                    [Letterhead of York/(R)/ International]

June 21, 1999

Mr. Robert C. Galvin
44 Holmes Road
Ridgefield, CT  06877

Dear Bob:

On behalf of York International Corporation, I am very pleased to offer to you
the position of Vice President and Chief Financial Officer reporting to me,
effective on or before July 12, 1999. Your starting base salary will be
$32,083.34/month ($385,000/annually).

The Incentive Compensation Plan for executives at York International has two
elements; an annual cash bonus which is based on single year results, and a mid-
term Performance Unit Plan (P.U.P.) which is based on three-year results. Your
participation in the annual portion of the Plan will be a 45% Base Expected
Value level and a 90% Base Over Achievement level. Based on the 1999 Plan, your
Adjusted Expected Value is 78% and adjusted Over Achievement is 156%. If the
company should achieve its 1999 financial plan, your incentive opportunity will
be calculated at the annual Expected Value percentage (Adjusted Base EV) for the
full year January 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999. For 1999, you will be
guaranteed a minimum incentive award of $173,250. It will be recommended, and
subject to approval of the Board of Directors, that you receive 5,033 P.U.P.
units. These units will be earned from the grant date to the end of 2001, the
valuation date.

It will also be recommended to the Board of Directors that you receive 40,000
performance accelerated stock options under the provisions of the Stock Option
Plan priced at Fair Market Value on the date of grant. With this annual grant
there are two accelerated vesting triggers which must be achieved within five
years. The first trigger will be set at a stock price of a 26% increase over
grant price and when achieved, 50% of the option shares will vest. The second
trigger will be set at a stock price of a 13% increase over the first trigger
price and when achieved, the remaining 50% of the option shares will vest. The
trigger prices will be averaged for 15 consecutive trading days. If one or both
of the trigger prices are not reached within 5 years, the options will
automatically vest after 7 years. According to the Omnibus Stock Plan, options
will automatically be cancelled upon termination of employment for "Cause".
Termination for Cause is the termination of employment of an employee for (i)
providing the Company with materially false representations relied upon by the
Company in furnishing information to stockholders, a stock exchange or the
Securities and Exchange Commission, (ii) maintaining an undisclosed,
unauthorized and material conflict of interest in the discharge of duties owed
to the Company, (iii) misconduct causing a serious violation by the Company of
state or federal laws, (iv) theft of Company funds or assets, or (v) conviction
of a crime involving moral turpitude.

In addition, it will be recommended to the Board of Directors that you be
granted 20,000 Restricted Shares, priced at $1.00 per share. These shares will
vest 50% upon the second anniversary of grant, and 25% respectively, at the
third and fourth anniversaries.

Should you accept this offer, the above will be voted on by the Board of
Directors on June 22, 1999 and the grant price will be fixed at close of
business that day.

You will be a participant in York's financial planning program with an annual
allowance of $5,000.
<PAGE>

You will be provided relocation benefits typically offered to a transferred York
employee. However, the incidental expense allowance will be increased to $15,000
grossed up to cover appropriate taxes. Included in this relocation package, you
will be eligible for an interest free bridge loan at 90% of your equity. Also,
you will be provided 6 months of temporary housing with all expenses paid.

You will be provided dual housing expenses. The Company reimbursement, covered
by receipts, will apply to the old or new residence, whichever is less expense.
These expenses include:

    .  Mortgage principal and interest payments;
    .  Prorated taxes and insurance premiums;
    .  Unoccupied dwelling insurance;
    .  Cost of necessary utilities; and
    .  Regular or required maintenance such as lawn care.

You will be paid a car buyout of $25,000 grossed up to cover appropriate taxes.
This will be paid to you within two weeks of your start date.

You will be provided the following severance guarantees:

    1.  The Company Change of Control agreement.

    2.  One and one-half year's base and incentive pay and the immediate vesting
        of your employment restricted stock grant should you be involuntarily
        terminated within the first two years of your employment (without just
        cause), not related to a change of control.

You will participate in York's FlexChoice Group Health and Welfare Benefits
Program effective on your date of hire. You will be eligible for all other
benefits, (including Investment Plan, Retirement Plan, etc.) based on the plan
provisions.

It will be recommended to the Board of Directors that you become a participant
in the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (S.E.R.P.) effective with your
date of hire. The purpose of this benefit is to provide pension benefits above
the current ERISA salary cap of $160,000 annually and to increase overall
pension entitlement to 2.5% of Final average earnings when combined with the
standard plan.

Prior to commencing employment, you will be required to execute a
Confidentiality Agreement and Code of Business Conduct Certification. You will
also be required to satisfactorily complete a pre-employment physical
examination which includes a drug screen. In the event you have a disability,
York will make reasonable accommodations for you provided the accommodations
allow you to perform the essential functions of this position and does not
create an undue hardship for the Company.

York adheres to an "employment at will" policy which allows either you or York
to terminate an employment relationship without notice. The employment of each
individual is subject to the normal policies and practices of the Company and
its benefits plans as they will be revised from time to time.

We look forward to you joining York International Corporation, Bob, and to the
contributions you

will make toward our growing organization. Please contact me at (717) 771-7383
if you have any questions about York or our offer.

Sincerely,

/s/ Robert N. Pokelwaldt
