     THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT, effective as of the Date of Grant set forth above (this “Agreement”), represents the grant of Restricted Stock by the Company, to the Director named above, pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.

     The Plan provides a complete description of the terms and conditions governing the Restricted Stock granted hereunder. If there is any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the Plan’s terms shall completely supersede and replace the conflicting terms of this Agreement. All capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan unless specifically set forth otherwise herein.

     1. Service as a Director of the Company. Except as may otherwise be provided in Sections 5 or 6 of this Agreement, the shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder are granted on the condition that the Director remains a Director of the Company from the Date of Grant set forth above through (and including) the “Date on Which Restrictions Lapse” set forth in the table above opposite such number of shares of Restricted Stock (such applicable periods each being referred to herein as a “Period of Restriction”).

     This grant of Restricted Stock shall not confer any right to the Director (or any other Director) to be granted Restricted Stock or other Awards in the future under the Plan.

     2. Certificate Legend. Each certificate representing, or book-entry account credited with, shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall bear the following legend:

“The sale or other transfer of the shares of common stock represented hereby, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, is subject to certain restrictions on transfer as set forth in the Kaiser Aluminum Corporation Amended and Restated 2006 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), and in the associated Restricted Stock Award Agreement. A copy of the Plan and such Restricted Stock Award Agreement may be obtained from Kaiser Aluminum Corporation.”

     3. Receipt and Delivery of Stock; Removal of Restrictions.

	(a)		The Director waives receipt from the Company of a certificate or certificates representing the shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder, registered in the Director’s name and bearing a legend evidencing the restrictions imposed on such shares of Restricted Stock by this Agreement. The Director acknowledges that the Company shall retain custody of such certificate or certificates until the restrictions imposed by this Agreement on the shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder lapse. The Director acknowledges that, alternatively, the shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may be credited to a book-entry account in the Director’s name, with instructions from the Company to the Company’s transfer agent that such shares shall remain restricted until the restrictions imposed by this Agreement on such shares lapse. The Participant will provide the Company a duly signed stock power in such form as may be requested by the Company.
	(b)		Except as may otherwise be provided herein and in the Plan, the shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall become freely transferable by the Director on the dates and in the numbers set forth under “Lapse of Restrictions” above, subject to all restrictions on transfers imposed by the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or insider trading policies as in effect from time to time or by applicable federal or state securities laws. Once shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder are no longer subject to any restrictions on transfer under this Agreement or the Plan, the Director shall be entitled to have the legend required by Section 2 of this Agreement removed from the applicable certificates or book-entry account.

     4. Voting Rights and Dividends. During a Period of Restriction, the Director may exercise full voting rights and shall receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder and held by the Director at the relevant time; provided, however, that if any such dividends or distributions are paid in shares of the Company’s capital stock, such shares shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability as are the shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid.

     5. Termination as a Director.

	(a)		By Death. In the event the service of the Director to the Company is terminated by reason of death during a Period of Restriction, all shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder and held by the Director at the time of death shall no longer be subject to the Period of Restriction and shall become freely transferable (subject, however, to all restrictions on transfer imposed by the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or by applicable federal or state securities laws) by such Person or Persons that have been named as the Director’s beneficiary as contemplated by Section 8 of this Agreement or by such Person or Persons that have acquired the Director’s rights to such shares of Restricted Stock by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Once the shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder are no longer subject to any restrictions on transfer under this Agreement or the Plan, the Person or Persons holding such shares shall be entitled to have the legend required by Section 2 of this Agreement removed from the applicable stock certificates or book-entry account.
	(b)		By Disability. In the event the service of the Director to the Company is terminated by reason of Disability (as defined in this Section 5(b)) during a Period of Restriction, all shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder and held by the Director at the time of employment termination shall no longer be subject to the Period of Restriction and shall become freely transferable (subject, however, to all restrictions on transfer imposed by the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or by applicable federal or state securities laws) by the Director. Once shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder are no longer subject to any restrictions on transfer under this Agreement or the Plan, the Person holding such shares shall be entitled to have the legend required by Section 2 of this Agreement removed from the applicable stock certificates or book-entry account.
			“Disability” shall be defined as a disability as a result of bodily injury, disease or mental disorder which results in the inability of the Director to continue to serve as a director of the Company.
	(c)		For Other Reasons. In the event the service of the Director to the Company is terminated for any reason other than the reasons set forth in Section 5(a) or 5(b) of this Agreement during a Period of Restriction, all shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder and held by the Director at such time and still subject to the restrictions on transfer pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement shall be forfeited by the Director to the Company. The Company shall have the right, at the sole discretion of the Board, to vest all or any portion of the Restricted Stock grant held by the Director that would otherwise be forfeited.

     6. Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control of the Company during a Period of Restriction and prior to the Director’s termination of service as a Director, the Period of Restriction shall immediately lapse, with all shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder and held by the Director at the time of such Change in Control of the Company vesting and becoming freely transferable (subject to restrictions on transfers imposed by the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or insider trading policies as in effect from time to time or by applicable federal or state securities laws) by the Director.

     7. Restrictions on Transfer. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in accordance with the Plan, during the applicable Period of Restriction, shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated (a “Transfer”), other than as contemplated by Section 8 of this Agreement, by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order. If, during a Period of Restriction, any Transfer, whether voluntary or involuntary, of shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder is made other than in accordance with this Agreement or the Plan, or if any attachment, execution, garnishment or lien shall be issued against or placed upon shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder, all shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder then held by the Director shall be immediately forfeited to the Company, and all obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall terminate.

     8. Beneficiary Designation. The Director may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under this Agreement is to be paid in case of the Director’s death before the Director receives all of such benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Director, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company, and shall be effective only when filed by the Director in writing with the Vice President Human Resources of the Company during the Director’s lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Director’s death shall be paid in accordance with the Director’s will or the laws of descent and distribution.

     9. Miscellaneous.
