Dear Dave:

 

This will confirm the Agreement between you (the “Consultant”) and Fluor
Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”), effective June 2, 2015.

 

Scope of Services:  The Consultant agrees to consider rendering advisory and
consultation services to the Company as and when the Company may from time to
time request.  Each assignment will be made in writing with a description of the
assignment and schedule for completion.  The Consultant will promptly advise the
Company of its decision to accept or decline an assignment.  The Company
authorizes David T. Seaton or his designee to approve these written assignments
to the Consultant hereunder.

 

In performing services under this Agreement, the Consultant shall operate as and
have the status of an independent contractor and shall not act as or be an agent
or employee of the Company.  For this reason, all of the Consultant’s activities
will be at his own risk, and the Consultant shall not be entitled to Workers’
Compensation or similar benefits or other insurance protection provided by the
Company. The Consultant will make his own arrangements for medical insurance and
insurance coverage for the activities to be performed hereunder.

 

As an independent contractor, the Consultant will be solely responsible for
determining the means, methods, time and place of performing the services
subject to the Company’s overall schedule requirements and maintaining
interfaces necessary for the services, and the Company will receive only the
results of the Consultant’s performance of the foregoing services.  The
Consultant acknowledges that he is not entitled, shall not receive, and hereby
waives any claim to benefits which the Company may provide to any employee of
the Company, including but not limited to a waiver of participation in the
Company’s employee retirement program, and that his sole compensation shall be
as provided below.

 

The Company will furnish office space, equipment, administrative support and
other office services as may be required to carry out any assignments made under
this agreement.

 

Compensation:  The Company shall compensate the Consultant for the actual hours
worked by the Consultant for services specifically approved by the Company as
follows:

 

(i)                 $570.00 per hour;

 

(ii)              The Company will reimburse Consultant’s actual, reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses in accordance with the Company’s reimbursement policies;

(iii)           In order to comply with IRS Regulation 409A, the Consultant
agrees services will not be provided in excess of 1,000 hours for the term of
this agreement;

 

(iv)          In order to comply with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act, the Consultant agrees services will not be provided in excess of 125 hours
per month for the term of this agreement;

 

(v)             The Consultant agrees to provide original or copies of receipts
for any business related expense item over Twenty-Five Dollars ($25) incurred
while providing services to the Company during the term of this agreement;

 

(vi)          The Consultant agrees to fully comply with Fluor’s Human Resources
Policy HR-125 as it relates to business expenses incurred while providing
services to the Company during the term of this agreement; and

 

(vii)       Applicable taxes including FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes
will be withheld on all compensation invoiced.  A Form W-2 for the Consultant’s
2015 and any subsequent year’s consulting compensation will be provided.

 

Invoicing:  Following the end of each month, the Consultant will furnish the
Company with an invoice covering the time devoted to the Company’s service
during such month.  All invoices must present a company code, general ledger
account number and a cost object.  The invoice must first be approved by the
individual responsible for approving the Consultant’s assignments before
forwarding for payment.  The Company shall pay such invoice within thirty (30)
days of receipt.

 

Non-Competition/Outside Work:  During the term of this Agreement, the Consultant
agrees that he will not in any manner directly or indirectly provide services,
advice or other assistance to any firm or business which is similar to or
competitive with the business of the Company or any of its affiliates without
prior written approval; and additionally, Consultant agrees not to initiate
contact with client representatives unless directed to do so under this
Agreement or if Consultant has received prior approval from the Company.

 

Inventions, Patents and Confidential Information:  Consultant shall promptly
disclose to the Company all discoveries, developments, improvements, inventions
and other intangible rights (“Inventions”) arising from performance of
Consultant’s services hereunder and hereby assigns said Inventions to the
Company and shall execute all documents required to complete exclusive ownership
by the Company or to secure patents, if deemed appropriate in the sole
discretion of the Company.

 

The Consultant agrees that any information which he obtains while performing
services in his consulting capacity concerning the business or operations of the
Company, its affiliates or third parties with whom it conducts business
(including, but not as a limitation, technical information) shall be used only
to perform such services and shall not be disclosed to anyone outside the
Company, except with the prior written authorization of the Company.  Further,
to the extent any such information is in written form, all such documents are
considered company property and must be returned to the Company upon termination
of this Agreement.

 

The obligations of this paragraph shall survive any termination of this
Agreement and do not apply to any information which has been publicly released
or is in the public knowledge or literature.

 

Term:  The term of this Agreement shall begin June 2, 2015, and end June 2,
2016, unless otherwise modified by subsequent written agreement or terminated
earlier by either party with or without cause upon 30-day written notice to the
other party.

Consultant shall promptly notify the Company if in the course of any business
for which he provides or may have provided consulting services to the Company,
he is approached, asked or requested or offers to make any payments or giving
anything of value to any third party.

 

Corporate Assets:  Consultants are expected to respect the Company’s assets as
they would their own.  Corporate assets take many forms (land, building,
equipment, etc.), and support daily work (desks, tools, computers,
telephones, etc.).  Consultants are required to return any assets or related
documents to the Company.
