      AGREEMENT made as of -------------------------------,  by and between GPU,
Inc. (the "Corporation") and ----------------------------- (the "Recipient"):

      WHEREAS,  the  Corporation  maintains the 1990 Stock Plan for Employees of
GPU, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Plan") under which the Personnel,  Compensation
and  Nominating   Committee  of  the  Corporation's   Board  of  Directors  (the
"Committee")  may,  among  other  things,  award  units  ("Performance   Units")
representing  rights to acquire shares of the Corporation's  Common Stock, $2.50
par  value  ("Common  Stock")  to  such  employees  of the  Corporation  and its
subsidiaries as the Committee may determine,  subject to such terms,  conditions
or restrictions as it may deem appropriate;

      WHEREAS,  pursuant to the Plan, the Committee has granted to the Recipient
an award of  Performance  Units subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement; and

      WHEREAS, the Plan requires that an award of Performance Units be evidenced
by a written  agreement  between the Corporation and the Recipient that contains
such restrictions, terms and conditions as the Committee may require;

      NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

      1.    AWARD OF PERFORMANCE UNITS; NATURE OF RIGHTS

            (a) In accordance  with the  provisions  of the Plan,  the Committee
            awarded to the  Recipient on  -----------------  (the "Award  Date")
            ----------- Performance  Units.  Each  unit  so  awarded,  and  each
            additional  Performance  Unit credited to the Recipient  pursuant to
            Section  2 (the  Performance  Units so  awarded  and the  additional
            Performance   Units  so  credited   are   hereinafter   referred  to
            collectively  as  the  Recipient's   "Units"),   shall  entitle  the
            Recipient,  upon the  vesting of such units as provided in Section 3
            hereof,  to receive one share of Common Stock,  or a cash payment in
            lieu  of  such  share,  subject  to  the  terms,   conditions,   and
            restrictions set forth herein.

            (b) Prior to the issuance,  as provided in Section 4 or 5 hereof, of
            shares of Common Stock with  respect to the  Recipient's  Units,  or
            with respect to the Recipient's  "Deferred  Vested Units" as defined
            in Section 5(a)(ii)  hereof,  the Recipient shall not be entitled to
            any of the rights of a stockholder  of the  Corporation by reason of
            such Units or Deferred Vested Units.

            (c) Notwithstanding  anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the
            Recipient shall have the status of a mere unsecured  creditor of the
            Corporation  with  respect to the  Recipient's  right to receive any
            payment  hereunder;  and  this  Agreement  shall  constitute  a mere
            promise  by the  Corporation  to  make  payments  in the  future  in
            accordance with the terms hereof. It is the intention of the parties
            hereto that the  arrangements set forth in this Agreement be treated
            as unfunded for tax purposes  and, if it should be  determined  that
            Title I of ERISA is applicable to such arrangements, for purposes of
            Title I of ERISA.

2.    ADDITIONAL PERFORMANCE UNITS

            (a) As of each date prior to the Vesting Date (as defined in Section
            3(a)  below)  on  which  a  dividend  is paid  on the  Common  Stock
            ("Dividend Payment Date"),  there shall be credited to the Recipient
            hereunder a number of  additional  Performance  Units  determined by
            multiplying  (i) the  aggregate  number  of  Units  standing  to the
            Recipient's  credit immediately prior to such Dividend Payment Date,
            by (ii) the  quotient  resulting  from  dividing  (A) the per  share
            amount of the  dividend  so paid by (B) the price per share used for
            the  reinvestment  of dividends  paid on such Dividend  Payment Date
            under the provisions of the Corporation's  Dividend Reinvestment and
            Stock Purchase Plan.

            (b) Any  additional  Performance  Units  credited  to the  Recipient
            pursuant  to this  Section  2 shall be  subject  to the same  terms,
            conditions and  restrictions  as are applicable  with respect to the
            Recipient's initially awarded Performance Units.

3.    ADJUSTMENT AND VESTING OF UNITS

            (a) For purposes of this Agreement,  the Recipient's  "Vesting Date"
            shall mean the earliest to occur of the following dates:

                  (i)   the third anniversary of the Award Date;

                  (ii)  the date as of which the Recipient's employment with
                  the Corporation or any subsidiary terminates as a result of
                  the Recipient's death; or

                 (iii)  an "Acceleration Date," as defined in the Plan.

            (b) As of the  Recipient's  Vesting Date,  the  aggregate  number of
            Units then standing to the  Recipient's  credit shall be adjusted in
            accordance with the following provisions:

                  (i) The  aggregate  number of the  Recipient's  Units shall be
                  adjusted  by  multiplying   such   aggregate   number  by  the
                  Performance  Percentage  determined  pursuant to the following
                  table:

<PAGE>

                    If the Corporation's TSR              The Performance
                    Percentile Ranking is in the          Percentage shall be:
                    ----------------------------          --------------------

                     85th percentile - or above                200%
                     75th to 84th                              150
                     65th to 74th                              125
                     55th to 64th                              100
                     50th to 54th                               75
                     40th to 49th                               50
                     below 40th                                  0

                  For  purposes  of  the  foregoing,   the   Corporation's   TSR
                  Percentile  Ranking shall be  determined by (A)  ascertaining,
                  for each company  (including the Corporation)  included in the
                  Standard  &  Poor's  Electric  Utility  Companies  Index  (the
                  "Index") on the last day of the Performance Period (as defined
                  below),  such company's  average  quarterly total  shareholder
                  return  ("TSR") for all calendar  quarters in the  Performance
                  Period, as reported in the Index (but taking into account only
                  those calendar  quarters during which the company was included
                  in the Index);  (B)  ascertaining  the number of  companies so
                  included  in the Index  whose  average  quarterly  TSR for the
                  Performance  Period  is  lower  than  the  Corporation's;  (C)
                  dividing such number by the total number of companies included
                  in the Index on the last day of the  Performance  Period;  and
                  (D)  rounding  the  resulting  quotient to the  nearest  whole
                  percentage  point.  The  "Performance  Period"  shall mean the
                  period from January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2002.

                  (ii)  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  (A) if the  Recipient's
                  Vesting Date occurs by reason of the  Recipient's  death prior
                  to the first day of the calendar year which includes the third
                  anniversary of the Award Date, the Recipient's Units shall not
                  be adjusted in the manner described in subparagraph (i) above;
                  and (B) if the Recipient's Vesting Date occurs by reason of an
                  Acceleration  Date  occurring  prior to such  first  day,  the
                  adjustment  with  respect to the  Recipient's  Units  required
                  under  subparagraph  (i)  above  shall  be made  using  as the
                  applicable  Performance  Percentage  100% or, if greater,  the
                  Performance  Percentage  that would  apply under the table set
                  forth in subparagraph (i) above if the Performance  Period had
                  ended  on  December  31  of  the  calendar  year   immediately
                  preceding such Acceleration Date.

                  (iii) If the  Recipient's  employment  with the Corporation or
                  any subsidiary  terminates  prior to the third  anniversary of
                  the Award Date as a result of the Recipient's death, "Eligible
                  Retirement"  as defined in the Plan or "Total  Disability"  as
                  defined  in the  Plan,  the  number of Units  standing  to the
                  Recipient's  credit as of the Recipient's  Vesting Date (after
                  taking into account any adjustment required under subparagraph
                  (i)  above)  shall  be  adjusted  (or  further   adjusted)  by
                  multiplying  such number of Units by the  Recipient's  Service
                  Percentage.  The Recipient's  "Service  Percentage" shall mean
                  the  percentage  determined  by  dividing  by 36 the number of
                  months in the period beginning on the Award Date and ending on
                  the date of such  termination of the  Recipient's  employment;
                  and for this purpose, any fraction of a month included in such
                  period  shall be treated as a full  month.  This  subparagraph
                  (iii) shall not apply if the  Recipient's  Vesting Date occurs
                  by reason of the occurrence of an Acceleration Date.

            (c) As of the  Recipient's  Vesting Date, all Units then standing to
            the  Recipient's  credit (after taking into account any  adjustments
            required  under  subparagraphs  (i), (ii) and (iii) of paragraph (b)
            above) shall become  vested.  If the number of Units standing to the
            Recipient's credit immediately prior to any adjustments

                                        4

<PAGE>

            made pursuant to subparagraphs  (i), (ii) and (iii) of paragraph (b)
            above exceed the number of Units standing to the Recipient's  credit
            after  giving  effect to such  adjustments,  all of the  Recipient's
            rights  with  respect  to such  excess  number  of  Units  shall  be
            forfeited as of the Vesting Date. If the Recipient's employment with
            the  Corporation  or any  subsidiary  should  terminate  before  the
            Recipient's  Vesting  Date for any reason  other than as a result of
            the Recipient's Eligible Retirement or Total Disability,  all of the
            Recipient's  rights  with  respect  to  any  Units  credited  to the
            Recipient  hereunder  shall  be  forfeited  as of the  date  of such
            termination.

            (d) For purposes of this Agreement,  (i) the term "subsidiary" shall
            have the same meaning as in paragraph  4(a) of the Plan and (ii) the
            transfer  of the  Recipient's  employment  from  one  subsidiary  to
            another  shall not be treated as a  termination  of the  Recipient's
            employment.

4.    PAYMENT FOR VESTED UNITS

            (a) Upon the Vesting Date,  the Recipient  shall become  entitled to
            receive  payment with respect to the Units which have become  vested
            on  such  date  (such  Units  are  hereafter   referred  to  as  the
            Recipient's "Vested Units"). Except as otherwise provided in Section
            5,  payment with  respect to the  Recipient's  Vested Units shall be
            made as soon as  practicable  after the Vesting  Date, in the manner
            hereinafter set forth in this Section 4.

            (b) Except as  otherwise  provided in paragraph  (c) below,  payment
            with  respect to the  Recipient's  Vested Units shall be made by the
            issuance  to the  Recipient  of shares of  Common  Stock.  Except as
            otherwise  provided in paragraph (d) (ii) below, one share of Common
            Stock shall be issued for each of the Recipient's  Vested Units. The
            Recipient  shall own any shares of Common  Stock so issued  free and
            clear of any  restrictions  and shall be free to hold or  dispose of
            such shares at will, subject,  however, to any restrictions that may
            be imposed by law.

                                        5
<PAGE>

            (c) The  Committee,  in its  sole  discretion,  may  determine  that
            payment with respect to any or all of the  Recipient's  Vested Units
            shall be made in cash  instead  of in shares of  Common  Stock,  and
            payment with respect to any  fractional  part of a Vested Unit shall
            be made in cash.  Except as otherwise  provided in paragraph (d) (i)
            below, the amount of the cash payment to be made with respect to any
            Vested Unit shall be equal to (and the amount of the cash payment to
            be made with respect to any  fractional  part of a Vested Unit shall
            be based  upon) the per share  closing  price of one share of Common
            Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange  Composite Tape for
            the Vesting  Date,  or if there are no sales of Common Stock on such
            date, for the next preceding day on which there were sales of Common
            Stock.

            (d) Upon the occurrence of an Acceleration  Date, the amount payable
            with respect to the  Recipient's  Vested Units  (including any Units
            that  became  vested  prior  to  such  date  but for  which  payment
            hereunder  has not been made as of such date) shall be determined as
            follows:

                  (i) To the extent that the payment for any of the  Recipient's
                  Vested  Units is to be made in cash,  the amount of cash to be
                  paid for such  Vested  Units  shall be equal to the product of
                  (A) the number of such  Vested  Units,  multiplied  by (B) the
                  highest  closing  price  per  share of the  Common  Stock,  as
                  reported  on the  New  York  Stock  Exchange  Composite  Tape,
                  occurring  during the 90-day  period  preceding and the 90-day
                  period  following the Acceleration  Date (the  "Multiplication
                  Factor").

                  (ii) To the extent  that  payment  for any of the  Recipient's
                  Vested  Units is to be made in  shares of  Common  Stock,  the
                  number of shares of Common  Stock to be issued with respect to
                  such Vested  Units  shall be  determined  by dividing  (A) the
                  product of (y) the number of such Vested Units  multiplied  by
                  (z) the  Multiplication  Factor,  by (B) the per share closing
                  price of the Common  Stock as  reported  on the New York Stock
                  Exchange  Composite  Tape for the day  preceding  the  payment
                  date,  or if there are no sales of Common  Stock on such date,
                  for the next preceding day on which there were sales of Common
                  Stock.

                                        6
<PAGE>

            (e) If the Recipient has died prior to the date on which any payment
            is to be made  hereunder  with  respect  to the  Recipient's  Vested
            Units,  the payment  otherwise  required to be made to the Recipient
            shall be made to the Recipient's  beneficiary or estate, as the case
            may be.

5.    DEFERRAL OF PAYMENT FOR VESTED UNITS

            (a) Subject to the  provisions of paragraph (b) below,  payment with
            respect  to part or all of the  Recipient's  Vested  Units  shall be
            deferred,  and  shall  be  made  at  the  time  and  in  the  manner
            hereinafter set forth, if the Recipient so elects in accordance with
            the following provisions:

                  (i) An election by the  Recipient  hereunder  shall be made in
                  writing, on a form furnished to the Recipient for such purpose
                  by the  Committee.  The form shall be filed with the Committee
                  at least one year prior to the Vesting Date.

                  (ii) In the  Recipient's  election form,  the Recipient  shall
                  specify the number of Vested  Units  payment  with  respect to
                  which  the  Recipient  wishes to defer  (the  number of Vested
                  Units  payment with  respect to which is deferred  pursuant to
                  the  Recipient's   election  hereunder,   and  the  number  of
                  additional  units  credited  to  the  Recipient   pursuant  to
                  subparagraph (vi) below are hereinafter  collectively referred
                  to as the Recipient's  "Deferred  Vested Units");  the date on
                  which payment with respect to the Recipient's  Deferred Vested
                  Units shall be made or  commence  (the  "Payment  Commencement
                  Date") in accordance with  subparagraph  (iii) below;  and the
                  method  by  which  payment  with  respect  to the  Recipient's
                  Deferred Vested Units shall be made (the "Payment  Method") in
                  accordance with subparagraph (iv) below.

                  (iii) The  Recipient may select,  as the Payment  Commencement
                  Date, the first business day of any of the following:  (A) the
                  third  calendar year  following the calendar year in which the
                  Vesting  Date  occurs,  or any later  calendar  year;  (B) the

<PAGE>

                  earlier  of (x) any  calendar  year  which  the  Recipient  is
                  permitted to select under clause (A), or (y) the calendar year
                  following  the  later of the  Vesting  Date or the date of the
                  termination of the Recipient's employment with the Corporation
                  or any subsidiary or the Recipient's Total Disability;  or (C)
                  the calendar  year  following the later of the Vesting Date or
                  the date of the termination of the Recipient's employment with
                  the  Corporation  or any subsidiary or the  Recipient's  Total
                  Disability, or any later calendar year.

                  (iv) The Recipient may select,  as the Payment Method,  either
                  (A) a single  lump  sum  payment,  or (B)  payment  in  annual
                  installments,  over a period of at least five  years,  or such
                  greater  number  of years as the  Recipient  specifies  in the
                  Recipient's  election form. With each such annual installment,
                  payment  shall  be  made  with  respect  to a  number  of  the
                  Recipient's  Deferred  Vested  Units  equal  to  the  quotient
                  resulting  from  dividing  (C) the total  number  of  Deferred
                  Vested Units standing to the Recipient's  credit  hereunder on
                  the applicable  payment date, by (D) the number of installment
                  payments remaining to be made on such date.  Immediately after
                  each annual  installment  payment has been made, the number of
                  Deferred  Vested  Units  standing  to the  Recipient's  credit
                  hereunder  shall be reduced by the number of  Deferred  Vested
                  Units with respect to which such payment was made.

                  (v)   Any election made hereunder by the Recipient shall be
                  irrevocable.

                  (vi) Until  payment  has been made with  respect to all of the
                  Recipient's Deferred Vested Units (including those credited to
                  the  Recipient  under  this  subparagraph),   there  shall  be
                  credited  to the  Recipient  hereunder,  as of  each  Dividend
                  Payment  Date, a number of  additional  Deferred  Vested Units
                  determined by  multiplying  (A) the number of Deferred  Vested
                  Units   (including  any  additional   Deferred   Vested  Units
                  previously  credited to the Recipient under this subparagraph)
                  standing  to the  Recipient's  credit  hereunder  on  the  day
                  immediately  preceding such Dividend  Payment Date, by (B) the
                  quotient referred to in Section 2(a)(ii) hereof.

                  (vii) Payment with respect to the Recipient's  Deferred Vested
                  Units shall be made in cash, or in shares of Common Stock,  or
                  in any  combination  of cash or such shares,  as the Committee
                  shall  determine  in its sole  discretion.  To the extent that
                  payment with respect to any of the Recipient's Deferred Vested
                  Units is to be made in shares of  Common  Stock,  one share of
                  Common  Stock  shall be issued for each such  Deferred  Vested
                  Unit.  The  Recipient  shall own any shares of Common Stock so
                  issued free and clear of any restrictions and shall be free to
                  hold or dispose of such shares at will,  subject,  however, to
                  any restrictions that may be imposed by law. The amount of the
                  cash payment to be made with  respect to any  Deferred  Vested
                  Units  shall be equal to (and with  respect to any  fractional
                  part of a Deferred  Vested Unit,  shall be based upon) the per
                  share  closing  price of one share of Common Stock as reported
                  on the New York  Stock  Exchange  Composite  Tape for the last
                  business day immediately preceding the date on which such cash
                  payment is to be made.

                  (viii) A  deferral  election  otherwise  permitted  to be made
                  hereunder shall be subject to the following limitations:

                        (A) If the Recipient's  Vesting Date should occur within
                        one year  following  the date on which  the  Recipient's
                        election  form is filed  with the  Committee,  or if the
                        Vesting  Date  occurs  more than one year from such date
                        but  occurs  as  a  result  of  the   occurrence  of  an
                        Acceleration  Date, the  Recipient's  deferral  election
                        shall not be given  effect,  and payment with respect to
                        the Recipient's Vested Units shall be made in accordance
                        with the applicable provisions of Section 4.

                        (B) No deferral election shall be effective hereunder if
                        at any time  during the  12-month  period  ending on the
                        Vesting  Date,   the   Recipient   received  a  hardship
                        withdrawal  under  Section  7.2(e) of the GPU  Companies

                        Employee  Savings  Plan for  Nonbargaining  Employees or
                        under  the  comparable  provisions  of  any  other  plan
                        maintained by any of the GPU Companies that is qualified
                        under section 401(k) of the Code.

                        (C)  No  amount  may be  deferred  with  respect  to the
                        Recipient's  Vested  Units  pursuant to the  Recipient's
                        deferral  election  hereunder to the extent that any tax
                        is required to be withheld  with  respect to such amount
                        pursuant to applicable federal, state or local law.

                  (ix) If the  Recipient has died prior to the date on which any
                  payment  is  to  be  made   hereunder   with  respect  to  the
                  Recipient's  Deferred  Vested  Units,  the  payment  otherwise
                  required  to be made  to the  Recipient  shall  be made to the
                  Recipient's beneficiary or estate, as the case may be.

                  (x)  Notwithstanding any other provision in this paragraph (a)
                  to the  contrary,  to the  extent  the  Committee  in its sole
                  discretion so determines,  payment with respect to any part or
                  all of the  Recipient's  Deferred  Vested Units may be made to
                  the Recipient or to the Recipient's  beneficiary or estate, on
                  any date  earlier than the date on which such payment is to be
                  made pursuant to the Recipient's  election  hereunder,  in the
                  following  circumstances:  (A) in the event of the Recipient's
                  death prior to the Payment  Commencement Date specified in the
                  Recipient's election hereunder; (B) in the event the Recipient
                  becomes  entitled  to  receive  payments  under the  Long-Term
                  Disability Plan or Employee Pension Plan of any GPU Company as
                  a result of incurring a Total Disability;  or (C) in the event
                  the Recipient  requests such early payment and the  Committee,
                  in its sole discretion,  determines that such early payment is
                  necessary  to help the  Recipient  meet some severe  financial
                  need  arising  from   circumstances   which  were  beyond  the
                  Recipient's  control  and  which  were  not  foreseen  by  the
                  Recipient at the time of the Recipient's election hereunder.

            (b)  Notwithstanding  any  provision in  paragraph  (a) above to the
            contrary or any other election made by the Recipient under paragraph

                                       10

            (a), the Recipient may make a special  election under this paragraph
            (b)  regarding  payment  with  respect to the  Recipient's  Deferred
            Vested Units in the event a "Change in  Control",  as defined in the
            Plan, should occur.

                  (i) The  Recipient  may elect under this  subparagraph  (i) to
                  have payment with respect to all of the  Recipient's  Deferred
                  Vested  Units  made in the form of a single  lump sum  payment
                  upon  the  occurrence  of a  Change  in  Control  prior to the
                  Recipient's  termination of employment.  Such payment shall be
                  made as soon as  practicable  after  the  date on  which  such
                  Change in Control occurs.

                  (ii) The Recipient may elect under this  subparagraph  (ii) to
                  have payment with respect to all of the  Recipient's  Deferred
                  Vested  Units made in the form of a single lump sum payment in
                  the event of the Recipient's termination of employment for any
                  reason  within  the  two-year  period  following  a Change  in
                  Control.  Such payment  shall be made by no later than 30 days
                  after the date of the Participant's termination of employment.

                  (iii) Under this  subparagraph  (iii) the Recipient may elect,
                  in  the  event  a  Change   in   Control   occurs   after  the
                  Participant's   termination   of  employment  but  before  all
                  payments with respect to the Recipient's Deferred Vested Units
                  have been made pursuant to the  Participant's  election  under
                  Section  5(a),  to have  payment  with  respect  to all of the
                  Deferred   Vested  Units  that  are  still   standing  to  the
                  Recipient's  credit  hereunder  at the time of such  Change in
                  Control  made in the form of a single lump sum  payment.  Such
                  payment shall be made as soon as practicable after the date on
                  which such Change of Control occurs.

                  (iv) Payment with respect to the  Recipient's  Deferred Vested
                  Units  pursuant to an  election  made by the  Recipient  under
                  subparagraph  (i),  (ii) or (iii)  above  shall be made in the
                  manner provided in Section 5(a)(vii);  provided, however, that
                  if payment is to be made pursuant to the Recipient's  election
                  under  subparagraph  (i)  or  (iii),  the  second  and  fourth
                  sentences of Section 5(a)(vii) shall not apply, and the amount

                  of cash payable and/or the number of shares of Common Stock to
                  be issued  with  respect to the  Recipient's  Deferred  Vested
                  Units shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of
                  Section 4(d)(i) and (ii).

                  (v) An election under subparagraph (i) shall be effective only
                  if it is made at least one year prior to the Change in Control
                  referred  to  in   subparagraph   (i).   An   election   under
                  subparagraph (ii) shall be effective only if it is made either
                  (A) at least  twenty-four (24) months prior to the Recipient's
                  termination  of  employment,  or (B) if  such  termination  of
                  employment  constitutes  an  "Involuntary   Termination",   as
                  defined in subparagraph (vi) below, at least one year prior to
                  the Change in Control  referred to in  subparagraph  (ii).  An
                  election under  subparagraph  (iii) shall be effective only if
                  it is made prior to the Recipient's  termination of employment
                  and at least one year prior to the occurrence of the Change in
                  Control  referred  to  in  subparagraph   (iii).  Any  special
                  election  made under  subparagraphs  (i), (ii) or (iii) may be
                  revoked, and a new special election may be made thereunder, at
                  any time; provided,  however,  that any such revocation or new
                  election  shall be  effective  only if it is made  within  the
                  applicable  election  period  specified  herein.  Any  special
                  election,  or  revocation of a special  election,  that may be
                  made under  subparagraphs  (i), (ii) or (iii) shall be made in
                  the manner set forth in the first sentence of Section 5(a)(i).
                  Any special election made by the Recipient under  subparagraph
                  (i), (ii) or (iii) shall be effective  only if, at the date as
                  of which  payment  is to be made  pursuant  to such  election,
                  there is in effect for the Recipient a special  election under
                  the  comparable  provision  of each  other  Performance  Units
                  Agreement and Restricted Units Agreement between the Recipient
                  and GPU, Inc. in effect on such date.

                  (vi)  For  purposes  of  this  paragraph   (b),   "Involuntary
                  Termination"   shall  mean  the   termination  of  Recipient's
                  employment (A) as a result of the  Recipient's  death,  (B) by

                  foregoing,  "Good  Reason" shall mean the  occurrence  after a
                  Change  in  Control  of  any  of  the   following   events  or

                        responsibilities  (including reporting responsibilities)
                        which,   in   the   Recipient's   reasonable   judgment,
                        represents  an  adverse  change  from  the   Recipient's
                        status, title, position or responsibilities as in effect
                        immediately   prior  thereto;   the  assignment  to  the
                        Recipient of any duties or  responsibilities  which,  in

                        with  the  Recipient's   status,   title,   position  or
                        responsibilities;  or any removal of the Recipient  from
                        or failure to reappoint or reelect the  Recipient to any
                        of such offices or  positions,  other than in connection
                        with the termination of the  Recipient's  employment for
                        disability,  for cause,  or by the Recipient  other than
                        for Good Reason;

                        (2)   a reduction in the rate of the Recipient's
                        annual base salary;

                        (3) the relocation of the offices at which the Recipient
                        is   principally   employed  to  a  location  more  than
                        twenty-five (25) miles from the location of such offices
                        immediately  prior to such relocation,  or the Recipient
                        being  required to be based  anywhere other than at such
                        offices,  except to the  extent  the  Recipient  was not
                        previously  assigned  to a  principal  place of duty and
                        except  for   required   travel  on   business   of  the
                        Corporation or any subsidiary to an extent substantially
                        consistent with the Recipient's previous business travel
                        obligations;

                        (4) the failure by the  Corporation or any subsidiary to
                        pay to  the  Recipient  any  amount  of the  Recipient's
                        current  compensation,  or any amount payable under this
                        Agreement,  within  seven  (7) days of the date on which
                        payment of such amount is due; or

                        (5) the failure by the Corporation or any subsidiary (x)
                        to  continue  in effect  (without  reduction  in benefit
                        level,   and/or  reward   opportunities)   any  material
                        compensation  or  employee  benefit  plan in  which  the
                        Recipient was  participating  immediately  prior to such
                        failure by the  Corporation or any  subsidiary  unless a
                        substitute  or  replacement  plan has  been  implemented
                        which provides  substantially  identical compensation or
                        benefits to the  Recipient or (y) to continue to provide

            Any event or  condition  described  in clauses (1) through (5) above
            which  occurs (A) within  twelve  (12)  months  prior to a Change in

            effect a Change in Control and who  effectuates  a Change in Control
            or (y) otherwise  arose in connection  with, or in anticipation of a
            Change in  Control  which has been  threatened  or  proposed,  shall
            constitute    Good   Reason   for   purposes   of   this   Agreement

            subsidiary or in any way affect the Corporation or any  subsidiary's
            right to terminate the Recipient's employment at any time.

<PAGE>

AGREEMENT made as of ---------------------------,  by and between GPU, Inc. (the
"Corporation") and ------------------------- (the "Recipient"):

WHEREAS,  the  Corporation  maintains  the 1990 Stock Plan for Employees of GPU,
Inc. and Subsidiaries  (the "Plan") under which the Personnel,  Compensation and
Nominating  Committee of the Corporation's  Board of Directors (the "Committee")
may, among other things,  award units ("Performance  Units") representing rights
to acquire shares of the  Corporation's  Common Stock,  $2.50 par value ("Common
Stock")  to  such  employees  of the  Corporation  and its  subsidiaries  as the
Committee may determine, subject to such terms, conditions or restrictions as it
may deem appropriate;

WHEREAS,  pursuant to the Plan,  the  Committee  has granted to the Recipient an
award of Performance Units subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement; and

WHEREAS,  the Plan requires that an award of Performance Units be evidenced by a
written  agreement  between the Corporation and the Recipient that contains such
restrictions, terms and conditions as the Committee may require;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.    AWARD OF PERFORMANCE UNITS; NATURE OF RIGHTS

            (a) In accordance  with the  provisions  of the Plan,  the Committee
            awarded to the  Recipient on  -----------------  (the "Award  Date")
            ----------  Performance  Units.  Each  unit  so  awarded,  and  each
            additional  Performance  Unit credited to the Recipient  pursuant to
            Section  2 (the  Performance  Units so  awarded  and the  additional
            Performance   Units  so  credited   are   hereinafter   referred  to
            collectively  as  the  Recipient's   "Units"),   shall  entitle  the
            Recipient,  upon the  vesting of such units as provided in Section 3
            hereof,  to receive one share of Common Stock,  or a cash payment in
            lieu  of  such  share,  subject  to  the  terms,   conditions,   and
            restrictions set forth herein.

            (b) Prior to the issuance,  as provided in Section 4 or 5 hereof, of
            shares of Common Stock with  respect to the  Recipient's  Units,  or
            with respect to the Recipient's  "Deferred  Vested Units" as defined
            in Section 5(a)(ii)  hereof,  the Recipient shall not be entitled to
            any of the rights of a stockholder  of the  Corporation by reason of
            such Units or Deferred Vested Units.

                                        1

            (c) Notwithstanding  anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the
            Recipient shall have the status of a mere unsecured  creditor of the
            Corporation  with  respect to the  Recipient's  right to receive any
            payment  hereunder;  and  this  Agreement  shall  constitute  a mere
            promise  by the  Corporation  to  make  payments  in the  future  in
            accordance with the terms hereof. It is the intention of the parties
            hereto that the  arrangements set forth in this Agreement be treated
            as unfunded for tax purposes  and, if it should be  determined  that
            Title I of ERISA is applicable to such arrangements, for purposes of
            Title I of ERISA.

2.    ADDITIONAL PERFORMANCE UNITS

            (a) As of each date prior to the Vesting Date (as defined in Section
            3(a)  below)  on  which  a  dividend  is paid  on the  Common  Stock
            ("Dividend Payment Date"),  there shall be credited to the Recipient
            hereunder a number of  additional  Performance  Units  determined by
            multiplying  (i) the  aggregate  number  of  Units  standing  to the
            Recipient's  credit immediately prior to such Dividend Payment Date,
            by (ii) the  quotient  resulting  from  dividing  (A) the per  share
            amount of the  dividend  so paid by (B) the price per share used for
            the  reinvestment  of dividends  paid on such Dividend  Payment Date
            under the provisions of the Corporation's  Dividend Reinvestment and
            Stock Purchase Plan.

            (b) Any  additional  Performance  Units  credited  to the  Recipient
            pursuant  to this  Section  2 shall be  subject  to the same  terms,
            conditions and  restrictions  as are applicable  with respect to the
            Recipient's initially awarded Performance Units.

3.    ADJUSTMENT AND VESTING OF UNITS

                  the Recipient's death; or

                  (iii)  an "Acceleration Date," as defined in the Plan.

            (b) Subject to the  provisions  of  paragraph  (c) below,  as of the
            Recipient's  Vesting  Date,  the  aggregate  number  of  Units  then
            standing to the Recipient's  credit shall be adjusted by multiplying
            such  aggregate  number by the sum of (1) the MYR  After-Tax  Margin

            subparagraph  (i) below, (2) the MYR Revenue Growth Rate Performance

            Performance  Period  shall  mean  the  average  of the  percentages,
            determined,  for each year in the  Performance  Period,  by dividing
            MYR's net income for such year, by the average of MYR's total assets
            as of the beginning and end of such year.

                  (iv) For purposes of this  paragraph  (b), the amount of MYR's
                  net income and  revenues  for any year,  and the amount of its
                  total assets as of the beginning and end of any year, shall be
                  the amounts  determined  by MYR's Board of  Directors,  in its
                  discretion.

            (c)  If  the  Recipient's  Vesting  Date  occurs  by  reason  of the
            Recipient's  death prior to the first day of the calendar year which
            includes the third  anniversary of the Award Date,  the  Recipient's
            Units shall not be adjusted in the manner described in paragraph (b)
            above;  and if the  Recipient's  Vesting Date occurs by reason of an

            above shall be made using as the applicable  Performance  Percentage
            under each of  subparagraphs  (i),  (ii) and (iii) of paragraph  (b)
            above either 100% or, if greater,  the  Performance  Percentage that
            would apply under the table set forth in such subparagraph if the

<PAGE>

            Performance  Period had ended on  December 31 of the  calendar  year
            immediately preceding such Acceleration Date.

            (d)  If the  Recipient's  employment  with  the  Corporation  or any
            subsidiary  terminates  prior to the third  anniversary of the Award
            Date as a result of the Recipient's death,  "Eligible Retirement" as
            defined in paragraph (f)(iii) below or "Total Disability" as defined
            in the Plan, the number of Units standing to the Recipient's  credit
            as of the  Recipient's  Vesting Date (after  taking into account any
            adjustment  required  under  paragraph  (b)) shall be  adjusted  (or
            further  adjusted)  by  multiplying  such  number  of  Units  by the
            Recipient's Service Percentage. The Recipient's "Service Percentage"
            shall mean the percentage determined by dividing by 36 the number of
            months in the period  beginning  on the Award Date and ending on the
            date of such termination of the Recipient's employment; and for this
            purpose,  any  fraction of a month  included in such period shall be
            treated as a full month.  This  paragraph (d) shall not apply if the
            Recipient's  Vesting Date occurs by reason of the  occurrence  of an
            Acceleration Date.

            (e) As of the  Recipient's  Vesting Date, all Units then standing to
            the  Recipient's  credit (after taking into account any  adjustments
            required  under  paragraphs  (b),  (c) and (d) above)  shall  become
            vested.  If the number of Units standing to the  Recipient's  credit
            immediately  prior to any  adjustments  made  pursuant to paragraphs
            (b),  (c) and (d) above  exceed the number of Units  standing to the
            Recipient's  credit after giving effect to such adjustments,  all of
            the  Recipient's  rights with respect to such excess number of Units
            shall  be  forfeited  as of the  Vesting  Date.  If the  Recipient's
            employment with the Corporation or any subsidiary  should  terminate
            before the  Recipient's  Vesting Date for any reason other than as a
            result of the Recipient's  Eligible  Retirement or Total Disability,
            all of the Recipient's  rights with respect to any Units credited to
            the  Recipient  hereunder  shall be forfeited as of the date of such
            termination.

            (f) For purposes of this Agreement,  (i) the term "subsidiary" shall
            have the same  meaning as in  paragraph  4(a) of the Plan;  (ii) the
            transfer  of the  Recipient's  employment  from  one  subsidiary  to
            another  shall not be treated as a  termination  of the  Recipient's
            employment; and (iii) the term "Eligible

                                        5
<PAGE>

            Retirement" shall mean the termination of the Recipient's employment
            with the  Corporation  or any  subsidiary  for any reason other than
            death  or  Total   Disability  after  having  attained  age  55  and
            completing  at  least  10 years  of  service  with MYR or any  other
            subsidiary of the Corporation.

4.    PAYMENT FOR VESTED UNITS

            (a) Upon the Vesting Date,  the Recipient  shall become  entitled to
            receive  payment with respect to the Units which have become  vested
            on  such  date  (such  Units  are  hereafter   referred  to  as  the
            Recipient's "Vested Units"). Except as otherwise provided in Section
            5,  payment with  respect to the  Recipient's  Vested Units shall be
            made as soon as  practicable  after the Vesting  Date, in the manner
            hereinafter set forth in this Section 4.

            (b) Except as  otherwise  provided in paragraph  (c) below,  payment
            with  respect to the  Recipient's  Vested Units shall be made by the
            issuance  to the  Recipient  of shares of  Common  Stock.  Except as
            otherwise  provided in paragraph (d) (ii) below, one share of Common
            Stock shall be issued for each of the Recipient's  Vested Units. The
            Recipient  shall own any shares of Common  Stock so issued  free and
            clear of any  restrictions  and shall be free to hold or  dispose of
            such shares at will, subject,  however, to any restrictions that may
            be imposed by law.

            (c) The  Committee,  in its  sole  discretion,  may  determine  that
            payment with respect to any or all of the  Recipient's  Vested Units
            shall be made in cash  instead  of in shares of  Common  Stock,  and
            payment with respect to any  fractional  part of a Vested Unit shall
            be made in cash.  Except as otherwise  provided in paragraph (d) (i)
            below, the amount of the cash payment to be made with respect to any
            Vested Unit shall be equal to (and the amount of the cash payment to
            be made with respect to any  fractional  part of a Vested Unit shall
            be based  upon) the per share  closing  price of one share of Common
            Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange  Composite Tape for
            the Vesting  Date,  or if there are no sales of Common Stock on such
            date, for the next preceding day on which there were sales of Common
            Stock.

                                        6

            (d) Upon the occurrence of an Acceleration  Date, the amount payable
            with respect to the  Recipient's  Vested Units  (including any Units
            that  became  vested  prior  to  such  date  but for  which  payment
            hereunder  has not been made as of such date) shall be determined as
            follows:

                  (i) To the extent that the payment for any of the  Recipient's
                  Vested  Units is to be made in cash,  the amount of cash to be
                  paid for such  Vested  Units  shall be equal to the product of
                  (A) the number of such  Vested  Units,  multiplied  by (B) the
                  highest  closing  price  per  share of the  Common  Stock,  as
                  reported  on the  New  York  Stock  Exchange  Composite  Tape,
                  occurring  during the 90-day  period  preceding and the 90-day
                  period  following the Acceleration  Date (the  "Multiplication
                  Factor").

                  (ii) To the extent  that  payment  for any of the  Recipient's
                  Vested  Units is to be made in  shares of  Common  Stock,  the
                  number of shares of Common  Stock to be issued with respect to
                  such Vested  Units  shall be  determined  by dividing  (A) the
                  product of (y) the number of such Vested Units  multiplied  by
                  (z) the  Multiplication  Factor,  by (B) the per share closing
                  price of the Common  Stock as  reported  on the New York Stock
                  Exchange  Composite  Tape for the day  preceding  the  payment
                  date,  or if there are no sales of Common  Stock on such date,
                  for the next preceding day on which there were sales of Common
                  Stock.

            (e) If the Recipient has died prior to the date on which any payment
            is to be made  hereunder  with  respect  to the  Recipient's  Vested
            Units,  the payment  otherwise  required to be made to the Recipient
            shall be made to the Recipient's  beneficiary or estate, as the case
            may be.

5.    DEFERRAL OF PAYMENT FOR VESTED UNITS

            (a) Subject to the  provisions of paragraph (b) below,  payment with
            respect  to part or all of the  Recipient's  Vested  Units  shall be
            deferred,  and  shall  be  made  at  the  time  and  in  the  manner
            hereinafter set forth, if the Recipient so elects in accordance with
            the following provisions:

                  (i)   An election by the Recipient hereunder shall be made
                  in writing,  on a form  furnished  to the  Recipient  for such
                  purpose  by the  Committee.  The form  shall be filed with the
                  Committee at least one year prior to the Vesting Date.

                                        7
<PAGE>

                  (ii) In the  Recipient's  election form,  the Recipient  shall
                  specify the number of Vested  Units  payment  with  respect to
                  which  the  Recipient  wishes to defer  (the  number of Vested
                  Units  payment with  respect to which is deferred  pursuant to
                  the  Recipient's   election  hereunder,   and  the  number  of
                  additional  units  credited  to  the  Recipient   pursuant  to
                  subparagraph (vi) below are hereinafter  collectively referred
                  to as the Recipient's  "Deferred  Vested Units");  the date on
                  which payment with respect to the Recipient's  Deferred Vested
                  Units shall be made or  commence  (the  "Payment  Commencement
                  Date") in accordance with  subparagraph  (iii) below;  and the
                  method  by  which  payment  with  respect  to the  Recipient's
                  Deferred Vested Units shall be made (the "Payment  Method") in
                  accordance with subparagraph (iv) below.

                  (iii) The  Recipient may select,  as the Payment  Commencement
                  Date, the first business day of any of the following:  (A) the
                  third  calendar year  following the calendar year in which the
                  Vesting  Date  occurs,  or any later  calendar  year;  (B) the
                  earlier  of (x) any  calendar  year  which  the  Recipient  is
                  permitted to select under clause (A), or (y) the calendar year
                  following  the  later of the  Vesting  Date or the date of the
                  termination of the Recipient's employment with the Corporation
                  or any subsidiary or the Recipient's Total Disability;  or (C)
                  the calendar  year  following the later of the Vesting Date or
                  the date of the termination of the Recipient's employment with
                  the  Corporation  or any subsidiary or the  Recipient's  Total
                  Disability, or any later calendar year.

                  (iv) The Recipient may select,  as the Payment Method,  either
                  (A) a single  lump  sum  payment,  or (B)  payment  in  annual
                  installments,  over a period of at least five  years,  or such
                  greater  number  of years as the  Recipient  specifies  in the
                  Recipient's  election form. With each such annual installment,
                  payment  shall  be  made  with  respect  to a  number  of  the
                  Recipient's  Deferred  Vested  Units  equal  to  the  quotient
                  resulting  from  dividing  (C) the total  number  of  Deferred
                  Vested Units standing to the Recipient's  credit  hereunder on

                                        8
<PAGE>

                  applicable  payment  date,  by (D) the  number of  installment
                  payments remaining to be made on such date.  Immediately after
                  each annual  installment  payment has been made, the number of
                  Deferred  Vested  Units  standing  to the  Recipient's  credit
                  hereunder  shall be reduced by the number of  Deferred  Vested
                  Units with respect to which such payment was made.

                  (v)    Any election made hereunder by the Recipient shall
                  be irrevocable.

                  (vi) Until  payment  has been made with  respect to all of the
                  Recipient's Deferred Vested Units (including those credited to
                  the  Recipient  under  this  subparagraph),   there  shall  be
                  credited  to the  Recipient  hereunder,  as of  each  Dividend
                  Payment  Date, a number of  additional  Deferred  Vested Units
                  determined by  multiplying  (A) the number of Deferred  Vested
                  Units   (including  any  additional   Deferred   Vested  Units
                  previously  credited to the Recipient under this subparagraph)
                  standing  to the  Recipient's  credit  hereunder  on  the  day
                  immediately  preceding such Dividend  Payment Date, by (B) the
                  quotient referred to in Section 2(a)(ii) hereof.

                  (vii) Payment with respect to the Recipient's  Deferred Vested
                  Units shall be made in cash, or in shares of Common Stock,  or
                  in any  combination  of cash or such shares,  as the Committee
                  shall  determine  in its sole  discretion.  To the extent that
                  payment with respect to any of the Recipient's Deferred Vested
                  Units is to be made in shares of  Common  Stock,  one share of
                  Common  Stock  shall be issued for each such  Deferred  Vested
                  Unit.  The  Recipient  shall own any shares of Common Stock so
                  issued free and clear of any restrictions and shall be free to
                  hold or dispose of such shares at will,  subject,  however, to
                  any restrictions that may be imposed by law. The amount of the
                  cash payment to be made with  respect to any  Deferred  Vested
                  Units  shall be equal to (and with  respect to any  fractional
                  part of a Deferred  Vested Unit,  shall be based upon) the per
                  share  closing  price of one share of Common Stock as reported
                  on the New York  Stock  Exchange  Composite  Tape for the last
                  business day immediately preceding the date on which such cash
                  payment is to be made.

                  (viii) A  deferral  election  otherwise  permitted  to be made
                  hereunder shall be subject to the following limitations:

                        (A) If the Recipient's  Vesting Date should occur within
                        one year  following  the date on which  the  Recipient's
                        election  form is filed  with the  Committee,  or if the
                        Vesting  Date  occurs  more than one year from such date
                        but  occurs  as  a  result  of  the   occurrence  of  an
                        Acceleration  Date, the  Recipient's  deferral  election
                        shall not be given  effect,  and payment with respect to
                        the Recipient's Vested Units shall be made in accordance
                        with the applicable provisions of Section 4.

                        (B) No deferral election shall be effective hereunder if
                        at any time  during the  12-month  period  ending on the
                        Vesting  Date,   the   Recipient   received  a  hardship
                        withdrawal  under  Section  7.2(e) of the GPU  Companies
                        Employee  Savings  Plan for  Nonbargaining  Employees or
                        under  the  comparable  provisions  of  any  other  plan
                        maintained by any of the GPU Companies that is qualified
                        under section 401(k) of the Code.

                        (C)  No  amount  may be  deferred  with  respect  to the
                        Recipient's  Vested  Units  pursuant to the  Recipient's
                        deferral  election  hereunder to the extent that any tax
                        is required to be withheld  with  respect to such amount
                        pursuant to applicable federal, state or local law.

                  (ix) If the  Recipient has died prior to the date on which any
                  payment  is  to  be  made   hereunder   with  respect  to  the
                  Recipient's  Deferred  Vested  Units,  the  payment  otherwise
                  required  to be made  to the  Recipient  shall  be made to the
                  Recipient's beneficiary or estate, as the case may be.

                  (x)  Notwithstanding any other provision in this paragraph (a)
                  to the  contrary,  to the  extent  the  Committee  in its sole
                  discretion so determines,  payment with respect to any part or
                  all of the  Recipient's  Deferred  Vested Units may be made to
                  the Recipient or to the Recipient's  beneficiary or estate, on
                  any date  earlier than the date on which such payment is to be
                  made pursuant to the Recipient's  election  hereunder,  in the
                  following

                                       10
<PAGE>

                  circumstances: (A) in the event of the Recipient's death prior
                  to the Payment  Commencement Date specified in the Recipient's
                  election hereunder;  (B) in the event of the Recipient's Total
                  Disability;  or (C) in the event the  Recipient  requests such
                  early  payment  and the  Committee,  in its  sole  discretion,
                  determines  that such early  payment is  necessary to help the
                  Recipient  meet  some  severe   financial  need  arising  from
                  circumstances  which were beyond the  Recipient's  control and
                  which were not  foreseen by the  Recipient  at the time of the
                  Recipient's election hereunder.

            (b)  Notwithstanding  any  provision in  paragraph  (a) above to the
            contrary or any other election made by the Recipient under paragraph
            (a), the Recipient may make a special  election under this paragraph
            (b)  regarding  payment  with  respect to the  Recipient's  Deferred
            Vested Units in the event a "Change in  Control",  as defined in the
            Plan, should occur.

                  (i) The  Recipient  may elect under this  subparagraph  (i) to
                  have payment with respect to all of the  Recipient's  Deferred
                  Vested  Units  made in the form of a single  lump sum  payment
                  upon  the  occurrence  of a  Change  in  Control  prior to the
                  Recipient's  termination of employment.  Such payment shall be
                  made as soon as  practicable  after  the  date on  which  such
                  Change in Control occurs.

                  (ii) The Recipient may elect under this  subparagraph  (ii) to
                  have payment with respect to all of the  Recipient's  Deferred
                  Vested  Units made in the form of a single lump sum payment in
                  the event of the Recipient's termination of employment for any
                  reason  within  the  two-year  period  following  a Change  in
                  Control.  Such payment  shall be made by no later than 30 days
                  after the date of the Participant's termination of employment.

                  (iii) Under this  subparagraph  (iii) the Recipient may elect,

                  applicable  election  period  specified  herein.  Any  special
                  election,  or  revocation of a special  election,  that may be

                  Any special election made by the Recipient under  subparagraph

                                       12
<PAGE>

                  of which  payment  is to be made  pursuant  to such  election,

                  (vi)  For  purposes  of  this  paragraph   (b),   "Involuntary
                  Termination"   shall  mean  the   termination  of  Recipient's
                  employment (A) as a result of the  Recipient's  death,  (B) by
                  the Corporation or any subsidiary,  for any reason,  or (C) by
                  the  Recipient  for  "Good   Reason".   For  purposes  of  the
                  foregoing,  "Good  Reason" shall mean the  occurrence  after a
                  Change  in  Control  of  any  of  the   following   events  or
                  conditions:

                        (1) change in the Recipient's status, title, position or
                        responsibilities  (including reporting responsibilities)
                        which,   in   the   Recipient's   reasonable   judgment,
                        represents  an  adverse  change  from  the   Recipient's
                        status, title, position or responsibilities as in effect
                        immediately   prior  thereto;   the  assignment  to  the
                        Recipient of any duties or  responsibilities  which,  in
                        the Recipient's  reasonable  judgment,  are inconsistent
                        with  the  Recipient's   status,   title,   position  or
                        responsibilities;  or any removal of the Recipient  from
                        or failure to reappoint or reelect the  Recipient to any
                        of such offices or  positions,  other than in connection
                        with the termination of the  Recipient's  employment for
                        disability,  for cause,  or by the Recipient  other than
                        for Good Reason;

                        (2)   a reduction in the rate of the Recipient's
                        annual base salary;

                        (3) the relocation of the offices at which the Recipient
                        is   principally   employed  to  a  location  more  than
                        twenty-five (25) miles from the location of such offices
                        immediately  prior to such relocation,  or the Recipient
                        being  required to be based  anywhere other than at such
                        offices,  except to the  extent  the  Recipient  was not
                        previously  assigned  to a  principal  place of duty and
                        except  for   required   travel  on   business   of  the
                        Corporation or any subsidiary to an extent

                                       13
<PAGE>

                        substantially consistent with the Recipient's
                        previous business travel obligations;

                        (4) the failure by the  Corporation or any subsidiary to
                        pay to  the  Recipient  any  amount  of the  Recipient's
                        current  compensation,  or any amount payable under this
                        Agreement,  within  seven  (7) days of the date on which
                        payment of such amount is due; or

                        (5) the failure by the Corporation or any subsidiary (x)
                        to  continue  in effect  (without  reduction  in benefit
                        level,   and/or  reward   opportunities)   any  material
                        compensation  or  employee  benefit  plan in  which  the
                        Recipient was  participating  immediately  prior to such
                        failure by the  Corporation or any  subsidiary  unless a
                        substitute  or  replacement  plan has  been  implemented
                        which provides  substantially  identical compensation or
                        benefits to the  Recipient or (y) to continue to provide
                        the Recipient  with  compensation  and benefits,  in the
                        aggregate,  at least  equal (in terms of benefit  levels
                        and/or reward opportunities) to those provided for under
                        all  other   compensation  or  employee  benefit  plans,
                        programs  and  practices  in  which  the  Recipient  was
                        participating  immediately  prior to such failure by the
                        Corporation or any subsidiary.

            Any event or  condition  described  in clauses (1) through (5) above
            which  occurs (A) within  twelve  (12)  months  prior to a Change in
            Control or (B) prior to a Change in Control but which the  Recipient
            reasonably  demonstrates (x) was at the request of a third party who
            has indicated an intention or taken steps  reasonably  calculated to
            effect a Change in Control and who  effectuates  a Change in Control
            or (y) otherwise  arose in connection  with, or in anticipation of a
            Change in  Control  which has been  threatened  or  proposed,  shall
            constitute    Good   Reason   for   purposes   of   this   Agreement
            notwithstanding that it occurred prior to a Change in Control.

            provisions of this  Agreement,  the  Corporation  shall withhold the
            taxes then required by applicable federal, state and local law to be
            so  withheld.  In lieu  thereof,  the  Corporation  may  require the
            Recipient  (or,  in  the  event  of  the  Recipient's   death,   the
            Recipient's  beneficiary  or  estate) to pay to the  Corporation  an
            amount equal to the amount of taxes so required to be withheld. Such
            payment  to the  Corporation  shall  be made  in  cash,  or,  if the
            Committee so  determines,  in cash, in shares of Common Stock with a
            market  value  equal  to  such  withholding  obligation,  or in  any
            combination thereof.

7.    ADMINISTRATION

            (a) Except  for the  responsibilities  assigned  to the MYR Board of
            Directors  under Section  3(b)(iv),  the  Committee  shall have full
            authority  and  sole   discretion   (subject  only  to  the  express
            provisions  of the  Plan) to  decide  all  matters  relating  to the
            administration  and  interpretation  of the Plan and this Agreement.
            All such Committee  determinations shall be final,  conclusive,  and
            binding upon the Corporation,  the Recipient, the Recipient's estate
            and  any and  all  other  interested  parties.  Notwithstanding  the
            foregoing,  any  determination  made  by  the  Committee  after  the
            occurrence  of a "Change in Control"  (as defined in the Plan) shall
            be  subject  to  judicial  review  under a "de novo"  rather  than a
            deferential standard.

            (b) This Agreement shall be subject to the terms of the Plan, and in
            the case of any  inconsistency  between the Plan and this Agreement,
            the  provisions  of the Plan  shall  govern.  The  Recipient  hereby
            acknowledges receipt of the Corporation's  Prospectus which includes
            the text of the Plan.

            distribution),   assignment,  pledge,  encumbrance,   attachment  or
            garnishment  by the  Recipient's  creditors or the  creditors of the

            subsidiary or in any way affect the Corporation or any  subsidiary's
            right to terminate the Recipient's employment at any time.
