purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Cowen and Cowen Inc.
(the "Acquisition"). Under the terms of the Acquisition, the business of Cowen
and Cowen Inc. was transferred to Societe Generale Securities Corporation
("SGSC"), a subsidiary of SG, and SGSC was renamed SG Cowen Securities
Corporation ("SG Cowen").

         In connection with the Acquisition, SG Cowen acquired the Shares from

affecting the Company, the Company's business and prospects, other investment
and business opportunities available to SG Cowen and its clients, general stock
market and economic conditions, tax considerations and other factors considered
relevant, may decide at any time to increase, or to decrease, the size of its
investment in the Company.

         On March 13, 1998, Cowen, Cowen Inc., Mr. Joseph M. Cohen and Jarrod M.

of the Company, (iii) join a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or
other group, or otherwise act in concert with any other person, for the purpose

become, alone or in conjunction with others, an "Acquiring Person", as defined
in the Company's Shareholder Rights Plan as adopted on January 13, 1992, or (v)

knowledge of the Cohen Parties, as a result of acquiring such voting securities
would become an "Acquiring Person". Each of the Cohen Parties also agreed to be
present, in person or by proxy, at all meetings of the shareholders of the
Company with respect to which the Cohen Parties receive notice so that all
voting securities owned by any of them may be counted for the purpose of
determining the presence of a quorum at such meetings.

create, and elect you to fill, a vacancy in the class of 2000 on the Board of
Directors of the Company. As you know, the Board has been on record since early

Board of Directors prior to December 31, 1998, the date you or any other
designee of the Cohen Parties ceases to be a member

<PAGE>


of the Board of Directors, the Cohen Parties shall not, without the express
written consent of a majority of the directors of the Company other than the

              (i) subject any of the Company's voting securities to a voting
trust or voting agreement;

              (ii) solicit proxies or become a "Participant" in a "solicitation"

of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), in opposition to any recommendation
of the Board of Directors of the Company;

              (iii) join a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or other
group, or otherwise act in concert with any other person, for the purpose of

who, to the knowledge of the Cohen Parties, as a result of acquiring such voting
securities would become an "Acquiring Person" as defined in the Company's
Shareholder Rights Plan as adopted January 13, 1992.

         (d) Each of the Cohen Parties shall be present, in person or by proxy,
and without further action hereby agree that they shall be deemed (to the extent
permitted by law) to be present, at all meetings of the stockholders of the

Mr. Michael E. Tennenbaum
Tennenbaum & Co., L.L.C.
1999 Avenue of the Stars, Suite 1010

Dear Michael:

         The purpose of this letter is to set forth the agreements we have
reached as a result of discussions over the past several days. It will become
effective on the date of your execution of this letter (the "Effective Date").

         The Board of Directors of ICF Kaiser International, Inc. (the
"Company") will nominate, recommend and solicit proxies for your election as a
director, for a three-year term, at the 1998 annual meeting of shareholders.

         Also, the Board of Directors has acted to unconditionally and
irrevocably offer Jarrod Cohen the opportunity to join the Board at his written
request at any time between July 1, 1998 and December 31, 1998 for a term
extending to the annual meeting of shareholders in 2000, and until his successor
is elected.

         For your part, you and Tennenbaum & Co., L.L.C. (the "Tennenbaum
Parties") agree as follows:

         (a) During the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on
the earlier of (i) five years after the Effective Date and (ii) the day after
the date the Tennenbaum Parties and all of their Affiliates cease to be the
Beneficial Owners of any of the Company's voting securities ("Restricted
Securities"), the Tennenbaum Parties shall not, without the express written
consent of a majority of the directors of the Company not designated by the
Tennenbaum Parties pursuant to this Agreement, acquire, directly or indirectly,
any voting securities of the Company if, following such acquisition, such
Tennenbaum Parties, together with their Affiliates, would directly or indirectly
be the Beneficial Owners of voting securities of the Company representing in the
aggregate more than 19.5% of the total combined voting power of all issued and
outstanding securities of the Company (it being understood that this provision
shall not be violated if such Tennenbaum Parties and their Affiliates become
entitled to exercise voting power in excess of such percentage as a result of
any event or circumstance other than the


<PAGE>

acquisition by such Tennenbaum Parties or their Affiliates of Beneficial
Ownership of additional voting securities of the Company). The Company hereby
agrees that it shall not take any action, including without limitation, any
amendment to its Shareholders Rights plan, that would prevent the Tennenbaum
Parties from acquiring additional securities within the limitations set forth
herein.

         (b) During the period (i) between the date hereof and May 1, 1998 and
(ii) that you or another person who is an Affiliate of the Tennenbaum Parties is
a member of the Board of Directors, and for a period of 90 days thereafter, the
Tennenbaum Parties shall not, without the express written consent of a majority
of the directors of the Company not designated by the Tennenbaum Parties
pursuant to this Agreement:

         (x) subject any Restricted Securities to any voting trust or voting
agreement;

              (y-1) recruit, or engage in organizing persons not nominated by
the Board of Directors to oppose the Board of Directors nominated candidates in
an election; or

              (y-2) financially support (including contributing money, lending
money, furnishing credit or entering into any other arrangements or contracts
regarding financing) a proxy contest for Board of Directors candidates to oppose
the candidates nominated by the Board of Directors; or

              (y-3) provide any material, non-public information gained in your
position as Director to opposing Board candidates, except as required by law,
and then only after notice to the Company.

              (z) join a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or other
group, or otherwise act in concert with any other person, for the purpose of
acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of voting securities of the Company, or
otherwise become a "person" within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the
Exchange Act (in each case other than solely with another Tennenbaum Party).

         (c) Each of the Tennenbaum Parties shall be present, in person or by
proxy, and without further action hereby agree that they shall be deemed (to the
extent permitted by law) to be present, at all meetings of the stockholders of
the Company with respect to which the Tennenbaum Parties receive notice so that
all voting securities of the Company owned by any of them may be counted for the
purpose of determining the presence of a quorum at such meetings.


<PAGE>

         (d) For purposes of this letter (i) "Affiliate" shall have the same
meaning as Affiliate under Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, and (ii)
"Beneficial Owner" shall have the same meaning as "Beneficial Owner" under Rule
13d-3 under the Exchange Act, and "Beneficial Ownership" shall have a
correlative meaning.

         The agreements set forth in paragraphs (a)-(d) above shall terminate
and be of no further effect in the event (i) you are not elected as a director
of ICF Kaiser, as contemplated herein, on or before May 30, 1998; or (ii) Jarrod
Cohen does not become a director upon his acceptance of the offer referred to
above.

         The Company hereby agrees to promptly reimburse the Tennenbaum Parties
for all reasonable and necessary documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
them (including but not limited to fees and disbursements of counsel) in
connection with their proposals to the Board of Directors of the Company and the
potential solicitation of proxies for the election of directors to the Company,
up to a maximum of $25,000.

         If the foregoing accurately summarizes our agreement, please sign where

                              Very truly yours,
