T-3 ENERGY SERVICES
2002 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
SECTION 1
GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO
PLAN GOVERNANCE, COVERAGE AND BENEFITS
1.1
Background and Purpose
T-3 Energy
Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ T-3
”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of
May 7, 2001, and as subsequently amended, by and among T-3,
Industrial Holdings, Inc., a Texas corporation (“ IHI
”), and First Reserve Fund VIII, Limited Partnership, a
Delaware limited partnership (the “ Merger Agreement
”).
Pursuant to the
Merger Agreement, the parties entered into a business combination
effected by a merger of T-3 into IHI, as a result of which the
separate existence of T-3 ceased and IHI was the surviving
corporation (the “ Merger ”). Immediately after
the consummation of the Merger, IHI merged into a Delaware
corporation which was a wholly owned subsidiary of IHI, and the
subsidiary survived and its name was changed to T-3 Energy
Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company
”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the outstanding options
to purchase T-3 Common Stock (collectively, the “ T-3
Options ”) were converted into stock options to purchase
shares of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to an exchange
formula set forth in the Merger Agreement.
T-3 had previously
adopted the “T-3 Energy Services, Inc. 2000 Stock Option
Plan” (the “ T-3 Plan ”). IHI had
previously adopted the “Industrial Holdings, Inc. 1998
Incentive Plan” (the “ IHI 1998 Plan ”)
and the “Industrial Holdings, Inc. 1994 Amended and Restated
Incentive Stock Plan” (the “ IHI 1994 Plan
”).
The outstanding
T-3 Options at the time of the Merger were assumed under the IHI
1998 Plan at such time. Coincident with the assumption of the
outstanding T-3 Options under the IHI 1998 Plan, the T-3 Plan was
merged into the IHI 1998 Plan but only to the extent necessary for
the purpose of construing the applicable terms and conditions of
the individual stock option agreements for the outstanding T-3
Options to the extent that specific terms of such agreements
incorporate particular provisions of the T-3 Plan by
reference.
The Company
amended and restated the IHI Plan under the form of the plan
document entitled “T-3 Energy Services 2002 Stock Incentive
Plan” (the “ Plan ”), effective as of
January 1, 2002 (the “ Original Effective Date
”), to reflect the reorganization of the plan sponsor and to
incorporate various other amendments for the benefit of the Company
and the participants in the Plan.
Effective as of
the Original Effective Date, the outstanding stock options under
the IHI 1994 Plan (the “ IHI 1994 Options ”)
were assumed under the Plan. Coincident with the assumption of the
outstanding IHI 1994 Options under the Plan, the IHI 1994 Plan was
merged into the Plan but only to the extent necessary for the
purpose of construing the applicable terms and conditions of the
individual stock option agreements for the outstanding IHI 1994
Options to
1
the extent that
specific terms of such agreements incorporate particular provisions
of the IHI 1994 Plan by reference.
As of the Original
Effective Date, all outstanding stock options that were previously
granted by T-3 and IHI and assumed and continued under the Plan, as
amended and restated, were made subject to the applicable terms and
conditions of the Plan, as it may further be amended, and the
individual stock option agreements for each such option
grant.
The Company again
amended and restated the Plan under the form of the plan document
entitled “T-3 Energy Services 2002 Stock Incentive
