Agreement to Terminate Consulting Services Agreement

Exhibit 10.2

AGREEMENT TO TERMINATE
CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENT

     THIS AGREEMENT TO TERMINATE CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of September 11, 2007, by and between WILLBROS USA, INC. (“Willbros”) and MICHAEL F. CURRAN (the “Consultant”).

WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, Willbros and the Consultant entered into a Consulting Services Agreement on December 29, 2006 (the “Consulting Services Agreement”);

     WHEREAS, Willbros and the Consultant have decided to terminate the Consulting Services Agreement; and

     WHEREAS, Willbros and the Consultant wish to achieve a final and amicable resolution of all issues related to their consulting relationship;

     NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises set forth below, as well as other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

     1. Termination of Agreement and Relationship. Effective September 11, 2007 (the “Effective Date”), Willbros and the Consultant agree that the Consulting Services Agreement is terminated and that neither of them shall have any further rights or obligations under the Consulting Services Agreement. Except as set forth in this Agreement, the termination of the Consulting Services Agreement shall not affect any rights or obligations that Willbros or the Consultant have under any other agreements including, but not limited to, that certain Separation Agreement and Release entered into by and between Willbros and the Consultant on December 21, 2006 (the “Separation Agreement”).

     2. Continuation of Payments. In consideration of the Consultant’s agreement to terminate the Consulting Services Agreement, Willbros shall:

     a. Pay the Consultant Twelve Thousand Five Hundred U.S. Dollars (U.S.$12,500.00) per month at the end of each calendar month from the Effective Date until the final payment is made as of December 31, 2008;

     b. Until December 31, 2008, pay or reimburse Consultant for those expenses for which he was being reimbursed under the Consulting Services Agreement, including club and organizational fees; and

     c. Until December 31, 2008, make available to the Consultant off-site and without charge, office space, office equipment, secretarial assistance, parking, communications equipment (including a Blackberry/cell phone the same or equivalent to the

smartphone) and storage space, in each case separate from Willbros but comparable to that enjoyed by the Consultant under the Consulting Services Agreement. Insofar as secretarial assistance is concerned, Consultant has requested that his long time assistant, Ms. Darlene Long, remain available off-site to support Consultant full-time at his new office location in Houston. Accordingly, provided Ms. Long is willing, Willbros agrees to maintain Ms. Long on the Willbros payroll as an employee through the end of 2008 for the purpose of providing transitional secretarial services and administrative support off-site to the Consultant through to the end of 2008. Additionally, provided that Ms. Long completes this transitional support service role for the Consultant through December 31, 2008, Willbros agrees to pay Ms. Long a six months severance benefit in recognition of her many years of accredited service to the Consultant and Willbros, collectively. Should Ms. Long decline to continue working with the Consultant at any point, a suitable substitute support arrangement will be agreed between the Consultant and Willbros.

     3. Group Medical Plan. Under the Separation Agreement the Consultant, as a consultant to Willbros, is eligible to participate and is participating in the Group Medical Plan maintained by Willbros. Willbros and the Consultant acknowledge and agree that the termination of the Consulting Services Agreement and of the relationship of the Consultant as a consultant to Willbros will end the Consultant’s eligibility to participate in such Group Medical Plan as a consultant. Should the Consultant elect, under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”), to continue to participate in such Group Medical Plan after the Effective Date, Willbros shall pay Five Hundred Twenty-Five U.S. Dollars (U.S. $525.00) per month through December 31, 2008, of the cost of the Consultant to continue such participation, which is the difference between the Consultant’s monthly premium payment as a participant in the Group Medical Plan and the required monthly COBRA premium.

     4. Taxes. Consultant will pay, be fully responsible for and indemnify Willbros and its affiliates against all taxes attributable to the amounts payable to or for the benefit of Consultant hereunder, including, without limitation, income, unemployment, social security and Medicare taxes.

     5. Resignations. Effective the Effective Date, without further action other than his execution of this Agreement, Consultant resigns as the Chairman of the Board of Directors and as a member of the Board of Directors of Willbros Group, Inc. (“WGI”).

     6. Indemnification. Willbros will continue to indemnify Consultant against any liability which arises as a result of Consultant’s provision of services under the Consulting Services Agreement, provided such liability is not attributable to Consultant’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or failure to comply with the provisions of the Consulting Services Agreement; provided, however, the limit of Consultant’s liability toward Willbros under the Consulting Services Agreement shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the accumulated amounts paid to the Consultant under this Agreement and the Consulting Services Agreement, save and except of willful misconduct which will not be subject to any limitation.
