             INLAND STEEL INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1/FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of
results of any other periods or for the year.  The financial statements as of
June 30, 1995 and for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995
and 1994 are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for such periods.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and related notes contained in the Annual Report to Stockholders for
the year ended December 31, 1994.


NOTE 2/CAPITAL STOCK

During the 1995 second quarter, the Company contributed 3.9 million shares of
its common stock with an aggregate value of $100 million to the Company's
Pension Trust, reducing deferred employee benefits and increasing stockholders'
equity.


NOTE 3/SUBSEQUENT EVENT

In June, the Company announced it was temporarily postponing the early
repurchase of its Series F Exchangeable Preferred Stock due to an increase in
breakage fees resulting from a reduction in interest rates.  On August 1, the
Company exchanged its Series F Exchangeable Preferred Stock, held entirely by
Nippon Steel Corporation, for a 10.23% Subordinated Voting Note.


NOTE 4/COMMITMENTS

The total amount of firm commitments of the Company and its subsidiaries to
contractors and suppliers, primarily in connection with additions to property,
plant and equipment, increased to $43 million on June 30, 1995 from $42 million
on December 31, 1994.

ITEM 2.


          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Comparison of Second Quarter 1995 to Second Quarter
1994

      The Company's reported consolidated net income of $57.9 million, $1.08
per common share, in the second quarter of 1995 exceeded the net income of
$31.6 million, $.57 per share, in the year-ago quarter by more than eighty
percent.  Improved operating results at both of the Company's business segments
were the primary factor for the year-to-year improvement.

      Consolidated net sales continued to improve, rising 12 percent from the
year-ago quarter to $1.27 billion.  Both segments benefited from higher average
selling prices which was the major factor for the improvement.

      The Steel Manufacturing segment reported $69.6 million of operating
profit, up from $46.7 million in the 1994 second quarter.  Net sales increased
7 percent to $685 million due almost entirely to an increase in average selling
price, as volume was virtually unchanged at 1,340,000 tons.  Operating profit
as a percent of sales in the 1995 second quarter improved from the second
quarter of 1994 as the operating cost increase of 3 percent was less than the 7
percent revenue increase.

      The Materials Distribution segment net sales of $632 million in the
second quarter of 1995 were 15 percent ahead of the year-earlier quarter due
almost entirely to an increase in average selling price.  Reflecting the
improvement in net sales, operating profit increased $16.8 million to $41.0
million in the 1995 second quarter from the year-ago period.  On a quarter to
comparable year-earlier quarter basis, this is the sixteenth consecutive
quarter of Materials Distribution operating profit improvement.


Comparison of First Six Months of 1995 to First Six Months of 1994

      The strong operating performance in the first half of 1995 at both of the
Company's business segments was the major factor in the Company reporting a
consolidated net income of $102 million for the first six months of 1995
compared to $41 million of net income in the first half of 1994.

      Consolidated net sales of $2.53 billion were 14 percent higher for the
first six months of 1995 than the 1994 first half due to improved average
selling price at both business segments and higher volume at the Materials
Distribution segment.

      Steel Manufacturing segment net sales of $1.34 billion for the first half
of 1995 increased 8 percent from the comparable 1994 period due primarily to an
improvement in average selling price as shipments increased marginally.  Higher
average selling price was also the primary factor leading to operating profit
increasing to $121 million, more than double year-earlier levels.

      The Materials Distribution segment continued to advance, posting net
sales of $1.28 billion and operating profit of $83.0 million, increases of 18
percent and 82 percent, respectively, from year-ago periods.  Average selling
price in the first six months of 1995 increased 14 percent while volume rose 4
percent compared with the 1994 first half.

Liquidity and Financing

      At June 30, 1995, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $139
million, compared with $107 million at year-end 1994.  There was no short-term
borrowing at either date.

      In the 1995 first quarter, the Ryerson unsecured revolving credit
facility was increased to $200 million and the maturity was extended for five
years.  This increased the Company's subsidiaries total committed credit
facilities to $325 million.

      During the second quarter, the credit facility at I/N Kote, Inland Steel
Company's joint venture galvanizing facility, was renegotiated resulting in
reduced borrowing rates, an increase in the term from three to five years, and
a reduction in the credit line from $55 million to $45 million.

      In July, Inland Steel Company refinanced $17 million of Pollution Control
Bonds, lowering the interest rate from 10.75 percent to 6.85 percent on such
debt.

      In May the Company contributed 3.9 million shares of its common stock
with an aggregate value of $100 million to the Company's Pension Trust.  The
contribution strengthens the plan's funded status and reduces the need for
future contributions.

Bonds and as provided in said Issuer Indenture, the Company shall promptly
redeem, on a date to be designated by the Issuer Indenture Trustee, but upon

     Section 6.       Upon the acceleration of the maturity of the Series 1995
Pollution Control Bonds pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Issuer Indenture
(unless at the time of such acceleration an "event of default" as defined in
the First Mortgage has occurred under the First Mortgage and is continuing, in

1995 Pollution Control Bonds whose maturity has been accelerated.

     Section 7.       After $17,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Series
1995 First Mortgage Bonds shall have been authenticated and delivered, no
additional Series 1995 First Mortgage Bonds shall be issued, except for Series
1995 First Mortgage Bonds issued to a successor Issuer Indenture Trustee under
the Issuer Indenture upon surrender of a like principal amount of outstanding
Series 1995 First Mortgage Bonds of the same series, Series 1995 First Mortgage
Bonds issued in lieu of Series 1995 First Mortgage Bonds of the same series
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen or Series 1995 First Mortgage Bonds issued
in exchange for the unredeemed portion of Series 1995 First Mortgage Bonds of
the same series redeemed in part.

only to a successor Issuer Indenture Trustee under the Issuer Indenture, by the
registered holder hereof, in person or by attorney duly authorized, at the
office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New
York, State of New York, or at the office or agency of the Company, in the City
of Chicago, State of Illinois, upon surrender and cancellation of such Series
1995 First Mortgage Bonds, and thereupon one or more new Series 1995 First
Mortgage Bonds of authorized denominations, and for the same aggregate
principal amount and of the same series, will be issued to the transferee in
exchange therefor, as provided in the First Mortgage.  A service charge will
not be made for any transfer of Series 1995 First Mortgage Bonds, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or other
governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

                     MODIFICATION OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF
                               THE FIRST MORTGAGE


     Without any further vote or consent on the part of the holders of the
Series 1995 First Mortgage Bonds, but subject to the rights under the First
Mortgage of the holders of any other outstanding Bonds, the Company and the
Trustees may enter into a supplemental indenture for the purpose of modifying
or deleting (i) the restriction on dividends set forth in Article Six, Section
19, of the First Mortgage or, (ii) the provisions in Group Four of the Granting
Clause of the First Mortgage which provide, upon the occurrence of certain
events, that the First Mortgage covers certain personal property of the Company
(including, without limitation, tools, rolling stock, ships, vessels, boats,
motor or other vehicles, raw materials, supplies, store-room contents, work in
process, manufactured products, and other personal property, cash, notes, bills
and accounts receivable and other choses in action) and the reference to
"physical property" in Article Six, Section 4, of the First Mortgage, or (iii)
any or all restrictions on the issuance of additional Bonds, including those
relating to interest coverage and capital expenditures, or on the purposes for
which additional Bonds may be issued, set forth in the First Mortgage, and (or)
for the purpose of providing that all Bonds of any future series may be signed
with the facsimile signature or signatures of an officer or officers of the
Company and may be sealed with the facsimile seal of the Company.

                                 ARTICLE THREE

                                  THE TRUSTEES

     Section 1.  The Trustees hereby accept and enter into this Indenture and 
the trusts hereby created.

     Section 2.  The Trustees shall be entitled, in connection with the
Indenture, to all of the exemptions and immunities granted to them, or either
of them, by the terms of the First Mortgage.

                                  ARTICLE FOUR

                 EFFECT OF THIS INDENTURE ON THE FIRST MORTGAGE

     The provisions of this Indenture shall become effective immediately upon
the execution and delivery of this Indenture and the First Mortgage shall
thereupon be deemed to be amended as set forth in this Indenture, as fully and
with the same effect as if the respective provisions of the First Mortgage, as
amended by this Indenture, had been set forth in said First Mortgage Indenture,
dated April 1, 1928, as originally executed; provided, however, that, at any
time prior to the issuance of any of the Series 1995 First Mortgage Bonds
provided for in and by this Indenture, the Company, when authorized by
resolution of its board of directors, may, and the Trustees in such event, upon
written request of the

President or any Vice President or the Treasurer of the Company, shall, enter
into an indenture supplemental to the First Mortgage, in form satisfactory to
the Corporate Trustee, and which thereafter shall form a part of the First
Mortgage, for the purpose of canceling this Indenture, and upon and after the
execution and delivery of such indenture supplemental to the First Mortgage,
this Indenture and all of the terms and provisions of this Indenture shall be
of no force or effect whatsoever.  Anything contained in this Indenture to the
contrary notwithstanding, however, no amendment of the First Mortgage made by
this Indenture shall affect, or so operate as to render invalid and improper,
any action heretofore taken under the First Mortgage.

     Except as specifically amended or supplemented by this Indenture, all of
the provisions of the First Mortgage shall remain and continue in full force
and effect and unaffected by the execution of this Indenture.

     This Indenture shall be construed in connection with, and as a part of,
the First Mortgage, and the covenants hereof shall be deemed, as to the subject
matter of such covenants, covenants of the First Mortgage.

     This Indenture may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which
shall be and shall be taken to be an original, and all collectively but one
instrument.

1.        Purpose.

          The purpose of the Inland 1984 Incentive Stock Plan (the "Plan") is
to attract and retain outstanding individuals as officers and key employees of
the "Company" (which, on and after May 1, 1986, shall be Inland Steel
Industries, Inc., and prior to that date shall be Inland Steel Company) and its
subsidiaries, and to furnish incentives to such individuals through rewards
based upon the ownership and performance of the common stock of the Company. To
this end, the Committee hereinafter designated may grant stock options, stock
appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, and performance awards, or
combinations thereof, to officers and other key employees of the Company and
its subsidiaries, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Plan.

2.        Participants.

          Participants in the Plan shall consist of such officers and other 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 awards or performance awards, either
singly or in combination, as the Committee may in its sole discretion
determine. Any director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries who is not
also an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall not be
eligible to receive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock
awards or performance awards under the Plan.

3.        Shares Reserved under the Plan.

          The maximum number of shares of common stock, $1.00 par value, of the
Company which may be issued pursuant to all grants made under the Plan shall
not exceed 800,000, of which no more than 300,000 shares shall be issued
pursuant to restricted stock awards and performance awards granted under the
Plan. Any shares subject to any grant which terminates by expiration,
cancellation or otherwise prior to the issuance of such shares or, in the case
of a restricted stock award, prior to vesting shall again be available for
future grants under the Plan. Shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to
grants under the Plan may be authorized and unissued shares of common stock,
treasury common stock, or any combination thereof.

4.        Administration of the Plan.

          The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee (the
"Committee") of the Board of Directors of the Company. No member of the
Committee shall be eligible to receive any grant, or shall have been eligible
to receive any grant for at least one year prior to becoming a member, under
the Plan or any other stock option, stock appreciation rights or other
incentive stock plan of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. Subject
to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have authority (i) to
determine which employees of the Company and its subsidiaries shall be eligible
for participation in the Plan; (ii) to select employees to receive grants under
the Plan; (iii) to determine the form of the grant, whether as a stock option,
stock appreciation right, restricted stock award, performance award or a
combination  thereof, the number of shares or units subject to the grant, the
time and conditions of exercise or vesting, the fair market value of the common
stock of the Company for purposes of the Plan, and all other terms and
conditions of any grant; and (iv) to prescribe the form of agreement,
certificate or other instrument evidencing the grant. The Committee shall also
have authority to interpret the Plan and to establish, amend and rescind rules
and regulations for the administration of the Plan, and all such
interpretations, rules and regulations shall be conclusive and binding on all
persons.

5.        Effective Date and Term of Plan.

          The Plan shall be submitted to the stockholders of the Company for
approval at the annual meeting to be held on April 25, 1984, or any adjournment
thereof, and, if approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority
of the shares of common stock and Series A $2.40 Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock of the Company (voting together and not as separate classes)
present in  person or by proxy, shall become effective on the date of such
approval. The Plan shall terminate five years after it becomes effective unless
terminated sooner by action of the Board of Directors.  No further grants may
be made under the Plan after termination, but termination shall not affect the
rights of any participant under, or the authority of the Committee with respect
to, any grants or awards made prior to termination.

6.        Stock Options.

          (a)    Grants.  Options to purchase shares of common stock of the
Company, including "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422A
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended (the "Code"), may be granted
from time to time to such officers and other key employees of the Company and
its subsidiaries as may be selected by the Committee.

          (b)    Terms of Options.  An option shall be exercisable in whole or
in such installments and at such times as may be deter-





                                     - 2 -
<PAGE>   3

mined by the Committee in its sole discretion, provided that no option shall be
exercisable less than one or more than ten years after the date of grant.  The
per share option price shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of
a share of common stock of the Company on the date the option is granted.  Upon
exercise, the option price may be paid in cash, in shares of common stock of
the Company having a fair market value equal to the option price, or in a
combination thereof.  The Committee may also allow the cashless exercise of
options by holders thereof, as permitted under regulations promulgated by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, subject to any applicable
restrictions necessary to comply with rules adopted by the Securities and
Exchange Commission, and the exercise of options by holders thereof by any
other means that the Committee determines to be consistent with the Plan's
purpose and applicable law, including loans, with or without interest, made by
the Company to the holder thereof.

          (c)    Restrictions Relating to Incentive Stock Options.  No
incentive stock option granted prior to January 1, 1987, may be exercised by an
optionee while there is outstanding (within the meaning of Section 422A(c)(7)
of the Code) any incentive stock option previously granted to such optionee to
purchase stock in the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or in a
corporation which is a predecessor to the Company or any subsidiary. The
aggregate fair market value (determined as of the time the option is granted)
of the common stock of the Company for which any employee may be granted
incentive stock options in any calendar year (under this Plan or any other plan
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries) shall not exceed $100,000 (or such
other individual grant limit as may be in effect under the Code on the date of
grant) plus any unused limit carryover to such year permitted under Section
422A of the Code.

          (d)    Termination of Employment.  If an optionee ceases to be
employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries by reason of (i) death, (ii)
physical or mental incapacity, (iii) retirement on or after the normal
retirement date provided for in and pursuant to any pension plan of the Company
or any subsidiary of the Company in effect at the time of such retirement, or
(iv) early retirement (with the consent of the Company) provided for in and
pursuant to any such pension plan, any option held by such optionee may be
exercised, with respect to all or any part of the common stock of the Company
as to which such option was not theretofore exercised (whether or not such
option was otherwise then exercisable), for a period ending on the first
anniversary of the date of such cessation of employment or the date of
expiration of such option, whichever first occurs.  If an optionee ceases to be
employed by the Company and any of its subsidiaries for any reason other than a
reason set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, any option held by such
optionee may be exercised for a period ending on the 30th day following the
date of such cessation of employment or the date of expiration of such option,
whichever first occurs,





                                     - 3 -
<PAGE>   4

but only with respect to that number of shares of common stock for which such
option was exercisable immediately prior to the date of cessation of
employment.

          (e)    Additional Terms and Conditions.  The agreement or instrument
evidencing the grant of a stock option may contain such other terms, provisions
and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the
Committee in its sole discretion.

7.        Stock Appreciation Rights.

          (a)    Grants.  Rights entitling the grantee to receive cash or
shares of common stock of the Company having a fair market value equal to the
appreciation in market value of a stated number of shares of such common stock
from the date of the grant to the date of exercise, or, in the case of rights
granted in tandem  with or by reference to a stock option granted prior to the
grant of such rights, from the date of grant of such related stock option to
the date of exercise, may be granted from time to time to such officers and
other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries as may be selected by
the Committee.

          (b)    Terms of Grant.  Such rights may be granted in tandem with or
by reference to a related stock option, in which event the grantee may elect to
exercise either the stock option or the rights, but not both, as to any of the
same shares subject to the stock option and the rights, or the rights may be
granted independently of a related stock option.  Rights granted in tandem with
or by reference to a related stock option shall be exercisable to the  extent,
and only to the extent, that the related option is exercisable, provided that
no such right (except in the case of death, or physical or mental incapacity)
shall be exercisable prior to the expiration of six months following the date
the right is granted.  Rights granted independently of a stock option shall be
exercisable in whole or in such installments and at such times as may be
determined by the Committee, provided that no right shall be exercisable less
than one or more than ten years after the date of grant.  Further, in the event
that any employee to whom rights are granted independently of a stock option
ceases to be an employee of the Company and its subsidiaries, such rights shall
be exercisable only to the extent and upon the conditions that stock options
are exercisable in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 6(d) of the
Plan.   The Committee may at any time of grant or at any time thereafter impose
such additional terms and conditions on the exercise of stock appreciation
rights as it deems necessary or desirable for compliance with section 16(a) or
16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations
thereunder.

          (c)    Payment on Exercise.  Upon exercise of a stock appreciation
right, the grantee shall be paid the excess of the then fair market value of
the number of shares of common stock of the Company





                                     - 4 -
<PAGE>   5

to which the right relates over the fair market value of such number of shares
at the date of grant of the right or of the related stock option, as the case
may be.  Such excess shall be paid in cash or in shares of common stock having
a fair market value equal to such excess, or in such combination thereof, as
may be provided in the grant of such right (which may permit the grantee to
elect between cash and common stock or to elect a combination thereof), or, if
no such provision is made in the grant, as the Committee shall determine upon
exercise of the right, provided, in any event, that the grantee shall be paid
cash in lieu of any fractional share of common stock to which such grantee
would otherwise be entitled. The number of shares which may be issued pursuant
to all grants under the Plan shall be reduced in connection with the exercise
of any stock appreciation right by the number of shares paid out pursuant to
such exercise.

          (d)    Additional Terms and Conditions.  The agreement or instrument
evidencing the grant of stock appreciation rights may contain such other terms,
provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined
by the Committee in its sole discretion.

8.        Restricted Stock Awards.

          Restricted stock awards consisting of shares of common stock of the
Company may be made from time to time to such officers and other key employees
of the Company and its subsidiaries as may be selected by the Committee,
provided that any such employee (except an employee whose terms of employment
include the granting of a restricted stock award) shall have been employed by
the Company or any of its subsidiaries for at least six months.  Such awards
shall be contingent on the employee's continuing employment with the Company or
its subsidiaries for a period to be specified in the award, which shall not be
less than one or more than ten years from the date of award, 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
restriction period. The Committee may in its sole discretion at the time of the
award or at any time thereafter provide for the early vesting of such award in
the event of termination of employment by retirement, death, incapacity or
otherwise prior to the end of the restriction period. The holder of a
restricted stock award shall have the right to vote the restricted shares and
to receive dividends thereon, unless and until such shares are forfeited.

9.        Performance Awards.

          (a)    Awards.  Performance awards consisting of monetary units or
units which are equivalent to shares of common stock of the Company may be made
from time to time to such officers and other key employees of the Company and
its subsidiaries as may be





                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>   6

selected by the Committee.  Such awards shall be contingent on the achievement
over a period of not less than three or more than ten years of such corporate,
division, subsidiary, group or other objectives as shall be established by the
Committee.  Such objectives shall be established by the Committee prior to the
beginning of the performance period, but may be revised by the Committee from
time to time during the performance period to take into account significant
unforeseen events or changes in circumstances.

          (b)    Termination of Employment.  Except as may otherwise be
determined by the Committee at the time of the award or at any time thereafter,
a performance award shall terminate if the holder of the award does not remain
continuously in the employ of the Company and its subsidiaries at all time
during the applicable performance period.

          (c)    Payment.  Following the end of the performance period, the
holder of a performance award shall be entitled to receive payment of an
amount, not exceeding the maximum value of the performance award established by
the Committee, based on the level of achievement of the objectives for the
performance period as determined by the Committee.  Payment may be made in
cash, shares of common stock, or a combination thereof, as determined by the
Committee.  Any payment to be made in common stock shall be based on the fair
market value of such stock on the payment date.

10.  Adjustments for Changes in Capitalization, Etc.

          Stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards,
and performance awards shall be subject to adjustment by the Committee in its
sole discretion as to the number, kind and price of shares or other
consideration subject to such grants in the event of changes in the outstanding
common stock by reason of stock dividends, stock splits, recapitalizations,
reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations, exchanges or other
relevant changes in corporate structure or capitalization occurring after the
date of the grant of any stock option, stock appreciation right, restricted
stock award or performance award.  In the event of any such change in the
outstanding common stock, the maximum number of shares which may be issued
pursuant to all grants under the Plan and pursuant to restricted stock awards
and performance awards may also be appropriately adjusted by the Committee.

11.  Effect of Liquidation, Merger, Consolidation or Other Events.

          Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, and notwithstanding any
other provisions of the Plan, each outstanding stock option and stock
appreciation right and each restricted stock award and performance award shall
automatically terminate upon the effective date of (i) the liquidation or
dissolution of the Company, (ii) any merger or consolidation in which the
Company is





                                     - 6 -
<PAGE>   7

not the surviving corporation or pursuant to which the common stock of the
Company does not remain outstanding, or (iii) the acquisition by another person
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; provided, however,
that the Committee in anticipation of any such event or any similar event, or
in the event of (a) the acquisition by any person of the beneficial ownership
of 25% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Company or (b) any
offer by any person to acquire any voting securities of the Company which, if
accepted, would result in the beneficial ownership by such person of 25% or
more of the outstanding voting securities of the Company, may accelerate the
time within which such stock options and stock appreciation rights may be
exercised as well as the time for the vesting of restricted stock and
performance awards.

12.  Amendment and Termination of Plan.

          The Plan may be amended or terminated by the Board of Directors of
the Company in any respect except that (other than pursuant to paragraph 10 of
the Plan) no amendment may be made without stockholder approval if such
amendment would increase the maximum number of shares available for issuance
pursuant to all grants under the Plan or pursuant to restricted stock awards
and performance awards.

13.  Miscellaneous.

          (a)    No Right to a Grant.  Neither the adoption of the Plan nor any
action of the Board of Directors or of the Committee shall be deemed to give
any employee any right to be selected as a participant or to be granted a stock
option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock award or performance award.

          (b)    Rights as Stockholder.  No person shall have any rights as a
stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares covered by a stock
option, stock appreciation right, or performance award until the date of the
issuance of a stock certificate to such person pursuant to such stock option
right or award.

          (c)    Employment.  Nothing contained in this Plan shall be deemed to
confer upon any employee any right of continued employment with the Company or
any of its subsidiaries or to limit or diminish in any way the right of the
Company or any such subsidiary to terminate his or her employment at any time
with or without cause.

          (d)    Taxes.  The Company shall be entitled to deduct from any
payment under the Plan the amount of any tax required by law to be withheld
with respect to such payment or may require any participant to pay such amount
to the Company prior to and as a condition of making such payment. In addition,
the Committee may, in its discretion and subject to such rules as it may adopt
from time to





                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>   8

time, permit a participant to elect to have the Company withhold from any
payment under the Plan (or to have the Company accept from the participant),
for tax withholding purposes, cash or shares of common stock of the Company,
valued at their fair market value, but in no event shall the cash or fair
market value of the number of shares so withheld (or accepted) exceed the
amount necessary to meet the maximum Federal, state and local marginal tax
rates then in effect that are applicable to the participant and to the
particular transaction.

          (e)    Nontransferability.  Except as permitted by the Committee, no
stock option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock award or performance
award shall be transferable except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution.  During the holder's lifetime, stock options and stock
appreciation rights shall be exercisable only by, and shares subject to
restricted stock awards and payments pursuant to performance awards shall be
delivered or made only to, such holder or such holder's duly appointed legal
representative.

                        INLAND 1988 INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN
                       AS AMENDED THROUGH MAY 24, 1995


1.   Purpose.

         The purpose of the Inland 1988 Incentive Stock Plan (the "Plan") is to
attract and retain outstanding individuals as officers and key employees of
Inland Steel Industries, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries, and to
furnish incentives to such individuals through rewards based upon the ownership
and performance of the common stock of the Company.  To this end, the Committee
hereinafter designated may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock awards, and performance awards, or combinations thereof, to
officers and other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Plan.

2.   Participants.

         Participants in the Plan shall consist of such officers and other 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 awards or performance awards, either
singly or in combination, as the Committee may determine in its sole
discretion.  Any director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries who is not
also an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall not be
eligible to receive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock
awards or performance awards under the Plan.  As used in the Plan, the term
"subsidiary" means (a) any corporation of which the Company owns or controls,
directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the outstanding shares of capital stock
entitled to vote for the election of directors or (b) any partnership, joint
venture, or other business entity in respect of which the Company, directly or
indirectly, has comparable ownership or control.

3.   Shares Reserved under the Plan.

         The maximum number of shares of common stock, $1.00 par value per
share, of the Company which may be issued pursuant to grants made under the
Plan shall not exceed 1,700,000 plus such number of shares as shall have been
authorized for issuance pursuant to the Inland 1984 Incentive Stock Plan
(heretofore approved by stockholders) and shall not have been or be issued
pursuant to such plan.   Any shares subject to any grant (including any grant
under the Inland 1984 Incentive Stock Plan) which terminates by expiration,
cancellation or otherwise without the issuance of such shares or without
payment thereunder, or in the case of a restricted stock award without vesting,
shall again be available for future grants under the Plan.  Shares of common
stock to be issued pursuant to grants under the Plan may be authorized and
unissued shares of common stock, treasury common stock, or any combination
thereof.
<PAGE>   2

4.   Administration of the Plan.

         The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee (the
"Committee") of the Board of Directors of the Company.  No member of the
Committee shall be eligible to receive any grant, or shall have been eligible
to receive any grant for at least one year prior to becoming a member, under
the Plan or any other stock option, stock appreciation rights or other
incentive stock plan of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company.  Subject
to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have authority (i) to
determine which employees of the Company and its subsidiaries shall be eligible
for participation in the Plan; (ii) to select employees to receive grants under
the Plan; (iii) to determine the form of grant, whether as a stock option,
stock appreciation right, restricted stock award, performance award or a
combination thereof, the number of shares or units subject to the grant, the
time and conditions of exercise or vesting, the fair market value of the common
stock of the Company for purposes of the Plan, and all other terms and
conditions of any grant; and (iv) to prescribe the form of agreement,
certificate or other instrument evidencing the grant.  The Committee shall also
have authority to interpret the Plan and to establish, amend and rescind rules
and regulations for the administration of the Plan, and all such
interpretations, rules and regulations shall be conclusive and binding on all
persons.

5.   Effective Date of Plan.

         The Plan shall be submitted to the stockholders of the Company for
approval at the annual meeting to be held on April 27, 1988, or any adjournment
thereof, and, if approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority
of the shares of common stock and Series A $2.40 Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock of the Company, voting as a single class, represented in person
or by proxy, shall be deemed to have become effective on the date of such
approval.

6.   Stock Options.

         (a)     Grants.  Options to purchase shares of common stock of the
Company, including "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422A
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), may be granted
from time to time to such officers and other key employees of the Company and
its subsidiaries as may be selected by the Committee.

         (b)     Terms of Options.  An option shall be exercisable in whole or
in such installments and at such times as may be determined by the Committee in
its sole discretion, provided that no option shall be exercisable less than one
or more than ten years after the date of grant.  The per share option price
shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of common stock
of the Company on the date the option is granted.  Upon exercise, the option
price may be paid in cash, in shares of common stock of





                                     - 2 -
<PAGE>   3

the Company having a fair market value equal to the option price, or in a
combination thereof.  The Committee may also allow the cashless exercise of
options by holders thereof, as permitted under regulations promulgated by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, subject to any applicable
restrictions necessary to comply with rules adopted by the Securities and
Exchange Commission, and the exercise of options by holders thereof by any
other means that the Committee determines to be consistent with the Plan's
purpose and applicable law, including loans, with or without interest, made by
the Company to the holder thereof.

         (c)     Restrictions Relating to Incentive Stock Options.  To the
extent required by the Code, the aggregate fair market value (determined as of
the time the option is granted) of the common stock of the Company with respect
to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by an
employee during any calendar year (under this Plan or any other plan of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries) shall not exceed $100,000.

         (d)     Termination of Employment.  If an optionee ceases to be
employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries by reason of (i) death, (ii)
physical or mental incapacity, (iii) retirement on or after the normal
retirement date provided for in and pursuant to any pension plan of the Company
or any subsidiary of the Company in effect at the time of such retirement, or
(iv) early retirement (with the consent of the Committee) provided for in and
pursuant to any such pension plan, any option held by such optionee may be
exercised, with respect to all or any part of the common stock of the Company
as to which such option was not theretofore exercised (whether or not such
option was otherwise then exercisable), for a period ending on the third
anniversary of the date of such cessation of employment or the date of
expiration of such option, whichever first occurs.  If an optionee ceases to be
employed by the Company and any of its subsidiaries for any reason other than a
reason set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, any option held by such
optionee may be exercised for a period ending on the 30th day following the
date of such cessation of employment or the date of expiration of such option,
whichever first occurs, but only with respect to that number of shares of
common stock for which such option was exercisable immediately prior to the
date of cessation of employment.

         (e)     Additional Terms and Conditions.  The agreement or instrument
evidencing the grant of a stock option may contain such other terms, provisions
and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the
Committee in its sole discretion.

7.   Stock Appreciation Rights.

         (a)     Grants.  Rights entitling the grantee to receive cash or
shares of common stock of the Company having a fair market value equal to the
appreciation in market value of a stated number of shares of such common stock
from the date of the grant to the date





                                     - 3 -
<PAGE>   4

of exercise, or, in the case of rights granted in tandem with or by reference
to a stock option granted prior to the grant of such rights, from the date of
grant of such related stock option to the date of exercise, may be granted from
time to time to such officers and other key employees of the Company and its
subsidiaries as may be selected by the Committee.

         (b)     Terms of Grant.  Such rights may be granted in tandem with or
by reference to a related stock option, in which event the grantee may elect to
exercise either the stock option or the right, but not both, as to the shares
subject to the stock option and the right, or the right may be granted
independently of a stock option.  Rights granted in tandem with or by reference
to a related stock option shall be exercisable to the extent, and only to the
extent, that the related option is exercisable, provided that no such right
(except in the case of death or physical or mental incapacity) shall be
exercisable prior to the expiration of six months following the date the right
is granted.  Rights granted independently of a stock option shall be
exercisable in whole or in such installments and at such times as may be
determined by the Committee, provided that no right shall be exercisable less
than one or more than ten years after the date of grant.  Further, in the event
that any employee to whom rights are granted independently of a stock option
ceases to be an employee of the Company and its subsidiaries, such rights shall
be exercisable only to the extent and upon the conditions that stock options
are exercisable in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of Section 6
of the Plan.  The Committee may at the time of grant or at any time thereafter
impose such additional terms and conditions on the exercise of stock
appreciation rights as it deems necessary or desirable for compliance with
Section 16(a) or Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder.

         (c)     Payment on Exercise.  Upon exercise of a stock appreciation
right, the grantee shall be paid the excess of the then fair market value of
the number of shares of common stock of the Company to which the right relates
over the fair market value of such number of shares at the date of grant of the
right or of the related stock option, as the case may be.  Such excess shall be
paid in cash or in shares of common stock having a fair market value equal to
such excess, or in such combination thereof, as may be provided in the grant of
such right (which may permit the grantee to elect between cash and common stock
or to elect a combination thereof) or, if no such provision is made in the
grant, as the Committee shall determine upon exercise of the right, provided,
in any event, that the grantee shall be paid cash in lieu of any fractional
share of common stock to which such grantee would otherwise be entitled.  The
number of shares which may be issued pursuant to grants under the Plan shall be
reduced in connection with the exercise of any stock appreciation right by the
number of shares with respect to which such right is exercised.





                                     - 4 -
<PAGE>   5

         (d)     Additional Terms and Conditions.  The agreement or instrument
evidencing the grant of stock appreciation rights may contain such other terms,
provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined
by the Committee in its sole discretion.

8.   Restricted Stock Awards.

         Restricted stock awards consisting of shares of common stock of the
Company may be made from time to time to such officers and other key employees
of the Company and its subsidiaries as may be selected by the Committee,
provided that any such employee (except an employee whose terms of employment
include the granting of a restricted stock award) shall have been employed by
the Company or any of its subsidiaries for at least six months.  Such awards
shall be contingent on the employee's continuing employment with the Company or
its subsidiaries for a period to be specified in the award, which shall not be
less than one or more than ten years from the date of award, 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
restriction period.  The Committee may in its sole discretion at the time of
the award or at any time thereafter provide for the early vesting of such award
in the event of termination of employment by retirement, death, incapacity or
otherwise prior to the end of the restriction period.  The holder of a
restricted stock award shall have the right to vote the restricted shares and
to receive dividends thereon, unless and until such shares are forfeited.

9.   Performance Awards.

         (a)     Awards.  Performance awards consisting of (i) shares of common
stock of the Company, (ii) monetary units or (iii) units which are expressed in
terms of shares of common stock of the Company may be made from time to time to
such officers and other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries as
may be selected by the Committee.  Such awards shall be contingent on the
achievement over a period of not less than one or more than ten years of such
corporate, division, subsidiary, group or other objectives as shall be
established by the Committee.  Such objectives may be revised by the Committee
at any time and from time to time during the performance period to take into
account significant unforeseen events or changes in circumstances.  Except as
may otherwise be determined by the Committee at the time of the award or at any
time thereafter, a performance award shall terminate if the holder of the award
does not remain continuously in the employ of the Company or its subsidiaries
at all times during the applicable performance period.

         (b)     Rights with Respect to Shares and Share Units.  If a
performance award consists of shares of common stock of the Company





                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>   6

or units which are expressed in terms of shares of such common stock, amounts
equal to dividends otherwise payable on a like number of shares may, if the
award so provides, be converted into additional such shares (to the extent that
shares are then available for issuance under the Plan) or credited as
additional units and paid to the participant if and when, and to the extent
that, payment is made pursuant to such award.


         (c)     Payment.  Payment of a performance award following the end of
the performance period, if such award consists of monetary units or units
expressed in terms of shares of common stock of the Company, may be made in
cash, shares of common stock, or a combination thereof, as determined by the
Committee.  Any payment made in common stock shall be based on the fair market
value of such stock on the payment date.  In the case of any payment made in
whole or in part in cash (other than amounts attributable to dividend
equivalents payable in cash), the number of shares of common stock which may be
issued pursuant to grants under the Plan shall be reduced by that number of
shares of such stock (including any fraction as a whole share) having a fair
market value that is equal to the amount of such cash.

10.    Adjustments for Changes in Capitalization, Etc.

          Subject to the provisions of Section 11 of the Plan, stock options,
stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, and performance awards
shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee as to the number, kind and
price of shares or other consideration subject to such grants in the event of
changes in the outstanding common stock by reason of stock dividends, stock
splits, recapitalizations, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations,
combinations, exchanges or other relevant changes in capitalization occurring
after the date of the grant of any stock option, stock appreciation right,
restricted stock award or performance award.  In the event of any such change
in the outstanding common stock, the maximum number of shares which may be
issued pursuant to grants under the Plan shall also be appropriately adjusted
by the Committee.  No adjustment to either (i) the number or price of shares of
common stock subject to incentive stock options or (ii) the maximum number of
shares which may be issued pursuant to incentive stock options shall be
permitted hereunder to the extent that such adjustment would cause an incentive
stock option to be considered as modified or the Plan to be treated as newly
adopted under the Code.

11.    Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Liquidation and Certain Other
       Events.

          (a)      Acceleration of Benefits.  In the event of a "Change of
Control" as defined in paragraph (b) of this Section 11, (i) the value of all
outstanding stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock
awards (whether or not then fully exercisable or vested) shall be cashed out on
the basis of the "Change of





                                     - 6 -
<PAGE>   7

Control Price" (as defined in paragraph (c) of this Section 11) as of the date
the Change of Control occurs, provided, however, that any stock options or
stock appreciation rights outstanding for less than six months shall not be
cashed out until six months after the respective date of grant, and provided,
further, that the Committee may provide for the immediate vesting instead of
the cashing out of restricted stock awards in such circumstances as it deems
appropriate; and (ii) all outstanding performance awards shall be cashed out in
such manner and in such amount or amounts as determined by the Committee in its
sole discretion at the time such awards are made.

          (b)      Change of Control.  For purposes of this Section 11, a
Change of Control means the happening of any of the following: (i) the Company
is merged into or consolidated with another corporation, or the stockholders of
the Company approve a definitive agreement to sell or otherwise dispose of all
or substantially all of its assets or adopt a plan of liquidation, provided,
however, that a Change of Control shall not be deemed to have occurred by
reason of a transaction, or a substantially concurrent or otherwise related
series of transactions, upon the completion of which the beneficial ownership
of the voting power of the Company, the surviving corporation or corporation
directly or indirectly controlling the Company or the surviving corporation, as
the case may be, is held only by the same persons (as defined below) (although
not necessarily in the same proportion) as held the beneficial ownership of the
voting power of the Company immediately prior to the transaction or the
substantially concurrent or otherwise related series of transactions, except
that upon the completion thereof, employees or employee benefit plans of the
Company may be a new holder of such beneficial ownership; or (ii) the
"beneficial ownership" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) of securities representing 30% or
more of the combined voting power of the Company is acquired by any "person" as
defined in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act (other than any trustee
or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit or other
similar stock plan of the Company); or (iii) at any time during any period of
two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period were
members of the Board of Directors of the Company cease for any reason to
constitute at least a majority thereof (unless the election, or the nomination
for election by the Company's stockholders, of each new director was approved
by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors still in office at the time
of such election or nomination who were directors at the beginning of such
period).

          (c)      Change of Control Price.  For purposes of this Section 11,
Change of Control Price means (i) with respect to a Change of Control by reason
of a merger or consolidation of the Company described in paragraph (b)(i) of
this Section 11 in which the consideration per share of the Company's common
stock to be paid for the acquisition of shares of common stock specified in the





                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>   8

agreement of merger or consolidation is all in cash, the highest such
consideration per share, (ii) with respect to a Change of Control by reason of
an acquisition of securities described in paragraph (b)(ii) of this Section 11,
the highest price per share for any share of the Company's common stock paid by
any holder of any of the securities representing 30% or more of the combined
voting power of the Company giving rise to the Change of Control, and (iii)
with respect to a Change of Control by reason of a merger or consolidation of
the Company (other than a merger or consolidation described in paragraph (c)(i)
of this Section 11), stockholder approval of an agreement or plan described in
paragraph (b)(i) of this Section 11 or a change in the composition of the Board
of Directors described in paragraph (b)(iii) of this Section 11, the highest
price per share of common stock reported on the New York Stock Exchange
Composite Tape (or, if such shares are not traded on the New York Stock
Exchange, such other principal market on which such shares are traded) during
the sixty-day period ending on the date the Change of Control occurs, except
that, in the case of incentive stock options and stock appreciation rights
relating to incentive stock options, the holder may not receive an amount in
excess of the maximum amount that will enable such option to continue to
qualify as an incentive stock option.

12.    Amendment and Termination of Plan.

          The Plan may be amended by the Board of Directors of the Company in
any respect, provided that, without stockholder approval, no amendment (other
than pursuant to Section 10 of the Plan) shall increase the maximum number of
shares available for issuance under the Plan.  In addition, no amendment may
impair the rights of a participant under any stock option, stock appreciation
right, restricted stock award or performance award previously granted under the
Plan without the consent of such participant, unless required by law.  The Plan
may also be terminated at any time by the Board of Directors.  No further
grants may be made under the Plan after termination, but termination shall not
affect the rights of any participant under, or the authority of the Committee
with respect to, any grants or awards made prior to termination.

13.    Prior Plan.

          Upon the effectiveness of this Plan, no further grants shall be made
under the Inland 1984 Incentive Stock Plan.  The discontinuance of the Inland
1984 Incentive Stock Plan shall not affect the rights of any participant under,
or the authority of the Committee (therein referred to) with respect to, any
grants or awards made thereunder prior to such discontinuance.

14.    Miscellaneous.

          (a)      No Right to a Grant.  Neither the adoption of the Plan nor
any action of the Board of Directors or of the Committee shall





                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>   9

be deemed to give any employee any right to be selected as a participant or to
be granted a stock option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock award or
performance award.

          (b)      Rights as Stockholders.  No person shall have any rights as
a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares covered by a stock
option, stock appreciation right, or performance award until the date of the
issuance of a stock certificate to such person pursuant to such stock option,
right or award.

          (c)      Employment.  Nothing contained in this Plan shall be deemed
to confer upon any employee any right of continued employment with the Company
or any of its subsidiaries or to limit or diminish in any way the right of the
Company or any such subsidiary to terminate his or her employment at any time
with or without cause.

          (d)      Taxes.  The Company shall be entitled to deduct from any
payment under the Plan the amount of any tax required by law to be withheld
with respect to such payment or may require any participant to pay such amount
to the Company prior to and as a condition of making such payment.  In
addition, the Committee may, in its discretion and subject to such rules as it
may adopt from time to time, permit a participant to elect to have the Company
withhold from any payment under the Plan (or to have the Company accept from
the participant), for tax withholding purposes, cash or shares of common stock
of the Company, valued at their fair market value, but in no event shall the
cash or the fair market value of the number of shares so withheld (or accepted)
exceed the amount necessary to meet the maximum Federal, state and local
marginal tax rates then in effect that are applicable to the participant and to
the particular transaction.

          (e)      Nontransferability.  Except as permitted by the Committee,
no stock option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock award or
performance award shall be transferable except by will or the laws of descent
and distribution.  During the holder's lifetime, stock options and stock
appreciation rights shall be exercisable only by, and shares subject to
restricted stock awards and payments pursuant to performance awards shall be
delivered or made only to, such holder or such holder's duly appointed legal
representative.

                        INLAND 1992 INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN

                        AS AMENDED THROUGH MAY 24, 1995



1.   PURPOSE.

         The purpose of the Inland 1992 Incentive Stock Plan (the "Plan") is to
attract and retain outstanding individuals as officers and key employees of
Inland Steel Industries, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries, and to
furnish incentives to such individuals through rewards based upon the ownership
and performance of the common stock of the Company. To this end, the Committee
hereinafter designated may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock awards, and performance awards, or combinations thereof, to
officers and other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Plan.

2.   PARTICIPANTS.

         Participants in the Plan shall consist of such officers and other 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 awards or performance awards, either
singly or in combination, as the Committee may determine in its sole
discretion.  Any director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries who is not
also an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall not be
eligible to receive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock
awards or performance awards under the Plan.  As used in the Plan, the term
"subsidiary" means (a) any corporation of which the Company owns or controls,
directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the outstanding shares of capital stock
entitled to vote for the election of directors or (b) any partnership, joint
venture, or other business entity in respect of which the Company, directly or
indirectly, has comparable ownership or control.

3.   SHARES RESERVED UNDER THE PLAN.

         The maximum number of shares of common stock, $1.00 par value per
share, of the Company which may be issued pursuant to grants or awards made
under the Plan shall not exceed 2,200,000, subject, however, to adjustment
pursuant to the provisions of Section 10 of the Plan.  Except to the extent
otherwise determined by the Committee, any shares subject to any grant or award
which terminates by expiration, cancellation or otherwise without the issuance
of such shares or which is settled in cash (to the extent so settled), or in
the case of a restricted stock award without vesting, shall again be available
for future grants under the Plan.  Shares of common stock to be issued pursuant
to grants under the Plan may be authorized and unissued shares of common stock,
treasury common stock, or any combination thereof.
<PAGE>   2

4.   ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.

         The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee (the
"Committee") of the Board of Directors of the Company.  No member of the
Committee shall be eligible to receive any grant, or shall have been eligible
to receive any grant for at least one year prior to becoming a member, under
the Plan or any other stock option, stock appreciation rights or other
incentive stock plan for employees of the Company or any subsidiary of the
Company.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have
authority (i) to determine which employees of the Company and its subsidiaries
shall be eligible for participation in the Plan; (ii) to select employees to
receive grants under the Plan; (iii) to determine the form of grant, whether as
a stock option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock award, performance
award or a combination thereof, the number of shares or units subject to the
grant, the time and conditions of exercise or vesting, the fair market value of
the common stock of the Company for purposes of the Plan, and all other terms
and conditions of any grant; and (iv) to prescribe the form of agreement,
certificate or other instrument evidencing the grant.  The Committee shall also
have authority to interpret the Plan and to establish, amend and rescind rules
and regulations for the administration of the Plan, and all such
interpretations, rules and regulations shall be conclusive and binding on all
persons.

5.   EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN.

         The Plan shall be submitted to the stockholders of the Company for
approval at the annual meeting to be held on April 22, 1992, or any adjournment
thereof, and, if approved by the stockholders, shall be deemed to have become
effective on the date of such approval.

6.   STOCK OPTIONS.

         (A) GRANTS.  Options to purchase shares of common stock of the
Company, including "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), may be granted
from time to time to such officers and other key employees of the Company and
its subsidiaries as may be selected by the Committee.

         (B) TERMS OF OPTIONS.  An option shall be exercisable in whole or in
such installments and at such times as may be determined by the Committee in
its sole discretion, provided that no option shall be exercisable less than one
or more than ten years after the date of grant.  The per share option price
shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of common stock
of the Company on the date the option is granted.  Upon exercise, the option
price may be paid in cash, in shares of common stock of the Company having a
fair market value equal to the option price, or in a combination thereof.  The
Committee may also allow the cashless exercise of options by holders thereof,
as permitted under regulations promulgated by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, subject to any applicable restrictions necessary to
comply with rules adopted by the Securities and





                                     - 2 -
<PAGE>   3

Exchange Commission, and the exercise of options by holders thereof by any
other means that the Committee determines to be consistent with the Plan's
purpose and applicable law, including loans, with or without interest, made by
the Company to the holder thereof.

         (C) RESTRICTIONS RELATING TO INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS.  To the extent
required by the Code, the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the
time the option is granted) of the common stock of the Company with respect to
which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by an employee
during any calendar year (under the Plan or any other plan of the Company or
any of its subsidiaries) shall not exceed $100,000.

         (D) TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.  If an optionee ceases to be employed
by the Company or any of its subsidiaries by reason of (i) death, (ii) physical
or mental incapacity, (iii) retirement on or after the normal retirement date
provided for in and pursuant to any pension plan of the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company in effect at the time of such retirement, or (iv)
early retirement (with the consent of the Committee) provided for in and
pursuant to any such pension plan, any option held by such optionee may be
exercised, with respect to all or any part of the common stock of the Company
as to which such option was not theretofore exercised (whether or not such
option was otherwise then exercisable), for such period from and after the date
of such cessation of employment (not extending, however, beyond the date of
expiration of such option) as the Committee may determine at the time of the
grant.  If an optionee ceases to be employed by the Company and any of its
subsidiaries for any reason other than a reason set forth in the immediately
preceding sentence, any option held by such optionee may be exercised for a
period ending on the 30th day following the date of such cessation of
employment or the date of expiration of such option, whichever first occurs,
but only with respect to that number of shares of common stock for which such
option was exercisable immediately prior to the date of cessation of
employment.

         (E) ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS.  The agreement or instrument
evidencing the grant of a stock option may contain such other terms, provisions
and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the
Committee in its sole discretion.

7.   STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

         (A) GRANTS.  Rights entitling the grantee to receive cash or shares of
common stock of the Company having a fair market value equal to the
appreciation in market value of a stated number of shares of such common stock
from the date of the grant to the date of exercise, or, in the case of rights
granted in tandem with or by reference to a stock option granted prior to the
grant of such rights, from the date of grant of such related stock option to
the date of exercise, may be granted from time to time to such officers and
other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries as may be selected by
the Committee.

         (B) TERMS OF GRANT.  Such rights may be granted in tandem with or by
reference to a related stock option, in which event the grantee may elect to
exercise either the stock





                                     - 3 -
<PAGE>   4

option or the right, but not both, as to the shares subject to the stock option
and the right, or the right may be granted independently of a stock option.
Rights granted in tandem with or by reference to a related stock option shall
be exercisable to the extent, and only to the extent, that the related option
is exercisable, provided that no such right (except in the case of death or
physical or mental incapacity) shall be exercisable prior to the expiration of
six months following the date the right is granted.  Rights granted
independently of a stock option shall be exercisable in whole or in such
installments and at such times as may be determined by the Committee, provided
that no right shall be exercisable less than one or more than ten years after
the date of grant.  Further, in the event that any employee to whom rights are
granted independently of a stock option ceases to be an employee of the Company
and its subsidiaries, such rights shall be exercisable only to the extent and
upon the conditions that stock options are exercisable in accordance with the
provisions of paragraph (d) of Section 6 of the Plan.  The Committee may at the
time of grant or at any time thereafter impose such additional terms and
conditions on the exercise of stock appreciation rights as it deems necessary
or desirable for compliance with Section 16(a) or Section 16(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations
thereunder.

         (C) PAYMENT ON EXERCISE.  Upon exercise of a stock appreciation right,
the grantee shall be paid the excess of the then fair market value of the
number of shares of common stock of the Company to which the right relates over
the fair market value of such number of shares at the date of grant of the
right or of the related stock option, as the case may be. Such excess shall be
paid in cash or in shares of common stock having a fair market value equal to
such excess, or in such combination thereof, as may be provided in the grant of
such right (which may permit the grantee to elect between cash and common stock
or to elect a combination thereof), or, if no such provision is made in the
grant, as the Committee shall determine upon exercise of the right, provided,
in any event, that the grantee shall be paid cash in lieu of any fractional
share of common stock to which such grantee would otherwise be entitled.  The
number of shares which may be issued pursuant to grants under the Plan shall be
reduced in connection with the exercise of any stock appreciation right by the
number of shares issued pursuant to such exercise.


         (D) ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS.  The agreement or instrument
evidencing the grant of stock appreciation rights may contain such other terms,
provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined
by the Committee in its sole discretion.

8.   RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS.

         Restricted stock awards consisting of shares of common stock of the
Company may be made from time to time to such officers and other key employees
of the Company and its subsidiaries as may be selected by the Committee,
provided that any such employee (except an employee whose terms of employment
include the granting of a restricted stock award) shall have been employed by
the Company or any of its subsidiaries for at least six months. Such awards
shall be contingent on the employee's continuing employment with the





                                     - 4 -
<PAGE>   5

Company or its subsidiaries for a period to be specified in the award, which
shall not be less than one or more than ten years from the date of award, 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
restriction period.  The Committee may in its sole discretion at the time of
the award or at any time thereafter provide for the early vesting of such award
in the event of termination of employment by retirement, death, incapacity or
otherwise prior to the end of the restriction period. Except as otherwise
determined by the Committee at the time of the award, the holder of a
restricted stock award shall have the right to vote the restricted shares and
to receive dividends thereon, unless and until such shares are forfeited.

9.       PERFORMANCE AWARDS.

                 (A) AWARDS.  Performance awards consisting of (i) shares of
common stock of the Company, (ii) monetary units or (iii) units which are
expressed in terms of shares of common stock of the Company may be made from
time to time to such officers and other key employees of the Company and its
subsidiaries as may be selected by the Committee. Such awards shall be
contingent on the achievement over a period of not less than one or more than
ten years of such corporate, division, subsidiary, group or other objectives as
shall be established by the Committee.  Such objectives may be revised by the
Committee at any time and from time to time during the performance period to
take into account significant unforeseen events or changes in circumstances.
Except as may otherwise be determined by the Committee at the time of the award
or at any time thereafter, a performance award shall terminate if the holder of
the award does not remain continuously in the employ of the Company or its
subsidiaries at all times during the applicable performance period.

                 (B) RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO SHARES AND SHARE UNITS.  If a
performance award consists of shares of common stock of the Company or units
which are expressed in terms of shares of such common stock, amounts equal to
dividends otherwise payable on a like number of shares may, if the award so
provides, be converted into additional such shares (to the extent that shares
are then available for issuance under the Plan) or credited as additional units
and paid to the participant if and when, and to the extent that, payment is
made pursuant to such award.

                 (C) PAYMENT.  Payment of a performance award following the end
of the performance period, if such award consists of monetary units or units
expressed in terms of shares of common stock of the Company, may be made in
cash, shares of common stock, or a combination thereof, as determined by the
Committee.  Any payment made in common stock shall be based on the fair market
value of such stock on the payment date.

10.      ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION, ETC.

                 Subject to the provisions of Section 11 of the Plan, stock
options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, and performance
awards may be appropriately adjusted by





                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>   6

the Committee as to the number, kind and price of shares or other consideration
subject to such grants in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, spinoffs
or other distributions of assets (other than normal cash dividends),
recapitalizations, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations,
exchanges or other relevant changes in corporate structure or capitalization
occurring after the date of the grant of any stock option, stock appreciation
right, restricted stock award or performance award.  In any such event, the
maximum number of shares which may be issued pursuant to grants under the Plan
may also be appropriately adjusted by the Committee.

11.      EFFECT OF MERGER, CONSOLIDATION, LIQUIDATION AND CERTAIN OTHER EVENTS.

                 (A) ACCELERATION OF BENEFITS.  In the event of a "Change in
Control" as defined in paragraph (b) of this Section 11, (i) the value of all
outstanding stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock
awards (whether or not then fully exercisable or vested) shall be cashed out on
the basis of the "Change in Control Price" (as defined in paragraph (c) of this
Section 11) as of the date the Change in Control occurs, provided, however,
that any stock options or stock appreciation rights outstanding for less than
six months shall not be cashed out until six months after the respective date
of grant, and provided, further, that the Committee may provide for the
immediate vesting instead of the cashing out of restricted stock awards in such
circumstances as it deems appropriate; and (ii) all outstanding performance
awards shall be cashed out in such manner and in such amount or amounts as
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion at the time such awards are
made.

                 (B) CHANGE IN CONTROL.  For purposes of this Section 11, a
Change in Control means the happening of any of the following: (i) the Company
is merged into or consolidated with another corporation, or the stockholders of
the Company approve a definitive agreement to sell or otherwise dispose of all
or substantially all of its assets or adopt a plan of liquidation, provided,
however, that a Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred by
reason of a transaction, or a substantially concurrent or otherwise related
series of transactions, upon the completion of which the beneficial ownership
of the voting power of the Company, the surviving corporation or corporation
directly or indirectly controlling the Company or the surviving corporation, as
the case may be, is held only by the same persons (as defined below) (although
not necessarily in the same proportion) as held the beneficial ownership of the
voting power of the Company immediately prior to the transaction or the
substantially concurrent or otherwise related series of transactions, except
that upon the completion thereof, employees or employee benefit plans of the
Company may be a new holder of such beneficial ownership or (ii) the
"beneficial ownership" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) of securities representing 40% or
more of the combined voting power of the Company is acquired by any "person" as
defined in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act (other than any trustee
or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit or other
similar stock plan of the Company); or (iii) at any time during any period of
two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period were





                                     - 6 -

members of the Board of Directors of the Company cease for any reason to
constitute at least a majority thereof (unless the election, or the nomination
for election by the Company's stockholders, of each new director was approved
by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors still in office at the time
of such election or nomination who were directors at the beginning of such
period).

                 (C) CHANGE IN CONTROL PRICE.  For purposes of this Section 11,
Change in Control Price means (i) with respect to a Change in Control by reason
of a merger or consolidation of the Company described in paragraph (b)(i) of
this Section 11 in which the consideration per share of the Company's common
stock to be paid for the acquisition of shares of common stock specified in the
agreement of merger or consolidation is all in cash, the highest such
consideration per share, (ii) with respect to a Change in Control by reason of
an acquisition of securities described in paragraph (b)(ii) of this Section 11,
the highest price per share for any share of the Company's common stock paid by
any holder of any of the securities representing 40% or more of the combined
voting power of the Company giving rise to the Change in Control, and (iii)
with respect to a Change in Control by reason of a merger or consolidation of
the Company (other than a merger or consolidation described in paragraph (c)(i)
of this Section 11), stockholder approval of an agreement or plan described in
paragraph (b)(i) of this Section 11 or a change in the composition of the Board
of Directors described in paragraph (b)(iii) of this Section 11, the highest
price per share of common stock reported on the New York Stock Exchange
Composite Tape (or, if such shares are not traded on the New York Stock
Exchange, such other principal market on which such shares are traded) during
the sixty-day period ending on the date the Change in Control occurs, except
that, in the case of incentive stock options and stock appreciation rights
relating to incentive stock options, the holder may not receive an amount in
excess of the maximum amount that will enable such option to continue to
qualify as an incentive stock option.

12.      AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN.

                 The Plan may be amended by the Board of Directors of the
Company in any respect, provided that, without stockholder approval, no
amendment (other than pursuant to Section 10 of the Plan) shall increase the
maximum number of shares available for issuance under the Plan.  In addition,
no amendment may impair the rights of a participant under any stock option,
stock appreciation right, restricted stock award or performance award
previously granted under the Plan without the consent of such participant,
unless required by law.  The Plan may also be terminated at any time by the
Board of Directors.  No further grants may be made under the Plan after
termination, but termination shall not affect the rights of any participant
under, or the authority of the Committee with respect to, any grants or awards
made prior to termination.


13.      PRIOR PLAN.

                 Upon the effectiveness of this Plan, no further grants shall
be made under the Inland 1988 Incentive Stock Plan.  The discontinuance of the
Inland 1988 Incentive Stock Plan shall





                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>   8

not affect the rights of any participant under, or the authority of the
Committee (therein referred to) with respect to, any grants or awards made
thereunder prior to such discontinuance.

14.      MISCELLANEOUS.

                 (A) NO RIGHT TO A GRANT.  Neither the adoption of the Plan nor
any action of the Board of Directors or of the Committee shall be deemed to
give any employee any right to be selected as a participant or to be granted a
stock option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock award or performance
award.

                 (B) RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDERS.  No person shall have any rights
as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares covered by a stock
option, stock appreciation right, or performance award until the date of the
issuance of a stock certificate to such person pursuant to such stock option,
right or award.

                 (C) EMPLOYMENT.  Nothing contained in this Plan shall be
deemed to confer upon any employee any right of continued employment with the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or to limit or diminish in any way the right
of the Company or any such subsidiary to terminate his or her employment at any
time with or without cause.

                 (D) TAXES.  The Company shall be entitled to deduct from any
payment under the Plan the amount of any tax required by law to be withheld
with respect to such payment or may require any participant to pay such amount
to the Company prior to and as a condition of making such payment.  In
addition, the Committee may, in its discretion and subject to such rules as it
may adopt from time to time, permit a participant to elect to have the Company
withhold from any payment under the Plan (or to have the Company accept from
the participant), for tax withholding purposes, shares of common stock of the
Company, valued at their fair market value, but in no event shall the fair
market value of the number of shares so withheld (or accepted) exceed the
amount necessary to meet the maximum Federal, state and local marginal tax
rates then in effect that are applicable to the participant and to the
particular transaction.

                 (E) NONTRANSFERABILITY.  Except as permitted by the Committee,
no stock option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock award or
performance award shall be transferable except by will or the laws of descent
and distribution.  During the holder's lifetime, stock options and stock
appreciation rights shall be exercisable only by, and shares subject to
restricted stock awards and payments pursuant to performance awards shall be
delivered or made only to, such holder or such holder's duly appointed legal
representative.

                          date elected by the Participant which is not later

Participant, such Participant shall be entitled to a distribution of such
portion (or all) of his Account balance as shall be necessary to meet such
hardship.  This Section 5.03 shall be administered in a manner consistent with
the hardship withdrawal provisions of the Qualified Thrift Plan.  The Plan
Administrator's determination of a Participant's hardship hereunder shall be

<PAGE>   7

                 (e)      to furnish the Company, upon request, such reports
                          with respect to the administration of the Plan as are
                          reasonable and appropriate;

                 (f)      to receive, review and keep on file (as it deems
                          convenient and proper) reports of benefit payments by
                          the Company and reports of disbursements for expenses
                          directed by the Plan Administrator;

                 (g)      to appoint individuals to assist in the
                          administration of the Plan and any other agents it
                          deems advisable, including legal counsel; and

                 (h)      to name as an Assistant Plan Administrator any
                          individual or individuals and to delegate such
                          authority and duties to such individual as the Plan
                          Administrator in its discretion deems advisable.
                          Each Assistant Plan Administrator, if any, named
                          pursuant to this paragraph shall have such authority
                          to act with respect to the administration of the Plan
                          as the Plan Administrator may prescribe.  The
                          incumbency of any Assistant Plan Administrator may be
                          terminated by action of the Plan Administrator at any
                          time, with or without cause.  Notwithstanding the
                          foregoing, in the absence of a formal designation of
                          any Assistant Plan Administrator by the Plan
                          Administrator, no provision of this paragraph shall
                          prevent the Plan Administrator from delegating
                          authority to employees or other agents of the Company
                          in executing the duties of administering the Plan.

         The Plan Administrator shall have no power to add to, subtract from or
modify any of the terms of the Plan, or to change or add to any benefits
provided by the Plan, or to waive or fail to apply any requirements of
eligibility for a benefit under the Plan.

         6.04    Rules and Decisions.  The Plan Administrator may adopt such
rules as it deems necessary, desirable or appropriate.  All rules and decisions
of the Plan Administrator shall be uniformly and consistently applied to all
Participants in similar circumstances.  When making a determination or
calculation, the Plan Administrator shall be entitled to rely upon information
furnished by a Participant, the Company or the legal counsel of the Company.

         6.05    Authorization of Benefit Payments.  The Plan Administrator
shall issue directions to the Company concerning all benefits which are to be
paid from the Company's general assets pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.

shall be indemnified by the Company against any  and all liabilities arising by
reason of any act or failure to act made in good





                                    - 7 -

faith pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, including expenses reasonably
incurred in the defense of any claim relating thereto.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

         7.01    No Right to Employment, etc.  Neither the creation of this
Plan nor anything contained herein shall be construed as giving any Participant
hereunder or other employees of the Company or any subsidiary any right to
remain in the employ of the Company or any subsidiary.

         7.02    Successors and Assigns.  All rights and obligations of this
Plan shall inure to, and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the
Company.

         7.03    Inalienability.  Except so far as may be contrary to the laws
of any state having jurisdiction in the premises, a Participant or Beneficiary
shall have no right to assign, transfer, hypothecate, encumber, commute or
anticipate his interest in any payments under this Plan and such payments shall
not in any way be subject to any legal process to levy upon or attach the same
for payment of any claim against any Participant or Beneficiary.

         7.04    Incompetency.  If any Participant or Beneficiary is, in the
opinion of the Plan Administrator, legally incapable of giving a valid receipt
and discharge for any payment, the Plan Administrator may, at its option,
direct that such payment or any part thereof be made to such person or persons
who in the opinion of the Plan Administrator are caring for and supporting such
Participant or Beneficiary, unless it has received due notice of claim from a
duly appointed guardian or conservator of the estate of the Participant or
Beneficiary.  A payment so made will be a complete discharge of the obligations
under this Plan to the extent of and as to that payment, and neither the Plan

               INLAND 1992 STOCK PLAN FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS
                       (as Amended through May 24, 1995)


1.   PURPOSE.
          The purpose of the Inland 1992 Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors
(the "Plan") is to attract and retain outstanding individuals as directors of
Inland Steel Industries, Inc. (the "Company") and to provide such directors
with an opportunity to increase their ownership interest in the Company through
the payment of a portion of their directors' fees in shares of common stock of
the Company.

2.   PARTICIPANTS.
          Participants in the Plan shall consist of directors of the Company
who are not employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

3.   SHARES RESERVED UNDER THE PLAN.
          The maximum number of shares of common stock, $1.00 par value per
share, of the Company that may be issued under the Plan shall not exceed
50,000.  Such number, however, may be appropriately adjusted by the Committee
(hereinafter referred to) in the event of stock dividends, stock splits,
spinoffs or other distributions of assets (other than normal cash dividends),
recapitalizations, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations,
exchanges or other relevant changes in corporate structure or capitalization.
Shares of common stock of the Company to be issued under the Plan may be
authorized and unissued shares of common stock, treasury common stock, or any
combination thereof.

4.   ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.
          The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee (the
"Committee") of the Board of Directors of the Company.  The Committee shall
have authority to interpret the Plan, to establish, amend and rescind rules and
regulations for the administration of the Plan, and all such interpretations,
rules and regulations shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

5.   EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN.
          The Plan shall be submitted to the stockholders of the Company for
approval at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held on April 22, 1992, or
any adjournment thereof, and, if approved by the stockholders, shall be deemed
to have become effective on the date of such approval.

6.   PAYMENT OF SHARES.
          For each calendar year beginning with the calendar year commencing
January 1, 1992, with respect to each participant who is elected a director at
the annual meeting of stockholders for such year and continues to be a director
as of July 1 of such year, twenty percent (20%) of the first $30,000 of his or
her annual retainer for services as a

                                     - 2 -

member of the Board of Directors of the Company plus any amount of annual
retainer in excess of $30,000 shall be paid in shares of common stock of the
Company.  The number of such shares shall be determined on the basis of (a) the
average of the highest and lowest selling prices of such stock on the New York
Stock Exchange Composite Transactions on July 1 of such year, or if such stock
is not traded on that day, then on the next preceding day on which such stock
was traded, and (b) the annual retainer in effect as of such date, with any
fraction of a share to be rounded up to the next whole share.  A certificate
for such shares shall be delivered to each such director as soon as practicable
after each July 1, unless such director has elected to defer the issuance of
such shares in accordance with such rules and procedures as the Board of
Directors of the Company may from time to time have established for such
deferrals.

7.   RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER OF SHARES.
          No shares received by a director under the Plan may be sold,
assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of for at least six months after
receipt of such shares, except in the case of the death or disability of such
director prior to the expiration of such six-month period.

8.   AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.
          The Plan may be amended by the Board of Directors of the Company in
any respect, provided that, without stockholder approval, no amendment shall
increase the maximum number of shares available for issuance under the Plan,
and provided, further, that the Plan may not be amended more than once every
six months except to comply with the Internal Revenue Code, the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act, or the rules and regulations thereunder.  The
Plan may also be terminated at any time by the Board of Directors.

9.   MISCELLANEOUS.

          (a)   No Right to Continue as Director.  Nothing contained in this
Plan shall be deemed to confer upon any person any right to continue as a
director of or to be associated in any other way with the Company.

          (b)   Rights as Stockholder.  No person shall have any rights as a
stockholder of the Company with respect to any payment of shares covered by the
Plan until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate to such person.

          (c)   Governing Law.  The Plan shall be governed by and construed
under the law of the State of Illinois.
