                                                              April 22, 2008


Mr. Lee B. Foster II
L.B. Foster Company
415 Holiday Drive
Pittsburgh, PA 15220

Dear Lee:

     This will  confirm  your  decision to retire as an employee of L.B.  Foster
Company,  effective May 27, 2008. Your  retirement,  of course,  affects neither
your  position  as Chairman  of the Board nor such fees and other  incidents  of
office as may, from time to time, be approved by the Board.  You may, unless and
until otherwise determined by the Board,  continue to have such office space and
secretarial support as are appropriate to fulfill your duties as Chairman.

     This will further  confirm that,  commencing  May 28, 2008, the Company has
agreed to provide  to both you and Isabel  Foster,  your wife,  health  benefits
(consistent  with the  programs  then  maintained  by the Company for its senior
executives)  until the earlier of March 31, 2012 or your  deaths,  at no cost to
you or your wife, Isabel Foster.

     If you are in  agreement  with the  foregoing,  please  sign both  enclosed
copies of this letter and return one fully executed agreement to me.


                                                        Very truly yours,

                                                        /s/ Stan L. Hasselbusch

                                                        Stan L. Hasselbusch


Agreed to this 22 day of
April, 2008, intending to be
legally bound.

/s/ Lee B. Foster II
