ARTICLE II.  GENERAL

2.1       Name
          ----

This Plan shall be known as the "Fluor Corporation 2000 Restricted Stock Plan
for Non-Employee Directors".

2.2       Purpose
          -------

The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and its
stockholders by affording to Eligible Directors of the Company an opportunity to
acquire or increase their proprietary interest in the Company by the grant to
such directors of Awards under the terms set forth herein.  By encouraging non-
employee directors to become owners of Company shares, the Company seeks to
increase their incentive for enhancing stockholder value and to motivate, retain
and attract those highly competent individuals upon whose judgment, initiative,
leadership and continued efforts the success of the Company in large measure
depends.  The Plan also permits Shares to be issuable upon vesting or
satisfaction of restricted stock and restricted unit

                                       2
<PAGE>

awards that were assumed by the Company in connection with the distribution of
the Company's common stock (the "Distribution") to the stockholders of Massey
Energy Company, which prior to the distribution was known as Fluor Corporation
("Old Fluor").

2.3       Effective Date
          --------------

The Plan shall become effective upon its approval by Old Fluor, as sole
stockholder of the Company.

2.4       Limitations
          -----------

Subject to adjustment pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.1 hereof, the
aggregate number of shares of Stock which may be issued as Awards shall not
exceed 120,000.  Any such shares may be either authorized and unissued shares or
shares issued and thereafter acquired by the Company.

2.5       Awards Granted under Plan
          -------------------------

For purposes of Section 2.4, the aggregate number of shares of Stock issued
under this Plan at any time shall equal only the number of shares actually
issued pursuant to all Awards and shall not count any shares returned to the
Company upon cancellation, expiration or forfeiture of an Award or delivered
(either actually or by attestation) in payment or satisfaction of the tax
obligation of an Award.

or elected to the Board.  The Committee shall grant to each Eligible Director
that is a member of the Board during all or any portion of each calendar year
during the term of the Plan a Restricted Stock Award, which shall

                                       4

be granted on a date determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. The
number of shares of Stock subject to a one-time Restricted Stock Award shall be
set by the Committee but shall not exceed 1,500 and the number of shares of
Stock subject to an annual Restricted Stock Award shall be set by the Committee
but shall not exceed 750.

An Assumed Award is a restricted stock grant, restricted stock unit or other
equity-based arrangement that was granted by Old Fluor to its non-employee
directors for their service as such and assumed by the Company in connection
with the Distribution, as adjusted or amended pursuant to the terms thereof.
Assumed Awards may be settled with Stock authorized and issued under this Plan.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Plan and except as
provided in this sentence, the terms of Assumed Awards shall be subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in the grant agreement and/or other document(s)
evidencing such Award and, to the extent provided therein, to terms equivalent
to the terms of the plan under which such Award was originally granted;
provided, however, that all Assumed Awards shall be administered by the
Committee, which shall have the power and authority provided for in Section 4 of
this Plan.

5.2       Restricted Stock Agreement
          --------------------------

Each Award granted hereunder must be granted within ten years from the effective
date of the Plan.  The Awardee shall be entitled to receive the Stock subject to
such Award only if the Company and the Awardee, within the time period specified
by the Committee, enter into a written Restricted Stock Agreement dated as of
the date of the Award, which Agreement shall set forth such terms and conditions
as may be determined by the Committee consistent with the Plan.

5.3       Restrictions on Sale or Other Transfer
          --------------------------------------

Each share of Stock granted under a Restricted Stock Award shall be subject to
acquisition by the Company, and may not be sold or otherwise transferred except
pursuant to the following provisions:

     (a)  The shares of Stock represented by the Restricted Stock Agreement
          shall be held in book entry form with the Company's transfer agent
          until the restrictions lapse in accordance with the conditions
          established by the Committee pursuant to Section 5.4 hereof, or until
          the shares of Stock are forfeited pursuant to paragraph (c) of this
          Section 5.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Awardee may request
          that, prior to the lapse of the restrictions or forfeiture of the
          shares, certificates evidencing such shares be issued in his name and
          delivered to him, and each such certificate shall bear the following
          legend:

               "The shares of Fluor Corporation common stock evidenced by this
               certificate are subject to acquisition by Fluor Corporation, and
               such shares may not be sold or otherwise transferred except
               pursuant to the provisions of the Restricted Stock Agreement by
               and between Fluor Corporation and the registered owner of such
               shares."

     (b)  No such shares may be sold, transferred or otherwise alienated or
          hypothecated so long as such shares are subject to the restriction
          provided for in this Section 5.3.

<PAGE>

     (c)  All of the Awardee's Restricted Stock remaining subject to any
          restriction hereunder shall be forfeited to, and be acquired at no
          cost by, the Company in the event that the Committee determines that
          any of the following circumstances has occurred:

            (i)     the Awardee has engaged in knowing and willful misconduct in
                    connection with his or her service as a member of the Board;

            (ii)    the Awardee, without the consent of the Committee, at any
                    time during his or her period of service as a member of the
                    Board, becomes a principal of, serves as a director of, or
                    owns a material interest in, any business that directly or
                    through a controlled subsidiary competes with the Company or
                    any Subsidiary; or

            (iii)   the Awardee does not stand for reelection to, or voluntarily
                    quits or resigns from, the Board for any reason, except
                    under circumstances that would cause such restrictions to
                    lapse under Section 5.4.

          lapse to the extent of 20% of the number of shares subject to such
          Award on such date as shall be designated by the Committee and
          thereafter, the restrictions on the remaining shares subject to such
          Award will lapse in four equal increments on the succeeding
          anniversary dates following the date of lapsing of restrictions on the
          first 20% of the shares.

     (b)  Unless provided otherwise by the Committee, the restrictions imposed
          under Section 5.3 above upon an annual Restricted Stock Award shall
          lapse once such Restricted Stock is held by the Awardee for at least

          the Company and any of the following occurs:

               (i)    the Awardee attains the Age for Board Retirement or

                      with Section 5.5;

               (ii)   the Awardee dies or becomes permanently and totally
                      disabled; or

     (c)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may provide that the
          restrictions imposed under Section 5.3 will lapse over or upon
          satisfaction of a fewer number of years of service on the Board of the
          Company, except that the Committee may not provide for full lapsing of
          all such restrictions for less than three (3) years service on the
          Board of the Company, other than upon the Awardee's retirement, death
          or disability, or upon a Change of Control.
