Dear <<FULL_NAME>>:

 

As an incentive for your continued employment with Gulf Island Fabrication, Inc.

Except as provided below, if your employment with the Company terminates for any
reason or if you give notice of your intent to terminate your employment prior
to [either/the] Payment Date, you will not earn or receive any unpaid portion of
the Retention Payment. If you are terminated by the Company without “Cause” (as
defined below) prior to [either/the] Payment Date, you will receive a payment
for any unpaid portion of the Retention Payment, which shall be paid to you on
the 60th day flowing your termination date, provided you execute and deliver to
the Company (without subsequent revocation) a waiver and release in the form
provided by the Company (the “Release”) within the time-frame specified in the
Release.  If you do not timely execute the Release or if you validly revoke any
part of the Release, the Company will have no obligation to provide the
Retention Payment.  The Company shall provide you with a form of the Release
within five (5) days after your termination date.

 

For purposes of this notice, and except as otherwise noted below, “Cause” shall
mean: (i) your failure to substantially perform your material duties owed to the
Company (other than as a results of incapacity due to physical or mental
illness); (ii) your gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct in the course
of your employment that has a detrimental effect on the Company; (iii) your
commission of any act or your failure to take any act that the Company
reasonably determines was intended by you to injure the reputation, business, or
business relationships of the Company; (iv) your indictment of, conviction of,
or pleas of guilty or nolo contendere to (a) any misdemeanor involving moral
turpitude, theft, unethical business conduct or other conduct which could
reflect in some material fashion unfavorably upon the Company or (b) any felony
(or the equivalent of such misdemeanor or felony in a jurisdiction other than
the United States); or (v) your intentional, material misappropriation,
embezzlement, or misuse of funds or property belonging to the Company.  However,
if you are party to a Change of Control Agreement with the Company, “Cause”
shall have the meaning set forth in that agreement.

 

This notice does not alter the “at will” nature of your employment, which may be
terminated by you or the Company at any time.

 

Sincerely,
