 Pursuant to the Foster Wheeler AG Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), a copy of which
has been delivered to you, along with a prospectus describing the material terms of the Plan, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and your agreement to such additional terms, conditions and restrictions as are set forth
below, you have been granted as of the date set forth above a Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Restricted Stock Unit Award” or “Award”), meaning the right to receive registered shares of Foster Wheeler AG (the
“Company”) on the terms and conditions set forth herein. Unless otherwise defined in this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, definition by incorporation
through Section 2 of this Agreement), the terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings defined in the Plan. 
 You
must accept this Restricted Stock Unit Award by responding to the cover e-mail to which this Award is attached in accordance with the instructions contained in the e-mail. If you do not accept this Award, you will have no further rights or
obligations under this Agreement, and will not be eligible to receive any other grants in lieu of this Award. However, failing to accept this Award will not affect any other grants you may have previously received, or may receive in the
future, under the Plan. 
 If you accept this Award, you will be bound by and agree to all terms of this Agreement. In addition,
you acknowledge that your rights to any Shares underlying this Award vest only as you provide services to the Company or its Affiliates over time, that the grant of this Award is not as consideration for services you rendered to the Company or its
Affiliates prior to the Grant Date, and that nothing in this Agreement or the documents attached or provided herewith confers upon you any right to continue your service relationship with the Company or its Affiliates for any period of time, nor
does it interfere in any way with your right or the Company’s (or its Affiliates’) right to terminate that relationship at any time, for any reason, with or without cause. 

1. Grant and Acceptance of Restricted Stock Unit Award. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan
(the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference) and effective as of the date set forth above, the Company hereby grants to you and you hereby accept the grant of the number of Restricted Stock Units (the “Units”) set forth
above. Units will be settled only in Shares of the Company on a one Share for one Unit basis, rounded up or down to the nearest whole Share, and not in cash. 
 2. Relation of Restricted Stock Unit Award to Other Agreement(s). As an express condition to acceptance of this Restricted Stock Unit Award, subject to the special exception provided under
Section 3(e) of this Agreement (which governs a Change in Control situation), you agree that: 
 (a) Except
to the extent you are or subsequently become a party to an Other Agreement (which, for the avoidance of doubt and for purposes of this Agreement, is as defined in the Plan), the only vesting and lapse of forfeiture restriction provisions that govern
the Restricted Stock Unit Award under this Agreement are set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement; 

 (b) To the extent that the vesting and lapse of forfeiture restriction
provisions of this Agreement or the Plan’s terms are inconsistent with an Other Agreement, the provisions of your Other Agreement shall govern and control, subject to the special exception provided under Section 3(e) of this Agreement
(which governs a Change in Control situation); and 
 (c) Except as expressly provided in paragraph
(b) above, the terms of any Other Agreement shall in no way alter or amend, or provide additional rights or benefits, under the Restricted Stock Unit Award governed by this Agreement. 

3. Vesting; Termination; Assignment and Proxy; Payment of Par Value. 

(a) General Vesting Rule. You will be issued Shares in settlement of the Units only as
you vest in the Units, meaning that the Units will be settled in whole Shares on the day on which you vest in any portion of the Units (hereinafter referred to as a “Vesting Date”). So long as you provide continued service to the
Company or any Affiliate through such Vesting Date(s), and except as otherwise set forth in this Section 3, the Units shall vest and your right to receive and retain the Shares in settlement of such Units will become nonforfeitable on the
first (1st) anniversary of the Grant Date. 
 (b) Termination as a Result of Death or
Disability. In the event of your termination of service as a result of your death or Disability, any unvested Units shall immediately vest as of the date of such termination for death or Disability. 

(c) Termination for Cause. In the event your service is terminated for Cause, all unvested Units and all
Shares received in settlement of vested Units shall expire immediately, be forfeited and considered null and void, and the provisions of Section 4 of this Agreement shall control. 

(d) Termination — General. In the event of your termination of service other than as a result of your
death, Disability or Cause and occurring other than during a Change in Control Period, any unvested Units shall vest pro-rata as of the date of your termination of service based on the following formula: 

(i) the total number of Units, times  

(ii) a ratio, the numerator of which is the total number of months of service from the Grant Date to the end of the month
in which the date of your termination of service occurs, and the denominator of which is twelve (12), rounded to the nearest whole number. 
 The remaining portion of the unvested Units which are not accelerated for vesting purposes shall be immediately forfeited. 
 Example: The following example is included merely for demonstrative purposes. 

  
 2 

 Ann, a director, is granted 1,000 Units on March 4, 2011. She will vest 100% in her
Units on March 4, 2012. Ann subsequently announces her termination of service effective August 18, 2011. 
 As of
August 18, 2011, Ann will immediately vest in unvested Units equal to the amount of 500 (equal to 1,000 Units multiplied by 6 (i.e., 6 months of service from March 4, 2011) divided by 12. 

(e) Change in Control Acceleration. In the event of your termination of service during a Change in Control
Period and other than as a result of your death, Disability or Cause, any unvested Units shall immediately become fully vested, effective as of the date of such termination, provided, however, that if you are a party to an Other Agreement and such
Other Agreement contains provisions regarding the vesting or forfeiture of Units upon such termination during a Change in Control Period (or the substantial equivalent of any of the foregoing) in a manner consistent with Article 18 of the Plan, the
unvested Units shall vest or be forfeited in accordance with the terms of your Other Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with a Change in Control, you shall receive the greater of the benefits provided under Article 18 of the
Plan or any such Other Agreement to which you are a party, without duplication. 
 (f) Other Termination
Events. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Units will terminate and expire immediately upon the occurrence of the circumstances set forth in Section 11.2 of the Plan, and the provisions of
Section 4 of this Agreement shall control. 
 (g) Forfeiture Price. In the event that any
Shares previously issued to you in settlement of the Units are required to be forfeited under this Agreement, then the Company will have the right (but not the obligation) to repurchase any or all of such forfeited Shares for $0.001 per Share. The
Company will have ninety (90) days from the date of any event giving rise to forfeiture under this Agreement, as the case may be, within which to effect a repurchase of any or all of the Shares subject to such forfeiture conditions. The
Company’s right to repurchase the Shares under this paragraph (g) is assignable by the Company, in its sole discretion, to an Affiliate or other party to whom such rights can be assigned under the Applicable Laws. 

(h) Assignment and Transfer. For the sole purpose of enabling electronic trading of the awarded Shares on
the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the awarded Shares must be assigned and transferred to Cede & Co., the Nominee of the Depository Trust Company, a US clearing agency. By signing this Agreement, you make such assignment and transfer to
Cede & Co., effective upon the date of delivery of Shares under this Agreement. By signing this Agreement, you also (i) appoint the Company’s Secretary and each of its Assistant Secretaries your proxy with the right of
substitution to make such assignment and transfer to Cede & Co. and (ii) agree to execute and deliver any further documents as the Company or Cede & Co. may require in order to effectuate such assignment and transfer to
Cede & Co., all with such assignment and transfer being effective upon the date of delivery of Shares under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing assignment and transfer will not adversely affect your beneficial
ownership of, or ability to trade, the awarded Shares. 
 (i) Exercise Notice. Swiss law requires
the execution of an exercise notice for Shares to issue out of the conditional capital of the Company. By signing this Agreement, you appoint the Company’s Secretary and each of its Assistant Secretaries your proxy with the right of
substitution to execute and deliver an exercise notice at or about the time you vest in the Units. The Company reserves the right to require you to sign and deliver an exercise notice substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, with it
being understood that any payment of par value will be in accordance with paragraph (j) of this Section 3. 

  
 3 

 (j) Payment of Par Value. Swiss law and the Company’s
Articles of Association require that par value be paid in cash to the Company for any Shares issued in settlement of your Restricted Stock Unit Award if the Company does not have treasury shares available on the date of delivery of such Shares.
However, if such cash payment is required, the Company has arranged to have the payment made on your behalf as part of your award. Accordingly, you yourself will not have to make any such payment. 

(k) Termination of Relationship. The Committee shall have the discretion to determine whether your service
has been terminated as well as the date of such termination of service for purposes of this Restricted Stock Unit Award. 
 4.
Forfeiture Events. In addition to the rights available to the Company under Section 3(g) immediately above, upon the occurrence of any of the events set forth in Section 11.2 of the Plan (a “Forfeiture
Event”), you, without any further action by the Company or you, shall forfeit, as of the first day of any such Forfeiture Event: 
 (a) all rights and interest to these Units; 
 (b) any Shares
received in settlement of these Units then owned by you or by another person for your benefit; and 
 (c) any and
all profits realized by you, on an after-tax basis, pursuant to any sales or transfer of any Shares received in settlement of these Units within the six (6) month period prior to the date of such Forfeiture Event. 

Additionally, the Company shall have the right to issue a stop transfer order and other appropriate instructions and other documents implementing the
above-described forfeiture to its transfer agent, Cede & Co., the depository or any of its nominees, and/or any other person with respect to these Units and the Shares, and the Company further shall be entitled to reimbursement from you of
any fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by or on behalf of the Company in enforcing the Company’s rights under this Section 4. By accepting this Restricted Stock Unit Award, you hereby consent to a deduction from
any amounts the Company owes to you from time to time (including amounts owed to you as compensation as well as any other amounts owed to you by the Company), to the extent of any amounts that you owe to the Company under this Section 4.
Whether or not the Company elects to make any set-off in whole or in part, if the Company does not recover by means of set-off the full amount you owe to the Company, calculated as set forth above, you agree to pay immediately the unpaid balance to
the Company. You hereby grant the Company a proxy on your behalf, and you hereby agree to execute any documents necessary or appropriate to carry out the foregoing. 
 5. Form of Shares. The Company is authorized to issue registered shares in certificated or uncertificated form and it may choose the form of issuance if and when registered shares issue.

 6. Changes in Company’s Capital Structure. Subject to any required action by the Company’s Board and
stockholders, as may be determined to be appropriate and equitable by the Committee, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights, the Committee shall: 
 (a) adjust proportionately the number of Units for any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding registered shares resulting from a subdivision or combination

  
 4 

 
of such shares or the payment of a stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of such outstanding registered shares of the Company effected without the receipt of
consideration by the Company; 
 (b) if the Company is a participating corporation in any merger or consolidation
and provided the Units are not terminated upon consummation of such merger or consolidation, modify such Units to pertain to and apply to the securities or other property to which a holder of the number of shares subject to the Units would have been
entitled upon such consummation; and 
 (c) for the avoidance of doubt, make any other adjustments,
modifications, replacements, or exchanges permitted by the Plan, including without limit, the Plan’s Articles 18 and 19. 
 Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, any such actions taken by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive. 
 7. US Tax
Consequences. Below is a brief summary as of the date of this Restricted Stock Unit Award of certain United States federal tax consequences of the award of the Units and disposition of the Shares delivered in settlement of the Units under
the laws in effect as of the date of grant. THIS SUMMARY IS INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. YOU SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE SETTLEMENT OF THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES
ISSUED IN SETTLEMENT. There may be a regular federal (and state) income tax liability when the Units vest on the Vesting Date(s). You will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the
current Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying the Units on the date of vesting (i.e., when the forfeiture provisions lapse). If Shares issued upon vesting of this Restricted Stock Unit Award are held for at least one year, any gain
realized on disposition of those Shares will be treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes. 
 8.
Effect of Agreement. You acknowledge receipt of a copy of the Plan and represent that you are familiar with the terms and provisions thereof (and have had an opportunity to consult counsel regarding the Restricted Stock Unit
Award’s terms), and hereby accept this Restricted Stock Unit Award and agree to be bound by its contractual terms as set forth herein and in the Plan. You hereby agree to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions and interpretations
of the Committee regarding any questions relating to the Restricted Stock Unit Award. In the event of a conflict between the terms and provisions of the Plan and the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and, for the avoidance of doubt, in the
event this Agreement does not address an issue addressed by the Plan, the Plan terms and provisions shall prevail. 
 9.
Restriction on Transferability. Until settlement of the Units and issuance to you of the Shares subject thereto, the Units may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated at any time. Any attempt to do so
contrary to the provisions hereof shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the above and subject to Section 11 below, distribution can be made pursuant to will, the laws of descent and distribution, intra-family transfer instruments or to an
inter vivos trust. 
 10. Voting Rights. You will have no voting or any other rights as a shareholder of the
Company with respect to the Units prior to the date on which you are issued the Shares in settlement thereof. Upon delivery of the Shares in settlement of the Units, you will, subject to and governed by the procedures under the Company’s
Articles of Association, obtain voting and other rights. 

  
 5 

 11. Designation of Beneficiaries. You may, in accordance with procedures
established by the Committee, designate one or more beneficiaries to receive all or part of any Shares to be distributed to you hereunder in settlement of Units in the case of your death, and you may change or revoke such designation at any time. In
the event of your death, any Shares distributable hereunder that are subject to such a designation (to the extent such a designation is enforceable under the Applicable Laws) will be distributed to such beneficiary or beneficiaries in accordance
with this Agreement. Any other Shares distributable will be distributed to your estate. If there is any question as to the legal right of any beneficiary to receive a distribution hereunder, the amount in question will be paid over to your estate,
in which event neither the Company nor any affiliate of the Company will have any further liability to anyone with respect to such amount. 
 12. Amendment of Restricted Stock Unit Award. The Committee may at any time amend, alter, suspend or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, suspension or discontinuation (other
than as explicitly permitted under the Plan) shall be made that would adversely affect your rights under this Agreement without your consent. 
 13. Governing Law. The laws of the state of New Jersey, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law, will apply to the Plan, this Restricted Stock Unit Award and this Agreement.
The Company agrees, and you agree as a condition to acceptance of the Restricted Stock Unit Award, to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts located in the jurisdiction in which you provide, or most recently provided, your primary services to the
Company. 
 14. Data Protection. You acknowledge and agree (by executing this Agreement) to the collection, use,
processing and transfer of certain personal data as described in this Section 14. You understand that you are not obliged to consent to such collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data. However, you understand your failure to
provide such consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. You understand that the Company may hold certain personal information about you, including your name, social security number (or other tax identification number) salary,
nationality, job title, position evaluation rating along with details of all past awards and current awards outstanding under the Plan, for the purpose of managing and administering the Plan (the “Data”). The Company, or its
Affiliates, will transfer Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Company and/or any of its Affiliates may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the
Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. These various recipients of Data may be located elsewhere throughout the world. You authorize these various recipients of Data to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer
the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan, including any required transfer of such Data as may be required for the subsequent holding of Shares subject to the Unit on your behalf by
a broker or other third party with whom you may elect to deposit any Shares subject to the Unit acquired pursuant to the Plan. You understand that you may, at any time, review Data with respect to you and require any necessary amendments to such
Data. You also understand that you may withdraw the consents to use Data herein by notifying the Company in writing; however, you understand that by withdrawing your consent to use Data, you may affect your ability to participate in the Plan.

 15. Service Matters. This Restricted Stock Unit Award does not form part of your entitlement to remuneration or
benefits in terms of your services to the Company. Your terms and conditions of service are not affected or changed in any way by this Restricted Stock Unit Award or by the terms of the Plan or this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement or of
the Restricted Stock Unit Award granted hereunder shall give you any right to continue in the service of the Company or any Affiliate, create any inference as to the length of your service, affect the right of the Company or any Affiliate to
terminate your service, with or without Cause, or give you any right to participate in any 

  
 6 

 
employee welfare or benefit plan or other program (other than the Plan) of the Company or any Affiliate. You acknowledge and agree (by executing this Agreement) that the granting of the
Restricted Stock Unit Award under this Agreement is made on a fully discretionary basis by the Company and that this Agreement does not lead to a vested right to further awards in the future. Further, the Restricted Stock Unit Award set forth in
this Agreement constitutes a non-recurrent benefit and the terms of this Agreement are only applicable to the Units awarded pursuant to this Agreement. 
 16. Tax Provisions Applicable to Non-US Persons. This Section 16 shall apply to you if you are resident in and/or subject to the laws of a country other than the United States at the
time of grant of the Restricted Stock Unit Award and during the period in which you hold this Restricted Stock Unit Award or the Shares issued in settlement thereof. 

(a) Applicable if you are not a US person (including as to UK persons): You hereby agree to indemnify and
keep indemnified the Company and any Affiliate from and against any liability for, or obligation to pay, income tax and national insurance or social security contributions arising on the grant of the Restricted Stock Unit Award, vesting of the
Restricted Stock Unit Award or the issuance of the Shares in settlement. 
 (b) Applicable if you are a UK
person: Where any obligation to pay income tax or national insurance contributions or social security contributions (any such obligation or contribution, a “Tax Liability”) arises, the Company or any Affiliate may recover
from you an amount of money sufficient to meet the Tax Liability by any of the following arrangements: 
 (i)
deduction from salary or other payments due to you; or 
 (ii) withholding from the issuance to you of that
number of Shares (otherwise to be acquired by you in settlement of the Units) whose aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of exercise is, so far as possible, equal to but neither less than nor more than the amount of Tax Liability. 

If you are unable to satisfy your Tax Liability pursuant to either subparagraph (i) or clause (ii) above, the Company may
additionally cause the forfeiture of any Shares otherwise scheduled to become vested under the Restricted Stock Unit Award on a given date to avoid imposition of any Tax Liability to you. 

17. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the
illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included. 

18. Waiver; Cumulative Rights. The failure or delay of either party to require performance by the other party of any
provision hereof shall not affect its right to require performance of such provision unless and until such performance has been waived in writing. Each and every right hereunder is cumulative and may be exercised in part or in whole from time to
time. 
 19. Representations. As a condition to your receipt of this Restricted Stock Unit Award and the Shares to
be issued in settlement thereof, you represent and warrant the following: 
 (a) You are aware of the
Company’s business affairs and financial condition and have acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to accept this Restricted Stock Unit Award; 

  
 7 

 (b) You are acquiring the Restricted Stock Unit Award and the Shares subject
thereto for investment only for your own account, and not with a view, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof under Applicable Law; 

(c) You understand that neither the Units nor the Shares have been registered in all State jurisdictions within the United
States, and that the exemption(s) from registration relied upon may depend upon your investment intent as set forth above; 
 (d) You further understand that prior to any resale by you of the Shares acquired in settlement of these Units without registration of such resale in relevant State jurisdictions, the Company may require
you to furnish the Company with an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company that you may sell or transfer such Shares pursuant to an available exemption under Applicable Law; 

(e) You understand that the Company is under no obligation to assist you in this process by registering the Shares in any
jurisdiction or by ensuring that an exemption from registration is available; and

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 or a Resignation for Good Reason During a Change in Control Period prior

 Article 3.
Administration 
 3.1 General. The Committee shall be responsible for administering this Plan, subject to this Article
3 and the other provisions of this Plan. The Committee shall be the “administrator” of the Plan as defined in ERISA, and shall have all authority of an administrator as so defined. The Committee may employ attorneys, consultants,
accountants, agents, and other individuals, any of whom may be an employee of Foster Wheeler, and the Committee, the Company, and its officers and Directors shall be entitled to rely upon the advice, opinions, or valuations of any such individuals.
All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee shall be final and binding upon the Eligible Executives, the Participants, the Company, and all other interested individuals. 

3.2 Authority of the Committee. The Committee shall have full and exclusive discretionary power to interpret the terms and the
intent of this Plan and to adopt such rules, regulations, forms, instruments, and guidelines for administering this Plan as the Committee may deem necessary or proper. Such authority shall include, but not be limited to, selecting Eligible
Executives and Participants, determining the Restrictive Covenants that must be entered into by an Eligible Executive as a condition to participation and interpreting such Restrictive Covenants, determining a Participant’s eligibility for
benefits and the amount of such benefits, and, subject to Section 6.1, adopting modifications and amendments to this Plan. Anything else contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no person shall have any right to any severance benefits
under the Plan unless the Committee determines in its sole discretion that he/she is entitled to such benefits. Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee may modify the terms of the Plan as necessary to comply with Applicable Laws that apply to
any Participant who is a resident of a jurisdiction other than the United States. 
 3.3 Delegation. The Committee may
delegate to one (1) or more of its members or one (1) or more officers of the Company, or its Affiliates or to one (1) or more agents or advisors such administrative duties or powers as it may deem advisable, and the Committee or any
individuals to whom it has delegated duties or powers as aforesaid may employ one (1) or more individuals to render advice with respect to any responsibility the Committee or such individuals may have under this Plan. 

3.4 Claims and Appeals. Any Participant, Eligible Executive, or other person (a “claimant”) who believes he/she
has a right to severance benefits under the Plan that have not been paid shall file a claim for such benefits, in writing, in accordance with procedures specified by the Committee or its delegates. All claims for benefits shall initially be reviewed
by the Company’s Human Resources Department. If the Human Resources Department denies the claim, in whole or in part, it shall provide the claimant with a written notice of denial. Such notice shall be provided not more than ninety
(90) days after the claim is filed, which period may be extended by up to an additional ninety (90) days if the claimant is notified of the extension, including the reason for the extension and the date by which the claim may be expected
to be resolved, prior to the end of the 

  
 7 

 
initial ninety (90) day period. The notice of denial shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, and shall include (i) the specific reasons for such
denial; (ii) the specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based; (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such
material or information is necessary; and (iv) an explanation of the Plan’s claim review procedure (including a statement of the claimant’s right to bring an civil action under Section 502 of ERISA in the event of an adverse
decision on review). 
 Within sixty (60) days after receiving a notice of a denial of his/her claim, a claimant may
request in writing a review of such denial by the Committee. Upon receipt of a request, the Committee shall conduct a full and fair review of the claim denial at its next meeting scheduled to be held at least thirty (30) days after the request
is received, provided that in special circumstances the Committee may defer reviewing the denial until not later than its third (3rd) meeting after the request for review is received, provided that it notifies the claimant of the reason for the
extension not later than the date of the meeting at which it would otherwise be required to review the denial. Not more than five (5) days after the meeting at which it concludes its review, the Committee shall cause the claimant to be provided
with a written notice of the Committee’s decision, which notice shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, and if the Committee confirms the denial in whole or in part, shall include (i) the specific reasons
for such denial; (ii) the specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based; and (iii) a statement of the claimant’s right to bring an civil action under Section 502 of ERISA. 

The provisions of this Section 3.4 are intended to comply in all respects with the requirements of Department of Labor Regulations
29 C.F.R. §2560.503-1, and shall be so construed and administered. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each claimant shall be entitled upon written request to all information that is relevant to his/her claim within the meaning of
§2560.503-1(m)(8) and to be represented by a qualified representative who need not be an attorney, and if at the time a request for review is received the Committee, or any fiduciary to which the Committee has delegated its authority to review
claims, is not holding regularly scheduled meetings at least quarterly, the time for notifying the claimant of the decision on review shall be determined in accordance with §2560.503-1(i)(1)(i). 

No action at law or in equity shall be brought to recover benefits under this Plan unless the claimant has filed a written claim for the
benefits not more than one (1) year after the claimant first knows, or with the exercise of reasonable diligence would know, of the basis for the claim, has filed a timely request for review of the claim denial, and has filed such action no
later than ninety (90) days after receipt of the notice that the claim denial has been upheld upon review. 
 Article 4.
Participation and Eligibility for Benefits 
 4.1 Participation. Participation in the Plan shall be limited to those
Eligible Executives who are designated as Participants by the Committee, or by its delegate, and who execute a Restrictive Covenant in a form required by the Company or its Affiliates. A Restrictive Covenant may either be an agreement entered into
by the Participant in connection with participation in this Plan or in another Foster Wheeler -provided benefit plan or program, or may be an agreement previously entered into by the Participant and approved by the Committee, provided that the
Participant acknowledges in writing that such agreement constitutes a Restrictive Covenant for purposes of the Plan in such form as the Committee may require. In no event shall any person, whether or not an Eligible Executive, be considered a
Participant or have any rights under this Plan unless and until he/she has entered into a Restrictive Covenant. 

  
 8 

 4.2 Eligibility for Benefits. A Participant shall be eligible for severance benefits
under this Plan if and only if (a) the Participant’s employment is terminated by reason of a Qualifying Termination during the term of the Plan, and (b) the Participant executes, and does not revoke, a Release that constitutes a
release and waiver of, and covenant not to sue on, all claims of any type, known or unknown, which the Participant may have against Foster Wheeler, and its and their officers, directors, employees and agents, existing as of the date of execution of
the Release and arising out of or in any way relating to the Participant’s employment by, and termination of employment with, the Company or any Affiliate, excepting only claims for payment of benefits pursuant to this Plan, any right to
indemnification, and claims that by law may not be waived. For Participants whose severance benefits are subject to Section 409A of the Code, payment of any amounts or benefits under the Plan is expressly conditioned upon the Participant
executing and delivering the Release in sufficient time so that the revocation period provided therein expires on or before the sixtieth (60th) day after the Termination Date, and no benefits shall be payable until the revocation period shall
have expired; provided, however, that if the sixtieth (60th) day after the Termination Date occurs in the calendar year after the year that includes the Termination Date, no Plan benefits that are subject to Section 409A of the Code shall
be paid earlier than the first (1st) day of the calendar year following the year that includes the Termination Date. For all other Participants, payment of any amounts or benefits under the Plan is expressly conditioned upon the Participant
executing and delivering the Release in accordance with terms satisfactory to the Committee and the requirements of Applicable Laws. 
 4.3 Mitigation and Offset. No Participant shall be required to actively seek other employment, or otherwise to mitigate damages, as a condition to receipt of severance benefits to which the
Participant is otherwise entitled under the Plan, and benefits shall not be offset by amounts received by the Participant from unemployment insurance or from other employment during the Severance Period (as defined below) (except to the extent that
a Participant’s right to continued health coverage is terminated by reason of obtaining other coverage). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant is employed in a jurisdiction that requires the payment of “statutory pay” or any
other comparable form of mandatory separation or severance pay, or is subsequently determined to be entitled to severance pay or benefits under any other agreement with, or policy or plan of, the Company or any Affiliate (in either case,
“other benefits”), the benefits provided under this Plan shall be offset by such other benefits, in such a manner that, to the maximum extent possible, the total amount of other benefits and benefits under this Plan received in any
period is the same as the benefits the Participant would receive from this Plan if the Participant were not entitled to such other benefits. If, however, severance benefits under the Plan are totally (or significantly) offset by other benefits, the
Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide the Eligible Executive with additional severance benefits as consideration for the Release provided the Eligible Executive executes and does not later revoke the Release. 

4.4 Certain Restrictions on Payment and Repayment. Anything else contained in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding:

  

	 	(a)	If a Participant’s employment is terminated by reason of a Qualifying Termination, but the Committee discovers after such termination that circumstances existed at
the time of termination that would have justified the Participant’s termination for Cause, all further severance benefits under the Plan shall be immediately forfeited, and the Company may require the Participant to repay any severance benefits
previously received. 

  
 9 

	 	(b)	If a Participant violates any provision of the Participant’s Restrictive Covenant, all further severance benefits under the Plan shall be immediately forfeited,
and the Company may require the Participant to repay any severance benefits previously received. To the maximum extent permitted by ERISA, or other Applicable Law to the extent not pre-empted by ERISA, severance benefits under this Plan shall be
forfeited by reason of a violation of a Restrictive Covenant notwithstanding whether the Restrictive Covenant would otherwise be considered void or unenforceable for any other purpose. 

 

	 	(c)	Severance benefits under this Plan may be subject to repayment pursuant to any clawback or other mandatory repayment policy adopted by the Company, including without
limitation any such policy adopted pursuant to either Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any such policy shall, to the extent determined by the
Committee, be deemed incorporated into any Participant’s entitlement to any amounts or benefits hereunder. 

  

	 	(d)	If the Participant is rehired by the Company or any Affiliate before all severance benefits have been paid, all remaining benefits shall be forfeited, and benefits to
which the Participant may be entitled, if any, upon a subsequent termination shall be based solely upon the terms of any severance plan or agreement applicable to the Participant at such time. 

Article 5. Severance Benefits 
 5.1 Severance Benefits Provided in All Cases. Each Participant shall be entitled to the following benefits upon a termination of employment for any reason, whether or not a Qualifying Termination.
The benefits described in this Section 5.1 are listed for purposes of completeness, but are not otherwise considered severance benefits subject to the limitations of this Plan, and the Participant shall not be obligated to execute a Release in
order to receive such benefits: 
  

	 	(a)	Base Pay earned through the Termination Date; 

  

	 	(b)	the balance of any awarded (i.e., the amount and payment of the specific award has been fully approved, including, where applicable, by the Committee), but as yet
unpaid, STI or other incentive awards for any calendar year prior to the calendar year during which the Termination Date occurs; provided, however, if the Eligible Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company or an Affiliate for Cause,
such STI or incentive award, even if awarded, shall be immediately forfeited if permitted under the law of the State of New Jersey; 

  

	 	(c)	all other vested, not forfeited, amounts and benefits to which the Participant may be entitled (except any amounts or benefits under a severance or separation pay plan
or policy maintained by the Company or any Affiliate) under the terms of any applicable compensation arrangement or benefit plan or program sponsored by the Company or an Affiliate; and 

 

	 	(d)	a payment representing the Participant’s accrued but unused annual leave in accordance with the rules of the Company’s or Affiliate’s, as applicable,
leave policy in operation on the Termination Date. 

  
 10

Period. Subject to the provisions of this Plan, a Participant whose employment is terminated by reason of a Qualifying Termination that does not occur during a Change in Control Period shall receive: 

 

	 	(a)	the Participant’s Base Pay immediately prior to the Termination Date (but disregarding any decrease in Base Pay that constituted the basis for Resignation for Good
Reason), for a period of two (2) years in the case of the CEO and one (1) year in the case of any other Participant (in either case, the “Severance Period”), paid in substantially equal installments at the same intervals
at which senior executives are paid over a number of years equal to the Severance Period commencing on the first (1st) payroll date after the date specified in Section 4.2, with each installment constituting a separate payment for purposes
of Section 409A of the Code; 

  

	 	(b)	an amount equal to the Participant’s STI for the year that includes the Termination Date (but disregarding any decrease in target STI that constituted the basis
for Resignation for Good Reason), based upon the actual performance results for such year, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such year through and including the Termination Date and the denominator of which is
the number of days in such year, paid at the same time STI awards are paid to active employees for such year. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) such award is subject to the Company’s absolute discretion, and the Participant shall not have
any enforceable right to any award, payout, or incentive pursuant to the STI for the year that includes the Termination Date, and (ii) if the terms of the STI in effect for the year that includes the Termination Date provides for payment to the
Participant of a portion of his/her STI for such year, the Participant shall be paid only once, which shall satisfy this subsection (b) and the STI then in effect; 

 

	 	(c)	 an amount equal to the Participant’s target STI for the year that includes the Termination Date (but disregarding any decrease in target STI that
constituted the basis for Resignation for Good Reason), paid on the first (1st) anniversary of the Termination Date; 

  

	 	(d)	 for the CEO only, an additional amount equal to the amount described in Section 5.2(c), paid on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Termination Date;

  

	 	(e)	continuation of all medical, dental and vision benefits applicable to the Participant (including for all purposes hereof the Participant’s eligible dependents) at
the Termination Date during the Severance Period, which coverage shall constitute the continuation coverage to which the Participant is entitled under Section 4980A of the Code, or any other comparable law (“COBRA”), and shall
be subject to all rules applicable to COBRA coverage. The Company shall reimburse the Participant for the difference between the premium normally charged under COBRA and the premium paid by active employees. At the end of the Severance Period, a
Participant who is not the CEO shall be eligible for continued COBRA coverage in accordance with the terms of COBRA and the health care plans, including the full monthly premium required by the plans; 

  
 11 

	 	(f)	with respect to any awards made pursuant to the Foster Wheeler AG Omnibus Incentive Plan and any successor plan thereto (the “Omnibus Plan”), the
Omnibus Plan will govern vesting, exercise periods, and payments due under such plan and award agreements; and 

  

	 	(g)	senior executive level career transition assistance paid directly by the Company to a firm selected and approved by the Company for a period not to exceed the end of
the second (2nd) year after the year that includes that Termination Date, and up to a maximum of fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000); provided that no cash payment will be paid in lieu if the Participant chooses not to make use of career
transition assistance; and provided further that if the Participant utilizes a firm located outside the United States, the maximum amount of fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) will be converted to the appropriate currency using the exchange rate on
the Termination Date. 

 5.3 Benefits Provided on a Qualifying Termination During a Change in Control
Period. Subject to the provisions of this Plan, a Participant whose employment is terminated by reason of a Qualifying Termination that occurs during a Change in Control Period shall receive, without duplication, the following: 

 

	 	(a)	the Participant’s Base Pay immediately prior to the Termination Date (but disregarding any decrease in Base Pay that constituted the basis for Resignation for Good
Reason During a Change in Control Period), for a period of two (2) years (the “Change in Control Severance Period”); 

  

	 	(b)	an amount equal to the Participant’s STI for the year that includes the Termination Date (but disregarding any decrease in target STI that constituted the basis
for Resignation for Good Reason During a Change in Control Period), based upon the Participant’s target for such year, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such year through and including the Termination
Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such year. If the terms of the STI in effect for the year that includes the Termination Date provides for payment to the Participant of a portion of his/her STI for such year, the amount
described in this subsection (b) shall be paid only to the extent it exceeds such payment, with an appropriate adjustment being made to whichever of the payments is made later; 

 

	 	(c)	two (2) times an amount equal to the Participant’s target STI for the year that includes the Termination Date (but disregarding any decrease in target STI
that constituted the basis for Resignation for Good Reason During a Change in Control Period); 

  

	 	(d)	continuation of all medical, dental and vision benefits applicable to the Participant (including for all purposes hereof the Participant’s eligible dependents) at
the Termination Date during the Change in Control Severance Period, which coverage shall constitute the continuation coverage to which the Participant is entitled under COBRA, and shall be subject to all rules applicable to COBRA coverage. The
Company shall reimburse the Participant for the difference between the premium normally charged under COBRA and the premium paid by active employees; 

  
 12

transition assistance; and provided further that if the Participant utilizes a firm located outside the United States, the maximum amount of fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) will be converted to the appropriate currency using the exchange rate on

cash on the sixtieth (60th) day after the Termination Date. 
 5.4 280G Modified Cap. 

 

	 	(a)	Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, if the aggregate amount of the severance benefits under this Plan, and other payments and benefits which the
Participant has the right to receive from the Company (including the value of any equity rights which become vested upon a Change in Control) (the “Total Payments”) would constitute a “parachute payment” as defined in Code
Section 280G(b)(2), the Participant shall receive the Total Payments unless the (a) after-tax amount that would be retained by the Participant (after taking into account all federal, state and local income taxes payable by the Participant
and the amount of any excise taxes payable by the Participant under Code Section 4999 that would be payable by the Participant (the “Excise Taxes”)) if the Participant were to receive the Total Payments has a lesser aggregate
value than (b) the after-tax amount that would be retained by the Participant (after taking into account all federal, state and local income taxes payable by the Participant) if the Participant were to receive the Total Payments reduced to the
largest amount as would result in no portion of the Total Payments being subject to Excise Taxes (the “Reduced Payments”), in which case the Participant shall be entitled only to the Reduced Payments. 

 

	 	(b)	 The determination of whether Section 5.4 applies, and the calculation of the amount of the Reduced Payments, if applicable, shall be performed by
an accounting firm selected by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”). Such reduction shall be accomplished by first reducing all cash payments in the order they would otherwise be paid, and then reducing any equity grant the vesting
of which was accelerated by reason of a change in control (as defined in the applicable award agreements or Omnibus Plan), with equity grants subject to performance-based vesting reduced first, and then equity grants subject to time-based vesting
reduced in the reverse order that they would otherwise have vested, and then to all welfare benefits. The Accounting Firm shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company

  
 13 

	 	
and the Participant within fifteen (15) business days of the receipt of notice from the Participant that there has been a payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. All
fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. 

 Article 6. Miscellaneous

 6.1 Amendment, Modification, Suspension, and Termination. The Committee may, at any time and from time to time,
alter, amend, modify, suspend, or terminate this Plan in whole or in part; provided, however, that, except as necessary to comply with any Applicable Law, no such action shall adversely affect the benefits of a Participant whose Qualifying
Termination occurs either prior to, or within six (6) months after, the date of the Committee’s action. 
 6.2 No
Right to Continued Employment. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant shall be an employee at will, and nothing in this Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of Foster Wheeler to terminate any
Participant’s employment at any time or for any reason not prohibited by law, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue his/her employment for any specified period of time. 

6.3 Payments upon Death. In the event a Participant dies after a Qualifying Termination, any benefits remaining payable shall be
paid in a single lump sum to the representative of the Participant’s estate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may establish procedures allowing a Participant to designate a beneficiary to whom all unpaid benefits will be paid upon
the Participant’s death. 
 6.4 Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given under
this Plan shall be considered validly given if delivered by hand, sent by e-mail, fax or reputable overnight courier (in which event it shall be deemed given on the next business day), or deposited in registered or certified mail, or the equivalent,
with proper first class postage prepaid (in which event it shall be deemed given on the seventh (7th) business day being so deposited), and addressed to the Participant at his/her most recent address shown on the personnel records of the
Company, or to the Company or the Committee at the following address, or to any other address which either party may specify by notice given in the same manner: 
 Foster Wheeler AG 
 c/o Chair of the Compensation and Executive Development
Committee 
 Lindenstrasse 10 6340 Baar, (Canton of Zug), Switzerland 

6.5 Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to
the Company, the amount necessary to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Plan. 

6.6 Successors. This Plan, and all obligations of the Company under this Plan, shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on any
successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, amalgamation, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.

  
 14 

 6.7 Gender and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine
term used herein also shall include the feminine, the plural shall include the singular, and the singular shall include the plural. 
 6.8 Severability. In the event any provision of this Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of this Plan, and this
Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included. 
 6.9 Unfunded Plan.
Participants shall have no right, title, or interest whatsoever in or to any investments that the Company, and/or its Affiliates may make to aid it in meeting its obligations under this Plan. Nothing contained in this Plan, and no action taken
pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant, beneficiary, legal representative, or any other individual. To the extent that any
individual acquires a right to receive payments from the Company, and/or its Affiliates under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company, or an Affiliate, as the case may be. All payments
to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company, or an Affiliate, as the case may be and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts except as
expressly set forth in this Plan. 
 6.10 Section 409A. It is the Company’s intent that any benefits payable
under this Plan be structured to be exempt from Code Section 409A, including all Treasury Regulations and other guidance issuance pursuant thereto (“Section 409A”) or to comply with the requirements of deferred compensation
subject to Section 409A, and to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Plan shall be so administered and construed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following provisions shall apply to the extent necessary to
comply with Section 409A: 
  

	 	(a)	If any benefits subject to Section 409A become payable by reason of a Participant’s Qualifying Termination, and such Participant incurs a Qualifying
Termination as set forth in the Plan that is not a “separation from service,” as defined by Section 409A, then the Participant’s right to such payment shall be fully vested on the date of the Qualifying Termination, but payment
shall be deferred until the earliest of (i) the date the Participant incurs such a separation from service (or six months (6) thereafter if and to the extent required by Section 6.10(b)), (ii) the date that a “change in
control event” as defined in Section 409A occurs with respect to the Participant, or (iii) the Participant’s death. 

  

	 	(b)	No benefits subject to Section 409A that become payable by reason of a Participant’s separation from service will be made to a Participant who is a
“specified employee” (as defined by Section 409A) until the earlier of: (i) the first (1st) day of the seventh (7th) month following the month that includes Participant’s separation from service, or (ii) the
Participant’s date of death, and any amounts that would otherwise have been paid prior to such date shall be paid, without interest, in a lump sum on such date. 

 

	 	(c)	To the extent that any benefits that constitute a reimbursement of expenses, or payment of benefits in kind, are subject to Section 409A, no cash payment or other
amount may be paid in lieu of such benefit, and any reimbursement must be paid not later than the last day of the year following the year in which the expense is incurred. 

  
 15 

	 	(d)	Notwithstanding the Company’s intentions as set forth above, either the Company, any Affiliate, any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents,
or 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. 

 6.11 Commencement of Severance Benefits. For a Qualifying Termination, severance benefits may be paid to a Participant in accordance with the Plan without any further action of the Committee.

 6.12 Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by the laws of the state of New Jersey, to the extent not pre-empted by
ERISA and/or the Code, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Plan to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. Unless otherwise provided in the Award
Agreement, recipients of an Award under this Plan are deemed to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts of New Jersey, to resolve any and all issues that may arise out of or relate to this Plan or any related
Award Agreement. 
 6.13 Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance. Each Participant will receive coverage
under the Company’s Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance Policy for a period of thirty-six (36) months following the Termination Date. 
 6.14 Cooperation. During the Severance Period, the Participant shall (a) be reasonably available to the Company to respond to requests by them for information pertaining to or relating to
matters which may be within the knowledge of the Participant and (b) cooperate with the Company in connection with any existing or future litigation or other proceedings brought by or against the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates, to the
extent the Company deems the Participant’s cooperation reasonably necessary. 
 6.15 Participant Indemnification.
Each Participant will be indemnified and held harmless by the Company and its Affiliates to the extent such Participant was indemnified and held harmless as an active employee under Applicable Laws and the Company’s Organizational Regulations
for the Participant’s lawful activities. 
 6.16 Indemnification. Subject to requirements of New Jersey law, each
individual who is or shall have been a member of the Board, or a Committee appointed by the Board, or an officer of the Company to whom authority was delegated in accordance with Article 3, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company
against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him/her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he/she may be a party or in which he/she may be
involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under this Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him/her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him/her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such
action, suit, or proceeding against him/her, provided he/she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he/she undertakes to handle and defend it on his/her own behalf, unless such loss, cost,
liability, or expense is a result of his/her own willful misconduct or except as expressly provided by statute. 
 The foregoing
right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such individuals may be entitled under the Company’s Articles of Association and its Organizational Regulations, as a matter of law, or otherwise,
or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.
