BETWEEN FOSTER WHEELER INC.
AND
MICHAEL LIEBELSON
     This FIRST AMENDMENT (this “Amendment”) to the Employment Agreement between
FOSTER WHEELER INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and MICHAEL
LIEBELSON (the “Executive”), dated as of May 28, 2010, is made and entered into
as of December 1, 2010 (the “Amendment Date”).
     WHEREAS, Foster Wheeler Inc. entered into an Employment Agreement with the
Executive, dated as of May 28, 2010 (the “Agreement”),
     WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive have agreed to amend the Agreement
as set forth herein.
     NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in further consideration of
the following mutual promises, covenants and undertakings, the parties agree
that the Agreement is amended effective as of the Amendment Date, as follows:

1.   A new Agreement Section 3.12 is added as follows:

    Certain Reimbursements.

(a) Beginning after June 1, 2011, if either (i) the Company relocates the
Executive’s principal business location so that commute from the Executive’s
residence in the Geneva area is increased by more than 50 miles, or (ii) the
Executive’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason other than
Cause, and, if as a result of any of the foregoing the Executive vacates the
Executive’s Geneva residence and incurs lease termination expenses, continuing
lease expenses or similar expenses in connection with the Geneva residence
despite the Executive’s reasonable efforts to avoid and/or limit such expenses,
which reasonable efforts shall include, without limit, cooperating with the
Company to effect the transfer to the Company of the remainder of the lease on
the residence, then the Company shall pay, or reimburse the Executive for, such
expenses as soon as administratively possible after they are incurred by the
Executive.
(b) Beginning after June 1, 2011, if either (i) the Company relocates the
Executive’s principal business location so that commute from the Executive’s
residence in the Geneva area is increased by more than 50 miles, or (ii) the
Executive’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason other than
Cause, and, if as a result of any of the foregoing the Executive vacates the
Executive’s Geneva residence, then the Company shall pay, or reimburse the
Executive for, the expense of moving his personal belongings and furnishings to

his new residence as soon as administratively possible after such expenses are
incurred by the Executive.
(c) To the extent that the provision of payments or reimbursements described in
this Section 3.12 results in taxable income to the Executive, the Company shall
pay the Executive an amount to satisfy the Executive’s Swiss and U.S. income tax
obligation. Such payment shall be grossed-up for taxes, and made as soon as
practicable after the tax liability arises but in no event later than the end of
the year following the year in which the tax is due. Further, all payments or
reimbursements described in this Section 3.12 shall be made in accordance with
the 409A rules set forth in Section 3.10 of this Agreement.

2.   For the avoidance of doubt, the Side Agreement regarding Geneva Lease,
effective as of May 28, 2010, remains unchanged and in full force and effect.

3.   Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will
constitute one and the same instrument.
