                              CONSULTING AGREEMENT

This Consulting Agreement is entered into by and between Michael Baker
Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Corporation") and Richard L. Shaw,
an individual (the "Executive"), effective April 25, 2001.

     WHEREAS, the Corporation and the Executive entered into an Employment
Agreement dated April 12, 1988 and subsequently amended the Employment Agreement
by Supplemental Agreement No. 1 dated March 17, 1992, Supplemental Agreement No.
2 dated October 1, 1994, Supplemental Agreement No. 3 dated June 1, 1995,
Supplemental Agreement No. 4 dated March 1, 1998, and Supplemental Agreement No.
5 dated September 7, 1999 (hereinafter collectively the "Agreement"); and

     WHEREAS, at a Special Meeting of the Board of Directors on April 24, 2001,
the Executive retired from the position of Chief Executive Officer of the
Corporation, and the Board of Directors elected Donald P. Fusilli, Jr. to
succeed the Executive in such position, both actions to take effect on April 25,
2001; and

     WHEREAS, the Corporation and the Executive now desire to further amend the
Agreement in recognition of the change in the Executive's status, and to take
this opportunity to consolidate, restate and supercede the original Employment
Agreement and prior Supplements with this one document for ease of future
reference and use;

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and
other good and valuable consideration, and intending to be legally bound hereby,
THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

1.   Consulting Arrangement. Commencing April 26, 2001 and continuing until
     April 26, 2003 unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 4 of this
     Consulting Agreement, Executive will serve as a consultant to the
     Corporation to perform such executive or policy duties as the Corporation
     and Executive may mutually agree. The purpose of this consulting
     arrangement is to enable the Corporation to continue to take advantage of
     the knowledge and experience of the Executive in dealing with the business
     and affairs of the Corporation, and the parties shall mutually agree on
     effective ways of making this knowledge and experience available to its
     Corporation consistent with Executive's retirement from full time service
     and the performance of not more than approximately eight days service by
     Executive in each calendar month. The period within which Executive serves
     as a consultant is hereinafter called the "Consulting Term."

2.   Compensation. During the Consulting Term, the Corporation shall pay the
     Executive annual compensation equal to 25% of the salary of the Executive
     in effect on April 25, 2001 (or 25% of $425,006.40). Payment of such
     compensation shall be made in equal monthly installments.

     In consideration of the Executive's compensation during the Consulting
     Term, and the Executive's benefits as provided herein, the Executive shall
     be responsible for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Executive in
     the conduct of the Corporation's business,

<PAGE>   2

     including costs of his office. However, if the Executive travels at the
     Corporation's request outside the Pittsburgh area on the Corporation's
     business, the Corporation shall reimburse the Executive his reasonable
     travel expenses in accordance with the travel policy then in effect for the
     Corporation.

     During the Consulting Term, the Executive shall be independent contractor
     as distinguished from an employee of the Corporation, and as such shall be
     solely responsible to report income to the proper authorities and pay
     appropriate taxes.

3.   Benefits. In recognition of the Executive's service to the Corporation both
     as an employee and consultant, in addition to the compensation provided
     during the Consulting Term under Section 2 of this Consulting Agreement,
     the Corporation shall provide the following for the Executive:

     (a)  Health Insurance. The Corporation shall pay the cost of the "65
          Special" health insurance and coverage for the Executive and his
          spouse for the duration of their respective lives.

     (b)  Life Insurance. The Corporation shall maintain for the duration of the
          Executive's life the existing Unum whole life insurance policy on the
          Executive's life in the amount of Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand
          Dollars ($250,000). Notwithstanding the above, the Corporation may
          elect at its option to substitute for such policy, comparable coverage
          for the Executive as part of a group insurance policy involving other
          Corporation executives.

          In addition to the existing $250,000 whole life policy referred to
          above, during his employment as a full-time employee of the
          Corporation and as provided by the Corporation's benefits program, the
          Executive acquired Three Hundred and Twenty Five Thousand Dollars
          ($325,000) in group life insurance. Upon ceasing to be a full-time
          employee of the Corporation on April 25, 2001, the Executive may elect
          to either port such insurance pursuant to the ____ Act or convert such
          insurance to an individual whole life policy. The Executive must make
          such election within thirty (30) days after ceasing to be a full-time
          employee of the Corporation, or he shall have waived his right to do
          so.

          If the Executive elects to port or convert such insurance, the
          Corporation will pay an amount not to exceed $25,000 annually toward
          the actual costs incurred by the Executive to maintain such insurance.
          Notwithstanding the above, the Corporation may elect at its option, in
          lieu of contributing $25,000 annually to the costs of such coverage,
          to substitute for such policy comparable coverage for the Executive as
          part of a group insurance policy involving other Corporation
          executives.

     (c)  Supplemental Retirement Benefit. Commencing at the expiration of the
          Consulting Term and for the remainder of the life of Executive or his
          spouse, whichever shall be longer, the Corporation will pay Executive
          or his spouse $5,000.00 per month as an additional retirement benefit.

     4.   Termination. The following events shall terminate the Consulting Term
          at the times indicated:

          (a)  Death. The death of Executive shall terminate the Consulting Term
               on the date thereof. In the event of death of the Executive
               during the Consulting Term, the Corporation will pay the spouse
               of Executive, should she survive him, one full year's
               compensation at the rate in effect at the time of death pursuant
               to the provisions of Paragraph 2, such compensation to be payable
               in equal monthly installments over a three year period.

          (b)  Disability. In the event the Board of Directors of the
               Corporation determines that, by reason of illness or incapacity,
               Executive is no longer able to perform his duties hereunder and
               such failure to so perform shall have continued for a continuous
               period of not less than three months, the Corporation may, by
               notice to the Executive, terminate the Consulting Term effective
               at any time after such three month period,. In such event, the
               Corporation shall continue to pay Executive one-half of the
               compensation provided for in Section 2, less any benefits
               received by the Executive from the Corporation's then existing
               Long-Term Disability plan, for a period of two years following
               termination.

          (c)  Termination for Cause. In the event that, in the judgment of the
               Board of Directors of the Corporation, the Executive shall have
               (a) been guilty of an act of dishonesty material with respect to
               the Corporation, (b) committed a crime involving moral turpitude
               or (c) intentionally disregarded the provisions of this
               Consulting Agreement or the express instructions of the Board of
               Directors of the Corporation with respect to matters of policy
               continuing for a period of not less than 30 days after notice of
               such disregard, the Corporation may terminate this Consulting
               Agreement and all its continuing obligations hereunder effective
               at such date as it shall specify.

          (d)  Termination by Executive. Executive may terminate his obligations
               under this Consulting Agreement (other than those contained in
               Section 8 hereof) at any time upon not less than 90 days notice
               to the Corporation. Unless such termination by Executive occurs
               after a Material Event (defined in Paragraph 5 hereof), the
               Corporation's obligations under this Consulting Agreement shall
               terminate on the effective date of such termination.

     5.   Material Event. A material event shall be deemed to have occurred if a
          person, other than the Corporation's ESOP, shall have acquired or have
          the contractual right to acquire 20% or more of the outstanding stock
          of the Corporation, considering all classes of common stock as one
          class.

     6.   Compensation in the Event of Material Event. In the event that the
          Consulting Agreement is terminated by Executive after the occurrence
          of a Material Event during the Consulting Term or by the Corporation
          other than pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 4(a), (b) or (c),
          the Corporation shall be obligated to pay Executive all amounts which
          would be due him were the Consulting Term hereunder to continue until
          its scheduled expiration, and to satisfy all of the Corporation's
          obligations set forth in Section 3, Benefits as if this Consulting
          Agreement remained in full force and effect.

<PAGE>   4

     7.   Taxes. In the event that any payment, coverage or benefit provided
          under the Agreement would in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the
          Corporation be deemed not deductible in whole or in part by the
          Corporation in the calculation of its federal income tax by reason of
          Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, the amounts payable
          pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be reduced to the maximum
          amount which would be so deductible; provided, however, that in no
          event shall such amounts be equal to less than 50% of the compensation
          remaining for the Consulting Term of Executive.

     8.   Confidentiality and Non-Competition.

          (a)  Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information. Executive shall not,
               during the Consulting Term or thereafter, and whether this
               Consulting Agreement expires or is terminated with or without
               cause: (a) use directly or indirectly for Executive's own
               benefit, or for the benefit of any corporation, partnership,
               proprietorship, firm, person or other entity; or (b) disclose to
               any corporation, partnership, proprietorship, firm, person or
               other entity, other than Corporation, any Confidential
               Information used by the Corporation and made known to Executive,
               whether or not with knowledge and permission of the Corporation
               and whether or not developed, devised, or otherwise created in
               whole or in part by the efforts of the Executive, during or by
               reason of his employment or retention as a consultant by the
               Corporation. For purposes hereof, Confidential Information shall
               mean and include information concerning the Corporation's sales,
               sales volume, sales methods, customers, identity of customers,
               identity of key purchasing personnel in the employ of customers,
               amount or kind of customers purchases from the Corporation, the
               formula, processes, methods, machines, manufacture, compositions,
               ideas, improvements, inventions or other confidential or
               proprietary information belonging to the Corporation or related
               to the Corporation's affairs.

          (b)  Non-Competition. Executive covenants and agrees that for a period
               of five (5) years following the expiration of the Consulting
               Term, or termination with or without cause of the Consulting
               Agreement, whichever occurs earlier, Executive will not, in any
               area of the United States of America, or in any other area in
               which the Corporation or any Subsidiary has carried on its
               business during the six-month period prior to such expiration or
               termination, engage directly or indirectly, as a principal,
               agent, employee, employer, independent contractor, officer,
               director, partner or substantial stockholders of any corporation,
               partnership, proprietorship, firm or person, in any business
               competitive with the Corporation's business during the three
               years prior to such expiration or termination.

               If the Corporation seeks judicial enforcement of this paragraph,
               the period of time during which Executive is restricted from
               competing with the Corporation shall extend to three years after
               the date of the judicial order or settlement requiring
               compliance.

<PAGE>   5

          (c)  Executive acknowledges that the remedies at law for any breach by
               Executive of the provisions of Section 8 hereof will be
               inadequate and that the Corporation shall be entitled to
               injunctive relief against Executive in the event of any such
               breach or anticipatory breach, in addition to any other remedies
               and damages available. Executive acknowledges that the
               restrictions contained herein are reasonable but agrees that if a
               Court of competent jurisdiction shall hold such restrictions
               unreasonable as to time, geographic area, activities or
               otherwise, such restrictions shall be deemed to be reduced or
               modified to the extent necessary in the opinion of such court to
               make them reasonable.

          (d)  The Executive may, subject to the terms of Section 8, perform
               services for third parties during the Consulting Term or
               thereafter, provided they do not otherwise interfere with
               performance of his responsibility under this Consulting
               Agreement.

     9.   Indemnification Agreement. The Corporation agrees to indemnify, save
          harmless and defend the Executive during the Consulting Term pursuant
          to the Indemnification and Insurance Agreement attached hereto as
          Exhibit A. This Indemnification Agreement is to be in addition to the
          Indemnification and Insurance Agreement dated June 17, 1987 by and
          between the Executive and the Corporation which is hereby ratified and
          confirmed by the Corporation and the Executive.

          Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and for all purposes shall be construed

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

                  WHEREAS, the Company has employed the Executive in an officer
position and has determined that the Executive holds an important position with
the Company;

                  WHEREAS, the Company believes that, in the event it is
confronted with a situation that could result in a change in ownership or
control of the Company, continuity of management will be essential to its
ability to evaluate and respond to such situation in the best interests of
stockholders;

                  WHEREAS, the Company understands that any such situation will
present significant concerns for the Executive with respect to the Executive's
financial and job security;

                  WHEREAS, the Company desires to assure itself of the
Executive's services during the period in which it is confronting such a
situation, and to provide the Executive certain financial assurances to enable
the Executive to perform the responsibilities of the position without undue
distraction and to exercise judgment without bias due to personal circumstances;

                  WHEREAS, to achieve these objectives, the Company and the
Executive desire to enter into an agreement providing the Company and the
Executive with certain rights and obligations upon the occurrence of a Change of
Control or Potential Change of Control (as defined in Section 2);

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual
covenants herein contained, and intending to be legally bound, it is hereby
agreed by and between the Company and the Executive as follows:

                  1. Operation of Agreement. (a) Effective Date. The effective
date of this Agreement shall be the date on which a Change of Control occurs
(the "Effective Date"), provided that, except as provided in Section 1(b), if
the Executive is not employed by the Company on the Effective Date, this
Agreement shall be void and without effect.

                  (b) Termination of Employment Following a Potential Change of
Control. Notwithstanding Section 1(a), if (i) the Executive's employment is
terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in Section 6(c)) or by the
Executive with Good Reason (as defined in Section 6(d)) after the occurrence of
a Potential Change of Control and prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control
and (ii) a Change of Control occurs within one year of such termination, the
Executive shall be deemed, solely for

<PAGE>   2

purposes of determining the Executive's rights under this Agreement, to have
remained employed until the Effective Date and to have been terminated by the
Company without Cause immediately after this Agreement becomes effective.

                  2. Definitions.

                  (a) Change of Control. For the purposes of this Agreement, a
"Change of Control" shall mean:

                  (i) The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within
         the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange

         thereto) (a "Person") of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of
         Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act or any successor rule
         thereto) of securities of the Company entitling such Person to 30% or
         more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting
         securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of
         directors (the "Voting Power"); provided, however, that for purposes of
         this subsection (i), the following acquisitions shall not constitute or
         cause a Change in Control: (A) any acquisition directly from the

         by the Company, or (C) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or
         related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or by the
         Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan or related trust or by any
         corporation controlled by the Company; or

                  (ii) Completion of a tender offer to acquire securities of the
         Company entitling the holders thereof to 30% or more of the Voting
         Power of the Company, excepting any acquisitions specified in
         subsection (i), above, that do not constitute a Change of Control; or

                  (iii) A successful solicitation subject to Rule 14a-11 under
         the Exchange Act relating to the election or removal of 50% or more of
         the members of any class of the Board shall be made by any Person other
         than the Company or less than 51% of the members of the Board shall be
         Continuing Directors; or

                  (iv) The occurrence of a merger, consolidation, share
         exchange, division or sale or other disposition of assets of the
         Company, and as a result of which the shareholders of the Company
         immediately prior to such transaction do not hold, directly or
         indirectly, immediately following such transaction a majority of the
         Voting Power of (i) in the case of a merger or consolidation, the
         surviving or resulting company, (ii) in the case of a share exchange,
         the acquiring company, or (iii) in the case of a division or a sale or
         other disposition of assets, each surviving, resulting or acquiring
         company which, immediately following the transaction, holds more than
         30% of the consolidated assets of the Company immediately prior to the
         transaction; or

                  (v) A majority of the Board otherwise determines that a Change
in Control shall have occurred.

                  (b) Potential Change of Control. For the purposes of this
Agreement, a Potential Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred if:

                  (i) a Person commences a tender offer (with adequate
         financing) for securities representing at least 30% of the Voting Power
         of the Company's securities or announces or otherwise makes known a
         bona fide intent to commence such a tender offer, excepting any offers
         that, if completed, would result in an acquisition not constituting a
         Change of Control; or

                  (ii) the Company enters into an agreement the consummation of
         which would constitute a Change of Control; or

                  (iii) there is commenced a solicitation of proxies for the
         election of directors of the Company by anyone other than the Company
         which solicitation, if successful, would effect a Change of Control; or

                  (iv) any other event occurs which is deemed to be a Potential
         Change of Control by the Board in its reasonable determination after a
         consideration of relevant facts and circumstances.

                  (c) Board. For purposes of this Agreement, "Board" shall mean
the Board of Directors of the Company.

                  (d) Continuing Directors. For purposes of this Agreement,
"Continuing Directors" shall mean a director of the Company who either (i) was a
director of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Date or (ii) is an
individual whose election, or nomination for election, as a director of the
Company was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then
still in office who were Continuing Directors (other than an individual whose
initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened
election contest relating to the election of directors of the Company which
would be subject to Rule 14a-11 under the Exchange Act).

                  3. Employment Period. Subject to Section 6 of this Agreement,
the Company agrees to continue the Executive in its employ, and the Executive
agrees to remain in the employ of the Company, for the period (the "Employment
Period") commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the twenty-four month
anniversary of the Effective Date.

                  4. Position and Duties. (a) No Reduction in Position. During
the Employment Period, the Executive's position (including titles), authority,
responsibilities and status shall be at least commensurate with those held,
exercised and assigned immediately prior to the Effective Date. It is understood
that, for purposes of this Agreement, such position, authority, responsibilities
and status shall not be regarded as not commensurate merely by virtue of the
fact that a successor shall have acquired all or substantially all of the
business and/or assets of the Company as contemplated by Section 12(b) of this
Agreement. The Executive's services shall be performed at the

                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4

location where the Executive was employed immediately preceding the Effective
Date or any office or location within 35 miles from such location (or such other
distance not in excess of 50 miles as shall be set forth in the Company's
relocation policy as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date).

                  (b) Business Time. During the Employment Period, the Executive
agrees to devote full attention during normal business hours to the business and
affairs of the Company and to use his best efforts to perform faithfully and
efficiently the responsibilities assigned to the Executive hereunder, to the
extent necessary to discharge such responsibilities, except for (i) time spent
in managing personal, financial and legal affairs and serving on corporate,
civic or charitable boards or committees, in each case only if and to the extent
not substantially interfering with the performance of such responsibilities, and
(ii) periods of vacation and sick leave to which the Executive is entitled. It
is expressly understood and agreed that the Executive's continuing to serve on
any boards and committees on which the Executive is serving or with which the
Executive is otherwise associated immediately preceding the Effective Date shall
not be deemed to interfere with the performance of the Executive's services to
the Company.

                  5. Compensation. (a) Base Salary. During the Employment
Period, the Executive shall receive a base salary at a monthly rate at least
equal to the monthly salary paid to the Executive by the Company and any of its
affiliated companies immediately prior to the Effective Date. The base salary
may be increased (but not decreased) at any time and from time to time by action
of the Board or any committee thereof or any individual having authority to take
such action in accordance with the Company's regular practices. The Executive's
base salary, as it may be increased from time to time, shall hereafter be
referred to as "Base Salary". Neither the Base Salary nor any increase in Base
Salary after the Effective Date shall serve to limit or reduce any other
obligation of the Company hereunder.

                  (b) Annual Bonus. During the Employment Period, in addition to
the Base Salary, for each fiscal year of the Company ending during the
Employment Period and for each partial fiscal year during the Employment Period,
the Executive shall be afforded the opportunity to receive an annual bonus or
partial bonus, as applicable, on terms and conditions no less favorable to the
Executive (taking into account reasonable changes in the Company's goals and
objectives) than the annual bonus opportunity that had been made available to
the Executive for the fiscal year ended immediately prior to the Effective Date,
provided that the amount of bonus which shall be awarded to the Executive during
each year of the Employment Period shall be an amount not less than the average
bonus earned by such Executive during the five fiscal year period of the Company
ending immediately prior to the Effective Date (the "Annual Bonus Opportunity"),
with the average bonus calculated by dividing the total bonuses paid to the
Executive for such five year period by the total number of years for which any
bonus was paid. Any amount payable in respect of the Annual Bonus Opportunity
shall be paid as soon as practicable following the year for which the amount (or
prorated portion) is earned or awarded, unless electively deferred by the
Executive pursuant to any deferral programs or arrangements that the Company may
make available to the Executive.

<PAGE>   5

                  (c) Long-term Incentive Compensation Programs. During the
Employment Period, the Executive shall participate in all long-term incentive
compensation programs for key executives, including stock option or stock
incentive plans, at a level that is commensurate with the Executive's
opportunity to participate in such plans immediately prior to the Effective
Date, or, if more favorable to the Executive, at the level made available to the
Executive or other similarly situated officers at any time thereafter. During
the Employment Period, the Company will offer such plans and programs to the
Executive as were in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control or, if
more favorable to the Executive when measured against particular plans or
programs previously offered, replacement plans or programs.

                  (d) Benefit Plans. During the Employment Period, the Executive
(and, to the extent applicable, the Executive's dependents) shall be entitled to
participate in or be covered under all pension, retirement, deferred
compensation, savings, medical, dental, health, disability, group life,
accidental death and travel accident insurance plans and programs of the Company
and its affiliated companies at a level that is commensurate with the
Executive's participation in such plans immediately prior to the Effective Date,
or, if more favorable to the Executive, at the level made available to the
Executive or other similarly situated officers at any time thereafter. During
the Employment Period, the Company will offer such plans and programs to the
Executive as were in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control or, if
more favorable to the Executive when measured against particular plans or
programs previously offered, replacement plans or programs. All payments by the
Company hereunder excepting payments for Accrued Obligations shall be taken into
account (to the extent permitted by, and consistent with, law and the terms of
the applicable plan document) in determining the amount of contributions to be
made by or on behalf of the Executive under any tax-qualified defined
contribution plan of the Company.

                  (e) Expenses. During the Employment Period, the Executive
shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable expenses
incurred by the Executive in accordance with the policies and procedures of the
Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company shall apply the policies and procedures in effect
after the Effective Date to the Executive, if such policies and procedures are
more favorable to the Executive than those in effect immediately prior to the
Effective Date.

                  (f) Vacation and Fringe Benefits. During the Employment
Period, the Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation and fringe benefits at
a level that is commensurate with the paid vacation and fringe benefits
available to the Executive immediately prior to the Effective Date, or, if more
favorable to the Executive, at the level made available from time to time to the
Executive or other similarly situated officers at any time thereafter.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>   6

                  (g) Indemnification. During and after the Employment Period,
the Company shall indemnify the Executive and hold the Executive harmless from
and against any claim, loss or cause of action arising from or out of the
Executive's performance as an officer, Director or employee of the Company or
any of its subsidiaries or in any other capacity, including any fiduciary
capacity, in which the Executive serves at the request of the Company to the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law and the Company's Articles of
Incorporation and By-laws (the "Governing Documents") and the Company shall
maintain existing or comparable policies of insurance covering such matters,
provided that in no event shall the protection afforded to the Executive
hereunder be less than that afforded under the Governing Documents as in effect
immediately prior to the Effective Date.

                  (h) Office and Support Staff. The Executive shall be entitled
to an office with furnishings and other appointments, and to secretarial and
other assistance, at a level that is at least commensurate with the foregoing
provided to other similarly situated officers provided that such items shall be
at least equivalent to those provided for the Executive immediately prior to the
Effective Date.

                  6. Termination. (a) Death, Disability or Retirement. Subject
to the provisions of Section 1 hereof, this Agreement shall terminate
automatically upon the Executive's death, termination due to permanent and total
disability ("Disability") within the meaning of section 22(e)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), or successor provision, or voluntary
retirement under any of the Company's retirement plans as in effect from time to
time.

                  (b) Voluntary Termination. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, following a Change of Control the Executive may, upon
not less than 30 days' written notice to the Company, voluntarily terminate
employment for any reason (including early retirement under the terms of any of
the Company's retirement plans as in effect from time to time), provided that
any termination by the Executive pursuant to Section 6(d) on account of Good
Reason (as defined therein) shall not be treated as a voluntary termination
under this Section 6(b).

                  (c) Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive's
employment for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" means (i) the
Executive's conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony; (ii) an act
or acts of dishonesty or gross misconduct on the Executive's part which result
or are intended to result in material damage to the Company's business or
reputation; or (iii) the willful and continued failure by Executive to
substantially perform the required duties with the Company (other than any such
failure resulting from Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental illness
or Disability or any actual or anticipated failure after the termination by
Executive for Good Reason as defined in paragraph 6(d), below) after a written
demand for substantial performance is delivered to Executive by the Company,
which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Company believes
that Executive has not substantially performed the required duties.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>   7

                  (d) Good Reason. Following the occurrence of a Change of
Control or Potential Change of Control, the Executive may terminate employment
for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" means the
occurrence of any of the following, without the express written consent of the
Executive, after the occurrence of a Change of Control or Potential Change of
Control:

                  (i) (A) the assignment to the Executive of any duties
         inconsistent in any material adverse respect with the Executive's
         position, authority, responsibilities or status as contemplated by
         Section 4 of this Agreement, or (B) any other material adverse change
         in such position, responsibilities, authority or status, or any removal
         of the Executive from or any failure to re-elect the Executive to any
         position, except in connection with the termination of the Executive's
         employment due to Cause, Disability, retirement, death or voluntary
         termination for reasons other than those set forth in this Section
         6(d);

                  (ii) any failure by the Company to comply with any of the
         provisions of Section 5 of this Agreement, other than an insubstantial
         or inadvertent failure remedied by the Company promptly after receipt
         of notice thereof given by the Executive;

                  (iii) any purported termination of the employment of the
         Executive by the Company which is not due to the Executive's
         Disability, death, retirement, for Cause in accordance with Section
         6(c) or voluntary termination for reasons other than those set forth in
         this Section 6(d);

                  (iv) the Company's requiring the Executive to be based at any
         office or location more than 35 miles (or such other distance not in
         excess of 50 miles as shall be set forth in the Company's relocation
         policy as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date) from that
         location at which the Executive performed services specified under the
         provisions of Section 4 immediately prior to the Change of Control, or
         the Company's requiring the Executive to travel on Company business to
         a substantially greater extent than required immediately prior to the
         Effective Date; or

                  (v) any failure by the Company to obtain the assumption and
         agreement to perform this Agreement by a successor as contemplated by
         Section 12(b).

In no event shall the mere occurrence of a Change of Control, absent any further
impact on the Executive, be deemed to constitute Good Reason.

                  (e) Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company for
Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason shall be communicated by Notice of
Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 13(e).
For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" means a written notice
given, in the case of a termination for Cause, within 10 business days of the
Company's having actual knowledge of the events giving rise to such termination,
and in the case of a termination for Good Reason, within 180 days of the
Executive's having actual knowledge of the

                                      -7-
<PAGE>   8

events giving rise to such termination, and which (i) indicates the specific
termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) sets forth in
reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for
termination of the Executive's employment under the provision so indicated, and
(iii) if the termination date is other than the date of receipt of such notice,
specifies the termination date (which date shall be not more than 15 days after
the giving of such notice). The failure by the Executive to set forth in the
Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of
Good Reason shall not waive any right of the Executive hereunder or preclude the
Executive from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive's
rights hereunder.

                  (f) Date of Termination. For the purpose of this Agreement,
the term "Date of Termination" means (i) in the case of a termination for which
a Notice of Termination is required, the date of receipt of such Notice of
Termination or, if later, the date specified therein, as the case may be, and
(ii) in all other cases, the actual date on which the Executive's employment
terminates during the Employment Period.

                  7. Obligations of the Company upon Termination. (a) Death or
Disability. If the Executive's employment is terminated during the Employment
Period by reason of the Executive's death or Disability, this Agreement shall
terminate without further obligations to the Executive or the Executive's legal
representatives under this Agreement other than those obligations accrued
hereunder at the Date of Termination, and the Company shall pay to the Executive
(or the Executive's beneficiary or estate) (i) the Executive's full Base Salary
through the Date of Termination (the "Earned Salary"), (ii) any vested amounts
or benefits owing to the Executive under the Company's otherwise applicable
employee benefit plans and programs, including any compensation previously
deferred by the Executive (together with any accrued earnings thereon) and not
yet paid by the Company and any accrued vacation pay not yet paid by the Company
(the "Accrued Obligations"), and (iii) any other benefits payable due to the
Executive's death or Disability under the Company's plans, policies or programs
(the "Additional Benefits").

                  Any Earned Salary shall be paid in cash in a single lump sum
as soon as practicable, but in no event more than 30 days (or at such earlier
date required by law), following the Date of Termination. Accrued Obligations
and Additional Benefits shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the
applicable plan, program or arrangement.

                  (b) Cause and Voluntary Termination. If, during the Employment
Period, the Executive's employment shall be terminated for Cause or voluntarily
terminated by the Executive (other than on account of Good Reason following a
Change of Control), the Company shall pay the Executive (i) the Earned Salary in
cash in a single lump sum as soon as practicable, but in no event more than 30
days (or at such earlier date required by law), following the Date of
Termination, and (ii) the Accrued Obligations in accordance with the terms of
the applicable plan, program or arrangement.

                  (c) Termination by the Company other than for Cause and
Termination by the Executive for Good Reason.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>   9

                  (i) Lump Sum Payments. If, during the Employment Period, the
         Company terminates the Executive's employment other than for Cause, or
         the Executive terminates employment for Good Reason, the Company shall
         pay to the Executive the following amounts:

                  (A) the Executive's Earned Salary;

                  (B) a cash amount (the "Severance Amount') equal to two times
                      the sum of

                      (1)  the Executive's annual Base Salary; and

                      (2)  the average of the bonuses payable to the Executive
                           for the five fiscal years of the Company ending
                           immediately prior to the Effective Date calculated by
                           dividing the total bonuses paid to the Executive for
                           such five year period by the total number of years
                           for which any bonus was paid; and

                  (C) the Accrued Obligations.

The Earned Salary and Severance Amount shall be paid in cash in a single lump
sum as soon as practicable, but in no event more than 30 days (or at such
earlier date required by law), following the Date of Termination. Accrued
Obligations shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan,
program or arrangement.

                  (ii) Continuation of Benefits. If, during the Employment
         Period, the Company terminates the Executive's employment other than
         for Cause, or the Executive terminates employment for Good Reason, the
         Executive (and, to the extent applicable, the Executive's dependents)
         shall be entitled, after the Date of Termination until the earlier of
         (x) the twenty-four month anniversary of the Date of Termination (the
         "End Date") and (y) the date the Executive becomes eligible for
         comparable benefits under a similar plan, policy or program of a
         subsequent employer, to continue participation in all of the Company's
         employee and executive welfare and fringe benefit plans (the "Benefit
         Plans"). To the extent any such benefits cannot be provided under the
         terms of the applicable plan, policy or program, the Company shall
         provide a comparable benefit under another plan or from the Company's
         general assets. The Executive's participation in the Benefit Plans will
         be on the same terms and conditions that would have applied had the
         Executive continued to be employed by the Company through the End Date.

                  (d) Limit on Payments by the Company.

                  (i) Application of Section 7(d). In the event that any amount
         or benefit paid or distributed to the Executive pursuant to this
         Agreement, taken together with any amounts or benefits otherwise paid
         or distributed to the Executive by the Company or any affiliated
         company (collectively, the "Covered Payments"), would be an "excess
         parachute payment" as defined in Section 280G of the Code and would
         thereby subject the Executive to the tax (the "Excise Tax")

                                      -9-
<PAGE>   10

         imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (or any similar tax that may
         hereafter be imposed), the provisions of this Section 7(d) shall apply
         to determine the amounts payable to Executive pursuant to this
         Agreement.

                  (ii) Calculation of Benefits. Immediately following delivery
         of any Notice of Termination, the Company shall notify the Executive of
         the aggregate present value of all termination benefits to which the
         Executive would be entitled under this Agreement and any other plan,
         program or arrangement as of the projected Date of Termination,
         together with the projected maximum payments, determined as of such
         projected Date of Termination, that could be paid without the Executive
         being subject to the Excise Tax.

                  (iii) Imposition of Payment Cap. If (A) the aggregate value of
         the Severance Amount, Accrued Obligations, and continuation of benefits
         to be paid or provided to the Executive under this Agreement and any
         other plan, agreement or arrangement with the Company exceeds the
         amount which can be paid to the Executive without the Executive
         incurring an Excise Tax and (B) the Executive would receive a greater
         net-after-tax amount (taking into account all applicable taxes payable
         by the Executive, including any Excise Tax) by applying the limitation
         contained in this Section 7(d)(iii), then such amounts payable to the
         Executive under this Section 7 shall be reduced (but not below zero) to
         the maximum amount which may be paid hereunder without the Executive
         becoming subject to such an Excise Tax (such reduced payments to be
         referred to as the "Payment Cap"). In the event that Executive receives
         reduced payments and benefits pursuant to the previous sentence,
         Executive shall have the right to designate which of the payments and
         benefits otherwise provided for in this Agreement that the Executive
         will receive in connection with the application of the Payment Cap.

                  (iv) Application of Section 280G. For purposes of determining
         whether any of the Covered Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax
         and the amount of such Excise Tax,

                  (A) such Covered Payments will be treated as "parachute
                      payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code,
                      and all "parachute payments" in excess of the "base
                      amount" (as defined under Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code)
                      shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax, unless, and
                      except to the extent that, in the good faith judgment of
                      the Company's independent certified public accountants
                      appointed prior to the Effective Date or tax counsel
                      selected by such accountants (the "Accountants"), the
                      Company has a reasonable basis to conclude that such
                      Covered Payments (in whole or in part) either do not
                      constitute "parachute payments" or represent reasonable
                      compensation for personal services actually rendered
                      (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code)
                      in excess of the "base amount," or such "parachute
                      payments" are otherwise not subject to such Excise Tax,
                      and

                  (B) the value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment
                      or benefit shall be determined by the Accountants in
                      accordance with the principles of Section 280G of the
                      Code.

                  (v) For purposes of determining whether the Executive would
         receive a greater net-after-tax benefit were the amounts payable under
         this Agreement reduced in accordance with Paragraph 7(d)(iii), the
         Executive shall be deemed to pay:

                  (A) Federal income taxes at the highest applicable marginal
                      rate of Federal income taxation for the calendar year in
                      which the first amounts are to be paid hereunder, and

                  (B) any applicable state and local income taxes at the highest
                      applicable marginal rate of taxation for such calendar
                      year, net of the maximum reduction in Federal income taxes
                      which could be obtained from the deduction of such state
                      or local taxes if paid in such year;

provided, however, that the Executive may request that such determination be
made based on the Executive's individual tax circumstances, which shall govern
such determination so long as the Executive provides to the Accountants such
information and documents as the Accountants shall reasonably request to
determine such individual circumstances.

                  (vi) If the Executive receives reduced payments and benefits,
         under this Section 7(d) (or this Section 7(d) is determined not to be
         applicable to the Executive because the Accountants conclude that
         Executive is not subject to any Excise Tax) and it is established
         pursuant to a final determination of a court or an Internal Revenue
         Service proceeding (a "Final Determination") that, notwithstanding the
         good faith of the Executive and the Company in applying the terms of
         this Agreement, the aggregate "parachute payments" within the meaning
         of Section 280G of the Code paid to the Executive or for the
         Executive's benefit are in an amount that would result in the
         Executive's being subject to an Excise Tax, then the amount equal to
         such excess parachute payments shall be deemed for all purposes to be a
         loan to the Executive made on the date of receipt of such excess
         payments, which the Executive shall have an obligation to repay to the
         Company on demand, together with interest on such amount at the
         applicable Federal rate (as defined in Section 1274(d) of the Code)
         from the date of the payment hereunder to the date of repayment by the
         Executive. If this Section 7(d) is not applied to reduce the
         Executive's entitlements under this Section 7 because the Accountants
         determine that the Executive would not receive a greater net-after-tax
         benefit by applying this Section 7(d) and it is established pursuant to
         a Final Determination that, notwithstanding the good faith of the
         Executive and the Company in applying the terms of this Agreement, the
         Executive would have received a greater net-after-tax benefit by
         subjecting the Executive's payments and benefits hereunder to the
         Payment Cap, then the aggregate "parachute payments" paid to the
         Executive or for the Executive's benefit in excess of the Payment Cap
         shall be deemed for all purposes a loan to the Executive made on the
         date of

                                      -11-
<PAGE>   12

         receipt of such excess payments, which the Executive shall have an
         obligation to repay to the Company on demand, together with interest on
         such amount at the applicable Federal rate (as defined in Section
         1274(d) of the Code) from the date of the payment hereunder to the date
         of repayment by the Executive. If the Executive receives reduced
         payments and benefits by reason of this Section 7(d) and it is
         established pursuant to a Final Determination that the Executive could
         have received a greater amount without exceeding the Payment Cap, then
         the Company shall promptly thereafter pay the Executive the aggregate
         additional amount which could have been paid without exceeding the
         Payment Cap, together with interest on such amount at the applicable
         Federal rate (as defined in Section 1274(d) of the Code) from the
         original payment due date to the date of actual payment by the Company.

                  8. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. Except as expressly provided
herein, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive's
continuing or future participation in any benefit, bonus, incentive, stock
option or other plan or program provided by the Company or any of its affiliated
companies and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein
limit or otherwise prejudice such rights as the Executive may have under any
other agreements with the Company or any of its affiliated companies, including
employment agreements or stock option agreements. Amounts which are vested
benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan
or program of the Company or any of its affiliated companies at or subsequent to
the Date of Termination shall be payable in accordance with such plan or
program.

                  9. Full Settlement. The Company's obligation to make the
payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations
hereunder shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without
limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which
the Company may have against the Executive or others whether by reason of the
subsequent employment of the Executive or otherwise. In the event of a
termination of the Executive's employment by the Company other than for Cause or
termination of employment by the Executive for Good Reason, the Executive shall
have no duty to seek any other employment after termination of employment with
the Company and the Company hereby waives and agrees not to raise or use any
defense based on the position that the Executive had a duty to mitigate or
reduce the amounts due to the Executive hereunder by seeking other employment
whether suitable or unsuitable and should the Executive obtain other employment,
then the only effect of such on the obligations of the Company hereunder shall
be that the Company shall be entitled to credit against any payments which would
otherwise be made pursuant to Section 7(c)(ii) hereof, any comparable payments
to which the Executive is entitled under the employee and executive welfare
benefit plans maintained by the Executive's other employer or employers in
connection with services to such employer or employers after termination of the
Executive's employment with the Company.

                  10. Legal Fees and Expenses. If the Executive asserts any
claim in any contest (whether initiated by the Executive or by the Company) as
to the validity,

                                      -12-
<PAGE>   13

enforceability or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement, the Company
shall pay the Executive's costs (or cause such costs to be paid) in so
asserting, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses, if the Executive is the prevailing party in such contest, as
determined by the arbitrators selected pursuant to Section 13(b) hereof to
resolve such contest.

                  11. Confidential Information; Company Property. For and in
consideration of the salary and benefits to be provided by the Company
hereunder, including the severance arrangements set forth herein, the Executive
agrees that:

                  (a) Confidential Information. The Executive shall hold in a
fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential
information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its affiliated
companies, and their respective businesses, (i) obtained by the Executive during
the Executive's employment by the Company or any of its affiliated companies and
(ii) not otherwise public knowledge (other than by reason of an unauthorized act
by the Executive). After termination of the Executive's employment with the
Company, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Company, unless compelled pursuant to an order of a court or other body having
jurisdiction over such matter, communicate or divulge any such information,
knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those designated by it.

                  (b) Company Property. Except as expressly provided herein,
promptly following the Executive's termination of employment, the Executive
shall return to the Company all property of the Company and all copies thereof
in the Executive's possession or under the Executive's control.

                  (c) Injunctive Relief and Other Remedies with Respect to
Covenants. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and
obligations of the Executive with respect to confidentiality and Company
property relate to special, unique and extraordinary matters and that a
violation of any of the terms of such covenants and obligations will cause the
Company irreparable injury for which adequate remedies are not available at law.
Therefore, the Executive agrees that the Company shall (i) be entitled to pursue
an injunction, restraining order or such other equitable relief (without the
requirement to post bond) restraining Executive from committing any violation of
the covenants and obligations contained in this Section 11 and (ii) have no
further obligation to make any payments to the Executive hereunder following any
finding by a court or an arbitrator that the Executive has engaged in a material
violation of the covenants and obligations contained in this Section 11. These
remedies are cumulative and are in addition to any other rights and remedies the
Company may have at law or in equity. In no event shall an asserted violation of
the provisions of this Section 11 constitute a basis for deferring or
withholding any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement.

                  12. Successors. (a) This Agreement is personal to the
Executive and, without the prior written consent of the Company, shall not be
assignable by the Executive. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the Executive's legal representatives, including by will or the
laws of descent and distribution.

                                      -13-
<PAGE>   14

                  (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the Company and its successors. The Company shall require any
successor to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the
Company, whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation,
acquisition of stock, or otherwise, by an agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to the Executive, expressly to assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company would be
required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

                  13. Miscellaneous. (a) Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, applied without reference to principles of conflict of laws.

                  (b) Arbitration. Except to the extent provided in Section
11(d), any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this
Agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be
held in the City of Pittsburgh, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and except to the
extent inconsistent with this Agreement, shall be conducted in accordance with
the Expedited Employment Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association then in effect at the time of the arbitration, and otherwise in
accordance with principles which would be applied by a court of law or equity.
The arbitrator shall be acceptable to both the Company and the Executive. If the
parties cannot agree on an acceptable arbitrator, the dispute shall be heard by
a panel of three arbitrators, one appointed by each of the parties and the third
appointed by the other two arbitrators.

                  (c) Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended or modified
otherwise than by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their
respective successors and legal representatives.

                  (d) Entire Agreement. Excepting any plans, agreements or
arrangements specifically referred to in this Agreement, this Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the
matters referred to herein. No other agreement relating to the terms of the
Executive's employment by the Company, oral or otherwise, shall be binding
between the parties unless it is in writing and signed by the party against whom
enforcement is sought. There are no promises, representations, inducements or
statements between the parties other than those that are expressly contained
herein. The Executive acknowledges that he is entering into this Agreement of
his own free will and accord, and with no duress, that he has read this
Agreement and that he understands it and its legal consequences.

                  (e) Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be given by hand-delivery to the other party or by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid,

writing in accordance herewith. Notice and communications shall be effective
when actually received by the addressee.

                  (f) Tax Withholding. The Company shall withhold from any
amounts payable under this Agreement such Federal, state, foreign, or local
taxes or levies as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable
law or regulation.

                  (g) Severability; Reformation. In the event that one or more
of the provisions of this Agreement shall become invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected thereby. In the
event that any of the provisions of Section 11(a) or Section 11(c) are not
enforceable in accordance with its terms, the Executive and the Company agree
that such Sections shall be reformed to make such Sections enforceable in a
manner which provides the Company the maximum rights permitted at law.

                  (h) Effect of Agreement on Rights of Executive. The Executive
and the Company acknowledge that, except as may otherwise be provided under any
other written agreement between the Executive and the Company, the employment of
the Executive by the Company is "at will" and, prior to the Effective Date, the
Executive's employment may be terminated by either the Executive or the Company
at any time prior to the Effective Date, in which case the Executive shall have
no further rights under this Agreement except in circumstances relating to a
Potential Change of Control as provided for herein.

                  (i) Waiver. Waiver by any party hereto of any breach or
default by the other party of any of the terms of this Agreement shall not
operate as a waiver of any other breach or default, whether similar to or
different from the breach or default waived. No waiver of any provision of this
Agreement shall be implied from any course of dealing between the parties hereto
or from any failure by either party hereto to assert its or his rights hereunder
on any occasion or series of occasions.

                  (j) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
