ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

         On June 2, 1999, Westinghouse Air Brake Company, a Delaware corporation
("WABCO"), agreed to merge with and into (the "Merger") MotivePower Industries,
Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation ("MotivePower"). The terms of the Merger are
set forth in an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as
of June 2, 1999, between WABCO and MotivePower. In the Merger, each share of
WABCO Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "WABCO Common Stock"), will
be converted into 1.3 shares of MotivePower's Common Stock, par value $0.01 per
share (the "MotivePower Common Stock"). WABCO and MotivePower issued a joint
press release announcing the execution of the Merger Agreement on June 3, 1999,
a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and which is incorporated herein
by reference.

         The Merger is intended to constitute a tax-free reorganization under
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and will be accounted for as a
pooling of interests.

         Consummation of the Merger is subject to various conditions, including:
(i) approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Merger by the
shareholders of each of WABCO and MotivePower; (ii) the expiration or
termination of applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the receipt of certain other approvals
required under foreign laws; (iii) registration of the shares of MotivePower
Common Stock to be issued in the Merger under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"); (iv) receipt of opinions of counsel as to the
federal tax treatment of certain aspects of the Merger; and (v) satisfaction of
certain other conditions.

         The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby will be
submitted for adoption and approval at the meetings of the shareholders of each
of MotivePower and WABCO. Prior to such meetings, MotivePower will file a
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering
under the Securities Act the MotivePower Common Stock to be issued in the
Merger. Such shares of MotivePower Common Stock will be offered to WABCO
shareholders pursuant to a prospectus that will also serve as a joint proxy
statement for the shareholders' meetings.

         The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is
filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and which is incorporated herein by reference.

         In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, MotivePower
and WABCO entered into the WABCO Stock Option Agreement (the "WABCO Option
Agreement") pursuant to which WABCO granted MotivePower an option (the "WABCO
Option") to purchase up to approximately 19% of the outstanding shares of WABCO
Common Stock (before giving effect to the WABCO Option) exercisable in the
circumstances specified in the WABCO Option Agreement. MotivePower and WABCO
also entered into the MotivePower Stock Option Agreement (the "MotivePower
Option Agreement") pursuant to which MotivePower granted WABCO an option (the
"MotivePower Option") to purchase up to approximately 19% of the outstanding
shares of

MotivePower Common Stock (before giving effect to the MotivePower Option)
exercisable in the circumstances specified in the MotivePower Option Agreement.

text of such agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 2.2 and 2.3
hereto and which are incorporated herein by reference.

Except as set forth in Section 2.12(a)(Y) of the WABCO Disclosure Letter, (i) no "reportable event" (within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA) has occurred within the past three years with respect to any WABCO Plan which could result in liability to WABCO, (ii) neither WABCO nor any of its ERISA Affiliates (as hereinafter defined) has withdrawn from any WABCO Multiemployer Plan (as hereinafter defined) at any time or instituted, or is currently considering taking, any action to do so, and (iii) no action has been taken, or is currently being considered, to terminate any WABCO Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA. (b) There has been no failure to make any contribution or pay any amount due to any WABCO Plan as required by Section 412 of the Code, Section 302 of ERISA, or the terms of any such Plan, and no WABCO Plan, nor any trust created thereunder, has incurred any "accumulated funding deficiency" (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA), whether or not waived. (c) With respect to WABCO Plans, no event has occurred and, to the Knowledge of WABCO, there exists no condition or set of circumstances in connection with which WABCO or any of its ERISA Affiliates would be subject to any liability under the terms of such WABCO Plans, ERISA, the Code or any other applicable law which has had, or would have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on WABCO. Except as listed on Section 2.12(c) of the WABCO Disclosure Letter, all WABCO Plans that are intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code have been determined by the IRS to be so qualified, or a timely application for such determination is now pending or will be filed on a timely basis and, except as listed on Section 2.12(c) of the WABCO Disclosure Letter, to the Knowledge of WABCO there is no reason why any WABCO Plan is not so qualified in operation.

To the Knowledge of WABCO, neither the termination of any WABCO Multiemployer Plan nor the complete or partial withdrawal by WABCO or any of its ERISA Affiliates from any WABCO Multiemployer Plan would result in any liability of WABCO or any of its ERISA Affiliates that would have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on WABCO.

Except as set forth in Section 2.14 of the WABCO Disclosure Letter, neither WABCO nor any of its Subsidiaries has infringed any Intellectual Property Rights of any third party other than any infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect on WABCO. Neither WABCO nor its Subsidiaries are aware of any infringement or misappropriation by any person with respect to the Intellectual Property Rights owned or used by WABCO or its Subsidiaries other than any such infringement or misappropriation that would not have a Material Adverse Effect on WABCO. All Intellectual Property Rights owned or used by WABCO or its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof will be owned or available for use by WABCO and its Subsidiaries on terms and conditions immediately following the Effective Date that are not materially different from those existing prior to the Effective Date. - 19 - 26 (b) WABCO and each of its Subsidiaries have conducted a commercially reasonable inventory and assessment of the hardware, software and embedded microcontrollers in non-computer equipment (the "Computer Systems") used by WABCO and its Subsidiaries in its business, in order to determine which parts of the Computer System are not yet Year 2000 Compliant (as defined below) and to estimate the cost of rendering such Computer Systems Year 2000 Compliant prior to January 1, 2000 or such earlier date on which the Computer Systems may shut down or produce incorrect calculations or otherwise malfunction without becoming totally inoperable. Based on the above inventory and assessment, the estimated cost of rendering the Computer Systems Year 2000 Compliant is $10 million, a portion of which has already been expended and the rest of which has been included in the current budget adopted by WABCO. For purposes of this Agreement, "Year 2000 Compliant" means that all of the Computer Systems will correctly recognize, manipulate and process (including calculating, comparing and sequencing) date information relating to dates before, on or after January 1, 2000 including leap year calculations, and that the operation and functionality of such Computer Systems will not be materially adversely affected by the advent of the year 2000 or any manipulation of data featuring date information relating to dates before, on or after January 1, 2000.

Except as set forth in Section 2.17 of the WABCO Disclosure Letter, no payment or other benefit, and no acceleration of the vesting of any options, payments or other benefits, will, as a direct or indirect result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, be (or under Section 280G of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder be presumed to be) a "parachute payment" to a "disqualified individual" (as those terms are defined in Section 280G of the - 21 - 28 Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder) with respect to WABCO or any of its Subsidiaries, without regard to whether such payment or acceleration is reasonable compensation for personal services performed or to be performed in the future.

WABCO or its applicable Subsidiary has good and marketable title in and to all of the WABCO Owned Property, subject to no Liens that would have a Material Adverse Effect on WABCO or materially impair WABCO's rights to or ability to use any such property, except as described on Section 2.24(a) of the WABCO Disclosure Letter. (b) Section 2.24(b) of the WABCO Disclosure Letter sets forth a list of all material leases, subleases and other occupancy agreements, including all amendments, extensions and other modifications (the "WABCO Leases") for real property (the "WABCO Leased Property"; the WABCO Owned Property and the WABCO Leased Property collectively the "WABCO Real Property") to which WABCO or any of its Subsidiaries is a party. WABCO or its applicable Subsidiary has a good and valid leasehold interest in and to all of the WABCO Leased Property, subject to no Liens except as described in Section 2.24(b) of the WABCO Disclosure Letter. Each WABCO Lease is in full force and effect and is enforceable in accordance with its terms. There exists no default or condition which, with the giving of notice, the passage of time or both, could become a default under any WABCO Lease in any case, that would have a Material Adverse Effect on WABCO or materially impair WABCO's rights to or ability to use any such property. WABCO has previously delivered to MotivePower true and complete copies of all the WABCO Leases. Except as described on Section 2.24(b) of the WABCO Disclosure Letter, no consent, waiver, approval or authorization is required from the landlord under any WABCO Lease as a result of the execution of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby the failure to obtain would have a Material Adverse Effect on WABCO or materially impair WABCO's rights to or ability to use any such property. - 23 - 30 Section 2.25. Material Contracts. There have been made available to MotivePower, its affiliates and their representatives true and complete copies of all of the following contracts to which WABCO or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound (collectively, the "WABCO Material Contracts"): (i) contracts with any current officer or director of WABCO or any of its Subsidiaries; (ii) contracts for the sale of any of the assets of WABCO or any of its Subsidiaries other than in the ordinary course of business or for the grant to any person of any preferential rights to purchase any of its assets other than inventory in the ordinary course of business; (iii) contracts containing covenants of WABCO or any of its Subsidiaries not to compete in any line of business or with any person in any geographical area or covenants of any other person not to compete with WABCO or any of its Subsidiaries in any line of business or in any geographical area; (iv) material indentures, credit agreements, mortgages, promissory notes, and all contracts relating to the borrowing of money; and (v) all other agreements contracts or instruments which, in the reasonable opinion of WABCO, are material to WABCO or any of its Subsidiaries.

Except as set forth in Section 3.27 of the MotivePower Disclosure Letter, neither MotivePower nor its Subsidiaries have agreed to provide any express product or service warranties other than (a) standard warranties, the terms of which have been provided to MotivePower and identified as MotivePower's standard warranties, (b) warranties that products are free from defects in workmanship or comply with standard or agreed specifications that are extended for terms of no more than two (2) years each and that expressly provide that cure is to be effected by repair or replacement of the defective or noncomplying products and (c) other warranties that, individually or in the aggregate, will not, if material claims are made thereunder, have a Material Adverse Effect on MotivePower. Section 3.28. Pooling Letter. MotivePower has received a draft of a letter (the "Draft Letter") from Deloitte & Touche LLP and addressed to MotivePower, a copy of which has been delivered to WABCO, in which Deloitte & Touche LLP concurs with the MotivePower management's conclusions that no conditions exist related to MotivePower that would preclude MotivePower from accounting for the Merger as a pooling of interests. MotivePower has also received a letter from Deloitte & Touche LLP dated as of June 2, 1999 and addressed to MotivePower, a copy of which has - 41 - 48 been delivered to WABCO, whereby Deloitte & Touche LLP states, subject to certain conditions precedent, that it expects to able to issue the Draft Letter at the Closing.

The entry by a court, in any suit brought by a private party or governmental or multinational authority challenging the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as violative of any Antitrust Law, of an order or decree permitting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, but requiring that any Business Unit of WABCO or its Subsidiaries or MotivePower or its Subsidiaries be divested or held separate (but only if such Business Units required to be held separate or divested do not in the aggregate have a fair market value of more than $25,000,000 or revenues for the most recently completed 12 months of more than $25,000,000), or that would otherwise limit the Surviving Corporation's freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, the Subsidiaries, other assets or businesses of the Constituent Corporations, shall not be deemed a failure to satisfy the conditions specified in Section 6.1(b) or Section 6.1(c) hereof. - 55 - 62 (c) (i) MotivePower and WABCO shall give, or shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to give, any notices to third parties, and use, and cause their respective Subsidiaries to use, their reasonable best efforts to obtain any third party consents (A) necessary, proper or advisable in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (B) required to prevent a Material Adverse Effect on MotivePower or a Material Adverse Effect on WABCO from occurring prior to or after the Effective Time. (ii) In the event that either party shall fail to obtain any third party consent described in Section 5.6(b)(i) above, such party shall use its reasonable best efforts, and shall take any such actions reasonably requested by the other party hereto, to minimize any adverse effect upon MotivePower and WABCO, their respective Subsidiaries, and their respective businesses resulting, or which could reasonably be expected to result after the Effective Time, from the failure to obtain such consent. Section 5.7. Public Disclosure.

(c) MotivePower acknowledges and agrees that the Common Stock Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of March 5, - 57 - 64 1997, as amended March 28, 1997 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), among WABCO, Harvard Private Capital Holdings, Inc.

("Vestar"), Vestar Capital Partners, Inc., Emilio A. Fernandez, Jr. and Emilio A. Fernandez, Jr., as custodian for Eric A. Fernandez and Ofelia B. Fernandez, upon the Effective Time, will be binding upon the Surviving Corporation as successor to WABCO as though the Surviving Corporation was a party thereto and the Surviving Corporation hereby agrees to perform all of the duties and covenants of WABCO ascribed therein, subject to the terms and conditions thereof. MotivePower agrees that any references to "Common Stock" in the Registration Rights Agreement shall be references to MotivePower Common Stock. (d) Prior to the Effective Time, WABCO shall cause the Voting Trust and the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, dated as of March 5, 1997, among the Voting Trust, Vestar, Harvard, AIP and WABCO to be terminated. Section 5.11. Listing or Quotation of Stock. MotivePower shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of MotivePower Common Stock to be issued in the Merger to be approved for listing on the NYSE on or prior to the Closing Date, subject to official notice of issuance. Section 5.12. Indemnification of Directors and Officers. (a) After the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, to the same extent and on the same terms and conditions provided for in the WABCO Certificate of Incorporation and the WABCO By-Laws, in each case as of the date of this Agreement, to the extent consistent with applicable law, indemnify and hold harmless, each present and former director or officer of WABCO and each Subsidiary of WABCO (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") against all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and settlement amounts paid in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), whether civil, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to any action or omission in their capacity as an officer or director, in each case occurring before the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). (b) For a period of six years from the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall provide to WABCO's current directors and officers liability insurance protection substantially equivalent in kind and scope as that provided by WABCO's current directors' and officers' liability insurance policies (copies of which have been made available to - 58 - 65 MotivePower); provided, however, that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend in any one year an amount in excess of 150% of the annual premiums currently paid by WABCO for such insurance; provided, further, that if during such period the annual premiums for such comparable insurance coverage exceed such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to provide a policy which, in the reasonable judgment of the Surviving Corporation, provides the best coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount. Section 5.13. WABCO Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each WABCO Stock Option, vested or unvested, which is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the WABCO Stock Plans in effect on the date hereof shall become and represent an option to purchase the number of shares of MotivePower Common Stock (a "Substitute Option") (decreased to the nearest full share) determined by multiplying (i) the number of shares of WABCO Common Stock subject to such WABCO Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share of MotivePower Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest cent), equal to the exercise price per share of WABCO Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio. It is the intention of the parties that the above formula shall be applied in a manner consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code. MotivePower shall pay cash to holders of WABCO Stock Options in lieu of issuing fractional shares of MotivePower Common Stock upon the exercise of Substitute Options for shares of MotivePower Common Stock, unless in the judgment of MotivePower such payment would adversely affect the ability to account for the Merger under the pooling of interests method. After the Effective Time, except as provided above in this Section 5.13, each Substitute Option shall be exercisable upon the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the related WABCO Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time. MotivePower shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of MotivePower Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of WABCO Stock Options. Promptly following the Effective Time of the Merger, MotivePower shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 or another appropriate form with respect to the shares of MotivePower Common Stock subject to such options and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such options remain outstanding. With respect to those individuals who subsequent to the Merger will be subject to the reporting requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, where applicable, MotivePower shall administer WABCO Option Plans in a manner that complies with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act to the extent WABCO Option Plans complied with such rule prior to the Merger. WABCO and MotivePower shall take all - 59 - 66 necessary action to implement or to provide for the implementation of the provisions of this Section 5.13. Section 5.14. WABCO Employee Stock Purchase Plan. WABCO agrees to take any and all action necessary pursuant to the terms of the ESPP to terminate such plan on June 30, 1999. Section 5.15. Benefit Plans to be Honored. (a) From and after the Effective Time, MotivePower shall honor and shall cause the WABCO Subsidiaries to honor all MotivePower Plans, all WABCO Plans and all employment agreements entered into by MotivePower or WABCO (or their Subsidiaries) prior to the date hereof; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted as limiting the power of MotivePower or the WABCO Subsidiaries to amend or terminate any WABCO Plan or any other individual employee benefit plan, program, agreement or policy or as requiring MotivePower to offer to continue (other than as required by its terms) any written employment contract. (b) All individuals who are employees of WABCO or a WABCO Subsidiary at the Effective Time (the "Affected Employees") shall be given credit for all service with WABCO and its Subsidiaries (or service credited by WABCO or such Subsidiaries) under all employee benefit plans and arrangements currently maintained by MotivePower or any of its Subsidiaries in which they become participants for purposes of eligibility, vesting, level of participant contribution and benefit accruals (except benefit accruals under defined benefit pension plans) to the same extent as if rendered to MotivePower or any of its Subsidiaries. MotivePower shall cause to be waived any pre-existing condition limitation under its welfare plans that might otherwise apply to an Affected Employee who may become covered by such plans. MotivePower agrees to recognize (or cause to be recognized) the dollar amount of all expenses incurred by Affected Employees during the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs for purposes of satisfying the calendar year deductions and co-payment limitations for such year under the relevant benefit plans of MotivePower and its Subsidiaries that may cover such employees. Section 5.16. State Takeover Laws. If any "fair price," "business combination" or "control share acquisition" statute or other similar statute or regulation shall become applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby, the WABCO Option Agreement or the MotivePower Option Agreement, WABCO and MotivePower and their respective Boards of Directors shall use their reasonable best efforts to grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the transactions contem plated hereby and thereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and thereby and otherwise act to minimize the effects of any such statute or regulation on the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. - 60 - 67 Section 5.17.

3 WABCO STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT dated as of June 2, 1999 (the "Agreement") between Westinghouse Air Brake Company, a Delaware corporation (the "Grantor"), and MotivePower Industries, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Grantee"). WHEREAS, the Grantor and the Grantee are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of the date hereof (the "Merger Agreement"), which provides, among other things, for the merger of Grantor with and into Grantee (the "Merger"); WHEREAS, as a condition and inducement to Grantee's willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Grantee has requested that the Grantor grant to the Grantee an option to purchase up to 6,453,710 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Grantor (the "Common Stock"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof; and WHEREAS, in order to induce the Grantee to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Grantor is willing to grant the Grantee the requested option. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. The Option; Exercise; Payment of Spread. (a) Contemporaneously herewith the Grantee and the Grantor are entering into the Merger Agreement. Subject to the other terms and conditions set forth herein, the Grantor hereby grants to the Grantee an irrevocable option (the "Option") to purchase up to 6,453,710 shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") at a cash purchase price equal to $21.6125 per share (the "Purchase Price"). The Option may be exercised by the Grantee, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, following (but not prior to) the occurrence of one of the events set forth in Section 3(c) hereof, and prior to the termination of the Option in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (b) In the event the Grantee wishes to exercise the Option, the Grantee shall send a written notice to the Grantor (the "Stock Exercise Notice") specifying a date (subject to the HSR Act (as defined below) and any other applicable regulatory approvals) not later than 10 business days and not earlier than three business days following the date such notice is given for the closing of such purchase. (c) If at any time the Option is then exercisable pursuant to the terms of Section 1(a) hereof, the Grantee may elect, in lieu of exercising the Option to purchase Shares provided in Section 1(a) hereof, to send a written notice to the 4 Grantor (the "Cash Exercise Notice") specifying a date not later than 20 business days and not earlier than 10 business days following the date such notice is given on which date the Grantor shall pay to the Grantee an amount in cash equal to the Spread (as hereinafter defined) multiplied by all or such portion of the Shares subject to the Option as Grantee shall specify. As used herein, "Spread" shall mean the excess, if any, over the Purchase Price of the higher (x) if applicable, the highest price per share of Common Stock (including any brokerage commissions, transfer taxes and soliciting dealers' fees) paid or proposed to be paid by any person pursuant to any Takeover Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (the "Alternative Purchase Price") or (y) the closing price of the shares of Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") Composite Tape, the American Stock Exchange (the "AMEX") or The Nasdaq National Market (the "Nasdaq"), as the case may be, on the last trading day immediately prior to the date of the Cash Exercise Notice (the "Closing Price"). If the Alternative Purchase Price includes any property other than cash, the Alternative Purchase Price shall be the sum of (i) the fixed cash amount, if any, included in the Alternative Purchase Price plus (ii) the fair market value of such other property. If such other property consists of securities with an existing public trading market, the average of the closing prices (or the average of the closing bid and asked prices if closing prices are unavailable) for such securities in their principal public trading market on the five trading days ending five days prior to the date of the Cash Exercise Notice shall be deemed to equal the fair market value of such property. If such other property consists of something other than cash or securities with an existing public trading market and, as of the payment date for the Spread, agreement on the value of such other property has not been reached, the Alternative Purchase Price shall be deemed to equal the Closing Price. Upon exercise of its right to receive cash pursuant to this Section 1(c), the obligations of the Grantor to deliver Shares pursuant to Section 4 shall be terminated with respect to such number of Shares for which the Grantee shall have elected to be paid the Spread. 2. Adjustments. (a) In the event of any change in the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, split-up, recapitalization, merger or other change in the corporate or capital structure of the Grantor, the number of Shares subject to this Option and the purchase price per Share shall be appropriately adjusted to restore the Grantee to its rights hereunder, including its right to purchase Shares representing 19% of the capital stock of the Grantor entitled to vote generally for the election of the directors of Grantor which is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the exercise of the Option. - 2 - 5 (b) Without limiting the parties' relative rights and obligations under the Merger Agreement, in the event that Grantor enters into an agreement (i) to consolidate with or merge into any person, other than Grantee or one of its subsidiaries, and Grantor will not be the continuing or surviving corporation in such consolidation or merger, (ii) to permit any person, other than Grantee or one of its subsidiaries, to merge into Grantor, and Grantor will be the continuing or surviving corporation, but in connection with such merger, the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of such merger will be changed into or exchanged for stock or other securities of Grantor or any other person or cash or any other property, or the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of such merger will, after such merger, represent less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the merged company, or (iii) to sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any person, other than Grantee or one of its subsidiaries, then, and in each such case, the agreement governing such transaction will make proper provision so that the Option will, upon the consummation of any such transaction and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, be converted into, or exchanged for, an option with identical terms appropriately adjusted to acquire the number and class of shares or other securities or property that Grantee would have received in respect to Common Stock if the Option had been exercised immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, or transfer, or the record date therefor, as applicable and make any other necessary adjustments. 3. Conditions to Delivery of Shares. The Grantor's obligation to deliver Shares upon exercise of the Option is subject only to the conditions that: (a) No preliminary or permanent injunction or other order issued by any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction in the United States prohibiting the delivery of the Shares shall be in effect; and (b) Any applicable waiting periods under the Hart- Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the "HSR Act") shall have expired or been terminated; and (c) (i) the Merger Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(i) and either (I) a Takeover Proposal with respect to Grantor shall have been made after the date of the Merger Agreement and prior to the Grantor Stockholders Meeting (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or (II) the Board of Directors of Grantor shall not have recommended or shall have modified in a manner materially adverse to Grantee its recommendation of the Merger Agreement and Merger; or (ii) the Merger Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(i), 7.1(j) or 7.1(k) of the Merger Agreement. - 3 - 6 4. The Closing. (a) Any closing hereunder shall take place on the date specified by the Grantee in its Stock Exercise Notice or Cash Exercise Notice, as the case may be, at 9:00 A.M., local time, at the offices of Doepken Keevican & Weiss, 58th Floor, USX Tower, 600 Grant Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, or, if the conditions set forth in Section 3(a), (b) or (c) have not then been satisfied, on the second business day following the satisfaction of such conditions, or at such other time and place as the parties hereto may agree (the "Closing Date"). On the Closing Date, (i) in the event of a closing pursuant to Section 1(b) hereof, the Grantor will deliver to the Grantee a certificate or certificates representing the Shares in the denominations designated by the Grantee in its Stock Exercise Notice and the Grantee will purchase such Shares from the Grantor at the price per Share equal to the Purchase Price or (ii) in the event of a closing pursuant to Section 1(c) hereof, the Grantor will deliver to the Grantee cash in an amount determined pursuant to Section 1(c) hereof. Any payment made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of federal funds to a bank designated by the party receiving such funds. (b) The certificates representing the Shares shall bear an appropriate legend relating to the fact that such Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). 5. Listing of Shares; Filings; Governmental Consents. Subject to applicable law and the rules and regulations of the NYSE, the AMEX or the Nasdaq, as the case may be, after the Option becomes exercisable hereunder, the Grantor will promptly file an application to list the Shares on the NYSE or the AMEX or quote the Shares on Nasdaq, as the case may be, and will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain approval of such listing and to effect all necessary filings by the Grantor under the HSR Act and the applicable laws of each state and foreign jurisdiction; provided, however, that if the Grantor is unable to effect such listing by the Closing Date, the Grantor will nevertheless be obligated to deliver the Shares upon the Closing Date. Each of the parties hereto will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain consents of all third parties and governmental authorities, if any, necessary to the consummation of the transactions contemplated. 6. Repurchase of Shares. If by the date that is the first anniversary of the date the Merger Agreement was terminated pursuant to the terms thereof (the "Merger Termination Date"), neither the Grantee nor any other Person has acquired more than fifty percent (excluding the Shares) of the shares of outstanding Common Stock, then the Grantor has the right to purchase (the "Repurchase Right") all, but not less than all, of the Shares acquired upon exercise of this Option at the greater of (i) the Purchase Price or (ii) the average of the last sales prices for - 4 - 7 shares of Common Stock on the five trading days ending five days prior to the date the Grantor gives written notice of its intention to exercise the Repurchase Right. If the Grantor does not exercise the Repurchase Right within thirty days following the end of the one-year period after the Merger Termination Date, the Repurchase Right lapses. In the event the Grantor wishes to exercise the Repurchase Right, the Grantor shall send a written notice to the Grantee specifying a date (not later than 20 business days and not earlier than 10 business days following the date such notice is given) for the closing of such purchase. 7. Sale of Shares. At any time prior to the first anniversary of the Merger Termination Date, the Grantee shall have the right to sell (the "Sale Right") to the Grantor all, but not less than all, of the Shares acquired upon exercise of this Option at the greater of (i) the Purchase Price or (ii) the average of the last sales prices for shares of Common Stock on the five trading days ending five days prior to the date the Grantee gives written notice of its intention to exercise the Sale Right. If the Grantee does not exercise the Sale Right prior to the first anniversary of the Merger Termination Date, the Sale Right terminates. In the event the Grantee wishes to exercise the Sale Right, the Grantee shall send a written notice to the Grantor specifying a date not later than 20 business days and not earlier than 10 business days following the date such notice is given for the closing of such sale. 8. Registration Rights. (a) In the event that the Grantee shall desire to sell any of the Shares within three years after the purchase of such Shares pursuant hereto, and such sale requires, in the opinion of counsel to the Grantee, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Grantor and its counsel, registration of such Shares under the Securities Act, the Grantor will cooperate with the Grantee and any underwriters in registering such Shares for resale, including, without limitation, promptly filing a registration statement, including if requested by Grantee a "shelf" registration statement under Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor provision, which complies with the requirements of applicable federal and state securities laws, and entering into an underwriting agreement with such underwriters upon such terms and conditions as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions; provided, however, that the Grantor shall not be required to have declared effective more than one registration statement hereunder and shall be entitled to delay the filing or effectiveness of any registration statement for up to 180 days if the offering would, in the judgment of the Board of Directors of the Grantor, require premature disclosure of any material corporate development or material transaction involving the Grantor or interfere with any previously planned securities offering by the Grantor. - 5 - 8 (b) If the Common Stock is registered pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8, the Grantor agrees (i) to furnish copies of the registration statement and the prospectus relating to the Shares covered thereby in such numbers as the Grantee may from time to time reasonably request and (ii) if any event shall occur as a result of which it becomes necessary to amend or supplement any registration statement or prospectus, to prepare and file under the applicable securities laws such amendments and supplements as may be necessary to keep available for at least 120 days a prospectus covering the Common Stock meeting the requirements of such securities laws, and to furnish the Grantee such numbers of copies of the registration statement and prospectus as amended or supplemented as may reasonably be requested. The Grantor shall bear the cost of the registration, including, but not limited to, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, and fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants for the Grantor, except that the Grantee shall pay the fees and disbursements of its counsel, and the underwriting fees and selling commissions applicable to the shares of Common Stock sold by the Grantee. The Grantor shall indemnify and hold harmless (i) Grantee, its affiliates and its officers and directors and (ii) each underwriter and each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (collectively, the "Underwriters") ((i) and (ii) being referred to as "Indemnified Parties") against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, to which the Indemnified Parties may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) and expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any registration statement filed pursuant to this paragraph, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that the Grantor will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Grantor by the Indemnified Parties expressly for use or incorporation by reference therein. (c) The Grantee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Grantor, its affiliates and its officers and directors against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which the Grantor, its affiliates and its officers and directors may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) and expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any registration statement filed pursuant to this paragraph, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact - 6 - 9 required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Grantor by the Grantee specifically for use or incorporation by reference therein. 9. Expenses. Each party hereto shall pay its own expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, except as otherwise specifically provided herein. 10. Specific Performance. The Grantor acknowledges that if the Grantor fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement immediate and irreparable harm or injury would be caused to the Grantee for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy. In such event, the Grantor agrees that the Grantee shall have the right, in addition to any other rights it may have, to specific performance of this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Grantee should institute an action or proceeding seeking specific enforcement of the provisions hereof, the Grantor hereby waives the claim or defense that the Grantee has an adequate remedy at law and hereby agrees not to assert in any such action or proceeding the claim or defense that such a remedy at law exists. The Grantor further agrees to waive any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with obtaining any such equitable relief. 11. Notice. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered personally, one day after being delivered to a nationally recognized overnight courier or when telecopied (with a confirmatory copy sent by such overnight courier) to the parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice): (a) if to the Grantee, to: Two Gateway Center 14th Floor Pittsburgh, PA 15222 Attention: Chief Executive Officer Facsimile No.: (412) 201-1116 with copies to: Doepken Keevican & Weiss 58th Floor, USX Tower 600 Grant Street Pittsburgh, PA 15219-2703 Attention: Leo A.

The right to exercise the Option granted pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate at the earliest of (i) the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (ii) if the Option is not exercised within 12 months days after first becoming exercisable and (iii) if not then exercisable, thirty days after termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms (the dates referred to in clause (ii) and (iii) being hereinafter referred to as the "Termination Date"); provided, however, that if the Option cannot be exercised or the Shares cannot be delivered to Grantee upon such exercise because the conditions set forth in Section 3(a), - 9 - 12 (b) or (c) hereof have not yet been satisfied, the Termination Date shall be extended until thirty days after such impediment to exercise or delivery has been removed. 22. Profit Limitation. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, in no event shall the Grantee's Total Profit (as hereinafter defined) exceed $30 million and, if it otherwise would exceed such amount, the Grantee shall repay such excess amount to Grantor in cash (or the purchase price for purposes of Section 6 or 7, as applicable, shall be reduced) so that Grantee's Total Profit shall not exceed $30 million after taking into account the foregoing actions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Option may not be exercised for a number of Shares as would, as of the date of the Stock Exercise Notice, result in a Notional Total Profit (as defined below) of more than $15 million and, if exercise of the Option otherwise would exceed such amount, the Grantee, at its discretion, may increase the Purchase Price for that number of Shares set forth in the Stock Exercise Notice so that the Notional Total Profit shall not exceed $15 million; provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall restrict any exercise of the Option permitted hereby on any subsequent date at the Purchase Price set forth in Section 1(a) hereof. As used herein, the term "Total Profit" shall mean the aggregate amount (before taxes) of the following: (i)(x) the amount of cash received by Grantee pursuant to Sections 7.3(b)(ii) and (c) (ii) of the Merger Agreement and Section 1(c) hereof, less (y) any repayment of such cash to Grantor, (ii)(x) the amount received by Grantee pursuant to the Grantor's repurchase of Shares pursuant to Sections 6 or 7 hereof, less (y) the Grantee's purchase price for such Shares, and (iii)(x) the net cash amounts received by Grantee pursuant to the sale of Shares (or any other securities into or for which such Shares are converted or exchanged) to any unaffiliated party, less (y) the Grantee's purchase price for such Shares. As used herein, the term "Notional Total Profit" with respect to any number of Shares as to which Grantee may propose to exercise this Option shall be the Total Profit determined as of the date of the Stock Exercise Notice assuming that this Option was exercised on such date for such number of Shares and assuming that such Shares, together with all Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option and held by Grantee and its affiliates as of such date, were sold for cash at the closing market price for the Common Stock as of the close of business on the preceding trading day (less customary brokerage commissions). 23. Public Announcement. Grantee and Grantor shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statement with respect to this Option and shall not issue any such press release or make any such - 10 - 13 public statement prior to such consultation and the receipt of approval therefor by the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except as may be required by law, court process or by stock exchange rules. - 11 - 14 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Grantee and the Grantor have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered on the day and year first above written.

3 MOTIVEPOWER STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT dated as of June 2, 1999 (the "Agreement") between MotivePower Industries, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Grantor") and Westinghouse Air Brake Company, a Delaware corporation (the "Grantee"). WHEREAS, the Grantor and the Grantee are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of the date hereof (the "Merger Agreement"), which provides, among other things, for the merger of Grantee with and into Grantor (the "Merger"); WHEREAS, as a condition and inducement to Grantee's willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Grantee has requested that the Grantor grant to the Grantee an option to purchase up to 5,133,655 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Grantor (the "Common Stock"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof; and WHEREAS, in order to induce the Grantee to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Grantor is willing to grant the Grantee the requested option. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. The Option; Exercise; Payment of Spread. (a) Contemporaneously herewith the Grantee and the Grantor are entering into the Merger Agreement. Subject to the other terms and conditions set forth herein, the Grantor hereby grants to the Grantee an irrevocable option (the "Option") to purchase up to 5,133,655 shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") at a cash purchase price equal to $16.625 per share (the "Purchase Price"). The Option may be exercised by the Grantee, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, following (but not prior to) the occurrence of one of the events set forth in Section 3(c) hereof, and prior to the termination of the Option in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (b) In the event the Grantee wishes to exercise the Option, the Grantee shall send a written notice to the Grantor (the "Stock Exercise Notice") specifying a date (subject to the HSR Act (as defined below) and any other applicable regulatory approvals) not later than 10 business days and not earlier than three business days following the date such notice is given for the closing of such purchase. (c) If at any time the Option is then exercisable pursuant to the terms of Section 1(a) hereof, the Grantee may elect, in lieu of exercising the Option to purchase Shares provided in Section 1(a) hereof, to send a written notice to the 4 Grantor (the "Cash Exercise Notice") specifying a date not later than 20 business days and not earlier than 10 business days following the date such notice is given on which date the Grantor shall pay to the Grantee an amount in cash equal to the Spread (as hereinafter defined) multiplied by all or such portion of the Shares subject to the Option as Grantee shall specify. As used herein, "Spread" shall mean the excess, if any, over the Purchase Price of the higher (x) if applicable, the highest price per share of Common Stock (including any brokerage commissions, transfer taxes and soliciting dealers' fees) paid or proposed to be paid by any person pursuant to any Takeover Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (the "Alternative Purchase Price") or (y) the closing price of the shares of Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") Composite Tape, the American Stock Exchange (the "AMEX") or The Nasdaq National Market (the "Nasdaq"), as the case may be, on the last trading day immediately prior to the date of the Cash Exercise Notice (the "Closing Price"). If the Alternative Purchase Price includes any property other than cash, the Alternative Purchase Price shall be the sum of (i) the fixed cash amount, if any, included in the Alternative Purchase Price plus (ii) the fair market value of such other property. If such other property consists of securities with an existing public trading market, the average of the closing prices (or the average of the closing bid and asked prices if closing prices are unavailable) for such securities in their principal public trading market on the five trading days ending five days prior to the date of the Cash Exercise Notice shall be deemed to equal the fair market value of such property. If such other property consists of something other than cash or securities with an existing public trading market and, as of the payment date for the Spread, agreement on the value of such other property has not been reached, the Alternative Purchase Price shall be deemed to equal the Closing Price. Upon exercise of its right to receive cash pursuant to this Section 1(c), the obligations of the Grantor to deliver Shares pursuant to Section 4 shall be terminated with respect to such number of Shares for which the Grantee shall have elected to be paid the Spread. 2. Adjustments. (a) In the event of any change in the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, split-up, recapitalization, merger or other change in the corporate or capital structure of the Grantor, the number of Shares subject to this Option and the purchase price per Share shall be appropriately adjusted to restore the Grantee to its rights hereunder, including its right to purchase Shares representing 19% of the capital stock of the Grantor entitled to vote generally for the election of the directors of Grantor which is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the exercise of the Option. - 2 - 5 (b) Without limiting the parties' relative rights and obligations under the Merger Agreement, in the event that Grantor enters into an agreement (i) to consolidate with or merge into any person, other than Grantee or one of its subsidiaries, and Grantor will not be the continuing or surviving corporation in such consolidation or merger, (ii) to permit any person, other than Grantee or one of its subsidiaries, to merge into Grantor, and Grantor will be the continuing or surviving corporation, but in connection with such merger, the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of such merger will be changed into or exchanged for stock or other securities of Grantor or any other person or cash or any other property, or the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of such merger will, after such merger, represent less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the merged company, or (iii) to sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any person, other than Grantee or one of its subsidiaries, then, and in each such case, the agreement governing such transaction will make proper provision so that the Option will, upon the consummation of any such transaction and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, be converted into, or exchanged for, an option with identical terms appropriately adjusted to acquire the number and class of shares or other securities or property that Grantee would have received in respect to Common Stock if the Option had been exercised immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, or transfer, or the record date therefor, as applicable and make any other necessary adjustments. 3. Conditions to Delivery of Shares. The Grantor's obligation to deliver Shares upon exercise of the Option is subject only to the conditions that: (a) No preliminary or permanent injunction or other order issued by any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction in the United States prohibiting the delivery of the Shares shall be in effect; and (b) Any applicable waiting periods under the Hart- Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the "HSR Act") shall have expired or been terminated; and (c) (i) the Merger Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(ii) and either (I) a Takeover Proposal with respect to Grantor shall have been made after the date of the Merger Agreement and prior to the Grantor Stockholders Meeting (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or (II) the Board of Directors of Grantor shall not have recommended or shall have modified in a manner materially adverse to Grantee its recommendation of the Merger Agreement and the Merger; or (ii) the Merger Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(e), 7.1(f) or 7.1(g) of the Merger Agreement. - 3 - 6 4. The Closing. (a) Any closing hereunder shall take place on the date specified by the Grantee in its Stock Exercise Notice or Cash Exercise Notice, as the case may be, at 9:00 A.M., local time, at the offices of Doepken Keevican & Weiss, 58th Floor, USX Tower, 600 Grant Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, or, if the conditions set forth in Section 3(a), (b) or (c) have not then been satisfied, on the second business day following the satisfaction of such conditions, or at such other time and place as the parties hereto may agree (the "Closing Date"). On the Closing Date, (i) in the event of a closing pursuant to Section 1(b) hereof, the Grantor will deliver to the Grantee a certificate or certificates representing the Shares in the denominations designated by the Grantee in its Stock Exercise Notice and the Grantee will purchase such Shares from the Grantor at the price per Share equal to the Purchase Price or (ii) in the event of a closing pursuant to Section 1(c) hereof, the Grantor will deliver to the Grantee cash in an amount determined pursuant to Section 1(c) hereof. Any payment made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of federal funds to a bank designated by the party receiving such funds. (b) The certificates representing the Shares shall bear an appropriate legend relating to the fact that such Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). 5. Listing of Shares; Filings; Governmental Consents. Subject to applicable law and the rules and regulations of the NYSE, the AMEX or the Nasdaq, as the case may be, after the Option becomes exercisable hereunder, the Grantor will promptly file an application to list the Shares on the NYSE or the AMEX or quote the Shares on Nasdaq, as the case may be, and will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain approval of such listing and to effect all necessary filings by the Grantor under the HSR Act and the applicable laws of each state and foreign jurisdiction; provided, however, that if the Grantor is unable to effect such listing by the Closing Date, the Grantor will nevertheless be obligated to deliver the Shares upon the Closing Date. Each of the parties hereto will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain consents of all third parties and governmental authorities, if any, necessary to the consummation of the transactions contemplated. 6. Repurchase of Shares. If by the date that is the first anniversary of the date the Merger Agreement was terminated pursuant to the terms thereof (the "Merger Termination Date"), neither the Grantee nor any other Person has acquired more than fifty percent (excluding the Shares) of the shares of outstanding Common Stock, then the Grantor has the right to purchase (the "Repurchase Right") all, but not less than all, of the Shares acquired upon exercise of this Option at the greater of (i) the Purchase Price or (ii) the average of the last sales prices for - 4 - 7 shares of Common Stock on the five trading days ending five days prior to the date the Grantor gives written notice of its intention to exercise the Repurchase Right. If the Grantor does not exercise the Repurchase Right within thirty days following the end of the one-year period after the Merger Termination Date, the Repurchase Right lapses. In the event the Grantor wishes to exercise the Repurchase Right, the Grantor shall send a written notice to the Grantee specifying a date (not later than 20 business days and not earlier than 10 business days following the date such notice is given) for the closing of such purchase. 7. Sale of Shares. At any time prior to the first anniversary of the Merger Termination Date, the Grantee shall have the right to sell (the "Sale Right") to the Grantor all, but not less than all, of the Shares acquired upon exercise of this Option at the greater of (i) the Purchase Price or (ii) the average of the last sales prices for shares of Common Stock on the five trading days ending five days prior to the date the Grantee gives written notice of its intention to exercise the Sale Right. If the Grantee does not exercise the Sale Right prior to the first anniversary of the Merger Termination Date, the Sale Right terminates. In the event the Grantee wishes to exercise the Sale Right, the Grantee shall send a written notice to the Grantor specifying a date not later than 20 business days and not earlier than 10 business days following the date such notice is given for the closing of such sale. 8. Registration Rights. (a) In the event that the Grantee shall desire to sell any of the Shares within three years after the purchase of such Shares pursuant hereto, and such sale requires, in the opinion of counsel to the Grantee, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Grantor and its counsel, registration of such Shares under the Securities Act, the Grantor will cooperate with the Grantee and any underwriters in registering such Shares for resale, including, without limitation, promptly filing a registration statement, including if requested by Grantee a "shelf" registration statement under Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor provision, which complies with the requirements of applicable federal and state securities laws, and entering into an underwriting agreement with such underwriters upon such terms and conditions as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions; provided, however, that the Grantor shall not be required to have declared effective more than one registration statement hereunder and shall be entitled to delay the filing or effectiveness of any registration statement for up to 180 days if the offering would, in the judgment of the Board of Directors of the Grantor, require premature disclosure of any material corporate development or material transaction involving the Grantor or interfere with any previously planned securities offering by the Grantor. - 5 - 8 (b) If the Common Stock is registered pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8, the Grantor agrees (i) to furnish copies of the registration statement and the prospectus relating to the Shares covered thereby in such numbers as the Grantee may from time to time reasonably request and (ii) if any event shall occur as a result of which it becomes necessary to amend or supplement any registration statement or prospectus, to prepare and file under the applicable securities laws such amendments and supplements as may be necessary to keep available for at least 120 days a prospectus covering the Common Stock meeting the requirements of such securities laws, and to furnish the Grantee such numbers of copies of the registration statement and prospectus as amended or supplemented as may reasonably be requested. The Grantor shall bear the cost of the registration, including, but not limited to, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, and fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants for the Grantor, except that the Grantee shall pay the fees and disbursements of its counsel, and the underwriting fees and selling commissions applicable to the shares of Common Stock sold by the Grantee. The Grantor shall indemnify and hold harmless (i) Grantee, its affiliates and its officers and directors and (ii) each underwriter and each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (collectively, the "Underwriters") ((i) and (ii) being referred to as "Indemnified Parties") against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, to which the Indemnified Parties may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) and expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any registration statement filed pursuant to this paragraph, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that the Grantor will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Grantor by the Indemnified Parties expressly for use or incorporation by reference therein. (c) The Grantee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Grantor, its affiliates and its officers and directors against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which the Grantor, its affiliates and its officers and directors may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) and expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any registration statement filed pursuant to this paragraph, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact - 6 - 9 required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Grantor by the Grantee specifically for use or incorporation by reference therein. 9. Expenses. Each party hereto shall pay its own expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, except as otherwise specifically provided herein. 10. Specific Performance. The Grantor acknowledges that if the Grantor fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement immediate and irreparable harm or injury would be caused to the Grantee for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy. In such event, the Grantor agrees that the Grantee shall have the right, in addition to any other rights it may have, to specific performance of this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Grantee should institute an action or proceeding seeking specific enforcement of the provisions hereof, the Grantor hereby waives the claim or defense that the Grantee has an adequate remedy at law and hereby agrees not to assert in any such action or proceeding the claim or defense that such a remedy at law exists. The Grantor further agrees to waive any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with obtaining any such equitable relief. 11. Notice. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered personally, one day after being delivered to a nationally recognized overnight courier or when telecopied (with a confirmatory copy sent by such overnight courier) to the parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice): (a) if to the Grantor, to: Two Gateway Center 14th Floor Pittsburgh, PA 15222 Attention: Chief Executive Officer Facsimile No.: (412) 201-1116 with copies to: Doepken Keevican & Weiss 58th Floor, USX Tower 600 Grant Street Pittsburgh, PA 15219-2703 Attention: Leo A.

Termination. The right to exercise the Option granted pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate at the earliest of (i) the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (ii) if the Option is not exercised within 12 months days after first becoming exercisable and (iii) if not then exercisable, thirty days after termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms (the dates referred to in clause (ii) and (iii) being hereinafter referred to as the "Termination Date"); provided, however, that if the Option cannot be exercised or the Shares cannot be delivered to Grantee upon - 9 - 12 such exercise because the conditions set forth in Section 3(a), (b) or (c) hereof have not yet been satisfied, the Termination Date shall be extended until thirty days after such impediment to exercise or delivery has been removed. 22. Profit Limitation. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, in no event shall the Grantee's Total Profit (as hereinafter defined) exceed $30 million and, if it otherwise would exceed such amount, the Grantee shall repay such excess amount to Grantor in cash (or the purchase price for purposes of Section 6 or 7, as applicable, shall be reduced) so that Grantee's Total Profit shall not exceed $30 million after taking into account the foregoing actions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Option may not be exercised for a number of Shares as would, as of the date of the Stock Exercise Notice, result in a Notional Total Profit (as defined below) of more than $15 million and, if exercise of the Option otherwise would exceed such amount, the Grantee, at its discretion, may increase the Purchase Price for that number of Shares set forth in the Stock Exercise Notice so that the Notional Total Profit shall not exceed $15 million; provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall restrict any exercise of the Option permitted hereby on any subsequent date at the Purchase Price set forth in Section 1(a) hereof. As used herein, the term "Total Profit" shall mean the aggregate amount (before taxes) of the following: (i)(x) the amount of cash received by Grantee pursuant to Sections 7.3(d)(ii) and (e) (ii) of the Merger Agreement and Section 1(c) hereof, less (y) any repayment of such cash to Grantor, (ii)(x) the amount received by Grantee pursuant to the Grantor's repurchase of Shares pursuant to Sections 6 or 7 hereof, less (y) the Grantee's purchase price for such Shares, and (iii)(x) the net cash amounts received by Grantee pursuant to the sale of Shares (or any other securities into or for which such Shares are converted or exchanged) to any unaffiliated party, less (y) the Grantee's purchase price for such Shares. As used herein, the term "Notional Total Profit" with respect to any number of Shares as to which Grantee may propose to exercise this Option shall be the Total Profit determined as of the date of the Stock Exercise Notice assuming that this Option was exercised on such date for such number of Shares and assuming that such Shares, together with all Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option and held by Grantee and its affiliates as of such date, were sold for cash at the closing market price for the Common Stock as of the close of business on the preceding trading day (less customary brokerage commissions). 23. Public Announcement. Grantor and Grantee shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statement with respect to this Option - 10 - 13 and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation and the receipt of approval therefor by the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except as may be required by law, court process or by stock exchange rules. - 11 - 14 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Grantee and the Grantor have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered on the day and year first above written.

           ----------------------------------------------------------
              UNIQUELY POSITIONED TO CAPITALIZE ON INDUSTRY GROWTH,
                      CONSOLIDATION, AND OUTSOURCING TRENDS

            PITTSBURGH and WILMERDING, PA, June 3, 1999 - MotivePower
       Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MPO) and Westinghouse Air Brake Company (NYSE:
       WAB) today announced the signing of a definitive merger of equals
       agreement that will create the premier supplier of products and services
       for the railroad industry, with combined revenues of $1.2 billion
       projected in 1999 and an equity market capitalization in excess of $1
       billion. The merger is subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals,
       and is expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter.

            The combined company will retain the name MotivePower Industries and
       the New York Stock Exchange symbol "MPO." The prestigious Westinghouse
       Air Brake name, which is recognized throughout the world, will also be
       retained and will continue to be used as a division and product name. The
       combined company will be based in the Pittsburgh area.

            Management of the combined company will be as follows: John C.
       (Jack) Pope, chairman of MotivePower Industries, will be chairman;
       William E. Kassling, chairman and chief executive officer of Westinghouse
       Air Brake, will be chief executive officer; Gregory T.H. Davies,
       president and chief operating officer of Westinghouse Air Brake, will
       hold the same position; and Robert J. Brooks, chief financial officer of
       Westinghouse Air Brake, will hold the same position.

            Under the terms of the definitive agreement, Westinghouse Air Brake
       shareholders will receive 1.3 shares of MotivePower Industries stock for
       each share they own, representing a 55 percent interest in the combined
       company on a fully diluted basis. The transaction will be tax-free to
       Westinghouse Air Brake shareholders and is expected to be accounted for
       as a

       pooling-of-interests. The merger agreement contains no collars, and each
       company has granted to the other company a 19 percent stock option.

            The merger is expected to be accretive to MotivePower Industries'
       earnings per diluted share by about 10 percent in 1999, 2000 and 2001,
       excluding synergies, transaction costs and a restructuring reserve to be
       determined. In addition, the combined company is expected to achieve a
       substantial combination of revenue growth opportunities, efficiency
       improvements and cost savings through synergies. They include: marketing
       Westinghouse Air Brake's products through MotivePower Industries'
       existing distribution and service channels, and vice versa; offering an
       integrated electronics package for locomotive overhauls; combining
       efforts to penetrate growing international markets using bases of
       operation established by each company in places such as Mexico, the
       United Kingdom, Australia and Italy; jointly developing new products and
       improving existing products; expanding use of the WABCO Quality and
       Performance System (QPS); and improving the use of existing facilities.
       These synergies are expected to result in operating income improvements
       of $10 million pre-tax, or 10 cents per diluted share after-tax, in 2000.
       By year-end 2000, these synergies are expected to reach an annual run
       rate of $20 million pre-tax, or 20 cents per diluted share after-tax; and
       they are expected to increase in future years.

            The combined company is expected to have operating cash flow
       (operating income plus depreciation and amortization) of more than $225
       million in 1999. With debt of about $600 million, this level of operating
       cash flow is expected to result in a coverage ratio of about 5.8-to-1
       (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization divided
       by interest expense). While MotivePower Industries expects to reduce debt
       with cash flow from operations, its financial structure will be a strong
       base for future growth and acquisitions.

            Pope said: "This merger is clearly a win-win for the shareholders of
       both companies. We are taking two very strong, highly successful entities
       with very little product overlap and combining them into one company,
       with powerful earnings accretion in 1999 and beyond. The combined company
       will have a highly talented and experienced management team capable of
       generating superior growth opportunities and even stronger operating cash
       flow. We fully expect to further enhance our position as a high-quality,
       customer-focused, low-cost supplier, and to solidify the new MotivePower
       Industries as the leading consolidator in the rail equipment supply
       sector."

            Kassling said: "The new MotivePower Industries will be uniquely
       positioned to serve its global customers as a true `one-stop shop' for a
       complete package of locomotive and freight car components and services.
       We will also have increased financial strength to continue to invest in
       new products and new technologies. In particular, we expect to capitalize
       on the growth of locomotive and freight car electronics in the rail
       industry. We will also look for opportunities to expand our very
       successful WABCO QPS, which has led to dramatic improvements in quality,
       productivity and efficiency during the past several years. We are

       very excited by the opportunities created from this merger and are
       anxious to put our plans into motion."

            The merger will combine two complementary companies with leading
       shares of their respective rail market segments and minimal product
       overlap. MotivePower Industries is a leading provider of power-related
       locomotive components and services for the aftermarket, and a leading
       manufacturer of new low-horsepower locomotives. Westinghouse Air Brake is
       a leader in both the aftermarket and the original equipment market for
       its locomotive and freight car components, and has a leading position in
       the growing public transit segment of the rail market. The companies also
       have complementary market shares for international business, with
       MotivePower Industries' leading position in the Mexican rail industry,
       and Westinghouse Air Brake's presence in Canada, Europe, Asia and the
       Pacific Rim. The combined company will also have improved diversity of
       sales by customer, by region and by product line.

            The combined company's Board of Directors will have seven members
       from each company.

            The new MotivePower Industries will have nearly 7,500 employees,
       with 50 manufacturing, distribution and service facilities throughout the
       U.S., Mexico, Canada, Europe, Asia and the Pacific Rim.

            The Board of Directors of Westinghouse Air Brake also announced that
       it has terminated its previously adopted, open-market, stock purchase
       plan.

            Wasserstein Perella served as financial adviser to MotivePower
       Industries, and Credit Suisse First Boston served as financial adviser to
       Westinghouse Air Brake.
