Rose Hoover Severance Agreement

 Exhibit 10.(B)3 
 December 31, 2008 
 Ms. Rose Hoover 
 c/o Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation 
 600 Grant St., Suite 4600 
 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15219 
 Dear Rose: 
 This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety your Agreement of July 1, 1997 as amended by the letter of February 28, 2002 with Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation (the “Corporation”). 
 The Corporation recognizes that your contribution to the success of the Corporation has been substantial and desires to assure the Corporation of your
continued employment. In this connection, the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) recognizes that, as is the case with other publicly held corporations, the possibility of a change in control may exist and that such
possibility, and the uncertainty that it may raise among the Corporation’s management, may result in the departure or distraction of management personnel to the detriment of the Corporation and its stockholders. 
 The Board has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of members of the
Corporation’s management, including you, to their assigned duties without distraction in the face of potentially disturbing circumstances arising from the possibility of a change in control of the Corporation. 

			
	Ms. Rose Hoover	  	2

  

 In order to induce you to remain in the employ of the Corporation, the Corporation agrees that you shall
receive the severance benefits set forth in this letter agreement (“Agreement”) in the event your employment with the Corporation is terminated subsequent to a “Change in Control” (as defined in Section 2 hereof) under the
circumstances described below. 
 1. Term of Agreement. This Agreement will commence on the date hereof and shall continue in effect
for twenty-four (24) months from the date hereof; provided, however, that commencing on December 31, 2008 and on each anniversary thereafter, the term of this Agreement shall automatically be extended for one
(1) additional year unless, not later than thirty (30) days prior to such date, the Corporation shall have given notice that it does not wish to extend this Agreement; provided, further, however, that if a Change in
Control shall have occurred during the original or extended term of this Agreement, this Agreement cannot be cancelled. 
 2. Change in
Control. 
 (a) No benefits shall be payable hereunder unless there shall have been a Change in Control as set forth below. For purposes
of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if: 
 (i) any “Person” (as defined in Sections
13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) other than the persons or the group of persons in control of the Corporation on the date hereof is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or
indirectly, 

			
	Ms. Rose Hoover	  	3

  

 
of securities of the corporation representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Corporation’s then outstanding
securities; 
 (ii) within any period of two (2) consecutive years (not
including any period prior to the execution of this Agreement) there shall cease to be a majority of the Board comprised as follows: individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board and any new director(s) whose election was
approved by a vote of at least two-thirds ( 2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the
beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved; 
 (iii) the shareholders of the
Corporation approve a merger of, or consolidation involving, the Corporation in which (A) the Corporation’s Common Stock, par value one dollar ($1.00) per share (such stock, or any other securities of the Corporation into which such stock
shall have been converted through a reincorporation, recapitalization or similar transaction, hereinafter called “Common Stock of the Corporation”), is converted into shares or securities of another corporation, or into cash or other
property, or (B) the Common Stock of the Corporation is not converted as described in Clause (A), but in which more than forty percent (40%) of the Common Stock of the surviving corporation in the merger is owned by shareholders other than
those who owned such amount prior to the merger; or any other transaction after which the Corporation’s Common Stock is no longer to be publicly traded; in each case, other than a transaction solely for the purpose of reincorporating 

			
	Ms. Rose Hoover	  	4

  

 
the Corporation in another jurisdiction or recapitalizing the Common Stock of the Corporation; or 
 (iv) the shareholders of the Corporation approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Corporation, or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the
Corporation of all or substantially all the Corporation’s assets, either of which is followed by a distribution of all or substantially all of the proceeds to the shareholders. 
 3. Agreement of Employee. You agree that in the event of a Potential Change in Control of the Corporation, you will not terminate employment with
the Corporation for any reason until the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Corporation. 
 For purposes of this Agreement, a
“Potential Change in Control of the Corporation” shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) the Corporation enters into an agreement, the consummation of which would result in the occurrence of a Change in Control, (ii) any person
(including the Corporation) publicly announces an intention to take or to consider taking actions which if consummated would constitute a Change in Control, or (iii) the Board adopts a resolution to the effect that, for purposes of this
Agreement, a Potential Change in Control of the Corporation has occurred. 
 4. Termination Following a Change in Control. 

(a) If any of the events described in Section 2 hereof constituting a Change in Control shall have occurred, you shall be entitled to 

			
	Ms. Rose Hoover	  	5

  

 
the benefits provided in Section 5(d) upon the termination of your employment within twenty-four (24) months after the Change in Control has
occurred, unless such termination is (i) because of your death or Disability, (ii) by the Corporation for Cause, or (iii) by you other than for Good Reason. 
 (b) For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean that if, as a result of your incapacity due to physical or mental illness, you
shall have been absent from the full-time performance of your duties with the Corporation for six (6) consecutive months, and within thirty (30) days after written notice of termination shall have been given to you, you shall not have
returned to the full-time performance of your duties. 
 (c) For purposes of this Agreement, termination by the Corporation of your
employment for “Cause” shall mean termination upon: 
 (i) the willful and
continued failure by you to substantially perform duties consistent with your position with the Corporation (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness or termination by you for Good Reason), after a
demand for substantial performance is delivered to you by the Board, together with a copy of the resolution of the Board that specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that you have not substantially performed your duties, which
resolution must be passed by at least two-thirds ( 2/3) of the entire Board at a meeting called for the purpose and after an
opportunity for you and your counsel to be heard by the Board, and you have failed to 

			
	Ms. Rose Hoover	  	6

  

 
resume substantial performance of your duties on a continuous basis within fourteen (14) days of receiving such demand, 
 (ii) the willful engaging by you in conduct that is demonstrably and materially injurious to the
Corporation, monetarily or otherwise, as set forth in a resolution of the Board, which resolution must be passed by at least two-thirds (2/3) of the entire Board at a meeting called for the purpose and after an opportunity for you and your counsel to be heard by the
Board, or 
 (iii) your conviction of a felony, or conviction of a misdemeanor involving assets of the Corporation. 
 For purposes of this Section 4(c), no act, or failure to act, on your part shall be deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by you not in
good faith and without reasonable belief that your action or omission was in the best interest of the Corporation. 
 (d) For purposes of
this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean, without your express written consent, the occurrence after a Change in Control of any one or more of the following conditions, which condition continues without timely and complete remedy by the
Corporation after notice, as provided below: 
 (i) the assignment to you of duties inconsistent with your duties, responsibilities and
status immediately before the Change in Control or a reduction or alteration in the nature or status of your responsibilities 

			
	Ms. Rose Hoover	  	7

  

 
from those in effect immediately before the Change in Control; 
 (ii) a reduction by the Corporation in your base salary as in effect immediately before the Change in Control, a failure to increase such base salary at the same intervals as prevailed before the Change in Control in
an amount at least equal to the same percentage increase as the last increase prior to the Change in Control, or a reduction in bonus after the Change in Control over the last bonus paid before the Change in Control unless there are equivalent
reductions in bonuses for all executives of the Corporation; 
 (iii) the requirement that you be based at a location in excess of
twenty-five (25) miles from the location where you are currently based; 
 (iv) the failure by the Corporation to continue in effect
any of the Corporation’s employee benefit plans, policies, practices or arrangements in which you participate or under which you are entitled to benefits, or the failure by the Corporation to continue your participation therein or benefits
thereunder on substantially the same basis, both in terms of the amount of benefits provided and the level of your participation relative to other participants, as existed immediately prior to the Change in Control; or 
 (v) the breach of this Agreement by the Corporation because of the Corporation’s failure to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor to
the Corporation to assume and agree to perform this Agreement, as contemplated in Section 6. 

			
	Ms. Rose Hoover	  	8

  

 The foregoing notwithstanding, you shall notify the corporation within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of
a particular condition described above in this Section 4(d), and the Corporation shall have thirty (30) days from such notice completely to remedy such particular condition so that you are in the same position as if the condition had never
occurred. If the Corporation timely and completely remedies the condition as required above, then the particular occurrence of the particular condition for which you gave notice shall no longer constitute Good Reason. If the Corporation does not
timely and completely remedy the particular occurrence of the particular condition for which you gave notice, you shall be deemed to terminate employment for Good Reason on the thirty-first day following your notice to the Corporation. 

(e) “Good Reason” may be established notwithstanding your possible incapacity due to physical or mental illness, provided that Disability
has not been established pursuant to Section 4(b). Your continued employment following the Change in Control shall not constitute a waiver of any rights hereunder, including, but not limited to, rights with respect to any circumstance
constituting Good Reason or rights under Section 6. 
 5. Compensation Upon Termination or During Incapacity. Following a Change
in Control, upon termination of your employment or during a period of incapacity but before termination for Disability, you shall be entitled to the following benefits: 
 (a) During any period prior to termination for Disability in 

			
	Ms. Rose Hoover	  	9

  

 
which you fail to perform your full-time duties with the Corporation as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness, you shall continue to
receive your Base Salary at the rate in effect at the commencement of any such period. Following termination for Disability, your benefits shall be determined in accordance with the Corporation’s retirement, insurance and other applicable
programs and plans then in effect. 
 (b) If your employment shall be terminated by the Corporation for Cause or by you other than for Good
Reason, the Corporation shall pay to you your full Base Salary through the date of termination of your employment at the rate then in effect, plus all other amounts to which you are entitled under any compensation or benefit plans of the Corporation
at the time such amounts are due, and the Corporation shall have no further obligations to you under this Agreement. 
 (c) If your
employment terminates by reason of your death, your benefits shall be determined in accordance with the Corporation’s retirement, survivor’s benefits, insurance and other applicable programs and plans then in effect. 
 (d) If your employment by the corporation shall be terminated within twenty-four (24) months after the Change in Control, unless such termination
is (i) by the Corporation for Cause, (ii) because of your death or Disability, or (iii) by you other than for Good Reason, you shall be entitled to the following benefits (the “Severance Payments”): 

			
	Ms. Rose Hoover	  	10

  

 (A) the Corporation shall pay to you your full Base Salary through the date of termination of your
employment at the rate then in effect; 
 (B) the Corporation shall pay to you, as severance benefits, a lump sum severance payment equal to
(i) the sum of three (3) times your annual base salary either at the time of the Change in Control or at termination, whichever is higher, and (ii) three (3) times your bonus paid for the prior year; 
 (C) in lieu of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation (“Shares”) issuable upon exercise of outstanding options (“Options”), if
any, granted to you under the Corporation’s Incentive Stock Option Plan, or under any additional, substitute or successor option program or plan as may be in effect from time to time (which Options shall be cancelled upon the making of the
payment referred to below), you shall receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the higher of the closing price per Share as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of termination of your employment or the highest price
per Share actually paid in connection with any Change in Control, over the exercise price per Share of each Option held by you, times (ii) the number of Shares covered by each such Option; 
 (D) as more completely described in Section 5(i), for a twenty-four (24) month period after such termination, the Corporation will arrange to
provide you at the Corporation’s expense with benefits under the 

			
	Ms. Rose Hoover	  	11

  

 
Corporation’s health, dental, disability, life insurance, and other similar employee benefit insurance plans applicable to salaried employees, or
benefits substantially similar to the benefits you were receiving under such plans immediately prior to the termination of your employment; and 
 (E) the opportunity to purchase the leased Corporation car, which has been assigned to you, at
its then book value under the Corporation’s leasing arrangements, provided that should you choose to take such opportunity, you must complete such purchase by a date that is within two and one-half (21/2) months after the calendar year of your termination. 
 (F) All benefits payable to you under the Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) or the Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”) at the time of such termination, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan and the SERP. 
 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, in the event you are determined by the Board to be a “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G(c) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)) with respect to the Company, the amount of the payments hereunder, which are determined to be “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code), shall be
reduced to the extent necessary so that the total of (i) such payments and (ii) any other 

			
	Ms. Rose Hoover	  	12

  

 
payment or the value of any benefit received or to be received by you in connection with a Change in Control remains deductible by the Company for federal
income tax purposes. If any payments payable hereunder or under any other agreement with the Corporation are required to be reduced pursuant to the preceding sentence, such reduction shall be made to such payments in the order elected by you.

 (f) The payments provided for in Section 5(d)(A), (B) and (C) and
Section 5(e) shall be made not later than the fifth day following your termination of employment pursuant to the provisions of Section 5(d); provided, however, that if the amounts of such payments cannot be finally determined
on or before such day, the Corporation shall pay to you on such day an estimate as determined in good faith by the Corporation of the minimum amount of such payments and shall pay the remainder of such payments (together with interest at the rate
provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as soon as the amount thereof can be determined, but in no event later than the thirtieth day after the date of such termination. Such payments will be made in all events within two and one-half
(2 1/2) months following the calendar year in which such termination of employment occurred. If the amount of the estimated
payments exceeds the amount subsequently determined to have been due, such excess shall constitute a loan by the Corporation to you payable on the fifth day after demand by the Corporation (together with interest at the rate provided in
Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code). 

			
	Ms. Rose Hoover	  	13

  

 (g) The Corporation shall also pay to you all legal fees and expenses incurred by you as a result of,
and related to, such termination of your employment by the Corporation for Cause, by the Corporation other than for Cause, or by you for Good Reason (including all such fees and expenses, if any, incurred in contesting or disputing any such
termination or in seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by this Agreement or in connection with any tax audit or proceeding to the extent attributable to the application of Section 4999 of the Code to any payment or benefit
provided hereunder). 
 (h) You shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other
employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement be reduced by any compensation earned by you as the result of employment by another employer after the date of termination of your employment, or otherwise.

 (i) With respect to the continuation of certain employee benefits for twenty-four months pursuant to Section 5(d)(D), the following
shall apply: 
 (A) During the eighteen (18) month COBRA Continuation Period, the Corporation will provide coverage as follows:

 (i) If you elect COBRA Continuation Coverage, you shall continue to participate in all medical, dental and vision insurance plans you were
participating in on the termination date, and the 

			
	Ms. Rose Hoover	  	14

  

 
Corporation shall pay the entire applicable premium. During the COBRA Continuation Period, you shall be entitled to benefits on substantially the same basis
and cost as would have otherwise been provided had you not separated from service. To the extent that such benefits are available under the above-referenced benefit plans and you had such coverage immediately prior to termination of employment, such
continuation of benefits for you shall also cover your dependents for so long as you are receiving benefits under this Section 5. The COBRA Continuation Period for medical and dental insurance under this Section 5(i) shall be deemed to run
concurrent with the continuation period federally mandated by COBRA (generally 18 months), or any other legally mandated and applicable federal, state, or local coverage period for benefits provided to terminated employees under the health care
plan. For purposes of this Agreement, (1) “COBRA” means the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, and (2) “COBRA Continuation Period” shall mean the continuation period for medical and
dental insurance to be provided under the terms of this Agreement which shall commence on the first day of the calendar month following the month in which the date of your termination falls and generally shall continue for an eighteen
(18) month period. 
 (ii) Following the conclusion of the eighteen(18) month COBRA Continuation Period, the Corporation will provide
coverage as follows: 

			
	Ms. Rose Hoover	  	15

  

 (1) If the relevant plan is self insured (within the meaning of Section 105(h) of the Code), and
such plan permits coverage for you, then the Corporation will continue to provide coverage under the plan for an additional six (6) months and will annually impute income to you for the fair market value of the premium. 
 (2) If, however, any such plan does not permit the continued participation following the end of the COBRA Continuation Period as contemplated above,
then the Corporation shall take all commercially reasonable efforts to provide you with, or assist you in obtaining, continued medical and dental coverage comparable to the coverage you had during the COBRA Continuation Period. It is specifically
acknowledged by you that if such coverage is provided under a Corporation sponsored self insured plan, it will be provided on an after-tax basis and you will have income imputed to you annually equal to the fair market value of the premium. If this
coverage cannot be provided by the Corporation, (or where such continuation would adversely affect the tax status of the plan pursuant to which the coverage is provided), then as an alternative, the Corporation will reimburse you in lieu of such
coverage an amount equal to your actual and reasonable cost of continuing comparable coverage. 
 (B) With respect to the continuation of
disability, life insurance, and other similar employee benefit insurance plans applicable to 

			
	Ms. Rose Hoover	  	16

  

 
salaried employees for twenty-four (24) months pursuant to Section 5(d)(D), the following shall apply: 
 (j) To the extent your coverage for disability, life insurance, and other similar employee benefit insurance plans applicable to salaried employees,
cannot be provided under the Corporation’s insurance plans, the Corporation will reimburse you for your premium cost to obtain comparable insurances coverages. 
 (C) Reimbursement to you pursuant to Section 5(i)(A) or (B) above will be available only to the extent that (1) such expense is actually incurred for any particular calendar year and reasonably
substantiated; (2) reimbursement shall be made no later than the end of the calendar year following the year in which such expense is incurred by you; (3) no reimbursement provided for any expense incurred in one taxable year will affect
the amount available in another taxable year; and (4) the right to this reimbursement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no reimbursement will be provided for any expense incurred
following the twenty-four (24) month period of benefit continuation or for any expense which relates to coverage after such date. 
 (j) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that a payment hereunder is subject to 409A of the Code (and not excepted therefrom) and payable on account of your separation from service, such payment
shall be delayed for a period of six (6)

			
	Ms. Rose Hoover	  	17

  

 
months after your termination date (or, if earlier, your death) if you are a Specified Employee (namely, a “key employee” as defined in
Section 416(i) of the Code without regard to paragraph (5) thereof, of the Corporation, as determined in accordance with the regulations issued under Code Section 409A and the procedures established by the Corporation). Any such
payment that would otherwise have been due or owing during such six (6)month period will be paid immediately following the end of the six (6)month period in the month following the month containing the six (6)month anniversary of your date of
termination, together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. 
 6. Successors; Binding
Agreement. 
 (a) The Corporation will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or
otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Corporation or of any division or subsidiary thereof employing you to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the
Corporation would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. Failure of the Corporation to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall
entitle you to compensation from the Corporation in the same amount and on the same terms as you would be entitled hereunder if you terminated your employment for Good Reason, except that for purposes of 

			
	Ms. Rose Hoover	  	18

  

 
implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed to be the date of termination of your employment.

 (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by your personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators,
successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. 
 7. Notice. For the purpose of this Agreement, notices and all other
communications provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses
set forth on the first page of this Agreement, or to any changed address, notice of which either of us shall have given to the other. 
 8.
Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by you and such officer as may be specifically designated by the Board. The
validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 
 9. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. 
 10. Effective Date. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date signed by you.

 (ii) the willful engaging by you in conduct that is demonstrably and materially injurious to the
Corporation, monetarily or otherwise, as set forth in a resolution of the Board, which resolution must be passed by at least two-thirds ( 2/3) of the entire Board at a meeting called for the purpose and after an opportunity for you and your counsel to be heard by the Board, or 
 (iii) your conviction of a felony, or conviction of a misdemeanor involving assets of the Corporation. 
 For purposes of this Section 4(c), no act, or failure to act, on your part shall be deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by you not in
good faith and without reasonable belief that your action or omission was in the best interest of the Corporation. 
 (d) For purposes of
this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean, without your express written consent, the occurrence after a Change in Control of any one or more of the following conditions, which condition continues without timely and complete remedy by the
Corporation after notice, as provided below: 
 (i) the assignment to you of duties inconsistent with your duties, responsibilities and
status immediately before the Change in Control or a reduction or alteration in the nature or status of your responsibilities 

			
	Ms. Dee Ann Johnson	  	7

  

 
from those in effect immediately before the Change in Control; 
 (ii) a reduction by the Corporation in your base salary as in effect immediately before the Change in Control, a failure to increase such base salary at the same intervals as prevailed before the Change in Control in
an amount at least equal to the same percentage increase as the last increase prior to the Change in Control, or a reduction in bonus after the Change in Control over the last bonus paid before the Change in Control unless there are equivalent
reductions in bonuses for all executives of the Corporation; 
 (iii) the requirement that you be based at a location in excess of
twenty-five (25) miles from the location where you are currently based; 
 (iv) the failure by the Corporation to continue in effect
any of the Corporation’s employee benefit plans, policies, practices or arrangements in which you participate or under which you are entitled to benefits, or the failure by the Corporation to continue your participation therein or benefits
thereunder on substantially the same basis, both in terms of the amount of benefits provided and the level of your participation relative to other participants, as existed immediately prior to the Change in Control; or 
 (v) the breach of this Agreement by the Corporation because of the Corporation’s failure to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor to
the Corporation to assume and agree to perform this Agreement, as contemplated in Section 6. 

			
	Ms. Dee Ann Johnson	  	8

  

 The foregoing notwithstanding, you shall notify the corporation within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of
a particular condition described above in this Section 4(d), and the Corporation shall have thirty (30) days from such notice completely to remedy such particular condition so that you are in the same position as if the condition had never
occurred. If the Corporation timely and completely remedies the condition as required above, then the particular occurrence of the particular condition for which you gave notice shall no longer constitute Good Reason. If the Corporation does not
timely and completely remedy the particular occurrence of the particular condition for which you gave notice, you shall be deemed to terminate employment for Good Reason on the thirty-first day following your notice to the Corporation. 

(e) “Good Reason” may be established notwithstanding your possible incapacity due to physical or mental illness, provided that Disability
has not been established pursuant to Section 4(b). Your continued employment following the Change in Control shall not constitute a waiver of any rights hereunder, including, but not limited to, rights with respect to any circumstance
constituting Good Reason or rights under Section 6. 
 5. Compensation Upon Termination or During Incapacity. Following a Change
in Control, upon termination of your employment or during a period of incapacity but before termination for Disability, you shall be entitled to the following benefits: 
 (a) During any period prior to termination for Disability in 

			
	Ms. Dee Ann Johnson	  	9

  

 
which you fail to perform your full-time duties with the Corporation as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness, you shall continue to
receive your Base Salary at the rate in effect at the commencement of any such period. Following termination for Disability, your benefits shall be determined in accordance with the Corporation’s retirement, insurance and other applicable
programs and plans then in effect. 
 (b) If your employment shall be terminated by the Corporation for Cause or by you other than for Good
Reason, the Corporation shall pay to you your full Base Salary through the date of termination of your employment at the rate then in effect, plus all other amounts to which you are entitled under any compensation or benefit plans of the Corporation
at the time such amounts are due, and the Corporation shall have no further obligations to you under this Agreement. 
 (c) If your
employment terminates by reason of your death, your benefits shall be determined in accordance with the Corporation’s retirement, survivor’s benefits, insurance and other applicable programs and plans then in effect. 
 (d) If your employment by the corporation shall be terminated within twenty-four (24) months after the Change in Control, unless such termination
is (i) by the Corporation for Cause, (ii) because of your death or Disability, or (iii) by you other than for Good Reason, you shall be entitled to the following benefits (the “Severance Payments”): 

			
	Ms. Dee Ann Johnson	  	10

  

 (A) the Corporation shall pay to you your full Base Salary through the date of termination of your
employment at the rate then in effect; 
 (B) the Corporation shall pay to you, as severance benefits, a lump sum severance payment equal to
(i) the sum of three (3) times your annual base salary either at the time of the Change in Control or at termination, whichever is higher, and (ii) three (3) times your bonus paid for the prior year; 
 (C) in lieu of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation (“Shares”) issuable upon exercise of outstanding options (“Options”), if
any, granted to you under the Corporation’s Incentive Stock Option Plan, or under any additional, substitute or successor option program or plan as may be in effect from time to time (which Options shall be cancelled upon the making of the
payment referred to below), you shall receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the higher of the closing price per Share as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of termination of your employment or the highest price
per Share actually paid in connection with any Change in Control, over the exercise price per Share of each Option held by you, times (ii) the number of Shares covered by each such Option; 
 (D) as more completely described in Section 5(i), for a twenty-four (24) month period after such termination, the Corporation will arrange to
provide you at the Corporation’s expense with benefits under the 

			
	Ms. Dee Ann Johnson	  	11

  

 
Corporation’s health, dental, disability, life insurance, and other similar employee benefit insurance plans applicable to salaried employees, or
benefits substantially similar to the benefits you were receiving under such plans immediately prior to the termination of your employment; and 
 (E) the opportunity to purchase the leased Corporation car, which has been assigned to you, at
its then book value under the Corporation’s leasing arrangements, provided that should you choose to take such opportunity, you must complete such purchase by a date that is within two and one-half (2 1/2) months after the calendar year of your termination. 
 (F) All benefits payable to you under the Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) or the Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”) at the time of such termination, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan and the SERP. 
 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, in the event you are determined by the Board to be a “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G(c) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)) with respect to the Company, the amount of the payments hereunder, which are determined to be “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code), shall be
reduced to the extent necessary so that the total of (i) such payments and (ii) any other 

			
	Ms. Dee Ann Johnson	  	12

  

 
payment or the value of any benefit received or to be received by you in connection with a Change in Control remains deductible by the Company for federal
income tax purposes. If any payments payable hereunder or under any other agreement with the Corporation are required to be reduced pursuant to the preceding sentence, such reduction shall be made to such payments in the order elected by you.

 (f) The payments provided for in Section 5(d)(A), (B) and (C) and
Section 5(e) shall be made not later than the fifth day following your termination of employment pursuant to the provisions of Section 5(d); provided, however, that if the amounts of such payments cannot be finally determined
on or before such day, the Corporation shall pay to you on such day an estimate as determined in good faith by the Corporation of the minimum amount of such payments and shall pay the remainder of such payments (together with interest at the rate
provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as soon as the amount thereof can be determined, but in no event later than the thirtieth day after the date of such termination. Such payments will be made in all events within two and one-half
(2 1/2) months following the calendar year in which such termination of employment occurred. If the amount of the estimated
payments exceeds the amount subsequently determined to have been due, such excess shall constitute a loan by the Corporation to you payable on the fifth day after demand by the Corporation (together with interest at the rate provided in
Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code). 

			
	Ms. Dee Ann Johnson	  	13

  

 (g) The Corporation shall also pay to you all legal fees and expenses incurred by you as a result of,
and related to, such termination of your employment by the Corporation for Cause, by the Corporation other than for Cause, or by you for Good Reason (including all such fees and expenses, if any, incurred in contesting or disputing any such
termination or in seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by this Agreement or in connection with any tax audit or proceeding to the extent attributable to the application of Section 4999 of the Code to any payment or benefit
provided hereunder). 
 (h) You shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other
employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement be reduced by any compensation earned by you as the result of employment by another employer after the date of termination of your employment, or otherwise.

 (i) With respect to the continuation of certain employee benefits for twenty-four months pursuant to Section 5(d)(D), the following
shall apply: 
 (A) During the eighteen (18) month COBRA Continuation Period, the Corporation will provide coverage as follows:

 (i) If you elect COBRA Continuation Coverage, you shall continue to participate in all medical, dental and vision insurance plans you were
participating in on the termination date, and the 

			
	Ms. Dee Ann Johnson	  	14

  

 
Corporation shall pay the entire applicable premium. During the COBRA Continuation Period, you shall be entitled to benefits on substantially the same basis
and cost as would have otherwise been provided had you not separated from service. To the extent that such benefits are available under the above-referenced benefit plans and you had such coverage immediately prior to termination of employment, such
continuation of benefits for you shall also cover your dependents for so long as you are receiving benefits under this Section 5. The COBRA Continuation Period for medical and dental insurance under this Section 5(i) shall be deemed to run
concurrent with the continuation period federally mandated by COBRA (generally 18 months), or any other legally mandated and applicable federal, state, or local coverage period for benefits provided to terminated employees under the health care
plan. For purposes of this Agreement, (1) “COBRA” means the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, and (2) “COBRA Continuation Period” shall mean the continuation period for medical and
dental insurance to be provided under the terms of this Agreement which shall commence on the first day of the calendar month following the month in which the date of your termination falls and generally shall continue for an eighteen
(18) month period. 
 (ii) Following the conclusion of the eighteen(18) month COBRA Continuation Period, the Corporation will provide
coverage as follows: 

			
	Ms. Dee Ann Johnson	  	15

  

 (1) If the relevant plan is self insured (within the meaning of Section 105(h) of the Code), and
such plan permits coverage for you, then the Corporation will continue to provide coverage under the plan for an additional six (6) months and will annually impute income to you for the fair market value of the premium. 
 (2) If, however, any such plan does not permit the continued participation following the end of the COBRA Continuation Period as contemplated above,
then the Corporation shall take all commercially reasonable efforts to provide you with, or assist you in obtaining, continued medical and dental coverage comparable to the coverage you had during the COBRA Continuation Period. It is specifically
acknowledged by you that if such coverage is provided under a Corporation sponsored self insured plan, it will be provided on an after-tax basis and you will have income imputed to you annually equal to the fair market value of the premium. If this
coverage cannot be provided by the Corporation, (or where such continuation would adversely affect the tax status of the plan pursuant to which the coverage is provided), then as an alternative, the Corporation will reimburse you in lieu of such
coverage an amount equal to your actual and reasonable cost of continuing comparable coverage. 
 (B) With respect to the continuation of
disability, life insurance, and other similar employee benefit insurance plans applicable to 

			
	Ms. Dee Ann Johnson	  	16

  

 
salaried employees for twenty-four (24) months pursuant to Section 5(d)(D), the following shall apply: 
 (j) To the extent your coverage for disability, life insurance, and other similar employee benefit insurance plans applicable to salaried employees,
cannot be provided under the Corporation’s insurance plans, the Corporation will reimburse you for your premium cost to obtain comparable insurances coverages. 
 (C) Reimbursement to you pursuant to Section 5(i)(A) or (B) above will be available only to the extent that (1) such expense is actually incurred for any particular calendar year and reasonably
substantiated; (2) reimbursement shall be made no later than the end of the calendar year following the year in which such expense is incurred by you; (3) no reimbursement provided for any expense incurred in one taxable year will affect
the amount available in another taxable year; and (4) the right to this reimbursement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no reimbursement will be provided for any expense incurred
following the twenty-four (24) month period of benefit continuation or for any expense which relates to coverage after such date. 
 (j) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that a payment hereunder is subject to 409A of the Code (and not excepted therefrom) and payable on account of your separation from service, such payment
shall be delayed for a period of six (6)

			
	Ms. Dee Ann Johnson	  	17

  

 
months after your termination date (or, if earlier, your death) if you are a Specified Employee (namely, a “key employee” as defined in
Section 416(i) of the Code without regard to paragraph (5) thereof, of the Corporation, as determined in accordance with the regulations issued under Code Section 409A and the procedures established by the Corporation). Any such
payment that would otherwise have been due or owing during such six (6)month period will be paid immediately following the end of the six (6)month period in the month following the month containing the six (6)month anniversary of your date of
termination, together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. 
 6. Successors; Binding
Agreement. 
 (a) The Corporation will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or
otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Corporation or of any division or subsidiary thereof employing you to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the
Corporation would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. Failure of the Corporation to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall
entitle you to compensation from the Corporation in the same amount and on the same terms as you would be entitled hereunder if you terminated your employment for Good Reason, except that for purposes of 

			
	Ms. Dee Ann Johnson	  	18

  

 
implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed to be the date of termination of your employment.

 (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by your personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators,
successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. 
 7. Notice. For the purpose of this Agreement, notices and all other
communications provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses
set forth on the first page of this Agreement, or to any changed address, notice of which either of us shall have given to the other. 
 8.
Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by you and such officer as may be specifically designated by the Board. The
validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 
 9. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. 
 10. Effective Date. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date signed by you.
