Amendment to Employment Agreement of Terry L. Cook, effective December 15, 2004

 EXHIBIT 10.1 
  
 AMENDMENT 
 TO THE 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 OF 
 TERRY L. COOK 
  
 This AMENDMENT TO THE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT OF TERRY L. COOK (the “Amendment”) is made and entered into as of December 15, 2004, by and between TERRY L. COOK (“Employee”) and BUSINESS STAFFING, INC. (the
“Company”). 
  
 RECITALS

  
 A. Employee is currently employed by the Company as
Executive Vice President-Administration and General Counsel of Kaiser Ventures, LLC under an existing Employment Agreement with the Company dated as of January 1, 2002 (the “Employment Agreement”); and 
  
 B. Employee and the Company have mutually agreed to the modification of
certain provisions of the Employment Agreement and therefore Employee and the Company desire to amend the Employment Agreement solely as provided herein. 
  
 NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows: 
  
 1. Addition of Section 3A of the Employment Agreement.
A new Section 3A is hereby added to the Employment Agreement: 
  
 3A. OPTION TO REDUCE COMMITMENT AND SALARY. The parties will seek in good faith to develop a mutually acceptable plan to
accommodate any future reduction in the need of the Company and/or Kaiser for Employee’s full time services. However, the Company may unilaterally elect by written notice to reduce Employee’s employment commitment at any time, and if it
does, the annual salary of Employee thereafter will be reduced by a similar percentage, but not more than 20% (unless Employee consents in writing). Once the Company has elected to reduce Employee’s time commitment under this Section, it may
not subsequently increase that commitment without Employee’s agreement. Any reduction in base salary under this Section 3A shall not affect the calculation of any amounts due under subparagraphs 11.b and 11.c on termination. 
  
 (a) Mitigation. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, if the
Company elects to reduce Employee’s employment commitment to less than 80% of full time under this Section 3A, Employee shall in good faith seek other employment to fill his time not required under this Employment Agreement. Any compensation
for Employee from any such other work with respect to any calendar year shall be (1) retained by Employee until he has retained an amount equal to any reduction in his salary under the first paragraph this Section 3A with respect to that year (but
not prior or future years) and then (2) paid to the Company until it has received an amount equal to the Excess Amount with respect to that year (but not prior or future years); and then (3) any additional amounts in that calendar year retained by
the Employee. The “Excess Amount” is the amount of salary paid by the Company in excess of a pro rata portion as a result of the limitation in this Section 3A on unilateral salary reductions to 20%. Thus, for example, if Employee
has an salary of $100, and the Company elects to reduce his time commitment to 65%, 
  

 1 

 his salary would be reduced to $80 (based on the maximum reduction of 20%), and the Excess Amount would
be $15 (15% (the 80% guaranteed less the 65% commitment) times the $100 salary). Employee would have an obligation to seek additional employment, and each year he would retain the first $20 of earnings from such employment, and then pay the next $15
to the Company, and retain any additional amounts. 
  
 (b)
Limitations on Work. Notwithstanding any reduction under this Section 3A, (i) no other endeavor of Employee will interfere with Employee’s ability to carry out his duties hereunder; and (ii) any such endeavor will shall not
conflict with Employee’s duties and obligation under this Agreement or his duties as an officer of Kaiser, as determined in the reasonable opinion of the Board of Directors of this Company and in the reasonable opinion of the Board of Managers
of Kaiser. Prior to accepting or engaging in any endeavor, Employee shall give the Board of Directors of the Company and the Board of Managers of Kaiser written notice of the proposed endeavor describing in sufficient detail the work to be
undertaken by Employee so as to allow the Board of Directors of the Company and the Board of Managers of Kaiser to make an informed decision on whether such proposed endeavor may violate the restrictions specified in clauses (i) and/or (ii) of this
Paragraph 3A. The Board of Directors of the Company and the Board of Managers of Kaiser shall make a determination of Employee’s request as soon as reasonably possible. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Employee shall not be required to seek
advance consent of the endeavor if it is not reasonably anticipated to continue beyond thirty (30) days from inception and it clearly does not conflict with Employee’s duties and obligations under this Agreement or as an officer of the Company
or Kaiser. 
  
 2. Termination. The period under subparagraph 11.f of
the Employment Agreement for (i) provision of Employee’s health, welfare, insurance and other benefits and (ii) continuation of vesting of any Equity Incentives shall be extended until the later of (a) December 31, 2008 or (b) 12 months
following the date of termination. If the Company and Kaiser is not reasonably able to continue any of such benefits because of terminating one or more plans or because of eligibility rules thereunder, it may instead reimburse Employee for the
reasonable costs to obtain substantially similar benefits. In addition, the a new subparagraph 11.g shall be added to the Employment Agreement: 
  
 g. if the termination occurs before December 31, 2007, the Company shall continue to pay to Employee the annual base salary that would have been paid to
Employee (adjusted as provided under Section 3A) on a bimonthly basis (and not in a lump sum) through December 31, 2007. 
  
 3. Ratification of Employment Agreement as Amended. The Employment Agreement is not amended in any respect except as expressly provided herein, and
the Employment Agreement as amended by this Amendment is hereby ratified and approved in all respects. 
  
 4. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

 (g) “Participant” means a person who has been granted an

 (i) “Performance Period” means the period of time over and within which performance is measured for the

 Section 3. Administration; Eligibility; Termination and Amendment.  
  
 (a) Administration. The Committee shall have full power and authority
to construe, interpret and administer the Plan. All decisions, actions or interpretations of the Committee shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon all parties. 
  
 (b) Eligibility. Participants in the Plan shall be selected by the Committee in its discretion from among the
executive officers and senior managers of the Company. In making this selection and in determining the form and amount of awards, the Committee may consider any factors it deems relevant, including, without limitation, the individuals’
functions, responsibilities, value of services to the Company and past and potential contributions to the Company’s profitability and growth. 
  
 (c) Term. The Plan shall commence on the date determined by the Committee, which is expected to be the start of fiscal 2005, and may continue in
full force and effect until terminated by the Committee. 
  
 (d)
Amendment and Termination. The Committee reserves the right at any time to amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan in whole or in part and for any reason and without the consent of any Participant; provided that any outstanding Award
shall not be materially adversely affected without the consent of the Participant. 
  
 Section 4. Cash Awards.  
  
 (a) Generally. Cash-based Awards that are granted by the Committee shall be earned if and to the extent the Company achieves Performance Goals as specified by the Committee hereunder. The Committee may also determine to consider a
Participant’s individual performance making Awards hereunder and may condition receipt of payment of an Award on vesting beyond the Performance Period. 
  
 (b) Business Criteria. The Committee shall determine the business criteria for the Company that shall be used in establishing Performance Goals for
such Awards. These criteria may include earnings per share, revenues, bookings, expenses, gross profit, operating income, net income, cash flow, capital expenditures, working capital, economic value added, stock price per share, market value,
enterprise value, book value, return on equity, return on book value, return on invested capital, return on asset, capital structure, return on investment, and/or utilization. The Committee expects the initial Performance Goals to be earnings per
share and bookings growth. The Committee shall determine the target level of performance that must be achieved with respect to each criterion that is identified in a Performance Goal in order for a Performance Goal to be treated as attained as well
as the incremental effect of achieving performance greater than the target. 
  

 2 

 (c) Performance Period; Timing for Establishing Performance Goals. Achievement of Performance
Goals in respect of such Awards shall be measured over a Performance Period established by the Committee. In addition, the Committee may specify a vesting period for payment of the Award that may be longer than the Performance Period. Initially, the
Performance Period is expected to be one fiscal year with vesting after three years. If necessary and desired to meet the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code for any Participant, the Performance Goals shall be established in writing not later
than 90 days after the beginning of any Performance Period applicable to such Award. 
  
 (d) Payment. 
  
 (i) General. Except as otherwise set forth herein or determined by the Committee, a Participant must be an active employee in good standing and on the Company’s or an approved subsidiary’s payroll on the day the Award is
paid to receive any portion of the Award. A Participant who is not actively employed or on an approved payroll for whatever reason on the date an Award is paid is not entitled to a partial or pro rata Award. The Committee may make exceptions in its
sole discretion. 
  
 (ii) Involuntary
Termination. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee when granting an Award, if a Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated without Cause before an outstanding Award has been paid, then: (A) if such termination occurs
after completion of the applicable Performance Period in which the Performance Goals were met but before vesting of the Award, the Participant shall receive payment of the Award; or (B) if such termination occurs during a Performance Period, then
the Participant shall receive a pro-rated portion of the Award based on performance to date under the Performance Period as determined by the Committee, with a maximum payment based on such Participant’s target level. 
  
 (iii) Death of Participant. In the event of the death
of a Participant after an Award has been granted but before payment of the Award, the amount of the Award shall be paid to the Participant’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to the Award by bequest or inheritance. 
  
 (iv) Change of Control. With respect to any
Participant who is subject to a Change of Control Agreement, upon an Involuntary Termination (as defined in a Change of Control Agreement) of such Participant during the Change of Control Period (as defined in a Change of Control Agreement), such
Participant shall receive a pro-rated portion of any outstanding Award based on performance to date under each Performance Period as determined by the Committee. 
  

 3 

 Section 5. Equity Awards. The Committee may grant equity awards to Participants as part of its
long-term incentive program. Any equity awards will be granted under the Company’s Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option Plan or such other equity incentive plan as designated by the Committee (in any case, the “Equity Plan”).
The terms and conditions of any such equity awards shall be as set forth in the applicable Equity Plan and as determined by the Committee. 
  
 Section 6. General Provisions.  
  
 (a) Limits on Transferability; Beneficiaries. No Award under the Plan shall be assignable or transferable by the Participant thereof, except by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution, unless the Committee shall elect to permit such an assignment or transfer in its sole discretion. 
  
 (b) Withholding. Whenever payments under the Plan are to be made, the Company will withhold therefrom, or from any other amounts payable to or in
respect of the Participant, an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable governmental withholding tax requirements related thereto. 
  
 (c) Unfunded Status of Awards; Creation of Trusts. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan. With respect to any payments
not yet made to a Participant or other obligations under an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company. 
  
 (d) Nonexclusivity of the Plan. The adoption of the Plan by the Board
shall not be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or a committee thereof to adopt such other incentive arrangements, apart from the Plan, as it may deem desirable. 
  
 (e) Compliance with Section 162(m). The Committee may determine to
submit the Plan for approval by the Company’s stockholders for purposes of qualifying Awards to executives covered under Section 162(m) of the Code and regulations thereunder (“Section 162(m)”) as “performance based
compensation” with the meaning of Section 162(m), to the extent consistent with the business goals of the Company. If the Committee has made that determination, in connection with language that is designated as intended to comply with Section
162(m) of the Code, the terms of the Plan shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with Section 162(m). If any provision of the Plan or any Award document relating to an Award that is designated as intended to comply with Section 162(m) does not
comply or is inconsistent with the requirements of Section 162(m), such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements, and no provision shall be deemed to confer upon the Committee or any
other person discretion to increase the amount of compensation otherwise payable in connection with any such Award upon attainment of the applicable performance objectives. 
  

 4 

 (f) Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan, any rules and regulations
relating to the Plan and any Award document shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws, and applicable provisions of federal law. 
  
 (g) Limitation on Rights Conferred under Plan. Neither the Plan nor
any action taken hereunder shall be construed as (i) giving any Participant the right to continue in the employ or service of the Company, (ii) interfering in any way with the right of the Company to terminate any Participant’s employment or
service at any time (subject to the terms and provisions of any separate written agreements), or (iii) giving a Participant any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan or to be treated uniformly with other Participants and employees.

  
 (h) Severability; Entire Agreement. If any of the
provisions of this Plan or any Award document is finally held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable (whether in whole or in part), such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability, and the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby; provided, that, if any of such provisions is finally held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable because it exceeds the maximum scope determined to be acceptable
to permit such provision to be enforceable, such provision shall be deemed to be modified to the minimum extent necessary to modify such scope in order to make such provision enforceable hereunder. The Plan and any Award documents contain the entire
agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersede all prior agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations and warranties between them, whether written or oral with respect to the
subject matter thereof.
