SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated as of the 4^th day of November, 2014 is by and among GREAT LAKES ENVIRONMENTAL AND INFRASTRUCTURE SOLUTIONS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Purchaser”), and MAGNUS PACIFIC CORPORATION, a California corporation (the “Company”) and the sellers identified on Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively, the “Sellers”), (collectively, the “Sellers” and individually, a “Seller”), and, solely for purposes of Section 1.04 and Section 6.02(c), Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“GLDD”). Purchaser and Sellers are herein after referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Company is engaged in the business of environmental remediation, geotechnical construction, demolition, and sediments and wetlands construction (the “Business”);

WHEREAS, Sellers own the respective number and type of shares of the Company set forth on Exhibit A (collectively, the “Shares”);

WHEREAS, Purchaser desires to purchase from Sellers, and Sellers desire to sell to Purchaser, the Shares upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, simultaneously with the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, GLDD and each Seller will enter into a Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (as defined herein); and

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Article IX hereto.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and promises contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE SHARES

Section 1.01. Purchase. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and on the basis of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, at the Closing Purchaser shall purchase, acquire and accept from Sellers, and Sellers shall sell, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to Purchaser, all of the right, title and interests in and to the Shares, free and clear of all Encumbrances.

EXECUTION VERSION

Section 1.02. Purchase Price. The aggregate consideration (the “Purchase Price”) to be paid by Purchaser to Sellers for the Shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Sections 1.03 and 1.04 below, and additional payments as provided in Section 1.05 below, shall be payable as follows (and as provided in Sections 1.03, 1.04 and 1.05):

(a) TWENTY FIVE MILLION and NO/100s DOLLARS ($25,000,000.00), payable at the Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Sellers prior to or at the time of Closing (the “Closing Cash Payment”);

(b) plus or minus, as the case may be, the amount by which the Final Working Capital is less than or greater than the Target Working Capital;

Section 1.03. Adjustments to Purchase Price. For purposes of this Section 1.03, all calculations of the Company’s working capital shall be made in accordance with the calculations set forth on Schedule A attached hereto.

(a) As promptly as practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event later than forty-five (45) calendar days thereafter, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers (i) a balance sheet of the Company setting forth the assets and liabilities of the Company as of the close of business on October 31, 2014, which balance sheet shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP (the “Closing Balance Sheet”). Using the data set forth in such Closing Balance Sheet, promptly following the Closing, Purchaser shall prepare a Closing Date Working Capital Statement of the Company (together with supporting calculations in reasonable detail, the “Closing Date Working Capital Statement”) showing as of October 31, 2014, the working capital of the Company (the “Purchaser’s Final Working Capital Determination”). Purchaser shall complete such Closing Date Working Capital Statement within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date and, upon completion, shall delver a copy to the Seller.

(b) As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the Closing Date Working Capital Statement, Sellers shall notify Purchaser in writing whether it accepts or disputes the accuracy of the Purchaser’s Final Working Capital Determination determined pursuant to Section 1.03(a) above. During such thirty (30) day period, Sellers and their representatives shall be provided with such access to all Files and Records of the Company as they may reasonably request to respond to the Closing Date Working Capital Statement. If Sellers accept the calculation of the Purchaser’s Final Working Capital Determination, determined pursuant to Section 1.03(a) above, or if Sellers fail within such thirty (30) day period to notify Purchaser of any dispute with respect thereto, the calculation of the Purchaser’s Final Working Capital Determination determined pursuant to Section 1.03(a) above, shall be deemed final and conclusive and binding upon all Parties.

(c) If Sellers dispute the calculation of the Purchaser’s Final Working Capital Determination, Sellers shall give timely written notice to Purchaser no later than thirty (30) calendar days following the receipt of the Closing Date Working Capital Statement (the “Dispute Notice”), which Dispute Notice shall specify the reasons for such disagreement, the amounts of any adjustments that are necessary in Sellers’

- 2 -

EXECUTION VERSION

judgment for the computation of the Purchaser’s Final Working Capital Determination to conform to GAAP and the basis for Sellers’ suggested adjustment. If the Parties resolve their differences over the disputed items in accordance with the foregoing procedures, the final determination of the Working Capital Adjustment (as so determined or as determined pursuant to Section 1.03(b), as the case may be, “Final Working Capital”), shall be the amount agreed upon. If the Sellers and Purchaser are unable to resolve the disputed matters outstanding within such thirty (30) day period, all disputed matters raised by Sellers not so resolved shall be submitted to an independent accounting firm mutually agreeable to Sellers and Purchaser (the “Independent Auditor”), for final resolution in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The Sellers and Purchaser shall use their respective Best Efforts to cause the Independent Auditor to make its determination as soon as possible, but in no event later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of the disputed matters. Such determination shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Parties hereto. The Independent Auditor’s determination shall be limited to matters of dispute which are raised by the Sellers. In no event shall the Independent Auditor’s determination of the Final Working Capital be greater than Sellers’ determination pursuant to Section 1.03(a) or less than Purchaser’s’ determination pursuant to Section 1.03(b). The Independent Auditor’s resolution of any such disagreement shall be reflected in a written report, which shall be delivered promptly to the Sellers and Purchaser. All fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of the Independent Auditor shall be paid by the party with whose determination the Independent Auditor does not agree; provided, however, that if the Independent Auditor’s determination represents a compromise between the determination of Sellers and Purchaser, then each party shall pay an allocable share of such fees and disbursements with such allocation to be calculated by reference to the difference between the numbers suggested by each of the Parties as compared with the Final Working Capital amount determined by the Independent Auditor. Any payment to be made as a consequence of the Independent Auditor’s decision shall be made, free and clear of any deductions, not later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of such report by the Sellers and Purchaser.

(d) Payment by Purchaser. In the event that the amount of the Final Working Capital is greater than the Target Working Capital, then Purchaser shall, within five (5) calendar days after the determination thereof, pay to Sellers an amount equal to such difference, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Sellers.

(e) Payment by Sellers. In the event that the Final Working Capital is less than the Target Working Capital, then the Purchaser shall be entitled to a set off against the Note described in Section 1.04 for the amount of such difference.

Section 1.04. Note.

For purposes of this Section 1.04, all EBITDA calculations shall be determined within sixty (60) days after the applicable year end, and shall include only the Business, and shall be calculated in accordance with Schedule B attached hereto.

- 3 -

EXECUTION VERSION

(a) In addition to the payments set forth in Section 1.03 above, GLDD will issue to the Sellers a promissory note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Note”) in a value to be determined by utilizing the following formula: the Company’s 2014 EBITDA minus, Twelve Million and NO/100s Dollars ($12,000,000.00) multiplied by two (2). The Note shall bear interest at five percent (5%) per annum, which shall begin to accrue on January 1, 2015, and shall continue to accrue until payment of the second installment as set forth in Section 1.04(c) below.

(b) In the event the Company does not in calendar year 2015 obtain a minimum EBITDA of $14,720,000.00 (“Minimum 2015 EBITDA”), [*], the value of the Note will be reduced by the sum the following amounts: (i) [*] and (ii) an amount equal to number of dollars by which the actual 2015 EBITDA was below the Minimum 2015 EBITDA, calculated on a dollar for dollar basis.

Section 1.05. Earn-Out Consideration.

For purposes of this Section 1.05, all EBITDA calculations shall include both the Business and the business of Terra Contracting Services, LLC (“Terra”), and shall be calculated in accordance with Schedule B attached hereto.

(a) In addition to the payments set forth in Section 1.03 and 1.04 above, Purchaser will pay to Sellers, assuming certain conditions set forth in (b) below are satisfied, an additional payment in an amount up to [*] (the “Earnout Payment”), provided, however, that such amount shall not exceed Eleven Million Four Hundred Thousand and NO/100s Dollars ($11,400,000.00). References to “EBITDA of Purchaser” shall mean the combined EBITDA from both the Business and Terra.

(b) Any amounts received by Sellers pursuant to (a) above will be adjusted based on the value of the EBITDA of Purchaser as of December 31, 2019 (the “2019 EBITDA of Purchaser”). Sellers shall receive the full value of the Earnout Payment provided that the 2019 EBITDA of Purchaser meets or exceeds [*] (the “2019 EBITDA Target”). In the event the 2019 EBITDA of Purchaser does not meet the 2019 EBITDA Target, the Earnout Payment shall be reduced in an amount proportional to the amount by which the 2019 EBITDA of Purchaser was below the 2019 EBITDA Target.

- 4 -

EXECUTION VERSION

(c) Any Earnout Payments made pursuant to this Section 1.05 shall be paid in either cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Seller Representative, or common shares of stock of GLDD (“GLDD Stock”), in the sole election and in the sole discretion of Purchaser, and shall be paid on March 31, 2020. Any GLDD Stock paid to the Sellers pursuant to this Section 1.05 shall be valued at the GLDD Stock per share value as of March 31, 2020.

Section 1.06. Allocation of Purchase Price. The Allocation of Purchase Price Schedule attached hereto as Schedule C sets forth the preliminary allocation of the Purchase Price among the Company’s assets (the “Preliminary Allocation”). Purchaser and Sellers shall file, in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code, an Asset Allocation Statement on Form 8594 (which reflects such allocation) with their federal income Tax Return for the Tax year in which the Closing Date occurs and shall contemporaneously provide the other Parties hereto with a copy of the Form 8594 being filed. The Parties hereto agree that the Preliminary Allocation shall be modified to reflect any adjustments made pursuant to this Agreement or the payment of any indemnification claims by Sellers pursuant to Article VI as mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and Sellers in good faith (and, if applicable, consistent with the prior allocation of similar items). The Parties shall file an amendment to Form 8594 to reflect any adjustments made to the Preliminary Allocation as provided in this Section 1.06. Purchaser and Sellers agree not to assert, in connection with any Tax Return, audit or similar proceeding, any allocation of the Purchase Price that differs from the allocation set forth on the Allocation of Purchase Price Schedule herein.

Section 1.07. Section 338(h)(10) Election.

(a) Sellers and Purchaser shall jointly make a timely election pursuant to Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and Section 1.338(h)(10)-1 of the United States Treasury Regulations, any comparable election under applicable state or local Law (collectively, the “Tax Treatment Election”) with respect to the purchase by Purchaser of the Shares. In addition, Sellers and Purchaser shall, as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date, cooperate with each other to take all actions necessary and appropriate (including such additional forms, returns, elections, schedules and other documents as may be required by applicable state or local Law) to effect and preserve a timely Tax Treatment Election in accordance with any comparable provisions of applicable Law, and the Parties responsible for filing any such Tax Treatment Election under applicable Law shall promptly file or cause to be filed such Tax Treatment Election with the appropriate Taxing authority and provide written evidence of such filing to the other Parties. Sellers and Purchaser shall report the purchase by Purchaser of the Shares consistent with the Tax Treatment Election and the allocation as set forth on Allocation of Purchase Price Schedule and no party shall take (and prior to the Closing Sellers shall not permit the Company to take, and after the Closing the Company shall not take) any position contrary thereto in any Tax Return, any proceeding before any Tax authority or otherwise. In the event that any Tax Treatment Election is disputed by any Tax authority, the party receiving notice of such dispute shall promptly notify and consult with the other party concerning such dispute.

- 5 -

EXECUTION VERSION

(b) If it is determined by a finding or order in connection with any governmental or judicial audit or proceeding, including any settlement of such a proceeding to which any of the Parties hereto are parties (but only if the requirements of Section 10.03 have been satisfied, unless the failure to satisfy such requirements is not materially prejudicial to Sellers), that the Company’s S election was not validly in effect for any period after such election was purportedly made (including the period ending on the Closing Date, but excluding any periods commencing with the Closing), then Sellers shall be obligated, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and the Company with respect to (i) any and all Taxes imposed on the Company due to such invalid election or pre-Closing termination of the Company’s S Corporation status and (ii)(a) any and all Taxes imposed on the Company due to an invalid Tax Treatment Election caused by the invalid election or the pre-Closing termination of the Company’s S status resulting in the disallowance of any and all Tax benefits, including, but not limited to, the disallowance of deductions and losses that otherwise could have been available pursuant to a valid Tax Treatment Election and (b) the net present value of any and all future Tax benefits, including, but not limited to, deductions and losses that were disallowed that the Company could reasonably have expected to realize in subsequent periods as the result of a valid Tax Treatment Election (with such expectation to be measured based on circumstances as of the Closing Date), using a discount rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum from the date upon which such Tax benefits were disallowed through the date the Company could reasonably have expected to realize such Tax benefits (with such expectation to be measured based on circumstances as of the Closing Date). Such payment shall be made in accordance with Section 8.01. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the provisions of this Section shall remain in effect as personal obligations of Sellers on a joint and several basis until the applicable statutes of limitations shall have expired and shall not be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.07.

Section 1.08. Fair Consideration. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the consideration provided for in this Article I represents fair consideration and reasonable equivalent value for the sale and transfer of the Shares and the transactions, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement and the Related Agreements, which consideration was agreed upon as the result of arms-length good faith negotiations among the Parties and their respective representatives.
