EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


          EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of October 10, 2005, between FOSTER WHEELER LTD., a Bermuda company (the “Company”), and Peter J. Ganz (the “Executive”).

          The Executive and the Company wish to enter into 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, in the capacity
          of Executive Vice President and General Counsel of the Company and to
          perform such other duties consistent with such position (including service
          as a director or officer of any affiliate of the Company if elected)
          as may be assigned by the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer;
          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. The Executive’s title shall be Executive Vice
          President and General Counsel, or such other titles of at least equivalent
          level consistent with the Executive’s duties from time to time
          as may be assigned to the Executive by the Company consistent with
          such position, and the Executive shall have all authorities as are
          customarily
          and ordinarily exercised by executives in similar positions in similar
          businesses of similar size in the United States. 




1.2     Acceptance.
            The Executive hereby accepts such employment and agrees to render
     the services described above. During the Term, and consistent with the
     above, the Executive agrees to serve the Company faithfully and
     to the best of the Executive’s ability, to devote the Executive’s entire
            business time, energy and skill to such employment, and to use the Executive’s
            best efforts, skill and ability to promote the Company’s interests.




1.3     Location.
            The duties to be performed by the Executive hereunder shall be performed
            primarily at the Company’s offices in Clinton, New Jersey, subject
            to reasonable travel requirements consistent with the nature of the Executive’s
            duties from time to time on behalf of the Company. The Executive shall
            keep Executive’s primary residence within reasonable daily commute
          of the Clinton, New Jersey area throughout the Term.




2.     Term of Employment. 




 2.1     Term.
        The term of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement (the “Term”)
        shall commence on October 10, 2005 (the “Effective Date”),
        and shall end on the date on which the Term is terminated pursuant to
        Section 4.

3.     Compensation; Benefits.  




 3.1     Salary.
        As compensation for all services to be rendered pursuant to this Agreement,
        the Company agrees to pay to the Executive during the Term a base salary,
        payable monthly in arrears, at the initial annual rate of Four Hundred
        and Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($425,000.00) (the “Base Salary”).
        On each anniversary of the Effective Date or such other appropriate date
        during each year of the Term when the salaries of executives at the Executive’s
        level are normally reviewed, the Company shall review the Base Salary
        and determine if, and by how much, the Base Salary should be increased.
        All payments of Base Salary or other compensation hereunder shall be
        less such deductions or withholdings as are required by applicable law
        and regulations.




 3.2     Bonus.  




 3.2.1     Executive
        shall be eligible to participate, as determined by the Compensation Committee
        of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), in
        the Company’s annual incentive program as in effect from time to
        time for executives at the Executive’s level. Initially, the Executive’s
        participation shall be in the discretionary bonus program designated
        the “Foster Wheeler Annual Incentive Plan for 2002 and Subsequent
        Years.” The Executive shall be eligible for an annual incentive
        bonus at a target opportunity of seventy percent (70%) of Base Salary
        (up to a maximum opportunity of two hundred and ten percent (210%) of
        Base Salary) based upon the achievement of certain business unit objectives
        established in advance by the Chairman. The actual amount of any annual
        incentive bonus shall be determined by and in accordance with the terms
        of the Company’s annual incentive program as in effect from time
        to time and the Executive shall have no absolute right to an annual incentive
        bonus in any year.  




3.2.2     The
        Company shall pay to the Executive on the Effective Date a signing bonus
        in the amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) (the “Signing
        Bonus”). If the Company terminates the Executive for Cause (as
        defined below) or if the Executive terminates employment with the Company
        other than with Good Reason (as defined below), in either event before
        the first anniversary of the Effective Date, the Executive shall repay
        to the Company, within thirty (30) days of such termination, the gross
        amount of the Signing Bonus on a pro-rated basis by multiplying the Signing
        Bonus by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar
        days from the date of termination of employment to the first anniversary
        of the Effective Date and the denominator of which is three hundred and
        sixty-five (365). 




3.3     Long-Term
          Incentive. Executive will receive the following: 




3.3.1     A
        grant of a number of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate fair market
        value, determined by the average of the high and low prices of a share
        of Common Stock on October 7, 2005, of $521,645.00 (the “Restricted
        Stock”). The Restricted Stock will be granted under a Restricted
        Stock Plan on terms and conditions substantially the same as applicable
        to those applicable to grants under the Foster Wheeler Ltd. Management
        Restricted Stock Plan. The Restricted Stock will be issued either on
        the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as the Company can complete
        the filing of an effective registration statement with the Securities
        and Exchange Commission on Form S-8 covering the issuance of the Restricted
        Stock. 




3






3.3.2     A
        grant of options to purchase 52,165 shares of Common Stock (the “Options”).
        The Options will be granted under the Foster Wheeler Ltd. 2004 Stock
        Option Plan, and for purposes of such Plan (a) the Options will be Nonstatutory
        Options, (b) the Exercise Price will be equal to the average of the high
        and low prices of a share of Common Stock on October 7, 2005, and
        (c) the Expiration Date will be the last business day immediately preceding
        the third anniversary of your first day of employment. The Options will
        be issued on the Effective Date.  




Thirty-three and one third percent (33-1/3%) of both the Restricted Stock and the Options will vest on December 31, 2005, and the remaining 66 2/3% will vest on December 31, 2006, provided Executive is still employed on such dates, and subject to the remaining provisions of the Restricted Stock and Stock Option Plans. 




The Restricted Stock and Options will constitute Executive’s long-term incentive opportunity for the remainder of 2005 and 2006.  Commencing with 2007, Executive will be entitled to a long term incentive value opportunity equivalent to 1.5 times Base Salary per year, the form and conditions of which will be established by the Compensation Committee.

The Restricted Stock and Options will be governed by separate agreements entered into between Executive and the Company, and in the event of any inconsistency between such separate agreements and the terms of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, Section 4.2.2(iv)), the separate agreements shall govern and control.  For avoidance of doubt, nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed to limit the application of any provision of such separate agreements that expressly refers to and incorporates a provision of this Agreement.




3.4     Business Expenses.  The Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive for all reasonable expenses actually incurred or paid by the Executive during the Term in the performance of the Executive’s services under this Agreement, subject to and in accordance with applicable expense reimbursement and related policies and procedures as in effect from time to time.

               3.7     Change of Control.  The Executive shall be covered under the Company’s Change in Control Agreement as in effect from time to time for executives at the Executive’s level.  Any amounts and/or benefits payable, paid or provided to the Executive under such Change in Control Agreement shall be in lieu of and not in addition to amounts and/or benefits payable or provided under this Agreement.

5.     Protection of Confidential Information; Non-Competition.





5.1     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.




6







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     In consideration of the Company’s entering into this Agreement, the Executive agrees that at all times during the Term and thereafter for the time period described hereinbelow, 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     until the first anniversary of the Termination Date, engage in any activity for or on behalf of a Competitor, as director, employee, shareholder, 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;





5.2.2     until the second anniversary of the Termination Date, (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 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.  For purposes of this Agreement, “a material line of business conducted by the Company” means an activity of the Company generating gross revenues to the Company of more than twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000) in the immediately preceding fiscal year of the Company.  



5.3     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.




7







5.4     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     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     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     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 of 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.




          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 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.




          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 or 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.

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 by
