                          GRANT AND EXERCISE OF UNITS

Sec. 6.1 GRANT OF UNITS
         --------------

     (a)  Units may be granted as a consequence of Incentive Compensation awards
          made in the form of Shadow Stock Units pursuant to the Fluor
          Corporation and Subsidiaries Executive Incentive Compensation Plan.
          Each such grant shall be evidenced by minutes of a meeting or the
          written consent of the Board.  The Grantee shall be promptly notified
          of such grant by a written communication which shall set forth the
          number of Units so granted.  For purposes of the Plan, the date of
          such Board action shall be deemed to be the date of grant.

     (b)  Units may also be separately granted by the Committee and the grant of
          any such Units shall be evidenced by minutes of a meeting or the
          written consent of the Committee and by a written Agreement dated as
          of the date of grant and executed by the Company and the Grantee which
          Agreement shall set forth such terms and conditions as may be
          determined by the Committee consistent with the Plan.

Sec. 6.2 EXERCISE PERIOD
         ---------------

     The period for exercise of each Unit granted hereunder shall be determined
     by the Committee, but in no instance shall such period exceed ten years
     from the date of grant.  At the end of said period, any unexercised Units
     shall be deemed to have been exercised in accordance with Section 6.3.

Sec. 6.3 EXERCISE OF UNITS
         -----------------

     Units granted hereunder shall be exercised by written notice of intent to
     exercise with respect to a specified number of Units (at least 50 or the
     entire remaining balance of the grant, whichever is less) delivered to the
     Company at its principal office in the State of California.  In the case of
     Grantees working outside the United States, such exercise shall be subject
     to the approval and consent of the Executive Compensation Committee of the
     Company.

Sec. 6.4 PAYMENT FOR UNITS EXERCISED
         ---------------------------
<PAGE>

     Within 30 days after Units have been exercised in accordance with Section
     6.3 hereof, the Company shall pay to the Grantee in cash an amount equal to
     the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date such Units are exercised
     multiplied by the number of Units exercised, less all applicable federal
     and state withholding or other employment taxes applicable to the taxable
     income of such Grantee resulting from such exercise.  In the event of the
     death of such Grantee before payment is made hereunder, such payment shall
     be made to the executor or administrator of such Grantee's estate.

     The foregoing notwithstanding, if any Units granted pursuant to Section
     6.1(a) hereof are exercised within the period ending with the calendar
     month immediately following the month in which the grant was made or if any
     Units granted pursuant to Section 6.1(b.) hereof are exercised during the
     calendar month in which such Units first became exercisable, then the Fair
     Market Value of the Stock of the Company shall be determined by reference
     to its Fair Market Value on the date of such grant.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.3 hereof and the foregoing
     provisions of this Section 6.4, the Committee may in its discretion
     determine that all or a portion of any Units granted pursuant to Section
     6.1(b) shall be automatically exercised and paid as soon as they become
     exercisable and that the value of such Units shall be determined as of the
     date such Units were awarded by the Committee.

Sec. 6.5 NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF UNITS
         ----------------------------

     No Units granted hereunder shall be transferred by a Grantee otherwise than
     by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  During the lifetime of a
     Grantee, such Units shall be exercisable only by him.

Sec. 6.6 EFFECT OF DEATH OR OTHER TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
         --------------------------------------------------

     (a)  If, prior to the date on which any Unit becomes exercisable, the
          Grantee's employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries shall be
          terminated by the Company or Subsidiary with or without cause, or by
          the act of the Grantee, the Grantee's rights to exercise such Units
          shall terminate and all rights thereunder shall cease; provided,
          however, that if the Grantee shall die, retire or become permanently
          and totally disabled, as determined in accordance with applicable
          Company personnel policies, or if the Grantee's employment with the
          Company or its Subsidiaries shall be terminated within two years after
          a Change of Control of the Company and such termination occurs prior
          to a date on which a Unit shall have become exercisable, such Unit
          shall become exercisable in full on the date of such death,
          retirement, disability or termination of employment.
<PAGE>

     (b)  If a Grantee's employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries shall
          be terminated for any reason other than death, retirement or permanent
          total disability, the Grantee shall have the right, during the period
          ending three months after such termination, to exercise such Units to
          the extent that they were exercisable at the date of such termination
          and shall not have been exercised, subject, however, to the provisions
          of Section 6.2 hereof.

     (c)  Upon termination of a Grantee's employment with the Company or its
          Subsidiaries by reason of retirement or permanent total disability, as
          determined in accordance with applicable Company personnel policies,
          such Grantee shall have the right, during the period ending three
          years after such termination, to exercise his Units in full to the
          extent that they shall not have been exercised, subject, however, to
          the provisions of Section 6.2 hereof.

     (d)  If a Grantee shall die while in the employ of the Company or its
          Subsidiaries, or within three months after termination of such
          employment for any reason other than retirement or permanent total
          disability, or within three years after termination of such employment
          by reason of retirement or permanent total disability, the executor or
          administrator of the estate of the decedent or the person or persons
          to whom Units granted hereunder shall have been validly transferred by
          the executor or the administrator pursuant to will or the laws of
          descent and distribution shall have the right, during the period
          ending three years after the date of the Grantee's death, to exercise
          the Grantee's Units (i) in full to the extent that they shall not have
          been exercised, if the Grantee shall have died while in the employ of
          the Company or its Subsidiaries or within three years after
          termination of such employment by reason of retirement or permanent
          total disability, or (ii) to the extent that they were exercisable at
          the date of the Grantee's death and shall not have been exercised, if
          the Grantee shall have died within three months after termination of
          such employment for any reason other than retirement or permanent
          total disability, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 6.2
          hereof.

     (e)  No transfer of Units by a Grantee by will or by the laws of descent
          and distribution shall be effective to bind the Company unless the
          Company shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and an
          authenticated copy of the will and/or such other evidence as the
          Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer
          and the acceptance by the transferee or transferees of the terms and
          conditions of such Units.
