity, includes the sale of the Company’s Safety and Ecology Corporation subsidiary); (ii) that
any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, is or becomes the beneficial owner,
directly or indirectly, of forty percent (40%) or more of the voting stock of the Company; or (iii)
of a consummation of a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar form of corporate
reorganization (a “Business Combination”) of the Company with or into any other entity
other than a Business Combination in which the shares of the Company outstanding immediately before
such Business Combination are exchanged or converted into or constitute shares which represent
sixty (60%) or more of the surviving entity’s voting capital stock after such Business Combination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall a Change of Control occur under this
Agreement if it results from the sale of the Company’s assets to an entity in which more than fifty
percent (50%) of the total voting power is owned by the Company’s shareholders (individually or in
the aggregate) who own (individually or in the aggregate), more than fifty percent (50%) of the
total voting power of the Company.

(d) Options. As consideration for the Company entering into this Agreement, the
Executive agrees that he shall forfeit the Options and the Option Agreements will be terminated as
of the Effective Date; thereafter, the Option Agreements will be of no further force and effect and
the Executive shall not have any right to exercise the Options.

(e) Automobile Allowance. During the Term of Employment, the Company will pay to the
Executive a monthly automobile allowance in an amount equal to $1,000, which amount will be paid
pursuant to the Company’s prevailing payroll schedule and pro-rated for any partial months of
employment.

(f) 401K Matching Contribution. The Company will make a matching contribution
annually to the Executive’s 401K account based on the amount of the Executive’s elective deferrals,
up to the maximum allowed under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”), subject to and consistent with the terms of the governing plan document.

(g) Other Benefits. Executive shall be provided with health, life, dental, long term
care and disability insurance coverage and such other benefits and perquisites as are provided to
other senior executives of the Company, as amended from time to time. The Executive will be
entitled to six (6) weeks of vacation per year, which will accrue monthly. Any accrued but unused
vacation time in one calendar year will roll-over to the subsequent calendar year if the Agreement
is renewed.

(h) Expenses. The Executive will be reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses actually incurred by him in the furtherance of his duties under this Agreement. Such
expenses shall be reimbursed upon submission to the Company of invoices containing original
receipts for all such expenditures, and upon review by the Company with respect to the reasonable
nature thereof. All expense reimbursements shall be paid as soon as administratively
practicable.

 

-3-

 

(i) Attorneys’ Fees. The Company will reimburse the Executive for attorney’s fees
and costs actually incurred by Executive in connection with the review of this Agreement, up to an
amount equal to $10,000, which will be paid to Executive within thirty (30) days of Executive’s
submission to the Company of invoice(s) evidencing the fees and costs.

4. Termination.

(a) Disability. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment for Disability
upon ninety (90) days written notice. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means a
determination by the Company in accordance with applicable law that as a result of a physical or
mental injury, illness, or impairment, Executive is unable to perform the essential functions of
his position with or without reasonable accommodation for a period of (i) ninety (90) consecutive
days, or (ii) one hundred twenty (120) days (which days need not be consecutive) in any one (1)
year period.

(b) Death. The Executive’s employment shall terminate immediately upon the death of
the Executive.

(c) Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment for “Cause”
on contemporaneous written notice upon a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not
less than a majority of the entire membership of the Board (excluding the Executive, if a director
at such time). “Cause” shall mean termination based upon (i) a conviction with respect to
any felony involving theft, fraud, dishonesty or misrepresentation; (ii) any misappropriation,
embezzlement or conversion of the Company’s or any of its subsidiary’s or affiliate’s property;
(iii) willful misconduct by the Executive in respect of the Executive’s material duties or
obligations under this Agreement; or (iv) the Executive’s material breach of this Agreement,
provided that if the Executive engages in the conduct set forth in (iii) or (iv) herein, the
Company shall first notify the Executive in writing and may only terminate the Executive for Cause
if the Executive fails to cure such conditions giving rise to Cause, if curable, within thirty (30)
days following his receipt of the written notice.

(d) Termination Without Cause. The Company shall have the right to terminate the
Executive’s employment without Cause at any time upon ninety (90) days prior written notice.

(e) Good Reason. The Executive may resign his employment for “Good Reason”.

this Agreement; (ii) materially reduced the Executive’s Base Salary; (iii) materially reduced the
Executive’s duties or responsibilities or authority; or (iv) requires the Executive to work at a
location on a permanent basis that is more than thirty (30) miles from the location at which the
Executive provided the services as of the Effective Date; provided, however, that within ninety
(90) days of the occurrence of the conditions giving rise to a resignation for Good Reason, the
Executive provides written notice to the Company setting forth in reasonable detail the conditions
giving rise to Good Reason, the Company fails to cure the conditions within thirty (30) days of
receipt of the notice, and the Executive resigns within ninety (90) days following the Company’s
receipt of the notice.

 

-4-

 

(f) Resignation. The Executive may resign his employment without Good Reason with
sixty (60) days prior written notice to the Company.

(g) Expiration. The Executive’s employment will terminate on the Expiration Date.

5. Compensation Upon Termination.

(a) Disability; Death. If during the Term of Employment the Executive’s employment
shall be terminated by the Company due the Executive’s Disability pursuant to Section 4(a),
or due to the Executive’s Death pursuant to Section 4(b), the Company shall pay to the
Executive (or his estate, as applicable) (i) his accrued but unpaid Base Salary and accrued but
unused vacation time up to the date of termination (the “Accrued Obligations”); (ii) an
amount equal to one (1) year of the Executive’s Base Salary at the rate in effect as of the
effective date of the Executive’s termination of employment (the “Termination Date”); (iii)
the Bonus, if any, that the Executive would have received had he remained employed with the Company
through the Expiration Date, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days
Executive was actually employed in the fiscal year in the year of the Termination Date and the
denominator of which is 365 (the “Pro-Rated Bonus”), provided that the Company and/or the
Executive have met the performance objectives under the applicable plan, as determined by the
Company; (iv) any unpaid Bonus from the prior fiscal year (the “Prior Year Bonus”); (v) the
Special Bonus, if unpaid, (together with the Pro-Rated Bonus and the Prior Year Bonus referred to
collectively as the “Bonus Payments”); and (vi) in the case of a termination due to
Executive’s Disability, if Executive timely elects to continue his health and/or dental insurance
coverage pursuant to COBRA, that portion of the COBRA premium that it would pay if Executive were
an active employee with the same type of coverage (the “COBRA Premiums”), for a period of
one (1) year from the Termination Date (or if earlier, the date Executive is eligible for
comparable coverage with a subsequent employer). The foregoing amounts (with the exception of the
COBRA Premiums, which shall be paid by the Company to the insurance carriers) shall be paid in a
lump-sum on the first regularly scheduled payroll date following the Termination Date. Thereafter
the Company shall have no further obligation to the Executive under this Agreement. Any amounts
paid by the Company for the COBRA Premiums under this Agreement shall be recorded as additional
income pursuant to Section 6041 of the Code, and shall not be entitled to any tax qualified
treatment.

(b) For Cause; Without Good Reason. If during the Term of Employment the Company
terminates the Executive’s employment for Cause under Section 4(c) of this Agreement or the
Executive resigns without Good Reason under Section 4(f), the Company shall pay to the
Executive the Accrued Obligations, and thereafter the Company shall have no further obligation to
the Executive under this Agreement.

 

-5-

 

(c) Without Cause; For Good Reason. If during the Term of Employment the Company
terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause pursuant to Section 4(d) of this
Agreement, or the Executive resigns his employment for Good Reason under Section 4(e), the
Company shall pay the Executive (i) an amount equal to one (1) year of his Base Salary at the rate
in effect as of the Termination Date (without regard to any reduction in Base Salary that gave rise
to Good Reason); (ii) the Base Salary that the Executive would have received had he remained
employed through the Expiration Date (without regard to any reduction in Base Salary
that gave rise to Good Reason) (together with the amount set forth in (i) the
“Severance”); (iii) the Bonus Payments; (iv) the COBRA Premiums for the until the date that
is one (1) year following the Termination Date or if earlier, the date Executive is eligible for
comparable coverage with a subsequent employer; and (v) the Accrued Obligations. Payment of the
Severance, the Bonus Payments, and the COBRA Premiums are conditioned on the Executive executing a
general release of claims releasing all of his claims against the Company in a form reasonably
satisfactory to the Company (but which will not require Executive to release his rights under this
Agreement that are intended to survive Executive’s termination of employment or any vested rights
under any Company plan or arrangement) (the “Release”) and the Release becoming effective
and irrevocable prior to the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date. The
Severance will be paid in a lump sum amount on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination
Date. The Bonus Payments will be paid when such bonuses would have been paid had the Executive
remained employed by the Company. The Accrued Obligations will be paid on the next regularly
scheduled payroll date following the Termination Date. Thereafter, the Executive acknowledges that
the Company shall have no further obligation to the Executive under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive is at any time in breach of Sections 7 or 8
of this Agreement, the Company will have no obligations under this Section 5(c).

(d) Termination Following Expiration. If the Company terminates the Executive’s
employment without Cause, as defined in Section 4(d), or if the Executive resigns for Good
Reason, as defined in Section 4(e), following the Expiration Date, the Company shall (i)
pay to the Executive an amount equal to one (1) year of his Base Salary at the rate in effect as of
the Termination Date in a lump sum amount on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination
Date, provided the Release is effective and irrevocable prior such date, and (ii) pay to the
Executive the Accrued Obligations on the next regularly scheduled payroll date following the
Termination Date. Thereafter, the Executive acknowledges that the Company shall have no further
obligation to the Executive under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive
is at any time in breach of Sections 7 or 8 of this Agreement, the Company will have no
obligations under this Section 5(d).

6. Resignation from Board and Officer Positions. Immediately upon termination of the
Executive’s employment for any reason, either by the Company or voluntarily by the Executive, the
Executive shall resign from the Board and any officer positions with the Company then held by the
Executive.

7. Confidentiality and Restrictive Covenants.

(a) The Executive acknowledges that:

(i) the Business in which the Company is engaged is intensely competitive and that his
employment by the Company will require that he have access to and knowledge of confidential
information of the Company, including, but not limited to, certain/all of the Company’s products,
plans for creation, prototypes, acquisition or disposition of products or publications, expansion
plans, financial status and plans, marketing plans, products, improvements, formulas, designs or
styles, source code, software architecture, hardware and software configurations, method of
distribution, customer lists, product development plans, rules and regulations, personnel
information and trade secrets of the Company, all of which are of vital
importance to the success of the Company’s business (collectively, “Confidential
Information”);

 

-6-

 

(ii) the direct or indirect disclosure of any Confidential Information could place the Company
at a serious competitive disadvantage and could do serious damage, financial and otherwise, to the
Company’s business;

(iii) by his training, experience and expertise, the Executive’s services to the Company will
be special and unique; and

(iv) if the Executive leaves the Company’s employ to work for a competitive business, in any
capacity, it could cause the Company irreparable harm.

(b) Covenant Against Disclosure. The Executive therefore covenants and agrees that
all Confidential Information relating to the Business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries,
affiliates or customers shall be and remain the sole property and confidential business information
of the Company, free of any rights of the Executive. The Executive shall not make any use of the
Confidential Information and shall not disclose any Confidential Information to third parties,
except in the performance of his duties hereunder or with the prior written consent of the Company.

(c) Return of Company Documents. The Executive agrees that, upon any termination of
his employment with the Company or upon the Company’s demand, he will return all Confidential
Information in his possession, directly or indirectly, that is in written or other tangible form
(together with all duplicates thereof) and that he will not retain or furnish any such Confidential
Information to any third party, either by sample, facsimile, film, audio or video cassette,
electronic data, verbal communication or any other means of communication.

(d) Non-competition. The Executive agrees that, during the Term of Employment and,
following the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, during the period that is
equal to the sum of (i) one (1) year; and (ii) the period of time between the Termination Date and
ending on the Expiration Date (together with the Term of Employment, the “Restricted
Period”), the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control or
participate in the ownership, management or control of, or be connected as an officer, employee,
partner, director, or have any financial interest in, or aid or assist anyone else in the conduct
of, any entity or business which competes with the Business conducted by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates within any area in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates conducts its business on the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Executive’s (i) ownership of securities of a public company engaged in competition with the
Company’s Business not in excess of two percent (2%) of any class of such securities; or (ii)
ownership interest and/or position in any future special purpose acquisition corporations, shall
not be considered a breach of the covenants set forth in this Section 7(d).

 

-7-

 

(e) Further Covenant. During the Restricted Period, the Executive shall not, directly
or indirectly, take any of the following actions, and, to the extent the Executive owns, manages,
operates, controls, is employed by or participates in the ownership, management, operation or
control of any business, the Executive will use his best efforts to ensure that such business does
not take any of the following actions:

(i) persuade or attempt to persuade any customer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates to cease doing business with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or to
reduce the amount of business any customer does with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates;

(ii) solicit for himself or on behalf of an entity that competes with the Business of the
Company, the business of a customer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or
solicit any such entity that was a customer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates
within one (1) year prior to the termination of the Executive’s employment; and

(iii) persuade or attempt to persuade any employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries
or affiliates to leave the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or hire
or engage, directly or indirectly, any individual who was an employee of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates during the one (1) year prior to the Executive’s termination of
employment.

8. Intellectual Property.

(a) Assignment. The Executive assigns, to the Company, without additional
compensation, all right, title and interest in all creations, inventions, ideas, designs,
copyrightable materials, trademarks, and other technology and rights (and any related improvements
or modifications), whether or not subject to patent or copyright protection (collectively,
“Inventions”), relating to any activities of the Company that are conceived or developed by
the Executive in the course of his employment, whether alone or with others and whether or not
conceived or developed during regular business hours, and if based on Confidential Information
after the termination of this Agreement for any reason. Such Inventions shall be the sole property
of the Company and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, shall be deemed “works made
for hire” as the term is used in the United States Copyright Act.

(b) Disclosure. The Executive will promptly inform the Company of any such
Inventions. The Executive will (whether while employed by the Company or after the termination of
this Agreement), at the Company’s sole expense, execute such written instruments and do other such
acts as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Company or its counsel to secure the
Company’s rights in the Inventions, including obtaining a patent, registering a copyright, or
otherwise (and the Executive irrevocably appoints the Company and any of its officers as your
attorney in fact to undertake such acts in his name). The Executive’s obligation to execute
written instruments and otherwise assist the Company in securing its rights in the Inventions will
continue after the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

(c) Sub-License. To the extent, if any, that the Executive retains any right, title
or interest with respect to any Inventions that he develops during his employment with the Company,
the Executive grants to the Company an irrevocable, paid-up, transferable, sub-licensable,
worldwide right and license (i) to modify all or any portion of such Inventions, including, without
limitation, the making of additions to or deletions from such Inventions, regardless of the medium
(now or hereafter known) into which such Inventions may be modified and regardless of the effect of
such modifications on the integrity of such Inventions, and (ii) to identify the Executive, or not
to identify the Executive, as one or more authors of or contributors
to such Inventions or any portion thereof, whether or not such Inventions or any portion
thereof have been modified. The Executive further waives any “moral” rights, or other rights with
respect to attribution of authorship or integrity of such Inventions that he may have under any
applicable law, whether under copyright, trademark, unfair competition, defamation, right of
privacy, contract, tort or other legal theory.

9. Disputes.

(a)  Arbitration. The Executive and the Company will arbitrate any and all
controversies, claims or disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Executive’s
employment with the Company (“Claims”) before the American Arbitration Association
(“AAA”) in accordance with the AAA’s National Rules for the Resolution of Employment
Disputes. The Executive waives any right to a trial by jury in any controversy, claim or dispute
with the Company, including those that arise under any federal, state or local law, including
without limitation, claims of harassment, discrimination or wrongful termination under common law
or under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Americans
with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Older Workers’ Benefit
Protection Act. This Section 9(a) shall not apply to claims by the Executive under Section
806 of the Corporate and Criminal Fraud Accountability Act of 2002, Title VIII of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, 18 U.S.C. § 1514A, as amended.

(b) Administrative Claims. While this Agreement precludes the Executive from filing a
court action for any Claim against the Company, this Agreement does not prohibit the Executive from
filing an administrative charge with a local, state or federal administrative body.

(c) Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the agreement to arbitrate, a breach by the
Executive of his obligations under Section 7 or 8 of this Agreement would cause the Company
irreparable harm and no adequate remedy at law would be available in respect thereof. Accordingly,
if any dispute arises between the parties under Section 7 or 8, the parties shall not be
required to arbitrate such Claim under Section 9(a), but shall have the right to institute
judicial proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction with respect to such dispute or claim
and may be entitled to relief enjoining such acts without the need to post a bond. If such
judicial proceedings are instituted, such proceedings shall not be stayed or delayed pending the
outcome of any arbitration proceeding under Section 9(a) of this Agreement. The Executive
and the Company consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Virginia (or if such court cannot exercise jurisdiction for any reason, to the
jurisdiction of the Virginia state courts encompassing Arlington County) for this purpose.
Further, the Executive and the Company waive any objections to the jurisdiction of such courts
based on improper or inconvenient forum.

(d) Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that either party commences a litigation,
arbitration or an administrative action against the other to enforce such party’s rights hereunder,
the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party all reasonable
costs, expenses and fees, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, through all appeals, incurred in
prosecuting or defending such action.

 

-9-

 

10. Market Standoff Agreement. The Executive agrees that if so requested by the
Company or by any representative of any underwriters in connection with any registration of
the offering of any securities of the Company under the Securities Act, the Executive shall not
sell or otherwise transfer any securities of the Company during the ninety (90) day period
following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended.

11. Director’s and Officer’s Liability Insurance. During the Term of Employment and
thereafter, until such time as all applicable statutes of limitations have expired, the Company, or
any successor to the Company resulting from a Change of Control, shall keep in place a director’s
and officer’s liability insurance policy (or policies) providing coverage in an amount up to at
least $5,000,000.

12. Indemnification. The Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
Company against all liabilities, damages, claims, lawsuits, judgments, settlements, fines, costs
and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees (the attorney to be selected by Executive), and
other amounts actually and reasonably incurred by Executive in connection with any proceeding or
claim (or threatened proceeding or claim) arising by reason of Executive’s employment with the
Company, whether before, during or after the Term of Employment, in accordance with the
indemnification provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and/or Bylaws as in effect
on the Effective Date, and otherwise to the fullest extent to permissible under the laws of the
state of incorporation, as may be amended from time to time.

13. Amendment of Note. The Company and the Executive acknowledge that the Executive
entered into a Guaranty in favor of the Company dated as of June 1, 2007, with respect to the
obligations of Secure America Acquisition Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (f/k/a
Fortress America Acquisition Holdings LLC; “SAAH”) owed to the Company under that certain
Promissory Note dated June 1, 2007 between the Company and SAAH (the “Note”). The Company
hereby agrees that, as an inducement for the Executive to enter into this Agreement, it shall, by
no later than the Effective Date, cause the Note to be amended such that the Maturity Date, as
defined in the Note, is changed to the earlier of (A) December 31, 2011, (B) a Change of Control,
and (C) the Termination Date.

14. Non-Disparagement. Executive agrees that he will not, whether during his
employment or thereafter, directly or indirectly, make or ratify any statement, public or private,
oral or written, to any person that disparages, either professionally or personally, the Company or
any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, past and present, and each of them, as well as its and their
trustees, directors, officers, members, managers, partners, agents, attorneys, insurers, employees,
stockholders, representatives, assigns, and successors, past and present, and each of them. The
Company agrees that during Executive’s employment and thereafter, it will not and will cause its
trustees, directors, officers, members, managers, partners, assigns and successors, past and
present, and each of them, not to, directly or indirectly, make or ratify any statement, public or
private, oral or written, to any person that disparages, either professionally or personally.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or Executive
from making truthful statements when required by law.

 

-10-

 

15. Section 409A.

(a) To the extent that the payments and benefits to which the Executive is
entitled in connection with a termination of his employment (the “Separation
Benefits”) constitute non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code,
the following rules shall apply to the Separation Benefits: (i) Any termination of the Executive’s
employment triggering payment of the Separation Benefits must constitute a “separation from
service” under Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(h) before
distribution of such benefits can commence. To the extent that the termination of the Executive’s
employment does not constitute a separation of service under Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code
and Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(h) (as the result of further services that are reasonably anticipated to
be provided by the Executive to the Company at the time the Executive’s employment terminates), any
part of the Separation Benefits that constitute non-qualified deferred compensation under Section
409A shall be delayed until after the date of a subsequent event constituting a separation of
service under Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(h). For purposes of
clarification, this Section 15(a) shall not cause any forfeiture of benefits on the
Executive’s part, but shall only act as a delay until such time as a “separation from service”
occurs; (ii) if the Executive is a “specified employee” (as that term is used in Section 409A and
regulations and other guidance issued thereunder) on the date his separation from service becomes
effective, any part of the Separation Benefits that constitutes non-qualified deferred compensation
subject to Section 409A shall be delayed until the earlier of (A) the business day following the
six-month anniversary of the date his separation from service becomes effective, and (B) the date
of the Executive’s death, but only to the extent necessary to avoid the adverse tax consequences
and penalties under Section 409A. On the earlier of (A) the business day following the six-month
anniversary of the date his separation from service becomes effective, and (B) the Executive’s
death, the Company shall pay the Executive in a lump sum the aggregate value of the non-qualified
deferred compensation that the Company otherwise would have paid the Executive prior to that date
under this Agreement but for this Section; (iii) it is intended that each installment of
the payments and benefits provided in this Agreement in connection with a termination of the
Executive’s employment shall be treated as a “separate payment” for purposes of Section 409A; and
(iv) neither the Company nor the Executive shall have the right to accelerate or defer the delivery
of any such payments or benefits except to the extent specifically permitted or required by Section
409A.

In the event any of Executive’s non-qualified deferred compensation is subject to a six-month
delay pursuant to this Section 15(a), the Company shall place immediately negotiable funds
into a “rabbi” trust in an amount equal to the cash payments that may be due (or will be due) to
Executive as a result of Executive’s termination of employment. Such trust shall be maintained
pursuant to a standard rabbi trust arrangement among the Company, Executive and an independent
trustee (reasonably acceptable to Executive) providing for the timely payment to Executive of the
amounts held in such trust in the event Executive becomes entitled thereto under the applicable
provisions of this Agreement (the (“Trust Agreement”). The Trust Agreement shall be
maintained until the payment to Executive of all sums held in the trust. This provision is subject
to the limitations imposed by Section 409A(b) of the Code. In addition, this provision will be
null and void if the establishment or maintenance of such a trust would result in the imposition of
a tax or penalty under Section 409A.

(b) If any of the reimbursements or in-kind benefits provided for under this Agreement are
subject to Section 409A and the rules and regulations thereunder, the following rules shall apply:
(i) in no event shall any such reimbursement be paid after the last day of the taxable year
following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred; (ii) the amount of
such reimbursable expenses incurred, or the provision of in-kind benefits, in one tax year
shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or the provision of in-kind benefits in
any other tax year; and (iii) the right to such reimbursement for expenses or provision of in-kind
benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.

 

-11-

 

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of any
ambiguity in the terms of this Agreement, such term(s) shall be interpreted and at all times
administered in a manner that avoids the inclusion of compensation in income under Section 409A, or
the payment of increased taxes, excise taxes or other penalties under Section 409A.

(d) The parties intend this Agreement to be in compliance with or otherwise exempt from
Section 409A. Executive acknowledges and agrees that Company does not guarantee the tax treatment
or tax consequences associated with any payment or benefit arising under this Agreement, including
but not limited to consequences related to Section 409A.

16. No Mitigation or Off-Set. The Executive shall be under no obligation to seek
other employment after his termination of employment with the Company and the obligations of the
Company that arise upon the termination of his employment shall not be subject to mitigation or
off-set.

17. Section 280G.

(a) Excise Tax.

(i) In the event a Change in Control occurs and the Executive becomes entitled to any benefits
or payments in the nature of compensation (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code)
under this Agreement, or any other plan, arrangement, or agreement with the Company (the “Total
Payments”), and the Total Payments will be subject to the tax (the “Excise Tax”)
imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or any similar tax that may hereafter be imposed), the
aggregate present value of the Payments (as defined below) under this Agreement shall be reduced
(but not below zero) to the Reduced Amount (as defined below) if reducing the Payments will provide
the Executive with a greater net after-tax amount than would be the case if no reduction was made.
The term “Payment” means any benefit or payment in the nature of compensation (within the
meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) under this Agreement. The “Reduced Amount”
shall be an amount expressed in present value which maximizes the aggregate present value of
Payments under this Agreement without causing any Payment under this Agreement to be subject to the
Excise Tax, determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. The Company shall reduce
the Payments under this Agreement by first reducing Payments that are not payable in cash and then
by reducing cash Payments.

(b) Computation. In determining the potential impact of the Excise Tax, the Company
may rely on any advice it deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, the counsel of its
independent accounting firm. For purposes of determining whether any of the Total Payments will be
subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax:

(i) The amount of the Total Payments which shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax shall
be equal to the amount of excess parachute payments within the
meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code, as determined by the Company’s independent accounting
firm;

 

-12-

 

(ii) The value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred or accumulated payment or benefit
shall be determined by the Company’s independent accounting firm in accordance with the principles
of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code; and

(iii) The value of the non-competition covenants contained in this Agreement shall be taken
into account to reduce “parachute payments” to the maximum extent allowable under Section 280G of
the Code.

(iv) For purposes of the determinations under this Section 17, the Executive shall be
deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation in the
calendar year in which the applicable payment is to be made, and state and local income taxes at
the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of the Executive’s residence, net
of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such
state and local taxes.

18. Miscellaneous.

  (a) Successors; Binding Agreement. This Agreement and the obligations of
the Company hereunder and all rights of the Executive hereunder shall inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns,
provided, however, that the duties of the Executive hereunder are personal to the Executive and may
not be delegated or assigned by him.

Section 5, Sections 7 through and including Section 12, Sections 14
through and including Section 17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the
