    ESCROW
AGREEMENT

    

    This
Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow
Agreement”), is made and entered into this ____ day of December, 2007 by
and between M/I HOMES OF WEST
PALM BEACH, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Seller”), KLP EAST LLC, a Florida
limited liability company (“Purchaser”) and BROAD AND CASSEL, Attorneys at
Law (“Escrow
Agent”).

    

    BACKGROUND

    

    Seller and Purchaser are simultaneously
with the execution of this Escrow Agreement closing pursuant to an Agreement for
Purchase and Sale dated even date herewith (the “Purchase
Agreement”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement,
Purchaser and Seller have agreed to enter into this Escrow Agreement to govern
the delivery of certain Letter of Credit (hereinafter defined) and to govern the
collection and disbursement of any proceeds thereof in accordance with the
Purchase Agreement and the terms and provisions of this Escrow
Agreement.  Escrow Agent has agreed to serve as the Escrow Agent in
accordance with the terms of this Escrow Agreement.

    

    NOW THEREFORE, Seller, Purchaser and
Escrow Agent hereby agree as follows:

    

    1.           Recitals.  The
foregoing recitals are true and correct and are hereby incorporated by
reference.  All capitalized terms which are not defined in this Escrow
Agreement shall have the same meaning as defined in the Purchase
Agreement.

     

    2.           Letter of
Credit.  Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement,
Seller has delivered to Escrow Agent a letter of credit as described on Exhibit
“A”, attached hereto and made a part hereof (“Letter of
Credit”).  Escrow Agent shall hold the Letter of Credit in
accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and this Escrow
Agreement.  With respect to the Letter of Credit, Escrow Agent agrees
as follows:

     

    Escrow
Agent shall draw upon the Letter of Credit if Escrow Agent receives from
Purchaser a written statement that Seller is in “default under Paragraph 7 of
the Purchase Agreement, and all applicable cure periods have expired without
Seller curing such default.”  Escrow Agent shall then hold the
proceeds of such Letter of Credit as the Escrow Fund (hereinafter
defined).

     

    In the
event that the Letter of Credit is due to expire pursuant to its own terms and
the obligations under the Purchase Agreement secured by such Letter of Credit
have not yet been completed, Seller shall, at least, forty-five (45) days prior
to the expiration of such Letter of Credit, either (i) provide Escrow Agent with
an amendment to such expiring Letter of Credit, extending the expiration date
thereof, or (ii) substitute a new letter of credit for the expiring Letter of
Credit upon identical terms and  conditions and complying with the
terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement and this Escrow Agreement, or
(iii) replace the expiring Letter of Credit with a cash deposit by wire transfer
of funds to the Escrow Agent.  If Escrow Agent receives the cash
deposit to replace the expiring Letter of Credit, Escrow Agent shall return the
expiring Letter of Credit to Seller.  If Seller fails to take any of
the foregoing actions, then Escrow Agent shall, and each of Seller and Purchaser
hereby unconditionally authorize Escrow Agent to (x) present any such Letter of
Credit due to expire for payment and (y) hold the cash proceeds thereof in
escrow as part of the Escrow Fund, subject to disbursement as provided in
Paragraph 4 hereof.

     

    The
Letter of Credit is subject to reduction, from time to time, in accordance with
the terms and provisions of Paragraph 7.2 of the Purchase
Agreement.  To the extent that such reduction is permitted by the
terms of such paragraph, the parties shall cooperate as necessary to execute any
and all consents required by the issuing bank to so reduce the Letter of Credit
as permitted under the Purchase Agreement.

     

    3.           Establishment
of Escrow Fund.  To the extent that Escrow Agent receives cash
deposits pursuant to drawing upon the Letter of Credit as provided herein,
Escrow Agent shall hold such Cash Deposits (the “Escrow Fund”) in accordance
with the terms of this Escrow Agreement. Escrow Agent shall deposit the Escrow
Fund in Wachovia Bank, N.A. and shall hold and disburse the Escrow Fund in
accordance with the terms and provisions of Paragraph 4 hereof.  If
Seller delivers to Escrow  Agent a Form W-9, satisfactory to Escrow
Agent’s bank, the Escrow Fund shall be deposited in an interest bearing money
market account.  All interest earned on the Escrow Fund shall be added
to the Escrow Fund, subject to disbursement as provided in Paragraph 4
hereof.

     

    4.           Disbursement
of Escrow Fund.  All disbursements shall be made from the
Escrow Fund pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 7.7 of the Purchase
Agreement.

     

    5.           Liability
of Escrow Agent.  In performing any of its duties under this
Escrow Agreement, Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any loss, costs or damage
which it may incur as a result of serving as Escrow Agent hereunder, except for
any loss, cost or damages arising out of willful acts of malfeasance or gross
negligence.  Accordingly, Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability
with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken: (i) in good faith upon
advice of its counsel given with respect to any questions relating to the duties
and responsibilities of the Parties pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or this
Escrow Agreement; or (ii) in reliance upon any document, including any written

    GUARANTY

     

    In order
to induce Seller to execute deliver the foregoing Agreement for Purchase
and Sale (the “Agreement”), and for other
good and valuable considerations, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, Kolter Communities Florida LLC, a Florida limited liability
company (the “Guarantor”), hereby absolutely
and unconditionally guarantees to Seller, its successors and assigns, full and
prompt payment and performance by Purchaser of all obligations of Purchaser to
Seller under or pursuant to Paragraph 8 of the Agreement (the “Guaranteed
Obligations”).  Guarantor acknowledges that Purchaser is an
Affiliate of Guarantor and that Guarantor therefore has received and will
receive valuable benefits as a result of the conveyance of the Real Property by
Seller to Purchaser.

     

    Guarantor
hereby waives acceptance and notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notice
of non-payment, non-performance or non-observance, and all other notices, proofs
or demands, except for notice of Purchaser’s breach or failure to perform as
provided above, and any and all other suretyship defenses to enforcement of this
Guaranty.  Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder will not be
terminated, affected or impaired by reason of the granting by Seller of any
indulgences to Purchaser or by reason of the assertion against Purchaser of any
of the rights or remedies reserved to Seller pursuant to the provisions of the
Agreement, or by the relief of Seller from any of the Purchaser's obligations
with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise,
including, without limitation, rejection of the Guaranteed Obligations in a
bankruptcy proceeding.  Guarantor further agrees that its liability
hereunder for the Guaranteed Obligations is and will be primary, and that in any
right of action which accrues to Seller with respect to the Guaranteed
Obligations, Seller may, at its option, proceed against the Guarantor and
Purchaser jointly or severally, and may proceed against Guarantor without having
commenced any action against or having obtained any judgment against
Purchaser.  Failure of Seller to insist in any one or more instances
upon strict performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions, or
covenants of this Guaranty, or to exercise any right therein or herein
contained, will not be construed or deemed to be a waiver or relinquishment for
the future of such term, provision, covenant or right, but the same will
continue and remain in full force and effect.  No assignment or other
transfer of the Agreement, or any interest therein, will operate to extinguish
or diminish the liability of Guarantor hereunder.  If Seller obtains a
judgment against Guarantor by reason of a breach of this Guaranty, Guarantor
will pay the reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in any collection or
attempted collection of the obligations hereby guaranteed or in enforcing this
Guaranty. If claim is ever made upon Seller for repayment or recovery of any
amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations and Seller repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any
judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having
jurisdiction over Seller or any of its property or (ii) any settlement or
compromise of any such claim effected by Seller with any such claimant
(including Purchaser) then and in such event Guarantor agrees that any such
judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise will be binding upon
Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or other instrument evidencing
any liability of Purchaser, and Guarantor will be and remain liable to Seller
hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such
amount had never originally been received by Seller.  This Guaranty
will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their
respective heirs, administrators, executors, successors and
assigns.

     

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Guaranty is
executed this ____ day of December, 2007.

Summary of the Kaiser Aluminum Fabricated Products

2008 Short-Term Incentive Plan For Key Managers

This is a summary of the Kaiser Aluminum Fabricated Products short-term incentive program (STIP)
effective January 1, 2008. The STIP performance period is annual. The 2008 program rewards
participants for economic value added (“EVA”) versus our cost of capital with modifiers for safety,
business unit, plan and individual performance objectives.

Purpose of the 2008 Kaiser Aluminum STIP

	1.	 	Focus attention on value creation within Fabricated Products, our core business segment, and
Corporate.
	 
	2.	 	Reward the achievement of aggressive performance goals.
	 
	3.	 	Provide incentive opportunities that are consistent with competitive market.
	 
	4.	 	Link incentive pay to individual performance as well as our success and ability to pay.

STIP Philosophy 

Compensation should (i) reward management for value creation and the safe operation of our
business, (ii) stand the test of time to provide continuity in compensation philosophy, (iii)
recognize the cyclical nature of our business, and (iv) provide a retention incentive. In order to
achieve success, participants must continue to seek out and find ways to create value and operate
safely.

Primary Performance Measures

	•	 	EVA will equal our pre-tax operating income (“PTOI”) less a capital charge calculated as a
percentage of our net assets (“Net Assets”). Both PTOI and Net Assets will be based on our
financial statements and certain adjustments described in more detail below.

	 	o	 	Net Assets will equal our Total Assets less Total Liabilities reflected
in the financial statements for our prior fiscal year subject to adjustments to:

	 	§	 	Remove Primary Products
	 
	 	§	 	Remove Discontinued Operations
	 
	 	§	 	Eliminate fresh start adjustments
	 
	 	§	 	Eliminate VEBA assets and liabilities
	 
	 	§	 	Exclude financing items
	 
	 	§	 	Exclude capex in progress
	 
	 	§	 	Add capitalized value of long-term leases
	 
	 	§	 	Add prorated value of capital projects and acquisitions larger than 1%
of prior year Net Assets
	 
	 	§	 	Others as recommended by the CEO and approved our Compensation Committee
of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”)

	 	o	 	PTOI will be adjusted to:

	 	§	 	Exclude LIFO adjustments
	 
	 	§	 	Add back depreciation associated with step-down in property, plant and
equipment resulting from the implementation of fresh start accounting
	 
	 	§	 	Amortize the following non-recurring activities over 36 months if the
value exceeds one percent of Net Assets:

	 	•	 	Restructuring charges

 

 

	 	•	 	Gains or losses resulting from asset dispositions
	 
	 	•	 	Labor stoppage costs
	 
	 	•	 	Asset impairment charges
	 
	 	•	 	Others as recommended by the CEO and approved our Compensation
Committee

	•	 	Safety performance will be measured by Total Case Incident Rate (TCIR).

Individual Performance Criteria — Kaiser Aluminum STIP 

	•	 	Individual payouts from the 2008 STIP may be adjusted based upon performance against
individual objectives and/or business unit performance.
	 
	•	 	The business unit modifier allows for a plus or minus 50% of target or award based on the
performance of the specific business unit that applies to the individual.
	 
	•	 	There are up to four categories based on individual objectives or targets set in the first
quarter of each year. Each category allows for an individual modifier of plus or minus 25% of
target or award.

Target Incentive 

	•	 	A monetary target incentive amount for each participant is established for the STIP based
on competitive market, internal compensation balance and position responsibilities.
	 
	•	 	Participants’ monetary incentive targets are set at the beginning of each annual STIP
performance period.
	 
	•	 	The participant’s monetary incentive target amount represents the incentive opportunity
when certain financial, safety, operational and individual performance goals are met.

How Incentive Awards Are Determined 

	•	 	At the end of the year EVA will be determined and used to calculate the Award Multiple.
	 
	•	 	Award Multiples calculations are audited by Grant Thornton or other auditor determined by
the Compensation Committee.
	 
	•	 	The Award Multiple is adjusted within a range of plus or minus 10% based upon TCIR.
	 
	•	 	The maximum Award Multiple is 3.0 times target.
	 
	•	 	A pool is established based upon the Award Multiple multiplied by the sum of individual
monetary incentive targets for the STIP participants.
	 
	•	 	Payouts are in cash.
	 
	•	 	The entire pool is paid to participants.

STIP Award

	•	 	Each participant’s base award is determined as the vested monetary incentive target times
Award Multiple.
	 
	•	 	Based on EVA and TCIR performance as well as business unit and individual performance, the
monetary award can be modified in aggregate up to plus or minus 100% of incentive target or
base award.

	 	o	 	If the award multiple is 1.0 or greater, then the earnings and
individual / safety performance modifier will be a percentage of the calculated
award.
	 
	 	o	 	If the award multiple is less than 1.0, then the earnings and
individual / safety performance modifier will be a percentage of incentive target.

Form and Timing of Payment

	•	 	Annual monetary incentive awards from the STIP are paid in cash no later than March 15
following the end of the year.

2

 

	•	 	Award is conditioned on employment on date of payment unless employment is terminated:

	 	o	 	As a result of death, disability, normal retirement or full early
retirement (position elimination);
	 
	 	o	 	Involuntarily by the company without cause; or
	 
	 	o	 	Voluntarily by the employee with good reason

Other Administrative Provisions

	•	 	The STIP will be reviewed annually.
	 
	•	 	Annual monetary incentive awards paid from the STIP count as additional compensation for
purposes of the Company’s Defined Contribution and Restoration Plans but not for other Company
benefits.
	 
	•	 	All applicable federal, state, local and FICA taxes will be withheld from all incentive
award payments.
	 
	•	 	Retirement or termination: If participant dies or retires under “normal” (age 62), full
early retirement (position elimination), or is involuntarily terminated due to position
elimination, or becomes disabled, on a date other than December 31 of any year, a pro-rata
incentive award is earned based on actual eligibility during the performance period.
	 
	•	 	Leave of absence participants earn a prorated award based on the number of months of active
employment.
	 
	•	 	Incentive awards are forfeited for all voluntary terminations by the employee without good
reason prior to the end of the performance period (December 31).
	 
	•	 	Beneficiary designation: In the event of death the deceased participant’s designated
beneficiary will receive any payments due under the STIP. If there is no designated
beneficiary on file with Human Resources, any amounts due will be paid to the surviving spouse
or, if no surviving spouse, to the participant’s estate.
	 
	•	 	Non transferability: No amounts earned under the STIP may be sold, transferred, pledged or
assigned, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution until the termination of
the applicable performance period. All rights to benefits under the STIP are exercisable only
by the participant or, in the case of death, by the participant’s beneficiary.
	 
	•	 	The STIP may be modified, amended or terminated by the Compensation Committee at any time.
If the plan is terminated, modified or amended, then future payments from the STIP are
governed by such modifications or amendments. If terminated, then a prorated award will be
determined based on number of months up to termination, and paid before March 15 following the
end of the year.
	 
	•	 	The STIP constitutes no right to continued employment.
	 
	•	 	The Chairman and CEO, with oversight from the Compensation Committee, has the discretionary
authority to interpret the terms of the plan and his decisions shall be final, binding and
conclusive on all persons affected.
