Form Non-Qualified Stock Option (2005 Plan)

GLOBAL INDUSTRIES, LTD.

NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

     AGREEMENT made as of     
            (the “Date of Grant”) between GLOBAL INDUSTRIES, LTD., a
Louisiana corporation (the “Company”) and          
                      (“Employee”).

     To carry out the purposes of the GLOBAL INDUSTRIES, LTD. 2005 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN (the
“Plan”), by affording Employee the opportunity to purchase shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value
per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”), and in consideration of the mutual agreements and other
matters set forth herein and in the Plan, the Company and Employee hereby agree as follows:

     1. Grant of Option. The Company hereby irrevocably grants to Employee the right and option
(“Option”) to purchase all or any part of an aggregate of                          shares of Common Stock,
on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan, which Plan is incorporated herein by
reference as a part of this Agreement. This Option shall not be treated as an incentive
stock option within the meaning of section 422(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”). This Option is not transferable by Employee otherwise than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution, and may be exercised only by Employee during Employee’s lifetime.

     2. Purchase Price. The purchase price of Common Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of
this Option shall be                           per share, which has been determined to be not less than 100%
of the fair market value of the Common Stock at the Date of Grant of this Option. For all purposes
of this Agreement, fair market value of Common Stock shall be determined in accordance with the
provisions of the Plan.

     3. Exercise of Option. Subject to the earlier expiration of this Option as herein provided,
this Option may be exercised, by written notice to the Company at its principal executive office
addressed to the attention of its Human Resources Department, Stock Plan Administrator (or such
other officer or employee of the Company as the Company may designate from time to time), at any
time and from time to time after the Date of Grant, but, except as otherwise provided below, this
Option shall not be exercisable for more than a percentage of the aggregate number of shares
offered by this Option determined by the number of full years from the Date of Grant hereof to the
date of such exercise, in accordance with the following schedule:

	 	 	 	 	 
	Number of Full Years	 	Percentage of Shares
	from Date of Grant	 	That May Be Purchased
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Less than 1 year
	 	 	0%	 
	1 year
	 	####
	2 years
	 	####
	3 years
	 	####
	4 years
	 	####
	5 years or more
	 	 	 	 

     This Option may be exercised only while Employee remains an employee of the Company and will
terminate and cease to be exercisable upon Employee’s termination of employment with the Company,
except that:

 

 

     A. If Employee’s employment with the Company terminates by reason of disability (within
the meaning of section 22(e)(3) of the Code) or Retirement, this Option shall be fully
vested and may be exercised by Employee (or Employee’s estate or the person who acquires
this Option by will or the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise by reason of the
death of Employee) at any time during the period of one year following such termination. For
purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean a full time active Employee in
good-standing ceasing to be in the employ of the Company with the consent of the Company who
is at least 60 years of age and has at least 10 years of recognized service with the
Company, in each case at the time of such termination of employment.

     B. If Employee dies while in the employ of the Company, this Option shall be fully
vested and may be exercised by Employee’s estate, or the person who acquires this Option by
will or the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise by reason of the death of
Employee, at any time during the period of one year following the date of Employee’s death.

     C. If Employee’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason other than as
described in (a) or (b) above, unless Employee voluntarily terminates without the written
consent of the Company or is terminated for cause, this Option may be exercised by Employee
at any time during the period of 90 days following such termination, or by Employee’s estate
(or the person who acquires this Option by will or the laws of descent and distribution or
otherwise by reason of the death of Employee) during a period of one year following
Employee’s death if Employee dies during such 90-day period, but in each case such exercise
shall be permitted only as to the number of shares Employee was entitled to purchase
hereunder upon exercise of this Option as of the date Employee’s employment so terminates.
For purposes of this Agreement, “cause” shall mean (i) Employee’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct in performance of the duties of Employee’s employment, or (ii) Employee’s
willful disregard of any written corporate policies established by the Company and
applicable to Employee, or (iii) Employee’s material breach of any written agreement between
Employee and the Company, or (iv) Employee’s final conviction of a misdemeanor involving
moral turpitude or a felony.

This Option shall not be exercisable in any event after the expiration of ten years from the Date
of Grant hereof. The purchase price of shares as to which this Option is exercised shall be paid
in full at the time of exercise (a) in cash (including check, bank draft or money order payable to
the order of the Company), (b) by delivering to the Company shares of Common Stock having a fair
market value equal to the purchase price, provided that such shares must have been held by Employee
for such minimum period of time as may be established from time to time by the Committee or (c) any
combination of cash or Common Stock. No fraction of a share of Common Stock shall be issued by the
Company upon exercise of an Option or accepted by the Company in payment of the purchase price
thereof; rather, Employee shall provide a cash payment for such amount as is necessary to effect
the issuance and acceptance of only whole shares of Common Stock. Unless and until a certificate
or certificates representing such shares shall have been issued by the Company to Employee,
Employee (or the person permitted to exercise this Option in the event of Employee’s death) shall
not be or have any of the rights or privileges of a shareholder of the Company with respect to
shares acquirable upon an exercise of this Option.

     4. Withholding of Tax. To the extent that the exercise of this Option or the disposition of
shares of Common Stock acquired by exercise of this Option results in compensation income or wages
to Employee for income tax purposes, Employee shall deliver to the Company at the time of such
exercise or disposition such amount of money or, with the consent of the Administrator, shares of
Common Stock as the Company may require to meet its obligation under applicable tax laws or
regulations, and, if Employee fails to do so, the Company is authorized to withhold from any cash
or Common Stock remuneration then or thereafter payable to Employee (including out of any cash or
shares of Common

2

 

Stock distributable to Employee upon such exercise) any tax required to be withheld by reason
of such resulting compensation income or wages.

     5. Status of Common Stock. The Company has registered or intends to register for issuance
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) the shares of Common Stock acquirable upon
exercise of this option, and intends to keep such registration effective throughout the period this
Option is exercisable. In the absence of such effective registration or an available exemption
from registration under the Act, issuance of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of
this Option will be delayed until registration of such shares is effective or an exemption from
registration under the Act is available. The Company intends to use its reasonable best efforts to
insure that no delay will occur. In the event exemption from registration under the Act is
available upon an exercise of this Option, Employee (or the person permitted to exercise this
Option in the event of Employee’s death), if requested by the Company to do so, will execute and
deliver to the Company in writing an agreement containing such provisions as the Company may
require to assure compliance with applicable securities laws.

     Employee agrees that the shares of Common Stock which Employee may acquire by exercising this
Option will not be sold or otherwise disposed of in any manner which would constitute a violation
of any applicable securities laws. Employee also agrees (i) that the certificates representing the
shares of Common Stock purchased under this Option may bear such legend or legends as the
Administrator of the Plan deems appropriate in order to assure compliance with applicable
securities laws, (ii) that the Company may refuse to register the transfer of the shares of Common
Stock purchased under this Option on the Common Stock transfer records of the Company if such
proposed transfer would in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company constitute a
violation of any applicable securities law and (iii) that the Company may give related instructions
to its transfer agent, if any, to stop registration of the transfer of the shares of Common Stock
purchased under this Option.

     6. Employment Relationship. For purposes of this Agreement, Employee shall be considered to
be in the employment of the Company as long as Employee remains an employee of either the Company
or Subsidiary of the Company, or a corporation, partnership or other entity or a subsidiary of such
corporation, partnership or other entity assuming or substituting its securities for the Common
Stock, or that is otherwise a successor to the Company. Nothing in the adoption of the Plan, nor
the award of the Restricted Shares thereunder pursuant to this Agreement, shall confer upon
Employee the right to continued employment by the Company or affect in any way the right of the
Company to terminate such employment at any time. Unless otherwise provided in a written
employment agreement or by applicable law, Employee’s employment by the Company shall be on an
at-will basis, and the employment relationship may be terminated at any time by either the Employee
or the Company for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause. Any question as to whether and
when there has been a termination of such employment, and the cause of such termination, shall be
determined by the Committee, and its determination shall be final.

     7. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any
successors to the Company and all persons lawfully claiming under Employee.

     8. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
laws of the State of Texas.

     9. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement replaces and merges all previous agreements
and discussions relating to the same or similar subject matters between Employee and the Company
and constitutes the entire agreement between Employee and the Company with respect to the subject
matter of this Agreement (i.e., this Restricted Share Grant). This Agreement may not be modified

3

 

in any respect by any verbal statement, representation or agreement made by any employee,
officer, or representative of the Company or by any written agreement unless signed by an officer
of the Company who is expressly authorized by the Company to execute such document. Except as
provided below, any modification of this Agreement shall be effective only if it is in writing and
signed by both Employee and an authorized officer of the Company. Notwithstanding anything in the
Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, if the Committee determines that the provisions of new
Section 409A of the Code apply to this Agreement and that the terms of this Agreement do not, in
whole or in part, satisfy the requirements of such section, then the Committee, in its sole
discretion, may unilaterally modify this Agreement in such manner as it deems appropriate to comply
with such section and any regulations or guidance issued thereunder.

     10. Notices. Any notices or other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be
sufficient if in writing. In the case of Employee, such notices or communications shall be deemed
effectively delivered if hand delivered to Employee at its principal place of employment or if sent
by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage paid, to Employee at the last
address Employee has filed with the Company. In the case of the Company, such notices or
communications shall be effectively delivered if sent by registered or certified mail to the
Company at its principal executive offices.

     11. Interpretation. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the
Plan, the Plan shall control. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are not defined in the
body of this Agreement shall have the meanings attributed to such terms under the Plan.

     12. Acknowledgements Regarding Section 409A and Section 422 of the Code. Employee understands
that if the purchase price of the Common Stock under this Option is less than the fair market value
of such Common Stock on the Date of Grant of this Option, then Employee may incur adverse tax
consequences under section 409A and Section 422 of the Code. Employee acknowledges and agrees that
(a) Employee is not relying upon any determination by the Company, its affiliates, or any of their
respective employees, directors, officers, attorneys or agents (collectively, the “Company
Parties”) of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the Date of Grant of this Option, (b)
Employee is not relying upon any written or oral statement or representation of the Company Parties
regarding the tax effects associated with Employee’s execution of this Agreement and his receipt,
holding and exercise of this Option, and (c) in deciding to enter into this Agreement, Employee is
relying on his own judgment and the judgment of the professionals of his choice with whom he has
consulted. Employee hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges the Company Parties from all
actions, causes of actions, suits, debts, obligations, liabilities, claims, damages, losses, costs
and expenses of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, on account of, arising out of, or in any
way related to the tax effects associated with Employee’s execution of this Agreement and his
receipt, holding and exercise of this Option.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be duly executed by its officer
thereunto duly authorized, and Employee has executed this Agreement, all as of the day and year
written below.

	3.02	 	Captions. The captions to the articles and sections of this Plan are for convenience
only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of its provisions.
	 
	3.03	 	Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or
invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of
the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision
had not been included.
	 
	3.04	 	Controlling Law. The Plan and all related documents shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict
of law principles of any state. Any persons or companies who now are or shall subsequently
become parties to the Plan shall be deemed to consent to this provision.
	 
	3.05	 	No Right to Employment. This Plan does not confer nor shall it be construed as
creating an express or implied contract of employment between any Participant and the
Partnership, General Partner or Affiliate or other party. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere
with or limit in any way the right of the Partnership, General Partner or Affiliate to
terminate any Participant’s employment at any time, nor confer upon any Employee any right to

ARTICLE IV. ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

	4.01	 	Eligibility. In order to be eligible to participate in the Plan for a Performance
Period, except as set forth in Section 4.03, an individual must be (a) an Employee; (b) hired
before the commencement of the last quarter of the Performance Period; (c) employed on the
last day of the Plan Year and (d) employed on the date an Actual Award is paid as set forth
herein.
	 
	4.02	 	No Right to Participation. No Employee shall have a right to participate in the
Plan, regardless of prior participation in the Plan.
	 
	4.03	 	Status Change During Performance Period. Unless otherwise determined by the
Administrator in its sole discretion, a Participant will forfeit his or her right to an Actual
Award if the Participant is not employed on the date an Actual Award is paid pursuant to
Section 6.01. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Participant is employed for at
least six (6) months during a Performance Period, and the Participant dies, becomes disabled,
or retires, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may grant a pro-rata award to such
Participant.

 

 

ARTICLE V. DETERMINATION OF AWARDS

	5.01	 	Timing of Establishment of Performance Goals. Except for Actual Awards paid out
under Section 5.05, for each Performance Period, the Administrator shall establish Performance
Goals. Performance Goals will be allocated between Financial Performance Goals and Individual
Performance Goals so that the total allocation is one hundred percent (100%). This allocation
may change each Plan Year as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. The
Individual Performance Goals and Financial Performance Goals may change each Plan Year as
determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.
	 
	5.02	 	Target Award Level. Except for Actual Awards paid out under Section 5.05, for each
Performance Period, the Administrator shall establish a Target Award Level for Participants
that corresponds to the achievement of the Performance Goals for the applicable Performance
Period. Guidelines for Target Award Levels for Participants are set forth on Exhibit
B but the Administrator in its sole discretion may change the Target Award Levels for
Participants for each Performance Period. The established Target Award Level may vary for
each Participant and need not by uniform among each Tier.
	 
	5.03	 	Establishment of Performance Goals. Target Award Levels and Performance Goals,
including allocation between Financial Performance Goals and Individual Performance Goals,
will be established by the Administrator in its sole discretion based on the principles set
forth in Exhibit C.
	 
	5.04	 	Establishment of Target Award Level for Participants in Commercial Roles. A high
degree of flexibility is appropriate in establishing Target Award Levels for Participants in
Commercial Roles. As a result, for each Performance Period, the CEO may recommend to the
Administrator a Target Award Level that will represent a bonus opportunity for such
Participants in excess of the guidelines set forth on this Exhibit B. Actual Awards
will be made from this additional Target Award Level at the end of a Performance Period only
in the event the Administrator determines that a Participant has achieved results that have
had a positive, material impact on the financial performance of a Business Unit, or the
Partnership on a consolidated basis.
	 
	5.05	 	Payment of Additional Actual Awards to Participants in Commercial Roles. In certain
business circumstances, the CEO, in consultation with the Investment Review Committee, may
recommend that certain Actual Awards should be paid to Participants in Commercial Roles that
are in excess of the Target Award Levels set forth on Exhibit B. An Actual Award paid
out under this Section 5.05 may exceed one hundred (100%) of Base Earnings but in no event
shall such Actual Award exceed two hundred (200%) of Base Earnings. Actual Awards paid out
under this Section 5.05 may be paid out over certain pre-established payment

 

 

	 	 	schedules and/or payment terms. For purposes of this Section 5.05 only, Actual Awards will
be determined by the CEO, in consultation with the Investment Review Committee, and
submitted to the Committee for review and final approval.

	5.06	 	Calculation of Actual Awards. Except for Actual Awards to be paid under Section 5.05,
for each Performance Period, the Administrator shall calculate an Actual Award based on the
performance of the Business Unit or Partnership, as applicable, compared against the Financial
Performance Goals and the Individual Performance Goals of the Participant. The Administrator
shall have sole discretion in establishing the amount or percentage of a Participant’s Actual
Award relative to the Target Award Level based on the level of achievement of the Performance
Goals for the Performance Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may
establish minimum levels of achievement for Performance Goals, below which no Participant
shall receive an Actual Award.
	 
	5.07	 	Changes in Performance Goals. Each Participant’s Actual Award shall be based on the
Target Award Levels established by the Administrator pursuant to Section 5.02, provided that
the Administrator may adjust Performance Goals to take into account extraordinary or
unanticipated circumstances or events.
	 
	5.08	 	Award Adjustments. Actual Awards shall be discretionary, and no Participant shall be
entitled to an Actual Award under the Plan. The Administrator shall have the sole discretion
to increase, reduce or eliminate the amount of a Participant’s Actual Award otherwise payable
under the Plan.

ARTICLE VI. PAYMENT OF ACTUAL AWARDS

	6.01	 	Timing and Form of Payment. No Participant shall be vested in Actual Awards, nor
Actual Awards made, prior to the end of the applicable Performance Period. A Participant’s
Actual Award shall be paid in cash as soon as practicable after the end of the Performance
Period. To the extent a Participant has a “legally binding right” (within the meaning of Code
Section 409A) to his Actual Award, such Actual Award shall be paid in cash as soon as
practicable after, and no later than, March 15th following the end of the calendar
year in which the Award is no longer subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” (within the
meaning of Code Section 409A). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, all
Actual Awards paid out under Section 5.05 shall be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture
until such Actual Awards are paid out.

 

 

ARTICLE VII. ADMINISTRATION

	7.01	 	Administrator Authority. The Plan shall be administered by the Administrator, which,
in addition to the other powers set forth herein, shall have the full power, subject to, and
within the limits of the Plan, to:

	 	(a)	 	make all determinations and interpretations and approve all rules as
may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan, including, but
not limited to, those necessary to resolve any ambiguities with respect to any of
the terms and provisions of the Plan;
	 
	 	(b)	 	exercise all powers and perform such acts in connection with the Plan
as are deemed necessary or appropriate to promote the best interests of the

	 	(g)	 	subject to the provisions of Article V, amend the terms and
conditions of any outstanding Target Award Levels to the extent such terms and
conditions are within the sole discretion of the Administrator as provided in the
Plan.

	7.02	 	Authorized Agents. The Administrator may authorize any officer of the General Partner
to execute and deliver documents on behalf of the Administrator, including administrative
guidelines for this Plan.
	 
	7.03	 	Binding Decisions. All determinations and decisions of the Administrator as to any
disputed question arising under the Plan, including questions of construction and
interpretation, shall be final, binding and conclusive upon all parties.

ARTICLE VIII. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

	8.01	 	The Administrator may amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any
time.

 

 

ARTICLE IX. MISCELLANEOUS

	9.01	 	Nontransferability. No right or interest of any Participant in the Plan shall be
assignable or transferable, or subject to any lien, directly, by operation of law or
otherwise, including, but not limited to, execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge and
bankruptcy.
	 
	9.02	 	Tax Withholding. The Partnership, the General Partner or Affiliates, as applicable,
shall have the right to deduct from all payments under the Plan any foreign, federal, state or
local income or other taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payments.
	 
	9.03	 	Non-uniform Determinations. The Administrator’s determinations under the Plan
(including without limitation, determinations of the persons to receive Awards, the form,

EXHIBIT B

Target Award Levels

     A Target Award Level shall be determined for each Participant, based on the percentage of a
Participant’s Base Earnings, which a Participant has the opportunity to earn as an Actual Award for
each Performance Period. A Participant’s Target Award Level shall be determined by the
Administrator in its sole discretion based on a Participant’s responsibility level or the position
or positions held during the Performance Period. In establishing Target Award Levels, the
following guidelines shall apply, although the Administrator shall have the sole discretion to
establish different Target Award Levels for individual Participants, or groups of Participants,
within and among tiers:

     (1) Tier I Participant (Executive Officers specified by the Committee): Target Award Level
shall be based on 100% of Base Earnings.

     (2) Tier II Participant (Executive Officers other than Tier I Participants): Target Award
Level shall be based on 50% of Base Earnings.

     (3) Tier III Participant (Grade 18 and higher other than the Executive Officers): Target Award
Level shall be based on 50% of Base Earnings.

     (4) Tier IV Participant (Grade 17): Target Award Level shall be based on 30% of Base Earnings.

     (5) Tier V Participant (Grade 15 and 16): Target Award Level shall be based on 20% of Base
Earnings.

     (6) Tier VI Participant (Grade 12, 13 and 14): Target Award Level shall be based on 15% of
Base Earnings.

     (7) Tier VII Participant (All other eligible exempt Employees): Target Award Level shall be
based on 10% of Base Earnings.

     (8) Tier VIII Participant (All eligible non-exempt Employees): Actual Awards will be
discretionary for each Tier VIII Participant based on individual performance evaluations from a
pool equal to 5% of the aggregate Base Earnings of all Tier VIII Participants.

     If any Participant holds more than one position during the Performance Period, then the
Administrator may designate different Target Award Levels with respect to each position and the
Actual Award will be pro-rated to reflect (to the nearest semi-monthly increment) the period during
which such Participant had each Target Award Level.

 

 

EXHIBIT C

Establishment of Performance Goals

     The Administrator shall establish Target Award Levels on behalf of its respective Participants
based on their Tier and the applicable Performance Goals as set forth in the table below. A
Participant earns an Actual Award for a Performance Period based on the level of achievement of the
Performance Goals established by the Administrator allocated between Financial Performance Goals
and Individual Performance Goals as set forth in the table below. The Financial Performance Goals
will be measured against the financial performance of a Participant’s Business Unit within the
Partnership and/or the Partnership on a consolidated basis. The Administrator in its sole
discretion shall select the applicable Financial Performance Goals and Individual Performance Goals
for the respective Performance Period from the table below.
