SELECTED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS                     
(Dollars in thousands except per share amounts)


1.   Basis of Presentation

     The financial statements are unaudited but reflect all adjustments
     (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of
     management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim
     periods presented.  These financial statements should be read in
     conjunction with the financial statements and related notes in the 1994
     Annual Report to Stockholders.  Results from any interim period are not
     necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

2.   Discontinued Operations

     During the second quarter of 1995, our pipe-coating subsidiary was sold for
     approximately $10,000.  With this divestiture, all subsidiaries that were
     classified as discontinued operations in 1993 have been sold.

3.   Future Accounting Changes

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
     Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
     Of," was issued in March 1995.  This statement requires review and
     measurement methods to calculate impairment of long-lived assets, including
     certain identifiable intangibles and goodwill, whenever events or
     circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
     recoverable.  The statement also requires that long-lived assets to be
     disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value
     less costs to sell.  Although asset impairment is always a possibility from
     changes in business condition, strategy and organization, we do not expect
     the adoption of this statement in 1996 to result in any significant write-
     downs of assets.

4.   Commitments and Contingencies

     The company is party to various claims, disputes, legal actions and other
     proceedings involving product liability, contracts, equal employment
     opportunity, occupational safety, environmental issues and various other
     matters.  In the opinion of management, the outcome of these matters should
     not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition
     or results of operations of the company.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of
          Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
          (Dollars in thousands)

Changes in Financial Condition during
the Thirty-nine Weeks Ended September 30, 1995

Capital Structure

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $7,166 at the end of the third quarter, a
decrease of $2,640 from the end of 1994.  Working capital of $144,848 was up
$38,368 from year-end 1994, with higher receivable and inventory balances
contributing to the increase.  The current ratio was 1.8 compared to 1.6 at
year-end 1994.

Debt at the end of the third quarter totaled $261,066, an increase of $52,581
from the beginning of the year.  The increase reflected borrowings under our
revolving credit agreements, primarily for capital expenditures and working
capital requirements.  Included in working capital requirements was a $10,144
pension contribution to the bargaining unit plan of Lukens Steel Company in
Coatesville, Pennsylvania.  The contribution resulted in an increase of
Intangible Assets recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The ratio of
long-term debt to capital (long-term debt plus stockholders' investment) was
45.9 percent compared to 42.1 percent at year-end 1994.

Liquidity

Cash flow from operating activity totaled $19,521 for the first three quarters
compared to $40,220 in the comparable 1994 period.  The decrease from 1994
primarily reflected higher inventory requirements.  The pension contribution
discussed above also reduced 1995 cash flow compared to 1994.

Financing activity generated $42,428 with net borrowings of $54,875 partially
offset by dividend payments of $12,843.  Investing activity required $64,589,
primarily for capital expenditures of $77,769.  Proceeds from the sale of
subsidiaries and assets for the first three quarters totaled $17,007.

During the third quarter, coiled carbon steel production was initiated at the
Steckel Mill Advanced Rolling Technology (SMART/SM/) system at Conshohocken,
Pennsylvania.  The start-up of the SMART system continued to result in
production disruptions, including the loss of significant carbon steel
production.  The start-up program is expected to continue on schedule during the
fourth quarter, although we should be past the peak expenditures and
disruptions.
<PAGE>
 
During the third quarter, a customer inventory correction put pressure on order
rates and shipments of cold-rolled stainless products, and is expected to
continue for the remainder of the year.  Order backlog was $153,700 at the end
of the third quarter, down 9 percent from the beginning of the year and 5
percent from the same time last year.  Overall, we still anticipate an earnings
improvement from 1994.

Cash flow during the fourth quarter of 1995 should benefit from a reduction in
inventory, and we expect that 1995 cash flow from operating activity will
approach 1994 levels.  Our ability to implement the start-up of significant
capital projects as planned will continue to be a significant factor to cash
flow.

Preliminary discussions in preparation for negotiations have begun with the
bargaining unit of Lukens Steel Company in Coatesville, Pennsylvania.  The
current contract expires on January 31, 1996.

In the long term, Lukens relies on the ability to generate sufficient cash flows
from operating activity to fund investing and financing requirements and to
maintain a target long-term debt-to-capital ratio of 35 percent.  Because of our
aggressive capital expenditure program, however, we anticipate exceeding our
target long-term debt-to-capital ratio until the projected benefits of the
program improve cash flow from operations and enable us to reach our target in
the long run.

Results of Operations for the Quarters Ended
September 30, 1995 and September 24, 1994

Operating Results

Sales for the quarter were $254,660, up 10 percent from 1994 sales of $231,463.
Third quarter operating earnings of $17,528 were 10 percent ahead of 1994 third
quarter earnings of $15,909.  The increase was attributable to the Washington
Stainless Group, which benefited from higher selling prices and higher earnings
from the service center operations.  The Lukens Steel Group recorded lower
results largely from expenses and production disruptions associated with the
start-up of capital projects.  The increase in 1995 selling and administrative
expenses included higher incentive compensation accruals.

Interest Expense

Interest expense of $3,545 was down 7 percent from the 1994 expense of $3,831.
The reduction reflected higher amounts of capitalized interest in 1995 that were
partially offset by interest expense from higher debt levels and higher interest
rates in 1995.
<PAGE>
 
Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 37.8 percent in 1995 and 39.0 percent in 1994.
Included in the 1994 rate was the unfavorable impact from the revaluation of net
deferred tax assets following changes to Pennsylvania corporate tax rates and
net operating loss deduction rules.
 
Net Earnings

Net earnings of $8,698 in the 1995 third quarter were 18 percent higher than
1994 third quarter net earnings of $7,368.

(a)   Eliminations primarily reflected sales from the Lukens Steel Group to the
Washington Stainless Group and the related profit-in-inventory recognition.
With the completion of stainless melting facilities in Coatesville,
Pennsylvania, during the first quarter of 1995, stainless slabs were
manufactured and sold to the Washington Stainless Group.

Lukens Steel Group

Earnings for the third quarter were down 6 percent.  The decline reflected
production disruptions and expenses associated with the start-up of capital
expenditure projects.  Higher scrap costs also impacted results.  Sales for the
quarter were up 19 percent from the combination of higher selling prices and
from the inter-group sales of stainless slabs, referenced in the above chart.
Production disruptions were evident in the 10 percent decline in shipments,
particularly in carbon product lines.  Shipped tons in 1995 were 154,900
compared to 171,700 tons in 1994.
<PAGE>
 
Washington Stainless Group

The group recorded a 27 percent earnings improvement on a 24 percent sales
increase.  Higher selling prices combined with improved results from our service
center operations resulted in the increase.  The earnings increase was limited
by higher raw material costs and a customer inventory correction that reduced
shipments in cold-rolled products.  Shipments totaled 61,000 tons in 1995, 16
percent below the 72,500 tons in 1994.

Results of Operations for the Thirty-nine Weeks Ended
September 30, 1995 and September 24, 1994

Operating Results

Operating earnings of $53,685 were 75 percent higher than 1994 earnings of
$30,618.  The increase primarily reflected the favorable impact of higher
selling prices and productivity gains in the Washington Stainless Group.
Included in 1994 earnings was the impact of production disruptions and
maintenance costs associated with severe weather conditions during the first
quarter.  The increase in 1995 selling and administrative expenses included
higher incentive compensation accruals.

Sales of $786,442 for the three quarters were 13 percent ahead of 1994 sales of
$694,589.  Most of the increase resulted from the Washington Stainless Group,
which benefited from higher selling prices.

Interest Expense

Interest expense of $9,729 was down 18 percent compared to the 1994 expense of
$11,825.  The 1995 expense included higher amounts of capitalized interest that
were partially offset by interest expense from higher debt levels and higher
interest rates.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 37.8 percent in 1995 and 39.0 percent in 1994.
Included in the 1994 rate was the unfavorable impact from the revaluation of net
deferred tax assets following changes to Pennsylvania corporate tax rates and
net operating loss deduction rules.

With the completion of stainless melting facilities in Coatesville,
Pennsylvania, during the first quarter of 1995, stainless slabs were
manufactured and sold to the Washington Stainless Group.


Lukens Steel Group

Sales for the first three quarters of 1995 were up 16 percent from the
combination of higher selling prices and the inter-group sales of stainless
slabs, referenced in the above chart.  Shipments for the period were 482,400
tons, down 10 percent from 1994 shipments of 534,700 tons.  The decline,
particularly in carbon product lines, reflected the impact of production
disruptions from the start-up of capital expenditure projects.

Earnings were also up 16 percent.  The 1995 earnings were limited by production
disruptions and expenses associated with the start-up of capital expenditure
projects.  Included in 1994 results was the impact of production disruptions and
maintenance costs associated with severe weather conditions that resulted in a
loss for the first quarter of 1994.

Washington Stainless Group

Higher selling prices led to a 28 percent increase in sales.  A customer
inventory correction during the third quarter, which reduced order rates and
shipments of cold-rolled products, is expected to continue for the remainder of
the year.  Shipments for the first three quarters were 194,300 tons, slightly
lower than 1994 shipments of 196,900 tons.  The sales improvement coupled with
productivity gains translated into a strong earnings improvement from the first
three quarters of 1994.  Higher raw material costs partially offset the earnings
improvement.

Section 7.02(b), surviving spouse's benefits payable to the spouse under the
Retirement Plan are reduced by reason of the spouse's eligibility for Social
Security widow's or widower's benefits, benefits under this Section 7.02(b)

pay benefits accrued or payable hereunder shall be binding upon any successor
corporation or organization which shall succeed to substantially all of the
assets and business of the Company, and the term "Company" wherever used herein

          ------------ 

               (a)  In the event there is a Change in Control, the following
benefits shall become immediately due and payable in a single sum amount. For
purposes of this Section 8.02, present value shall be determined on the basis of
the UP 1984 mortality table and an interest assumption of 7% or the PBGC
interest rates for deferred annuities in effect for the month of the
distribution, whichever produces the greater benefit.

                  (i)  With respect to each Participant to whom benefits under
the Plan have not commenced as of the date of the Change in Control, the present
value of his Accrued Benefit, determined by assuming that the Participant is
eligible to begin receiving benefits under the Plan as of the date of the Change
in Control and that no reduction for early commencement is applicable under
Section 5.02, plus, if such Participant is

                                       19

married as of the date of the Change in Control, the present value of the
spouse's benefit calculated pursuant to Section 7.02(b) as if the Participant
had died on the date of the Change in Control and had attained age 65 as of the
date of his death.

                (ii)    With respect to each spouse of a Participant who is
deceased as of the date of a Change in Control and who is eligible for benefits
under Section 7.02(a) or (b) but to whom such benefits have not commenced as of
the date of a Change in Control, the present value of the benefits payable under
Section 7.02(a) or (b), whichever is applicable, calculated in the case of
benefits under Section 7.02(b) as if the Participant would have attained age 65
on the date of the Change in Control.

               (iii)    With respect to each Participant to whom benefits under
the Plan have commenced as of the date of a Change in Control, the present value
of the benefits payable to the Participant, plus, if the Participant is married
as of the date of a Change in Control, the present value of the spouse's benefit
calculated pursuant to Section 7.02(a) as if the Participant had died on the
date of the Change in Control.

                (iv)    With respect to each spouse to whom benefits under
Section 7.02(a) or (b) have commenced as of date of a Change in Control, the
present value of the benefits payable to such spouse under Section 7.02(a) or
(b), whichever is applicable.

Change in Control, and shall not cause the forfeiture of any benefits under the
Plan, except with respect to events that occurred prior to the date of the
Change in Control.

whatsoever in or to any investments which the Company may make to aid it in
meeting its obligations hereunder.  Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action
taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust
of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and the Participant
or any other person.  To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive
payments from the Company under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than
the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.  All payments to be
made hereunder shall be paid in cash from the general funds of the Company, and
no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets
shall be made, to assure payment of such amounts.

happening at any time any such payment would be made subject to his debts or
liabilities or would otherwise devolve upon anyone else and not be enjoyed by

interest in any such payment and direct that the same be held and applied to or

reached an age at which he would be entitled to receive benefits under the
Social Security Act, that the Participant will be entitled to receive a Social
Security benefit beginning at the earliest age then provided under the Social

Participant in accordance with Articles IV and V shall commence on the first day
of the month following the Participant's Retirement and shall be payable on the

further that the benefit payments commencing on such date and under such method
are the actuarially equivalent value of the benefits payable on the
Participant's Retirement under a straight life annuity as provided hereinabove.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, benefits hereunder
may not be paid in lump sum form except in the event of a Change in Control. If
the Committee approves a method of payment pursuant to which amounts may be paid
to another person subsequent to the death of the Participant, the Participant
shall designate a beneficiary thereunder pursuant to rules adopted by the

payable to such Participant (determined on the basis of a straight life annuity)
shall be paid to such Participant's surviving spouse, if any, commencing on the
first day of the month following the month in which the Participant died and
continuing throughout the spouse's lifetime; provided, however, that this
Section 7.02(a) shall only be applicable to a spouse to whom the Participant was
married at the time of his Retirement.

have not commenced under Section 7.01 and who has completed at least five years
of Continuous Service as a member of the Management Group:

<PAGE>
 
                   (i)    A monthly benefit shall be paid to the spouse, if any,
     to whom the Participant was married on the date of his death, calculated as
     hereinafter provided. The benefit shall commence on a date determined
     pursuant to Section 7.02(b)(ii) and continue throughout the spouse's
     lifetime.

                   (ii)   The spouse's benefit payable pursuant to Section
     7.02(b)(i) shall commence as of the first day of any month following the
     month in which the Participant died, as the spouse shall elect, but not
     later than the later of (A) the first day of the month in which the
     Participant would have attained age 65 but for his death or (B) the first
     day of the month coincident with or next following the Participant's death.

                   (iii)  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.02(b),
     the amount of benefit payable under this Section 7.02(b) shall be fifty
     percent (50%) of (A) the amount determined under Section 4.01(a) and (b) or
     Section 4.02(a) and (b), whichever is appropriate, based only on the
     Participant's years of Continuous Service as of the date of his death, as
     if the Participant's Retirement occurred on the date the spouse elects to
     have benefits commence under this Section, determined on the basis of a
     straight life annuity and as if the Participant's age on such date would
     have been the greater of 55 or his actual age had he lived, (B) reduced in
     accordance with Section 4.01(b), based only

                                       16
<PAGE>
 
     on the Participant's years of Continuous Service as of the date of his
     death, as if the Participant's Retirement occurred on the date the spouse
     elects to have benefits commence under this Section 7.02(b).

                   (iv)   The amount payable pursuant to this Section 7.02(b)
     shall be determined without regard to any benefit payable to the
     Participant under the Lukens Inc. Supplemental Retirement Plan or the
     Supplemental Retirement Plan of General Steel Industries, Inc.

                   (v)    The amount payable pursuant to this Section 7.02(b)
     shall be determined (A) without regard to the Participant's ineligibility
     to receive benefits under this Plan (or the Retirement Plan, if applicable)
     because he has fewer than ten years of Continuous Service, if applicable,
     (B) on the basis of a straight life annuity and as if the Participant's age
     on the date benefits commence to the spouse would have been the greater of
     55 or his actual age had he lived, and (C) if the Participant would not
     have attained age 55 as of the date the spouse elects to have benefits
     commence under this Section 7.02(b), reduced further by 4% or a
     proportionate part thereof for each full or partial year by which the date
     benefits commence precedes the date the Participant would have attained age
     55 but for his death, and based only on the Participant's years of
     Continuous Service as of the date of his death.

                   (vi)   The amount payable pursuant to this Section 7.02(b)
     shall be reduced by the amount determined under Section 4.01(c) based on
     the Participant's eligibility or ineligibility to receive a Social Security
     benefit as of the date of his death.

                   (vii)  In the event that, after benefits commence under this
     Section 7.02(b), surviving spouse's benefits payable to the spouse under
     the Retirement Plan are reduced by reason of the spouse's eligibility for
     Social Security widow's or widower's benefits, benefits under this Section
     7.02(b) shall be increased by an amount equal to such reduction for each
     month surviving spouse's benefits under the Retirement Plan are so reduced.

pay benefits accrued or payable hereunder shall be binding upon any successor
corporation or organization which shall succeed to substantially all of the
assets and business of the Company, and the term "Company" wherever used herein
shall mean and include any such corporation or organization after such
succession, and such obligations shall be deemed to have been expressly assumed
by any such successor corporation or organization.

          Section 8.02. (a) In the event there is a Change in Control, the
          -------------                                                   
following benefits shall become immediately due and payable in a single sum
amount. For purposes of this Section 8.02, present value shall be determined on
the basis of the UP 1984 mortality table and an interest assumption of 7% or the
PBGC interest rates for immediate or deferred annuities, whichever is
appropriate, in effect for the month of the distribution, whichever produces a
greater benefit.

                   (i)   With respect to each Participant to whom benefits
     under the Plan have not commenced as of the date of the Change in Control
     and who is not a party to an individual agreement with the Company
     providing for benefits in the event of a Change in Control, the present
     value of his Accrued Benefit, determined by assuming that the Participant
     is eligible to begin receiving benefits under

     and that no reduction for early commencement is applicable under Section
     5.02, plus, if such Participant is married as of the date of the Change in
     Control, the present value of the spouse's benefit calculated pursuant to
     Section 7.02(b) as if the Participant had died on the date of the Change in
     Control and had attained age 65 as of the date of his death.

                   (ii)   With respect to each other Participant to whom
     benefits under the Plan have not commenced as of the date of the Change in
     Control, the present value of his Accrued Benefit, determined by assuming
     that the Participant is or would be eligible and would have begun to
     receive benefits in accordance with section 5.02 upon the later of
     attainment of age 55 or occurrence of the Change in Control.

                   (iii)  With respect to each spouse of a Participant who is
     deceased as of the date of a Change in Control and who is eligible for
     benefits under Section 7.02(a) or (b) but to whom such benefits have not
     commenced as of the date of a Change in Control, the present value of the
     benefits payable under Section 7.02(a) or (b), whichever is applicable,
     calculated in the case of benefits under Section 7.02(b) as if the
     Participant would have attained age 65 on the date of the Change in
     Control.

                   (iii)  With respect to each Participant to whom benefits
     under the Plan have commenced as of the date of a

                                       20

     Change in Control, the present value of the benefits payable to the
     Participant, plus, if the Participant is married as of the date of a Change
     in Control, the present value of the spouse's benefit calculated pursuant
     to Section 7.02(a) as if the Participant had died on the date of the Change
     in Control.

                   (iv)   With respect to each spouse to whom benefits under
     Section 7.02(a) or (b) have commenced as of the date of a Change in
     Control, the present value of the benefits payable to such spouse under
     Section 7.02(a) or (b), whichever is applicable.

               (b) As of the date of a Change in Control, the provisions of
Article VI shall be of no effect with respect to events that occur after the
Change in Control, and shall not cause the forfeiture of any benefits under the
Plan, except with respect to events that occurred prior to the date of the
Change in Control.

right to receive payments from the Company under this Plan, such right shall be
no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. All
payments to be made hereunder shall be paid in cash from the general funds of
the Company, and no special or separate fund shall be established and no
segregation of assets shall be made, to assure payments of such amounts.

For purposes of this Section, any Participant who is a Salaried Employee who has
five or more years of Continuous Service as a member of the Management Group at
the time of termination or amendment of this Plan shall be deemed to have

Committee shall be conclusive upon the Company, each Participant and his
beneficiaries. If one or more members of the Committee are disqualified by
personal interest from taking part in a particular decision, the remaining
member or members of the Committee (although less than a quorum) shall have full
power to act on the matter. Any claims for a benefit under this Plan shall be
filed with the Committee and resolved in accordance with the provisions of the
Claims Procedure provided in the Retirement Plan, except that the Committee
shall be responsible for handling, reviewing and disposing of any claim filed

              -------- 

          The Plan provides that the Committee will establish a Target Amount
for each Year for each Participant.  The Target Amount will be a percentage of
the Participant's base salary.  The actual award of Incentive Awards under the
Plan will depend on Return on Net Assets, Operating Earnings and the
Participant's individual performance.  Corporate objectives shall determine 70%
of a Participant's Incentive Award and individual or team objectives shall
determine 30% of a Participant's Incentive Award.  The annual corporate
objectives approved by the Committee will become the objectives of this Plan.
When making Incentive Awards after the end of the Year, each Participant's
Target Amount will be adjusted to reflect actual performance above or below the
performance objective as to each component of the Target Amount.

          4.  Administration.
              -------------- 

              (a)  The Committee shall have full authority and discretion,
consistent with the Plan, to interpret the Plan, to promulgate such rules and
procedures regarding the Plan as he deems desirable and to make all other
determinations necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. All
decisions,

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
determinations and interpretations of the Committee shall be binding upon all
Participants.

               (b)  For purposes of this Plan, the Return on Net Assets and
Operating Earnings of the Company shall be conclusively determined by the
Committee in good faith in accordance with the accounting principles employed by
the Company generally. From time to time, the Committee in its sole discretion
may make adjustments in earnings as reported in the Company's books and records
so that changes in accounting principles; extraordinary or unusual charges or
credits; acquisitions, mergers, consolidations and other corporate transactions;
and other elements of or factors influencing the calculation of earnings do not
distort or affect the operation of the Plan in a manner inconsistent with the
achievement of its purposes.

               (c)  No member of the Committee shall be personally liable by
reason of any contract or other instrument executed by him or on his behalf in
his capacity as a member of the Committee nor for any mistake of judgment made
in good faith, and the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of
the Committee and each other officer, employee or director of the Company or any
of its subsidiary or other affiliated corporations to whom any duty or power
relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan may be allocated or
delegated, against any cost or expense (including counsel fees) or liability
(including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
approval of the Board) arising out of any act or omission to act in connection
with the Plan, unless arising out of such person's own fraud or bad faith.

          5.  Participants.
              ------------ 

          Each employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries who is
classified in the grade of Superintendent or above shall be a Participant.
Incentive Awards to Participants shall be made after the close of the Year in
accordance with the standards contained in Paragraphs 6, 7 and 8 of this Plan.
In the discretion of the Committee, a Participant who has terminated employment
during the Year and who is not employed by the Company on the last day of the
Year may be eligible for an Incentive Award.  The base salary on which the
Target Amount and Incentive Award, if any, for a terminated Participant are
based shall be the Participant's base salary accruing prior to termination of
employment.

          6.  Size of Incentive Awards.
              ------------------------ 

          Prior to January 31 of each Year, the Chairman shall establish a
Target Amount for each Participant.  Attainment of Performance Objectives will
produce an Incentive Award equal to the Target Amount.  Actual performance above
or below the Performance Objective for each component of the Target Award will
produce a greater or smaller Incentive Award or no Incentive Award.  The maximum
Incentive Award and the minimum Performance Objectives necessary to receive an
Incentive Award shall be determined on an annual basis by the Committee.

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
          7.  Profit and Performance Targets.
              ------------------------------ 


              (a)  The Performance Objectives are (i) Return on Net Assets;
(ii) Operating Earnings; and (iii) individual performance goals. Prior to
January 31 of each Year, the Committee shall adopt targets for Return on Net
Assets and Operating Earnings. Individual performance goals for purposes of the
Plan shall be those individual performance goals, including team objectives,
established for eligible employees in the ordinary course of the Company's
business.

              (b)  The Committee shall establish annually the weight to be
given to each Performance Objective -- Return on Net Assets, Operating Earnings
and the individual performance goals--for all Participants.

          8.  Performance Range for Awards.
              ---------------------------- 

          For each Participant and for each Year, the weighted percentage of the
Target Amount attributable to each Performance Objective shall be adjusted
according to the performance level of such Performance Objective.  The
adjustment to the weighted percentage of the Target Amount for each Performance
Objective shall correspond to the performance level as determined by the
Committee for each Year and communicated to Participants.

          9.  Payment - Non-Officers.
              ---------------------- 

          The Incentive Awards to be paid to Participants who are not Officers
with respect to a Year or portion thereof pursuant to this Plan shall be paid in
a cash lump sum at such time after the end of the Year as the Committee shall
determine.

                                       6

          10.  Payment - Officers.
               ------------------ 

               (a)  Form of Payment. Participants who are Officers with respect
                    ---------------
to a Year or portion thereof pursuant to this Plan shall be paid 50% of the
Incentive Award to which they would be entitled but for the provisions of this
Paragraph 10 in a cash lump sum at such time after the end of the Year as the
Committee shall determine. The remainder of the Incentive Award shall be paid in
the form of non-qualified stock options for common stock of the Company.

               (b)  Grant of Stock Options.
                    ---------------------- 

                 (i)    Number of Stock Options. The number of Stock Options to
                        ----------------------- 
be awarded to a Participant shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing
(x) the product of 50% of the Target Amount times 135%, by (y) the Black-Scholes
Value.
                (ii)    Terms of Stock Options. Each Stock Option awarded
                        ----------------------   
pursuant to this Plan shall be granted under the Stock Option Plan designated by
the Committee, under which a sufficient number of shares of common stock of the
Company remain available to be made subject to Stock Options. Each such Stock
Option shall lapse if the Participant terminates employment for any reason other
than death or disability before the third anniversary of the Date of Grant. No
such Stock Option shall become exercisable before the third anniversary of the
Date of Grant, and all such Stock Options shall expire on the seventh
anniversary of the Date of Grant. Each such Stock Option shall be subject to
such other terms not inconsistent with the

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
foregoing and such terms as may be required pursuant to the Stock Option Plan.

          11.  No Employment Rights.
               -------------------- 

          Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon any employee of the Company or a
subsidiary any right to continued employment, or interfere with the right of the
Company or a subsidiary to terminate his or her employment at any time.

          12.  Binding Upon Successors.
               ----------------------- 

          The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding upon
any successor corporation or organization which shall succeed to substantially
all of the assets and business of the Company and the term "Company," whenever
used in the Plan, shall mean and include any such corporation or organization
after such succession.  If the business conducted by the Company shall be
discontinued, any unpaid incentives under the Plan shall become payable in a
lump sum to the person or persons then entitled thereto.

          13.  Termination.
               ----------- 

          The Committee reserves the right at any time to amend, suspend, or
terminate the Plan in whole or in part and for any reason and without the
consent of any Participant or beneficiary; provided, that no such amendment
shall adversely affect rights to receive any amount to which Participants or
beneficiaries have become entitled prior to such amendment.
