Nick:
Thanks. Just a few questions for Carol and Ken:

1. Will there still be a MAC trigger and if so, will it remain at the parent
level? Yes, and it will remain at the parent level

2. I am assuming that we still want to receive Holdings" financials. Yes we
want AK Holdings financials, we also want a representation in the contract
that states that AK Holdings financials are the same as AK Steel's financials
because it is the only wholly owned subsidiary of AK Holdings.

3. Sounds like what we want AK Steel to say is that it will remain as the
only subsidiary of Holdings. Is that the concept that you want them to
covenant about in the ISDA? I would suggest doing it as a covenant so that
it would lead to an Event of Default if it is violated. Does anyone have any
thoughts on this? Yes we want to say that if AK Steel is NOT the only wholly
owned sub, then it is an event of default. It can be cured by a parent
guarantee or by providing independent financial statements for AK Steel.

Credit said that they will wave the parent guarantee. The provision will be
waved if AK Steel states, whether in financial documents or by written
letter, that every entity within AK Steel Holding is also every entity within
AK Steel Corp. I have passed this on my contact in AK Steel's Treasury and
they are going to get back to me. I will be on the road tomorrow but you can
leave me a voicemail with any questions.
