Amendment of Employment Agreement with Michael J. Kasbar

Effective as of March 30, 2012, World Fuel Services Corporation (the “Company”) and Michael J. Kasbar amended the employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Kasbar, dated as of March 14, 2008, as previously amended, in order to extend the expiration date from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016. The expiration of Mr. Kasbar’s employment agreement is now scheduled to coincide with the end of the performance period applicable to a special grant of performance-based restricted shares of Company common stock, which the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved on March 30, 2012.

Furthermore, Mr. Kasbar’s employment agreement was also amended to remove the provision stating that his current annual base salary is $750,000.  Going forward, Mr. Kasbar’s base salary will be determined by the Compensation Committee from time to time.  In connection with establishing Mr. Kasbar's 2012 incentive-based compensation program, Mr. Kasbar voluntarily agreed that his 2012 annual base salary would be reduced to $575,000 from $750,000.
