                               SECOND AMENDMENT
                                      TO
                       AMERISTEEL STRATEGIC VALUE ADDED
                      EXECUTIVE SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

         This Second Amendment to the AmeriSteel Strategic Value Added Executive
Short-Term Incentive Plan is made and entered into by AmeriSteel Corporation
(the "Company") this 29 day of July 1999, but is effective for all purposes as
of April 1, 1999.

                             W I T N E S S E T H:

         WHEREAS, the Company has previously adopted the AmeriSteel Strategic
Value Added Executive Short-Term Incentive Plan (as amended to date, the
"Plan"); and

         WHEREAS, Article VI of the Plan authorizes the Company to amend the
Plan at any time with the approval of the Company's Board of Directors; and

         WHEREAS, the Company desires to amend the Plan further in certain
respects.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the Plan is hereby
amended as follows:

         1.  Article III(a) of the Plan in hereby amended to read as follows:

         (a) If the employment of a Participant Terminates during a Plan Year
         for normal retirement (at or after age 65), early retirement (within
         the meaning of Section 4.01 of the Company's Pension Plan), total and
         permanent disability (as defined in the Company's Long-Term Disability
         Plan), death or by reason of Special Circumstances (as defined below),
         the Participant shall participate in the Plan for such Plan Year until
         the date his employment Terminates and shall be eligible to receive an
         Award for such Plan Year. Such award shall be Calculated by multiplying
         the full year Award that would have been payable to the Participant if
         his employment had not Terminated (but Calculated based solely on the
         Company's financial performance for the portion of the Plan Year ending
         with the last day of the fiscal quarter in which the employment of the
         Participant Terminates) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
         number of days during the Plan Year in which the Participant
         participated in the Plan (i.e., the number of days prior to and
         including the date his employment Terminated) and the denominator of
         which is the number of days in the Plan Year. For purposes of this
         paragraph (a), "Special Circumstances" shall mean a situation where the
         employment of a Participant Terminates as a direct result of the
         Company selling or closing on a permanent basis a mill or other
         facility operated by the Company, with the determination of whether
         Special Circumstances exist in a particular case to be made in the sole
         discretion of the Committee.

         2.  Article V(a) of the Plan is amended to read as follows:

         (a) Payment of an Award with respect to any Plan Year shall be made
         within two (2) months following the end of the Plan Year; provided,
         however, that with respect to an Award made pursuant to the provisions
         of Article III(a), payment shall be made within (2) months following
         the end of the fiscal quarter in which the employment of the
         Participant Terminates.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the foregoing Second Amendment is adopted by the
Company.

                                THIRD AMENDMENT
                                      TO
                       AMERISTEEL STRATEGIC VALUE ADDED
                      EXECUTIVE SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

     This Third Amendment to the AmeriSteel Strategic Value Added Executive
Short-Term Incentive Plan is made and entered into by AmeriSteel Corporation
(the "Company") this 21 day of October, 2000, but is effective for all purposes
as of April 1, 2000.

                             W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, the Company has previously adopted the AmeriSteel Strategic Value
Added Executive Short-Term Incentive Plan (as amended to date, the "Plan"); and

     WHEREAS, Article VI of the Plan authorizes the Company to amend the Plan at
any time with the approval of the Company's Board of Directors; and

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to amend the Plan further in certain respects.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the Plan is hereby
amended as follows:

     1.   Article I(f) of the Plan is amended to read as follows:

     (f)  "Committee" shall mean the Executive Compensation Committee of the
     Board, composed of at least three (3) members of the Board, at least a
     majority of whom shall not participate in the Plan.

     2.   Article I(k) of the Plan is amended to read as follows:

     (k)  "Plan Year" shall mean the period (which may be less than 12 months)
     that constitutes the fiscal year of the Company for financial accounting
     purposes.

     3.   Article V(a) of the Plan is amended to read as follows:

     (a)  Although individual performance generally is not taken into account in
     determining the amount of any Award under this Plan, a Participant's
     performance for a Plan Year must at least "meet expectations" in order for
     the Participant to receive an Award for such Plan Year. The Committee shall
     have final authority to approve performance ratings for this purpose, and
     any decision of the Committee to forfeit a Prospective Award because of the
     lack of performance shall be final and conclusive on all parties. Any such
     forfeited Prospective Award shall not increase the amount available to
     other Participants.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the foregoing Third Amendment is adopted by the
Company.

          1.

          “Inmaking
this  computation,  it is intended that the recipient  should  receive an amount
from this Plan which, if expressed as an actuarial  equivalent  lump-sum amount,
would enable him to purchase an individual  annuity that would produce a monthly
benefit,  after payment of applicable  Federal,  State and local income taxes on
such lump-sum  amount at the maximum rates in effect in the year of commencement
of Plan  benefits,  equal to the monthly  benefit,  after payment of such income
taxes,  that the recipient  would have received  under the  Retirement  Plan had
Sections  401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code not been applicable  thereto,  less the
benefits which are payable under the Retirement Plan.”

          2.  
        The first paragraph of Section 6
of the Plan is deleted and replaced with the following paragraph:

          “Payment  of
benefits  under this Plan shall be made only when,  and if, the  participant  is
entitled to benefits under the Retirement  Plan. Such payments shall commence on
the  participant’s  actual  retirement  date or  within a  reasonable  time
thereafter,  and such payments shall be made, on an actuarial  equivalent basis,
in  monthly  or  annual  installments  over a  specified  number  of years to be
determined by the Retirement Committee in its discretion.  If a participant dies
before the expiration of the specified payment period, his or her beneficiary or

basis.”AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO OGE ENERGY CORP. RET INC PLAN

following year.”

          2.  
        By  deleting  Section  4 of  the
Plan and substituting the following therefore:

            
           4. 
         Eligibility

          Participants   in
the  Retirement  Plan  whose  pension  or  pension-related  benefits  under  the

under the Retirement Plan be eligible for a benefit under this Plan.”

          3.  
        By deleting the second paragraph

          “In   making
this  computation,  it is intended that the recipient  should  receive an amount
from this Plan which, if expressed as an actuarial  equivalent  lump-sum amount,

taxes,  that the recipient  would have received  under the  Retirement  Plan had
Sections 401 (a)(17) and 415 of the Code not been applicable  thereto and if the

as compensation  under the Retirement  Plan, less the benefits which are payable
under the Retirement Plan.”

          4.  
        By  deleting the first  sentence
of the third  paragraph  of  subsection  5(b) of the Plan and  substituting  the

Retirement  Plan  that  total  amount  which  would  have been  payable  to that
recipient  solely under the Retirement Plan had the 415 and the 401(a)(17) Limit
not been  applicable  thereto  and the  participant’s  deferrals  under the
Deferred  Compensation  Plan were treated as  compensation  under the Retirement
Plan.”
