GLOBAL ENERGY EQUIPMENT GROUP By ------------------------------------------ Larry Edwards President and CEO Date ---------------------------------------- GEEG 2001 MIC Plan - Page 4 6 January 17, 2001 [First Name] [Last Name] [Address] [City],[ State] [Postal Code] RE: 2001 Global Energy Equipment Group LLC MIC Plan Dear [First Name]: This letter represents formal notification of your participation in the 2001 Global Energy Equipment Group LLC Management Incentive Compensation (MIC) Plan. A description of the plan is enclosed. You will participate in 2001 at the ___% level, which means your bonus earned will vary proportionately between 0% and ___% of your salary as the Braden Manufacturing LLC ROI varies between 10% and 25%. Several issues relative to the MIC Plan should be emphasized: 1) Incentive compensation should not be considered as part of your normal compensation. It is paid for performance; when performance, for whatever reason, is not there, it will not be paid. 2) The Plan assumes your participation for the entire year. If you voluntarily leave during the year, you are not entitled to a bonus for that year; if you are terminated for cause, you are not entitled to a bonus; if you are terminated without cause or as a result of death, disability or retirement, you are entitled to a share proportionate to the time you worked. 3) Participants can contribute a portion of their incentive earnings to the 401 (k) plan, assuming the contribution does not violate some other provision of the Plan. The company contributions, however, are based only on salary, not on incentive compensation. Sincerely, Larry Edwards President and Chief Executive Officer
