Company. The CEO shall determine Corporate participants and the Business Unit
Heads shall determine Business Unit participants, in all cases with the
concurrence of the Michael Baker Corporation CEO and the Compensation Committee

eligible to receive any payout from the Plan that year.
ARTICLE IV
AWARDS
4.1 COMPONENTS OF PARTICIPANT AWARDS:
Each award may be based on (i) Corporate performance, (ii) Business Unit
performance, (iii) Business Segment/individual performance plan accomplishments.
4.2 CORPORATE PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND GOALS:
For each Plan Year, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and the
CEO shall agree on a range of performance goals for Corporate results. Each
performance range shall include a level of performance at which awards shall be
earned.
Measures of performance may include, but are not limited to, one or more
financial ratios such as earnings per share, profitability, return on equity and
return on assets. Performance measures need not be the same within the Company.
For 1998, corporate results shall be dependent upon audited corporate earnings
per share (after all incentives have been paid). Payouts related to this part of
the plan will be based upon step accomplishments and should not be pro-rated.
For treatment of corporate payouts, please refer to sections 4.5 and 4.6.
For 1998, performance level goals for earnings per share are:
Corporate
Performance Goal Setting
Level (Earnings Per Share)
----- --------------------
Level 1 On Plan $.66
Level 2 Commendable $.72
Level 3 Outstanding $.78
4.3 INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW CRITERIA
In order for an individual to be eligible for any portion of an incentive
compensation payout, they must receive at least a "3.0" or "Meets Expectations"
on the performance review form. This change is made to further reinforce Baker's
cultural strategy which embraces the importance of goal attainment and how those
goals are attained. As in last year's plan, an individual must receive a "2.6"
or greater on the performance plan in order to be eligible for the payout
related to individual performance goals.
4.4 BUSINESS UNIT PERFORMANCE:
Business Unit performance shall be reflected in the final award based upon the
Business Unit's Contribution to Corporate Overhead and Profit. The Incentive
Compensation Committee shall establish and approve Competent, Commendable and
Outstanding Contribution goals specific to each Business Unit at the beginning
of the Plan year. The Competent goal shall serve as a Threshold target which
must be met in order for Business Unit Managers and those having overall
Business Unit accountability to be eligible to receive an incentive payout based
upon their individual performance plans. In addition, the Competent goal shall
serve as a Threshold target which must be met in order for all Business Segment
participants to receive a payout based upon Business Unit performance. For
Business Segment participants, the incentive compensation award related to
Business Unit performance is based upon "step" accomplishment of Competent,
Commendable, or Outstanding goals and is not to be pro-rated.
Any Business Unit with an objective of a positive contribution performance (net
income before tax plus corporate overhead) which results in a year-end negative
contribution, may be eligible for the portion of incentive compensation
dependent on overall corporate earnings per share performance, pending CEO
approval as advised by the Incentive Compensation Committee. Any Business Unit
with an objective of a negative contribution performance (net income before tax
plus corporate overhead) which results in a year-end more negative contribution,
may be eligible for the portion of incentive compensation dependent on overall
corporate earnings per share performance, pending CEO approval as advised by the
Incentive Compensation Committee. Factors to be taken into consideration may
include the amount of deviation from objective, impact of the contribution of
the Business Unit to the Corporation and any extraordinary issues.
Any Business Unit with an objective of a negative contribution which results in
a year-end more favorable performance, will be eligible for the portion of
incentive compensation dependent on overall corporate performance.
4.5 BUSINESS SEGMENT PERFORMANCE:
Business Segment performance shall be reflected in the final award based on the
Business Segment's Contribution to Corporate Overhead and Profit. The Incentive
Compensation Committee shall approve Competent, Commendable and Outstanding
Contribution goals specific to each Business Segment at the beginning of the
Plan year. The Competent goal shall serve as a Threshold target which must be
met in order for participants within the Segment to be eligible to receive an
incentive payout based upon individual performance plans.
Any Business Segment with an objective of a positive contribution performance
(net income before tax plus corporate overhead) which results in a year-end
negative contribution, may be eligible for the portion of incentive compensation
dependent on overall corporate earnings per share performance and/or Business
Unit Contribution to Overhead and Profit, pending CEO approval as advised by the
Incentive Compensation Committee. Any Business Segment with an objective of a
negative contribution performance (net income before tax plus corporate
overhead) which results in a year-end more negative contribution, may be
eligible for the portion of incentive compensation dependent on overall
corporate earnings per share performance and/or Business Unit Contribution to
Overhead and Profit, pending CEO approval as advised by the Incentive
Compensation Committee. Any Business Segment with an objective of a negative
contribution which results in a year-end more favorable performance, will be
eligible for the portion of incentive compensation dependent on overall
corporate performance and Business Unit Contribution to Overhead and Profit.
4.6 INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE:
Individual performance shall be reflected in the final award based on the
performance rating assigned to an Employee as part of the Performance Management
Process and is based upon a number of factors established by the participant's
manager(s) at the beginning of the Plan Year.
Guidelines of performance goals and percentage weights for Business Unit
managers are recommended to be:
% of Business Unit
Performance Plans
-----------------
Business Unit Contribution to 20%
Corporate Overhead and Profit
New Work Added To The Company 45%
Cash Flow Return on Investment (CFROI) 15%
Critical Success Factors (Continuous Improvement) 10%
Human Resources Development 10%
Guidelines of performance goals and percentage weights for Business Segment
participants are recommended to be:
% of Business Segment
and Individual
Performance Plans
-----------------
Business Segment Contribution to 20%
Corporate Overhead and Profit
New Work Added To The Company 45%
Accounts Receivables 15%
Critical Success Factors (Continuous Improvement) 10%
Human Resources Development 10%
The above guidelines are recommended but are not prescriptive, particularly for
functional positions (e.g.: finance, marketing, human resources). Individual
performance measures for incentive compensation participants are to be developed
jointly with the employee's immediate supervisor, be consistent with the
participant's respective job responsibilities, and be included on the
participant's performance plan. Participants may have plans that relate to
corporate, unit or segment. The performance plans are to be submitted to the CEO
by the Business Unit head or Functional Unit head by the designated time in the
Plan year. For individuals who become eligible for participation in the Plan
during the course of the year, a completed performance plan is to be submitted
within four weeks of the individual becoming eligible for participation.
At the end of the Plan Year, incentive compensation participants' managers will
determine the level of performance accomplished by the participant. Participant
performance which does not meet or exceed the Meets Expectations-On Plan
Performance-3 level on a specific goal will result in no incentive payout for
that specific performance goal. Once performance has exceeded the Meets
Expectations-On Plan Performance-3 level on a specific financial goal, any
performance beyond the 3 level will result in a pro-rated weighted calculation
of the incremental incentive compensation earned by the participant, until the
maximum level 5 performance is achieved. Once performance has exceeded the Meets
Expectations-On Plan Performance-3 level for major performance areas for
functional unit employees, any performance beyond the 3 level will result in a
pro-rated calculation, in increments of .5 (e.g.: 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 etc.), of the
incremental incentive compensation earned by the participant, until the maximum
level 5 performance is achieved.
Payout for participants meeting individual performance goals will occur when
Business Unit or Business Segment (as applicable) operating profit accomplishes
threshold performance indicated in each Business Unit's or Business Segment's
Performance Plan (after all individual incentives have been paid).
The specific accomplishments associated with these goals are to be recorded on
each participant's annual Performance Plan at the end of the Plan Year as part
of the overall performance evaluation.
4.7 DISCRETIONARY AWARDS:
In addition to individual performance incentives, a discretionary pool may be
created within Corporate and within each Business Unit to selectively award
those individuals who have exceeded expected performance. Guidelines for
discretionary awards are indicated within the Corporate and Business Units'
Incentive Compensation Plan Summary in the attachments. Functional Unit
discretionary awards are to be selected by the CEO with the concurrence of the
Incentive Compensation Committee. Business Unit discretionary awards are to be
selected by the Executive Vice President of the Business Unit with the
concurrence of the Incentive Compensation Committee.
ARTICLE V
PAYMENT OF AWARDS
5.1 PAYMENT OF AWARDS:
At the end of each Plan Year, the CEO shall report the overall Corporate and
individual performance levels to the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors, who shall then approve the payment of awards.
The incentive compensation earned as a result of the Company achieving corporate
profitability goals and through the achievement of Business Unit, Business
Segment and individual goals, will be paid in cash no later than March 15 of the
year after which it was earned.
5.2 PLAN FUNDING:
Accrual for the Incentive Compensation Plan will be established annually by the
Committee, subject to the approval of the CEO. The approved accrual for the
Incentive Compensation Plan shall pre-fund the amounts available to be earned
for incentive compensation distributions. Any forfeitures associated with the
termination of those in the incentive compensation plan prior to year-end will
be allocated toward the funding of the incentive pool for the following year. In
addition, if the incentive pool is not paid out in full because of Business
Unit, Business Segment or participants' failure to achieve goals established
under the Plan or the Performance Management Process, the unearned portion would
be allocated toward the funding of the incentive pool for the following year.
Any excess pre-funding accrual based upon corporate goals which are not met and,
therefore, not earned by Incentive Compensation Plan participants, will be
removed from expense.
ARTICLE VI
CHANGE IN CONTROL
6.1 CHANGE IN CONTROL:
In the event of a Change in Control of the Company, as defined below, a
Participant shall be entitled to, for the Plan Year in which the Change of
Control occurs, the award determined using:
(i) The Participant's actual Base Salary rate in effect on the date of the
Change in Control,
(ii) Actual Corporate performance results to the date of Change in Control,
and
(iii) Participant's Individual Performance results.
The Committee as constituted immediately prior to the Change in Control shall
determine how actual Corporate performance should be measured for purposes of
the award calculation in 6.1. The Committee's determination shall be conclusive
and final.
Awards and any previously accrued awards shall be paid in cash to the
Participant promptly following any discontinuance of the Plan on or after a
Change of Control.
6.2 DEFINITION OF CHANGE IN CONTROL:
A "Change in Control" will be deemed to have occurred on the first to occur of
the following:
(a) The Company acquires actual knowledge that any Person other than the
Company, a Subsidiary, the Company's Stock Ownership Plan and Trust or any
employee benefit plan(s) sponsored by the Company has acquired the
Beneficial Ownership, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
entitling such Person to 20% or more of the Voting Power of the Company;
(b) A Tender Offer is made to acquire securities of the Company entitling the
holders thereof to 20% or more of the Voting Power of the Company; or
(c) A solicitation subject to Rule 14a-11 under the 1934 Act (or any successor
Rule) 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
(d) The shareholders of the Company shall approve a merger, consolidation,
share exchange, division or sale or other disposition of assets of the
Company as a result of which the shareholders of the Company immediately
prior to such transaction shall 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
corporation, (ii) in the case of a share exchange, the acquiring
corporation or (iii) in the case of a division or a sale or other
disposition of assets, each surviving, resulting or acquiring corporation
which, immediately following the transaction, holds more than 10% of the
consolidated assets of the Company immediately prior to the transaction.
The term "person" shall mean and include any individual, corporation,
partnership, company, association or other "person," as such term is used in
Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act, other than the Company or any employee
benefit plans sponsored by the Company.
"Continuing Directors" shall mean a director of the Company who either (a) was a
director of the Company on the effective date of the Plan or (b) 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 1934 Act, or any successor Rule).

pursuant to Section 6.1 of this Plan.

settlement thereof, with the Company's approval, or paid by him in satisfaction
of any judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding against him provided he
shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend
