PROTOCOL FOR SETTING UP COMMITTEE MEETINGS:Mr. Todd Slyman asked Ms. Celia Lee to please explain the protocol to the Executive Committeemembers. Ms. Lee asked that all members give her sufficient notice to set up their respectivecommittee meetings, as the meetings need to be posted the same way the full ASSEC, Executive,and Finance meetings do on the State of Alabama's Open Meeting's website. At least seven (7)days notice for meetings is required to be posted. In addition, Ms. Lee will handle the requiredcommunication for the meetings bye-mailing the meeting notice/invite to the committeemembers, track the attendance, prepare the Agenda (with the assistance of the Chair), and if Ms.Lee is available (without another meeting conflict) will take the minutes for the meeting. If Ms.Lee is not available the Chair or someone the Chair appoints needs to take the minutes of themeeting. Ms. Lee said her position as the Executive Administrative Assistant to the c.E.O. isalso to the Commission and within reason she will handle the administrative work for the Chairsas all meetings need to be recorded properly for any independent or State audits. Ms. Lee askedMr. Slyman about the Agenda for the upcoming monthly Executive Meeting for next Tuesday,December 14 as the standard one that has been used is fairly extensive and now that theASSEClExecutive is following the Finance the Agenda may need to be condensed. AllCommittee members had discussion and agreed the meetings need to have the finer details andstreamlined as not to sit through lengthy meetings. Ms. Kakani said the focus should bestrategically and tactics. Mr. Slyman said it is the Committee Chair's obligation to get with theircommittees and report on what needs to be reported. Mr. Quinlivan said it forces the Chair's tounderstand what is going on and if you have someone else coming in reporting for you, you arenot paying as close attention as you should. Mr. Slyman said unless the Chair particularly invitesa specific staff member to be in the meeting we do not need the staff attending the meetingsregularly. Ms. Lee asked about the NASNMSFC and Redstone representatives attendance at theASSEClExecutive monthly meeting and it was agreed they should still be part of the meetings togive their updates.

Mr. Wilson presented an invoice for $2,000 from Mr. John Wilmer, Wilmer & Lee, P.A. for hisservices at the ASSEC Special Called meeting on November 17,2010.

Mr. Slyman signed the approval on the invoice; it was given to Ms.Lee to submit to Mr. Donnie Claxton for payment.

Mr. Quinlivan asked Ms. Lee if we had received the expected December 10,2010 SpaceInvestments money and Ms. Lee said she does not believe it was received yet. Mr. Slyman andMr. Quinlivan asked for a conference call to be setup with Mr. Larry Capps today to discuss theSpace Investments payment that is due and Ms. Lee setup the call for 1:30 p.m. today.

ALABAMA SPACE SCIENCE EXHIBIT COMMISSIONEXECUTIVE COMMITTEEDecember 14, 20 10 - Page 3

Mr. Capps asked Ms. Jennifer Crozier to give the update about the Mind of Saturn exhibit. Ms.Crozier reported the exhibit team will be calling on Local Huntsvillians for interviews and storieson the actual development and testing of the Instrument Unit and Mr. Brooks Moore will be aconsultant on the project.

Mr. Capps continued reporting on GTAC; the DCNR Coastal Remote Monitoring Program PhaseII project continues on schedule with eight (8) cameras installed on the coast with real-timepictures. Another four (4) camera platforms have been built and tested and are ready fordeployment to the coast. The team is pursing further investigation into FUR's new color nightvision capability and will arrange for a demonstration soon. The Season of Magic for theholidays and the Narnia exhibit will wrap up its three month promotion. There were severalevents associated with the Season of Magic starting with the Pumpkin Chunkin' contest whichwas a huge success. Marketing is working on the details for the VIP opening and opening dayactivities for CSI: The Experience. Dr. D.P. Lyle, forensic expert and author, will be the featuredguest. Mr. Capps handed out the e-mail exchange with Ms. Pamela Al-Ibrahim regarding thestatus of when the money would be received from Space Investments Company (SIC).

Mr. Capps said last week an agreement was signed for at least three (3) and maybe four (4) SpaceCamps in China; $35,000 has already been paid. Mr. Capps passed out a hand-out with detailsabout the Option to Enter Licensing Agreement with Mactus Group, LTD. Mr. Wilson asked ifthere is a dollar value on the contract and was surprised that the contract should have comebefore the Executive Committee for approval. Mr. Capps said it is an "Option to Enter"agreement and the Basics of Options is for $305,000 (three options) between now and June 1,2012. Then the $305,000 will be applied towards the $1.75M license fee. Mr. Wilson askedwho establishes these numbers and the schedule. Mr. Capps said the $1.75M is the standardlicense fee agreement and it covers Space Camp, Space Academy, and Advanced SpaceAcademy. If it were for only Space Camp it would be $1.25M and that fee was determined backin 2002. The fees for the Option Agreement were negotiated over six (6) months with lawyershere in town, representing Mactus Group. The CEO with Mactus and three of his directors werehere last week; before they arrived we arranged a tour for them at Kennedy Space Center. Theyleft last week very pleased. There sites have already been selected and they are currently lookingfor the fourth. Mr. Wilson said he does not doubt a lot of work went into the negotiations.However, he was under the impression from the Contract Management Policy that any contractwith a dollar liability over $100,000 is to be signed by the CEO and the Chair or Vice Chair ofthe Commission, this contract was not even presented to the Executive Committee for approval.Mr. Wilson said he questions if this option agreement is even valid because this agreement wasnot approved by the Commission. Mr. Capps said that is cost contracts over $100,000, this is arevenue agreement. Mr. Wilson said that is an interesting interruption because anything that hasa dollar impact (plus or minus) of $100,000 or more is a significant contract. Mr. Capps askedwhen the Committee would have liked to be involved. Mr. Wilson said they should have seenthe Option Agreement and been briefed on the pricing schedule. Mr. Wilson said the ContractManagement Policy needs to be fixed. Mr. Capps said over the last three meeting it has beenmentioned about the China groups' interest. Mr. Wilson said it was mentioned but nothing waspresented. Mr. Wilson asked that it be clarified with the Executive Committee today that this befor any contract (plus or minus) and that the Contract Management Policy be brought before the



entire Commission to be reviewed and amended. Mr. Wilson made a motion that any contract,revenue generating or liability, of $100,000 or more be brought to the Executive Committee priorto signing, Mr. Quinlivan seconded; the motion was unanimously approved. Mr. Capps saidthere are a number of contracts that come though that need to be signed, most recently was theIBM agreement for the Mind of Saturn exhibit and this could hold up things. Mr. Don Davidsonsaid the objective is not to hold up the CEO from daily business; we have known about IBM forseveral months, as did the China deal. The process for informing the Executive Committee ofthe details and getting direction from the Committee to see if this is something they wouldapprove or not. Mr. Davidson said that every contract has some costs along the line and is notcompletely a revenue generating contract. This is not to impede the CEO or Director's ability tomanage the business. Mr. Wilson said this was discussed last year and suggests that theCommittee needs to make a recommendation to the full Commission in February that the entireContract Management Policy be reviewed and oversight needs to be implemented at some level.Mr. Wilson will take the lead to pull up what was done before because some significant progresswas made to present the changes to the policy at the next ASSEC Quarterly meeting in February.Mr. Quinlivan said it should also be looked at as protection for the CEO. Mr. Capps said he wasoperating with a three day window with the China group. Mr. Davidson said less than 30 daysago we were in a meeting that this should have been presented.

COMMITTEE UPDATES:Aerospace - Mr. Kevin Webber said there was no update but he has met with Mr. Ralph Brysonand his team to get an overview and will plan on setting up a full committee meeting.

Mr. Slyman asked Ms. Lee to please give a quick overview of the notice of meetings. Ms. Leesaid that all standing committees need to be posted on the Secretary of State's website just as theFinance, Executive, and full ASSEC meetings. If a Chair wants to have a full committee meetingit will need to be posted at least seven (7) days in advance of the meeting date. Ms. Lee said shewill handle sending out meeting notice and if available (does not have a conflict) will take theminutes of the meeting. If she is not available to take the minutes the Chair needs to designatesomeone to take and write-up the minutes for their meeting. Mr. Webber said he is planning onhaving the Aerospace Committee meetings a week or two before each Quarterly meeting. Ms.Lee said to let her know when Mr. Webber has selected the date and she will post it.

A meeting of the Executive Committee, Alabama Space Science Exhibit Commission, was heldFriday, December 17, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. in the Board Room at the U. S. Space & Rocket Centerin Huntsville, Alabama.

COMMITTEE MEMBERS PRESENT:Mr. Todd Slyman, ChairMr. Daniel Wilson, Vice ChairMr. Joe Collazo, SecretaryMr. Evans QuinlivanMr. Kevin WebberMs. Bhavani KakaniMr. Don DavidsonMr. Keith Smith

COMMITTEE MEMBERS ABSENT:Ms. Dorothy Davidson


ST AFF PRESENT:Ms. Celia Lee

OTHERS PRESENT:Mr. Wes Lyons (former USSRC employee)Mr. Lee Roop (Huntsville Times)

WELCOME:Mr. Todd Slyman, ASSEC Chair, welcomed everyone to the Executive Committee meeting. Mr.Slyman announced a voting quorum present, and the meeting opened for the transaction ofbusiness. Ms. Lee was present to record the minutes of the meeting.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES:Mr. Todd Slyman asked if there were any changes or comments to the minutes for the ExecutiveCommittee meeting on December 10, 2010, Ms. Bhavani Kakani made a motion to approve theMinutes, Mr. Kevin Webber seconded the motion; the Minutes were unanimously approved.

SEARCH COMMITTEE UPDATE:Mr. Todd Slyman said the Search Committee passed on a name of a candidate at the last meetingand since then that person as been vetted. Mr. Daniel Wilson said this has come to a point in theprocess were a discussion regarding the recommended candidate's character, reputation, andprofessional qualification and per the Alabama Open Meetings Act, Section 7, we are allowed togo into Executive Session for that limited purpose. This group was charged by the fullCommission to find the replacement, determine that person's competency, and to negotiate thecontract with the new Executive Director/CEO. Mr. Wilson made a motion to go into ExecutiveSession (per the Alabama Open Meetings Act); this session should last about 10 to 15 minutes, todiscuss this person's character, good-name, reputation, and professional competency incompliance (which are appropriately done), in an Executive Session per the Alabama Law for



that purpose, Mr. Kevin Webber seconded the motion. Mr. Waymon Burke said he does nothave a vote but asked the Chair, Mr. Slyman ifhe could speak and Mr. Slyman said he could.Mr. Burke said this is the people's business and they have a right to know. Mr. Burke said hefeels it is wrong to go into Executive Session unless there is something negative to be discussedand if a candidate has been chosen there is nothing negative, only positives will be discussed.Mr. Burke said he thinks Executive Session is usually when someone is being charged withsomething that would harm their professional reputation. Mr. Burke asked the ExecutiveCommittee needs to think about this before deciding to go into Executive Session. Mr. EvansQuinlivan asked to talk through the process and wanted to know if we go into Executive Sessionfor 10 to 15 minutes as suggested and we reconvene, what follows. Mr. Slyman said deliberationwill follow; the Executive Session is only an information session, there is no deliberation in theExecutive Session. Mr. Keith Smith said the Executive Session is to talk about the candidate andif we agree we want to go forward then we come out of that session; when we come out of theExecutive Session and we have agreed, that candidate will be announced. Ifwe decide not tomove forward it will protect the privacy of that person. Mr. Slyman said that is correct. Mr.Burke said the last time they went through the process that the final candidates agreed to submitthat their names would be made public in an open meeting and those who did not, did notcontinue in the process. Mr. Quinlivan asked for clarification that when they come out ofExecutive Session, assuming this is the candidate we want to move forward with and the namewill be presented and everyone will know who that candidate is. Mr. Burke said this personprobably does not have any negatives but he feels the public has a right to know what thosethings are. Mr. Wilson said he agreed with Mr. Burke, however, the law is this way for a purposeand it clearly contemplates that public bodies can do this and out of respect for the candidate(s)and the process. Mr. Burke said it does not look good, because you can do it does not mean it isethically and morally correct. Mr. Slyman asked if there was any more discussion. Mr. Slyrnanasked if everyone is in favor of going into Executive Session; the motion that was originallymade by Mr. Daniel Wilson, seconded by Mr. Kevin Webber was unanimously approved. Mr.Slyman announced that the Executive Session would last 15 minutes.

The Alabama Space Science Exhibit Commission, Executive Committee, went into ExecutiveSession at 9: 11 a.m. to discuss the candidate's general reputation, character and professionalcompetence, pursuant to Section 36-25A-7(a)(l) of the Alabama Open Meetings Act.

The Alabama Space Science Exhibit Commission, Executive Committee reconvened at 9:25 a.m.

Mr. Todd Slyman said a candidate was chosen by the Search Committee. Mr. Joe Collazoannounced the candidate is, Dr. Deborah Barnhart. Mr. Daniel Wilson said the ExecutiveCommittee was charged with, and authorized, to negotiate a proposed contract with the candidateselected and recommended by the Search Committee, approved by the Executive Committee,subject to approval by the full Commission. Mr. Wilson said he and Mr. Slyman negotiated aproposed employment contract with Dr. Barnhart. Mr. Wilson passed out the proposedExecutive Director Employment Contract. Mr. Kevin Webber asked Mr. Wilson to summarizethe contract. Mr. Wilson said Mr. John Wilmer, Attorney and Mr. Stan Gregory, U.S. Space &Rocket Center's attorney took the existing C.E.O's contract and provided input into the revised



contract. Mr. Evans Quinlivan asked before Mr. Wilson continued for Mr. Joe Collazo to give aquick process of what the Search Committee went through for the sake of the people whostepped back into the meeting after the Executive Session. Mr. Collazo said the SearchCommittee was appointed by the Chair to consist of Mr. Don Davidson, Ms. Bhavani Kakani,Ms. Linda Maynor, Ms. Irma Tudor, and himself. Despite the strength of judgment of the SearchCommittee members they sought counsel from the U.S. Rocket Center's (USSRC) HumanResources department for the best practices. An ad ran in the Huntsville Times, the BirminghamNews, and on Linkedln (nationwide), starting on Wednesday, November 24. The response todate is 73 resumes. Four (4) candidates who met the qualifications were interviewed. Out of thefour candidates the Search Committee unanimously recommended Dr. Deborah Barnhart to theExecutive Committee.

Mr. Wilson said the contract that everyone has received, is the contract he and Mr. Slyman havediscussed the contact with Dr. Barnhart and she agreed to it except for one item that is not inthere yet. It is a two (2) year contract, base salary $195,000 and same car allowance provided toMr. Larry Capps. Mr. Don Davidson pointed out that the contract needs to be to 2012, thecorrection was noted. Mr. Wilson continued that the benefits are the same (hospitalization,major medical coverage, etc), other insurance coverage the same as any full-time employee, andthree (3) weeks annual vacation (consistent and standard with someone of her stature, at anexecutive level). The things that are different on this contract from Mr. Larry Capps' agreementis Mr. Capps was an automatically renewing three year contract and Dr. Barnhart's is a two yearagreement. This contract has a termination upon 60-days notice and can be terminated with thesame buy-out provision at anytime for the lesser of one year's salary or whatever the remainingterm of the contract is. There is also the ability to "terminate for cause" which is strengthenedover what was in Mr. Capps' agreement. It can also be terminated upon mutual agreement of theparties. The economics are the $195,000 base salary plus the car allowance. The one thing notin that needs to be added is a relocation allowance; Dr. Barnhart is currently living in the Tampa,Florida area. Mr. Wilson said he and Mr. Slyman have discussed a one-time $20,000 relocationallowance which is reasonable and consistent with bringing in an executive from out-of-state (notin the agreement) and will need to be added. Mr. Wilson said the next step is to approve thisagreement to the two year term with the relocation provision and authorize Mr. Slyman to signand then for Dr. Barnhart to sign. There is a provision that does say, the agreement is subject toapproval by the full Commission. At this point we would reach an agreement with her and thenit will be presented to the full Commission for their approval. Mr. Wilson made a motion to addthe $20,000 relocation clause and the edit for the two year term to the agreement; then Mr.Slyman is authorized to sign this contract and offer it to Dr. Barnhart; Mr. Don Davidsonseconded the motion. Mr. Slyman said the motion has been made, seconded, and asked if therewas any discussion. Mr. Webber asked if the relocation included moving and temporary lodging.Mr. Quinlivan said he apologized for interrupting but the way he understands this is that Dr.Barnhart will be given the $20,000 and she will be responsible for it herself and Mr. Wilson saidthat is correct, it is a relocation allowance. Mr. Webber said an allowance and lump sum isdifferent and that typically she should submit her expenses because some things are taxable. Mr.Webber said the Center should have a policy. Mr. Collazo said a lump sum would be taxable.Mr. Webber said it needs to be an allowance to include moving expenses and lodging for aperiod of time. Mr. Don Davidson said $20,000 really is not a lot for moving expenses; moving



costs can be costly. Mr. Wilson asked if maybe the allowance should be increased. Mr.Quinlivan said since it will be allowance that he suggests increasing it and Mr. Keith Smithsuggested maybe getting feed-back from Dr. Barnhart on what she feels is reasonable. Mr.Collazo said the motion could be modified to authorize an increase in Dr. Barnhart's allowance.Mr. Collazo moved to modify the motion to give negotiation authority up to and to exceed$30,000 for Dr. Barnhart's relocation allowance; Mr. Kevin Webber seconded the motion. Mr.Slyman asked if there was any discussion on the amended motion making the relocationallowance from $20,000 to $30,000. The motion stays the same as Mr. Wilson originally made,with this amended motion to not exceed a relocation allowance of $30,000, the motion wasunanimously approved.
