INDUSTRY SEGMENTS

                          RAILCAR LEASING AND MANAGEMENT

The Railcar Leasing and Management  segment  (Transportation),  headquartered in
Chicago,  Illinois,  is  principally  engaged in leasing  specialized  railcars,
primarily  tank cars,  under full service  leases.  As of December 31, 1995, its
domestic fleet consisted of approximately 64,900 railcars, including 53,900 tank
cars and 11,000 specialized freight cars, primarily Airslide covered hopper cars
and plastic pellet cars. In addition,  Transportation  has  approximately  1,500
railcars in its Mexican fleet.  Transportation  has upgraded its fleet over time
by adding new larger  capacity cars and retiring  older smaller  capacity  cars.
Transportation's  railcars have a useful life of  approximately  30 to 33 years.
The average age of the railcars in  Transportation's  fleet is  approximately 15
years.

The  following  table  sets forth the  approximate  tank car fleet  capacity  of
Transportation  as of the end of each of the years  indicated  and the number of
cars of all types added to Transportation's fleet during such years:

Number of railcars added to domestic fleet   6,200   4,900   3,000   1,600   1,500
</TABLE>

Transportation's   customers  use  its  railcars  to  ship  over  700  different
commodities,  primarily chemicals,  petroleum,  food products and minerals.  For
1995, approximately 54% of railcar leasing revenue was attributable to shipments
of chemical products,  21% to petroleum products, 18% to food products and 7% to
other  products.  Many of these  products  require cars with  special  features;
Transportation  offers a wide  variety  of sizes and types of cars to meet these
needs.  Transportation  leases  railcars to over 700 customers,  including major
chemical,  oil, food and agricultural companies. No single customer accounts for
more than 4% of total railcar leasing revenue.

Transportation  typically  leases new  railcars  to its  customers for a term of
five years or longer,  whereas renewals or leases of used cars are typically for
periods  ranging from less than a year to seven years with an average lease term
of about three years. The utilization rate of Transportation's domestic railcars
as of December 31, 1995 was approximately 95%.

                                   -1-
<PAGE>
Under  its full  service  leases,  Transportation  maintains  and  services  its
railcars,  pays ad valorem taxes, and provides many ancillary services.  Through
its Car Status Service System, for example,  the company provides customers with
timely  information  about the  location  and  readiness of their leased cars to
enhance and maximize the  utilization  of this  equipment.  Transportation  also
maintains a network of major service centers consisting of four domestic and one
foreign service center, and 25 mobile trucks  in  17  locations.  Transportation
also utilizes independent third-party repair shops.

Transportation purchases most of its new railcars from Trinity Industries,  Inc.
(Trinity), a Dallas-based metal products manufacturer,  under a contract entered
into in 1984 and extended from time to time  thereafter,  most recently in 1992.
Transportation  anticipates  that through this  contract it will  continue to be
able to satisfy  its  customers'  new car lease  requirements.  Transportation's
engineering   staff  provides   Trinity  with  design   criteria  and  equipment
specifications,  and works with  Trinity's  engineers to develop new  technology
where  needed in order to upgrade or improve car  performance  or in response to
regulatory requirements.

The full-service railcar leasing industry is comprised of Transportation,  Union
Tank Car Company,  General Electric Railcar Services  Corporation,  Shippers Car
Line division of ACF Industries,  Incorporated,  and many smaller companies.  Of
the  approximately  207,000  tank cars owned and leased in the United  States at
December  31,  1995,   Transportation   had  approximately   53,900.   Principal
competitive factors include price, service and availability.

                            TERMINALS AND PIPELINES

GATX Terminals Corporation  (Terminals) is engaged in the storage,  handling and
intermodal  transfer of petroleum and chemical  commodities at key points in the
bulk liquid  distribution  chain.  All of its  terminals  are located near major
distribution  and  transportation  points and most are capable of receiving  and
shipping bulk liquids by ship, rail, barge and truck. Many of the terminals also
are  linked with major interstate  pipelines.  In addition to storing,  handling
and transferring bulk liquids,  Terminals provides blending and testing services
at most of its facilities.  Terminals,  headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, owns
and  operates  28  terminals  in 11 states,  and eight  terminals  in the United
Kingdom.  Terminals  also  has  joint  venture  interests  in  14  international
facilities.  Additionally,  Terminals  owns or holds  interests  in four refined
product pipeline systems.

As of December 31, 1995,  Terminals had a total  storage  capacity of 75 million
barrels. This includes 55 million barrels of bulk liquid storage capacity in the
United States,  7 million barrels in the United Kingdom,  and an equity interest
in another 13 million  barrels of storage  capacity  in Europe and the Far East.
Terminals'  smallest  bulk  liquid  facility  has a storage  capacity  of 95,000
barrels while its largest facility,  located in Pasadena,  Texas, has a capacity
of over 12 million  barrels.  Capacity  utilization  at Terminals'  wholly owned
facilities  was 85% at the end of 1995;  throughput for the year was 655 million
barrels.

For 1995,  75% of Terminals'  revenue was derived from petroleum  products,  23%
from a variety of  chemical  products,  and 2% from other  products.  Demand for
Terminals'  facilities  is  dependent  in part upon  demand  for  petroleum  and
chemical  products and is also  affected by refinery  output,  foreign  imports,
availability  of other  storage  facilities,  and the expansion of its customers
into new geographical markets.

                              -2-
<PAGE>
Terminals serves  approximately 300 customers,  including major oil and chemical
companies as well as trading firms and larger  independent  refiners.  No single
customer  accounts  for more than 5% of  Terminals'  revenue.  Customer  service
contracts  are both  short term and long  term.  Terminals  along with two Dutch
companies,  Paktank N.V. and Van Ommeren N.V., are the three major international
public  terminalling  companies.   The  domestic  public  terminalling  industry
consists of Terminals, Paktank Corporation,  International-Matex Tank Terminals,
and many  smaller  independent  terminalling  companies.  In  addition to public
terminalling companies, oil and chemical companies also have significant storage
capacity in their own private  facilities.  Terminals'  pipelines  compete  with
rail,  trucks and other  pipelines  for movement of liquid  petroleum  products.
Principal  competitive factors include price,  location relative to distribution
facilities, and service.

                                 FINANCIAL SERVICES

GATX  Financial  Services,  through  its  principal  subsidiary,   GATX  Capital
Corporation,  provides  asset-based  financing of transportation  and industrial
equipment through capital leases, secured equipment loans, and operating leases.
GATX  Capital  also  provides  related  financial  services  which  include  the
arrangement  of lease  transactions  for  investment  by other  lessors  and the
management of lease  portfolios for third  parties.  In these  underwriting  and
management activities,  GATX Capital seeks fee income and residual participation
income. In addition to its San Francisco headquarters,  GATX Capital has offices
in four U.S. cities and five foreign countries.

The financial  services industry is both crowded and efficient.  GATX Capital is
one of the larger non-bank  capital  services  companies.  GATX Capital competes
with captive  leasing  companies,  leasing  subsidiaries  of  commercial  banks,
independent  leasing  companies,  lease  underwriters  and  brokers,  investment
bankers,  and also with the  manufacturers  of  equipment.  Financing  companies
compete on the basis of service,  effective  rates and  transaction  structuring
skills.

GATX Capital participates in selected areas where it believes the application of
its  strengths  can result in  above-market  returns in  exchange  for  assuming
appropriate  levels of risk.  GATX  Capital has  developed a portfolio of assets
diversified  across  industries  and equipment  classifications,  the largest of
which  include  aircraft  and rail.  At  December  31,  1995,  GATX  Capital had
approximately  800 financing  contracts  with 600  customers,  aggregating  $1.5
billion of  investments  before  reserves.  Of this  amount,  39%  consisted  of
investments associated with commercial jet aircraft, 18% railroad equipment, 13%
warehouse and production equipment,  10% information  technology  equipment,  7%
marine equipment, 4% golf courses, and 9% other.

                               GREAT LAKES SHIPPING

American  Steamship  Company (ASC),  with the largest  carrying  capacity of the
domestic Great Lakes vessel  fleets,  provides  modern and efficient  waterborne
transportation of dry bulk materials to the integrated  steel,  electric utility
and construction industries. ASC's fleet is entirely comprised of self-unloading
vessels which do not require any shoreside  assistance to discharge cargo. ASC's
eleven vessels range in size from 635 feet to 1,000 feet, transport cargoes from
17,000 net tons up to 70,000 net tons  depending on vessel size,  and can unload
at speeds  from 2,800 net tons per hour up to 10,000 net tons per hour.  Because
the Great  Lakes are fresh  water,  Great  Lakes  vessels are not subject to the
severe  rusting  condition  typical of salt water  vessels.  As a result,  ASC's
vessels have expected lives of 50 to 75 years.

In 1995,  ASC carried  25.5  million tons of cargo.  The primary  materials  ASC
transported  were iron ore, coal and  limestone  aggregates.  Other  commodities
transported  include sand, salt, potash,  gypsum,  grain, marble chips and slag.
ASC's revenue  source by industry  served  during 1995 was 49% steel,  23% power
generation;  20% construction and 8% other. No single customer accounts for more
than 24% of ASC's revenue.

ASC competes with three other U.S.  flag Great Lakes  commercial  fleets,  which
include U.S.S. Great Lakes Fleet,  Inc.,  Oglebay Norton Company,  and Interlake
Steamship,  and with all steel companies  which operate  captive  fleets.  Great
Lakes  shipping is the only major  activity of GATX which  consumes  substantial
quantities  of petroleum  products;  fuel for these  operations  is presently in
adequate  supply.  Competition is based  primarily on service and price.  ASC is
headquartered in Williamsville, New York, with one regional office.

                          LOGISTICS AND WAREHOUSING

GATX Logistics,  Inc. (Logistics) is one of the largest third-party providers of
distribution and logistics  support  services and warehousing  facilities in the
United States. Logistics,  headquartered in Jacksonville,  Florida, operates 104
facilities covering approximately 24 million square feet of warehousing space in
North America with  utilization  of 97 percent at the end of 1995.  Value-adding
services are strategically  the most important benefit GATX Logistics  provides.
Examples  of  these  services  are  logistics  planning,   information  systems,
just-in-time delivery systems, packaging, sub-assembly, and returns management.

GATX Logistics serves about 650 customers,  many of which are Fortune  1000-type
companies. Most customers are manufacturers, but the customer base also includes
retailers.  In the warehousing  sector,  GATX Logistics  competes primarily with
in-house or private  operations  and with other  national  operators  as well as
multi-regional  and local operators.  In providing  transportation and logistics
services,  GATX  Logistics  competes  with  the  major  trucking  companies  and
providers of specialized distribution services.

GATX  Logistics'  revenue  source by industry  served  during 1995 was 22% motor
vehicle parts and  components,  16% grocery,  14% consumer  products,  11% major
appliances, 8% farm and construction equipment, 7% electronics,  5% chemical, 3%
health  care,  and 14% other.  No single  customer  accounts for more than 9% of
Logistics' revenue.

Trademarks, Patents and Research Activities
- -------------------------------------------
Patents,  trademarks,  licenses, and research and development activities are not
material to these businesses taken as a whole.

Seasonal Nature of Business
- ---------------------------
Great  Lakes  shipping  is  seasonal  due  to  the  effects  of  winter  weather
conditions. However, seasonality is not considered significant to the operations
of GATX and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Customer Base
- -------------
GATX and its  subsidiaries  are not  dependent  upon a single  customer or a few
customers. The loss of any one customer would not have a material adverse effect
on any segment or GATX as a whole.

Employees
- ---------
GATX and its subsidiaries have approximately 5,900 active employees, of whom 25%
are hourly employees covered by union contracts.

Environmental Matters
- ---------------------
Certain operations of GATX's subsidiaries  (collectively GATX) present potential
environmental risks principally through the transportation or storage of various
commodities.  Recognizing  that some risk to the environment is intrinsic to its
operations,  GATX  is  committed  to  protecting  the  environment,  as  well as
complying with applicable environmental  protection laws and regulations.  GATX,
as well as its  competitors,  is subject to extensive  regulation under federal,
state and local environmental laws which have the effect of increasing the costs
and  liabilities  associated  with the conduct of its  operations.  In addition,
GATX's foreign operations are subject to environmental  regulations in effect in
each respective jurisdiction.

GATX's  policy is to monitor and actively  address  environmental  concerns in a
responsible  manner.  GATX has  received  notices  from  the U.S.  Environmental
Protection  Agency (EPA) that it is a  potentially  responsible  party (PRP) for
study and  clean-up  costs at 11 sites  under the  requirements  of the  Federal
Comprehensive  Environmental  Response,  Compensation  and Liability Act of 1980
(Superfund).  Under Superfund and comparable state laws, GATX may be required to
share in the cost to clean-up various  contaminated  sites identified by the EPA
and  other  agencies.  In all  but one  instance,  GATX  is one of a  number  of
financially  responsible  PRPs and has been  identified as  contributing  only a
small  percentage  of the  contamination  at each of the  sites.  Due to various
factors such as the required level of remediation and  participation in clean-up
efforts  by  others,  GATX's  total  clean-up  costs at these  sites  cannot  be
predicted with  certainty;  however,  GATX's best estimates for  remediation and
restoration  of  these  sites  have  been  determined  and are  included  in its
environmental reserves.

                                          -5-
<PAGE>
Future costs of environmental compliance are indeterminable due to unknowns such
as the  magnitude  of  possible  contamination,  the  timing  and  extent of the
corrective  actions that may be required,  the  determination  of the  company's
liability in proportion to other  responsible  parties,  and the extent to which
such costs are recoverable from third parties including insurers. Also, GATX may
incur  additional  costs relating to facilities and sites where past  operations
followed  practices and procedures that were  considered  acceptable at the time
but in the future  may  require  investigation  and/or  remedial  work to ensure
adequate  protection to the environment  under current or future  standards.  If
future laws and regulations  contain more stringent  requirements than presently
anticipated,  expenditures  may be higher  than the  estimates,  forecasts,  and
assessments of potential  environmental  costs provided  below.  However,  these
costs are expected to be at least equal to the current level of expenditures. In
addition,  GATX has provided  indemnities for environmental issues to the buyers
of three divested companies for which GATX believes it has adequate reserves.

GATX's  environmental  reserve at the end of 1995 was $94 million  and  reflects
GATX's best  estimate of the cost to  remediate  its  environmental  conditions.
Additions to the reserve were $14 million in 1995 and $27 million in 1994;  1994
included  $13  million  recorded  in  conjunction  with  terminal  acquisitions.
Expenditures  charged to the reserve  amounted to $16 million and $12 million in
1995 and 1994, respectively.

In 1995,  GATX made capital  expenditures of $18 million for  environmental  and
regulatory  compliance  compared to $15 million in 1994. These projects included
marine vapor recovery,  discharge  prevention  compliance,  waste water systems,
impervious  dikes,  tank  modifications  for  emissions  control,  and  tank car
cleaning  systems.   Environmental   projects   authorized  or  currently  under
consideration would require capital expenditures of approximately $28 million in
1996. GATX anticipates it will make annual  expenditures at a similar level over
the next five years.

Item 2.  Properties

Information  regarding the location and general character of certain  properties
of GATX is included in Item 1,  Business,  of this  document  and in Exhibit 13,
GATX Annual Report to Shareholders  for the year ended December 31, 1995 on page
68, GATX  Location of  Operations  (page  reference  is to the Annual  Report to
Shareholders).  The major  portion of Terminals'  land is owned;  the balance is
leased. Most of the warehouses operated by GATX Logistics are leased; the others
are managed for third parties.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

A railcar owned by  Transportation  was involved in a derailment  near Dunsmuir,
California, in July  1991  that  resulted  in a spill of metam  sodium  into the
Sacramento River.  Various lawsuits seeking damages in unspecified  amounts have
been filed against General American  Transportation  Corporation  (GATC),  or an
affiliated  company,  most of which have been consolidated in the Superior Court
of the State of California for the City and County of San Francisco  (Nos.  2617
and 2620).  GATC has now been dismissed by the class  plaintiffs in those cases,
and has resolved the claims of the plaintiffs who opted out of the class.  There
was one other case  seeking  recovery for  response  costs and natural  resource
damages:  State of California,  et al, vs. Southern Pacific, et al, filed in the
Eastern  District  of  California   (CIV-S-92  1117).  All  other  actions  were
consolidated with these two cases. GATC was also

                                        -6-
<PAGE>
named as a potentially responsible party by the State of California with respect
to the assessment and remediation of possible damages to natural resources which
claim was also  consolidated in the suit in the Eastern  District of California.
GATC has now  entered  into  settlement  agreements  with the  United  States of
America, the State of California,  Southern Pacific and certain other defendants
settling all material  claims arising out of the above incident in an amount not
material to GATC.

On July 14, 1995,  a judgment in the amount of $9.7 million was entered  against
GATC by the U.S.  District  Court for the  Northern  District of Illinois in the
matter  of  General   American   Transportation   Corporation   v.   Cryo-Trans,
Incorporated  (Case  No.  91  C  1305),  a  case  involving  an  alleged  patent
infringement by GATC in the construction and use of its ArcticarTM cryogenically
cooled railcar. That judgment has been reduced to approximately $9 million. GATC
was also permanently  enjoined from any further infringement of the patent as of
August 1, 1995,  subsequently  extended to September 1, 1995.  Of GATC's  65,000
railcar fleet,  the injunction  affected only 180 railcars,  80 of which were on
lease and 100 on  order.  GATC has  filed an  appeal  of the  decision  with the
Federal  Circuit Court of Appeals.  Even in the event of an adverse  decision on
appeal,  GATX does not believe the costs  associated with the disposition of the
affected cars will have a material adverse effect on GATX.

Various  lawsuits  have  been  filed  in  the  Superior  Court for  the State of
California and served upon Terminals,  Calnev Pipe Line Company, or another GATX
subsidiary  seeking an unspecified amount of damages arising out of the May 1989
explosion in San Bernardino, California. Those suits, all of which were filed in
the County of San Bernardino unless otherwise indicated, are: Aguilar, et al, v.
Calnev  Pipe Line  Company,  et al,  filed  February  1990 in the  County of Los
Angeles (No.  0751026);  Alba, et al, v. Southern  Pacific  Railroad Co., et al,
filed November 1989 (No.  252842);  Terry,  et al, v. Southern  Pacific,  et al,
filed December 1989 (No. 253604);  Charles, et al, v. Calnev Pipe Line, Inc., et
al,  filed  May  1990  (No.   256269);   Abrego,  et  al,  v.  Southern  Pacific
Transportation  Corporation,  et al, filed May 1990 in the County of Los Angeles
(No. BC 000947) and settled November,  1995; Glaspie, et al, v. Southern Pacific
Transportation,  et al,  filed  May  1990  in the  County  of Los  Angeles  (No.
BC002047) and settled November 1995; Burney, et al, v. Southern Pacific,  et al,
filed May 1990 in the County of Los  Angeles  (BC000876)  and settled  May,  95;
Ledbetter, et al, v. City of San Bernardino,  et al, filed May 1990 (No. 256173)
and settled  April,1995;  Mary Washington v. Southern Pacific,  et al, filed May
1990 (No.  256346);  Stewart,  et al, v. Southern  Pacific  Railroad Co., et al,
filed May 1990 (No. 256464);  Pearson v. Calnev Pipe Line Company,  et al, filed
May 1990 in the County of San  Bernardino  (No.  256206);  Pollack  v.  Southern
Pacific Transportation, et al, filed May 1992 (No. 271247); Davis v. Calnev Pipe
Line Company, et al, filed May 1990 (No. 256207); J. Roberts, et al, v. Southern
Pacific Transportation,  et al, filed November 1992 (No. 275936); Brooks, et al,
v. Southern  Pacific,  et al, filed May 1990 (No.  256176) and settled  February
1994;  Goldie, et al, v. Southern  Pacific,  et al, filed May 1990 and dismissed
July 1993, appeal pending; Irby, et al, v. Southern Pacific, et al, (No. 255715)
filed April 1990; Esparza, et al, v. Southern Pacific, et al, (No. 256433) filed
May 1990 and settled  February 1994;  Reese, et al, v. Southern  Pacific,  et al
(No. 256434) filed May 1990; Nancy Washington, et al, v.Southern Pacific, et al,
(No. 256435) filed May 1990.  As Terminals' insurance carriers have assumed  the
defense of these  lawsuits  without a reservation of rights and have paid all of
the settlements entered to date, GATX believes that the likelihood of a material
adverse  effect on GATX's  consolidated  financial  position  or  operations  is
remote.

In October 1991,  GATX and five of its senior  officers were named as defendants
in Searls vs. Glasser,  et al, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern
District  of  Illinois,  a class  action  lawsuit  filed on  behalf  of  certain
purchasers of GATX's common stock  alleging  violation of the  securities  laws,
common law fraud and negligent  misrepresentation  in various public  statements
made  by  GATX  during  1991  concerning  1992  forecasted  earnings.  Upon  the
completion  of  extensive  discovery,  the District  Court  granted a motion for
summary judgment in favor of GATX. That judgment was appealed and in August 1995
the U.S.  Court of Appeals  for the 7th  Circuit  affirmed  the  decision of the
District  Court.  The plaintiffs then filed a petition with the Court of Appeals
for a Rehearing In Banc which was denied.  As the time for filing an appeal from
the  decision of the Court of Appeals has expired,  that  decision is now final.
Accordingly,  as  there  are no  further  avenues  of  appeal  available  to the
plaintiff, this matter is now closed.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Shareholders
and Board of Directors
GATX Corporation


We have audited the consolidated  financial  statements and related schedules of
GATX Corporation and subsidiaries listed in Item 14 (a)(1) and (2) of the Annual
Report on Form 10-K of GATX  Corporation  for the year ended  December 31, 1995.
These financial  statements and related schedules are the  responsibility of the
Company's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to  express  an opinion on these
financial statements and related schedules based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial  statements and related  schedules.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting  principles used and significant
estimates  made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  financial
statement  presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable  basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material  respects,  the consolidated  financial position of GATX
Corporation  and  subsidiaries at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of
their  operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended  December 31, 1995,  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.  Also, in our opinion, the related financial  statements  schedules,
when considered in relation to the basic financial  statements taken as a whole,
present fairly in all material respects, the information set forth therein.


                                                            ERNST & YOUNG LLP

           debt discount and expense, and dividends on preferred stock adjusted
           to a pretax basis.  "Earnings"  consist of  consolidated  net income
           before income taxes and fixed  charges,  less equity in net earnings
           of affiliated companies, net of distributions received.

                                     GATX CORPORATION
                                 MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN


1.       OBJECTIVE.

         This Management  Incentive Plan (the "Plan"),  which is administered by
the  Compensation  Committee of the Board of  Directors  (the  "Committee"),  is
established  for the  period  January 1 through  December  31,  1996 (the  "Plan
Year"),   to  motivate  and  reward  those   employees   whose   activities  and
contributions  have a significant  bearing on the success and  profitability  of
GATX Corporation and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company").

2.       ELIGIBILITY.

         Recommendation  for  participation  in the  Plan  is  initiated  by the
Subsidiary Presidents or the Vice President of Human Resources,  and approved by
the Chief Executive Officer.

3.       PARTICIPATION.

         Participants under this Plan will be exempt salaried employees with the
Company who are  individually  authorized to participate  (the  "Participants").
Each  Participant  will be notified by the  Subsidiary  President  or  Corporate
Department Head of his or her  participation  and  participation  level ("Target
Bonus").

4.       DEFINITIONS.

         For purposes of this Plan, the following  terms will have the following
meanings:

         A.  "Base  Salary"  will  mean  (1) the  total  salary  (excluding  any
incentive  compensation  or lump  sum  payments)  paid to a  Participant  by the
Company  before  reduction  for  any  contribution  authorized  under  the  GATX
Corporation   Salaried   Employees   Retirement   Savings  Plan,  plus  (2)  any
compensation   which  the  Participant   elects  to  defer  under  any  deferred
compensation plan of the Company.

         B.  "Income Goals" will mean the net income goals established annually
by the Committee for GATX and each subsidiary.  See Exhibit II.

     C. "Bonus" will mean the amount  payable to a  Participant  under this Plan
for the current Plan Year,  calculated in accordance with the provisions of this
Plan, and approved by the Committee.  

     D. "Target Bonus" will mean the percentage of base salary payable if 
100% of income goals and individual  performance goals (if applicable) 
are attained.



<PAGE>



Page 2

         E.  "Profit Attainment Percentage" will mean the quotient of income 
divided by income goal expressed as a percentage.

         F.  "Payout Percentage" will mean the percentage of the Bonus paid for 
the Company or Subsidiary performance as determined by the Profit Attainment
Percentage.  The relationship between the Profit Attainment Percentage and the
Payout Percentage is approved by the Committee and presented in Exhibit III.

         G.  "Personal Evaluation Percentage" will mean the percentage of the 
Bonus paid for the Participant's individual performance during the Plan Year. 
See Exhibit IV.

         H.  "Threshold" will mean the minimum level of income required for 
payout under the Earnings Portion of this Plan.  See Exhibit II.

5.       COMPONENTS OF THE BONUS.

         The Bonus is composed of a GATX Earnings Portion, a Subsidiary Earnings
Portion and a Personal Portion. As soon as practical following the start of each
Plan  Year,  the  Committee  will  establish  Income  Goals  for  GATX  and each
participating subsidiary.

         A. GATX  Earnings  Portion - The  extent to which GATX meets its Income
Goal - determined  by reference to the Profit  Attainment  Percentages  (Exhibit
III) - will be the basis  for the GATX  Earnings  Portion  of the Bonus for both
corporate and subsidiary participants.

         B.  Subsidiary  Earnings  Portion - For  subsidiary  Participants,  the
extent to which each subsidiary  meets its Income Goal - determined by reference
to the Profit Attainment  Percentages (Exhibit III) - will be the basis for that
subsidiary's Earnings Portion of the Bonus.

         For  corporate  Participants,  the  Subsidiary  Earnings  Portion  will
recognize  the  relative  proportion  of the Income Goals  established  for each
participating  subsidiary.  At the start of the Plan  Year,  each  participating
subsidiary will be assigned a weight by the Committee calculated on the basis of
its  Income  Goal  as a  percent  of  the  total  of  the  Income  Goals  of all
participating  subsidiaries,  with a minimum  weight of 5.0%  (Exhibit  II). The
extent to which each subsidiary  meets its Income Goal - determined by reference
to the Profit Attainment  Percentages  (Exhibit III) - will be the basis for the
Subsidiary Earnings Portion of the Bonus.

         C. Personal Portion - The Personal Portion  recognizes the level of the
Participant's  individual  performance (Exhibit IV). The percentage of the Bonus
represented  by the Personal  Portion may vary depending upon whether or not the
Threshold  levels  established  annually  for the  GATX  Earnings  Portion  (for
corporate  Participants)  and the Subsidiary  Earnings  Portion (for  subsidiary
Participants) are met.

6.       WEIGHTING OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE BONUS.

         As soon as  practical  following  the  start  of each  Plan  Year,  the
Committee  will  determine  the weight to be allocated to each of the  component
parts of the Bonus identified in paragraph 5 hereof.  For the current Plan Year,
the component  parts of the Bonus for each category of Participant  are attached
as Exhibit I.

7.       CALCULATION OF THE BONUS.

         A. The weighting of the Income Goals is multiplied by a Participant's 
Target Bonus to determine the Target Value for the Income Goal.  
(Exhibit V, Section A).

         B. Payout Percentages are determined from the Profit Attainment
Percentages as described in paragraph 5 (Exhibit V, Section B.)

         C. Payout Percentages are multiplied by the Target Values of the Income
Goals to determine  the Earnings  Portion of the Bonus.  (Exhibit V, Section C.)
The  Personal  Portion is  determined  by  multiplying  the Target  Value of the
Personal  Portion by the Personal  Evaluation  Percentage as determined from the
table attached as Exhibit IV.

         D. The Bonus will be the sum of the Earnings  Portions and the Personal
Portion of the Bonus,  provided  that no Bonus payment will be made with respect
to the Earnings Portions unless the Company and participating subsidiaries reach
Threshold levels as established by the Committee.

         E. The Company's  Chief Executive  Officer or Subsidiary  President may
increase or decrease the Bonus to an individual Participant by a maximum of 25%,
based on an assessment of that Participant's overall contribution or performance
related to a special project.

8.       ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.

         A. Administration.
            Administration  of the Plan will be the  responsibility of the
Committee which may delegate responsibility thereunder to the Corporate Director
of Compensation and Benefits, Corporate Human Resources Department.

         B. New Participants.
            Subject  to the  provisions  of the  following  sentence,  new
employees  who join  the  Company  during  the Plan  Year may be  authorized  to
participate  in the Plan on a  pro-rata  basis  with the  approval  of the Chief
Executive  Officer.  Participation  under this Plan will not be available to any
new employee after October 1st of any Plan Year.

         C. Transfers and Promotions.
            If a Participant is  transferred  or promoted  during the Plan
Year causing an adjustment in his Target Bonus, such Participant's bonus will be
calculated on a pro-rata basis to reflect this change.

         D.  Retirement, Death or Disability.
             A  Participant  who  retires,  dies,  or becomes  totally  and
permanently  disabled,  as that term is  defined  in the GATX  Pension  Plan for
Salaried  Employees,  during the Plan Year will be entitled to a pro-rated bonus
in accordance with Paragraph E.

         E. Payment of Bonus.
            Bonuses will be paid as soon as possible  after the completion
of the Company's year-end audit, normally no later than March 1. The Participant
does not have a  contractual  right to receive  the Bonus.  Participants  become
entitled to receive  Bonus  payments  only after the payments have been approved
and authorized by the Committee.

         F. Employment as a Condition Precedent.
            No bonus will be paid,  except  pursuant to the  provisions of
Paragraph D above,  unless the  Participant is an employee of the Company at the
end of the Plan Year.

         G. No Employment Contract.
            Neither the establishment of the Plan nor the authorization to
be a  Participant  in the Plan will be construed as giving the  Participant  the
right to be retained in the service of the Company.

         H. Modification of Goals.
            The  Committee  may,  from time to time  during the Plan Year,
modify the Plan as  appropriate  including  (I) Income Goals,  (ii)  Thresholds,
(iii) Payout  Percentages,  (iv) assigned  weights  established  for one or more
subsidiaries  and (v)  weighting of the  Components of the Bonus if, in the sole
discretion  of the  Committee,  any part of the Plan  ceases to be a  reasonable
measure  of  desired  performance.  Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary
contained  herein,   the  Committee  shall  have  the  authority  and  exclusive
discretion to determine whether income or expenses of an unusual or nonrecurring
nature are to be  included  with other  income of the  Company  for  purposes of
determining whether the established Income Goals have been achieved.

                  engaging in the same or comparable  type of employment as that
                  in which the  Executive  was  engaged  on the day prior to the
                  Triggering Event.

         j.      "Triggering  Event"  means the first to occur of a Change of  
                 Control or the Disposition of the Company Unit by which the 
                 Executive was primarily employed on the day prior to such 
                 Change of Control or Disposition.

         2. Employment. This Agreement shall have no effect on, nor shall any of
its provisions apply to, the Executive's  employment or termination thereof that
occurs prior to the occurrence of a Triggering Event.  However, if the Executive
is employed by the Company on the day prior to a Triggering  Event,  the Company
shall  continue to employ the Executive  and the  Executive  shall remain in the
employ of the  Company  for the  duration of the  Employment  Period.  Provided,
however,  subject  only to the  provisions  of  paragraphs  five (5) and six (6)
below,  the Company may, at any time,  terminate the employment of the Executive

be

<PAGE>


                                       -4-


  entitled  to  participate,   in  accordance  with  the  Company's  policy  and
  consistent  with the  Executive's  position  and salary,  in all plans and all
  Perquisites applicable generally to other executives of the Company Unit.

  5.       Termination Payments.  If the Company terminates or Constructively
  Terminates the Executive's employment at any time during the Employment Period
  for any reason other than Cause or Total Disability, the Company shall 
  promptly pay or cause to be paid to the Executive in a lump sum an amount 
  equal to:

     a. Twice the Executive's  annual salary before  deductions and deferrals at
the level thereof as of the day prior to the  Triggering  Event,  plus the bonus
that  would  have been  payable  to the  Executive  (for the year in which  such
termination  or  Constructive  Termination  occurs)  under  the GATX  Management
Incentive  Plan (the  "MIP"))  as in  effect on the day prior to the  Triggering
Event, equal in amount to the product of (i) the Executive's annual salary as in
effect immediately prior to the Triggering Event and (ii) the Executive's Target
Bonus (as that term is defined in the MIP); minus

  b.   Any amounts paid to the Executive in accordance with the Company's
           severance pay policies.

  In addition to the amount set forth above, the Company shall:

       (1)  Permit   the   Executive   to   continue   the   Executive's
            participation  (or  provide  equivalent   coverage)  in  the
            Company  Unit's   medical,   dental,   disability  and  life
            insurance programs provided under GATX's benefit plans as in
            effect on the day prior to the  Triggering  Event  until the
            earlier to occur of (a) the second  anniversary  of the date
            as of which the  Executive's  employment  is  terminated  or
            Constructively  Terminated  or (b)  the  date on  which  the
            Executive  becomes  eligible  for  coverage  under any other
            employee  benefit plans providing  substantially  equivalent
            benefits at substantially equivalent levels;

  (2)      Reimburse  the  Executive  (to a  maximum  of five  thousand  dollars
           ($5,000) per year) for financial  and estate  planning and tax return
           preparation  for  the  two  (2)  years   immediately   following  the
           Executive's termination or Constructive  Termination of employment in
           accordance with GATX's executive financial planning program in effect
           on the day prior to a Triggering Event;

  (3)      Reimburse  the  Executive  (to a maximum of thirty  thousand  dollars
           ($30,000))  for the  cost  of  outplacement  services  plus up to one
           thousand  dollars  ($1,000)  of  expenses   incurred  in  seeking  or
           obtaining new employment.

  6.       Retirement Benefits.  In addition to the foregoing, if the Executive 
           survives for two (2) years following such termination or Constructive
           Termination of employment:

  a.       The Company shall pay or cause to be paid to the Executive (or in the
           event of the  Executive's  death following the expiration of such two
           (2) year period to the  Executive's  surviving  spouse) a  Retirement
           Income  Benefit  (as  hereinafter  defined)  calculated  and  paid as
           follows:

  (1)

            The Retirement Income Benefit  shall  be  an  amount  equal  to  the
            difference,  if any,  between (a) the monthly  benefit the Executive
            (or,  in  the  event  of  the  Executive's  death,  the  Executive's
            surviving  spouse) would have received as a monthly  pension benefit
            under  the  GATX  Corporation   Non-Contributory  Pension  Plan  for
            Salaried   Employees,   (the  "Salaried   Pension  Plan")  the  GATX
            Corporation  Excess Benefit Plan, the GATX Corporation  Supplemental
            Benefit Plan and any other written  agreement  between the Executive
            and the Company  regarding  the  Executive's  retirement,  all as in
            effect  on the day  prior to the  Triggering  Event,  (  hereinafter
            collectively,   the  "Pension   Plan")   assuming  the   Executive's
            employment  had  terminated  two (2)  years  after  the  date of the
            Executive's  termination or Constructive  Termination of employment,
            and accordingly  the Executive had accumulated two additional  years
            of service credit under the Pension Plan at a level of  compensation
            calculated in accordance with the immediately following sentence and
            (b) the  amount,  if any,  the  Executive  (or,  in the event of the
            Executive's  death,  the  Executive's   surviving  spouse)  actually
            receives as a monthly  benefit under the Pension Plan.  For purposes
            of subparagraph (a) of this paragraph,  the Executive's compensation
            for each of the two additional years of assumed service credit shall
            be equal to the level of the  Executive's  compensation as in effect
            immediately  prior to the Triggering  Event, plus an amount equal to
            the  average of the Covered  Bonuses (as defined in Section  2.13 of
            the Salaried Pension Plan) paid to the Executive during the five (5)
            calendar year period immediately preceding the Triggering Event.


   (2)      Payment of the  Retirement  Income  Benefit shall be made in the
            same  manner,  simultaneously  with and in the same form as payments
            are, or would have been,  made to the  Executive (or in the event of
            the Executive's death to the Executive's surviving spouse) under the
            Pension  Plan,  but  shall  commence  no  sooner  than two (2) years
            following the Executives' termination or Constructive Termination of
            employment.  Any election  available to and validly  executed by the
            Executive  under the Pension  Plan as to either an optional  form of
            payment or as to the date on which  benefits are to commence,  shall
            be

<PAGE>

                                         -6-


           applicable to the Retirement  Income Benefit and shall be utilized in
           calculating the amount of the Retirement Income Benefit.

            b. The Company  shall  permit the  Executive to  participate  in (or
            shall provide  equivalent  coverage) on the same basis as other GATX
            employees who have terminated their employment at approximately  the
            same age and  after a  substantially  equivalent  number of years of
            service  in  the  GATX   Corporation   Medical  Plan  and  the  GATX
            Corporation  Life Insurance Plan, both as in effect on the day prior
            to the  Triggering  Event.  Such benefits  shall be paid at the same
            time,  under the same  conditions  and to the same  extent as if the
            Executive's  employment  had  continued  for two (2) years after the
            termination  or   Constructive   Termination   of  the   Executive's
            employment.

  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive would otherwise be entitled to
  receive a Retirement Income Benefit hereunder but dies prior to the expiration
  of a two (2) year period following termination or Constructive  Termination of
  the  Executive's  employment  and leaves a surviving  spouse,  such  surviving
  spouse shall be entitled to receive such payments and  Perquisites as would be
  applicable to such surviving spouse under this Agreement, the Pension Plan and
  all other GATX employee  benefit plans and policies in effect on the day prior
  to the Triggering  Event,  calculated and payable in the same manner as if the
  Executive had been employed by the Company on the Executive's date of death.

  7. Payment in Lieu. Except with respect to (a) compensation  applicable to the
  Executive's  employment  prior to the termination or Constructive  Termination
  thereof,  (b) amounts  payable under the  severance pay policies  described in
  paragraph 5(b) above, and (c) such compensation as may be payable or rights as
  may be  exercisable  on  termination  of  employment  under the GATX  Salaried
  Employees  Retirement  Savings Plan, the Executive  Deferred Income Plans, the
  Management  Incentive  Plan,  the GATX  Corporation  1985 Long Term  Incentive
  Compensation Plan or other similar programs, all as in effect on the day prior
  to the  Triggering  Event,  the amounts  payable to the  Executive  under this
  Agreement shall be in lieu of any other amount payable to the Executive by the
  Company by reason of the Executive's  termination or Constructive  Termination
  of employment.

  8.       Confidentiality.  During and after the Executive's employment, the 
   Executive will not divulge or appropriate to the Executive's own use or to 
   the use of others any secret or  confidential  information or knowledge
   pertaining  to the  business  of the  Company or any of its  subsidiaries  or
   affiliates obtained by the Executive during such employment.



<PAGE>
                                        -7-


  9.       Nonalienation.  The interests of the Executive under the Agreement
  are not subject to the claims of the Executive's creditors and may not 
  otherwise be voluntarily or involuntarily assigned, alienated or encumbered.

  10. Tax Penalties. The Company will provide complete tax and compensation data
  on a timely basis to the Executive and to an accounting firm designated by the
  Executive to enable the  Executive to determine  the extent,  if any, to which
  the Executive's  compensation  under this Agreement and all other compensation
  agreements,  plans and  programs  of the  Company  may be  considered  to be a
  parachute  payment  or excess  parachute  payment  under  section  280G of the
  Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  In the event that any
  such  compensation is deemed to constitute an excess parachute payment that is
  subject  to tax  under  Section  4999 of the Code or any  successor  provision
  thereto  (the  "Excise  Tax"),  the  Company  shall  pay to the  Executive  an
  additional  amount (the "Gross-Up  Amount") that, after payment of all Federal
  and state  income  taxes  thereof  (assuming  the  Executive is at the highest
  marginal federal and applicable state income tax rate in effect on the date of
  payment of the Gross-Up  Amount) and payment of the Excise Tax on the Gross-Up
  Amount,  is equal to the Excise Tax  payable by the  Executive  on such excess
  parachute  payment.  The Gross-Up  Amount  payable with respect to each excess
  parachute payment shall be paid by the Company coincident with payment of such
  excess parachute payment.

  11. No Cumulation or Duplication of Benefits.  The  obligations of the Company
  to make  payments  or provide  benefits  hereunder  are the joint and  several
  obligations  of the Company and the Company Units.  Accordingly,  if following
  the termination or Constructive  Termination of the Executive's employment the
  Executive  receives  any form of  compensation  payments or benefits  from the
  Company or any Company Unit or from a successor thereto or affiliate  thereof,
  the amount of any such  compensation or payment  together with the fair market
  value of any  such  benefits  shall be  deducted  from any  obligation  of the
  Company or applicable Company Unit to make payments or provide benefits to the
  Executive under or by reason of this Agreement.

  12.      Reduction of Payments.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to 
  the contrary, any amounts payable hereunder shall be reduced by such amount as
  may be necessary to make this agreement not unlawful under federal law.

  13.      Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended by written agreement of the
  parties without the consent of any other person and no person, other than the
  parties hereto, shall have any rights under or interest in this Agreement or 
  the subject matter hereof.

  14.      Extension.  The Board of Directors of GATX may, at any time prior to 
  the expiration or termination of this Agreement, extend the term of this 
  Agreement for a period of up to two (2) years from the date on which the


<PAGE>

                                            -8-


 extension is approved, without any further action on the part of the Executive.

  15. Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit
  of, the heirs,  executors and legal  representatives  of the Executive and the
  successors and assigns of the Company and upon any person  acquiring,  whether
  by  merger,   consolidation,   purchase  of  assets  or   otherwise,   all  or
  substantially  all of the assets and business of any Company Unit. The Company
  agrees  that it will  not  effect  the  sale or  other  disposition  of all or
  substantially  all of its  assets  unless  either  (a) the  person  or  entity
  acquiring  the assets or a substantial  portion of the assets shall  expressly
  assume by an instrument in writing all duties and  obligations  of the Company
  under  this   Agreement  or  (b)  the  Company  shall   provide   through  the
  establishment  of a separate  reserve  for the  payment in full of all amounts
  that are or may be  reasonably  expected  to become  payable to the  Executive
  under this Agreement.

  16.  Nonwaiver.  The waiver by either party of a breach of this Agreement 
  shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.

  17.  Resolution  of  Disputes.  Any  controversy  or claim  arising  out of or
  relating to this Agreement or the alleged breach thereof,  shall be settled by
  arbitration  in the City of Chicago,  Illinois in accordance  with the laws of
  the State of Illinois b  arbitrators,  one of whom shall be  appointed  by the
  Company or any  successor  thereto,  one by the Executive and the third by the
  other two. If the other two  arbitrators  cannot agree on the appointment of a
  third  arbitrator,  or if either  party  fails  within  thirty (30) days after
  receipt of written demand to appoint an arbitrator, then such arbitrator shall
  be appointed by the Dean of the Business  School of the  University of Chicago
  or his delegate.  The  arbitration  shall be conducted in accordance  with the
  rules of the  American  Arbitration  Association,  except with  respect to the
  selection of  arbitrators,  which shall be as provided in this  paragraph  17.
  Judgment  upon the award  rendered  by the  arbitrators  may be entered in any
  court having jurisdiction  thereof. In the event that it shall be necessary or
  desirable for the  Executive to retain legal counsel  and/or incur other costs
  and expenses in connection  with the  enforcement of any and all of his rights
  under this  Agreement,  the  Executive  shall be entitled to recover  from the
  Company  reasonable  attorney's  fees and costs and  expenses  incurred by the
  Executive in connection with the enforcement of said rights. Payments shall be
  made to the  Executive  by the Company at the time these  attorney's  fees and
  costs and expenses are incurred by the Executive. If, however, the arbitrators
  should  later  determine  that under the  circumstances  it was unjust for the
  Company to have made any of these  payments of  attorney's  fees and costs and
  expenses to the Executive,  the Executive shall repay any such payments to the
  Company  in  accordance  with the order of the  arbitrators.  Any award of the
  arbitrators  shall include  interest at a rate or rates  considered just under
  the circumstances by the arbitrators.

  18.  Termination of Agreement.  This agreement shall terminate on December 31,
  1997,  provided,  however,  if prior to such date,  but after January 1, 1996,
  there shall  occur  either (a) a Change of Control or (b) a  Disposition  of a
  Company Unit by which the Executive is primarily  employed on the day prior to
  such  Disposition,  this  agreement  shall  remain in  effect  until two years
  following  the  date of the  first  to  occur of such  Change  of  Control  or
  Disposition.

  Termination  of this  Agreement  shall not affect  any rights  that shall have
  accrued to the Executive under this Agreement prior to the termination date.


  IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the  Executive  has hereunto set his hand,  and GATX has

                           immediately prior to the Triggering Event; and

                  (5)      a reasonable  determination by the Executive that, as

                           functions and responsibilities  consistent with those
                           attributable to the Executive's  position immediately
                           prior to the Triggering Event.

                  including  sale,  consolidation,  merger  or  spin-off  of any

         h.       "Perquisites" includes not only those incidental emoluments of
                  office  commonly  included  within the term, such as a company
                  assigned  car,   club   membership   and  financial   planning
                  assistance,  but also the benefits  under  corporate  employee
                  benefit  plans such as the GATX  medical,  life  insurance and
                  Pension  Plans  (as  defined   herein)  and  other  plans  and
                  agreements relating thereto.

         i.       "Total  Disability" means any disability that (1) entitles the
                  Executive  to  disability   income  benefits  under  the  GATX
                  Corporation  Long Term Disability  Income Plan as in effect on
                  the day prior to the  Triggering  Event and (2)  prevents  the
                  Executive,  for the duration of the  Employment  Period,  from
                  engaging in the same or comparable  type of employment as that
                  in which the  Executive  was  engaged  on the day prior to the
                  Triggering Event.

         j.       "Triggering  Event"  means  the first to occur of a Change of
                   Control or the  Disposition  of the Company Unit by which the
                   Executive  was  primarily  employed  on the day prior to such
                   Change of Control or Disposition.

         2. Employment. This Agreement shall have no effect on, nor shall any of
its provisions apply to, the Executive's  employment or termination thereof that
occurs prior to the occurrence of a Triggering Event.  However, if the Executive
is employed by the Company on the day prior to a Triggering  Event,  the Company
shall  continue to employ the Executive  and the  Executive  shall remain in the
employ of the  Company  for the  duration of the  Employment  Period.  Provided,
however,  subject  only to the  provisions  of  paragraphs  five (5) and six (6)
below,  the Company may, at any time,  terminate the employment of the Executive
at will.

         3.  Performance  of Duties.  During the  Executive's  employment by the
Company,  the  Executive  shall devote his or her best efforts and full business
time  exclusively to the business affairs and interests of the Company and shall
faithfully and  efficiently  perform such duties,  consistent with the status of
the Executive's  position, as may be assigned to the Executive from time to time
by the Chief Executive  Officer of the Company or the Chief Executive  Officer's
delegate.

    4.       Compensation.  During the Executive's employment by the 
Company, he or she shall receive a salary in such amount as may be established
from time to time by the Company Unit by which the Executive is primarily 
employed and shall be entitled to participate, in accordance with the 



<PAGE>

                                          -4-


  entitled  to  participate,   in  accordance  with  the  Company's  policy  and
  consistent  with the  Executive's  position  and salary,  in all plans and all
  Perquisites applicable generally to other executives of the Company Unit.

  5.       Termination Payments.  If the Company terminates or Constructively
  Terminates the Executive's employment at any time during the Employment Period
  for any reason other than Cause or Total Disability, the Company shall 
  promptly pay or cause to be paid to the Executive in a lump sum an amount 
  equal to:

  a.        Twice  the  Executive's  annual  salary  before  deductions  and
            deferrals at the level thereof as of the day prior to the Triggering
            Event,  plus the bonus that would have been payable to the Executive
            (for the year in which such termination or Constructive  Termination
            occurs) under the GATX Management  Incentive Plan (the "MIP")) as in
            effect on the day prior to the Triggering Event,  equal in amount to
            the  product  of (i) the  Executive's  annual  salary  as in  effect
            immediately  prior to the Triggering  Event and (ii) the Executive's
            Target Bonus (as that term is defined in the MIP); minus

  b.       Any amounts paid to the Executive in accordance with the Company's
           severance pay policies.

  In addition to the amount set forth above, the Company shall:

  (1)       Permit the Executive to continue the Executive's  participation  (or
            provide equivalent coverage) in the Company Unit's medical,  dental,
            disability and life insurance programs provided under GATX's benefit
            plans as in effect on the day prior to the  Triggering  Event  until
            the earlier to occur of (a) the second anniversary of the date as of
            which the  Executive's  employment is  terminated or  Constructively
            Terminated or (b) the date on which the Executive  becomes  eligible
            for  coverage  under  any other  employee  benefit  plans  providing
            substantially   equivalent  benefits  at  substantially   equivalent
            levels;

  (2)      Reimburse  the  Executive  (to a  maximum  of five  thousand  dollars
           ($5,000) per year) for financial  and estate  planning and tax return
           preparation  for  the  two  (2)  years   immediately   following  the
           Executive's termination or Constructive  Termination of employment in
           accordance with GATX's executive financial planning program in effect
           on the day prior to a Triggering Event;

  (3)      Reimburse  the  Executive  (to a maximum of thirty  thousand  dollars
           ($30,000))  for the  cost  of  outplacement  services  plus up to one
           thousand  dollars  ($1,000)  of  expenses   incurred  in  seeking  or
           obtaining new employment.

  6.       Retirement Benefits.  In addition to the foregoing, if the Executive 
  survives for two (2) years following such termination or Constructive 
  Termination of employment:

  a.       The Company shall pay or cause to be paid to the Executive (or in the
           event of the  Executive's  death following the expiration of such two
           (2) year period to the  Executive's  surviving  spouse) a  Retirement
           Income  Benefit  (as  hereinafter  defined)  calculated  and  paid as
           follows:

  (1)       The  Retirement  Income  Benefit  shall  be an  amount  equal to the
            difference,  if any,  between (a) the monthly  benefit the Executive
            (or,  in  the  event  of  the  Executive's  death,  the  Executive's
            surviving  spouse) would have received as a monthly  pension benefit
            under  the  GATX  Corporation   Non-Contributory  Pension  Plan  for
            Salaried   Employees,   (the  "Salaried   Pension  Plan")  the  GATX
            Corporation  Excess Benefit Plan, the GATX Corporation  Supplemental
            Benefit Plan and any other written  agreement  between the Executive
            and the Company  regarding  the  Executive's  retirement,  all as in
            effect  on the day  prior to the  Triggering  Event,  (  hereinafter
            collectively,   the  "Pension   Plan")   assuming  the   Executive's
            employment  had  terminated  two (2)  years  after  the  date of the
            Executive's  termination or Constructive  Termination of employment,
            and accordingly  the Executive had accumulated two additional  years
            of service credit under the Pension Plan at a level of  compensation
            calculated in accordance with the immediately following sentence and
            (b) the  amount,  if any,  the  Executive  (or,  in the event of the
            Executive's  death,  the  Executive's   surviving  spouse)  actually
            receives as a monthly  benefit under the Pension Plan.  For purposes
            of subparagraph (a) of this paragraph,  the Executive's compensation
            for each of the two additional years of assumed service credit shall
            be equal to the level of the  Executive's  compensation as in effect
            immediately  prior to the Triggering  Event, plus an amount equal to
            the  average of the Covered  Bonuses (as defined in Section  2.13 of
            the Salaried Pension Plan) paid to the Executive during the five (5)
            calendar year period immediately preceding the Triggering Event.


  (2)       Payment of the  Retirement  Income Benefit shall be made in the same
            manner, simultaneously with and in the same form as payments are, or
            would  have  been,  made to the  Executive  (or in the  event of the
            Executive's  death to the  Executive's  surviving  spouse) under the
            Pension  Plan,  but  shall  commence  no  sooner  than two (2) years
            following the Executives' termination or Constructive Termination of
            employment.  Any election  available to and validly  executed by the
            Executive  under the Pension  Plan as to either an optional  form of
            payment or as to the date on which  benefits are to commence,  shall
            be

<PAGE>
                                                -6-


           applicable to the Retirement  Income Benefit and shall be utilized in
           calculating the amount of the Retirement Income Benefit.

  b.        The Company shall permit the Executive to  participate  in (or shall
            provide  equivalent  coverage)  on the  same  basis  as  other  GATX
            employees who have terminated their employment at approximately  the
            same age and  after a  substantially  equivalent  number of years of
            service  in  the  GATX   Corporation   Medical  Plan  and  the  GATX
            Corporation  Life Insurance Plan, both as in effect on the day prior
            to the  Triggering  Event.  Such benefits  shall be paid at the same
            time,  under the same  conditions  and to the same  extent as if the
            Executive's  employment  had  continued  for two (2) years after the
            termination  or   Constructive   Termination   of  the   Executive's
            employment.

  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive would otherwise be entitled to
  receive a Retirement Income Benefit hereunder but dies prior to the expiration
  of a two (2) year period following termination or Constructive  Termination of
  the  Executive's  employment  and leaves a surviving  spouse,  such  surviving
  spouse shall be entitled to receive such payments and  Perquisites as would be
  applicable to such surviving spouse under this Agreement, the Pension Plan and
  all other GATX employee  benefit plans and policies in effect on the day prior
  to the Triggering  Event,  calculated and payable in the same manner as if the
  Executive had been employed by the Company on the Executive's date of death.

  7. Payment in Lieu. Except with respect to (a) compensation  applicable to the
  Executive's  employment  prior to the termination or Constructive  Termination
  thereof,  (b) amounts  payable under the  severance pay policies  described in
  paragraph 5(b) above, and (c) such compensation as may be payable or rights as
  may be  exercisable  on  termination  of  employment  under the GATX  Salaried
  Employees  Retirement  Savings Plan, the Executive  Deferred Income Plans, the
  Management  Incentive  Plan,  the GATX  Corporation  1985 Long Term  Incentive
  Compensation Plan or other similar programs, all as in effect on the day prior
  to the  Triggering  Event,  the amounts  payable to the  Executive  under this
  Agreement shall be in lieu of any other amount payable to the Executive by the
  Company by reason of the Executive's  termination or Constructive  Termination
  of employment.

  8.       Confidentiality.  During and after the Executive's employment, the 
  Executive will not divulge or appropriate to the Executive's own use or to the
  use of others any secret or confidential information or knowledge pertaining  
  to the business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates  
 obtained by the Executive during such employment.

                                        -7-


  9.  Nonalienation.  The interests of the Executive under the Agreement are not
  subject to the claims of the Executive's creditors and may not otherwise be
  voluntarily or involuntarily assigned, alienated or encumbered.

  10. Tax Penalties. The Company will provide complete tax and compensation data
  on a timely basis to the Executive and to an accounting firm designated by the
  Executive to enable the  Executive to determine  the extent,  if any, to which
  the Executive's  compensation  under this Agreement and all other compensation
  agreements,  plans and  programs  of the  Company  may be  considered  to be a
  parachute  payment  or excess  parachute  payment  under  section  280G of the
  Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  In the event that any
  such  compensation is deemed to constitute an excess parachute payment that is
  subject  to tax  under  Section  4999 of the Code or any  successor  provision
  thereto  (the  "Excise  Tax"),  the  Company  shall  pay to the  Executive  an
  additional  amount (the "Gross-Up  Amount") that, after payment of all Federal
  and state  income  taxes  thereof  (assuming  the  Executive is at the highest
  marginal federal and applicable state income tax rate in effect on the date of
  payment of the Gross-Up  Amount) and payment of the Excise Tax on the Gross-Up
  Amount,  is equal to the Excise Tax  payable by the  Executive  on such excess
  parachute  payment.  The Gross-Up  Amount  payable with respect to each excess
  parachute payment shall be paid by the Company coincident with payment of such
  excess parachute payment.

  11. No Cumulation or Duplication of Benefits.  The  obligations of the Company
  to make  payments  or provide  benefits  hereunder  are the joint and  several
  obligations  of the Company and the Company Units.  Accordingly,  if following
  the termination or Constructive  Termination of the Executive's employment the
  Executive  receives  any form of  compensation  payments or benefits  from the
  Company or any Company Unit or from a successor thereto or affiliate  thereof,
  the amount of any such  compensation or payment  together with the fair market
  value of any  such  benefits  shall be  deducted  from any  obligation  of the
  Company or applicable Company Unit to make payments or provide benefits to the
  Executive under or by reason of this Agreement.

  12. Reduction of Payments.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
  contrary, any amounts payable hereunder shall be reduced by such amount as may
  be necessary to make this agreement not unlawful under federal law.

  13. Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended by written agreement of the
  parties without the consent of any other person and no person, other than the 
  parties hereto, shall have any rights under or interest in this Agreement or  
  the subject matter hereof.

  14. Extension.  The Board of Directors of GATX may, at any time prior to the 
  expiration or termination of this Agreement, extend the term of this Agreement
  for a


<PAGE>

                                      -8-


  period  of up to two (2)  years  from  the  date on  which  the  extension  is
  approved, without any further action on the part of the Executive.

  15. Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit
  of, the heirs,  executors and legal  representatives  of the Executive and the
  successors and assigns of the Company and upon any person  acquiring,  whether
  by  merger,   consolidation,   purchase  of  assets  or   otherwise,   all  or
  substantially  all of the assets and business of any Company Unit. The Company
  agrees  that it will  not  effect  the  sale or  other  disposition  of all or
  substantially  all of its  assets  unless  either  (a) the  person  or  entity
  acquiring  the assets or a substantial  portion of the assets shall  expressly
  assume by an instrument in writing all duties and  obligations  of the Company
  under  this   Agreement  or  (b)  the  Company  shall   provide   through  the
  establishment  of a separate  reserve  for the  payment in full of all amounts
  that are or may be  reasonably  expected  to become  payable to the  Executive
  under this Agreement.

  16.  Nonwaiver.  The waiver by either party of a breach of this Agreement 
  shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.

  17.  Resolution  of  Disputes.  Any  controversy  or claim  arising  out of or
  relating to this Agreement or the alleged breach thereof,  shall be settled by
  arbitration  in the City of Chicago,  Illinois in accordance  with the laws of
  the State of Illinois b  arbitrators,  one of whom shall be  appointed  by the
  Company or any  successor  thereto,  one by the Executive and the third by the
  other two. If the other two  arbitrators  cannot agree on the appointment of a
  third  arbitrator,  or if either  party  fails  within  thirty (30) days after
  receipt of written demand to appoint an arbitrator, then such arbitrator shall
  be appointed by the Dean of the Business  School of the  University of Chicago
  or his delegate.  The  arbitration  shall be conducted in accordance  with the
  rules of the  American  Arbitration  Association,  except with  respect to the
  selection of  arbitrators,  which shall be as provided in this  paragraph  17.
  Judgment  upon the award  rendered  by the  arbitrators  may be entered in any
  court having jurisdiction  thereof. In the event that it shall be necessary or
  desirable for the  Executive to retain legal counsel  and/or incur other costs
  and expenses in connection  with the  enforcement of any and all of his rights
  under this  Agreement,  the  Executive  shall be entitled to recover  from the
  Company  reasonable  attorney's  fees and costs and  expenses  incurred by the
  Executive in connection with the enforcement of said rights. Payments shall be
  made to the  Executive  by the Company at the time these  attorney's  fees and
  costs and expenses are incurred by the Executive. If, however, the arbitrators
  should  later  determine  that under the  circumstances  it was unjust for the
  Company to have made any of these  payments of  attorney's  fees and costs and
  expenses to the Executive,  the Executive shall repay any such payments to the
  Company  in  accordance  with the order of the  arbitrators.  Any award of the
  arbitrators  shall include  interest at a rate or rates  considered just under
  the circumstances by the arbitrators.

  18.  Termination of Agreement.  This agreement shall terminate on December 31,
  1997,  provided,  however,  if prior to such date,  but after January 1, 1996,
  there shall  occur  either (a) a Change of Control or (b) a  Disposition  of a
  Company Unit by which the Executive is primarily  employed on the day prior to
  such  Disposition,  this  agreement  shall  remain in  effect  until two years
  following  the  date of the  first  to  occur of such  Change  of  Control  or
  Disposition.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  the agreement shall terminate in
  the event that (under circumstances not constituting Constructive Termination)
  during the Employment  Period the Executive ceases to be an officer of GATX or
  the President (or Chairman of the Board) of a wholly-owned subsidiary of GATX.

  Termination  of this  Agreement  shall not affect  any rights  that shall have
  accrued to the Executive under this Agreement prior to the termination date.


  IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the  Executive  has hereunto set his hand,  and GATX has
caused  these  presents to be  executed  in its name and on its behalf,  and its
corporate seal to be hereunto affixed and attested by its Assistant Secretary.

Mr. David B. Anderson
845 Moseley Road
Highland Park, IL 60035

Dear David:

It's a real  pleasure  to  confirm  our offer to join GATX  Corporation  as Vice
President,  Corporate  Development,  General  Counsel  and  Secretary.  In  this
position  you will report to James J.  Glasser,  Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer. The key elements of our offer are:

1.       Your salary  will be $275,000  per year.  Your  performance  and  base
         salary  will  be  reviewed  twelve  months  from  your  starting  date.
         Thereafter it will be reviewed at the normal interval for your position
         which currently is eighteen  months.  Any proposed salary revision will
         be reviewed and approved by the Compensation  Committee of the Board of
         Directors.

2.       Your  annual  incentive  bonus  target is 50% of base  salary.  We will
         guarantee a minimum bonus of 50% of full year base salary, or $137,500,
         for 1995.  If corporate  financial  performance  is greater than budget
         your bonus for 1995 may be greater than 50% of a full year base salary.

3.       We will ask the Board of  Directors  to  approve  20,000  non-qualified
         stock option  shares for you in 1995 - 10,000 to be granted at the July
         28, 1995 Board meeting and 10,000 to be granted at the October 27, 1995
         meeting.

         In  subsequent  years it is  expected  that you will be granted  10,000
         stock option shares, or their then program equivalent number, per year.
         Currently,  50% of options  granted vest after one year, 25 % after two
         years and the final 25 % after three years.

4.       You  will  be  eligible  in  1996  to  participate  in  the  Individual
         Performance Unit plan which currently applies to corporate officers and
         subsidiary Presidents. This is a three year program and payouts through
         the plan are  currently  determined  by corporate  return on equity.  A
         sample copy of the plan is attached.

5.       In order to  compensate  you for the loss of  benefits  resulting  from
         terminating  your current  employment we will provide a hiring bonus of
         $175,000.

6.       In the event of your death or company initiated termination for reasons
         other than cause prior to  attaining  five years of service,  GATX will
         provide  to you or your  spouse a  payment  approximately  equal to the
         benefit you or your spouse  would have been  eligible to receive  under
         the  terms  of the GATX  Non-Contributory  Pension  Plan  for  Salaried
         Employees  had  you  attained  five  years  of  service  prior  to such
         aforementioned events occurring. This provision will terminate when you
         achieve five years of service.

7.       Although your employment will be at will and terminable by either party
         at any time we agree  that if during a five year  period  beginning  at
         your date of hire neither  James G. Glasser nor Ronald H. Zech is Chief
         Executive Officer should you be terminated for reasons other than cause
         we will provide a  termination  payment equal to one year's base salary
         and target bonus.

8.       You will be covered by our Change of Control Agreement, a sample copy 
         of which is attached.

9.       You will be eligible to participate in our benefit programs,  including
         medical,  dental and life insurance,  pension plan and employee savings
         (401K) plan. Summaries of these programs are attached.

10.      You will have use of a company leased automobile.  A portion of the 
         value of the use of the automobile will be imputed income to you.

11.      GATX will reimburse you for dues and expenses for a downtown luncheon 
         club and for country club dues and expenses which are business related.

12.      You will be eligible to receive financial planning assistance not to 
         exceed $5,000 in value each year.

13.      You will be eligible for four weeks vacation per year.

                                             Report of GATX Management




To Our Shareholders:

The management of GATX  Corporation has prepared the  accompanying  consolidated
financial statements and related information included in this 1995 Annual Report
to  Shareholders  and has the primary  responsibility  for the integrity of this
information.  The financial  statements  have been  prepared in conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles and necessarily include certain amounts
which are based on estimates and informed judgments of management.

The  financial  statements  have  been  audited  by  the  company's  independent
auditors,  whose report thereon  appears on this page.  Their role is to form an
independent  opinion as to the fairness with which such  statements  present the
financial position of the company and the results of its operations.

GATX  maintains a system of internal  accounting  controls  which is designed to
provide reasonable  assurance as to the reliability of its financial records and
the protection of its shareholders'  assets. The concept of reasonable assurance
is based on the recognition that the cost of a system of internal control should
not exceed the  related  benefits.  Management  believes  the  company's  system
provides this appropriate balance in all material respects.

GATX's system of internal  controls is further  augmented by an audit  committee
composed of directors  who are not  officers or  employees of GATX,  which meets
regularly throughout the year with management,  the independent auditors and the
internal  auditors;  an internal audit program that includes prompt,  responsive
action by management; and the annual audit of the company's financial statements
by independent auditors.

                        Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors




To the Shareholders and
Board of Directors of
GATX Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of GATX Corporation
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of
consolidated income and reinvested earnings and consolidated cash flows for each
of the three  years in the period  ended  December  31,  1995.  These  financial
statements   are  the   responsibility   of  the   company's   management.   Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects,  the consolidated  financial position of GATX Corporation
and  subsidiaries  as of December  31,  1995 and 1994,  and the results of their
operations  and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                          Management Discussion and Analysis
                                 1995 Compared to 1994

GATX  reported  record net income of $101  million or $4.30 per common share for
the year ended  December  31,  1995  compared to $91 million or $3.88 per common
share for 1994. On a fully diluted basis, earnings per share were $4.13 compared
to $3.78 in the prior  year.  This  improvement  was  principally  due to record
earnings at  Transportation,  Financial  Services  and  American  Steamship  and
improved  earnings at Logistics.  Terminals' net income decreased  slightly from
1994's record level.  GATX's return on common equity for 1995 was 16.7% compared
to 17.0% in 1994. The comparative  performance for 1994 versus 1993 is discussed
in the prior year's management discussion on pages 66 and 67 of this report.

RAILCAR  LEASING AND  MANAGEMENT  Transportation's  gross income of $361 million
increased  $39  million  from 1994.  Rental  revenues  increased  12% due to the
increase in the number of railcars on lease, higher average rental rates and new
operations in Mexico. At the end of 1995,  Transportation had 61,400 railcars on
lease in the United States versus 56,500 a year ago.  Domestic fleet utilization
of 95% at the end of the year was slightly higher than the prior year due to the
continued high demand for tank cars. Over 6,200 new and used railcars were added
to the domestic  fleet in 1995,  which is 1,400 more than were added in 1994. In
addition,  1,200 cars were leased in from the Mexican National  Railroad.  Fleet
additions in 1996 are expected to be at lower levels than the exceptionally high
level of railcars added in 1995.

Net  income  of $63  million  increased  14% over  1994  reflecting  the  higher
revenues,  the increase in income  generated  from invested  funds due to higher
interest  rates,  and higher  equity  earnings  from  Transportation's  Canadian
affiliate.  Operating  margins  improved  slightly  as the  growth  in  revenues
exceeded  the  increase  in fleet  repair  costs and SG&A  expense.  Pressure on
operating  margins is expected to continue as higher standards of repair without
compensating revenue increases characterize the industry today. Ownership costs,
consisting of lease rental  expense,  depreciation  and interest,  increased 21%
from last year due to the  increased  fleet size,  investments  in GATX  service
centers, and the new operations in Mexico.

Fleet repair costs  increased  11% as a result of the  increased  fleet size and
number  of  cars  repaired,   primarily  at  Transportation's  service  centers.
Transportation's  commitment  to  provide  its  customers  with well  maintained
railcars,  coupled  with  stricter  maintenance  standards  in the  industry and
mandated inspection programs, will continue to increase repair costs. During the
year,  Transportation  completed the major upgrade program for its four domestic
service  centers.  This three year  project  was  designed  to control  costs by
improving the efficiency and productivity of the repair process and reducing the
time a car is out of  service.  The  number  of cars  repaired  at GATX  service
centers increased 15% from last year.  Average  throughput days for a railcar in
the repair shop has been reduced by almost 30% as a result of this  project,  to
approximately  32 days at year end. SG&A  increased 18% primarily as a result of
increased  employee  costs,  new  operations  in Mexico,  and  higher  legal and
consulting expenses.

TERMINALS AND  PIPELINES  Terminals'  gross income of $313 million  increased 3%
over 1994  reflecting  incremental  revenues from  newly-acquired  terminals and
strong  petroleum  activity  in the first  half of 1995,  especially  in the Los
Angeles market. However,  revenues in the latter part of the year were less than
in 1994 as a result of lower worldwide  petroleum storage demand,  significantly
lower  utilization  of tanks in the Northeast due to reduced  buildup of heating
oil inventories, and lower demand and price competition in Los Angeles. Revenues
from chemical markets remained strong. Revenues at the two pipelines serving the
Las Vegas and Orlando markets  continue to increase as demand for clean products
remains strong. The non-strategic Wyco pipeline was sold early in 1995. Capacity
utilization  at Terminals'  wholly-owned  facilities  was 85% at the end of 1995
compared to 94% a year earlier,  reflecting  the effects of lower  industry-wide
petroleum  inventory  levels and tanks out of service for repairs and  upgrades.
Throughput  was 655 million  barrels  compared  to 671 million  barrels the year
before.  Incremental throughput from newly-acquired  terminals was offset by the
absence of throughput at Wyco. Lower overall  throughput  reflected mild weather
in early 1995,  lower  blending  activity,  refinery  turnarounds,  tanks out of
service, and a contract termination with a large customer.
                               -33-
<PAGE>

Terminals'  net income of $31 million  decreased  $1 million  from 1994.  Higher
revenues,  slightly  improved  operating  margins and  increased  earnings  from
foreign affiliates were offset by higher SG&A and interest  expenses.  Operating
costs in 1995 approximated 1994 levels.  Interest expense grew 17% as additional
debt was incurred to finance acquisitions as well as maintenance, regulatory and
environmental  expenditures.  Environmental and maintenance spending continue to
grow in keeping with GATX's  commitment  to improve  terminalling  assets and to
operate its facilities in an environmentally  responsible  manner. SG&A expenses
increased 19% due to improvements in information systems,  additional personnel,
training,  and moving and relocation costs.  Overall,  the continuing  long-term
focus on improving physical assets, information systems and people may constrain
near-term earnings.  Equity in net earnings of affiliates of $15 million grew $3
million over 1994 due to strong  chemical  demand in Europe and Singapore.  Also
contributing  to the increase in equity  earnings  were results from the Olympic
Pipeline  Company in which a 25% interest  was acquired in the third  quarter of
1995.

Terminals' business  environment at year end was characterized by continuing low
distillate storage demand, historically low petroleum industry inventory levels,
lower  pricing due to  increased  competition  and low  refinery  margins.  This
environment  is expected to continue into 1996.  Terminals  plans to selectively
acquire and construct facilities both domestically and overseas.

FINANCIAL  SERVICES  Financial  Services' gross income of $218 million increased
$11  million  from  1994.  The  increase  was  principally  due to higher  asset
remarketing  income,  largely from the  remarketing  of rail equipment from both
owned and managed portfolios which generated increased disposition gains and fee
income.  Fee income  increased  $9 million.  Pretax  disposition  gains were $33
million  compared to $21 million in 1994. These gains do not occur evenly period
to period.  Lease income decreased $4 million due to the return of four aircraft
at lease  termination  in early 1995 and the sale of an interest in two aircraft
which were on lease;  these were  partially  offset by revenues  generated  as a
result of the  acquisition  in November of Sun Financial,  a technology  focused
finance  company,  and the impact of overall  increased  lease volume.  Interest
income  decreased  $4 million  primarily  as the result of  prepayment  premiums
received in 1994.

Net income of $33 million  increased $8 million  from 1994 due to the  increased
revenues and higher joint venture income, partially offset by increased interest
and SG&A  expenses.  Equity  earnings  increased  $6  million  primarily  due to
improved earnings at an international aircraft joint venture, higher income from
rail and technology  joint  ventures,  and a gain from the sale of a real estate
investment.  Interest expense exceeded 1994 by $6 million due to the increase in
average debt balances between years and higher interest rates. SG&A increased $4
million  primarily due to higher employee costs,  legal expenses and incremental
costs from Sun  Financial.  The  provision  for  possible  losses of $18 million
decreased  $1  million  from 1994.  The loss  reserve at the end of 1995 was $92
million,  or 6.5% of net  investments.  During the year,  the carrying  value of
certain older  widebody  aircraft was reduced to reflect  current market values.
Aircraft demand has  strengthened as the oversupply of aircraft has been reduced
and the recovery of the airline industry continues.

Growth at  Financial  Services is expected to continue as a result of the recent
acquisition   of  Sun  Financial  and  a  sustained   high  level  of  portfolio
investments.

GREAT LAKES SHIPPING  American  Steamship  Company's gross income of $83 million
increased $1 million over 1994 as higher per ton rates were partially  offset by
fewer tons  transported.  Tonnage carried in 1995 was 25.5 million tons compared
to 26.3 million tons in 1994.  Customer demand  remained  strong  throughout the
1995 season.  Favorable weather conditions  contributed to an early start to the
navigation season in the spring of 1995 but were offset by substantially  colder
temperatures and early ice formation in late 1995.

Net  income of $7  million  increased  25% from  1994 as a result of the  higher
revenue,  increased  income on invested  funds,  and an  increased  contribution
margin due to efficient  vessel  operations and cost controls.  Contribution per
ton was 7% greater than the prior year as operating expenses were reduced due to
lower  insurance and vessel  repair costs.  Also,  ASC's  training  programs for
vessel  personnel and  preventive  maintenance  programs  contributed to reduced
costs. These savings were partially offset by additional  operational  expenses,
principally  tugs,  incurred  late  in  the  year  due to  the  adverse  weather
conditions. ASC continues to focus on managing existing capacity and controlling
costs.

The  environment on the Great Lakes remains  competitive  with supply and demand
for vessel capacity in balance. Overall, ASC transported an estimated 23% of the
total U.S. flag Great Lakes tonnage in 1995,  down slightly from 1994. U.S. flag
tonnage  increased to 105 million tons in 1995,  an increase of 3 million  tons.
Iron ore cargoes  continued  to be in demand  even  though raw steel  production
decreased to 89% of capacity  late in the year  compared to 93% a year  earlier.
Lake Erie coal loadings were among the lowest on record,  but limestone  tonnage
increased.

LOGISTICS AND WAREHOUSING GATX Logistics' gross income of $259 million increased
$15 million over 1994 as a result of new customers, higher volumes from existing
customers and some rate  increases.  Total  warehousing  square  footage of 24.4
million  square feet increased 5% over 1994.  Space  utilization at year end was
97% compared to 92% at the end of 1994.  The  reduction in empty space is due to
new business, the closing of one warehouse, and the subleasing of space in three
warehouses.

Net  income in 1995 of $.5  million  was $1 million  higher  than in 1994 due to
improved  margins and lower  amortized  costs,  partially  offset by higher SG&A
costs related to increased employee costs. Margins improved due to new business,
price increases, volume levels and reduced empty space cost.

Revenues and margins are expected to continue to grow as Logistics  continues to
replace low margin public business with more profitable  contract  business.  In
addition,  there is a continued emphasis on key customer relationships to expand
business with existing customers. However, this strategy is evolutionary and may
take several years to significantly improve earnings.

CORPORATE  AND OTHER  Corporate  and Other net  expense  of $33  million  was $8

FINANCIAL DATA OF BUSINESS SEGMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


GATX  provides  services  to a variety of capital  goods  markets  through  five
principal business segments.  The financial data which are presented on this and
the following three pages depict the profitability, financial position, and cash
flow of each of GATX's business segments.

The presentation of segment profitability  includes the direct costs incurred at
the segment's  operating  level plus expenses  allocated by the parent  company.
Allocated  expenses  represent costs which these  operations would have incurred
otherwise,  but do not include general  corporate expense or interest on debt of
the parent  company.  Interest costs  associated with segment  indebtedness  are
included in the  determination  of  profitability of each segment since interest
expense  directly  influences  any  investment  decision and the  evaluation  of
subsequent operational  performance.  Interest expense by segment has been shown
separately  on page 39 to enable the reader to ascertain  segment  profitability
before deducting interest expense.

The financial position data below present the identifiable asset base of each of
GATX's business  segments and the degree to which such assets have been financed
with external  sources of capital.  GATX  utilizes  additional  assets,  such as
railcars, aircraft and warehouses,  which are financed through off-balance sheet
operating  leases  and  therefore  are  not  included  in  identifiable  assets;
similarly, the corresponding financings are not included in long-term debt.

FINANCIAL DATA OF BUSINESS SEGMENTS (CONTINUED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Major  components of GATX's cash flow are shown in the  following  tabular data.
GATX's cash flow from operations and portfolio proceeds has been strong over the
five-year  period as a result of the  long-lived  asset  base on which  GATX has
built its service-oriented businesses. Portfolio proceeds represent the proceeds
from   dispositions   and  the  return  of  principal  on  Financial   Services'
investments.  Net cash provided by operating  activities  includes net income as
adjusted for non-cash  items which  principally  consists of the  provisions for
depreciation  and  amortization,  for deferred  income  taxes,  and for possible
losses.

                      MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF INCOME
                                   1995 COMPARED TO 1994

Gross Income of $1.2 billion exceeded 1994 by $78 million, or 7%, as a result of
a larger active  railcar  fleet,  incremental  revenues  from recently  acquired
terminals, and increased logistics revenue. Further, portfolio disposition gains
increased $12 million over 1994.

Operating  Expenses of $613  million  increased  $33  million.  Transportation's
operating  expenses  increased  $19 million  over 1994 as a result of  increased
operating  lease  expense and  increased  fleet repair costs due to the expanded
fleet size.  Transportation  continues to utilize sale leasebacks to finance the
majority of its railcar  additions.  The  leaseback  is recorded as an operating
lease which removes the asset and related  liability from the balance sheet; the
payments  under the  operating  lease are recorded as operating  lease  expense.
Logistics'  expenses  were  $10  million  over  last  year  due to the  costs of
servicing new customers.

Interest  Expense  increased  $22  million  from the prior year as the result of
higher  average  debt  balances  to fund the growth of the  business  and higher
interest rates.  This increase in interest rates had a minimal effect on results
as assets are either  match  funded or offer  repricing  opportunities  as lease
contracts are renewed.

The  company  continues  to  utilize  interest  rate  swaps to better  match the
duration of the debt  portfolio to the terms of the railcar  leases and floating
rate assets.  The effect of the swaps was to reduce interest expense in 1995 and
1994.

Depreciation and Amortization  Expense  increased $6 million from 1994 primarily
due to Transportation's increased fleet size and updated service centers.

The Provision for Possible Losses of $18 million,  which is largely attributable
to Financial  Services,  was slightly less than the prior year's provision based
on the current estimate of reserve needs.

Selling,  General and  Administrative  Expenses were $18 million  higher than in
1994 due to increased employee costs,  information systems costs, and consulting
expenses.  In addition,  expenses increased related to new railcar operations in
Mexico and the newly-acquired Sun Financial.

Income Tax Expense of $48 million  decreased $1 million from 1994. The effective
tax  rate for both  years  was 41%.  The  effective  tax rate  exceeded  the 35%
statutory rate because of state taxes,  foreign  income,  minority  interest and
nondeductible items.

Equity in Net  Earnings of  Affiliated  Companies  of $31 million  increased  $9
million from 1994. Equity earnings at Financial Services exceeded the prior year
by $6 million due to a gain from the sale of a real estate investment,  improved
earnings at an  international  aircraft joint venture and higher income from the
rail and  technology  asset joint  ventures.  Equity  earnings also increased at
Terminals'  European  and  Singapore  terminals  and  Transportation's  Canadian
railcar joint  venture.  Terminals'  newly-acquired  25% interest in the Olympic
Pipeline Company also contributed to the increase.

Consolidated  Net  Income  of $101  million  increased  $9  million  from  1994.
Consolidated  results  represent the second  consecutive year of record earnings
for GATX Corporation.  This was the result of record earnings at Transportation,
Financial  Services and American  Steamship and modest improvement at Logistics,
partially offset by decreases at Terminals and Corporate.

                       MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF BALANCE SHEETS
                                     1995 COMPARED TO 1994

Total Assets of $4.0 billion increased $392 million as the high level of capital
additions,  portfolio investments and investments in affiliates more than offset
the  depreciation of capitalized  assets and the normal runoff of the portfolio.
GATX also utilizes additional assets, such as railcars, aircraft and warehouses,
which are obtained through  off-balance sheet operating leases and therefore are
not included on the balance sheet.

Total  Receivables  increased  $152  million  from the  prior  year  end.  Trade
receivables  increased $14 million  primarily as a result of the higher level of
revenues.  Finance  leases  increased  $140 million as lease  additions  and the
consolidation of  newly-acquired  Sun Financial's  leases exceeded the runoff of
the  portfolio.  The  allowance for possible  losses  increased $10 million as a
result of an $18 million  addition to the loss reserve at Financial  Services in
1995,  which was partially offset by $8 million of writedowns net of recoveries.
The allowance for losses remained largely unchanged at the other subsidiaries.

Property,  Plant and Equipment increased $177 million primarily due to increased
investment  in railcar and terminal  assets and  increased  operating  lease and
other investments at Financial Services. Transportation invested $350 million in
new and used railcars,  $17 million in new operations in Mexico, and $15 million
in facility  improvements,  which were  partially  offset by the $250 million of
railcar sale leasebacks.  As these leasebacks qualified as operating leases, the
assets were removed from the balance sheet.  Terminals invested $129 million for
tank construction,  facility improvements and expansion,  and the acquisition of
terminal facilities.

Investments in Affiliated  Companies  increased $43 million.  New investments of
$50 million  included an additional  investment in a European rail joint venture
and the  purchase  of a 25% equity  interest in the  Olympic  Pipeline  Company.
Equity income of $31 million was more than offset by cash distributions received
of $38 million, primarily from air and rail joint ventures.

Accounts Payable decreased $36 million.  The 1994 payable balance included a $48
million  deposit  which was  refunded  in early 1995 as the result of a lessee's
exercise of its option to return four DC-10 aircraft.

Total Debt increased $349 million to fund a portion of the significant volume of
capital  additions and portfolio  investments made during the year. In addition,
the  consolidation  of Sun  Financial  added $144 million of debt to the balance
sheet.

Consolidated  Equity  increased  $55  million,  reflecting  net  income  of $101
million,  partially  offset by the  declaration  of $45  million  of common  and
preferred  stock  dividends.   The  cumulative   foreign  currency   translation
adjustment  decreased $7 million as a result of the  strengthening of the dollar
against  most major  currencies.  The balance of the change is  attributable  to
proceeds from stock option exercises.

                 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF CASH FLOWS
                              1995 COMPARED TO 1994

GATX generates  significant cash from its operating activities and proceeds from
its investment portfolio which are used to service debt, to pay dividends and to
fund  capital  additions  and  portfolio   investments.   Most  of  the  capital
requirements  represent  additions to the railcar  fleet,  terminal and pipeline
facilities,  capital equipment investment portfolio, and joint ventures, and are
considered discretionary capital expenditures. As a result, the level of capital
spending  can be adjusted  as  conditions  in the  economy or GATX's  businesses
warrant.

Cash  Provided by Operating  Activities  generated  $205 million of cash flow in
1995, a $60 million  decrease from 1994.  Net income  adjusted for noncash items
generated  $274 million of cash, an increase of $10 million over 1994  primarily
due to increased net income.  Changes in working capital and other generated $70
million  less cash in 1995  largely due to a $48 million  refund of a deposit in
the first quarter of 1995 as the result of a lessee's  exercise of its option to
return four DC-10 aircraft.

Cash Used in  Investing  Activities  decreased  $30 million from the prior year.
Capital additions  totaled $938 million,  an increase of $209 million from 1994.
Transportation   invested  $365  million  in  its  domestic  railcar  fleet  and
facilities  versus  $282  million in 1994;  $28  million  also was  invested  in
international operations in Mexico and Europe this year versus $3 million in the
prior year.  During the year,  Transportation  completed a major upgrade program
for its four strategically located domestic service centers.  Terminals' capital
spending of $149 million was $6 million  lower than in 1994 when six  additional
terminal  facilities  were acquired.  Spending in 1995 included the expansion or
upgrading of several existing terminal facilities, including the expansion of an
existing  pipeline in Central  Florida,  and the acquisition of an interest in a
pipeline in the Northwest.  Portfolio  investments at Financial Services of $388
million were $109 million higher than in 1994  primarily due to higher  spending
on the  air  and  rail  portfolios  and  the  acquisition  of Sun  Financial,  a
technology-focused  finance company.  Logistics' spending of $6 million was down
$2 million from a year ago.

Proceeds of $282  million were  generated  from the  portfolio  compared to $212
million in 1994.  Proceeds from the disposition of leased  equipment,  primarily
aircraft and rail assets, increased $74 million from the previous year. Proceeds
from the return of investment decreased $4 million from 1994.

Proceeds from other asset  dispositions  of $319 million  increased $170 million
from 1994 due to increased sale leaseback  activity.  In 1995,  General American
Transportation  Corporation  (GATC) completed $250 million of sale leasebacks of
railcars at  Transportation.  Financial  Services generated $47 million from the
sale leaseback of an aircraft  which was acquired  during the year. In 1994, net
proceeds of $130 million were received from the sale leaseback of railcars. GATX
has used sale  leasebacks as a cost effective  method of financing  assets given
GATX's alternative minimum tax position.

Cash Provided by Financing  Activities  increased $36 million  compared to 1994.
GATX  finances its capital  additions  and  portfolio  investments  through cash
generated from operations and portfolio proceeds supplemented by debt financings
and sale  leasebacks.  During the year $400 million of long-term debt was issued
and $220 million of long-term obligations were repaid.
Short-term debt increased by $13 million.

Cash  dividends  increased  $2 million in 1995 due to an  increase in the common
stock dividend from $1.50 per share in 1994 to $1.60 per share in 1995. This was
the tenth consecutive year GATX increased its dividend. The dividend was further
increased to $1.72 in January 1996.

Liquidity and Capital  Resources  GATC,  GATX Capital,  GATX  Terminals and GATX
Logistics  have  revolving  credit  facilities.  GATC and GATX Capital also have
commercial  paper programs and uncommitted  money market lines which are used to
fund operating  needs. In 1995, GATC amended its credit facility to extend until
2000 while GATX Capital's amended three-year revolver now expires in 1998. Under
the covenants of the  commercial  paper  programs and rating agency  guidelines,
GATC and GATX Capital  individually  must keep unused revolver capacity at least
equal to the amount of commercial paper and money market lines  outstanding.  At
December 31, 1995,  GATX and its  subsidiaries  had available  unused  committed
lines of credit amounting to $376 million.

In December 1995, a $650 million GATC shelf  registration for pass through trust
certificates and debt securities became effective;  none had been issued at year
end. In January  1996,  a shelf  registration  for $300 million for GATX Capital
became  effective.  At year end, GATX has $496 million of commitments to provide
financing to customers or to acquire assets,  $317 million of which is scheduled
to fund in 1996.

                             -45-

At December 31, 1995,  approximately  $629 million of net assets of subsidiaries
have  certain  restrictions  which limit the ability to transfer  assets to GATX
parent  in the  form of  loans,  advances  or  dividends.  The  majority  of the
restricted net assets relate to the revolving  credit  agreement of GATC and the
various loan  agreements of GATX Capital and GATX Logistics.  Such  restrictions
are not  expected  to have an adverse  impact on the ability of GATX to meet its
cash obligations.

Environmental  Matters Certain operations of GATX's  subsidiaries  (collectively
GATX)   present   potential   environmental   risks   principally   through  the
transportation or storage of various commodities.  Recognizing that some risk to
the environment is intrinsic to its operations,  GATX is committed to protecting
the  environment as well as complying with applicable  environmental  protection
laws and regulations.  GATX, as well as its competitors, is subject to extensive
regulation  under  federal,  state and local  environmental  laws which have the
effect of increasing the costs and  liabilities  associated  with the conduct of
its  operations.   In  addition,   GATX's  foreign  operations  are  subject  to
environmental laws in effect in each respective jurisdiction.

GATX's  policy is to monitor and actively  address  environmental  concerns in a
responsible  manner.  GATX has  received  notices  from  the U.S.  Environmental
Protection  Agency (EPA) that it is a  potentially  responsible  party (PRP) for
study and  clean-up  costs at 11 sites  under the  requirements  of the  Federal
Comprehensive  Environmental  Response,  Compensation  and Liability Act of 1980
(Superfund).  Under Superfund and comparable state laws, GATX may be required to
share in the cost to clean-up various  contaminated  sites identified by the EPA
and  other  agencies.  In all  but one  instance,  GATX  is one of a  number  of
financially  responsible  PRPs and has been  identified as  contributing  only a
small  percentage  of the  contamination  at each of the  sites.  Due to various
factors such as the required level of remediation and  participation in clean-up
efforts  by  others,  GATX's  total  clean-up  costs at these  sites  cannot  be
predicted with  certainty;  however,  GATX's best estimates for  remediation and
restoration  of  these  sites  have  been  determined  and are  included  in its
environmental reserves.

Future costs of environmental compliance are indeterminable due to unknowns such
as the  magnitude  of  possible  contamination,  the  timing  and  extent of the
corrective  actions that may be required,  the  determination  of the  company's
liability in proportion to other  responsible  parties,  and the extent to which
such costs are recoverable from third parties including insurers. Also, GATX may
incur  additional  costs relating to facilities and sites where past  operations
followed  practices and procedures that were  considered  acceptable at the time
but in the future  may  require  investigation  and/or  remedial  work to ensure
adequate  protection to the environment  under current or future  standards.  If
future laws and regulations  contain more stringent  requirements than presently
anticipated,  expenditures  may be higher  than the  estimates,  forecasts,  and
assessments of potential  environmental  costs provided  below.  However,  these
costs are expected to be at least equal to the current level of expenditures. In
addition,  GATX has provided  indemnities for environmental issues to the buyers
of three divested companies for which GATX believes it has adequate reserves.

GATX's  environmental  reserve at the end of 1995 was $94 million  and  reflects
GATX's best  estimate of the cost to  remediate  its  environmental  conditions.
Additions to the reserve were $14 million in 1995 and $27 million in 1994;  1994
included  $13  million  recorded  in  conjunction  with  terminal  acquisitions.
Expenditures  charged to the reserve  amounted to $16 million and $12 million in
1995 and 1994, respectively.

In 1995,  GATX made capital  expenditures of $18 million for  environmental  and
regulatory  compliance  compared to $15 million in 1994. These projects included
marine vapor recovery,  discharge  prevention  compliance,  waste water systems,
impervious  dikes,  tank  modifications  for  emissions  control,  and  tank car
cleaning  systems.   Environmental   projects   authorized  or  currently  under
consideration would require capital expenditures of approximately $28 million in
1996. GATX anticipates it will make annual  expenditures at a similar level over
the next five years.

GATX Corporation and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Financial data of business segments for 1995, 1994, and 1993 on pages 36 through
39 are an  integral  part  of the  consolidated  financial  statements  of  GATX
Corporation and subsidiaries.

NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Significant  accounting  policies of GATX and its consolidated  subsidiaries are
discussed below.

Consolidation - The consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of
GATX and its majority-owned subsidiaries.  Investments in 20 to 50 percent-owned
companies  and joint  ventures are accounted for under the equity method and are
shown  as  investments  in  affiliated  companies.  Less  than 20  percent-owned
affiliated companies are recorded using the cost method.

Cash Equivalents - GATX considers all highly liquid  investments with a maturity
of three  months or less when  purchased  to be cash  equivalents.  The carrying
amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents  approximate
the fair value of those assets.

Property,  Plant and  Equipment  -  Property,  plant and  equipment  are  stated
principally  at cost.  Assets  acquired  under  capital  leases are  included in
property,  plant and  equipment  and the  related  obligations  are  recorded as
liabilities. Provisions for depreciation include the amortization of the cost of
capital  leases and are computed by the  straight-line  method which  results in
equal annual depreciation charges over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
The estimated useful lives of depreciable assets are as follows:

        Railcars                                   20-33 years
        Buildings, leasehold improvements,
         storage tanks, and pipelines               5-40 years
        Great Lakes vessels                        30-40 years
        Machinery and related equipment             3-25 years
        Operating lease investments                 3-38 years

Goodwill  - GATX has  classified  the cost in  excess  of the fair  value of net
assets  acquired as goodwill.  Goodwill,  which is included in other assets,  is
being amortized on a straight-line  basis over 10 to 40 years.  GATX continually
evaluates  the  existence  of  goodwill  impairment  on the basis of whether the
goodwill  is  recoverable  from  projected  undiscounted  net cash  flows of the
related business. Goodwill, net of accumulated amortization of $25.3 million and
$21.3 million, was $136.0 million and $133.8 million as of December 31, 1995 and
1994,  respectively.  Amortization  expense  was $4.2  million  in 1995 and $4.1
million in 1994 and 1993.

Income  Taxes -  United  States  income  taxes  have not  been  provided  on the
undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and affiliates which GATX intends
to permanently  reinvest in these foreign  operations.  The cumulative amount of
such earnings was $156.0 million at December 31, 1995.

GATX  participates  in a Capital  Construction  Fund  agreement  with the United
States Maritime Administration.  Contributions to the Fund reduce taxable income
and the tax basis of the related vessels.  Deferred taxes are not required to be
provided for such contributions and, consequently,  income taxes in future years
will increase if not offset by additional  deposits.  Based on current statutory
rates, such income tax liability would be $3.5 million at December 31, 1995.

Other   Deferred   Items  -  Other   deferred  items  include  the  accrual  for
postretirement  benefits other than pensions;  environmental,  general liability
and workers' compensation reserves; and other deferred credits.

                                -47-
<PAGE>

 
Off-Balance  Sheet Financial  Instruments - GATX uses interest rate and currency
swaps,  forwards and similar  contracts  to set  interest and exchange  rates on
existing  or  anticipated  transactions.  These  instruments  qualify  for hedge
accounting.  Fair  values  of GATX's  off-balance  sheet  financial  instruments
(futures,  swaps,  forwards,  options,  guarantees,  and  lending  and  purchase
commitments)  are based on  current  market  prices,  settlement  values or fees
currently charged to enter into similar agreements. The fair values of the hedge
contracts are not  recognized in the financial  statements.  Net amounts paid or
received on such  contracts are  recognized  over the term of the contract as an
adjustment to interest expense or the basis of the hedged financial instrument.

Environmental  Liabilities  -  Expenditures  that  relate to  current  or future
operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate.  Expenditures that relate
to an existing condition caused by past operations,  and which do not contribute
to current or future revenue generation,  are charged to environmental reserves.
Reserves are recorded in accordance with accounting  guidelines to cover work at
identified  sites when  GATX's  liability  for  environmental  clean-up  is both
probable and a minimum estimate of associated costs can be made;  adjustments to
initial estimates are recorded as necessary.

Revenue  Recognition  - The  majority of GATX's gross income is derived from the
rentals of railcars, commercial aircraft, Great Lakes vessels, and terminalling,
warehousing and logistics services. In addition,  income is derived from finance
leases, asset remarketing, secured loans and other services.

Foreign  Currency  Translation - The assets and  liabilities of GATX  operations
located  outside the United States are translated at exchange rates in effect at
year end, and income statements are translated at the average exchange rates for
the year.  Gains or losses  resulting from the  translation of foreign  currency
financial  statements  are  deferred  and  recorded as a separate  component  of
consolidated  shareholders'  equity.  Incremental  unrealized  translation gains
(losses)  recorded in the cumulative  foreign currency  adjustment  account were
$(6.9) million,  $18.3 million, and $(5.4) million,  during 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

Use of Estimates - The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles necessarily requires management to make
estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets and
liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial  statements as well as revenues and expenses  during the reporting
period.  Actual  amounts  when  ultimately  realized  could  differ  from  those
estimates.

Earnings  Per Share -  Primary  earnings  per  share  are based on the  weighted
average number of common shares and common share  equivalents  outstanding.  Net
income  is  adjusted  for  the  preferred  stock  dividends.  The  common  share
equivalents  represent  the dilutive  shares  issuable upon exercise of employee
stock  options.  Fully  diluted  earnings  per share  are based on the  weighted
average  number of common shares  outstanding,  including  shares  issuable upon
exercise of employee  stock  options,  and assume all  preferred  stock has been
converted  into  common  shares  if  the  effect  of  such   conversion  is  not
antidilutive.

Reclassifications  - Certain  amounts in the 1994 and 1993 financial  statements
have been reclassified to conform to the 1995 presentation.

The following information pertains to GATX as a lessor:

GATX  manages  its  assets  and  liabilities  using  interest  rate swaps and on
occasion  uses interest rate  forwards for  anticipated  transactions.  At GATC,
interest  rate  swaps are  utilized  to better  match the  duration  of its debt
portfolio to the  duration of its railcar  leases.  Railcar  assets are financed
with long-term fixed rate debt or through sale leasebacks.  However, the railcar
assets are placed on lease with average new lease terms of 5 years;  the average
renewal term is 3 years.  Rents are fixed over these lease terms.  Interest rate
swaps  effectively  convert GATC's  long-term fixed rate debt to fixed rate debt
with maturities of 3 months to 3 years. Through the swap program,  railcar lease
rates are expected to better reflect GATC's interest  costs.  Also, GATX Capital
uses  interest  rate swaps in addition to  commercial  paper and  floating  rate
medium-term  notes to match fund its floating rate lease and loan portfolio with
floating rate borrowings.  At GATX Terminals  Limited,  an interest rate swap is
used to fix the interest rate on a portion of its floating rate debt.

In its swaps,  GATX agrees to exchange,  at specific  intervals,  the difference
between fixed and floating rate  interest  amounts  calculated on an agreed upon
notional  principal amount. The swaps have in effect converted $239.5 million of
long-term  fixed  rate  debt  into  floating  rate debt and  $805.5  million  of
long-term fixed rate debt into 1-3 year fixed rate debt.

The net amount payable or receivable  from the interest rate swap  agreements is
accrued as an  adjustment  to interest  expense.  The fair value of its interest
rate swap  agreements  is an estimate of the amount the company would receive or
pay to terminate the swap  agreement;  at December 31, 1995,  GATX would receive
$28.2  million if the swaps were  terminated.  At December 31, 1994,  GATX would
have paid $55.7 million if the swaps were terminated at that time.

In  conjunction  with the  financing  of the  purchase of an interest in a joint
venture, GATX Terminals has a forward contract to deliver 10.0 million Singapore
dollars in exchange for $7.1 million. The gain or loss from the final settlement
will be used to offset  any gain or loss  from the  underlying  transaction.  In
addition,  currency  swaps  were  entered  into at GATX  Capital  to lock in the
conversion rate for 42.3 million  Canadian dollars on the eventual cash flows on
a Canadian dollar denominated investment.

In the event that a  counterparty  fails to meet the terms of the interest  rate
swap agreement or a foreign exchange contract, GATX's exposure is limited to the
interest  rate  or  currency  differential.  GATX  manages  the  credit  risk of
counterparties  by dealing  only with  institutions  that the company  considers
financially  sound  and  by  avoiding  concentrations  of  risk  with  a  single
counterparty. GATX considers the risk of nonperformance to be remote.

The carrying  amounts shown in the table are included in the balance sheet under
the indicated captions.

The following  methods and  assumptions  were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables and short-term debt
are carried at cost which  approximates fair value because of the short maturity
of those instruments.

Secured loan  investments are stated at the principal  amount  outstanding  plus
accrued interest.  The loans are  collateralized  by equipment,  golf courses or
real  estate.  The fair value of  variable  rate loans is assumed to be equal to
their recorded  amounts.  The fair value of fixed rate loans is estimated  using
discounted  cash flow analyses,  at interest rates  currently  offered for loans
with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

The carrying  amounts of variable  rate  long-term  debt reported in the balance
sheet  approximate  fair value.  The fair value of fixed rate long-term debt was
estimated by performing a discounted cash flow  calculation  using the note term
and  market  interest  rate for each note  based on GATX's  current  incremental
borrowing rates for similar borrowing arrangements.

NOTE J - PENSION BENEFITS


GATX  and its  subsidiaries,  exclusive  of  GATX  Logistics,  maintain  several
noncontributory  defined  benefit pension plans (the "pension  plans")  covering
substantially all employees.  Benefits payable under the pension plans are based
on years of service  and/or final  average  salary.  The funding  policy for the
pension plans is based on an actuarially  determined cost method allowable under
Internal Revenue Service regulations.

The net periodic  pension cost for the pension plans was determined based on the
funds'  status at the  beginning of the year.  Significant  assumptions  used in
determining pension cost for 1993 through 1995 were:

                                                    1995-1994          1993

NOTE K - POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS


GATX provides health care, life insurance and other benefits for certain retired
employees who meet established  criteria.  Most domestic  employees are eligible
for  health  care and life  insurance  benefits  if they  retire  from GATX with
immediate  pension  benefits  under the GATX pension plan.  The plans are either
contributory or non-contributory, depending on various factors.

Net periodic  postretirement  benefit cost included the following components (in

The accrued  postretirement  benefit  liability was determined  using an assumed
discount rate of 7.75% for 1995 and 1994.

For  measurement  purposes,  blended rates ranging from 9% decreasing to 5% over
the next two years and  remaining  at that  level  thereafter  were used for the
increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits. The health care
cost  trend  rate  assumption  has a  significant  effect  on the  amount of the
obligation  and periodic cost  reported.  An increase in the assumed health care
cost trend rates by 1% would  increase the  accumulated  postretirement  benefit
obligation  by $4.1 million and would  increase  aggregate  service and interest
cost components of net periodic  postretirement  benefit cost by $.6 million per
year.

NOTE N - INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLANS


The 1995 Plan

The GATX Corporation 1995 Long Term Incentive  Compensation Plan (the 1995 Plan)
contains provisions for the granting of non-qualified  stock options,  incentive
stock  options,   stock  appreciation  rights  (SARs),  cash  and  common  stock
individual performance units (IPUs),  restricted stock rights, restricted common
stock and performance  awards.  An aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of common stock
may be issued under the 1995 Plan. As of December 31, 1995, 1,365,392 shares are
available for issuance under the 1995 Plan.

Non-qualified  stock options and incentive  stock options may be granted for the
purchase of common  stock for periods not longer than ten years from the date of
grant.  The  exercise  price will be not less than the higher of market value at
date of grant or par value of the common stock.  All options become  exercisable
commencing on a date no earlier than one year from the date of grant.

SARs can be issued in conjunction with  non-qualified or incentive stock options
and entitle the holder to receive the  difference  between the option  price and
fair market value of the common  stock at time of exercise,  either in shares of
common stock, cash, or a combination of the two at GATX's  discretion.  Exercise
of SARs results in cancellation of the underlying options.  During 1995, no SARs
were issued and none were outstanding.

IPUs may be granted to key employees and, if predetermined performance goals are
met,  will be  redeemed  in cash  and  common  stock,  as  applicable,  with the
redemption value determined in part by the fair market value of the common stock
as of the date of redemption and in part by the extent to which  pre-established
performance goals have been achieved. A total of 10,316 IPUs were granted during
1995 and 31,627 IPUs in total were  outstanding at the end of the year. In 1995,
no shares of common stock or cash were paid to the participants in redemption of
previously issued IPUs.

Restricted  stock  rights  may be  granted to key  employees  entitling  them to
receive a specified number of shares of restricted  common stock. The recipients
of restricted common stock are entitled to all dividends and voting rights,  but
the  shares  are not  transferable  prior to the  expiration  of a  "restriction
period" as determined at the  discretion  of the  Compensation  Committee of the
Board of  Directors.  Performance  Awards are granted to employees who have been
granted restricted stock rights or restricted common stock, but these Awards may
not exceed the market value of the  restricted  common  stock when  restrictions
lapse.  The  Performance  Awards  provide cash payments if certain  criteria and
earnings goals are met over a  predetermined  period.  During 1995, no grants or
payments were made.

The 1985 Plan

Stock  options  are  outstanding  under  the GATX  Corporation  1985  Long  Term
Incentive  Compensation  Plan (the 1985  Plan),  as amended,  but no  additional
options, stock or awards may be issued thereunder. At December 31, 1995, 176,412
shares of common stock were reserved for grants  previously  made under the 1985
Plan.

NOTE O - COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT
RISK

GATX's  revenues  are derived  from a wide range of  industries  and  companies.
However, approximately 50% of total consolidated revenues are generated from the
transportation or storage of products for the chemical and petroleum industries.
In addition,  approximately 15% of GATX's assets consist of commercial  aircraft
operated by various domestic and international airlines.

Under its lease  agreements,  GATX retains  legal  ownership of the asset except
where such assets have been financed by sale  leasebacks.  With loan financings,
the loan is  collateralized by the equipment.  GATX performs credit  evaluations
prior  to   approval   of  a  lease   or  loan   contract.   Subsequently,   the
creditworthiness  of the customer and the value of the  collateral are monitored
on an ongoing basis.  GATX maintains an allowance for possible  losses and other
reserves to provide for  potential  losses  which could arise  should  customers
become  unable  to  discharge  their  obligations  to GATX  and to  provide  for
permanent declines in investment value.

At December 31, 1995, GATX had commitments of $325 million to acquire additional
portfolio  equipment,  to lend funds, or to purchase residuals from lessors. The
commitments include orders and options by aircraft joint ventures for eleven new
aircraft to be  purchased in  1997-1999.  In  addition,  GATX has issued  $147.9
million of residual and rental  guarantees.  GATX also has firm  commitments  to
acquire  railcars and to upgrade  terminal and repair  facilities  totaling $171
million.

GATX and its  subsidiaries are engaged in various matters of litigation and have
a number of unresolved claims pending,  including proceedings under governmental
laws and regulations related to environmental matters. While the amounts claimed
are substantial  and the ultimate  liability with respect to such litigation and
claims cannot be  determined at this time, it is the opinion of management  that
such  liability,  to be paid by GATX,  is not  likely to be  material  to GATX's
consolidated financial position or results of operations.

ended December 31, 1994 and 1993. This information should be read in conjunction
with  the  consolidated  financial  statements  on  pages  40,  42 and  44.  The
discussion of the comparative  results of GATX's  operations for the years ended
December  31,  1995 and  1994 is  presented  in the  management  discussion  and
analysis  on pages 33, 34, 35,  41,  43, 45 and 46,  and the  financial  data of
business segments on pages 36 through 39.

GATX reported record net income of $91 million or $3.88 per common share for the
year ended  December 31, 1994  compared to $73 million or $2.99 per common share
for 1993. The improvement was the result of strong  operating  results at GATX's
three principal subsidiaries.  Also, net income for 1993 was negatively impacted
by a charge of $7 million or $.37 per common share  recorded for the  cumulative
increase in  deferred  income  taxes as a result of the federal  income tax rate
increase. GATX's return on common equity was 17.0% for 1994 compared to 14.6% in
1993.

Operating results at Transportation  improved due to significantly more railcars
on  lease.  Terminals  reported  record  earnings  as the  result  of  increased
utilization and throughput.  Net income at Financial  Services  increased as new
volume and a reduced loss  provision more than offset lower  disposition  gains.
American  Steamship's net income  decreased due to inclusion in 1993 income of a
gain  from  the sale of a  customer  bankruptcy  claim.  Results  were  lower at
Logistics due to continuing margin pressures.

To facilitate  comparison  between years, the segment discussion below addresses
income from operations for 1993 prior to the effect on deferred taxes of the tax
rate change,  but includes the effect of the tax rate increase on 1993 earnings.
The impact of the tax rate change by segment is shown in a table on page 37.

RAILCAR LEASING AND MANAGEMENT -  Transportation's  gross income of $322 million
in  1994  increased  $20  million  from  1993.  Rental  revenues   increased  7%
attributable  to an average of 3,000  additional  railcars on lease and slightly
higher  average fleet rental rates.  The level of fleet  additions  increased in
response  to  improved   demand  for  new  tank  cars.   At  the  end  of  1994,
Transportation  had 56,500  railcars  on lease  compared to 51,900 at the end of
1993 and fleet utilization was 95% compared to 93%.

Income from operations of $55 million  increased 6% over 1993.  Increased rental
income and lower environmental  expense were partially offset by increased fleet
repair costs,  higher ownership costs and lower investment  earnings.  Operating
margins  were in line with 1993.  Fleet  repair  costs  increased  10% over 1993
reflecting  the  increased  number  of  railcars   repaired.   Ownership  costs,
consisting of rental expense,  depreciation and interest, increased 9% primarily
due to the high level of railcar additions.

Transportation invested $264 million in the railcar fleet versus $171 million in
1993;  $18 million also was invested in a  multi-year  program to  significantly
upgrade its repair facilities versus $24 million in 1993.

TERMINALS AND PIPELINES - Terminals' record gross income of $303 million in 1994
was the result of strong  performance  at a number of  individual  terminal  and
pipeline operations. The increase of $22 million or 8% over 1993 was due to high
petroleum demand and improved chemical activity which resulted in both increased
throughput   and  higher   utilization.   Capacity   utilization  at  Terminals'
wholly-owned facilities was 94% at the end of 1994 compared to 92% at the end of
1993.  Throughput  was 671  million  barrels,  up 6% from 1993,  reflecting  the
overall improvement in the U.S.
economy.

Terminals'  income from  operations of $32 million  improved from $29 million in
1993.  This 11%  increase  resulted  from  higher  revenues,  slightly  improved
operating  margins and increased  earnings by its foreign  affiliates which were
partially offset by higher SG&A expenses. Operating margins increased 1% through
revenue improvement while controlling costs. 

Operating  expenses  increased  mainly  due to  higher  repair  and  maintenance
spending,  higher  environmental  costs and other  costs as a result of expended
operations. Selling, general and administrative costs increased 26% over 1993 as
a result of the expanded  operations and higher training and information systems
costs.  Equity in net earnings of the foreign  affiliates  increased $2 million.
Improved results at certain  terminals and favorable foreign exchange rates were
the primary factors.

Terminals'  capital spending of $154 million increased $77 million from 1993 and
included the  acquisition  of six  additional  facilities  plus the expansion or
upgrading of several existing terminal facilities.

FINANCIAL SERVICES - Financial  Services' gross income of $207 million increased
$3 million from 1993 due to higher lease and interest  income,  partially offset
by lower  disposition  gains.  The $18  million  increase  in lease  income  was
attributable to increased volume and the inclusion of a full year's revenue from
a rail portfolio  acquired in mid-1993.  Interest  income was $7 million greater
than in 1993 primarily due to prepayment premiums on two golf facility loans and
increased  interest on  variable  rate loans.  Pretax  disposition  gains of $21
million  were $23  million  lower  than in 1993 as the prior year  included  $17
million of proceeds from an insurance  settlement  related to marine  equipment.
Gains in 1994 were generated primarily from the sale of rail equipment.

Income from  operations was $25 million in 1994 compared to $23 million in 1993.
The increase in lease income was partially  offset by a $15 million  increase in
operating lease expense resulting from the incremental lease volume,  additional
expenses  related to the acquired rail operating  lease fleet,  and  accelerated
aircraft  depreciation.  In addition, the rail operating lease results continued
to benefit from a strong rail market.  The provision for possible  losses of $19
million for 1994 decreased $10 million from 1993's  provision.  The loss reserve
at the end of 1994 was $82 million,  or 6.4% of total investments.  During 1994,
the  carrying  value of certain  aircraft,  primarily  wide-body  aircraft,  was
written down against the reserve to reflect current market  conditions for those
aircraft. Equity in earnings of affiliated companies increased $1 million due to
improved earnings at an international aircraft joint venture.

Portfolio  additions at Financial Services of $279 million were $23 million less
than the previous year.

GREAT LAKES SHIPPING - American Steamship  Company's gross income of $82 million
increased  $2 million  over  1993,  which  included a pretax  gain of $2 million
generated from the sale of a bankruptcy claim.  Tonnage carried in 1994 was 26.3
million  tons,  an  increase  of 1.9  million  tons over  1993.  Tonnage  demand
increased as the year  progressed in response to high  utilization  rates in the
steel  and  auto  industries.  Poor  weather  conditions  earlier  in  the  year
necessitated  late season  operations  to satisfy  customers'  winter  inventory
requirements.  On a per ton basis,  freight revenue  decreased 4% from the prior
year as a result of  competitive  rate  pressures and a shift in commodity  mix.
Excess  vessel  capacity  on the  Great  Lakes at the  start of the 1994  season
resulted in downward competitive pressure on rates.

Income from operations  decreased $1 million from 1993 primarily  reflecting the
sale of a  bankruptcy  claim.  Contribution  margin  decreased 9% in 1994 as the
lower revenue per ton was partially offset by lower operating expenses per ton.

LOGISTICS  AND  WAREHOUSING  - GATX  Logistics'  gross  income  of $244  million
increased $20 million over 1993 as a result of new customers, higher volume, and
some rate increases.  Total warehousing square footage of 23 million square feet
approximated  1993 space.  Space utilization at year end was 92% compared to 94%
in 1993 although the decrease was primarily in two regions.

Logistics  reported a net loss of $.5 million in 1994  compared to net income of
$.1 million in 1993.  Although revenue increased,  the costs of implementing new
business,   relocating  existing  customers,  and  labor  inefficiencies  offset
contributions from new business, and as a result, operating margins decreased.

Logistics' capital spending of $8 million in 1994 was down $6 million from 1993.

CORPORATE AND OTHER - Corporate and Other net expense of $25 million in 1994 was
$5 million less than the prior year.  Results for 1993 included  legal  expenses
relating to a shareholder suit which were partially offset by a gain on the sale
of an insurance investment.

In 1993, $7 million was expended at Corporate  related to the  relocation of the
Chicago operations to a new office building.

                                GATX CORPORATION

                    1995 LONG TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

I.       GENERAL

         I. Purpose.  The purpose of the 1995 Long Term Incentive  Compensation
Plan (the "Plan") is to promote the long term financial interests of the Company
by (i)  attracting  and retaining  executive  personnel  possessing  outstanding
ability;  (ii) further  motivating such  individuals by means of  growth-related
incentives to achieve long-range goals; (iii) providing  incentive  compensation
opportunities,  in the form of  Incentive  Stock  Options,  Non-Qualified  Stock
Options, Stock Appreciation Rights,  Restricted Stock Rights,  Restricted Common
Stock,  Performance  Awards and Individual  Performance Units (each as described
below) which are competitive  with those of other major  corporations;  and (iv)
furthering  the identity of interests of  participating  employees with those of
the Company's shareholders through opportunities for increased stock ownership.


         2.  Administration.  The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation
Committee  of the Board of  Directors  of the  Company  (the  "Committee").  The
Committee  shall have such powers to administer  the Plan as are delegated to it
by the  Plan or the  Board  of  Directors,  including  full  authority  to:  (i)
interpret the Plan;  (ii)  prescribe,  amend and rescind  rules and  regulations
pertaining to the Plan;  (iii)  determine the terms and provisions of each Stock
Option and Stock  Appreciation  Right,  and  Restricted  Common Stock  agreement
between the Company and a Participant,  and the number of Individual Performance
Units to be granted to a Participant;  (iv) establish Company  performance goals
for purposes of the Plan; and (v) make all other determinations deemed necessary
or advisable  for the  administration  of the Plan.  To the extent  necessary to
conform the Plan, and the awards under the Plan, to Rule 16b-3 of the Securities
and Exchange Commission, no member of the Committee shall be eligible, or within
one year prior to  appointment  to the Committee  shall have been  eligible,  to
participate  in the Plan or in any other plan of the Company or any affiliate of
the Company under which stock, stock options or stock appreciation rights may be
granted.

         3.   Participants.   Except   as   otherwise   specifically   provided,
Participants  in the Plan shall consist of such key employees of the Company and
its subsidiaries as the Committee in its sole discretion may select from time to
time to receive Stock  Options,  Stock  Appreciation  Rights,  Restricted  Stock
Rights,  Restricted Common Stock,  Performance Awards or Individual  Performance
Units. The Committee may delegate to appropriate officers of the Company who are
also directors of the Company  authority to determine  participation in the Plan
by other than officers of the Company,  and the extent of  participation by each
non-officer employee of the Company or any subsidiary.

                                     1

<PAGE>

         4.  Shares.  One million five hundred  thousand  (1,500,000)  shares of
Common Stock, together with any shares of Common Stock authorized under the 1985
Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the "1985 Plan") which are unissued as of
the date of adoption hereof,  and which are not subsequently  issued pursuant to
awards  under  the 1985  Plan  that are  outstanding  on that  date,  with  such
adjustment in such number of shares as may be made pursuant to the last sentence
of this  paragraph  I-4, shall be available for issue upon the exercise of Stock
Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and Restricted Stock Rights granted under the
Plan,  for award in the form of  Restricted  Common Stock and for  redemption of
Individual  Performance Units. Such shares may be authorized and unissued shares
or treasury  shares  (including,  in the discretion of the Board of Directors of
the Company,  shares  purchased in the open market) of Common Stock.  If a Stock
Option  granted under the Plan expires or is terminated  for any reason  without
having been exercised in full for Common Stock  (including those which terminate
by reason of the exercise of a Stock  Appreciation  Right in accordance with the
provisions of Part IV below) or if a Restricted Stock Right,  Restricted  Common
Stock or Individual Performance Unit awarded under the Plan is forfeited for any
reason,  the shares not acquired or forfeited  shares, as the case may be, shall
(unless the Plan shall have  terminated)  again become available for purposes of
the   Plan.   In  the  event  of  a   merger,   consolidation,   reorganization,
recapitalization,  stock  dividend,  stock  split,  spin-off or other  change in
corporate  structure or capitalization  affecting the Common Stock,  appropriate
adjustment shall be made with respect to the number and kind of shares (or other
securities)  optioned or awarded or subject to being  optioned or awarded  under
the Plan and in the sole  discretion of the Board of Directors such  adjustments
in price and other adjustments as it deems equitable may be made.

         5. Amendment.  The Board of Directors of the Company may amend the Plan
from time to time, except that without the approval of the holders of a majority
of the  outstanding  shares  of  Common  Stock  entitled  to vote at a duly held
meeting of the  shareholders,  the number of shares of Common Stock which may be
issued under the Plan may not be increased  except as provided in paragraph I-4.
No amendment of the Plan,  however,  may,  without the consent of a Participant,
make any changes in any outstanding Stock Options,  Stock  Appreciation  Rights,
Restricted  Stock  Rights,   Restricted  Common  Stock,   Performance  Award  or
Individual  Performance  Units  theretofore  granted the Participant which would
adversely affect the Participant's rights under the Plan.

         6. Termination. The Board of Directors of the Company may terminate the
Plan at any time. No Stock Option or Stock  Appreciation  Right shall be granted
and no Restricted Stock Right,  Restricted  Common Stock,  Performance  Award or
Individual  Performance  Unit shall be awarded after the Plan is terminated  for
any reason.  However,  termination  of the Plan shall not affect the validity of
any Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right theretofore  granted under the Plan
or any award of Restricted Stock Rights,  Restricted  Common Stock,  Performance
Award or Individual Performance Units theretofore made under the Plan.

         7. No Employment Right.  Participation in the Plan does not confer
upon any employee any

                                         2

right with respect to continued employment by the Company or any subsidiary,  or
limit in any way the right of the  Company or any  subsidiary  to  terminate  an
employee's  services,  responsibilities,  duties and  authority to represent the
Company or any subsidiary at any time for any reason.

II.      INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS

         1. Grants.  The  Committee  shall  designate the  Participants  to whom
Incentive Stock Options,  as described in the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the  "Code"),  are to be granted  under this Part II and  determine the
number of shares to be  offered to each of them.  Each  Incentive  Stock  Option
shall be evidenced by an agreement between the Participant and the Company.  The
aggregate  fair  market  value of shares of Common  Stock with  respect to which
Incentive  Stock Options are  exercisable  for the first time by any  individual
during any calendar year under this Plan and each other stock option plan of the
Company and any parent or subsidiary thereof shall not exceed $100,000.  Subject
to any  adjustment  made under the last sentence of paragraph I-4, the aggregate
number of Incentive Stock Options and Non-Qualified Stock Options granted to any
Participant  during any calendar  year,  regardless  of when first  exercisable,
shall not exceed seventy-five  thousand (75,000).  For all purposes of the Plan,
the term "fair market value" of a share of Common Stock means the average of the
highest and lowest prices at which a share of Common Stock is traded on the date
as of which the  determination  is being  made as  quoted on the New York  Stock
Exchange Composite  Transactions or other principal market quotation selected by
the Committee or, if Common Stock is not traded on that date, the average of the
highest  and  lowest  prices on the next  preceding  day on which  such stock is
traded.

         2. Price.  The purchase price of each  Incentive  Stock Option shall be
determined by the Committee;  provided,  however, that in no instance shall such
price be less than one hundred  percent of the fair  market  value of a share of
Common Stock on the date the option is granted (the "Option Date") or par value,
whichever is higher.  The full purchase  price of each share  purchased upon the
exercise of any Incentive Stock Option shall be paid in cash or shares of Common
Stock,  or both, at the time of such exercise (or by such other method as may be
satisfactory  to the  Committee)  and,  as soon  as  practicable  thereafter,  a
certificate  representing  the shares so  purchased  shall be  delivered  to the
person  entitled  thereto.  A  Participant  shall  not  have  any  rights  of  a
shareholder  with  respect  to the shares of Common  Stock  subject to an option
granted the  Participant  until such shares are  purchased  upon exercise of the
option.

         3. Exercise.  Subject to the following provisions of this paragraph and
the  following  provisions of paragraph  II-4,  unless  sooner  terminated,  all
Incentive  Stock  Options  granted  to a  Participant  on an Option  Date may be
exercised  commencing on a date no earlier than one year from the Option Date as
determined by the Committee.  The Committee may, in its  discretion,  accelerate
the date on which all, or any portion, of the Incentive Stock Options granted to
a Participant may be exercised.

         4. Termination.  Each Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant 
shall  terminate on the earlier of the tenth  anniversary of the Option Date or,
subject to the provisions of the following sentence, three months after the date
the Participant's employment by the Company and

                                      3

<PAGE>

its  subsidiaries  is  terminated  for any reason.  That portion of an Incentive
Stock  Option  which is  exercisable  as of the  date on  which a  Participant's
employment is terminated by reason of his death,  disability  (as  determined by
the Committee) or retirement under a Company or subsidiary retirement plan shall
terminate on the earlier of the tenth anniversary of the Option Date on which it
was granted or one year after the date of termination of employment by reason of
death or disability  (as  determined  by the  Committee) or five years after the
date of retirement, as the case may be.

         5. Transferability.  An Incentive Stock Option, by its terms, may not 
be  transferred  by a Participant  other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution and during the lifetime of a Participant  shall be exercisable only
by the Participant.

III. NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS

         1. Grants.  The  Committee  shall  designate the  Participants  to whom
Non-Qualified  Stock Options are to be granted under this Part III and determine
the  number of shares to be offered to each of them.  Each  Non-Qualified  Stock
Option  shall be  evidenced  by an  agreement  between the  Participant  and the
Company.  Subject to any  adjustment  made under the last  sentence of paragraph
I-4, the aggregate  number of  Non-Qualified  Stock Options and Incentive  Stock
Options  granted to any  Participant  during any calendar  year shall not exceed
seventy-five thousand (75,000).

         2. Price. The purchase price of each  Non-Qualified  Stock Option shall
be determined by the  Committee;  provided,  however,  that in no instance shall
such price be less than one hundred  percent of the fair market value of a share
of Common  Stock of the Company on the date the option is granted  (the  "Option
Date") or par value,  whichever is higher. The full purchase price of each share
purchased upon the exercise of any  Non-Qualified  Stock Option shall be paid in
cash or shares of Common  Stock,  or both,  at the time of such  exercise (or by
such other  method as may be  satisfactory  to the  Committee)  and,  as soon as
practicable thereafter, a certificate representing the shares so purchased shall
be delivered to the person entitled  thereto.  A Participant  shall not have any
rights of a  shareholder  with  respect  to the  shares  of Common  Stock of the
Company  subject to an option  granted  the  Participant  until such  shares are
purchased upon exercise of the option.

         3.  Exercise.  Subject  to the  provisions  of this  paragraph  and the
provisions of paragraph III-4, unless sooner terminated, all Non-Qualified Stock
Options  granted to a Participant on an Option Date may be exercised  commencing
on a date no earlier  than one year from the Option  Date as  determined  by the
Committee.  The Committee may, in its  discretion,  accelerate the date on which
all, or any portion, of the Non-Qualified Stock Options granted to a participant
may be exercised.

         4. Termination.  Each Non-Qualified Stock Option granted to a 
Participant  shall  terminate  on the  earlier of the tenth  anniversary  of the
Option Date or, subject to the provisions of the
                                         4

<PAGE>

following sentence,  three months after the date the Participant's employment by
the Company and its subsidiaries is terminated for any reason. That portion of a
Non-Qualified  Stock  Option  which  is  exercisable  as of the  date on which a
Participant's  employment is terminated  by reason of the  Participant's  death,
disability  (as  determined by the  Committee) or retirement  under a Company or
subsidiary  retirement  plan  shall  terminate  on  the  earlier  of  the  tenth
anniversary  of the  Option  Date on which it was  granted or one year after the
date of  termination  by reason of death or  disability  (as  determined  by the
Committee) or five years after the Participant's retirement, as the case may be.

         5. Transferability.  A Non-Qualified Stock Option granted to a 
Participant may not be transferred by the Participant  other than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution and during the lifetime of a Participant  shall
be exercisable only by the Participant.

IV.      STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

         1. Grantees.  The Committee  shall  designate the  Participants to whom
Stock Appreciation Rights are to be granted under this Part IV and determine the
number to be granted to each of them.  Each Stock  Appreciation  Right  shall be
evidenced  by an  agreement  between  the  Participant  and  the  Company.  If a
Participant  to whom a Stock  Appreciation  Right has been granted is subject to
Sections 16(a) and 16(b) of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, the Committee
may, at any time, impose such conditions and limitations to the exercise of such
Stock  Appreciation Right as the Committee deems necessary or desirable in order
to comply with the  requirements  of Sections  16(a) and 16(b) and the rules and
regulations issued thereunder, or to obtain exemption therefrom.

         2. Grants.  Stock  Appreciation  Rights may be granted in tandem with a
related  Stock  Option,  in which  event the  Participant  may elect to exercise
either the Stock  Appreciation Right or the Stock Option but not both, as to any
of the same shares subject to the Stock Option and the Stock Appreciation Right.
A Stock Appreciation Right granted to a Participant may be granted on the Option
Date of such  option or in the case of  Non-Qualified  Stock  Options as of that
Option Date or at any time thereafter.

         3. Exercise.  Subject to the following provisions of this paragraph and
the  provisions  of  paragraph  IV-5,  unless  sooner   terminated,   all  Stock
Appreciation  Rights granted to a Participant  may be exercised  commencing on a
date no earlier  than the later of six (6) months  from the date of grant or one
year from the Option Date as determined  by the  Committee;  provided,  however,
that a Stock  Appreciation  Right may be exercised  only to the extent a related
Stock Option is surrendered.  The Committee may, in its  discretion,  accelerate
the date on which all, or any portion,  of the Stock Appreciation Rights granted
to a  Participant  may be exercised to the date to which a related  Stock Option
has been  accelerated in accordance with the provisions of either paragraph II-3
or III-3.
         4. Payment.  A Participant to whom a Stock Appreciation Right has been
granted may elect, during any period that such Stock Appreciation Right is 
exercisable and subject to such

                                      5

<PAGE>

limitations  as the Committee  may have imposed,  to receive from the Company in
exchange therefor an amount (net of applicable employee withholding taxes) equal
to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the fair market value of a share of
Common  Stock on the date of the  exchange  over the option price of the related
Stock  Option  and (ii) the  number of shares of  Common  Stock  covered  by the
related Stock Option, or portion thereof, surrendered.  Payment of the Company's
obligations  arising out of the  exchange of a Stock  Appreciation  Right may be
made in cash, Common Stock (valued at its fair market value at date of exchange)
or partly in each, as the Committee shall decide.

         5.  Termination.   Subject  to  the  following  sentence,   each  Stock
Appreciation  Right shall  terminate on the earlier of the tenth  anniversary of
the Option Date or, subject to the provisions of the following  sentence,  three
months  after  the date the  Participant's  employment  by the  Company  and its
subsidiaries is terminated for any reason. Any Stock Appreciation Right which is
exercisable as of the date on which a Participant's  employment is terminated by
reason of the Participant's  death,  disability (as determined by the Committee)
or retirement  under a Company or subsidiary  retirement plan shall terminate on
the earlier of the tenth  anniversary of the Option Date on which it was granted
or one year after the date of  termination  by reason of death or disability (as
determined by the Committee) or five years after the  Participant's  retirement,
as the case may be.

         6. Transferability.  A Stock Appreciation Right granted to a 
Participant may not be transferred by the Participant other than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution and during the lifetime of a Participant shall 
be exercisable only by the Participant.

V.       RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS

         1. Grants. Grants of Restricted Common Stock or Restricted Stock Rights
may be made from time to time to such  officers and key employees of the Company
and its  subsidiaries as may be selected by the Committee.  On each Common Stock
dividend payment date, each  Participant  shall be credited with an amount equal
to the dividend paid on that date on a share of Common Stock,  multiplied by the
Participant's  number of shares of Restricted  Common Stock or Restricted  Stock
Rights that have not been terminated in accordance with the following provisions
of this Part V. Such amounts together with interest thereon shall be paid to the
Participant at such time or times as the Committee shall decide.

         2. Awards.  Such grant of Restricted  Common Stock or Restricted  Stock
Rights shall be contingent upon the Participant's continuing employment with the
Company or its  subsidiaries  for a period to be specified by the Committee (the
"Performance  Period")  and  shall  be  subject  to such  additional  terms  and
conditions as the Committee in its sole discretion deems appropriate, including,
but not by way of limitation,  restrictions on the sale or other  disposition of
such shares during the  Performance  Period or for a period of time  thereafter.
The length of Performance Periods may vary among Participants.
         At the  end of  such  period  of  employment  by the  Company  and  its
subsidiaries  as shall be  determined  by the  Committee  (but not less than six
months and not extending beyond the last day

                                        6

<PAGE>

of the Performance  Period), the Restricted Stock Right granted to a Participant
shall be  automatically  exchanged for a number of shares of  Restricted  Common
Stock equal to the number of Restricted Stock Rights exchanged.

         Each stock certificate issued in respect of shares of Restricted Common
Stock shall be registered in the name of the  Participant and deposited with the
Company.

         Subject to the foregoing restrictions,  and unless and until the shares
are forfeited,  a Participant shall have all of the rights of a holder of Common
Stock  with  respect  to the  shares of  Restricted  Common  Stock  awarded  the
Participant in accordance with the provisions of this Part V; provided, however,
that as provided in paragraph 1 of this Part V, any dividends paid on a share of
such stock,  together  with interest  thereon,  shall be accrued and paid to the
Participant at such time or times as the Committee shall decide.

         3.  Distribution.  The shares of  Restricted  Common Stock awarded to a
Participant  with respect to a Performance  Period shall be  distributed  to the
Participant,  free of all restrictions, in such number (usually three) of equal,
or substantially equal, annual installments,  measured from the last day of that
Performance Period, as the Committee shall determine.

         4.  Forfeitures.  Except as  provided  below,  or  except as  otherwise
determined by the Committee, if a Participant's  employment with the Company and
its subsidiaries is terminated for any reason, the Participant shall forfeit all
Restricted Stock Rights,  any  undistributed  Restricted Common Stock previously
awarded  to  the  Participant  with  respect  to  any  Performance  Period,  any
undistributed  dividends  accrued  for the  Participant  and  any  undistributed
dividend  equivalents  credited to the  Participant,  together with any interest
accrued  thereon.  If a  Participant's  employment  with  the  Company  and  its
subsidiaries  is terminated by reason of a Participant's  death,  disability (as
determined  by the  Committee)  or  retirement  under a  Company  or  subsidiary
retirement  plan, the Participant or, in the event of the  Participant's  death,
the  person or  persons  entitled  thereto  by will or the laws of  descent  and
distribution, shall be entitled to receive, free of restrictions, a distribution
of the  undistributed  shares of  Restricted  Common Stock,  if any,  previously
awarded  to the  Participant,  all  Performance  Awards  under Part VI for which
Performance  Goals  have  been met and,  together  with  interest  thereon,  any
undistributed  dividends  accrued  for the  Participant  and  any  undistributed
dividend equivalents credited to the Participant.

VI.      PERFORMANCE AWARDS

         1. Awards.  Any Participant designated by the Committee to participate 
in Part V of the Plan may be designated as a Participant under this Part VI.


         2. Performance Goal.  For each Performance Period the Committee may 
establish Performance Goals.  In establishing any Performance Goal the Committee
may use such measures of the performance of the Company over the Performance 
Period as the Committee deems

                                       7

<PAGE>

appropriate. Performance Goals may vary among Participants. For each Performance
Period, the Committee shall also establish appropriate criteria to determine the
basis upon which a  Performance  Award shall be made under the Plan with respect
to that period.

         3. Payment and Amount.  If the criteria for payment  established by the
Committee  relating to a Performance Goal established for any Performance Period
is met, a Participant receiving an installment distribution of Restricted Common
Stock in  accordance  with the  provisions of paragraph V-3 with respect to that
Performance  Period,  who has also been  designated as a Participant  under this
Part VI, shall also be paid a Performance  Award at the time the distribution is
made to the Participant.  The amount of a Participant's  Performance Award shall
not in any event  exceed the  aggregate  fair  market  value of the  installment
distribution of shares of Restricted Common Stock.

         4.  Forfeiture.  Except as  provided  below,  and  except as  otherwise
determined by the Committee, if a Participant's  employment with the Company and
its  subsidiaries  is  terminated  for any  reason  prior to the  payment of any
portion of a  Performance  Award,  the  Participant  shall forfeit all rights to
receive  any  portion  of  the  Performance   Award  remaining  unpaid  at  such
termination. If a Participant's employment with the Company and its subsidiaries
is terminated by reason of the Participant's death, disability (as determined by
the Committee) or retirement under a Company or subsidiary  retirement plan, the
Participant or, in the event of the  Participant's  death, the person or persons
entitled  thereto  by will or the laws of  descent  and  distribution,  shall be
entitled to receive,  free of  restrictions,  a distribution  of all Performance
Awards under Part VI for which Performance Goals have been met.


VII.     INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE UNITS

         1. Grant. For each Performance  Period, the Committee may, from time to
time,  grant  Individual  Performance  Units  to such  officers  and  other  key
employees of the Company and its  subsidiaries  as it may select.  The number of
Individual  Performance Units granted will be determined by dividing a specified
percentage (as determined by the Committee and not exceeding one hundred percent
(100%))  of the  Participant's  base  salary  by the  fair  market  value of the
Company's  Common  Stock on the date of grant.  On each  Common  Stock  dividend
payment date, each Individual  Performance Unit (including additional Individual
Performance  Units  previously  credited to it) shall be  increased by an amount
equal  to the  dividend  paid on that  date on a share of the  Company's  Common
Stock,  reinvested  in  additional  Individual  Performance  Units in an  amount
equivalent to an  investment of such dividend in shares of the Company's  Common
Stock at its fair market value on such date.


         2. Award.  Except as provided in paragraph VII-5, awards of Individual 
Performance  Units  shall  be  contingent  upon  the  Participant's   continuing
employment  with  the  Company  or its  subsidiaries  throughout  the  specified
Performance Period, and shall be subject to such additional
                                         8

<PAGE>

terms and conditions as the Committee in its sole discretion deems  appropriate.
The length of Performance Periods may vary among Participants.

         3. Performance  Goals.  For each  Performance  Period the Committee may
establish  Performance  Goals which shall be based upon  achievement of specific
levels of return on equity.  In  determining  the extent to which a  Performance
Goal has been achieved,  the Committee shall exclude the effect,  if any, on the
Company's  income  or  equity,  of  changes  in  generally  accepted  accounting
principles  or Federal  income  tax laws or  regulations,  adopted or  effective
subsequent  to  the   establishment   of  such  Performance  Goal  as  it  deems
appropriate. Performance Goals may vary among Participants.

         4.  Payment and Amount.  If the  Performance  Goal  established  by the
Committee for a Performance  Period has been achieved,  the Company shall redeem
the  Individual  Performance  Units and pay to the  Participant  an amount  (the
"Redemption Amount") equal to not more than three (3) times - depending upon the
extent to which the Performance Goal has been achieved or exceeded - the product
of (i) the number of Individual  Performance Units credited to the Participant's
account at the end of a Performance Period (including reinvested dividends), and
(ii) the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of payment.
Payment of the Redemption  Amount to the  Participant  may, in the discretion of
the Committee,  be made in cash and in Common Stock of the Company,  and will be
made as soon as practicable  following expiration of the applicable  Performance
Period and  certification  by the Committee of the Redemption  Amount.  The cash
payment shall in no event exceed fifty percent (50%) of the Redemption Amount.

         5.  Forfeitures.  Except as  provided  below,  or  except as  otherwise
determined by the Committee, if a Participant's  employment with the Company and
its subsidiaries is terminated for any reason, the Participant shall forfeit all
unredeemed  Individual  Performance Units previously  granted to the Participant
with respect to any Performance Period and any undistributed dividends allocable
thereto.  To the  extent  the  Performance  Goals are not  achieved,  Individual
Performance Units not redeemed shall be forfeited.  If, prior to completion of a
Performance  Period,  a  Participant's  employment  with  the  Company  and  its
subsidiaries is terminated by reason of the Participant's death,  disability (as
determined  by the  Committee)  or  retirement  under a  Company  or  subsidiary
retirement plan, the Participant,  or in the event of the  Participant's  death,
the person(s)  entitled thereto by will or the laws of descent and distribution,
shall, if the applicable  Performance  Goal is attained,  receive the Redemption
Amount  at the  time  of  payment  to  other  Participants.  In the  event  of a
Participant's retirement, the Redemption Amount shall be prorated to the date of
such Participant's  retirement.  Individual Performance Units shall be forfeited
to the extent not redeemed.

VIII. SPECIAL ACCELERATION IN CERTAIN EVENTS

         1. Special Acceleration.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of the 
Plan, a Special Acceleration of awards outstanding under the Plan shall occur 
with the effect set forth in

                                        9

<PAGE>

paragraph VIII-2 at any time when any one of the following events has 
taken place:

         (a)      The Company  receives a report on Schedule 13D  reporting  the
                  beneficial  ownership by any person  (other than a Participant
                  in the  Plan)  of 20% or  more  of the  Company's  outstanding
                  Common Stock, except that if such receipt shall occur during a
                  tender  offer or exchange  offer by any person  other than the
                  Company or a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of the  Company,  or a
                  Participant in the Plan,  Special  Acceleration shall not take
                  place until the conclusion of such offer;

         (b)      If, upon conclusion of a tender or exchange offer,  any person
                  other than the  Company or a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of the
                  Company,  or a Participant in the Plan;  announces that it has
                  accepted for purchase a sufficient  number of shares of Common
                  Stock  pursuant to such tender  offer or exchange  offer which
                  will result in such person becoming directly or indirectly the
                  beneficial  owner of 20% or more of the Company's  outstanding
                  Common Stock;

         (c)      Holders  of the  necessary  number of  shares of Common  Stock
                  authorize  or approve  any merger in which the  Company is not
                  the surviving  corporation or survives only as a subsidiary of
                  another  corporation,  or  consolidation  or  sale  of  all or
                  substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

         (d)      During any period of twelve months or less  individuals who at
                  the  beginning  of such period  constituted  a majority of the
                  Board of  Directors  cease  for any  reason  to  constitute  a
                  majority thereof unless the nomination or election of such new
                  directors was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the
                  directors  then  still in  office  who were  directors  at the
                  beginning of such period.

         The terms used in this Part VIII and not defined  elsewhere in the Plan
shall have the same meaning as such terms have in the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations adopted thereunder.


2. Effect on Outstanding Awards.  Upon a Special Acceleration pursuant to 
paragraph VIII-I:

         (a)      All Stock  Options  then  outstanding  under  Parts II and III
                  shall immediately become exercisable in full for the remainder
                  of their terms, provided that no Stock Option may be exercised
                  by an officer of the Company  within six months of its date of
                  grant;  and each optionee shall have the right during a period
                  of thirty days following a Special Acceleration to have the

                                         10

<PAGE>

                  Company  purchase any  Non-Qualified  Stock  Options which are
                  then exercisable and as to which no Stock Appreciation  Rights
                  have  been  granted  at a  cash  purchase  price  computed  in
                  accordance  with  paragraph (e) below and any Incentive  Stock
                  Options  which are then  exercisable  and as to which no Stock
                  Appreciation Rights have been granted at a cash purchase price
                  equal to the  product of (i) the  excess,  if any, of the fair
                  market value of a share of Common Stock computed in accordance
                  with  paragraph II-I over the option price and (ii) the number
                  of shares of  Common  Stock  covered  by the  Incentive  Stock
                  Option  or  portion  thereof  surrendered,  provided  that the
                  Company  shall have the right  during  such period to purchase
                  any Incentive  Stock Option as to which no Stock  Appreciation
                  Rights have been  granted at the  purchase  price  computed in
                  accordance with paragraph (e) below;

         (b)      All Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding  under Part IV shall
