            This Employment Agreement (this "Agreement") is entered into as
of September 28, 2005 between Landauer, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and William E. Saxelby (the "Executive").

            WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ the Executive to serve
as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and the Executive
desires to be employed by the Company, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth herein.

            NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
agreements contained herein, 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 be employed by the Company
upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement.
The term of employment of the Executive by the Company pursuant to this
Agreement shall commence on September 28, 2005 (the "Effective Date") and,
unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 4 hereof, shall end on the
fifth anniversary of the Effective Date (the "Initial Term"); provided that
the term of this Agreement shall be extended automatically for one
additional year as of each anniversary of the Effective Date, commencing
with the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date, unless no later than 90
days prior to any such renewal date either the Board of Directors of the
Company (the "Board"), on behalf of the Company, or the Executive gives
written notice to the other that the term of this Agreement shall not be so
extended.  The Initial Term and any extension of the Initial Term pursuant
to this Section 1 shall be referred to herein as the "Employment Period."

            2.    POSITION AND DUTIES; RESPONSIBILITIES; BOARD SERVICE.

            (a)   POSITION AND DUTIES.  The Company shall employ the
Executive during the Employment Period as its President and Chief Executive
Officer.  The Executive shall report to the Board.  During the Employment
Period, the Executive shall perform faithfully and loyally and to the best
of the Executive's abilities the duties assigned to the Executive hereunder
and shall devote the Executive's full business time, attention and effort
to the affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries and shall use the
Executive's reasonable best efforts to promote the interests of the Company
and its subsidiaries.  The Executive may engage in charitable, civic or
community activities, manage his personal investments and, with the prior
approval of the Board (which approval has been granted with respect to the
Executive's position as a director of Sunrise Medical, Inc.), may serve as
a director of any other business corporation, provided that such activities
or service do not materially interfere with the Executive's duties
hereunder or violate the terms of any of the covenants contained in
Sections 6, 7 or 8 hereof.

            (b)   RESPONSIBILITIES.  Subject to the powers, authority and
responsibilities vested in the Board and in duly constituted committees of

inconsistent with the position of President and Chief Executive Officer) on
behalf of the Company and its subsidiaries as may from time to time be
authorized or directed by the Board.

            (c)   BOARD SERVICE.  Promptly following the Effective Date,
the Executive will be appointed as a member of the Board to fill a vacancy
in the class of directors whose current term expires in 2008.  Throughout
the period of the Executive's employment pursuant to this Agreement, the
Company shall take all reasonable and lawful action necessary and
appropriate to cause the Executive to be nominated for and elected to the
Board.

            3.    COMPENSATION.

            (a)  BASE SALARY.  During the Employment Period, the Company
shall pay to the Executive a base salary at the initial rate of $350,000
per annum, payable in accordance with the Company's executive payroll
policy.  Such base salary shall be reviewed annually, and shall be subject
to such increases from the then existing Base Salary (and not decreases),
if any, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board in
accordance with Company's compensation practices for executive officers.
The Executive's annual base salary in effect from time to time under this
Section 3(a) is hereinafter referred to as "Base Salary."

            (b)   ANNUAL INCENTIVE BONUS.  Beginning with the 2006 fiscal
year (which commences on October 1, 2005), the Executive shall be entitled
to participate in the Company's Incentive Compensation Plan for Executive
Officers (the "Incentive Plan") in accordance with the terms of such plan.
The target incentive bonus opportunity for the Executive for each fiscal
year under the Incentive Plan shall be not less than 50% of the Executive's
Base Salary in effect at the beginning of such fiscal year.  The actual
incentive bonus payable for 2006 and for any subsequent year shall be based
upon objective criteria established and approved by the Compensation
Committee of the Board after consultation with the Executive; provided,
however, that the Executive's bonus for the 2006 fiscal year shall not be
less than $175,000.

            (c)   OTHER BENEFITS.  During the Employment Period, the
Executive shall be entitled to participate in the Company's employee
benefit plans generally available to executives of the Company (such
benefits being hereinafter referred to as the "Employee Benefits").  The
Executive shall be entitled to take time off for vacation or illness in
accordance with the Company's policies and to receive all fringe benefits
and perquisites as are from time to time made generally available to senior
executives of the Company.

            (d)   STOCK OPTIONS.   On the Effective Date, as has been
approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board, the Executive shall be
granted non-qualified stock options (the "Options") to purchase 50,000
shares of common stock, par value $.10 per share, of the Company (the
"Common Stock").  The exercise price of the Options shall be the fair
market value (the average of the high and low sales prices on the New York
Stock Exchange on such date) of the Common Stock on the date of grant, the
Options shall have a term of 10 years and shall be immediately exercisable.

Except as otherwise provided in the Option Agreement (defined below), the
shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Options may not be
transferred by the Executive until after the third anniversary of the
Effective Date.  The Options shall be subject to the terms and provisions
of the Company's 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2005 LTIP") and the
Stock Option Agreement ("Option Agreement") relating to the Options, which
Option Agreement shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

            (e)   RESTRICTED STOCK.  On the Effective Date, as has been
approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board, the Executive shall be
granted 3,500 shares of restricted Common Stock (the "Restricted Stock").
One-third of the shares of Restricted Stock shall become vested on each of
the first three anniversaries of the Effective Date.   The Restricted Stock
shall be subject to the terms and provisions of the 2005 LTIP and the
Restricted Stock Agreement ("Restricted Stock Agreement") relating to the
Restricted Stock, which Restricted Stock Agreement shall be in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B.  The Executive may, but is not required to,
make an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, with respect to the Restricted Stock.

            (f)   LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AWARDS.  Beginning with the 2006
fiscal year, the Executive shall be eligible to receive long-term incentive
awards, commensurate with the Executive's position as President and Chief
Executive Officer, under the Company's Long-Term Incentive (LTI) program
(substantially as described in the attached summary of the LTI program, as
revised at the April 8, 2004 meeting of the Board, but substituting the
Executive for the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company
named therein), as such program may be amended from time to time by the
Compensation Committee of the Board in its sole discretion.

            (g)   SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFIT.  If (i) the Executive is
employed by the Company on the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date,
(ii) the Executive is earlier terminated without Cause (as defined below),
or (iii) following a "Change in Control" (as defined in the Landauer, Inc.
Executive Special Severance Plan), the Executive is terminated, then, in
any such case, the Executive shall be entitled to receive, following his
termination, a supplemental pension under the Supplemental Key Executive
Retirement Plan of Landauer, Inc. determined in accordance with the terms
thereof; provided, however, that the Executive's supplemental pension shall
be calculated as if the Executive had completed 20 years of service with
the Company.

            (h)   EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT.  The Company shall reimburse the
Executive, in accordance with the Company's policies and procedures, for

connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement in an
amount not to exceed $10,000.

            4.    TERMINATION.

            (a)   DEATH.  Upon the death of the Executive, all rights of
the Executive and the Executive's heirs, executors and administrators to

      year in which the Executive's termination of employment occurs)
      through and including the Executive's date of death;

            (iv)  other Employee Benefits to which the Executive was
      entitled on the date of death in accordance with the terms of the
      plans and programs of the Company; and

            (b)   DISABILITY.  The Company may, at its option, terminate
the Executive's employment upon written notice to the Executive if the
Executive, because of physical or mental incapacity or disability, fails to
perform the essential functions of the Executive's position, with or
without reasonable accommodation, required of the Executive hereunder for a
continuous period of 120 days or any 180 days within any 12-month period.
Upon such termination, the Executive's entitlement to compensation and

      date of the Executive's termination of employment;

            (ii)  the amount of any bonus earned and payable but not yet
      paid for the fiscal year prior to the year in which the Executive's
      termination of employment occurs;

            (iii) prorated annual incentive bonus (based on the target
      bonus under the Incentive Plan  or any successor plan for the fiscal
      year in which the Executive's termination of employment occurs)
      through and including the effective date of the Executive's
      termination of employment;

            (iv)  other Employee Benefits to which the Executive is

      of the plans and programs of the Company; and

            (v)   the treatment of the Options and Restricted Stock granted
      to the Executive pursuant to Sections 3(d) and (e) hereof in
      accordance with the terms thereof.

In the event of any dispute regarding the existence of the Executive's
incapacity or disability hereunder, the matter shall be resolved by the
determination of a physician selected by the Board and reasonably
acceptable to the Executive.  The Executive shall submit to appropriate
medical examinations for purposes of such determination.

            (c)   CAUSE.

            (i)   The Company may, at its option, terminate the Executive's
      employment under this Agreement for Cause (as hereinafter defined)
      upon written notice to the Executive (the "Cause Notice").  The Cause
      Notice shall state the particular action(s) or inaction(s) giving
      rise to termination for Cause.  No action(s) or inaction(s) will
      constitute Cause unless (1) a resolution finding that Cause exists
      has been approved by a majority of all of the members of the Board at
      a meeting at which the Executive is allowed to appear with his legal
      counsel and (2) where remedial action is feasible, the Executive
      fails to remedy the action(s) or inaction(s) within 10 days after
      receiving the Cause Notice.  If the Executive so effects a cure to
      the reasonable satisfaction of the Board, the Cause Notice shall be
      deemed rescinded and of no force or effect.

            (ii)  As used in this Agreement, the term "Cause" shall mean
      any one or more of the following:

                  (A)   any willful refusal by the Executive to follow
            lawful directives of the Board which are consistent with the
            scope and nature of the Executive's duties and responsibilities
            as set forth herein;

                  (B)   the Executive's conviction of, or plea of guilty or
            nolo contendere to, a felony or of any crime involving moral
            turpitude, fraud or embezzlement;

                  (C)   any gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
            Executive resulting in a material loss to the Company or any of
            its subsidiaries, or material damage to the reputation of the
            Company or any of its subsidiaries;

                                      4


<PAGE>


                  (D)   any material breach by the Executive of any one or
            more of the covenants contained in Section 6, 7 or 8 hereof; or

                  (E)   any violation of any statutory or common law duty
            of loyalty to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

            (iii) The exercise of the right of the Company to terminate
      this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4(c) shall not abrogate the
      rights or remedies of the Company in respect of the breach giving
      rise to such termination.

            (iv)  If the Company terminates the Executive's employment for
      Cause, the Executive's entitlement to compensation and benefits shall
      cease immediately, except that the Executive shall be entitled to the
      payments and benefits specified in Sections 4(b)(i), 4(b)(ii) and
      4(b)(iv) hereof.

            (d)   TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE.  The Company may, at its
option, terminate the Executive's employment under this Agreement upon
written notice to the Executive for a reason other than a reason set forth
in Section 4(a), 4(b) or 4(c).  Any such termination shall be authorized by
the Board.  If the Company terminates the Executive's employment for any
such reason, the Executive's entitlement to compensation and benefits shall
cease immediately, except that the Executive shall be entitled to:

            (i)   the payments and benefits specified in Sections 4(b)(i)
      through 4(b)(iv) hereof, inclusive;

            (ii)  the treatment of the Options and Restricted Stock granted
      to the Executive pursuant to Sections 3(d) and (e) hereof in
      accordance with the terms thereof;

            (iii) a lump sum cash payment equal to the product of (x) two,

      hereof.

            As used in this Agreement, the term "Prior Bonus" shall mean
the average of the annual incentive bonus earned under the Incentive Plan
(including any bonus earned and payable but not yet paid) for the last
three full fiscal years (or such shorter period during which the Executive
has been an employee of the Company); provided that, if the Executive is
not employed by the Company on September 30, 2006, the Prior Bonus for the
2006 fiscal year only shall be the target incentive bonus for such year.

            (e)   VOLUNTARY TERMINATION.  Upon 60 days prior written notice
to the Company (or such shorter period as may be permitted by the Board),
the Executive may voluntarily terminate the Executive's employment with the
Company for any reason.  If the Executive voluntarily terminates the
Executive's employment pursuant to this Section 4(e), the Executive's
entitlement to compensation and benefits shall cease immediately, except
that the Executive shall be entitled to the payments and benefits specified
in Sections 4(b)(i), 4(b)(ii) and 4(b)(iv) hereof.

            (f)   TERMINATION FOR GOOD REASON.

            (i)   Upon 30 days prior written notice to the Company (or such
      shorter period as may be permitted by the Board), the Executive may
      voluntarily terminate the Executive's employment with Good Reason (as
      hereinafter defined).  If the Executive voluntarily terminates the
      Executive's employment pursuant to this Section 4(f), the Executive's
      entitlement to compensation and benefits shall cease immediately,
      except that the Executive shall be entitled to:

                  (A)   the payments and benefits specified in Sections
            4(b)(i) through 4(b)(iv) hereof, inclusive;

            hereof in accordance with the terms thereof; and

                  (C)   a lump sum cash payment equal to the product of (x)
            two, and (y) the sum of the Base Salary and the Prior Bonus.

            (ii)  As used in this Agreement, the term "Good Reason" shall
      mean during the Employment Period, without the written consent of the
      Executive, any one or more of the following, provided that an
      isolated, insubstantial or inadvertent action not taken in bad faith
      or failure not occurring in bad faith which is remedied by the
      Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the
      Executive shall not constitute Good Reason:

                  (A)   the assignment to the Executive of any duties
            materially inconsistent in any respect with the Executive's
            position (including status, offices, titles and reporting
            requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities as
            contemplated by this Agreement;

                  (B)   any failure by the Company to comply with the
            provisions of Section 3 hereof;

                  (C)   any requirement by the Company that the Executive's
            principal office be located more than 50 miles from the corner
            of State and Madison Streets in Chicago, Illinois; or

                  (D)   any other material breach by the Company of this
            Agreement.


            5.    FEDERAL AND STATE WITHHOLDING.  The Company shall deduct
from the amounts payable to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement the
amount of all required federal, state and local withholding taxes in
accordance with the Executive's Form W-4 on file with the Company, and all
applicable federal employment taxes.

            6.    NONCOMPETITION; NONSOLICITATION.

            (a)   GENERAL.  The Executive acknowledges that in the course
of the Executive's employment with the Company the Executive has and will

concerning the Company and its subsidiaries and that the Executive's
services will be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company
and its subsidiaries.

            (b)   NONCOMPETITION.  The Executive agrees that, provided that
the Company continues to be in material compliance with its obligations to
the Executive under this Agreement, during the period of the Executive's
employment with the Company and for a period of two years thereafter (the

otherwise, engage or be engaged, or assist any other person, firm,
corporation or enterprise in engaging or being engaged, in any business, in

provided that the Company continues to be in material compliance with its
obligations to the Executive under this Agreement, except for personnel
actions taken in the course of his employment hereunder, during the

or indirectly, induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company or
any of its subsidiaries to terminate or abandon his or her employment for
any purpose whatsoever or (ii) in connection with any business to which

            7.    CONFIDENTIALITY.  The Executive shall not, at any time
during the Employment Period or thereafter, make use of or disclose,
directly or indirectly, any (i) trade secret or other confidential or
secret information of the Company or of any of its subsidiaries or (ii)
other technical, business, proprietary or financial information of the
Company or of any of its subsidiaries not available to the public generally
or to the competitors of the Company or to the competitors of any of its
subsidiaries ("Confidential Information"), except to the extent that such
Confidential Information (a) becomes a matter of public record or is
published in a newspaper, magazine or other periodical or on electronic or
other media available to the general public, other than as a result of any
act or omission of the Executive, (b) is required to be disclosed by any
law, regulation or order of any court or regulatory commission, department
or agency, provided that the Executive gives prompt notice of such

Information which the Executive may then possess or have under the
Executive's control (together with all copies thereof).

            8.    INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.  The Executive shall not, at any
time, have or claim any right, title or interest in any trade name, patent,
trademark, copyright, trade secret, intellectual property, methodologies,
technologies, procedures, concepts, ideas or other similar rights
(collectively, "Intellectual Property") belonging to the Company or any of
its affiliates and shall not have or claim any right, title or interest in
or to any material or matter of any kind prepared for or used in connection









                                      7


<PAGE>


with the business or promotion of the Company or any of its affiliates,
whether produced, prepared or published in whole or in part by the
Executive or by the Company or any of its affiliates.  All Intellectual
Property that is conceived, devised, made, developed or perfected by the
Executive, alone or with others, during the Executive's employment that is
related in any way to the Company's or any of its affiliates' business or
is devised, made, developed or perfected utilizing equipment or facilities
of the Company or its affiliates shall be promptly disclosed to the Board,
are works for hire and become the sole, absolute and exclusive property of
the Company.  If and to the extent that any of such Intellectual Property
should be determined for any reason not to be a work for hire, the
Executive hereby assigns to the Company all of the Executive's right, title
and interest in and to such Intellectual Property.  At the reasonable
request and expense of the Company but without charge to the Company,
whether during or at any time after the Executive's employment with the
Company, the Executive shall cooperate fully with the Company and its
affiliates in the securing of any trade name, patent, trademark, copyright
or intellectual property protection or other similar rights in the United
States and in foreign countries, including without limitation, the
execution and delivery of assignments, patent applications and other
documents or papers.   In accordance with the Illinois Employee Patent Act,
765 ILCS 1060, the Executive is hereby notified by the Company, and
understands, that the foregoing provisions do not apply to an invention for
which no equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information of the
Company was used and which was developed entirely on the Executive's own
time, unless (i) the invention relates (A) to the business of the Company
or (B) to the Company's actual or demonstrably anticipated research and
development, or (ii) the invention results from any work performed by the
Executive for the Company.

            9.    ENFORCEMENT.  The parties hereto agree that the Company
and its subsidiaries would be damaged irreparably in the event that any
provision of Section 6, 7 or 8 of this Agreement were not performed in
accordance with its terms or were otherwise breached and that money damages
would be an inadequate remedy for any such nonperformance or breach.
Accordingly, the Company and its successors and permitted assigns shall be
entitled, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor,
to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent any breach or threatened
breach of any of such provisions and to enforce such provisions

            12.   ARBITRATION.  Except as otherwise set forth in Section 9
hereof, any dispute or controversy between the Company and the Executive,
whether arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the breach of this
Agreement, or otherwise, shall be settled by arbitration in Chicago,
Illinois administered by the American Arbitration Association, with any
such dispute or controversy arising under this Agreement being so
administered in accordance with its Commercial Rules then in effect, and
judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any
court having jurisdiction thereof.  The arbitrator shall have the authority
to award any remedy or relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could
order or grant, including, without limitation, the issuance of an
injunction.  However, either party may, without inconsistency with this
arbitration provision, apply to any court having jurisdiction over such
dispute or controversy and seek interim provisional, injunctive or other
equitable relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy
is otherwise resolved.  Except as necessary in court proceedings to enforce
this arbitration provision or an award rendered hereunder, or to obtain
interim relief, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the
existence, content or results of any arbitration hereunder without the
prior written consent of the Company and the Executive.  The Company and
the Executive acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction
involving interstate commerce.  Notwithstanding any choice of law provision
included in this Agreement, the United States Federal Arbitration Act shall
govern the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision.

under this Agreement.
