The composition of Board committees is reviewed and re-determined each year at the initial meeting of the Board after the annual meeting of shareholders. During 2008, each of the Company&#146;s incumbent directors attended at least 75% of the

paid in the marine construction industry. Mr.&nbsp;Chauvin, our chief executive officer, attends the committee&#146;s meetings, assists in the committee&#146;s evaluation of executive officer performance (other than himself), and recommends the
specific elements and amounts of compensation to be paid to the other executive officers. Mr.&nbsp;Chauvin is not present or otherwise involved when the committee reviews his performance and develops recommendations regarding his compensation.

scheduled meetings at the end of each fiscal year to review the performance of the Company and its executives, although the 2008 year-end meeting was re-scheduled to February 2009. This meeting is generally scheduled approximately one year in
advance, and is scheduled to fall within a window period in which directors and officers are permitted to trade following the release of the Company&#146;s earnings for the third quarter of the year. At this meeting, all compensation decisions and
recommendations are made, including recommendations regarding base salaries of the executive officers and the adoption of a cash incentive program for the following fiscal year, and determining whether any equity awards will be made. To the extent
stock options or restricted stock are awarded in a given year, the grant is made by the committee at this meeting, and the exercise price of any options granted is determined by reference to the closing price of our Common Stock on the date of the
meeting. The committee has not delegated authority to any officer to grant equity awards, and has not typically granted equity awards to new hires or other employees at other times during the year. </FONT></P> <P

but has adopted an annual incentive compensation program that ties a portion of executive compensation to the annual performance of the Company. Under this program, the Company&#146;s executive officers are paid bonuses equal to a specified
percentage of the Company&#146;s income before taxes and before deduction of the executive bonuses based on each officer&#146;s level of responsibility. In December 2007, our Compensation Committee recommended the percentages to be received by
Messrs. Chauvin, Meche, Seibert, Blanchard and Ikdal for 2008 at 1.00%, .45%, .25%, .089% and .08%, respectively, and provided that Mr.&nbsp;Blanchard would also receive .47% of Gulf Island, L.L.C.&#146;s and Mr.&nbsp;Ikdal would also receive .34%

under the Company&#146;s 2002 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The committee has utilized restricted stock as a long-term incentive vehicle for the past three years. The committee decided to grant shares of restricted stock after a general review of the
compensation practices of its competitors and peers in the marine construction industry and after consideration of the accounting treatment of stock options following the Company&#146;s adoption of FASB Statement 123R. The restricted stock grants
are intended to reinforce the relationship between compensation and increases in the market price of the Common Stock and to align the executive officers&#146; financial interests with that of the Company&#146;s shareholders. The size of awards was
based upon the position of each participating officer and the committee&#146;s subjective assessment of each participant&#146;s individual performance. The restricted stock granted in February 2009 vests in annual 20% increments, beginning on the
first anniversary of the date of grant and dividends will be paid on the restricted stock to the same extent dividends are paid on unrestricted shares of our Common Stock. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;

exclusion from the deduction limitation under Section&nbsp;162(m). The committee intends to continue to establish executive officer compensation programs that will maximize the Company&#146;s income tax deduction, assuming the committee determines
that such actions are consistent with its philosophy and in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

Pursuant to the terms of our stock incentive plans and the agreements thereunder, in the event of a change in control of the Company, all outstanding stock options will become exercisable and the restrictions on all shares of restricted stock will
lapse. The following table quantifies the benefits to our named executive officers assuming a change in control on December&nbsp;31, 2008, namely the value of the restricted stock that would have vested, based on the closing market price on such
date ($14.41). Each of our named executive officers, except Mr.&nbsp;Ikdal, holds a stock option with an exercise price of $21.85, a portion of which would vest upon a change of control. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, the exercise price of this

Aransas, and permitted Aransas and its affiliates, including Technip, to recommend a director for nomination to the Company&#146;s Board. Mr.&nbsp;John Wishart, currently a director of the Company, was recommended for nomination by Aransas.
