Schiedsvertrag entered into by Employee and S&H Verwatltungsgesellschaft mbH,
dated December 17, 1999 (together the "Old Employment Agreements), and the
parties desire to terminate the Old Employment Agreements and enter into a new
agreement (the "Agreement") based on the terms and conditions set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and obligations
hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:

1.  TERMINATION OF OLD EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT. The parties agree that the Old
Employee Agreements shall be terminated concurrently with the effective date of
this Agreement and shall be of no further force or effect. The parties hereto
waive and release all rights they may have under the Old Employment Agreements
as of the effective date hereof.

2.  EMPLOYMENT AND DUTIES. Employer employs Employee in an executive capacity

          orderly transition of Employee's business responsibilities at
          Schoeller & Hoesch. Employee shall not remain in Germany for longer
          than 10 consecutive working days during the March 1, 2001 - August
          1, 2001 transition time-frame.

3.  CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. This Agreement is contingent upon the Employee's
medical and other necessary clearances through the U.S. Immigration and

and all necessary visa and/or work permits required by Employee and to cover
Employee's costs in obtaining the appropriate work permits or visas for
Employee as well as Employee's spouse and dependents.

4.  COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS. During the term of this Agreement, Employer
shall pay Employee a salary at the base rate of $ 199,224, and other benefits

5.  EXTENT OF SERVICES. Employee shall devote his entire attention and
energy to the business and affairs of Employer and shall not be engaged in any
other business activity, whether or not such business activity is pursued for
gain, profit or other pecuniary advantage, unless Employer consents to
Employee's involvement in such business activity in writing. This restriction
shall not be construed as preventing

<PAGE>

Employee from investing his assets in a form or manner that will not require
Employee's services in the operation of any of the companies in which such
investments are made.

6.  TERM. Unless earlier terminated, this Agreement shall run from March 1,
2001 until June 30, 2004, subject to the following:

     a) DEATH. If Employee's employment terminates by reason of his death,
     Employer shall only be obligated to make the payments required under its
     Pension Plan as amended from time to time in addition to salary and
     benefits due to employee up to the date of Employee's death.

     b) DISABILITY. In the event Employee should suffer a disability that is
     determined to qualify him for benefits under the short and/or long- term
     disability plan or program maintained by Employer for salaried employees
     (as applicable, the "Disability Plan"), Employee shall be paid, during
     the period of time he is determined to so disabled and qualified for
     benefits under the Disability Plan but not in excess of twelve (12)

     the time his disability commenced and (ii) the benefit paid from the
     Disability Plan (including other income benefits, if any, taken into
     account in determining the Disability Plan's benefit) for the same period
     of time.

7.  SEVERANCE. If Employer terminates Employee's employment prior to June
30, 2004, Employee's base salary will be paid until the expiration of this
Agreement (June 30, 2004), and for the following 12 calendar months, however,
subject to the following:

     performance of Employee's duties, incompetence, insubordination, gross
     negligence, violation of any express direction, violation of any rule or
     regulation established by Employer from time to time or breach of any
     covenant contained in this Employment Agreement, no further compensation
     will be paid.

     b)  CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT: If the Employee has entered into a Change
     in Control Employment Agreement ("Change in Control Agreement") with the

     time following a Change in Control (as defined in the Change in Control
     Agreement) or as the result of employment termination by reason of a
     Change in Control, the obligation of the Employer to pay base salary in
     the event of severance under this Paragraph shall be reduced dollar for
     dollar by the amount of base salary payable for the same period of time
     under the Change in Control Agreement.

If Employee resigns or voluntarily terminates his employment prior to June 30,
2004, the payment of his salary and any associated benefits will stop as of the
date of the termination.

payment equal to five (5) months base salary, with no further accrual of nor

Mr. Robert L. Miller
600 Robin Hill Circle
York, PA 17404

               Re:    Employment Agreement

Dear Bob:

     This letter will set forth the basis of your continuing employment at the
P. H. Glatfelter Company (the "Company"). This letter is intended as a
confidential statement of your employment arrangement with the Company and
supersedes all prior understandings and agreements whether written or oral. The
terms of your Employment Agreement, which are contingent on your execution of
the General Release Agreement attached hereto, are as follows:

     1.  Effective as of June 2000, you had been promoted to the position
of Vice President - Special Projects, reporting to the President of the
Company. You have accepted and you hereby continue to accept such employment
and agree to serve the Company on a full-time basis and to perform your duties
faithfully, diligently and to the best of your ability. Through February 28,
2002, you further agree to fully cooperate with the officers and directors of
the Company to the best of your ability and not to engage in outside for profit
business or commercial activity without the prior written consent of the
President of the Company.

     2.  You will be employed as Vice President - Special Projects through
September 30, 2001, unless your position terminates earlier under the
circumstances described below. Thereafter, you will be put on a paid leave of
absence lasting until February 28, 2002, unless your employment terminates
earlier under paragraphs 4 or 5 below.

     3.  The position of Vice President - Special Projects will be a salary
grade 20 and your compensation for your employment to and through February 28,
2002, will consist of the following:

         (a)  a salary based on a minimum annual rate of $219,197, to be
adjusted during the employment term pursuant to this Agreement at the
prerogative of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (after
consultation with the President/CEO), payable on the regular pay dates of the
Company; and

         (b)  the standard benefits and perquisites made available from time
to time to executives of the Company with similar years of service and level of
responsibilities, subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee of
the Board.

     4.  The Company will have the right to terminate your employment under
this Agreement at any time, immediately upon providing you with notice of the
cause for the termination. "Cause" will include but not be limited to: willful
failure to perform; dishonest or grossly negligent conduct in the performance
of your duties; incompetence; insubordination; violation of any express
direction; violation of any rule or regulation established by the Company from
time to time; or breach of any provision contained in this Agreement. In the
event of such a termination for cause, the Company shall have no further
obligation under this Agreement, except the obligation to pay you an amount
equal to the portion of your compensation as defined in paragraph 3 as may be
accrued and unpaid on the date of termination.

     5.  If you die or become totally disabled during your employment on or
prior to February 28, 2002 under this Agreement, you will be treated as any
other executive employee of the Company under the same circumstances.

     6.  So long as your employment continues to and through February 28, 2002
and you retire effective as of that date, you will receive the following
payments and benefits:

<PAGE>

         (a)  The Company will, effective as of March 1, 2002, provide you
and your spouse with retiree medical benefits in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Company's program of retiree medical benefits for salaried
employees in effect from time to time. You will be responsible for payment of
your share of the cost of this coverage in the same manner as any other
retiree;

         (b)  Beginning as of March 1, 2002, you will receive, on a monthly
basis payable as a joint and 75% survivor annuity with your spouse to whom you
are married on February 28, 2002, the FAC Pension under the Company's
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the "SERP"). The monthly amount of the
FAC Pension will be determined based on your Final Average Compensation as of
February 28, 2002 and your Benefit Years as of that date and, for purposes of
determining the reduction in this monthly benefit on account of its early
commencement, by assuming you attained age 60 on March 1, 2002. In determining
your Final Average Compensation as defined in paragraph 2.15 of the SERP, there
shall be taken into account the Foreign Service Premium you have received
during your foreign assignment;

         (c)  You will be eligible for benefits under the SERP, subject to its
terms and conditions (including without limitation Section 3.3), as modified by
paragraph 6(b) above. Your participation in the Company's other benefit plans,
including without limitation, the Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees,
dental plan, 401(k) Savings Plan, long-term disability plan and life insurance
plan, however, will end on February 28, 2002;

         (d)  After your separation from service on February 28, 2002, the
Company will pay to you, in a lump sum, the amounts that would be due to you
under the Company's Management Incentive Plan and the Company's profit sharing
program (based on a full-year-2001 compensation) as soon as administratively
practicable after those payments become due for the year 2001. You will not
receive any incentive bonus or profit sharing payment for the portion of 2002
in which you are employed; and

         (e)  With respect to the performance and/or restricted shares in
which you are vested based on service through February 28, 2002, after your
separation from service and as soon as administratively practicable after the
date of the Company determines that the performance criteria for your
performance and/or restricted shares have been satisfied, the Company will in
its sole discretion, either distribute to you shares of Company common stock
corresponding to such performance and/or restricted shares, or pay to you in a
single sum the cash value of the restricted share award.

         (f)  After your separation from service on February 28, 2002, you
will be permitted to exercise any stock options that have been granted to you
as of that date, and which are vested as of that date, through the earlier of
their stated expiration date and February 28, 2005.

         (g)  After your separation from service on February 28, 2002, the
Company will continue to pay for an annual executive physical examination for
you until you reach age 57.

     7.  Upon the mutual agreement of you and the CEO of the Company, you will
be placed on a fully paid leave of absence on October 1, 2001, or in the sole
discretion of the CEO of the Company, at any time before October 1, 2001, with
such leave of absence ending on February 28, 2002. You agree to remain
available during your leave of absence period to advise or assist the Company,
or otherwise to perform such duties as may be reasonably requested of you by
the Company.

     8.  You hereby agree that the Change in Control Employment Agreement dated
as of December 31, 2000, by and between yourself and the Company, will be
terminated effective as of the earlier of September 30, 2001 or the first day
of your leave of absence according to paragraph 7 above.

     9.  You hereby resign as an Officer of the Company as of the earlier of
September 30, 2001 or the first day of your leave of absence according to
paragraph 7 above.

     10. During and after your employment with the Company, you will not
engage in any activities or make any statements that may disparage or reflect
negatively on the Company, its Board of Directors, Officers or Employees.

<PAGE>

     11. You will keep the terms and conditions of this Agreement
confidential, except that you may reveal the terms and conditions of this
Agreement to your spouse, attorney and financial advisor, if any, so long as
they first agree not to disclose them to anyone else. The Company will make
reasonable efforts to keep the terms and conditions of this Agreement
confidential and to limit disclosure on a need-to-know basis. The parties,
however, understand that, by way of example and not of limitation, the Company
may need to disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the
Company's independent auditors, the Board of Directors and as required by
applicable securities laws.

     12. Both during and after your employment with the Company, you will
cooperate with any reasonable request of the Company to participate in the
preparation for, response to, prosecution of and/or defense of any pending,
actual or threatened litigation involving the Company. If the Company requests
such participation after your employment ends, it will reimburse you for all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses you incur as a result of such cooperation.

     13. You represent and warrant that by September 30, 2001 (or the first
day of your leave of absence according to paragraph 7 above), you will have
delivered to the Company all property of the Company or any related entities of
any kind or character, which shall include, but not be limited to, all
identification cards, equipment, books, keys, journals, records, computers,
customer lists, publications, files, computer disks, memoranda and documents of
any kind or description, or any other such property that may be in your
possession.

     14. You represent and warrant that you will comply with all terms in your
Employee's Agreement dated May 18, 1982, and the Company Corporate Disclosure
and Securities Trading Policy as in effect from time to time. In addition to
any existing obligation under your Employee's Agreement, the Corporate
Disclosure and Securities Trading Policy or under the common law, you represent
and warrant for all time that all confidential information of the Company
and/or any related entities (whether written, graphic, oral, committed to
memory or otherwise) in your possession, including without limitation,
information relating to the operations or marketing plans of the Company and/or
any related entities, shall remain strictly confidential and secret so long as
that information has not been published in a form generally available to the
public.

     15. If you breach your obligations set forth in this Agreement, in
addition to all other remedies available to the Company, all payments due you
under this Agreement, except for your salary and benefits through your
termination date, will cease, and you will reimburse the Company the full
amount of any and all amounts paid to you pursuant to this Agreement after the
termination of your employment and you will reimburse the Company for the
expenses it incurs in connection with any lawsuit based on your breach,
including attorneys' fees and costs. (As required by regulations issued by the
EEOC, the foregoing sentence does not apply with respect to a claim under the
Federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act). In addition, if you breach your
obligations set forth in paragraphs 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14 above, the Company
also shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief to restrain
any further breach of those obligations. If the Company breaches its
obligations set forth in this Agreement, in addition to all other remedies
available to you, the Company will reimburse you for the expenses you incur in
connection with any lawsuit based on the Company's breach, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs.

     16. You agree to execute the General Release Agreement attached hereto
as Exhibit A, and acknowledge that this Employment Agreement shall not be
effective unless you do so.

     17. You agree that this Agreement shall be deemed to be made in, and in
all respects to be interpreted, construed and governed by and in accordance
with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without giving effect of the
principles of conflicts of law under Pennsylvania law. You also agree to submit
to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Pennsylvania in
the event that there is any claim that you have breached this Agreement.

     18. This Agreement is personal to you and the Company's commitments to
you described herein may not be assigned to, or be enforced by, anyone else.
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company
and its successors and assigns.

     If you are in agreement with the foregoing terms of employment, and you
intend to be legally bound hereby, please sign and return one copy of this
letter to me, and also sign and return to me the attached General Release
Agreement. We look forward to your continued contributions to the Company.
