                                CHANGE OF CONTROL
                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         AGREEMENT by and between Foster Wheeler Inc., (the "Company") and an
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Foster Wheeler Ltd., a Bermuda company
("Parent"), and Brian K. Ferraioli (the "Executive"), effective as of the 1st of
December 2003.

         WHEREAS the Board of Directors of Parent (the "Board"), has determined
that it is in the best interests of Parent and its shareholders and
subsidiaries, including the Company, to assure that Parent and the Company will
have the continued dedication of the Executive, notwithstanding the possibility,
threat or occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined below). The Board
believes it is imperative to diminish the inevitable distraction of the
Executive by virtue of the personal uncertainties and risks created by a pending
or threatened Change of Control and to encourage the Executive's full attention
and dedication to the Company currently and in the event of any threatened or
pending Change of Control, and to provide the Executive with compensation and
benefits arrangements upon a Change of Control which ensure that the
compensation and benefits expectations of the Executive will be satisfied and
which are competitive with those of other corporations. Therefore, in order to
accomplish these objectives, the Board has caused the Company to enter into this
Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

         1. Certain Definitions.

              (a) "Effective Date" shall mean the first date during the Change
of Control Period (as defined in Section 1(b)) on which a Change of Control (as
defined in Section 2) occurs. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, if a Change of Control occurs and if the Executive's employment
with the Company is terminated prior to the date on which the Change of Control
occurs, and if it is reasonably demonstrated by the Executive that such
termination of employment (i) was at the request of a third party who has taken
steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change of Control or (ii) otherwise
arose in connection with or anticipation of a Change of Control, then for all
purposes of this Agreement the "Effective Date" shall mean the date immediately
prior to the date of such termination of employment.

              (b) The "Change of Control Period" shall mean the period
commencing on the date hereof and ending on the third anniversary of the date
hereof; provided, however, that commencing on the date one year after the date
hereof, and on each annual anniversary of such date (such date and each annual
anniversary thereof shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Renewal Date"),
unless previously terminated, the Change of Control Period shall be
automatically extended so as to terminate three years from such Renewal Date,
unless at least 60 days prior to the Renewal Date the Company shall give notice
to the Executive that the Change of Control Period shall not be so extended.

              (c) "Affiliated Company" means any company, directly or
indirectly, controlled by, controlling or under common control with Parent.

         2. Change of Control. For the purpose of this Agreement, a "Change of
Control" shall mean:

              (a) The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the
meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange Act")) (a "Person") of beneficial ownership (within
the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of voting
securities of Parent where such acquisition causes such Person to own 20% or
more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of
Parent entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the "Outstanding
Parent Voting Securities"), provided, however, that for purposes of this
subsection (a), the following acquisitions shall not be deemed to result in a
Change of Control: (i) any acquisition directly from Parent or any corporation
or other legal entity controlled, directly or indirectly, by Parent, (ii) any
acquisition by Parent or any corporation or other legal entity controlled,
directly or indirectly, by Parent, (iii) any acquisition by any employee benefit
plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by Parent or any corporation or
other legal entity controlled, directly or indirectly, by Parent or (iv) any
acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a transaction that complies with
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of subsection (c) below; and provided, further, that
if any Person's beneficial ownership of the Outstanding Parent Voting Securities
reaches or exceeds 20% as a result of a transaction described in clause (i) or
(ii) above, and such Person subsequently acquires beneficial ownership of
additional voting securities of Parent, such subsequent acquisition shall be
treated as an acquisition that causes such Person to own 20% or more of the
Outstanding Parent Voting Securities; or

              (b) Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board
(such individuals, the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at
least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a
director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for
election by Parent's shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority
of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as
though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for
this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a
result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election
or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or
consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or

              (c) The approval by the shareholders of Parent of a
reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of Parent ("Business Combination") or, if
consummation of such Business Combination is subject, at the time of such
approval by shareholders, to the consent of any government or governmental
agency, the obtaining of such consent (either explicitly or implicitly by
consummation); excluding, however, such a Business Combination pursuant to which
(i) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the
beneficial owners of the Outstanding Parent Voting Securities immediately prior
to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than
60% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the
combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation
resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a
corporation that as a result of such transaction owns Parent or all or
substantially all of Parent's assets either directly or through one or more
subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership,
immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Parent Voting
Securities, (ii) no Person (excluding any (x) corporation owned, directly or
indirectly, by the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Parent Voting Securities
as described in clause (i) immediately preceding or (y) employee benefit plan
(or related trust) of Parent or such corporation resulting from such Business
Combination, or any of their respective subsidiaries) beneficially owns,
directly or indirectly, 20% or more of, respectively, the then outstanding
shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Business
Combination or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting
securities of such corporation except to the extent that such ownership existed
prior to the Business Combination and (iii) at least a majority of the members
of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business
Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of
the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such
Business Combination; or

                                       2
<PAGE>

              (d) approval by the shareholders of Parent of a complete
liquidation or dissolution of Parent.

         For the avoidance of doubt, neither the approval nor the consummation
of the merger of Foster Wheeler Corporation ("FWC") with and into Foster Wheeler
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of Parent (whereby each outstanding share of common stock of FWC
(other than those shares held by FWC or any direct or indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of FWC) was converted into one common share of Parent), or any
restructuring transactions contemplated by or related to such merger, shall be
deemed to constitute or result in, directly or indirectly, a Change of Control,
for purposes of this Agreement.

         3. Employment Period. The Company hereby agrees to continue the
Executive in its employ, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the third
anniversary of the Effective Date (the "Employment Period"). The Employment
Period shall terminate upon the Executive's termination of employment for any
reason.

         4. Terms of Employment.

              (a) Position and Duties.

                     (i) During the Employment Period, (A) the Executive's
position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements),
authority, duties and responsibilities shall be at least commensurate in all
material respects with the most significant of those held, exercised and
assigned at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the
Effective Date and (B) the Executive's services shall be performed at the office
where the Executive was employed immediately preceding the Effective Date or at
any other location less than 35 miles from such office.

                     (ii) During the Employment Period, and excluding any
periods of vacation and sick leave to which the Executive is entitled, the
Executive agrees to devote reasonable attention and time during normal business
hours to the business and affairs of the Company and, to the extent necessary to
discharge the responsibilities assigned to the Executive hereunder, to use the
Executive's reasonable best efforts to perform faithfully and efficiently such
responsibilities. During the Employment Period it shall not be a violation of
this Agreement for the Executive to (A) serve on corporate, civic or charitable
boards or committees, (B) deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements or
teach at educational institutions and (C) manage personal investments, so long
as such activities do not significantly interfere with the performance of the
Executive's responsibilities as an employee of the Company in accordance with
this Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the extent that
any such activities have been conducted by the Executive prior to the Effective
Date, the continued conduct of such activities (or the conduct of activities
similar in nature and scope thereto) subsequent to the Effective Date shall not
thereafter he deemed to interfere with the performance of the Executive's
responsibilities to the Company.

                                       3

              (b) Compensation.

                     (i) Base Salary. During the Employment Period, the
Executive shall receive an annual base salary ("Annual Base Salary"), at an
annual rate, at least equal to twelve times the highest monthly base salary paid
or payable, including any base salary which has been earned but deferred, to the
Executive by the Company and the Affiliated Companies in respect of the
twelve-month period immediately preceding the month in which the Effective Date
occurs. The Annual Base Salary shall be paid at such intervals as the Company
pays executive salaries generally. During the Employment Period, the Annual Base
Salary shall be reviewed at least annually, beginning no more than 12 months
after the last salary increase awarded to the Executive prior to the Effective
Date. Any increase in Annual Base Salary shall not serve to limit or reduce any
other obligation to the Executive under this Agreement. Annual Base Salary shall
not be reduced after any such increase and the term "Annual Base Salary" shall
refer to Annual Base Salary as so increased.

                     (ii) Bonus. In addition to Annual Base Salary, but subject
to Section 4(b)(ix) below, the Executive shall be awarded, for each fiscal year
ending during the Employment Period, an annual bonus (the "Annual Bonus") in
cash at least equal to the Executive's highest Annual Incentive Award under the
Foster Wheeler Annual Incentive Plan for 2002 and Subsequent Years, or any
comparable bonus under any successor plan, including any bonus or portion
thereof that has been earned but deferred, for the last three full fiscal years
prior to the Effective Date (or for such lesser number of full fiscal years
prior to the Effective Date for which the Executive was eligible to earn such a
bonus, and annualized in the event that the Executive was not employed by the
Company for the whole of such fiscal year) (the "Recent Annual Bonus"). Each
such Annual Bonus shall be paid no later than the end of the third month of the
fiscal year next following the fiscal year for which the Annual Bonus is
awarded, unless the Executive shall elect to defer the receipt of such Annual
Bonus.

                     (iii) Incentive, Savings and Retirement Plans. During the
Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all cash
incentive, equity incentive, savings and retirement plans (excluding the
Company's current supplemental employee retirement plan, known as the Foster
Wheeler Corporation Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan, or any successor or
replacement plan), practices, policies and programs applicable generally to
other peer executives of the Company and the Affiliated Companies, but in no
event shall such plans, practices, policies and programs (taken together with
the bonus payable under Section 4(b)(ii)) provide the Executive with incentive
opportunities (measured with respect to both regular and special incentive
opportunities, to the extent, if any, that such distinction is applicable),
savings opportunities and retirement benefit opportunities, in each case, less
favorable, in the aggregate, than the most favorable of those provided by the
Company and the Affiliated Companies for the Executive under such plans,
practices, policies and programs as in effect at any time during the 120-day
period immediately preceding the Effective Date or if more favorable to the
Executive, those provided generally at any time after the Effective Date to
other peer executives of the Company and the Affiliated Companies.

                     (iv) Welfare Benefit Plans. During the Employment Period,
the Executive and/or the Executive's family, as the case may be, shall be
eligible for participation in and shall receive all benefits under welfare
benefit plans, practices, policies and programs provided by the Company and the
Affiliated Companies (including, without limitation, medical, prescription,
dental, disability, salary continuance, employee life, group life, accidental
death and travel accident insurance plans and programs) to the extent applicable
generally to other peer executives of the Company and the Affiliated Companies,
but in no event shall such plans, practices, policies and programs provide the
Executive with benefits which are less favorable, in the aggregate, than the
most favorable of such plans, practices, policies and programs in effect for the
Executive at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the
Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, those provided generally
at any time after the Effective Date to other peer executives of the Company and
the Affiliated Companies.

                     (v) Expenses. During the Employment Period, the Executive
shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable expenses
incurred by the Executive in accordance with the most favorable policies,
practices and procedures of the Company and the Affiliated Companies in effect
for the Executive at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding
the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect
generally at any time thereafter with respect to other peer executives of the
Company and the Affiliated Companies.

                     (vi) Fringe Benefits. During the Employment Period, the
Executive shall be entitled to perquisites and fringe benefits, including,
without limitation, tax, financial and estate planning services, payment of club
dues, use of an automobile and payment of related expenses, facsimile machine,
annual physical exam, and relocation assistance, in accordance with the most
favorable plans, practices, programs and policies of the Company and the
Affiliated Companies in effect for the Executive at any time during the 120-day
period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the
Executive, as in effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to other
peer executives of the Company and the Affiliated Companies.

                     (vii) Office and Support Staff. During the Employment
Period, the Executive shall be entitled to an office or offices of a size and
with furnishings and other appointments, and to exclusive personal secretarial
and other assistance, at least equal to the most favorable of the foregoing
provided to the Executive by the Company and the Affiliated Companies at any
time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if
more favorable to the Executive, as provided generally at any time thereafter
with respect to other peer executives of the Company and the Affiliated
Companies.

                     (viii) Vacation. During the Employment Period, the
Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation in accordance with the most
favorable plans, policies, programs and practices of the Company and the
Affiliated Companies as in effect for the Executive at any time during the
120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to
the Executive, as in effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to
other peer executives of the Company and the Affiliated Companies.

                     (ix) As soon as practicable following the Effective Date,
the Executive shall receive an immediate payment in cash of the Executive's
Annual Incentive Award under the foster Wheeler Annual Incentive Plan for 2002
and Subsequent Years for the year in which the Change of Control takes place
equal to the Annual Incentive Award the Executive received (if any) for the
calendar year immediately preceding the year in which the Change of Control took
place. If it is determined, after the end of such year, that the Annual
Incentive Award (or other bonus) that is actually earned for such year exceeds
the amount paid pursuant to the preceding sentence, the excess shall be paid to
such participant in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

         5. Termination of Employment.

              (a) Death or Disability. The Executive's employment shall
terminate automatically if the Executive dies during the Employment Period. If
the Company determines in good faith that the Disability (as defined herein) of
the Executive has occurred during the Employment Period (pursuant to the
definition of "Disability"), it may give to the Executive written notice in
accordance with Section 12(b) of its intention to terminate the Executive's
employment. In such event, the Executive's employment with the Company shall
terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such notice by the
Executive (the "Disability Effective Date"), provided that, within the 30 days
after such receipt, the Executive shall not have returned to full-time
performance of the Executive's duties. For purposes of this Agreement,
"Disability" shall mean the absence of the Executive from the Executive's duties
with the Company on a full-time basis for 180 consecutive business days as a
result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness which is determined to be
total and permanent by a physician selected by the Company or its insurers and
acceptable to the Executive or the Executive's legal representative.

              (b) Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive's employment
during the Employment Period for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause"
shall mean:

                  (i) the willful and continued failure of the Executive to
         perform substantially the Executive's duties (as contemplated by
         Section 4(a)(1)(A)) with the Company or any Affiliated Company (other
         than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or
         mental illness or following the Executive's delivery of a Notice of
         Termination for Good Reason), after a written demand for substantial
         performance is delivered to the Executive by the Board or the Chief
         Executive Officer of the Company which specifically identifies the
         manner in which the Board or Chief Executive Officer of the Company
         believes that the Executive has not substantially performed the
         Executive's duties, or

                                       6
<PAGE>

                  (ii) the willful engaging by the Executive in illegal conduct
         or gross misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to
         the Company.

For purposes of this provision, no act or failure to act, on the part of the
Executive, shall be considered "willful" unless it is done, or omitted to be
done, by the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the
Executive's action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any
act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly
adopted by the Board or upon the instructions of the Chief Executive Officer of
the Company or a senior officer of the Company or based upon the advice of
counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to
be done, by the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the
Company. The cessation of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed to be
for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a
copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than
three-quarters of the entire membership of the Board (excluding the Executive,
if the Executive is a member of the Board) at a meeting of the Board called and
held for such purpose (after reasonable notice is provided to the Executive and
the Executive is given an opportunity, together with counsel for the Executive,
to be heard before the Board), finding that, in the good faith opinion of the
Board, the Executive is guilty of the conduct described in Section 4(b)(i) or
4(b)(ii), and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

              (c) Good Reason. The Executive's employment may be terminated by
the Executive for Good Reason or by the Executive voluntarily without Good
Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean:

                  (i) the assignment to the Executive of any duties inconsistent
         in any respect with the Executive's position (including status,
         offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or
         responsibilities as contemplated by Section 4(a), or any other
         diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities
         (whether or not occurring solely as a result of Parent's ceasing to be
         a publicly traded entity), excluding for this purpose an isolated,
         insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which
         is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof
         given by the Executive;

                  (ii) any failure by the Company to comply with any of the
         provisions of Section 4(b), other than an isolated, insubstantial and
         inadvertent failure not occurring in bad faith and which is remedied by
         the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the
         Executive;

                  (iii) the Company's requiring the Executive (A) to be based at
         any office or location other than as provided in Section 4(a)(i)(B),
         (B) to be based at a location other than the principal executive
         offices of the Company if the Executive was employed at such location
         immediately preceding the Effective Date, or (C) to travel on Company
         business to a substantially greater extent than required immediately
         prior to the Effective Date;

                  (iv) any purported termination by the Company of the
         Executive's employment otherwise than as expressly permitted by this
         Agreement; or

                                       7
<PAGE>

                  (v) any failure by the Company to comply with and satisfy
         Section 11(c).

For purposes of this Section 5(c), any good faith determination of Good Reason
made by the Executive shall be conclusive. Anything in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, a termination by the Executive for any reason pursuant
to a Notice of Termination given during the 30-day period immediately following
the first anniversary of the Effective Date shall be deemed to be a termination
for Good Reason for all purposes of this Agreement. The Executive's mental or
physical incapacity following the occurrence of an event described above in
clauses (i) through (v) shall not affect the Executive's ability to terminate
employment for Good Reason.

              (d) Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company for
Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, shall be communicated by Notice of
Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 12(b).
For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" means a written notice
which (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied
upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts
and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's
employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) if the Date of Termination
(as defined below) is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies
the Date of Termination (which Date of Termination shall be not more than thirty
days after the giving of such notice). The failure by the Executive or the
Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which
contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of
the Executive or the Company, respectively, hereunder or preclude the Executive
or the Company, respectively, from asserting such fact or circumstance in
enforcing the Executive's or the Company's respective rights hereunder.

              (e) Date of Termination. "Date of Termination" means (i) if the
Executive's employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or by the
Executive for Good Reason, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or
any later date specified in the Notice of Termination (which date shall not be
more than thirty days after the giving of such notice), as the case may be, (ii)
if the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause
or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the Company
notifies the Executive of such termination and (iii) if the Executive's
employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, the Date of
Termination shall be the date of death of the Executive or the Disability
Effective Date, as the case may be.

         6. Obligations of the Company upon Termination.

              (a) Good Reason; Other Than for Cause, Death or Disability. If,
during the Employment Period, the Company terminates the Executive's employment
other than for Cause or Disability or the Executive terminates employment for
Good Reason:

                  (i) the Company shall pay to the Executive in a lump sum in
         cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination the aggregate of the
         following amounts:

                                       8
<PAGE>

                           (A) the sum of (1) the Executive's Annual Base Salary
                  through the Date of Termination to the extent not theretofore
                  paid, (2) the product of (x) the higher of (I) the Recent
                  Annual Bonus or (II) the Annual Bonus paid or payable,
                  including any bonus or portion thereof which has been earned
                  but deferred (and annualized for any fiscal year consisting of
                  less than twelve full months or during which the Executive was
                  employed for less than twelve full months), for the most
                  recently completed fiscal year during the Employment Period,
                  if any (such higher amount being referred to as the "Highest
                  Annual Bonus") and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is
                  the number of days in the current fiscal year through the Date
                  of Termination, and the denominator of which is 365 and (3)
                  any compensation previously deferred by the Executive
                  (together with any accrued interest or earnings thereon) and
                  any accrued vacation pay, in each case, to the extent not
                  theretofore paid (the sum of the amounts described in
                  subclauses (1), (2) and (3), (the "Accrued Obligations");

                           (B) the amount equal to the product of (1) three and
                  (2) the sum of (x) the Executive's Annual Base Salary and (y)
                  the Highest Annual Bonus;

                           (C) an amount equal to the excess of (a) the
                  actuarial equivalent of the benefit under the Company's
                  qualified defined benefit retirement plan (the "Retirement
                  Plan") (utilizing actuarial assumptions no less favorable to
                  the Executive than those in effect under the Retirement Plan
                  immediately prior to the Effective Date) which the Executive
                  would receive if the Executive's employment continued for
                  three years after the Date of Termination assuming for this
                  purpose that all accrued benefits are fully vested, and,
                  assuming that the Executive's compensation in each of the
                  three years is that required by Sections 4(b)(i) and 4(b)(ii),
                  over (b) the actuarial equivalent of the Executive's actual
                  benefit (paid or payable), if any, under the Retirement Plan
                  as of the Date of Termination plus amounts, if any, that the
                  Executive would have contributed under the Retirement Plan
                  during such three-year period; and

                           (D) payment for any shares of restricted common
                  shares issued under the Company's, Parent's or an Affiliated
                  Company's Management and Sales Incentive Plan or any other
                  plan (whether or not vested), to the extent such shares are
                  tendered to the Company, Parent or an Affiliated Company, as
                  applicable, by the Executive within 20 days after the Date of
                  Termination, at a price per share equal to the highest of (i)
                  the market price on the New York Stock Exchange of a common
                  share of Parent at the close of business on the date of such
                  tender, (ii) the highest price paid for a common share of
                  Parent in any Change of Control transaction occurring on or
                  after the Effective Date, or (iii) the market price on the New
                  York Stock Exchange of a common share of Parent at the close
                  of business on the date of any such Change of Control
                  transaction;

                                       9
<PAGE>

                  (ii) for five years after the Executive's Date of Termination,
         or such longer period as may be provided by the terms of the
         appropriate plan, program, practice or policy, the Company shall
         continue benefits to the Executive and/or the Executive's family at
         least equal to those which would have been provided to them in
         accordance with the plans, programs, practices and policies described
         in Section 4(b)(iv) of this Agreement if the Executive's employment had
         not been terminated or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in
         effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to other peer
         executives of the Company and the Affiliated Companies and their
         families, provided, however, that if the Executive becomes reemployed
         with another employer and is eligible to receive medical or other
         welfare benefits under another employer provided plan, the medical and
         other welfare benefits described herein shall be secondary to those
         provided under such other plan during such applicable period of
         eligibility. For purposes of determining eligibility (but not the time
         of commencement of benefits) of the Executive for retiree benefits
         pursuant to such plans, practices, programs and policies, the Executive
         shall be considered to have remained employed until the fifth
         anniversary of the Date of Termination and to have retired on such
         fifth anniversary;

                  (iii) the Company shall, at its sole expense as incurred,
         provide the Executive with outplacement services the scope and provider
         of which shall be selected by the Executive in the Executive's sole
         discretion; and

                  (iv) to the extent not theretofore paid or provided, the
         Company shall timely pay or provide to the Executive any other amounts
         or benefits required to be paid or provided or which the Executive is
         eligible to receive under any plan, program, policy or practice or
         contract or agreement of the Company and the Affiliated Companies (such
         other amounts and benefits shall be hereinafter referred to as the
         "Other Benefits").

              (b) Death. If the Executive's employment is terminated by reason
of the Executive's death during the Employment Period, the Company shall provide
the Executive's estate or beneficiaries with the Accrued Obligations and the
timely payment or delivery of the Other Benefits, and shall have no other
severance obligations under this Agreement. The Accrued Obligations shall be
paid to the Executive's estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in
cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination. With respect to the provision of
Other Benefits, the term "Other Benefits" as utilized in this Section 6(b) shall
include, without limitation, and the Executive's estate and/or beneficiaries
shall be entitled to receive, benefits at least equal to the most favorable
benefits provided by the Company and the Affiliated Companies to the estates and
beneficiaries of peer executives of the Company and the Affiliated Companies
under such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to death benefits,
if any, as in effect with respect to other peer executives and their
beneficiaries at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the
Effective Date or, it more favorable to the Executive's estate and/or the
Executive's beneficiaries, as in effect on the date of the Executive's death
with respect to other peer executives of the Company and the Affiliated
Companies and their beneficiaries.

              (c) Disability. If the Executive's employment is terminated by
reason of the Executive's Disability during the Employment Period, the Company
shall provide the Executive with the Accrued Obligations and the timely payment
or delivery of the Other Benefits, and shall have no other severance obligations
under this Agreement. The Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive in
a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination. With respect to
the provision of Other Benefits, the term "Other Benefits" as utilized in this
Section 6(c) shall include, and the Executive shall be entitled after the
Disability Effective Date to receive, disability and other benefits at least
equal to the most favorable of those generally provided by the Company and the
Affiliated Companies to disabled executives and/or their families in accordance
with such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to disability, if
any, as in effect generally with respect to other peer executives and their
families at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the
Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive and/or the Executive's
family, as in effect at any time thereafter generally with respect to other peer
executives of the Company and the Affiliated Companies and their families.

                                       10
<PAGE>

              (d) Cause; Other than for Good Reason. If the Executive's
employment is terminated for Cause during the Employment Period, the Company
shall provide to the Executive (x) the Executive's Annual Base Salary through
the Date of Termination, (y) the amount of any compensation previously deferred
by the Executive, and (z) Other Benefits, in each case to the extent theretofore
unpaid, and shall have no other severance obligations under this Agreement. If
the Executive voluntarily terminates employment during the Employment Period,
excluding a termination for Good Reason, the Company shall provide to the
Executive the Accrued Obligations and the timely payment or delivery of Other
Benefits, and shall have no other severance obligations under this Agreement. In
such case, all Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum
in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination.

         7. Non-exclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent
or limit the Executive's continuing or future participation in any plan,
program, policy or practice provided by the Company or the Affiliated Companies
and for which the Executive may qualify, nor, subject to Section 12(f), shall
anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have
under any other contract or agreement with the Company or the Affiliated
Companies. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise
entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of or any
contract or agreement with the Company or any of the Affiliated Companies at or
subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be payable in accordance with such
plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement except as explicitly
modified by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive
receives payments and benefits pursuant to Section 6(a) of this Agreement, the
Executive shall not be entitled to any severance pay or benefits under any
severance plan, program or policy of the Company and the Affiliated Companies,
unless specifically provided therein in a specific reference to this Agreement.

         8. Full Settlement. The Company's obligation to make the payments
provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations
hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment,
defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the
Executive or others. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other
employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable
to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and such amounts
shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment. The
Company agrees to pay as incurred (within ten days following the Company's
receipt of an invoice from the Executive), to the full extent permitted by law,
all legal fees and expenses which the Executive may reasonably incur as a result
of any contest (regardless of the outcome thereof) by the Company, the Executive
or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any
provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance thereof (including
as a result of any contest by the Executive about the amount of any payment
pursuant to this Agreement), plus in each case interest on any delayed payment
at the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

         9. Certain Additional Payments by the Company.

              (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in
the event it shall be determined that any Payment would be subject to the Excise
Tax, then the Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a
"Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that after payment by the Executive of all
taxes (and any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes),
including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties
imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment,
the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax
imposed upon the Payments.

              (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 9(c), all determinations
required to be made under this Section 9, including whether and when a Gross-Up
Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions
to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or such other nationally recognized certified public
accounting firm as may be designated by the Executive (the "Accounting Firm").
The Accounting Firm shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the
Company and the Executive within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from
the Executive that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is
requested by the Company. In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as
accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change
of Control, the Executive may appoint another nationally recognized accounting
firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall
then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of
the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment,
as determined pursuant to this Section 9, shall be paid by the Company to the
Executive within five days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm's
determination. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon
the Company and the Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application
of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the
Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not
have been made by the Company should have been made ("Underpayment"), consistent
with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that the
Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 9(c) and the Executive
thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm
shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such
Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the
Executive.

              (c) The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim
by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment
by the Company of the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon
as practicable but no later than ten business days after the Executive is
informed in writing of such claim. The Executive shall apprise the Company of
the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be
paid. The Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the
30-day period following the date on which the Executive gives such notice to the
Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes
with respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies the Executive in
writing prior to the expiration of such period that the Company desires to
contest such claim, the Executive shall:

                                       12
<PAGE>

                  (i) give the Company any information reasonably requested by
         the Company relating to such claim,

                  (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim
         as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time,
         including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with
         respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the
         Company,

                  (iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order
         effectively to contest such claim, and

                  (iv) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings
         relating to such claim;

provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and
expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection
with such contest and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an
after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and
penalties) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and
expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 9(c),
the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest
and, at its sole discretion, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative
appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the applicable taxing
authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole discretion, either
direct the Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the
claim in any permissible manner, and the Executive agrees to prosecute such
contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of
initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall
determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs the Executive to pay
such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such
payment to the Executive, on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify and hold
the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax
(including interest or penalties) imposed with respect to such advance or with
respect to any imputed income in connection with such advance; and provided,
further, that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of
taxes for the taxable year of the Executive with respect to which such contested
amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount.
Furthermore, the Company's control of the contest shall be limited to issues
with respect to which the Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and the
Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other
issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.

              (d) If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced
by the Company pursuant to Section 9(c), the Executive becomes entitled to
receive any refund with respect to such claim, the Executive shall (subject to
the Company's complying with the requirements of Section 9(c)) promptly pay to
the Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or
credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by the
Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 9(c), a
determination is made that the Executive shall not be entitled to any refund
with respect to such claim and the Company does not notify the Executive in
writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration
of 30 days after such determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and
shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset,
to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid.

                                       13
<PAGE>

              (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9, the
Company may, in its sole discretion, withhold and pay over to the Internal
Revenue Service or any other applicable taxing authority, for the benefit of the
Executive, all or any portion of the Gross-Up Payment, and the Executive hereby
consents to such withholding.

              (f) Definitions. The following terms shall have the following
meanings for purposes of this Section 9.

                  (i) "Excise Tax" shall mean the excise tax imposed by Section
         4999 of the Code, together with any interest or penalties imposed with
         respect to such excise tax.

                  (ii) The "Net After-Tax Amount" of a Payment shall mean the
         Value of a Payment net of all taxes imposed on the Executive with
         respect thereto under Sections 1 and 4999 of the Code and applicable
         state and local law, determined by applying the highest marginal rates
         that are expected to apply to the Executive's taxable income for the
         taxable year in which the Payment is made.

                  (iii) "Parachute Value" of a Payment shall mean the present
         value as of the date of the change of control for purposes of Section
         280G of the Code of the portion of such Payment that constitutes a
         "parachute payment" under Section 280G(b)(2), as determined by the
         Accounting Firm for purposes of determining whether and to what extent
         the Excise Tax will apply to such Payment.

                  (iv) A "Payment" shall mean any payment or distribution in the
         nature of compensation (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the
         Code) to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable
         pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.

                  (v) The "Safe Harbor Amount" means the maximum Parachute Value
         of all Payments that the Executive can receive without any Payments
         being subject to the Excise Tax.

                  (vi) "Value" of a Payment shall mean the economic present
         value of a Payment as of the date of the change of control for purposes
         of Section 280G of the Code, as determined by the Accounting Firm using
         the discount rate required by Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code.

         10. Confidential Information. The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary
capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information,
knowledge or data relating to the Company, Parent or the Affiliated Companies,
and their respective businesses, which information, knowledge or data shall have
been obtained by the Executive during the Executive's employment by the Company,
Parent or the Affiliated Companies and which information, knowledge or data
shall not be or become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Executive or
representatives of the Executive in violation of this Agreement). After
termination of the Executive's employment with the Company, the Executive shall
not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be
required by law or legal process, communicate or divulge any such information,
knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those persons designated
by the Company. In no event shall an asserted violation of the provisions of
this Section 10 constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts
otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement.

                                       14

         11. Successors.

              (a) This Agreement is personal to the Executive and without the
prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by the Executive
otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive's legal
representatives.

              (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the Company and its successors and assigns. Except as provided in Sections
11(c), and 11(d), without the prior written consent of the Executive this
Agreement shall not be assignable by the Company.

              (c) The Company will require any successor (whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume
expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same
extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession
had taken place. As used in this Agreement, "Company" shall mean the Company as
hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as
aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of
law, or otherwise. The parties hereto understand and agree that, as of the date
hereof, Foster Wheeler LLC and Foster Wheeler International Holdings, Inc.,
indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Parent, shall have executed an agreement
to unconditionally guarantee the Company's performance of its obligations under
this Agreement, and Parent shall have executed an agreement to (i) perform the
obligations of Parent under this Agreement and (ii) as of and after the
Effective Date, unconditionally guarantee the performance of the obligations of
Foster Wheeler LLC and Foster Wheeler International Holdings, Inc. under this
Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, and notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the performance of the Company's
obligations hereunder by Foster Wheeler LLC, Foster Wheeler International
Holdings, Inc., Parent or any Affiliated Company shall be deemed to be
performance by the Company of such obligations.

              (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement: (i) in
the event that the Company ceases to be an Affiliated Company at any time before
the Effective Date, and immediately thereafter the Executive is an employee of
Parent or any other entity that remains an Affiliated Company (a "Continuing
Affiliate"), then Parent shall assume this Agreement, or cause it to be assumed
by a Continuing Affiliate, and from and after such assumption, the Company shall
have no further obligations hereunder and references herein to the "Company"
shall be deemed to refer to the entity that so assumes this Agreement; and (ii)
in the event that the Company ceases to be an Affiliated Company at any time
before the Effective Date, and immediately thereafter the Executive is not an
employee of Parent or any Continuing Affiliate, then this Agreement shall
immediately terminate and be of no further force or effect.

         12. Miscellaneous.

be amended or modified otherwise than by a written agreement executed by the

Agreement such United States federal, state, local or foreign taxes as shall be
required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

              (e) The Executive's or the Company's failure to insist upon strict
compliance with any provision of this Agreement or the failure to assert any
right the Executive or the Company may have hereunder, including, without
limitation, the right of the Executive to terminate employment for Good Reason
pursuant to Sections 5(c)(i) through 5(c)(v), shall not be deemed to be a waiver
of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement.

              (f) The Executive and the Company acknowledge that, except as may
otherwise be provided under any other written agreement between the Executive
and the Company, the employment of the Executive by the Company is "at will"

      2.    BUYER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

      Each Buyer represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, that:

            (a)  Investment  Purpose.  Each Buyer is acquiring  the  Convertible
Debentures  and,  upon  conversion  of  Convertible  Debentures,  the Buyer will
acquire the Conversion Shares then issuable,  for its own account for investment
only and not with a view towards,  or for resale in connection  with, the public
sale or distribution  thereof,  except pursuant to sales  registered or exempted
under the 1933  Act;  provided,  however,  that by  making  the  representations
herein, such Buyer reserves the right to dispose of the Conversion Shares at any
time in  accordance  with or pursuant  to an  effective  registration  statement
covering such Conversion Shares or an available exemption under the 1933 Act.

            (b)  Accredited  Investor  Status.  Each  Buyer  is  an  "Accredited
Investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D.

            (c)  Reliance  on  Exemptions.   Each  Buyer  understands  that  the
Convertible  Debentures are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific
exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state
securities  laws and that the  Company  is  relying  in part  upon the truth and
accuracy of, and such Buyer's compliance with, the representations,  warranties,
agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Buyer set forth herein in
order to determine the  availability  of such  exemptions and the eligibility of
such Buyer to acquire such securities.

            (d)  Information.  Each  Buyer  and its  advisors  (and his or,  its
counsel),  if any,  have  been  furnished  with all  materials  relating  to the
business,  finances  and  operations  of the Company and  information  he deemed
material to making an informed investment decision regarding his purchase of the
Convertible  Debentures and the Conversion Shares,  which have been requested by
such  Buyer.  Each  Buyer  and its  advisors,  if any,  have been  afforded  the
opportunity  to ask  questions of the Company and its  management.  Neither such
inquiries nor any other due diligence  investigations conducted by such Buyer or
its advisors,  if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such
Buyer's right to rely on the Company's  representations and warranties contained
in  Section  3  below.  Each  Buyer  understands  that  its  investment  in  the
Convertible Debentures and the Conversion Shares involves a high degree of risk.

                                       3
<PAGE>

Each Buyer is in a position regarding the Company, which, based upon employment,
family relationship or economic bargaining power, enabled and enables such Buyer
to obtain information from the Company in order to evaluate the merits and risks
of this investment. Each Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice,
as it has  considered  necessary to make an informed  investment  decision  with
respect to its  acquisition  of the  Convertible  Debentures  and the Conversion
Shares.

            (e) No Governmental  Review.  Each Buyer  understands that no United
States federal or state agency or any other  government or  governmental  agency
has  passed on or made any  recommendation  or  endorsement  of the  Convertible
Debentures  or the  Conversion  Shares,  or the fairness or  suitability  of the
investment in the Convertible Debentures or the Conversion Shares, nor have such
authorities  passed  upon  or  endorsed  the  merits  of  the  offering  of  the
Convertible Debentures or the Conversion Shares.

            (f)  Transfer  or Resale.  Each  Buyer  understands  that  except as
provided in the Investor  Registration  Rights  Agreement:  (i) the  Convertible
Debentures have not been and are not being  registered under the 1933 Act or any
state  securities  laws,  and may not be offered  for sale,  sold,  assigned  or
transferred  unless (A) subsequently  registered  thereunder,  or (B) such Buyer
shall have  delivered  to the  Company an opinion  of  counsel,  in a  generally
acceptable  form,  to the effect that such  securities  to be sold,  assigned or
transferred may be sold,  assigned or transferred  pursuant to an exemption from
such  registration  requirements;  (ii)  any  sale  of such  securities  made in
reliance on Rule 144 under the 1933 Act (or a  successor  rule  thereto)  ("Rule
144") may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further,  if
Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of such securities under circumstances in
which the seller (or the person  through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to
be an  underwriter  (as  that  term is  defined  in the 1933  Act)  may  require
compliance  with  some  other  exemption  under  the 1933 Act or the  rules  and
regulations of the SEC  thereunder;  and (iii) neither the Company nor any other
person is under any obligation to register such securities under the 1933 Act or
any state  securities  laws or to comply  with the terms and  conditions  of any
exemption  thereunder.  The Company  reserves  the right to place stop  transfer
instructions against the shares and certificates for the Conversion Shares.

            (g) Legends.  Each Buyer  understands that the certificates or other
instruments representing the Convertible Debentures and or the Conversion Shares
shall bear a restrictive  legend in substantially the following form (and a stop
transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):

            THE SECURITIES  REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT
            BEEN  REGISTERED  UNDER THE  SECURITIES  ACT OF 1933, AS
            AMENDED,   OR  APPLICABLE  STATE  SECURITIES  LAWS.  THE
            SECURITIES  HAVE BEEN  ACQUIRED  SOLELY  FOR  INVESTMENT
            PURPOSES  AND NOT WITH A VIEW TOWARD  RESALE AND MAY NOT
            BE OFFERED FOR SALE,  SOLD,  TRANSFERRED  OR ASSIGNED IN
            THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE  REGISTRATION  STATEMENT FOR
            THE  SECURITIES  UNDER THE  SECURITIES  ACT OF 1933,  AS
            AMENDED,  OR  APPLICABLE  STATE  SECURITIES  LAWS, OR AN

                                       4
<PAGE>

            OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT
            REGISTRATION   IS  NOT   REQUIRED   UNDER  SAID  ACT  OR
            APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

The  legend set forth  above  shall be removed  and the  Company  within two (2)
business days shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of the
Conversion  Shares upon which it is stamped,  if, unless  otherwise  required by
state securities laws, (i) in connection with a sale  transaction,  provided the
Conversion Shares are registered under the 1933 Act or (ii) in connection with a
sale  transaction,  after such holder  provides  the Company  with an opinion of
counsel,  which  opinion  shall be in form,  substance  and scope  customary for
opinions  of counsel in  comparable  transactions,  to the effect  that a public
sale,  assignment  or  transfer  of the  Conversion  Shares may be made  without
registration under the 1933 Act.

            (h)  Authorization,  Enforcement.  This  Agreement has been duly and
validly  authorized,  executed  and  delivered  on behalf of such Buyer and is a
valid and binding  agreement of such Buyer  enforceable  in accordance  with its
terms,  except as such  enforceability  may be limited by general  principles of
equity  or  applicable  bankruptcy,  insolvency,   reorganization,   moratorium,
liquidation  and other  similar laws  relating to, or affecting  generally,  the
enforcement of applicable creditors' rights and remedies.

            (i)  Receipt of  Documents.  Each Buyer and his or its  counsel  has
received and read in their entirety: (i) this Agreement and each representation,
warranty and covenant set forth  herein,  the Security  Agreement,  the Investor
Registration  Rights  Agreement,  the  Escrow  Agreement,  and  the  Irrevocable
transfer  Agent  Instructions;  (ii) all due  diligence  and  other  information

to the Company regarding an investment in the Company; and each Buyer has relied
on the  information  contained  therein  and has not been  furnished  any  other
documents, literature, memorandum or prospectus.

            (j) Due Formation of Corporate and Other Buyers.  If the Buyer(s) is
a  corporation,  trust,  partnership  or other entity that is not an  individual
person, it has been formed and validly exists and has not been organized for the
specific purpose of purchasing the Convertible  Debentures and is not prohibited
from doing so.

            (k) No Legal Advice From the Company. Each Buyer acknowledges,  that
it  had  the   opportunity  to  review  this  Agreement  and  the   transactions
contemplated  by this Agreement with his or its own legal counsel and investment
and tax advisors.  Each Buyer is relying solely on such counsel and advisors and
not  on  any  statements  or  representations  of  the  Company  or  any  of its
representatives  or agents for legal,  tax or investment  advice with respect to
this  investment,  the  transactions  contemplated  by  this  Agreement  or  the
securities laws of any jurisdiction.

foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction
in which the nature of the  business  conducted  by it makes such  qualification
necessary,  except to the extent  that the failure to be so  qualified  or be in

subsidiaries taken as a whole.

            (b) Authorization,  Enforcement,  Compliance with Other Instruments.
(i) The Company has the  requisite  corporate  power and authority to enter into

Company  executing  this  Agreement,   the  Security  Agreement,   the  Investor
Registration Rights Agreement,  the Escrow Agreement,  the Irrevocable  Transfer

of Convertible  Debentures as specified from time to time by the Buyer(s) to the
Company  upon  conversion  of the  Convertible  Debentures,  for  interest  owed
pursuant to the Convertible  Debenture,  and for any and all Liquidated  Damages

Company shall within two (2) business days instruct its transfer  agent to issue
one or more certificates in such name and in such  denominations as specified by

Section 5 will be inadequate and agrees,  in the event of a breach or threatened
breach by the Company of the  provisions  of this  Section 5, that the  Buyer(s)
shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction
restraining any breach and requiring  immediate  issuance and transfer,  without

transactions contemplated hereby.

            (l)  Termination.  In the  event  that the  Closing  shall  not have
