**WHEREAS**, the Executive and the Company desire to have an employment relationship on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

 

Accordingly, the Company and the Executive hereby agree as follows:

 

1.              **Employment, Duties and Acceptance**.

 

1.1                               **Employment, Duties**.                           The Company hereby agrees to employ the Executive for the Term (as defined in Section 2.1), to render exclusive and full-time services to the Company; provided, however, that the Executive may participate in civic, charitable, industry, and professional organizations to the extent that such participation does not materially interfere with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder.  As the Company may require, the services the Executive provides to the Company may include serving as the chief executive of the Parent’s (as defined below) Global E&C Global Sales and Marketing Group and/or as an officer or director of the Company and/or one or more of its affiliates.  Initially, and for the period described in the Letter of Overseas Assignment attached hereto as **Exhibit A** (the “Assignment Letter”), the Executive will be seconded to the Company’s affiliate, Foster Wheeler Energy Limited (UK).  However, notwithstanding the Assignment Letter or anything else in this Agreement, the Company’s termination or revision of the assignment described in the Assignment Letter shall not be deemed to provide the Executive with Good Reason (as defined below) to resign.

 

1.2                               **Acceptance**.                             The Executive hereby accepts such employment and agrees to render the services described above.

Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive owes a fiduciary duty of loyalty, fidelity and allegiance to act at all times in the best interests of the Company and to do no act which would, directly or indirectly, injure the Company’s business, interests, or reputation.  It is agreed that any direct or indirect interest in, connection with, or benefit from any outside activities, particularly commercial activities, which interest might in any way adversely affect Company, involves a possible conflict of interest, regardless of whether such interest interferes with the performance of the Executive’s duties with the Company.  In keeping with Executive’s fiduciary duties to the Company, Executive agrees that Executive shall not knowingly become involved in a conflict of interest with the Company, or upon discovery thereof, allow such a conflict to continue.  Moreover, Executive shall not engage in any activity which might involve a possible conflict of interest without first obtaining approval in accordance with the Company’s policies and procedures.  As part of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities, the Executive shall follow and fulfill the obligations to respect the Company’s and its affiliates’ policies and procedures, Delegation(s) of Authority, and Code of Ethics, copies of which have been provided to the Executive.  The Code of Ethics forms part of this Agreement and has been signed by the Executive and returned to the Company.

 

1.4                               **Location**.  The duties to be performed by the Executive hereunder shall be performed primarily at the Company’s affiliate’s offices in Reading, England, subject to travel

requirements consistent with the nature of the Executive’s duties from time to time on behalf of the Company.  Given the nature of the Executive’s duties, the parties expect that he will spend a considerable amount of time traveling on behalf of the Company.  The Executive shall keep Executive’s primary residence within reasonable daily commute of the Reading, England area throughout the Term.  The parties agree that the Company may, upon 30 days written notice, relocate the Executive’s primary office location, in which case the Executive shall within a reasonable time relocate his primary residence to within a reasonable daily commute of the relocated primary office.

With the exception of staff members engaging in special duties and subject to any changes which may be implemented by the Company, the Company’s basic working hours will be forty (40) hours per week.  According to the Executive’s role and responsibilities the Executive will be requested to perform his job based on its requirements independently from any time limit restrictions.  There will be no payment for overtime.

 

2.                                      **Term of Employment.**

In such case, all Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Termination Date.

5.                                      **Protection of Confidential Information; Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.**

 

5.1                               **Confidential Information**.  The Executive acknowledges that the Executive’s services will be unique, that they will involve the development of Company-subsidized relationships with

----

 

key customers, suppliers, and service providers as well as with key Company employees and that the Executive’s work for the Company will give the Executive access to highly confidential information not available to the public or competitors, including trade secrets and confidential marketing, sales, product development and other data and information which it would be impracticable for the Company to effectively protect and preserve in the absence of this Section 5 and the disclosure or misappropriation of which could materially adversely affect the Company.  Accordingly, the Executive agrees:

 

5.1.1                     except in the course of performing the Executive’s duties provided for in Section 1.1, not at any time, whether before, during or after the Executive’s employment with the Company, to divulge to any other entity or person any confidential information acquired by the Executive concerning the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ or affiliates’ financial affairs or business processes or methods or their research, development or marketing programs or plans, or any other of its or their trade secrets.  The foregoing prohibitions shall include, without limitation, directly or indirectly publishing (or causing, participating in, assisting or providing any statement, opinion or information in connection with the publication of) any diary, memoir, letter, story, photograph, interview, article, essay, account or description (whether fictionalized or not) concerning any of the foregoing, publication being deemed to include any presentation or reproduction of any written, verbal or visual material in any communication medium, including any book, magazine, newspaper, theatrical production or movie, or television or radio programming or commercial.  In the event that the Executive is requested or required to make disclosure of information subject to this Section 5.1.1 under any court order, subpoena or other judicial process, then, except as prohibited by law, the Executive will promptly notify the Company, take all reasonable steps requested by the Company to defend against the compulsory disclosure and permit the Company to control with counsel of its choice any proceeding relating to the compulsory disclosure.  The Executive acknowledges that all information, the disclosure of which is prohibited by this section, is of a confidential and proprietary character and of great value to the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates; and

 

5.1.2                     to deliver promptly to the Company on termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, or at any time that the Company may so request, all confidential memoranda, notes, records, reports, manuals, drawings, software, electronic/digital media records, blueprints and other documents (and all copies thereof) relating to the Company’s (and its subsidiaries’ and affiliates’) business and all property associated therewith, which the Executive may then possess or have under the Executive’s control.

 

5.2                               **Company Protections**.  In consideration of the Company’s entering into this Agreement, the Executive agrees that at all times during the Term and thereafter for twenty-four (24) months, in the event the executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 4.3.2 hereof, or for twelve (12) months, in the event the Executive’s employment terminates for any other reason, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, for Executive or on behalf of or in conjunction with, any other person, company, partnership, corporation, business, group, or other entity (each, a “Person”):

 

5.2.1                     **Non-Competition**:  engage in any activity for or on behalf of a Competitor, as director, employee, shareholder (excluding any such shareholding by the Executive of no more than 5% of the shares of a publicly-traded company), consultant or otherwise, which is the same as or similar to activity in which Executive engaged at any time during the last two (2) years of employment by the Company; or

 

5.2.2                     **Non-Solicitation**:  (i) call upon any Person who is, at such Termination Date, engaged in activity on behalf of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company for the purpose or with the intent of enticing such Person to cease such activity on behalf of the Company or such subsidiary or affiliate; or (ii) solicit, induce, or attempt to induce any customer of the Company or any

 

9

----

 

subsidiary or affiliate of the Company to cease doing business in whole or in part with or through the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate, or to do business with any Competitor.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, “Competitor” means a person or entity who or which is engaged in a material line of business conducted by the Company and/or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company.  For purposes of this Agreement, “a material line of business conducted by the Company and/or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company” means an activity of the Company and/or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company generating gross revenues to the Company and/or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company of more than twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000) in the immediately preceding fiscal year of the Company.

 

5.3                               **Remedies and Injunctive Relief**.  If the Executive commits a breach or threatens to breach any of the provisions of Section 5.1 or 5.2 hereof, the Company shall have the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Agreement specifically enforced by injunction or otherwise by any court having jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach will cause irreparable injury to the Company in addition to money damage and that money damages alone will not provide a complete or adequate remedy to the Company, it being further agreed that such right and remedy shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company under law or in equity.

 

5.4                               **Severability**.  If any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3, or any part thereof, hereafter are construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not affect the remainder of the covenant or covenants, which shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions.

 

5.5                               **Extension of Term of Covenants Following Violation**.  The period during which the prohibitions of Section 5.2 are in effect shall be extended by any period or periods during which the Executive is in violation of Section 5.2.

 

5.6                               **Blue Penciling by Court**.  If any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1 or 5.2, or any part thereof, are held to be unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to revise or modify such provision to make it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and, in its revised or modified form, said provision shall then be enforceable.

 

5.7                               **Blue Penciling by One Court Not to Affect Covenants in Another State**.  The parties hereto intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the covenants contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 upon the courts of any state within the geographical scope of such covenants.  In the event that the courts of any one or more of such states shall hold such covenants wholly unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such covenants or otherwise, it is the intention of the parties’ hereto that such determination not bar or in any way affect the Company’s right to the relief provided above in the courts of any other states within the geographical scope of such covenants as to breaches or such covenants in such other respective jurisdictions, the above covenants as they relate to each state being for this purpose severable into diverse and independent covenants.

 

6.                                      **Intellectual Property.**

 

6.1                               **Company’s Rights**.  Notwithstanding and without limiting the provisions of Section 5, the Company shall be the sole owner of all the products and proceeds of the Executive’s services hereunder, including, but not limited to, all materials, ideas, concepts, formats, suggestions, developments, arrangements, packages, programs and other intellectual properties that the Executive may acquire, obtain, develop or create in connection with or during the Term, free and clear of any claims by

 

10

----

 

the Executive (or anyone claiming under the Executive) of any kind or character whatsoever (other than the Executive’s right to receive payments hereunder), the Executive shall, at the request of the Company, execute such assignments, certificates or other instruments as the Company may from time to time deem necessary or desirable to evidence, establish, maintain, perfect, protect, enforce or defend its right, title or interest in or to any such properties.

 

7.                                      **Indemnification.**

 

7.1                               **General Rule**.  In addition to any rights to indemnification to which the Executive is entitled under the Company’s charter and by-laws, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company will indemnify, from the assets of the Company supplemented by insurance in an amount determined by the Company, the Executive at all times, during and after the Term, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, shall pay the Executive’s expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, which shall be paid in advance by the Company as incurred, subject to recoupment in accordance with applicable law) in connection with any threatened or actual action, suit or proceeding to which the Executive may be made a party, brought by any shareholder of the Company directly or derivatively or by any third party by reason of any act or omission or alleged act or omission in relation to any affairs of the Company or any subsidiary of affiliate of the Company of the Executive as an officer, director or employee of the Company or of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company.  The Company shall use its best efforts to maintain during the Term and thereafter insurance coverage sufficient in the determination of the Company to satisfy any indemnification obligation of the Company arising under this Section 7.

 

8.                                      **Notices.**

 

All notices, requests, consents and other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered personally, one day after sent by overnight courier or three days after mailed first class, postage prepaid, by registered or certified mail, as follows (or to such other address as either party shall designate by notice in writing to the other in accordance herewith):

9.                                      **General.**

 

9.1                               **Governing Law and Jurisdiction**.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of Singapore applicable to agreements made between residents thereof and to be performed entirely in Singapore.  Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Singapore.

 

9.2                               **Headings**.  The section headings contained herein are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

 

9.3                               **Entire Agreement; Non-exclusivity**.  This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings, written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof.  No representation, promise or inducement has been made by either party that is not embodied in this Agreement, and neither party shall be bound by or liable for any alleged representation, promise or inducement not so set forth.

 

Other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future participation in any plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company or the Affiliated Companies and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any other contract or agreement with the Company or the Affiliated Companies.  For avoidance of doubt, it is agreed and understood that this Agreement shall not supersede or otherwise adversely affect (i) any stock option, restricted stock or other form of equity grant or award provided to Executive heretofore entered into with the Company or the Parent, (ii) or any indemnification agreement heretofore entered into between the Company and the Executive, or (iii) any confidentiality, intellectual property, non-competition, or non-solicitation agreement heretofore entered into between the Company and the Executive, *provided, however,*that in the event of a direct conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any of the documents described in (iii) above, this Agreement shall prevail.  Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of or any contract or agreement with the Company or any of the Affiliated Companies at or subsequent to the Termination Date shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive receives payments and benefits pursuant to this Agreement in connection with the termination of the Executive’s employment, the Executive shall not be entitled to any severance pay or benefits under any severance plan, program or policy of the Company and the Affiliated Companies, unless specifically provided therein in a specific reference to this Agreement.

 

9.4                               **Full Settlement**.  The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others.  The Company agrees to pay as incurred (within ten days following the Company’s receipt of an invoice from the Executive, which invoice the Executive must submit to the Company no later than March 1 of the year following the year in which the expenses were incurred), to the full extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses which the Executive may reasonably incur as a result of any contest (regardless of the outcome thereof) by the Company, the Executive or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance thereof (including as a result of any contest by the Executive about the amount of any

 

12

----

 

payment pursuant to this Agreement), plus in each case interest on any delayed payment at the rate provided for under applicable law.

 

9.5                               **Assignability**.  This Agreement, and the Executive’s rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned by the Executive, nor may the Executive pledge, encumber or anticipate any payments or benefits due hereunder, by operation of law or otherwise.  The Company may upon notice to Executive with immediate effect assign its rights, together with its obligations, hereunder (i) to any affiliate or (ii) to a third party in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of any business to which the Executive’s services are then principally devoted, provided that no assignment pursuant to this Section 9.6 shall relieve the Company from its obligations hereunder to the extent the same are not timely discharged by such assignee.

 

9.6                               **Assumption of Agreement by Successor**.  The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.

 

9.7                               **Survival**.  The respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the Term to the extent necessary to the intended preservation of such rights and obligations.

 

9.8                               **Amendment**.  This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded, canceled, renewed or extended and the terms or covenants hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument executed by both of the parties hereto, or in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance.  The failure of either party at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect the right at a later time to enforce the same.  No waiver by either party of the breach of any term or covenant contained in this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such breach, or a waiver of the breach of any other term or covenant contained in this Agreement.

 

9.9                               **Counterparts**.  This Agreement 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.

 

9.10                        **Acknowledgement of Ability to Have Counsel Review**.  The parties acknowledge that this Agreement is the result of arm’s-length negotiations between sophisticated parties each afforded the opportunity to utilize representation by legal counsel.  Each and every provision of this Agreement shall be construed as though both parties participated equally in the drafting of same, and any rule of construction that a document shall be construed against the drafting party shall not be applicable to this Agreement.

 

10.                               **Free to Contract.**

 

The Executive represents and warrants to the Company that Executive is able freely to accept engagement and employment by the Company as described in this Agreement and that there are no existing agreements, arrangements or understandings, written or oral, that would prevent Executive from entering into this Agreement, would prevent Executive or restrict Executive in any way from rendering services to the Company as provided herein during the Term or would be breached by the future performance by the Executive of Executive’s duties hereunder.  The Executive also represents and warrants that no fee, charge or expense of any sort is due from the Company to any third person engaged

 

13

by the Executive in connection with Executive’s employment by the Company hereunder, except as disclosed in this Agreement.
