Exhibit 10.38

First Amendment to the

FOSTER WHEELER AG

Omnibus Incentive Plan

(Effective May 9, 2006 and Restated Effective February 9, 2009)

(the “Plan”)

     The Plan is hereby amended as follows, pursuant to resolutions adopted by the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors of Foster Wheeler AG on November 3, 2010:

	1.	 	Sections 2(i)(“Cause”), 2(j)(“Change in Control”), 2(q)(“Disability”), and 2(tt)(“Resignation
for Good Reason”) are amended by adding immediately after the words “the Chief Executive
Officer” the following: “, the President, an Executive Vice President, the Controller, or the
Secretary”.
	 
	2.	 	Section 2(vv) is replaced in its entirety with the following language:
	 
	 	 	“‘Retirement’ means:

	 	(i)	 	For any termination of employment by the Participant on or prior to August 31,
2013, a termination of employment after the Participant has either (A) attained
age 65, or (B) (I) attained age 60 and (II) provided to the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer written notice of the Participant’s intent to terminate employment by
way of Retirement as of a date certain, which notice is provided at least one (1) year
prior to the date of the intended Retirement; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	For any termination of employment by the Participant after August 31, 2013, a
termination of employment after the Participant has (A) attained age 60 and (B)
provided to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer written notice of the Participant’s
intent to terminate employment by way of Retirement as of a date certain, which notice
is provided at least one (1) year prior to the date of the intended Retirement.

	 	 	For the avoidance of doubt, if a Participant has met the relevant Retirement criteria set
forth above but is terminated without Cause or is the subject of a Resignation for Good
Reason prior to the date set forth in the notice described above, the Participant shall
remain eligible for Retirement under this Plan.”
	 

	3.	 	Section 22.17 is replaced in its entirety with the following language:

     “22.17 Deferred Compensation. It is the Company’s intent that any Awards granted under this
Plan are structured to be exempt from Code Section 409A, including all Treasury Regulations and
other guidance issuance pursuant thereto (“Section 409A”) or are structured to comply with the
requirements of deferred compensation subject to Section 409A. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision of the Plan or any Award, the following provisions shall apply to any Award in a manner
consistent with such intent.

	 	(a)	 	For purposes of this Section 22.17, an Award shall constitute a “409A Award” as
used in this Section 22.17 only if and to the extent either:

	 	(i)	 	it is an Award (other than an Option, SAR, or Restricted Stock)
that (A) is not ‘subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture’ as defined in
Section 409A (by reason

 

	 		 	of the Participant having attained eligibility for Retirement or otherwise),
and (B) (1) that is actually settled after March 15 of the year following
the year in which the Award ceases to be subject to a substantial risk of
forfeiture or (2) that the terms of the Plan or the Award provide will be
settled after such March 15 or upon or after the occurrence of any event
that may occur after such March 15; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the Committee (after taking into account the definition of
Resignation for Good Reason as provided in Section 2(tt), and any applicable
exemptions from Section 409A), determines that the Award otherwise constitutes
deferred compensation as defined in Section 409A.

	 	 	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Award shall not be considered a 409A Award if at
the time the Award is granted (or, if later, the time the Award is no longer subject
to a substantial risk of forfeiture), the Participant is not subject to United
States income tax on any of the Participant’s income (including such Award if it
were taxable), or if the Award is otherwise covered by any of the exceptions
contained in the Section 409A regulations relating to foreign plans.
	 
	 	(b)	 	If any amount becomes payable under any 409A Award by reason of a Participant’s
termination of employment, and such Participant incurs a termination of employment as
set forth in the Plan (including, without limit, Section 5.4 of the Plan) or the Award
that is not a ‘separation from service,’ as defined by Section 409A, then the
Participant’s right to such payment, to the extent not already vested, shall be fully
vested on the date of the termination of employment, but payment shall be deferred
until the earliest of (i) the date the Participant incurs such a separation from
service (or six months thereafter if and to the extent required by Section 22.17(d)),
(ii) the date that a ‘change in control event’ as defined in Section 409A occurs with
respect to the Participant, (iii) the Participant’s death, or (iv) if the terms of the
Award provide for payment upon a specific vesting date, such specific vesting date.
Notwithstanding anything in this Plan, the Committee shall not exercise its discretion
under Section 5.5 in a manner inconsistent with this Section 22.17.
	 
	 	(c)	 	If any amount becomes payable under any 409A Award by reason of a Change in
Control, and a Change in Control occurs as defined by the Plan or the Award that is not
a ‘change in control event,’ as defined by Section 409A, with respect to such
Participant, then the Participant’s right to such payment, to the extent not already
vested, shall be fully vested on the date of the Change in Control, and the amount of
such payment shall be determined as of such date, but payment shall be deferred until
the earliest of (i) the date on which a change in control event occurs with respect to
the Participant, (ii) the date on which the Participant incurs a separation from
service (or six months thereafter to the extent required by Section 22.17(d)), (iii)
the Participant’s death, or (iv) if the terms of the Award provide for payment upon a
specific vesting date, such specific vesting date.
	 
	 	(d)	 	No amount that becomes payable under any 409A Award by reason of a
Participant’s separation from service (as determined after the application of Section
22.17(b) and (c)) will be made to a Participant who is a ‘specified employee’ (as
defined by Section 409A) until the earlier of: (i) the first day following the sixth
month anniversary of the Participant’s separation from service, or (ii) the
Participant’s date of death.
	 
	 	(e)	 	To the extent that payment of any amount of a 409A Award is required to be
deferred to a later date (the “409A Deferral Date”) by reason of Section 409A, all
amounts that would

2

 

	 		 	otherwise have been paid prior to the 409A Deferral Date shall be paid in a single
lump sum on the first business day following the 409A Deferral Date, and the
Committee may, in its sole discretion (but shall in no event be required to) permit
an earlier payment to a Participant to the extent necessary to alleviate a ‘severe
financial hardship’ resulting from an ‘unforeseeable emergency,’ all as defined in
Section 409A.
	 
	 	(f)	 	For purposes of Section 409A, each ‘payment’ (as defined by Section 409A) made
under this Plan shall be considered a ‘separate payment’ for purposes of Section 409A.
	 
	 	(g)	 	Any payment with respect to a 409A Award that becomes payable upon a specified
vesting date, as defined in the Plan or Award, shall be paid as soon as practical after
such vesting date, but not later than the last day of the calendar year in which the
vesting date occurs.
	 
	 	(h)	 	Notwithstanding the Company’s intentions as set forth above, if any Award
granted under this Plan would fail to meet the requirements of Section 409A with
respect to such Award, then such Award shall remain in effect and be subject to
taxation in accordance with Section 409A. Neither the Company nor any member of the
Committee shall have any liability for any tax imposed on a Participant by Section
409A, and, if any tax is imposed on the Participant, the Participant shall have no
recourse against the Company or any member of the Committee for payment of any such
tax.”

	4.	 	This Amendment is effective as of the date on which it was approved by the Compensation
Committee. All Sections of this Amendment shall apply to future Awards and this Amendment
also shall apply to Awards outstanding on the date of this Amendment as described below.
Section 1 of this Amendment (amending certain definitions) shall apply to any Award
outstanding on the effective date of this Amendment, and all Award Agreements with respect to
outstanding Awards are deemed amended to the extent the terms are inconsistent with Section 1
of this Amendment unless and to the extent such application would be contrary to Section 19.3
of the Plan. Section 2 (amending the definition of Retirement) shall, consistent with its
terms, apply to any Award outstanding on the effective date of this Amendment and all Award
Agreements with respect to outstanding Awards are deemed amended to the extent the terms are
inconsistent with Section 2 of this Amendment. Section 3 of this Amendment (amending Section
22.17 of the Plan) shall, pursuant to Section 19.4 of the Plan, apply to any Award outstanding
on the effective date of this Amendment, and all Award Agreements with respect to outstanding
Awards are deemed amended to the extent the terms are inconsistent with Section 22.17 as
amended herein.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Foster Wheeler AG has caused this First Amendment to the Plan to be
executed.

Exhibit 10.82

SECOND AMENDMENT

TO THE

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

BETWEEN FOSTER WHEELER INC.

AND

PETER D. ROSE

          This SECOND AMENDMENT (this “Amendment”) to the Employment Agreement between FOSTER WHEELER
INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and PETER D. ROSE (the “Executive”), dated as August
20, 2008, is made and entered into as of November 16, 2010 (the “Effective Date”).

          WHEREAS, Foster Wheeler Ltd. entered into an Employment Agreement with the Executive, dated as
of August 20, 2008, which Employment Agreement was assumed by Foster Wheeler Inc. from Foster
Wheeler Ltd. on or about February 9, 2009; and

          WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive entered into a First Amendment to the Employment
Agreement, effective January 18, 2010 (the Employment Agreement, as so amended, the “Agreement”);
and

          WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive have agreed to further amend the Agreement as set forth
herein; and

          WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreement, an amendment to the Agreement may be made pursuant to the
written consent of the Company and the Executive.

          NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, and in further consideration of the following mutual promises, covenants and
undertakings, the parties agree that the Agreement is amended effective as of the Effective Date,
as follows:

	1.	 	Agreement Section 4.1.5 is hereby revised by adding the following new sentence to the end of
Section 4.1.5:

In the event that the termination of the Executive’s employment does not
constitute a “separation from service” as defined in Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, including all regulations and other guidance
issued pursuant thereto (the “Code”), the Executive’s rights to the payments
and benefits described in this Section 4 shall vest upon the Termination
Date, but no payment to the Executive that is subject to Section 409A shall
be paid until the Executive incurs a separation from service (or as set
forth at Section 13, until six months after such date if the Executive is a
specified employee), and any amounts that would otherwise have been paid
prior to such date shall be paid instead as soon as practicable after such
date.

	2.	 	The beginning of the first sentence in Agreement Section 4.2.2 is hereby revised by adding
the words “, beginning on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date, “
so that the beginning of the sentence reads in its entirety as follows:

 

Following a termination by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for
Good Reason, the Company shall, beginning on the sixtieth (60th)
day following the Termination Date, pay or provide to the Executive in
addition to the payments and benefits in Section 4.2.1 above:

	3.	 	The last paragraph in Agreement Section 4.2.2 is hereby revised to read in its entirety as
follows:

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event, shall
the Executive be entitled to receive the pay and benefits that the Company
shall provide the Executive pursuant to this Section 4.2.2 unless the
Executive provides the Company an enforceable waiver and release agreement
in a form that the Company normally requires. Such release shall be
furnished to the Executive for the Executive’s review not later than 7
business days following the Termination Date, and shall be executed and
returned to the Company within 21 days of receipt (or within 45 days of
receipt if the Executive’s separation is part of a group). Provided the
Executive does not timely revoke the waiver and release agreement, pay and
benefits pursuant to this Section 4.2.2 shall commence on the 60th day
following the Executive’s Termination Date. Any amounts that otherwise
would have been paid to the Executive pursuant to this Section 4.2.2 before
the 60th day shall be paid to the Executive, without interest, on the 60th
day.

	4.	 	The beginning of the first sentence in Agreement 4.3.2 is hereby revised by adding the words
“, beginning on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date, “ so that
the beginning of the sentence reads in its entirety as follows:

If, during the Change of Control Period, the Company terminates the
Executive’s employment without Cause (other than for death or Disability) or
the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, the Company shall,
beginning on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination
Date, pay or provide to the Executive the following:

	5.	 	Agreement Section 4.3.2(i) is hereby revised by deleting its subsection (II) and to read in
its entirety as follows:

Accrued Obligations. The Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the
Termination Date and any accrued vacation pay, in each case, to the extent
not theretofore paid (the sum of the amounts described in this Subsection
4.3.2(i), the “Accrued Obligations”), all in a lump sum in cash within 30
days following the Termination Date; and

	6.	 	Agreement Section 13 is hereby revised by adding the following new Section 13.1:

13.1 To the maximum extent permitted by law and consistent with the
substantive terms of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be interpreted and
administered in such a manner that the payments to the Executive are either
exempt from, or comply with all requirements of, Section 409A of the Code.

	7.	 	The first sentence in the first paragraph of the Addendum is hereby revised to replace “June
30, 2012” with “August 15, 2012” so that that first sentence reads in its entirety as follows:

2

 

This Addendum sets forth the terms and conditions applicable during the
Executive’s performance of duties (as described in Agreement Section 1.1) in
Switzerland from January 18, 2010 through the earlier of (i) August 15, 2012
or (ii) the date of Agreement termination by the Company or Executive (the
“Assignment Term”).

	8.	 	The Addendum is hereby revised by adding the following to the end of Section A-3(d): “and
the Company and the Executive acknowledge and agree that the amount of the settling-in
allowance was increased by an additional CHF 15,000, which CHF 15,000 was paid to the
Executive during 2010.”

	9.	 	The Addendum is hereby revised by adding the following new Section A-3 (m):

(m) US Maintenance Allowance. Effective as of January 18, 2010, the
Executive shall be paid a monthly maintenance allowance related to his US
home of USD $500 for each month during the Assignment Term.

	10.	 	The Addendum is hereby revised by adding the following new Section A-3 (n):

(n) Lease Termination Payments. If either (i) the Company relocates
the Executive’s principal business location so that commute from the
Executive’s residence in the Geneva area is increased by more than 50 miles,
(ii) the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause, or
(iii) the Executive resigns for Good Reason, and, if as a result of
any of the foregoing the Executive vacates the Executive’s Geneva residence
and incurs lease termination expenses, continuing lease expenses or similar
expenses in connection with the Geneva residence despite the Executive’s
best efforts to avoid and/or limit such expenses, then the Company
shall reimburse the Executive for such expenses as soon as administratively
possible after they are incurred by the Executive.

	11.	 	The Addendum is hereby revised by revising Section A-5(d) to replace “June 30, 2012” with
“August 15, 2012” each time it appears, so that Section A-5(d) reads in its entirety as
follows:

(d) End of Assignment Term. If the Executive terminates employment
on or after August 15, 2012, such termination of employment shall be deemed
a termination by the Executive for Good Reason and the Executive shall be
entitled to the separation payments and benefits described in Agreement
Sections 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 (or 4.3.2 if the termination occurs during a Change
of Control Period). No notice requirement shall apply for a termination of
employment on or after August 15, 2012. In addition, the Company shall pay
the reasonable costs associated with repatriation to the U.S.

	12.	 	Counterparts. This Amendment 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.
