Background – Professional Robert is a dedicated and highly skilled professional

with 33 years of international project execution experience. He has designed and engineered complex plants and facilities in the chemical (including petrochemical) plastics, offshore oil & gas, mining, power and pharmaceutical industries. He has broad leadership experience in internationally recognized and established engineering and construction companies in the U.S., The Netherlands, and in Australia. He is skilled in today's best available information technologies, including analysis and design tools used by engineering professionals. Robert is recognized as a valuable mentor, change agent and consultant in the Engineering and Construction software industry.

Large Projects – 1 of 4Fluor Petrochemical Project: Rayong Refinery Project, Royal Dutch

Shell- Map Ta Phut, Thailand - 1994-1995

Role: Structural Overall Plant Design Coordinator - 3D PDS in Haarlem, The Netherlands

Fluor provided engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning services for the Rayong Refinery Company's grassroots refinery project in Rayong Province, Thailand. This complex 145,000 BPSD refinery supports the Royal Thai Government's need for additional petroleum products for Thailand's rapid economic expansion. Fluor engineered and designed the off-sites, utilities, tank farm, interconnecting pipeways, jetties/topsides, the power plant (a 97MW power plant is included with the refinery), hydrogen plant and hydrocracker.

Fluor's ability to program manage joint venture projects and to provide expertise across all disciplines allowed us to successfully complete the project three months ahead of schedule. The project was awarded Thailand's National Safety Award for construction, which recognized the project as the safest construction site in Thailand. The lost-time frequency rate was 0.03 per 200,000 hours worked. Thus this Fluor project in Thailand was 40 times more safe than the U.S. construction industry average.

Large Projects – 1 of 4 (cont’d)Our Rayong Refinery Project incorporated the highest level of automation capabilities of any project in the oil and gas industry, thereby streamlining efficiency.

Challenges: The Rayong Refinery Project was a workshare project between the Fluor Haarlem and Fluor Irvine offices, and Badgers in The Hague, The Netherlands. Badgers was the main contractor. Worksharing was a relatively new concept, and this was a very large project, the largest that has been executed ever using 3D PDS. There were many innovative solutions made to make transfer of 3d models and materials between all workshare partners possible, including the timely transfer of critical data to the site in Thailand.

Large Projects – 2 of 4Fluor Mining Project: Mount Isa Mines "Copper Smelter

Upgrade" & "Acid Plant Gas Handling Projects" - Mt.Isa, QLD/Aus. – 1998

Role: Overall Plant Design Coordinator - 3D PDS / Senior Design Engineer in Brisbane & Melbourne, Australia

The purpose of the CSU Project is to increase the capacity of the copper smelter approximately to 270,000 tpa, to process chalcopyrite concentrates from the existing Mount Isa Operations and the additional chalcopyrite concentrates from the Ernest Henry Mine (near Cloncurry). Production capacity increase will be achieved by: Incorporating feed preparation/materials handling capability Increasing copper converter capacity Increasing anode casting capacity Improving gas handling capability Increased oxygen capacity Eliminating AQC (Air Quality Control) time by using SO2 gases

Page 8: Linked In Pres R Toet Rev2

Large Projects – 2 of 4 (cont’d) The Acid Plant Gas Handling Project involves the installation of a

gas extraction system from MIM's Isasmelt copper smelter and converters to make available SO2 rich gas to a sulfuric acid production plant.

The Mount Isa copper smelter was expanded in 1998 to a capacity of over 250000 t/y anode copper. This tonnage will be produced from a single stream consisting of an Isasmelt smelting furnace, and four Peirce-Smith converters - one of which was installed as part of the expansion project. During the course of the expansion project Mount Isa Mines Limited (MIM) signed an agreement with WMC Fertilizers Ltd (WMCF) to supply sulphur containing smelter gases over the fence to a new sulphuric acid plant to be built by WMCF. This will result in a further increase in copper production by reducing the time when smelting is curtailed by Air Quality Control restrictions.

Page 9: Linked In Pres R Toet Rev2

Large Projects – 2 of 4 (cont’d)As well as the need to modify the primary gas system to connect to the acid plant, the hoods and crossover ducts and their support structures on the original three converters required replacement, and secondary ventilation was also needed to improve converter aisle hygiene. Each of these areas were addressed by the project. Preliminary ideas for carrying out the modifications were found to have a serious impact on converter aisle operations, and would have led to a production loss of over 50000 tonnes of copper. Following benchmarking in other copper smelters, a suitable construction plan was developed and carried out to minimize this loss.

Challenges: Fluor had to share the engineering work of the Copper Smelter Upgrade project with a company called "Mamic", which were former Mt. Isa Mines (MIM) employees, also housed in the Fluor Brisbane office. The Acid Plant Gas Handling (APGH) project started in Melbourne office before the Copper Smelter Upgrade project was completed. I was assigned to coordinate both projects from a 3-d design standpoint and brought them to a successful completion.

Large Projects – 3 of 4Fluor Chemicals Project: "Kodak China Program" - Haicang, China

- 1997-1999

Role: Plant Design Coordinator for Area 7B - 3D PDS / Senior Design Engineer in Marlton, NJ & Manila/FDIP, The Philippines

Eastman Kodak contracted Fluor Daniel to provide engineering, procurement, construction management and partial commissioning services for a film production facility in Xiamen, Fujian, China. Those facilities, or projects as outlined below, consisting of a combination of film and paper sensitizing, film and paper finishing, packaging and shipment, the utility systems and site infrastructure required to support the operation were constructed in two phases and three separate locations, namely Xiamen, Shantou and Haicang. The last and largest is at Haicang, outside the city of Xiamen. The totality of these projects is referred to as the Kodak China Program.

The initial phase involved remodeling and refurbishment of an acquired existing photographic material plant (formerly FUDA) located in Xiamen. The refurbishment of the Xiamen facility allowed EK to finish and package film and paper products. The refurbished plant is principally an interim facility until the large grass-roots facility at Haicang begins production.

Page 11: Linked In Pres R Toet Rev2

Large Projects – 3 of 4 (cont’d) Refurbishment projects at the Shantou site (formerly ERA) allow

EK to sensitize and finish X-ray films well into the future. As of October 2000, all three facilities are in full production with

only minor close-out activities remaining. Total capital budget for the program was US$798MM with final cost realized being under US$790MM for all three sites.

Challenges: Worksharing between Marlton, Greenville and Manila. Worksharing was a relatively new concept, and this was a large program. I was responsible for transferring a portion of the total scope to the Manila office, which included systems setup and training of local personnel, etc. This project received the 2000 Hugh Coble Project Excellence Award.

Large Projects – 4 of 4Fluor Power Project: E.ON-U.S. "Kentucky Utilities SO2

Compliance Program“- Ghent Station, KY - 2005-2009

Roles: Project Engineer (Ghent program) & Engineering Manager (Ghent unit 2) in Greenville, SC

Est. over $800mil for 3x FGDs for 3 units & a new Limestone conveying system at the Ghent Station (est. $500mill), and 1x FGD for 3 units at Brown Station (est. $300mil). A technically advanced Wet Limestone Forced Oxidation Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) process system was chosen by Kentucky Utilities for application at both the Ghent and Brown Stations. The FGD process is expected to reduce SO2 emissions by 98% or more.

Technology partner is Babcock Power Environmental Inc. (BPEI). Fluor have a potential to do a Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) for unit 3 at Brown, and unit 2 at Ghent in the near future.

Challenges: One of the biggest challenges with erecting in and around this facility is the fact that it is a highly congested plant sandwiched between State Highway 42 and the Ohio River. Cranes operate only several feet from the river bank retaining wall
