NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. EMPLOYMENT, POSITIONS AND DUTIES. The Company hereby employs Employee upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Employee acknowledges and agrees that he will be a leased employee only to Kaiser.

In such capacity, Employee shall have the responsibilities and duties normally incident to such positions, including, but not limited to, those duties and responsibilities set forth in Schedule “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference and such other duties and responsibilities as may be reasonably assigned to him from time-to-time by ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ President or Chief Executive Officer. Employee’s business time commitment to the Company and as a leased employee to Kaiser at ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ corporate offices will be an average of six (6) days per month with Employee’s work schedule to be coordinated with ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Chief Executive Officer. There shall be no reduction in Employee’s annual base salary or benefits as a result of Employee’s reduced time commitment as provided herein. Kaiser and Employee acknowledge the need for flexibility in Employee’s work schedule so that Employee agrees to adjust his general schedule to give priority to, assist in the preparation for, and attend important meetings for Kaiser or the Company that may occasionally be scheduled at times other than Employee’s general work schedule.

2. TERM AND CREDIT FOR PAST EMPLOYMENT. Employee’s employment under the terms of this Agreement shall commence as of January 1, 2007, and shall continue for a minimum of five (5) years from the effective date of this Agreement (“Initial Term”)

Notwithstanding the date of the commencement of this Agreement, for purposes of the calculation of benefits or for any other similar purpose, the Company shall credit Employee with the time he was employed by the Company, Kaiser or any predecessor of Kaiser.

3. BASE SALARY. As of January 1, 2007, Employee’s annual base salary shall be $152,640. Prior to the first meeting of the Board of Managers in any calendar year, the Human Relations Committee of the Board will review Employee’s salary and report its recommendations for any revision to the full Board at such meeting and will communicate its review to the Company.

The entire Board of Managers of Kaiser together with the Company have final responsibility for the review, approval or disapproval of any revisions to Employee’s annual base salary.

4. BONUS PROGRAM

a. INCENTIVE PERFORMANCE BASED BONUS PROGRAM. Employee acknowledges that in 2001 Kaiser discontinued it historical annual performance bonus program and that the Company is also terminating its discretionary cash bonus program simultaneously with the effective date of this Agreement. In lieu of these previous cash bonus programs, Employee shall be eligible for and be paid an incentive performance bonus in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Executive Officer New Revenue Incentive Participation Plan dated effective January 1, 2007, the terms of which are incorporated herein by this reference.

▇. ▇▇▇▇ VALLEY MRF INCENTIVE PERFORMANCE BONUS. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ interest in the West Valley MRF is sold while Employee is employed by the Company, Employee shall be paid a bonus upon the completion of such sale and collection of the sales price in amount equal to one percent (1.00%) of the net sales price of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ West Valley MRF interest in excess of the Target Value of $8,396,574 assigned to such interest in connection with the Class C and D Units as increased for cash distributions resulting from a recapitalization or refinancing of the West Valley MRF. No bonus shall be paid if the net sales price as may be increased for any cash distribution resulting from a recapitalization or refinancing of the West Valley MRF equals or is less than the Target Value assigned to the West Valley MRF. Such bonus, if any, shall be paid no later than thirty (30) days following the collection of the consideration for the sale of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ interest in the West Valley MRF. If the sale is in whole or in part on an installment basis, the bonus shall be paid to Employee on any installment payments as they are collected. In the event the sale is other than a cash transaction such as a merger, the bonus shall be measured by the value of the consideration received as if it was a cash transaction and the bonus earned shall may be paid to Employee in cash,

2

the merger consideration or in such other form as the Company may reasonable determine to implement the intent and purpose of this West Valley MRF incentive bonus.

5. ANNUAL GRANT OF CLASS A UNITS AND VESTING AND CONVERSION OF PREVIOUSLY GRANTED OPTIONS. During the term of this Agreement, the Company shall cause to be issued to Employee 25,000 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Class A Units as of January 15 of each year beginning as of January 15, 2007, if Employee is employed by the Company as of the immediately preceding December 31; provided, however, the amount of this annual grant of Class A Units shall be reviewed may be modified by the Company prior to the January 15, 2010 grant of Class A Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the annual grant of Class A Units may be delayed until the Employee complies with the provisions of Paragraph 6.b. below.

It is acknowledged and agreed that all options granted to Employee by Kaiser or its predecessor prior to the date of this Agreement are fully vested in Employee and all outstanding options to acquire Kaiser Ventures Inc. common stock have been converted to options to acquire Class A Units in Kaiser.

6. OTHER BENEFITS.

a. INSURANCE AND OTHER BENEFITS. Employee will be entitled to participate in all benefits provided by the Company to its employees and to senior executives in accordance with and subject to the Company’s policies and procedures as they may exist from time-to-time, including, but not limited to, medical and dental insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, 401(k) savings plan, any pension or retirement plan, deferred compensation plan, education and seminar reimbursement, car allowance, and reimbursement of reasonable expenses for company business. These benefits shall be at least at the same level as provided to Employee as of the day prior to the effective date of this Agreement except that contributions to the Company’s 401(k) savings plan, money purchase plan and supplemental executive retirement plan of the Company shall be appropriately modified to reflect the current compensation of Employee. Benefits shall also include life insurance for the benefit of Employee with a face amount of not less than that in effect as of December 31, 2002, with premium paid in accordance with the Company’s policies in effect on December 31, 2002, except that the Company may self-insure if insurance is not available on a commercially reasonably basis. In addition, the Company shall only be responsible for the payment of the premium for the first level (first one-third) of Employee’s life insurance benefit and the third level (the last one-third) of such coverage. Employee shall be responsible for the payment of the premium for the second level (second 1/3) of coverage. Employee shall be entitled to four (4) weeks of paid vacation per year.

b. ADDITIONAL WELLNESS BENEFITS. In addition to the benefits described above, the Company shall reimburse Employee for all costs associated with an annual physical not otherwise covered by insurance and the costs not otherwise covered by insurance for a more comprehensive physical exam and medical tests and evaluation every two years, including the costs that may be associated with a full body scan. Employee’s first comprehensive medical exam shall be completed by December 31, 2007,

3

with the next comprehensive exam to be completed by December 31, 2009, and shall continue thereafter every two years during the term of this Agreement. If as a result of any annual physical Employee is diagnosed with a medical condition that may reasonably be considered to materially impact Employee’s performance of his duties under this Agreement, Employee shall promptly advise the Chairman of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Human Relations Committee of such diagnosis. In the event Employee does not complete the comprehensive medical exam every two years as provided herein, Employee’s annual grant of Class A Units shall be delayed until such time as Employee complies with this comprehensive medical exam requirement. For example, if Employee fails to have a comprehensive medical exam completed by December 31, 2007, the annual grant of Class A Units to Employee which Employee would have received on January 15, 2008 will be delayed until such time as Employee completes the required comprehensive medical exam. The Company may also pay or reimburse Employee for certain other reasonable health and wellness benefits as may be pre-approved by the Company. Employee shall provide to the General Counsel of the Company written notice that he has completed the comprehensive medical exam as provided herein together with reasonable documentation that such exam was performed.

a. if the termination occurs during the Initial Term, Employee shall be paid two (2) years of annual base salary;

b. the Company shall continue to provide and pay its portion of all of Employee’s health insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, life insurance, wellness, welfare and other benefits for a period of twenty four (24) months following the date of termination, including the Company’s portion of any retirement and deferred compensation plans such as the Company’s 401(k) plan and SERP, as applicable. After such termination, Employee shall be entitled, for a period of three years to exercise his Equity Incentives as to any then vested, including any options vesting within one year of termination as provided in the next sentence, notwithstanding any other applicable provision contained in any option agreement. In addition to the foregoing, with respect to any restricted Equity Incentives, Employee shall continue to vest in such securities for a period of one-year following termination.

All amounts due Employee shall be payable in one lump sum or as may be mutually agreed upon between Employee and the Company as may be permitted under applicable law. Employee shall have no duty to seek other employment during this period of time and there shall be no offset for any compensation paid to Employee from any other source.

a. The assignment to Employee of duties materially and adversely inconsistent with Employee’s positions at Kaiser as a leased employee as of the effective date of this Agreement. This includes a change in reporting responsibilities, authority including title, or responsibilities; provided, however, a lateral transfer within Kaiser or to an Affiliate shall not be deemed a constructive termination;

b. Any requirement that Employee permanently relocate to an office more than 50 miles from the then location to which he is assigned as of the effective date of this Agreement; and/or

c.

then, at Employee’s option, exercisable within ninety (90) days of the date Employee knew, or should have known exercising reasonable care, of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events and the expiration of any applicable cure period, Employee shall have the right to terminate his employment by written notice to the Company, and on the date of such termination the Company will pay Employee the compensation and benefits described in Paragraph 11 below.

In the event of Employee’s voluntary termination of employment, the Company shall not be obligated to pay Employee any additional compensation, other than the compensation due and owing as the date of termination and as may be required by law, as well as any compensation or amounts that may be due under various compensation and retirement and deferred compensation plans as provided in Paragraph 15 below.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan; (iii) Class C and D Units; and (iv) Executive Officer New Revenue Incentive Participation Plan.

16. POSSIBLE REDUCTION IN CERTAIN BENEFITS.

a. Except as provided in Paragraph 17.b. below, Employee shall in no circumstances receive “payments in the nature of compensation” from the Company which would result in “excess parachute payments” (as that term is defined in Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, or any equivalent or analogous term as shall in the future be defined in any law or regulation governing the amount of severance compensation that may be paid without penalty to an officer of a company upon a change in control of the Company). In the event either Employee or the Company shall be advised in writing by his or its counsel that Employee would receive excess parachute payments if all payments under all contacts between Employee and the Company were made, such opinion shall be confidentially disclosed to the other party. If it is mutually determined that such payments would trigger the excess parachute payments provisions, Employee shall receive only such compensation and benefits under his contracts with the Company (not to exceed those permitted without constituting excess parachute payments) which he, in his sole discretion, has designated in written notice to the Company. Employee shall have a minimum of thirty (30) days in which to make such written designation. In the event of a disagreement between the counsel of the respective parties as to whether a payment would result in excess parachute payments, such counsel shall jointly designate an independent tax counsel (whose fees shall be paid by the Company) within 10 days who shall promptly make a conclusive determination of the matter.

b. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary, in the event Employee is terminated pursuant to Paragraph 7 above, Employee shall have the right, in his sole discretion, to elect to receive all or any part of the compensation payable to him upon termination (or which would have been due under Paragraph 7, but for a previous election under Paragraph 17.a.) without regard to whether any such amounts may constitute “excess parachute payments.” If Employee fails to provide the Company a written designation within thirty (30) days, he shall be presumed to have elected to receive all compensation and benefits due him without regard to whether any such compensation or benefits shall constitute “excess parachute payments.”

7

c. Nothing in this Paragraph 17 shall be construed or deemed to be a forfeiture of any compensation or benefits that Employee may elect not to accelerate due to any concern about the receipt of “excess parachute payments

17. CONFIDENTIALITY.

a. EMPLOYEE’S OBLIGATIONS. Employee agrees that (a) except as provided in this Agreement Employee shall maintain the confidential nature of any Proprietary Information received or acquired by him, and (b) Employee shall use such Proprietary Information solely for the purpose of meeting his obligations under this Agreement and not in connection with any other business or activity. “Proprietary Information” means all oral, written or recorded information about or related to the Company, Kaiser or any of their Affiliates or its or their technology, assets, liabilities, or business, whether acquired before or after the date hereof, and regardless of the manner in which it is acquired, together with any documents or other materials prepared by Employee which contain or reflect such information.

In addition, Employee and the Company and, Kaiser or any Affiliate is permitted to disclose any Proprietary Information as necessary in the defense or prosecution of any legal action.

d. ACTIONS IF DISCLOSURE REQUIRED. If Employee is required by law to make any disclosure otherwise prohibited hereunder, such party shall use its best efforts to provide the other with prompt prior notice where possible so that (a) the other party (with the reasonable cooperation of the party required to make such disclosure) may seek an appropriate protection order or other remedy and/or (b) the parties can seek in good faith to agree on the appropriate scope and approach to disclosure. If a protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the party required to make such disclosure may furnish only that portion of information protection hereby which it is legally compelled to disclose and shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment for all information so disclosed.
