                              SUMMARY OF AMENDMENT
                                       TO
                             NEENAH FOUNDRY COMPANY
                      2003 MANAGEMENT ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN

Effective January 29, 2004, the 2003 Management Annual Incentive Plan (the
"Plan") was amended to allow Plan Participants the ability to earn additional
cash compensation based on varying levels of total debt reduction achieved
during a fiscal year. Under the Plan, total debt reduction is calculated by
comparing the total debt balance at the beginning of the year to the total debt
balance at the end of the year.

Incentive payments are made to Plan Participants based upon the achievement of
the following levels of total debt reduction:

         o        No incentive payment on the first $3 million of total debt
                  reduction;

         o        An incentive payment of 2.5% of the next $2 million of total
                  debt reduction (from $3 million to $5 million);

         o        An incentive payment of 5% of the next $5 million of total
                  debt reduction (from $5 million to $10 million); and

         o        An incentive payment of 10% of amounts over $10 million of
                  total debt reduction.

Total debt is calculated under the Plan as the sum of the following balance
sheet items:

         o        Current portion of Long Term Debt;

         o        Revolver Note Payable; and

         o        Long Term Debt.

Each participant's Target Bonus Percentage (which is the percentage of the
participant's Annual Incentive Bonus that is based on EBITDA) has been reduced
by 5%.<PAGE>

incentives to maximize stockholder value and otherwise contribute to the success
of the Company and (ii) enabling the Company to attract, retain and reward the

Board may, in its discretion, at any time and from time to time, resolve to
administer the Plan, in which case the term "Committee" shall be deemed to mean
the Board for all purposes herein. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the
terms of any Grant Agreement (including the Grant Agreements of the Initial Plan
Participants), the Committee shall be authorized to: (i) select persons to
participate in the Plan; (ii) determine the form and substance of grants made
under the Plan to each participant, and the conditions and restrictions, if any,
subject to which such grants will be made; (iii) determine the form and
substance of the Grant Agreements reflecting the terms and conditions of each
grant made under the Plan; (iv) certify that the conditions and restrictions

<PAGE>

affect any Plan Participant without such Plan Participant's consent. The
validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations
relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with applicable federal
and state laws and rules and regulations promulgated pursuant thereto. No member
of the Committee and no officer of the Company shall be liable for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by such member, by any other member of the
Committee or by any officer of the Company in connection with the performance of
duties under the Plan, except for such person's own willful misconduct or as
expressly provided by statute.

          The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company.

4. Shares Available for the Plan.

          Subject to adjustments as provided in Section 13, an aggregate of
8,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") may be issued pursuant to the
Plan. Such Shares may be in whole or in part authorized and unissued or held by
the Company as treasury shares. If any grant under the Plan expires or
terminates unexercised, becomes unexercisable or is forfeited as to any Shares,
or is tendered or withheld as to any Shares in payment of the exercise price of
the grant or the taxes payable with respect to the exercise, then such
unpurchased, forfeited, tendered or withheld Shares shall thereafter be
available for further grants under the Plan. Set forth on Schedule I attached
hereto are the total number of Shares being issued to the Initial Plan
Participants on the Effective Date in the form of restricted stock. The Shares
set forth on Schedule I are being issued to each Initial Plan Participant in
consideration for the services that have been performed by such Initial Plan
Participant in connection with the reorganization of the Company Group pursuant
to the Plan of Reorganization.

          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this
Section 4 or the generality of the provisions of Sections 3, 6 or 14 or any
other section of this Plan, the Committee may, at any time or from time to time,
and on such terms and conditions (that are consistent with and not in
contravention of the other provisions of this Plan) as the Committee may
determine, enter into Grant Agreements (or take other actions with respect to
the options) for new options containing terms (including exercise prices) more
(or less) favorable than the then-outstanding options.

5. Participation.

          Participation in the Plan shall be limited to those directors
(including Non-Employee Directors), officers (including non-employee officers)
and employees of, and other individuals performing services for, or to whom an
offer of employment has been extended by, the Company and the Subsidiaries
selected by the Committee (including participants located outside the United
States). Nothing in the Plan or in any Grant Agreement shall confer any right on
a participant to continue in the employ as a director, officer or employee of or
in the performance of services for the Company or shall interfere in any way
with the right of the Company to terminate the employment or performance of
services or to reduce the compensation or responsibilities of a participant at
any time. By accepting any award under the Plan, each participant and each
person claiming under or through him or her shall be conclusively deemed

                                        4

<PAGE>

to have indicated his or her acceptance and ratification of, and consent to, any
action taken under the Plan by the Company, the Board or the Committee.

          Incentive Stock Options or Non-qualified Stock Options, restricted
stock awards, or any combination thereof, may be granted to such persons and for
such number of Shares as the Committee shall determine, subject to the
limitations contained herein (such individuals to whom grants are made being
sometimes herein called "optionees" or "grantees," as the case may be).
Determinations made by the Committee under the Plan need not be uniform and may
be made selectively among eligible individuals under the Plan, whether or not
such individuals are similarly situated. A grant of any type made hereunder in
any one year to an eligible participant shall neither guarantee nor preclude a
further grant of that or any other type to such participant in that year or
subsequent years.

6. Incentive and Non-qualified Options.

          The Committee may from time to time grant to eligible participants
Incentive Stock Options, Non-qualified Stock Options, or any combination
thereof; provided, that the Committee may grant Incentive Stock Options only to
eligible employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries (as defined for this
purpose in Section 424(f) of the Code or any successor thereto). The options
granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Grant Agreement and shall take
such form as the Committee shall determine, subject to the terms and conditions
of the Plan.

          It is the Company's intent that Non-qualified Stock Options granted
under the Plan not be classified as Incentive Stock Options and any grant of
such options shall state this, that any Incentive Stock Options granted comply
with Section 6(c) herein and otherwise be consistent with and contain or be
deemed to contain all provisions required under Section 422 of the Code and any
successor thereto, and that any ambiguities in construction be interpreted in
order to effectuate such intent. If an Incentive Stock Option granted under the
Plan does not qualify as such for any reason, then to the extent of such
non-qualification, the stock option represented thereby shall be a Non-qualified
Stock Option duly granted under the Plan, provided that such stock option
otherwise meets the Plan's requirements for Non-qualified Stock Options.

          (a) Price. The price per Share deliverable upon the exercise of each
option (the "exercise price") shall be established by the Committee, except that
in the case of the grant of any option, the exercise price may not be less than
100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of the date of grant
of the option, and in the case of the grant of any Incentive Stock Option to an
employee who, at the time of the grant, owns more than 10% of the total combined
voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries,
the exercise price may not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a share
of Common Stock as of the date of grant of the option, in each case unless
otherwise permitted by Section 422 of the Code or any successor thereto.

          (b) Payment. Options may be exercised, in whole or in part, upon
payment of the exercise price of the Shares to be acquired. Unless otherwise
determined by the Committee, payment shall be made (i) in cash (including check,
bank draft, money order or wire transfer of immediately available funds), (ii)
by delivery of outstanding shares of Common Stock with a Fair

                                        5

<PAGE>

Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate exercise price
payable with respect to the options' exercise, (iii) by means of any cashless
exercise procedures approved by the Committee and as may be in effect on the
date of exercise, or (iv) by any combination of the foregoing.

          In the event a grantee is permitted to, and elects to pay the exercise
price payable with respect to an option pursuant to clause (ii) above, (A) only
a whole number of share(s) of Common Stock (and not fractional shares of Common
Stock) may be tendered in payment, (B) such grantee must present evidence
acceptable to the Company that he or she has owned any such shares of Common
Stock tendered in payment of the exercise price (and that such tendered shares
of Common Stock have not been subject to any substantial risk of forfeiture) for
at least six months prior to the date of exercise, and (C) Common Stock must be
delivered to the Company. Delivery for this purpose may, at the election of the
grantee, be made either by (A) physical delivery of the certificate(s) for all
such shares of Common Stock tendered in payment of the exercise price,
accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer in a form acceptable to the
Company, or (B) direction to the grantee's broker to transfer, by book entry,
such shares of Common Stock from a brokerage account of the grantee to a
brokerage account specified by the Company. When payment of the exercise price
is made by delivery of Common Stock, the difference, if any, between the
aggregate exercise price payable with respect to the option being exercised and
the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock tendered in payment (plus
any applicable taxes) shall be paid in cash. No grantee may tender shares of
Common Stock having a Fair Market Value exceeding the aggregate exercise price
payable with respect to the option being exercised (plus any applicable taxes).

          (c) Terms of Options. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, all Incentive Stock Options (i) shall have an exercise price
per share of Common Stock of not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such
share on the date of grant, (ii) shall not be exercisable more than 10 years
after the date of grant, (iii) shall not be transferable other than by will or
under the laws of descent and distribution and, during the lifetime of the Plan
Participant to whom such Incentive Stock Options were granted, may be exercised
only by such Plan Participant (or his guardian or legal representative), and
(iv) shall be exercisable only during the Plan Participant's employment by the
Company; provided, that the Committee may, in its discretion, provide at the
time that an Incentive Stock Option is granted that such Incentive Stock Option
may be exercised for a period ending upon either (x) the termination of this
Plan in the event of a Plan Participant's death while an employee of the
Company, or (y) the date which is three months after termination of the Plan
Participant's employment for any other reason; provided further, that if an
Incentive Stock Option is granted to a person who owns, on the date of grant,
stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes
of stock of the Company (or of any parent or subsidiary of the Company in
existence on such date of grant), (A) the price at which each share of Common
Stock may be purchased upon exercise of such Incentive Stock Option may not be
less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of such share on the date of grant, and
(B) the Incentive Stock Option, by its terms, may not be exercised more than
five years after the date of grant. The Committee's discretion to extend the
period during which an Incentive Stock Option is exercisable shall only apply to
the extent that (i) the Plan Participant was entitled to exercise such Incentive
Stock Option on the date of termination and

                                        6

<PAGE>

(ii) such Incentive Stock Option would not have expired had the Plan Participant
continued to be employed by the Company.

          No option shall be exercisable in whole or in part more than ten years
from the date it is granted, and no Incentive Stock Option granted to an
employee who at the time of the grant owns more than 10% of the total combined
voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries
shall be exercisable more than five years from the date it is granted. All
rights to purchase Shares pursuant to an option shall, unless sooner terminated,
expire on the date designated by the Committee. The Committee shall determine
the date on which each option shall become exercisable and may provide that an
option shall become exercisable in installments. The Shares constituting each
installment may be purchased in whole or in part at any time after such
installment becomes exercisable, subject to such minimum exercise requirements
as may be designated by the Committee. Prior to the exercise of an option and
delivery of the Shares represented thereby, the optionee shall have no rights as
a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by such outstanding option
(including any dividend or voting rights).

          (d) Limitations on Grants. If required by Section 422(d) of the Code,
the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the grant date) of Shares with
respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time
during any calendar year under all equity incentive plans of the Company and the
Subsidiaries (as defined in Section 422 of the Code or any successor thereto)
may not exceed $100,000.

7. Restricted Stock.

          In addition to the Shares of restricted stock granted to the Initial
Plan Participants, the Committee may at any time and from time to time grant
Shares of restricted stock under the Plan to such participants and in such
amounts as it determines.(1) Each grant of restricted stock shall be evidenced
by a Grant Agreement which shall specify the applicable restrictions on such
Shares and such other terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine
consistent with this Plan.

----------
(1)  Limitation, if any, on the number of shares that may be the subject of
     grants of restricted stock under the Plan to be determined.

                                        7

          Except as otherwise provided in any Grant Agreement, the participant
will be required to pay the Company the aggregate par value of any Shares of
restricted stock (or such larger amount as the Board may determine to constitute
capital under Section 154 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended,
or any successor thereto) within ten days of the date of grant, unless such
Shares of restricted stock are treasury shares. Except as otherwise provided in
any Grant Agreement, certificates representing Shares of restricted stock
granted under the Plan will be held in escrow by the Company on the
participant's behalf during any period of restriction thereon and, following the
end of such period of restriction, during any period during which such Shares
may not be sold pursuant to the first sentence of the next following paragraph
of the Plan, will bear an appropriate legend specifying the applicable
restrictions thereon, and the participant will be required to execute a blank
stock power therefor. Only with respect to grants of Non-qualified Stock Options
or restricted stock, each Grant Agreement may provide that the recipient of the
grant shall make an effective election under Section 83(b) of the Code within
thirty (30) days receipt of such Non-qualified Stock Options or restricted
stock. Except as otherwise provided in any Grant Agreement, during such period
of restriction the participant shall have all of the rights of a holder of
Common Stock, including but not limited to the rights to receive dividends and
to vote, and any stock or other securities received as a distribution with
respect to such participant's restricted stock shall be subject to the same
restrictions as then in effect for the restricted stock, including vesting
restrictions to the extent the related shares of restricted stock are subject to
vesting.

          Except as otherwise provided in the Grant Agreement, during the period
in which a participant is a director, officer or employee of, or performing
other services for the Company or a Subsidiary, any Shares granted pursuant to a
restricted stock award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, exchanged,
assigned, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of until all applicable
restrictions have lapsed with respect to all Shares subject to such award.
Except as otherwise provided in any Grant Agreement, at such time as a
participant ceases to be, or in the event a participant does not become, a
director, officer or employee of, or otherwise performing services for, the
Company or its Subsidiaries for any reason, all Shares of restricted stock
granted to such participant on which the restrictions have not lapsed shall be
immediately forfeited to the Company.

8. Withholding Taxes.

          (a) Participant Election. If permitted by the Committee, a participant
may elect to deliver shares of Common Stock (or have the Company withhold Shares
acquired upon exercise of an option or deliverable upon grant or vesting of
restricted stock, as the case may be) to satisfy, in whole or in part, the
amount the Company is required to withhold for taxes in connection with the
exercise of an option or the delivery of restricted stock upon grant or vesting,
as the case may be. Such election must be made on or before the date the amount
of tax to be withheld is determined. Once made, the election shall be
irrevocable. The fair market value of the shares to be withheld or delivered
will be the Fair Market Value as of the date the amount of tax to be withheld is
determined. In the event a participant elects to deliver or have the Company
withhold shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 8(a), such delivery or
withholding must be made subject to the conditions and pursuant to the
procedures set forth in Section 6(b)

                                        8

<PAGE>

with respect to the delivery or withholding of Common Stock in payment of the
exercise price of options.

          (b) Company Requirement. The Company shall be entitled, if necessary
or desirable, to withhold amounts due and payable by the Company to any Plan
Participant (including salary or bonus) either pursuant to Section 8(a) or this
Section 8(b), the amount of any federal, state or local taxes of any kind
required by law to be withheld with respect to any grant or delivery of Shares.
The Company may defer any such grant or delivery of Shares unless indemnified to
its satisfaction for such withholding obligation.

9. Change in Control.

          The Committee may set forth in any Grant Agreement the effect, if any,
that a "change in control" or other, similar transaction shall have on any
options or restricted stock awards granted hereunder.

10. Transferability.

          Unless otherwise provided in any Grant Agreement, no option granted
under the Plan shall be transferable by a participant other than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution or to a participant's Family Member by gift or
a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code. Unless otherwise
provided in any Grant Agreement, an option may be exercised only by the optionee
or grantee thereof; by his or her Family Member if such person has acquired the
option by gift or qualified domestic relations order; by the executor or
administrator of the estate of any of the foregoing or any person to whom the
option is transferred by will or the laws of descent and distribution; or by the
guardian or legal representative of any of the foregoing; provided, that
Incentive Stock Options may be exercised by any Family Member, guardian or legal
representative only if permitted by the Code and any regulations thereunder. All
provisions of this Plan shall in any event continue to apply to any option
granted under the Plan and transferred as permitted by this Section 10, and any
transferee of any such option shall be bound by all provisions of this Plan as
and to the same extent as the applicable original grantee.

11. Listing, Registration and Qualification.

          If the Committee determines that the listing, registration or
qualification upon any securities exchange or under any law of Shares subject to
any option or restricted stock grant is necessary or desirable as a condition
of, or in connection with, the granting of same or the issue or purchase of
Shares thereunder, no such option may be exercised in whole or in part, and no
Shares may be issued, unless such listing, registration or qualification is
effected free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee.

12. Transfer of Employee.

          Unless there shall otherwise be an event constituting Good Reason, the
transfer of an employee from the Company to a Subsidiary, from a Subsidiary to
the Company, or from one Subsidiary to another Subsidiary shall not be
considered a termination of employment; nor shall

                                        9

<PAGE>

it be considered a termination of employment if an employee is placed on
military or sick leave or such other leave of absence that is considered by the
Committee as continuing intact the employment relationship.

13. Adjustments.

          In the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, stock split,
reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger,
consolidation, distribution of assets, or any other change in the corporate
structure or shares of ACP, the Committee shall make such equitable adjustments
as it determines in good faith are necessary or appropriate (i) in the number
and kind of Shares or other property available for issuance under the Plan
(including, without limitation, the total number of Shares available for
issuance under the Plan pursuant to Section 4), (ii) in the number and kind of
options, Shares or other property covered by grants previously made under the
Plan, and (iii) in the exercise price of outstanding options, but in each case
only to the extent necessary to prevent enlargement or reduction of (A) in the
case of clause (i), the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan
as a percentage of ACP's capitalization immediately prior to such change, and
(B) in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), the value of the rights of the
holders of grants under the Plan immediately prior to such change. Any such
adjustment shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes of the Plan.
Any such adjustment in the Shares subject to outstanding Incentive Stock Options
(including any adjustments in the exercise price) shall be made in such manner
as not to constitute a modification as defined by Section 424(h)(3) of the Code
and only to the extent otherwise permitted by Sections 422 and 424 of the Code.

          Except as otherwise provided in any Grant Agreement, in the event of
(A) a merger or consolidation of ACP or any other member of the Company Group,
(B) the sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all
of the assets of ACP or any other member of the Company Group or (C) the
liquidation or dissolution of ACP or any other member of the Company Group (each
a "Transaction"), the Plan and any options or restricted stock awards granted
hereunder shall continue in effect in accordance with their respective terms,
except that following a Transaction either (i) each outstanding option or
restricted stock award shall be treated as provided for in the agreement entered
into in connection with the Transaction or (ii) if not so provided in such
agreement, each optionee or grantee shall be entitled to receive in respect of
each Share subject to any outstanding options or restricted stock awards, as the
case may be, upon exercise of any option or payment or transfer in respect of
any restricted stock award, the same number and kind of stock, securities, cash,
property, or other consideration that each holder of a Share was entitled to
receive in the Transaction in respect of a Share; provided, that such stock,
securities, cash, property, or other consideration shall remain subject to all
of the conditions and restrictions that were applicable to the options and
restricted stock awards prior to such Transaction, but giving effect to the
Transaction.

14. Amendment or Substitution of Awards under the Plan.

          The terms of any outstanding award, payment, grant or incentive under
the Plan may be amended from time to time by the Committee solely to provide
rights under the Plan that are more favorable to any Plan Participant; provided,
that if such amendment adversely affects

                                       10

<PAGE>

the rights of any Plan Participant, such amendment shall be deemed to affect
such Plan Participant only upon such Plan Participant's written consent.

15. Commencement Date; Termination Date.

          The date of commencement of the Plan shall be the Effective Date.

          No termination of the Plan shall materially and adversely affect any
of the rights or obligations of any Plan Participant, without such Plan
Participant's written consent, under any grant of options or other incentives
theretofore granted under the Plan.

16. Severability.

          Whenever possible, each provision of the Plan shall be interpreted in
such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
provision of the Plan is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable
law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition
or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of the Plan.

17. Governing Law.

          The Plan shall be governed by the corporate laws of the State of
Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law provisions that might
otherwise refer construction or interpretation of the Plan to the substantive
law of another jurisdiction.
