                              ARTICLE 6:  BENEFITS

6.1  Benefit Defined

     Subject to the provisions of Article 7, a Member's accrued benefit under
     this Plan (the "Benefit") is the sum of the Member's Regular Benefit and
     the Member's Early Retirement Benefit if applicable, as defined in Sections
     6.2 and 6.3 respectively.  No Benefit shall be payable under this Plan if a
     Member's employment with the Company terminates for any reason prior to the
     Member's Vesting Date.

6.2  Regular Benefit

     A Member's Regular Benefit is the value of a monthly payment deemed to
     commence on the later of the Member's 60th birthday or the Member's
     Termination Date which, for any month, is in an amount equal to the greater
     of:

     (a)  the Member's Unlimited NCPP Benefit; or

     (b)  except as otherwise provided in any other agreement between the
          Company and a Member and approved by the Administrator, 45% of Average
          Monthly Earnings with respect to any Member who is not an elected
          officer of the Company, or 50% of Average Monthly Earnings with
          respect to any Member who is an elected officer of the Company.

6.3  Early Retirement Benefit

     A Member's Early Retirement Benefit is the value of a monthly payment equal
     to the Member's Unlimited NCPP Benefit during the period between the
     Member's Early Retirement Date and commencement of the Regular Benefit.
     The Member's Early Retirement Date is the earliest date that a Member is
     entitled to receive benefits under the NCPP after the Member's Termination
     Date.

6.4  Maximum Benefit

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the monthly payments determined in
     accordance with Sections 6.2 and 6.3 above with respect to any Member who
     is not an elected officer of the Company shall not exceed 75% of such
     Member's highest monthly rate of base salary, ignoring any salary deferrals
     to any Company-sponsored benefit plans, during the Member's period of
     employment with the Company.

6.5  Non-Duplication

     A Member shall not be eligible for benefits under any other non-qualified
     supplemental retirement benefit plan maintained by the Company for the
     purpose of providing benefits not permitted to be paid under any Qualified
     DB Plan.  Nothing herein shall prohibit participation by any Member in the
     AK Steel Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan.

                              ARTICLE 7:  PAYMENT

7.1  Payment of Benefits

     Except as provided in Section 9.4, a Member's Benefit shall be paid in a
     single lump-sum payment, the amount of which shall be determined in
     accordance with Section 7.2, as reduced by the amount determined in
     accordance with Section 7.3.  Payment shall be made to the Member, or in
     the case of the Member's death, to the Member's designated beneficiary,
     within 30 days following the Member's Termination Date.  Any designation of
     beneficiary shall be made by the Member on an election form filed with the
     administrator and may be changed by the Member at any time by filing
     another election form containing the revised instructions.  If no
     beneficiary is designated or no designated beneficiary survives the Member,
     payment shall be made to the Member's estate.

7.2  Lump-Sum Valuation

     (a)  To calculate the lump-sum present value of a Member's Benefit, it
          shall be assumed that the Benefit is payable as a lifetime annuity for
          an unmarried Member or as a joint and 50% surviving spouse's annuity
          for a married Member.  A Member is deemed to be married for the
          purposes of this Section 7.2(a) if the Member has a Spouse on his or
          her Termination Date.

     (b)  Subject to the provisions of Section 7.2(c), the lump-sum present
          value of a Member's Benefit shall be determined by the enrolled
          actuary for the NCPP based upon assumptions approved by the
          Administrator in the Administrator's sole discretion.  The assumptions
          may be changed at any time, and from time to time, but any change
          shall only be valid with respect to Termination Dates occurring twelve
          or more months after the change is approved.

     (c)  Unless otherwise directed by the Administrator, the lump-sum present
          value of a Member's Benefit shall be calculated as of the Member's
          Termination Date based upon (i) the 3-month average of the Pension
          Benefit Guaranty Corporation immediate annuity interest rate in effect
          during each of the 3 months preceding the month in which the
          Termination Date occurs, (ii) the age of the Member, (iii) the 1984
          Unisex Pension Table (UP84) and (iv) such other actuarial assumptions
          as would apply under the NCPP.

7.3  Offset for Other Pensions

     The lump-sum present value of a Member's Benefit determined in accordance
     with Section 7.2 shall be reduced by an amount equal to the present value
     as of the Member's Termination Date of (i) any accrued benefit under any
     employer provided Qualified DB Plan; and (ii) the aggregate amount of any
     employer provided vested benefits accumulated under any Qualified DC Plan.

             ARTICLE 8:  INTERPRETATION, AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

8.1  Interpretation of the Plan

     This document contains the terms of the Plan.  However, the Administrator
     shall have, and the Board expressly reserves to itself and its designate,
     the broadest possible power to exercise its discretion to interpret the
     terms of this Plan and to resolve any question regarding any person's
     rights under the Plan.  Any such interpretation shall be final and binding
     upon a Member, the Member's spouse and heirs and subject to review only in
     accordance with Section 8.2.

8.2  Claims Procedure

     Any Member or other person questioning the rights of any person under the
     Plan shall submit such question in writing to the Administrator, or its
     designate, for resolution.  No person shall have any claim or cause of
     action for any benefit under this Plan until the Administrator, or its
     designate, has responded to such written claim, which response shall not be
     unreasonably delayed.  Except as to disputes described in Sections 9.2 and
     9.4, it is the intent of the Company, and each Member agrees as a condition
     of membership, that any judicial review of any decision hereunder shall be
     limited to a determination of whether the Administrator, or its designate,
     acted arbitrarily or capriciously, and that any decision of the
     Administrator, or its designate shall be enforced unless the action taken
     is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been arbitrary or
     capricious.  Disputes described in Sections 9.2 and 9.4 may be resolved by
     binding arbitration, if mutually agreed by the Member and the
     Administrator, or by litigation; and in either case such action may proceed
     without the necessity of exhausting any other remedies that may be
     available under this Plan.

8.3  Amendment or Termination of the Plan

     The Board may, at any time, with or without notice to any person, amend or
     terminate this Plan.  No such amendment or termination shall adversely
     affect a Member's rights under this Plan after a Member's Vesting Date.

8.4  No Cause of Action

     No Member shall have any right, claim or cause of action against any person
     or entity to appeal the denial of a benefit by the Administrator except as
     provided in Sections 8.1 and 8.2.  In addition, no Member, and no person
     claiming by, through or on behalf of a Member, shall have any claim to or
     cause of action for any benefit under this Plan which might have been
     earned but for the amendment or termination of the Plan, or the termination
     of the Member's employment or the removal of the Member from participation
     under this Plan.

                           ARTICLE 9:  MISCELLANEOUS

9.1  Unsecured General Creditor

     Any and all rights created under this Plan shall be unfunded and unsecured
     contractual rights of the Members against the Company.  The Company's
     obligation under this Plan shall be a mere promise by the Company to make
     the benefit payments described herein.  Members shall have no legal or
     equitable right, interest or other claim in any property or assets of the
     Company by reason of the establishment of this Plan.

9.2  Obligations to the Company

     If a Member becomes entitled to a distribution of benefits under this Plan,
     and if at such time the Member has any outstanding debt, obligation or
     other liability representing an amount certain owed to the Company, then
     the Company may offset such amount against the amount of benefits otherwise
     distributable under the Plan.  Such determination shall be made by the
     Administrator.

9.3  Assignability

     No Member shall have any right to anticipate, alienate, assign, sell,
     transfer, pledge, encumber, attach, mortgage or otherwise hypothecate or
     convey in advance of actual receipt the amounts, if any, payable hereunder.
     No part of the amounts payable hereunder shall, prior to actual payment, be
     subject to seizure or sequestration for the payment of any debts,
     judgments, alimony or separate maintenance, nor shall any person have any
     other claim to any benefit payable under this Plan as a result of a divorce
     or the Member's, or any other person's bankruptcy or insolvency.

9.4  Forfeiture

     Any Member terminated for Cause shall forfeit all rights under this Plan.
     "Cause" means a willful engaging in gross misconduct materially and
     demonstrably injurious to the Company.  "Willful" means an act or omission
     in bad faith and without reasonable belief that such act or omission was in
     or not opposed to the best interests of the Company.  Any such
     determination shall be made by the Board.  Each Member shall be entitled to
     a statement of the facts alleged as a basis for the Board's determination
     that a Member has been terminated for cause and shall be permitted an
     opportunity to present, in person, for the Board's consideration, in such
     manner as the Board shall direct, any facts or arguments on the Member's
     behalf as the Member or his representative may determine.

9.5  Sale of Business

     The sale as a going business of (i) the Company or (ii) substantially all
     of the assets of the Company shall not be a termination of Service for the
     purpose of establishing a Member's right to receive benefits under this
     Plan.

9.6  Employment Not Guaranteed

     The establishment of this Plan, a Member's appointment as a Member of the
     Plan, any provision of this Plan, or any action taken hereunder, shall not
     be or be construed as a contract of employment for any definite term.  The
     Company may take any action related to a Member's employment without regard
     to the effect such action has or may have on a Member's rights hereunder.

9.7  Captions

     The captions to the articles, sections and paragraphs of this Plan are for
     convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or
     construction of any of its provisions.

9.8  Validity

     In the event any provision of this Plan is found by a court of competent
     jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, such provision shall be
     stricken and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and
     effect.

9.9  Applicable Law

     This Plan is subject to interpretation under federal law and, to the extent
     applicable, the law of the State of Ohio.
