ARTICLE 3
Bonus Payments and Tax Bonus Payments

3.5                                 Bonus Payments.  As the Participant’s Bonus, the Participant’s Employer shall pay to the Insurer, on behalf of the Participant, any required premiums due on the Policy in each Plan Year.  The amount of such premium payments are intended, but shall not be required, to be sufficient to provide for a death benefit under the Policy equal to (a) the Participant’s Base Annual Salary, multiplied by 200%, at all times prior to the Participant’s Retirement; and (b) the Participant’s Base Annual Salary, multiplied by 100%, at all times on or after the Participant’s Retirement.  Upon Retirement, the Employer shall make a final Bonus payment that is estimated to provide for the targeted death benefit under the Policy described in the preceding sentence.

All premium payments shall be treated as compensation to the Participant, provided, however, that such payments shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the Participant’s eligible compensation under any of the Company’s benefit plans, including, but not limited to, the Washington Group International Voluntary Deferred

Compensation Plan, the Washington Group International Restoration Plan and the Washington Group International 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan.  All premium payments under this Agreement shall be paid at a time selected by the Committee in its sole discretion but in no event later than seventy-five (75) days after the end of the Plan Year to which the premiums relate.

3.6                                 Tax Bonus.  In addition to the Bonus payments made in accordance with Section 3.1 above, the Participant’s Employer shall pay a Tax Bonus directly to the Participant.  The amount of the Tax Bonus will be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.  It is anticipated that the sum of the Tax Bonus and the Bonus payment shall provide the Participant with after-tax compensation that approximates the premiums due on the Policy in each Plan Year.

The Tax Bonus shall be paid at a time selected by the Committee in its sole discretion but in no event later than seventy-five (75) days after the end of the Plan Year to which the Bonus relates.

3.7                                 Tax Withholding.  The Participant’s Employer shall withhold from the Participant’s compensation all required federal, state and local income, employment and other taxes, in connection with the Company’s payment of the Bonus and the Tax Bonus, in amounts and in a manner to be determined in the sole discretion of the Employer.

3.8                                 Cessation of Bonus Payments and Tax Bonus Payments; Termination of Participation.

(a)                                  The Participant’s Employer shall cease making the Bonus payments described in Section 3.1 and the Tax Bonus payments described in Section 3.2 upon the first to occur of the following:

(i)                                     The Participant borrows against or withdraws all or a portion of the Policy’s cash value;

(ii)                                  The Participant experiences a Termination of Employment; however, if the Participant Retires then a final Bonus payment shall be paid as provided in Section 3.1;

(iii)                               The Policy is no longer in force; or

(iv)                              The Employer terminates the Agreement pursuant to Section 5.1.

3.6                                 Loss of Policy Benefits.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no benefits shall be payable under this Agreement if the terms of any Policy are violated in any manner that results in denial of benefits otherwise payable under such Policy.

4.2                                 Beneficiary.  The Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate his or her Beneficiary (both primary as well as contingent) to receive any benefits payable under the Policy to a beneficiary upon the death of the Participant.  The Beneficiary designated under this Agreement may be the same as or different from the Beneficiary designation under any other plan of an Employer in which the Participant participates; provided, however, that the Participant may not designate the Company or an Employer as his or her Beneficiary.

ARTICLE 5
Termination and Amendment

5.3                                 Termination.  The Board reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time.  At least sixty (60) days prior to any such termination under this Section 5.1, the Company shall provide the Participant written notice of the Board’s intention to terminate the Agreement.

ARTICLE 9
Miscellaneous

9.8                                 Status of Agreement.  This Agreement is intended to be a plan that is not qualified within the meaning of Code Section 401(a) and that is unfunded and is maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing welfare benefits for a select group of management or highly compensated employees within the meaning of DOL Regulation Section 2520.104-24.  This Agreement shall be administered and interpreted to the extent possible in a manner consistent with that intent.

9.9                                 Unsecured General Creditor.  The Participant and his or her Beneficiary, heirs, successors and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, interests or claims in any property or assets of an Employer.  For purposes of the payment of benefits under this Agreement, any and all of an Employer’s assets shall be, and remain, the general, unpledged unrestricted assets of such Employer.  An Employer’s obligation under this Agreement shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future.

9.10                           Company’s Liability.  This Agreement shall exclusively determine the Company’s liability for the payment of benefits under this Agreement.  Nothing in this Agreement should be construed as tax advice on the part of the Company.  The Company is not responsible for the tax effects of the receipt of any Policy proceeds by the Participant, a Beneficiary, or any other party.

9.11                           Nonassignability.  Neither the Participant nor any other person shall have any right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate, alienate or convey in advance of actual receipt, the amounts, if any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, which are, and all rights to which are expressly

declared to be, unassignable and non-transferable.  No part of the amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to seizure, attachment, garnishment or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by the Participant or any other person, be transferable by operation of law in the event of the Participant’s or any other person’s bankruptcy or insolvency or be transferable to a spouse as a result of a property settlement or otherwise.

9.12                           Not a Contract of Employment.  The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between any Employer and the Participant.  Such employment is hereby acknowledged to be an “at will” employment relationship that can be terminated at any time for any reason, or no reason, with or without cause, and with or without notice, unless expressly provided in a written employment agreement.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to give the Participant the right to be retained in the service of any Employer, as an Employee, or to interfere with the right of any Employer to discipline or discharge the Participant at any time.

9.13                           Furnishing Information.  The Participant or his or her Beneficiary will cooperate with the Committee by furnishing any and all information requested by the Committee and take such other actions as may be requested in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the payments of benefits hereunder, including but not limited to taking such physical examinations as the Committee may deem necessary.

9.14                           Terms.  Whenever any words are used herein in the masculine, they shall be construed as though they were in the feminine in all cases where they would so apply; and whenever any words are used herein in the singular or in the plural, they shall be construed as though they were used in the plural or the singular, as the case may be, in all cases where they would so apply.

9.11                           Captions.  The captions of the articles, sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of its provisions.

Such notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or certification.

Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Participant under this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered, or sent by mail, to the last known address of the Participant.

9.16                           Successors.  The provisions of this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns and the Participant and the Participant’s designated Beneficiary.

9.17                           Spouse’s Interest.  The interest in the benefits hereunder of a spouse of the Participant who has predeceased the Participant shall automatically pass to the Participant and shall not be transferable by such spouse in any manner, including but not limited to such spouse’s will, nor shall such interest pass under the laws of intestate succession.

9.18                           Validity.  In case any provision of this Agreement shall be illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been inserted herein.

9.19                           Incompetent.  If the Committee determines in its discretion that a benefit under this Agreement is to be paid to a minor, a person declared incompetent or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of that person’s property, the Committee may direct payment of such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care and custody of such minor, incompetent or incapable person.  The Committee may require proof of minority, incompetence, incapacity or guardianship, as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit.  Any payment of a benefit shall be a payment for the account of the Participant and the Participant’s Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a complete discharge of any liability under this Agreement for such payment amount.

9.20                           Court Order.  The Committee is authorized to make any payments directed by court order in any action in which the Committee has been named as a party.  In addition, if a court determines that a spouse or former spouse of the Participant has an interest in the Participant’s benefits under this Agreement in connection with a property settlement or otherwise, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to immediately distribute the spouse’s or former spouse’s interest in the Participant’s benefits under this Agreement to that spouse or former spouse.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Participant has signed and the Company has accepted this, on its behalf and on behalf of the Participant’s Employer, as of December 8, 2005.
