DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Each director who is not an employee of the Company received an annual
retainer of $5,000 and fees of $1,000 per meeting of the Board or a committee
thereof (other than any committee meeting held in conjunction with a meeting
of the Board). In addition, each director is entitled to reimbursement for
reasonable expenses incurred in attending Board or committee meetings or the
discharge of any special projects assigned to a director by the Board. In
April 1997, the Board approved The York Group, Inc. Non-Employee Director
Cash and Equity Compensation Plan (the "Director Compensation Plan"). The
Director Compensation Plan allows each non-employee director to receive the
annual retainer and meeting fees in cash, shares of Company stock, or
one-half in cash and one-half in shares of Company stock. The Director
Compensation Plan also allows each non-employee director to receive the
annual retainer and meeting fees currently, or to defer such fees until such
director ceases to be a director or upon death or disability. In addition,
directors who (i) are not, or have not been, employees of the Company, and
(ii) do not receive remuneration, directly or indirectly, from the Company,
will receive automatic grants of nonqualified stock options under the
Company's 1996 Independent Director Stock Option Plan. These directors
receive an option to purchase 5,000 shares upon their initial election to the
Board and an option to purchase 2,500 shares upon each reelection to the
Board, up to a maximum aggregate limit of options to purchase 15,000 shares
under the Company's 1996 Independent Director Stock Option Plan.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

During fiscal 2000, no member of the Committee was an officer or employee of
the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or was formerly an officer of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries, except Mr. Nuss who served as President
and Chief Executive Officer of the Company until October 1996.


                                       4

No executive officer of the Company served as (i) a member of the
compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent
functions) of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on the
Committee, (ii) a director of another entity, one of whose executive officers
served on the Committee, or (iii) a member of the compensation committee (or
other board committee performing equivalent functions) of another entity, one
of whose executive officers served as a director of the Company.

EMPLOYMENT ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has executed an agreement with Mr. Crawford which provides that
if Mr. Crawford's employment is terminated without cause during the first
twenty-four months of his employment, he is entitled to a continuation of his
salary for 12 months after such termination.

The Company has executed change of control agreements with its executive
officers, including, Messrs. Crawford, Monteleone, and Turner and Ms. Matson,
which agreements have a term of two years.  The agreements provide that in
the event of a change of control of the Company (as defined in the
agreements), if the executive is terminated without good cause (as defined in
the agreements) or he or she voluntarily terminates for good reason (as
defined in the agreements) within one year of the change of control, he or
she will be entitled to (i) a lump-sum payment equal to a multiple (Mr.
Crawford: three times (3x); Messrs. Monteleone and Turner and Ms. Matson: one
times (1x)) of his or her base salary in the year immediately preceding the
termination and (ii) continuation of health care and life insurance benefits
for one year following the termination.  The agreements also provide that the
executive will be paid an additional amount which when added to the lump sum
payment will place the executive in the same after-tax position as if any
excise tax imposed by the Internal Revenue Code did not apply to any of the
amounts payable under the agreement.

The Company executed retention agreements with Messrs. Monteleone and Turner
and Ms. Matson.  The agreements provide that if the executive's employment was
terminated without cause prior to December 31, 2000, he or she would have been
entitled to (i) salary continuation for six (6) months, and (ii) except in the
event of a voluntary termination, a bonus equal to a specified percentage of
his or her 1999 salary prorated with respect to date of termination.  The
bonus percentages for Ms. Matson, Mr. Turner and Mr. Monteleone were 40%, 30%
and 25%, respectively.  The executive was also entitled to a minimum bonus
equal to the specified percentage of his or her 2000 salary (Ms. Matson: 25%,
Mr. Turner: 25%; and Mr. Monteleone 15%) if the executive remained employed by
the Company at the time the 2000 executive bonuses were awarded by the Company.
