The Trustee shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Trustee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

            (b)   The Trustee may, without notice to, or consent from, the Grantor, transfer, or direct the transfer of, funds from the Account Collateral to satisfy the Note Obligations. The Trustee shall notify the Grantor promptly following any such transfer or direction; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such transfer or direction.

            (c)   Any cash held by or on behalf of the Trustee and all cash proceeds received by or on behalf of the Trustee in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Trustee, be held by the Trustee as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied in whole or in part by the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations, in the following manner:

              (i)    to pay the expenses of such sale or disposition, including reasonable compensation to agents of and counsel for the Trustee, and all reasonable expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in connection with the Collateral Documents, and any other amounts then due and payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07 of the New Indenture;

              (ii)   to pay ratably all amounts in respect of the Note Obligations, until payment in full of the same shall have been made; and

              (iii)  to pay to the applicable Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive any surplus from the proceeds of the Collateral owned by it.

            (d)   All payments received by any Grantor under or in connection with any Assigned Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Trustee, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Trustee in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

            (e)   The Trustee may, without notice to any Grantor except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations against any funds held with respect to the Account Collateral or in any other deposit account.

            (f)    In the event of any sale or other disposition of any of the Intellectual Property Collateral of any Grantor, the goodwill of the business connected with and symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such sale or other disposition shall be included therein, and such Grantor shall supply to the Trustee or its designee such Grantor's know-how and expertise, and documents and things relating to any Intellectual Property Collateral subject to such sale or other disposition, and such Grantor's customer lists and other records and documents relating to such Intellectual Property Collateral and to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products and services of such Grantor.

18



            (g)   If the Trustee shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any of the Security Collateral of any Grantor pursuant to this Section 20, each Grantor agrees that, upon request of the Trustee, such Grantor will, at its own expense:

              (i)    if such Security Collateral constitutes Pledged Equity of a Subsidiary of such Grantor, execute and deliver, and cause the issuer of such Pledged Equity contemplated to be sold and the directors and officers thereof to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may be necessary or, in the opinion of the Trustee, advisable to register such Pledged Equity under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended from time to time, the "Securities Act"), to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for such period as prospectuses are required by law to be furnished and to make all amendments and supplements thereto and to the related prospectus that, in the opinion of the Trustee, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto;

              (ii)   use its best efforts to qualify such Security Collateral under the state securities or "Blue Sky" laws and to obtain all necessary governmental approvals for the sale of such Security Collateral, as requested by the Trustee;

              (iii)  cause each such issuer of such Security Collateral to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement that will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act; and

              (iv)  do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of such Security Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee is authorized, in connection with any such sale, if it deems it advisable to do so, (A) to restrict the prospective bidders on or purchasers of any of such Security Collateral to a limited number of sophisticated investors who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale of any of such Security Collateral, (B) to cause to be placed on certificates for any or all of such Security Collateral or on any other securities pledged hereunder a legend to the effect that such security has not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be disposed of in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act, and (C) to impose such other limitations or conditions in connection with any such sale as the Trustee deems necessary or advisable in order to comply with the Securities Act or any other law. The parties acknowledge and agree that only under very unusual circumstances, if ever, would the Trustee be required to register such Security Collateral under the Securities Act in order to effect a commercially reasonable sale.

            (h)   The Trustee is authorized, in connection with any sale of Security Collateral pursuant to this Section 20, to deliver or otherwise disclose to any prospective purchaser of such Security Collateral: (i) any registration statement or prospectus, and all supplements and amendments thereto, prepared pursuant to subsection (g)(i) above; and (ii) any other information in its possession relating to such Security Collateral.

              (i)    Each Grantor acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the amount of damages that would be suffered by the Secured Parties by reason of the failure by such Grantor to perform any of the covenants contained in subsection (g) above and, consequently, agrees that, if such Grantor shall fail to perform any of such covenants, the Trustee shall have the right of specific performance.

        SECTION 21.    Indemnity and Expenses.    Each Grantor agrees to indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Secured Party and each of their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors,

19


employees, agents and advisors (each, an "Indemnified Party") from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or resulting from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

        SECTION 22.    Intentionally Left Blank.    This Section 22 has been intentionally left blank.

        SECTION 23.    Amendments; Waivers; Trustee Actions; Additional Grantors; Etc.    

        (a)    Amendments.    No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No failure on the part of the Trustee or any other Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. Except as otherwise provided in Section 20, the Trustee shall take instructions from the holders of a majority of the Note Obligations as to all matters. Any such action, including any release of Collateral, shall be binding on the Noteholders.

        (b)    Security Supplements.    Upon the execution and delivery, or authentication, by any Person of a security agreement supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (each a "Security Agreement Supplement"), (i) such Person shall be referred to as an "Additional Grantor" and shall be and become a Grantor hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement and the other New Indenture Documents to "Grantor" shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Grantor, and each reference in this Agreement and the other New Indenture Documents to "Collateral" shall also mean and be a reference to the Collateral of such Additional Grantor, and (ii) the supplemental schedules XII attached to each Security Agreement Supplement shall be incorporated into and become a part of and supplement Schedules XII, respectively, hereto, and the Trustee may attach such supplemental schedules to such Schedules; and each reference to such Schedules shall mean and be a reference to such Schedules as supplemented pursuant to each Security Agreement Supplement.

        SECTION 24.    Notices; Etc.    

        (a)    General.    Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission). All such written notices shall be mailed, faxed or delivered to the applicable address, facsimile number or (subject to subsection (c) below) electronic mail address, as set forth in or designated pursuant to Section 12.03 of the New Indenture. All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to be given or made upon the earlier to occur of (i) actual receipt by the relevant party hereto and (ii) (A) if delivered by hand or by courier, when signed for by or on behalf of the relevant party hereto; (B) if delivered by mail, four Business Days after deposit in the mails, postage prepaid; (C) if delivered by facsimile, when sent and receipt has been confirmed by telephone; and (D) if delivered by electronic mail (which form of delivery is subject to the provisions of subsection (c) below), when delivered; provided, however, that notices and other communications to the Trustee shall not be effective until actually received by the Trustee.

        (b)    Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures.    Collateral Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable law, have the same force and effect as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on all parties hereto. The Trustee may also require that any such documents and signatures be

20



confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile document or signature.

        (c)    Limited Use of Electronic Mail.    Electronic mail and Internet and intranet websites may be used only to distribute routine communications, such as distribution of Collateral Documents for execution by the parties thereto, and may not be used for any other purpose.

        (d)    Reliance by Trustee.    The Trustee shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of any Grantor even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. Each Grantor shall indemnify the Trustee and its Affiliates from all losses and liabilities, and all reasonable costs and expenses, resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of such Grantor absent gross negligence or willful misconduct. All communications with the Trustee may be recorded by the Trustee, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

        (e)    No Duty to Verify.    The Trustee may rely on any notice (whether or not such notice is made in a manner permitted or required by this Agreement or any New Indenture Document) purportedly made by or on behalf of the Company (including acting on behalf of any other Grantor) or any other Grantor, and the Trustee shall not have any duty to verify the identity or authority of any Person giving such notice.

        SECTION 25.    Continuing Security Interest; Assignments under the Credit Agreement.    This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of the Note Obligations, (b) be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Trustee hereunder, to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer its Notes, or all or any portion of its rights and obligations under or in respect of the Notes, to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in the New Notes Indenture.

        SECTION 26.    Release; Termination.    Collateral shall be released by the Trustee upon the request of the Company subject to the satisfaction of the conditions therefor set forth in Section 10.03 of the New Indenture.

        SECTION 27.    Security Interest Absolute.    All rights of the Trustee and the other Secured Parties and the pledge, assignment and security interest hereunder, and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder, shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) any defenses it may now have or may hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

            (a)   any lack of validity or enforceability of any New Indenture Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

            (b)   any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Grantors under or in respect of the New Indenture Documents or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any New Indenture Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Secured Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise;

21



            (c)   any taking, exchange, release or non perfection of any Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations;

            (d)   any manner of application of any Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of the Secured Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Grantor under or in respect of the New Indenture Documents or any other assets of any Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries;

            (e)   any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries;

            (f)    any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to any Grantor any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, assets, nature of assets, liabilities or prospects of any other Grantor now or hereafter known to such Secured Party (each Grantor waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such information);

            (g)   the failure of any other Person to execute this Agreement or any other Collateral Document, guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Grantor or other grantor or surety with respect to the Secured Obligations;

            (h)   any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, such Grantor or any other Grantor or a third party grantor of a security interest; or

              (i)    (i) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Secured Party that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Grantor or other rights of such Grantor to proceed against any of the other Grantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral and (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the Obligations of such Grantor hereunder.

        SECTION 28.    Execution in Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.

        SECTION 29.    The Mortgages.    In the event that any of the Collateral hereunder is also subject to a valid and enforceable Lien under the terms of any Mortgage and the terms of such Mortgage are inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, then with respect to such Collateral, the terms of such Mortgage shall be controlling in the case of fixtures and real estate leases, letting and licenses of, and contracts and agreements relating to the lease of, real property, and the terms of this Agreement shall be controlling in the case of all other Collateral.

        SECTION 30.    Governing Law.    This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

        SECTION 31.    Limitation of Liability.    It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this Agreement is executed and delivered by The Bank of New York, not individually or personally but solely as Owner Trustee of the Perryville III Trust, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it, (b) the representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the Perryville III Trust are made and intended not as personal representations,

22



undertakings and agreements by The Bank of New York, but are made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Perryville III Trust, (c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on The Bank of New York, individually or personally, to perform any covenant either expressed or implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties who are signatories to this Agreement and by any Person claiming by, through or under such parties and (d) under no circumstances shall The Bank of New York be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Perryville III Trust or the other Grantors or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Perryville III Trust or the other Grantors under this Agreement.

23


        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Grantor has caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by its officer thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.

Security Agreement

FORM OF SECURITY AGREEMENT SUPPLEMENT

[Date of Security Agreement Supplement]

[                                ],
    as Trustee under the New Indenture
    referred to below
[
Address]
Attn: [            ]

Foster Wheeler LLC

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        Reference is made to (i) the Indenture dated as of May [    ], 2004 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "New Indenture"), among Foster Wheeler LLC, a Delaware limited liability corporation, certain of its affiliates party thereto and [                ], as Trustee (together with any successor Trustee appointed pursuant to Section [    ] of the New Indenture, the "Trustee"), and (ii) the Security Agreement dated as of May [    ], 2004 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Security Agreement") made by the Grantors from time to time party thereto in favor of the Trustee for the Secured Parties. Terms defined in the New Indenture or the Security Agreement and not otherwise defined herein are used herein as defined in the New Indenture or the Security Agreement.

        SECTION 1.    Grant of Security.    The undersigned hereby pledges to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and hereby grants to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, all of its right, title and interest in and to all of the Collateral of the undersigned, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned, wherever located and whether now or hereafter existing or arising, including, without limitation, the property and assets of the undersigned set forth on the attached supplemental schedules to the Schedules to the Security Agreement.

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual agreements contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

        SECTION 1.    The Accounts.    The Account Holder represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Secured Party that:

        (a)   The Account Holder maintains each Account for the Grantor, and all property (including, without limitation, all funds and financial assets) held by the Account Holder for the account of the Grantor are, and will continue to be, credited to an Account in accordance with instructions given by the Grantor (unless otherwise provided herein).

        (b)   To the extent that funds are credited to any Account, such Account is a deposit account; and to the extent that financial assets are credited to any Account, such Account is a securities account. The Account Holder is (i) the bank with which each Account is maintained and (ii) the securities intermediary with respect to financial assets held in any Account. The Grantor is (x) the Account Holder's customer with respect to the Accounts and (y) the entitlement holder with respect to financial assets credited from time to time to any Account.

        (c)   Notwithstanding any other agreement to the contrary, the Account Holder's jurisdiction with respect to each Account for purposes of the N.Y. Uniform Commercial Code is, and will continue to be for so long as the Security Interest shall be in effect, the State of New York.

        (d)   Attached as Exhibit A hereto are statements of the respective Accounts as of the date hereof showing the property credited to each Account.

        (e)   The Account Holder does not know of any claim to or interest in any Account or any property (including, without limitation, funds and financial assets) credited to any Account, except for claims and interests of the parties referred to in this Agreement.

36



each case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above originated by the Secured Party without further consent by the Grantor or any other Person.

        SECTION 3.    Grantor's Rights in Accounts.    

        (a)   Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, the Account Holder will comply with Account Directions and other directions concerning each Account originated by the Grantor without further consent by the Secured Party.

        (b)   Until the Account Holder receives a notice from the Secured Party that the Secured Party will exercise exclusive control over any Account (a "Notice of Exclusive Control" with respect to such Account), the Account Holder (i) will comply with the Account Directions and other directions concerning each Account originated by the Grantor and (ii) may distribute to the Grantor all interest and regular cash dividends on property (including, without limitation, funds and financial assets) in such Account.

        (c)   If the Account Holder receives from the Secured Party a Notice of Exclusive Control with respect to any Account, the Account Holder will comply only with Account Directions originated by the Secured Party and will cease:

            (i)    complying with Account Directions or other directions concerning such Account originated by the Grantor and

            (ii)   distributing to the Grantor interest and dividends on property (including, without limitation, funds and financial assets) in such Account.

        SECTION 4.    Priority of Secured Party's Security Interest.    

        (a)   The Account Holder (i) subordinates to the Security Interest and in favor of the Secured Party any security interest, lien, or right of recoupment or setoff that the Account Holder may have, now or in the future, against any Account or property (including, without limitation, any funds and financial assets) credited to any Account, and (ii) agrees that it will not exercise any right in respect of any such security interest or lien or any such right of recoupment or setoff until the Security Interest is terminated, except that the Account Holder (A) will retain its prior security interest and lien on property credited to any Account, (B) may exercise any right in respect of such security interest or lien, and (C) may exercise any right of recoupment or setoff against any Account, in the case of clauses (A), (B) and (C) above, to secure or to satisfy, and only to secure or to satisfy, payment (x) for such property, (y) for its customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of such Account, and (z) if such Account is a deposit account, for the face amount of any items that have been credited to such Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds.

        (b)   The Account Holder will not enter into any other agreement with any Person relating to Account Directions or other directions with respect to the Account.

        SECTION 5.    Statements, Confirmations, and Notices of Adverse Claims.

37



        SECTION 6.    The Account Holder's Responsibility.    

        (a)   Except for permitting a withdrawal, delivery, or payment in violation of Section 3, the Account Holder will not be liable to the Secured Party for complying with Account Directions or other directions concerning any Account from the Grantor that are received by the Account Holder before the Account Holder receives and has a reasonable opportunity to act on a Notice of Exclusive Control.

        (b)   The Account Holder will not be liable to the Grantor or the Secured Party for complying with a Notice of Exclusive Control or with an Account Direction or other direction concerning any Account originated by the Secured Party, even if the Grantor notifies the Account Holder that the Secured Party is not legally entitled to issue the Notice of Exclusive Control or Account Direction or such other direction unless the Account Holder takes the action after it is served with an injunction, restraining order, or other legal process enjoining it from doing so, issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, and had a reasonable opportunity to act on the injunction, restraining order or other legal process.

        (c)   This Agreement does not create any obligation of the Account Holder except for those expressly set forth in this Agreement and, in the case of any Account that is a securities account, in Part 5 of Article 8 of the N.Y. Uniform Commercial Code and, in the case of any Account that is a deposit account, in Article 4 of the N.Y. Uniform Commercial Code. In particular, the Account Holder need not investigate whether the Secured Party is entitled under the Secured Party's agreements with the Grantor to give an Account Direction or other direction concerning any Account or a Notice of Exclusive Control. The Account Holder may rely on notices and communications it believes given by the appropriate party.

        SECTION 7.    Indemnity.    The Grantor will indemnify the Account Holder, its officers, directors, employees and agents against claims, liabilities and expenses arising out of this Agreement (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements), except to the extent the claims, liabilities or expenses are caused by the Account Holder's gross negligence or willful misconduct as found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, nonappealable judgment.

        SECTION 8.    Termination; Survival.    

        (a)   The Secured Party may terminate this Agreement by notice to the Account Holder and the Grantor. If the Secured Party notifies the Account Holder that the Security Interest has terminated, this Agreement will immediately terminate.

        (b)   The Account Holder may terminate this Agreement on 30 days' prior notice to the Secured Party and the Grantor, provided that before such termination the Account Holder and the Grantor, unless otherwise agreed to by the Secured Party, shall make arrangements to transfer the property (including, without limitation, all funds and financial assets) credited to each Account to another Account Holder that shall have executed, together with the Grantor, a control agreement in favor of the Secured Party in respect of such property in substantially the form of this Agreement or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party.

        (c)   Sections 6 and 7 will survive termination of this Agreement.

        SECTION 9.    Governing Law.    This Agreement and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any agreement between the Account Holder and the Grantor, each Account will be governed by the law of the State of New York. The Account Holder and the Grantor may not change the law governing any Account without the Secured Party's express prior written agreement.

        SECTION 10.    Entire Agreement.    This Agreement is the entire agreement, and supersedes any prior agreements, and contemporaneous oral agreements, of the parties concerning its subject matter.

        SECTION 11.    Amendments.    No amendment of, or waiver of a right under, this Agreement will be binding unless it is in writing and signed by the party to be charged.
