AGREEMENT:

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of such employment and the mutual covenants and promises herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:

1. Employment and Position. Subject to Section 2, the Company hereby employs the Executive as its President-Chief Administrative Officer, and the Executive hereby accepts such employment under and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

2. Term. The term of employment under this Agreement shall begin on the date hereof and, unless sooner terminated as provided in Section 6, shall conclude on

the 3rd anniversary of the date hereof (the “Employment Term”); provided, however, that the parties, by mutual agreement, may extend the Employment Term, in which event they will endeavor to complete the negotiations of any such extension at least one year prior to the end of the Employment Term.

3. Duties. The Executive shall perform services in a managerial capacity in a manner consistent with the Executive’s position as President and Chief Administrative Officer of the Company, subject to the general supervision of the President and Chief Executive Officer and Board of Managers (the “Board”) of the Company. The Executive hereby agrees to devote his full business time and diligent efforts to the faithful performance of such duties and to the promotion and forwarding of the business and affairs of the Company for the Employment Term. The Executive shall have the right, at his sole expense (other than business telephone charges), to use an office located in Moraga, California, as his principal office (the “Moraga Office”) in the performance of his duties hereunder, provided, however, that the Company shall provide an office for Executive at its headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah. Any requirement by the Company that the Executive change his primary office, without the Executive’s consent, to a location more than 40 miles from the Moraga Office, shall, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, be deemed a termination without Cause entitling the Executive to the termination benefits described in Section 7(a), below.

4. Compensation.

(a) Salary. In consideration of the services rendered by the Executive under this Agreement, the Company shall pay the Executive a base salary (the “Base Salary”) at the rate of $450,000 per calendar year. The Base Salary shall be paid in such installments and at such times as the Company pays its regularly salaried executives and shall be subject to all necessary withholding taxes, FICA contributions and similar deductions, as well as set-off against any amounts Executive owes the Company.

(b) Target Bonus. During the Employment Term, the Company from time to time, but in any event no later than one hundred and twenty (120) days following the end of each fiscal year, shall pay the Executive an annual bonus (the “Target Bonus”) of up to 100% of the Base Salary (for purposes of clarity, the Target Bonus for the 2006 fiscal year shall be on a pro-rata basis for the portion of the year in which the Executive is employed, which amounts to 23% of a full year bonus). The Target Bonus shall be calculated and payable in accordance with and based on the Actual EBITDA of the Company by reference to the Budgeted EBITDA. The Target Bonus shall be calculated and payable as described in Schedule 1 hereto.

For purposes of this Agreement, “EBITDA” shall mean the earnings of the Company before interest, taxes, depreciation, accretion and amortization,

2

calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For purposes of this Agreement, “Actual EBITDA” shall mean, for any fiscal year of the Company, the EBITDA of the Company for such fiscal year as reflected on the Company’s financial statements for such fiscal year; provided, however, that (i) all amounts paid to Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. LLC (“Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx”), Xxxxxxxx Capital Inc. (“Xxxxxxxx Capital”) and Xxxxxxx Investments, Inc. (“Xxxxxxx Investments”) pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Services Agreements by and between each of Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Capital, and Xxxxxxx Investments and the Company, (ii) all amounts contributed to the “EnergySolutions, LLC Charitable Trust,” or such similar entity, if such an entity is created, and (iii) all amounts paid to any employee of the Company as an “Excess Performance Bonus” under the terms of his or her employment agreement with the Company shall be excluded from Actual EBITDA. For purposes of this Agreement, “Budgeted EBITDA” shall mean, for any fiscal year of the Company, the EBITDA for the Company for such fiscal year set forth in the budget for such fiscal year adopted by the Board.

(c) Membership Units. In consideration of the services rendered by the Executive to the Company under this Agreement, ENV Holdings has granted to the Executive, effective as of the date hereof, Membership Units that initially represent 0.75% (subject to dilution for further issuance of additional equity in ENV Holdings) of the aggregate equity value in excess of $550,000,000, which represents the equity valuation of ENV Holdings determined as of June 7, 2006, on the terms set forth in the Amended Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Agreement, thirty-three and one-third percent (331/3%) of said Membership Units will vest on each of the first three anniversaries of the Effective Date. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Executive will execute a counterpart signature page to the Amended Agreement.

(d) Individual Business Objectives. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, 25% of the payment of the Target Bonus to the Executive shall be contingent on successful completion of the Executive’s Individual Business Objectives (“IBOs”). The IBOs for the Executive shall be discussed and agreed to by the Executive and the President and CEO of the Company during the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year. 25% of the payment of the Target Bonus to the Executive may be forfeited or reduced, at the discretion of the President and CEO of the Company, if the Executive’s safety, compliance or core competencies (as outlined in the Executive’s IBOs) are deemed to be unsatisfactory.

(e) Compensation Review. The Executive’s compensation hereunder shall be reviewed and renegotiated by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Board no less frequently than each anniversary date of the Effective Date; provided, however, that the Chief Executive Officer and Board shall review and renegotiate the Executive’s compensation hereunder prior to the Company filing a registration statement in connection with an initial public offering of shares of the Company’s capital stock.

The Executive and Company further agree that (i) reasonable limits may be placed on his ability to compete against the Company as provided herein to the extent that they protect and preserve the legitimate business interests and goodwill of the Company and (ii) such limits are (A) in consideration for and as an inducement for, among other things, the ability of the Executive to purchase equity in ENV Holdings in connection with the Equity Sale and to receive the grant of the Membership Units and the continued employment of the Executive by the Company, (B) the result of arms-

10

length negotiations between the parties, (C) reasonable in scope and duration, and (D) necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company and its Affiliates. The Executive acknowledges that he has carefully read this Agreement and given careful consideration to the restraints imposed upon the Executive by this Agreement, and is in full accord as to their necessity for the reasonable and proper protection of the Confidential Information, whether now existing or to be developed in the future.

(b) Non-Competition. During the Employment Term and for the Non-Competition Period (as defined below), the Executive will not, individually or jointly, and he will cause his Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, for himself or themselves, or for the benefit of any other Person, without the prior written consent of the Company, its successor or assigns, which consent may or may not be given in the Company’s (or such successor’s or assign’s) sole discretion, own, manage, engage in, operate, control, develop, or participate in the ownership, management, operation, control or development of, consult with or perform services for, or be connected in any manner with, any Person (other than the Company, at the Company’s sole discretion) that engages in any aspect of the Business or processes low-level radioactive waste or low-level mixed waste anywhere in the United States of America or that otherwise competes with the Company (a “Competitive Business”); provided, however, the acquisition, directly or indirectly, of less than 5% of the publicly traded stock of any Person engaged in a Competitive Business shall not constitute a violation of this Section 9(b).

(c) Non-Solicitation. During the Employment Term and the Non-Solicitation Period (as defined below), the Executive will not (A) solicit or hire, or attempt to solicit or hire, any person who (i) at the time of the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company hereunder or (ii) at any time during the six (6) month period prior to such termination, was an officer, director, consultant or executive of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates or (B) call upon, solicit, divert or attempt to solicit or divert from the Company or any of its Affiliates or subsidiaries any of their customers or suppliers, or potential customers or suppliers, of whose names he was aware during the term of his employment with the Company; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9(c) shall be deemed to prohibit the Executive from calling upon or soliciting a customer or supplier during the Non-Solicitation Period if such action relates solely to a business which is not a Competitive Business.

For purposes of this Agreement, the “Non-Solicitation Period” shall mean a period of one (1) year after the Executive’s employment terminates.

11

(d) Related Businesses. During the Employment Term, the Executive agrees that, to the extent he has been notified of an opportunity to acquire or make an investment in any business (including, without limitation, a Competitive Business) related or complementary to the Business of the Company (a “Potential Investment”), he shall inform the Board of such Potential Investment promptly upon receiving notice thereof and provide the Company with the first opportunity to participate in such Potential Investment.

(e) Non-disparagement.

10. Remedies. It is specifically understood and agreed that any breach of the provisions of Section 8 or Section 9 of this Agreement is likely to result in irreparable injury to the Company and that the remedy at law alone will be an inadequate remedy for such breach, and that in addition to any other remedy it may have, the Company shall be entitled to enforce the specific performance of this Agreement by the Executive and to obtain both temporary and permanent injunctive relief without bond and without liability should such relief be denied, modified or violated. Neither the right to obtain such relief nor the obtaining of such relief shall be exclusive or preclude the Company from any other remedy.

11. Severability. The parties hereto agree that, if any court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable judgment determines that a specified time period, a specified geographical area, a specified business limitation or any other relevant feature of Section 8 or Section 9 is unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, then a lesser time period, geographical area, business limitation or other relevant feature which is determined to be reasonable, not arbitrary and not against public policy may be enforced against the applicable party. Any other

12

provision of this Agreement that is deemed invalid or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability, without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

13. Arbitration of Disputes. (a) Any dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, any “Dispute”) arising between the Company and the Executive relating to or arising from this Agreement other than the Company’s right to seek injunctive relief for breach of Section 8 or Section 9 of this Agreement, shall be submitted to and settled by binding arbitration in the Las Vegas, Nevada office of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) conducted pursuant to the rules then in effect of the AAA governing employment disputes, before three (3) neutral arbitrators licensed to practice law for at least ten years and familiar with employment law disputes (or at any other place or under any other form of arbitration mutually acceptable to the parties so involved).

The administration fees and expenses of the arbitration shall be borne equally by the parties to the arbitration, provided that each party shall pay for and bear the cost of its/his/her own experts, evidence and attorney’s fees. In the discretion of the arbitrators, any

13

award may include the cost of a party’s counsel and/or its share of the expense of arbitration, if the arbitrators expressly determine that an award of such costs is appropriate to the party whose position prevails in such arbitration. To submit a matter to arbitration, the party seeking redress (“Claimant”) shall notify in writing the party against whom such redress is sought (“Respondent”), describe the nature of such claim, the provision of this Agreement that has been violated by the Respondent and the material facts surrounding such claim. At any arbitration hearing, each of the parties shall have the right to make both written and oral presentations to the arbitrators. Within thirty (30) days of the conclusion of such arbitration hearing, the arbitrators shall render a single written decision. The decision of the arbitrators shall be binding upon the Claimant and Respondent, and after the completion of such arbitration, the Claimant and Respondent may only institute litigation regarding the Dispute for the sole purpose of enforcing the determination of the arbitration hearing. By agreeing to arbitration under this Section 13, the Company and the Executive understand that they are each waiving any right to a trial by jury and each party makes that waiver knowingly and voluntarily with full consideration of the ramifications of such waiver.

14. Miscellaneous.

Schedule 1

Target Bonus

		Percentage that Actual EBITDA for a fiscal year represents of Budgeted EBITDA for such fiscal year
		80%			100%			110%
Percentage of Base Salary payable as Target Bonus		0	%		60	%		100	%

The Target Bonus payable to the Executive hereunder for each fiscal year is to be interpolated for Actual EBITDA between 80% and 100% or between 100% and 110% of Budgeted EBITDA.

For example, if Actual EBITDA represents 85% of Budgeted EBITDA, a Target Bonus of 15% of the Executive’s Base Salary would be payable, calculated as follows:

(1) The increase of Actual EBITDA over the 80% of Budgeted EBITDA benchmark, which in this case equals 5%, is divided by the difference between (a) 100% and (b) 80% (the two applicable Budgeted EBITDA benchmarks), yielding 25%;

(2) This amount (25%) is then multiplied by the difference between (x) 60% (the Target Bonus at 100% of Budgeted EBITDA) and (y) 0% (the Target Bonus at 80% of Budgeted EBITDA), which equals 15% of the Executive’s Base Salary as the Target Bonus.

On the other hand, if Actual EBITDA represents 105% of Budgeted EBITDA, then a Target Bonus of 80% of the Executive’s Base Salary would be payable, calculated as follows:

(1) The increase of Actual EBITDA over the 100% of Budgeted EBITDA benchmark, which in this case equals 5%, is divided by the difference between (a) 110% and (b) 100% (the two applicable Budgeted EBITDA benchmarks), yielding 50%;

(2) This amount (50%) is then multiplied by the difference between (x) 100% (the Target Bonus at 110% of Budgeted EBITDA) and (y) 60% (the Target Bonus at 100% of Budgeted EBITDA), which equals 20% of the Executive’s Base Salary as the Target Bonus payable for the increase of 5% over the 100% Budgeted EBITDA Benchmark;

(3) This amount (20% of Base Salary) is then added to the 60% of Base Salary that was earned when Actual EBITDA met the 100% of Budgeted EBITDA Benchmark, which equals an aggregate total of 80% of the Executive’s Base Salary as the Target Bonus.
