NOTES_TO_CONSOLIDATED_FINANCIAL_STATEMENTS
1. Unaudited_Consolidated_Financial_Statements
Certain amounts for preceding periods have been reclassified for
comparability with the 1994 presentation.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1994, the
consolidated statements of income for the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 1994 and 1993 and the consolidated statements of cash
flows for the nine month periods then ended have been prepared by the
Corporation without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations
and cash flows for the periods presented have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Corporation's annual report to shareholders for the year ended December 31,
1993. The results of operations for the periods ended September 30, 1994
are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
2. Investments
On April 2, 1993, Amersham International PLC (Amersham) acquired United
States Biochemical Corporation (Biochem), including Ampco-Pittsburgh
Corporation's investment therein. The proceeds to the Corporation were
comprised of: cash $6,500,000 and common shares of Amersham valued at
$2,300,000. The Corporation recorded a gain of $6,490,000 with respect to
this transaction in the second quarter of 1993.
In January 1994, the Corporation received a payment of $1,598,000 from
Amersham, composed of cash of $814,000 and 52,466 shares of Amersham valued
at $784,000 in satisfaction of a contingent purchase price in connection
with their 1993 purchase of the Corporation's 20% interest in Biochem. As
no value was assigned previously to the contingent purchase price, the
settlement was recorded as a gain.
During the second and third quarters of 1994, the Corporation sold 212,861
shares of its holdings in Amersham, realizing proceeds of $3,256,000 and a
pre-tax gain of $957,000 (including $227,000 in the third quarter). The
Corporation has remaining 36,726 shares of Amersham which are restricted
from sale until May 1996.
During the first quarter of 1994, the Corporation sold 243,500 shares of
its interest in Northwestern Steel and Wire Company (Northwestern),
realizing proceeds of $2,779,000 and a pre-tax gain of $2,659,000.
Consistent with the previous accounting for Northwestern, this gain was
reflected in discontinued operations net of a deferred tax provision of
$931,000. At September 30, 1994, the Corporation owns 862,831 shares of
Northwestern.
- 6 -
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
The Northwestern shares held by the Corporation have been reclassified as
"available for sale" in accordance with SFAS No. 115 and reported at fair
value, with the unrealized gain included in shareholders' equity. The
excess of market value over carrying value of $3,727,000 at September 30,
1994, net of a deferred tax charge of $2,000,000, has been included in
shareholders' equity.
3. Disposition
On May 6, 1993, the Corporation sold its air handling operations in the
United States, Canada and Mexico to Howden Group, PLC for a cash purchase
price of $34,250,000. The transaction resulted in a loss of $15,491,000.
4. Litigation
The Corporation had previously reported on litigation against it in
connection with the Chapter 11 filing of Valley-Vulcan Mold Company
(Valley), of which a subsidiary of the Corporation is a 50% partner. On
April 4, 1994, the Bankruptcy Court issued a favorable judgment denying all
claims against the Corporation. No reserve had been established for the
outcome of this litigation based on the Corporation's belief that it had
meritorious defenses. The plaintiff in the case, the unsecured creditors
committee of Valley, has filed a notice of appeal from the Court's
decision.
In addition to the litigation noted above, the Corporation is from time to
time subject to routine litigation incidental to its business. The
Corporation believes that the results of the above noted litigation and
other pending legal proceedings will not have a materially adverse effect
on the Corporation's financial condition or results of operation.
5. Inventory
Inventories are comprised of the following:

</TABLE>
6. Provision_for_taxes_on_income
The difference in tax provisions from statutory rates for 1993 were due
principally to the capital gain on the sale of Biochem being more than
offset by the capital loss from the sale of the air handling operations.
7. Net_Income_Per_Common_Share
Net income per common share is computed on the basis of a weighted number
of shares of Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation's common stock outstanding, which
has remained unchanged at 9,577,621 shares, for the periods presented.

AMPCO-PITTSBURGH_CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL_CONDITION_AND_RESULTS_OF_OPERATIONS
Operations for the Nine and Three Month
Periods_Ended_September_30,_1994_and_1993
Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 increased by $2,507,000
or 3% over 1993. Net sales for the third quarter increased by $4,013,000
or 17% compared to 1993 reflecting improved volume for all operations.
The order backlog at September 30, 1994 was $59,800,000 compared with
$56,200,000 at December 31, 1993 and $58,500,000 at September 30, 1993.
The cost of products sold relationships for the nine and three months ended
September 30, 1994 were 73.3% and 72.4%, respectively. This compares with the
prior comparable periods at 73.8% and 72.6%, respectively. Year-to-date
margins have improved modestly; however, further improvement was impacted by a
strike at Aerofin which also resulted in a reduction in first quarter
shipments and subsequent replacement of a major portion of the labor force.
Aerofin is now fully operational.
Selling and administrative expenses declined by $840,000 or 6% for the
year-to-date period. The decline was primarily due to a combination of staff
and expense reductions and increased fee income for services provided by the
Corporation to others. Selling and administrative expenses increased by
$434,000 or 11% for the third quarter compared to 1993 due principally to
increased commissions as a result of the higher sales level.
Due to the above, the income from operations was $5,490,000 and $1,732,000 for
the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 1994, respectively. This
compares with prior year comparable periods at $3,674,000 and $1,104,000,
respectively.
For a discussion on the gain on sales of investments, see Notes to Financial
Statements - Note 2.
Interest expense was lower in the year-to-date 1994 period due to the
prepayment of bank debt in the second quarter of 1993 following the sale of the
air handling group (AHG).
For a discussion on the provision for taxes on income, see Notes to Financial
Statements - Note 6.
Discontinued operations include a gain in 1994 from the partial disposition of
shares held in Northwestern Steel and Wire Company (Northwestern). (See Notes
to Financial Statements - Note 2). The 1993 amounts represent the operating
results and loss on sale of the AHG.
As a result of all of the above, the Corporation had net income for the nine
and three months ended September 30, 1994 of $6,451,000 and $1,132,000,
respectively. This compares with a net loss in 1993 for the nine month period
of $(7,486,000) and net income for the three month period of $904,000.

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Liquidity_and_Capital_Resources
Net cash flow from operating activities was positive for the nine months
ended September 30, 1994 at $5,601,000 and compares with positive cash
flows of $10,175,000 for the comparable period 1993. Net cash outflow
for working capital changes and payments associated with discontinued
operations was $3,256,000 in 1994 compared to net cash inflows of
$3,447,000 in 1993. The 1994 net cash outflow reflects an increased
level of trade receivables compared to 1993 due to the increased sales
activity in the third quarter. The 1993 net cash inflow included a
reduction in working capital for the air handling operations prior to
sale. Net cash flow from operating activities in 1994 includes a
recovery of $2,200,000 from the Chapter 11 estate of Valley-Vulcan Mold
Company in connection with the Corporation's lien in respect of a
previously paid industrial revenue bond guarantee. (See Notes to
Financial Statements - Note 4.
The net cash inflow for investing activities in 1994 includes proceeds
from the sale of Amersham and Northwestern shares and the contingent
purchase price receipt from Amersham.
Capital expenditures for 1994 totaled $2,195,000 compared to $2,047,000
in 1993. Capital appropriations carried forward from September 30, 1994
total $1,452,000. Capital requirements are expected to be financed from
funds internally generated.
The Corporation maintains short-term lines of credit and a revolving
credit agreement in excess of the cash needs of its businesses. The
total available at September 30, 1994 was $22,000,000.
At September 30, 1994, the Corporation owned 862,831 shares of
Northwestern which had a market value of $6,148,000. The Corporation
intends to sell its shares in Northwestern in an orderly manner,
depending on market conditions. The Corporation also owned 36,726 shares
of Amersham which are restricted from sale until May 1996.
With respect to environmental concerns, the Corporation has been named a
potentially responsible party at several sites by federal, state and
local authorities. The Corporation has accrued for costs of remedial
actions it would likely be required to take. In addition, the
Corporation has provided for environmental clean-up costs related to
preparing its discontinued business facilities for sale. While it is not
possible to quantify with certainty the potential of actions regarding
environmental matters, particularly any future remediation and other
compliance efforts, in the opinion of management, compliance with the
present environmental protection laws will not have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the
Corporation.

ARTICLE IV
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND OTHER PERSONS
SECTION 1. Right to Indemnification.
Except as prohibited by law and as set forth below, every director and
officer of the Corporation shall be entitled as of right to be indemnified by
the Corporation against expenses and any liability paid or incurred by such
person in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other,
whether brought by or in the right of the Corporation or otherwise, in which
such person may be involved, as a party, witness or otherwise, or is
threatened to be involved by reason of such person being or having been a
director or officer of the Corporation or by reason of the fact that such
person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director,
officer, employee, fiduciary agent, or other representative of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
entity (such claim, action, suit or proceeding hereinafter being referred to
as an "Action"); provided, that no such right of indemnification shall exist
in any case where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim to
indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful
misconduct or recklessness, and provided further, that no such right of
indemnification shall exist with respect to an Action brought by a director or
officer against the Corporation except as provided in the last sentence of
this Section 1. Indemnification hereunder shall include the right to have
expenses incurred by such person in connection with defending a civil or
criminal Action paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of
such Action upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to
repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. Persons who are not directors
or officers of the Corporation may be similarly indemnified in respect of
service to the Corporation or to another such entity at the request of the
Corporation to the extent the Board of Directors at any time denominates such
person as entitled to the benefits of this Section 1. Any director or officer
of the Corporation serving (i) another corporation, of which a majority of the
shares entitled to vote in the election of its directors is held by the
Corporation, or (ii) any employee benefit plan of the Corporation or any
corporation referred to in clause (i), in any capacity, shall be deemed to be
doing so at the request of the Corporation. As used herein, "expenses" shall
include fees and expenses of counsel selected by such person and "liability"
shall include amounts of judgments, excise taxes, fines and penalties, and
amounts paid in settlement
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
(with the written consent of the Corporation, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld). With respect to any Action brought by a director or
officer against the Corporation, the director or officer shall be entitled to
be indemnified for expenses incurred in connection with such Action pursuant
to this Section only (a) if the Action is a suit brought as a claim for
indemnity under Section 2 of this Article IV or otherwise, (b) if the director
or officer is successful in whole or in part in the Action for which expenses
are claimed, or (c) if the indemnification for expenses is included in a
settlement of the Action or is awarded by a court.
SECTION 2. Right of Claimant to Bring Suit.
If a claim under Section 1 of this Article IV is not paid in full by the
Corporation within thirty days after a written claim has been received by the
Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the
Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, and, if successful in
whole or in part, the claimant shall also be entitled to be paid the expense
of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such suit that the
claimant's conduct was such that under Pennsylvania law the Corporation is
prohibited from indemnifying the claimant for the amount claimed, but the
burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the
failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent
legal counsel or its shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the
commencement of such suit that indemnification of the claimant is proper in
the circumstances, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including
its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its shareholders) that
the claimant's conduct was such that indemnification is prohibited by law,
shall be a defense to the suit or create a presumption that the claimant's
conduct was such that indemnification is prohibited by law.
SECTION 3. Insurance and Funding.
The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance to protect itself and
any person eligible to be indemnified hereunder against any liability or
expense asserted or incurred by such person in connection with any Action,
whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person
against such liability or expense by law or under the provisions of this
Article IV. The Corporation may create a trust fund, grant a security
interest, cause a letter of credit to be issued or use other means (whether or
not similar to the foregoing) to ensure the payment of such sums as may become
necessary to effect indemnification as provided herein.
SECTION 4. Non-Exclusivity; Nature and Extent of Rights.
The right of indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for in
this Article IV (i) shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights, whether
now existing or hereafter created, to which those seeking indemnification
hereunder may be entitled under any agreement, by-law or charter provision,
vote of shareholders or directors or otherwise, (ii) shall be deemed to create
contractual rights in favor of persons entitled to indemnification hereunder,
and (iii) shall continue as to persons who have ceased to have the status
pursuant to which they were entitled or were denominated as entitled to
indemnification hereunder and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of persons entitled to indemnification hereunder.
The right of indemnification provided for herein may not be amended or
repealed so as to limit in any way the indemnification provided for herein
with respect to any acts or omissions occurring prior to the adoption of any
such amendment or repeal.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
SECTION 5. Applicable Law.
Any person entitled to be indemnified or to the reimbursement or the
advancement of expenses as a matter of right pursuant to this Article IV may
elect to have the right to indemnification (or advancement of expenses)
interpreted on the basis of the applicable law in effect at the time of the
occurrence of the event or events giving rise to the Action, to the extent
permitted by law, or on the basis of the applicable law in effect at the time
indemnification is sought.
SECTION 6. Effective Date.
This Article IV shall apply to every Action other than an Action filed
prior to January 27, 1987, except that it shall not apply to the extent that
Pennsylvania law does not permit its application to any breach of performance
of duty by any person eligible to be indemnified hereunder occurring prior to
January 27, 1987. Article IV of these By-laws, as in effect prior to the
adoption of this Article IV, shall continue to remain in full force and effect
for all Actions that are not covered by this Article IV.
ARTICLE V
FISCAL YEAR AND ANNUAL REPORT
SECTION 1. Fiscal Year.
The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be the calendar year.
SECTION 2. Annual Report.
The Board of Directors shall cause a report to be mailed to the
shareholders as soon as practicable after the close of each fiscal year. The
report shall include financial statements showing the financial position of
the Corporation and its subsidiaries at the end of the fiscal year and the
results of their operations for the year. Such financial statements shall be
examined by independent public accountants appointed for the purpose by the
Board and shall be accompanied by such accountants' opinion with respect
thereto.
ARTICLE VI
SHARE TRANSFERS AND RECORDS
The Board of Directors may appoint a transfer agent or transfer agents
and a registrar or registrars to make and record all transfers of shares of
stock of the Corporation of any class. Each transfer agent shall prepare
transfer records showing transfers made through the office of such agent. A
share register shall be kept at the registered office of the Corporation.
Such share register shall constitute books of the Corporation with respect to
shares of stock of any class and the holders of record thereof, provided that
the Board of Directors may designate instead as the books of the Corporation
for this purpose a share register kept at the office of a transfer agent or
registrar. If the Board of Directors shall have appointed a transfer agent or
transfer agents and a registrar or registrars for stock of any class,
transfers of stock of such class shall be made by such transfer agent
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
or transfer agents at their offices and shall be recorded in their books and
in the books of the registrar or registrars. In case of loss, destruction or
theft of a certificate of stock, another may be issued in lieu thereof in such
manner and upon such terms as the Board of Directors shall authorize.
ARTICLE VII
AMENDMENT OF BY-LAWS
Except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation of the
Corporation, these By-laws may be altered or amended by a vote of a majority
of the members of the Board of Directors at any regular or special meeting
duly convened after notice of that purpose; subject, however, to the power of
the shareholders, as set forth in the Articles of Incorporation, to change or
repeal the By-laws at any annual or special meeting duly convened after notice
of that purpose.

nine appearing highest in priority on such list) shall be deemed
directors for such meeting and shall constitute a quorum for the

September 20, 1994
Mr. Louis Berkman
433 Braybarton Boulevard
Steubenville, Ohio 43952
Dear Louis:
Ampco-Pittsburgh 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 yourself, 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.
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.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
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 September 20, 1996 and on each
anniversary thereafter, the term of this Agreement shall automatically be
extended for one 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, 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 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)
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
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 $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
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
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
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 constituting a Change in Control shall have occurred,
you shall be entitled to 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, or pursuant to Section 6 prior to the Change in
Control, 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
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
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 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:
(i) If, following a Change in Control, there is no Parent
Corporation and your status as Chairman of the Board of the Corporation
shall not continue after such Change in Control or, if following a Change
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
in Control, there is a Parent Corporation, as defined below, you shall
not be Chairman of the Board of the Parent Corporation, or, in either
case, you shall not be afforded the authority, responsibilities and
prerogatives of such position and report directly to the Board of
Directors of the Corporation or the Parent Corporation, as the case may
be;
(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 failure of the Corporation to obtain a satisfactory
agreement from any successor to the Corporation to assume and agree to
perform this Agreement, as contemplated in Section 7.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
(e) For purposes of this Agreement, "Parent Corporation" shall mean
any "affiliate" of the Corporation that is the ultimate controlling entity of
the Corporation or its successor and shall include, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, any entity (and affiliated persons and entities)
that beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of
the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting stock of the
Corporation, or any entity that beneficially owns, directly or indirectly,
forty percent (40%) or more (but less than fifty percent (50%) of the combined
voting power of the then outstanding voting stock of the Corporation if such
entity (or affiliated persons or entities) has at least one representative on
the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
(f) "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 7.
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 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.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
(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"):
(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 the sum of (i) five times your annual
base salary either at the time of the Change in Control or at
termination, whichever is higher, and (ii) five 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 an option program or plan as may be in effect
from time to time (which Options shall be cancelled upon the making of
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
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) for a thirty-six (36) month period after such termination,
the Corporation will arrange to provide you at the Corporation's expense
with benefits under the Corporations health, dental, disability, life
insurance, and other similar plans, or benefits substantially similar to
the benefits you were receiving under such plans immediately prior to the
termination of your employment;
(E) all benefits payable to you under the Plan at the time of
such termination, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the
Plan;
(F) the opportunity to purchase the leased company car, if one
has been assigned to you, at its then book value under the Corporation's
leasing arrangements; and
(G) at the expense of the Corporation, office space and
secretarial services, both at the level provided to you immediately prior
to the Change in Control or your termination, whichever is higher, for
twelve (12) months following such termination.
(e) If any payments made to or in respect of you under this
Agreement, or otherwise in respect of your employment by the Corporation,
become subject to the excise tax described in Section 4999 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Corporation will pay to you
a special payment sufficient, on an after-tax basis (taking into account
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
federal, state and local taxes and related interest and penalties), to put
you (and, in the event of your death, the beneficiary of any such payments) in
the same position you (or such beneficiary)
would have enjoyed had such excise tax not been applicable to any of such
payments.
(f) The payments provided for in Sections 5(d) and (e) shall be
made not later than the fifth day following your termination 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. 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).
(g) The Corporation shall also pay to you all legal fees and
expenses incurred by you as a result of such termination of your employment
(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
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
any compensation earned by you as the result of employment by another
employer after the date of termination of your employment, or otherwise.
6. Termination_Before_a_Change_in_Control.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, if prior to a
Change in Control there has been any statement made by the person (or an
affiliate of such person) involved in such Change in Control to the effect
that following such Change in Control any action will or may be taken that
would have the effect of permitting you following a Change in Control to
terminate your employment for Good Reason, in any proxy statement or other
proxy soliciting materials, any tender offer, exchange offer, or prospectus or
any other document or press release publicly issued or filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental agency in connection
with the contemplated Change in Control (including any such documents issued
by the Corporation in which such statement is reported), then you shall have
the right to notify the Corporation that you intend to terminate your
employment as of the effective date of the Change in Control, in which case
you shall be entitled to receive the payments due under Section 5 on the later
of (i) five (5) business days before the contemplated effective date of the
Change in Control or (ii) the date of your notice to the Corporation;
provided, however, that you shall return to the Corporation any payments
received prior to a Change in Control (together with interest at the rate
provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) if the contemplated Change in
Control does not become effective within a reasonable period of time following
the contemplated effective date.
7. 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
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
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
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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
11. Effective_Date. This Agreement shall become effective as of the
date signed by you.
