NAME OF PROGRAM:      Allegheny Technologies Incorporated (the
                      "Company") Total Shareholder Return Incentive
                      Compensation Program ("TSRP" or the "Program").

PURPOSE:              The primary purposes of the TSRP are to:
                      (i) reward senior executives for the overall
                      success of the Company as determined by the value
                      created for stockholders relative to peer
                      companies; and (ii) provide a means of
                      encouraging Company stock ownership by senior
                      executives.

PERFORMANCE PERIOD:   A performance period under the TSRP is three
                      years. The initial performance period began
                      January 1, 2001 and will end December 31, 2003.

GRANT FREQUENCY:      It is anticipated that a new performance period
                      will begin every year, which will create
                      overlapping performance periods.

TSRP STRUCTURE:       Each participant will be assigned a target number
                      of shares. Participants can earn from 50%
                      (at threshold) to 200% (at maximum) of their target
                      shares based on performance. Performance below threshold
                      will earn 0%.

SIZE OF AWARDS:       Target awards will be established for each
                      participant, according to the following schedule:

                      ---------------------------------------------------------
                                                              TARGET AWARDS AS

                      CEO                                            60%
                      Segment Executives, Selected Corporate
                      Officers                                       50%
                      Other Corporate Officers, Selected
                      Business Unit Heads                            40%
                      Selected Business Unit General Managers        30%


Targeted Awards will be calculated according to the following formula:

<TABLE>
<S>                  <C>
Base Salary at        x Target Opportunity   /   Average Closing Price For   = Target

                                                 Performance Period            Awarded
</TABLE>





                                       2
<PAGE>


PERFORMANCE MEASURE:  Performance under the TSRP is calculated as a function of
                      the percentile ranking of ATI's total shareholder return
                      during the performance period (TSR) versus a peer group
                      composed of Companies selected at the beginning of the
                      performance period. For the 2003 - 2005 performance
                      period, the peer companies shall be the companies
                      identified in Appendix A.

                      TSR is the return that a shareholder realizes through
                      stock price appreciation and dividend reinvestment on an
                      equity instrument throughout a specified period. The
                      return for a period is calculated as the stock price at
                      the end of a period plus the dividends paid during the
                      measurement period divided by the stock price at the
                      beginning of the performance period.

TSRP PAYOUTS:         TSRP payouts are equal to:

                         Target award
                      x  Percent of target earned from peer group percentile
                         ranking in TSR

PERFORMANCE GOALS:    The following table shows the performance reward
                      relationships for the TSRP:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                  OUTCOME RELATIVE TO PEER GROUP TSR
                        -------------------------------------------------------

                        THREE-YEAR PERCENTILE      PERCENT OF TARGET

Target                  50th percentile            100%
Excellent               75th percentile            200%

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

                      NOTE: Interpolation between points will be made on a
                      straight-line basis on each scale. Below the 35th
                      percentile (and above the 75th percentile), there will be
                      no interpolation.

DIVIDENDS:            No dividends will be paid on shares that are not yet
                      earned.

FORM AND TIMING OF    All payouts from the TSRP will be made in Company Common
PAYOUT:               Stock, as soon as practicable following the award
                      calculation; however, stock may be withheld in order to
                      satisfy tax withholding requirements.

CERTAIN TERMINATIONS  In the event of a participant's death, disability, or
OF EMPLOYMENT:        retirement (when the executive is at least 55 years of age
                      with at least five years of service), pro rata awards
                      based on the number of full months worked during that
                      performance period will be calculated. Such awards will be
                      based on goal achievement over the entire performance
                      period. Awards in these situations will be calculated and
                      paid after the end of the performance period.

                      Amounts paid on account of death will be paid to a
                      beneficiary designated by the participant. If no
                      beneficiary has been designated, amounts will be paid to
                      the participant's estate.

OTHER TERMINATIONS    In the event of a termination of employment not
OF EMPLOYMENT:        constituting a disability, death or retirement discussed
                      above, the participant will forfeit any right to any
                      payout for all performance periods in progress under the
                      TSRP. For terminations after the end of a performance
                      period, however, but before payout, payout will be made as
                      though the termination had not occurred.

TAX CONSIDERATIONS:   The employee must report taxable income in the year in
                      which the award is paid.

TAX WITHHOLDING:      The Company has the right to deduct any taxes or statutory
                      deductions required by law to be withheld from all
                      payments under the TSRP. See "Certain Federal Income Tax
                      Consequences" below.

CHANGE IN             The number and kind of shares subject to outstanding
CAPITALIZATION:       awards will be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock
                      dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares,
                      merger, consolidation or other change in capitalization
                      with a similar substantive effect upon the TSRP or the
                      awards granted under the TSRP. The Committee shall have
                      the power and sole discretion to determine the amount of
                      the adjustment to be made in each case.

CHANGE IN CONTROL:    If a Change in Control (as defined in the TSRP) is deemed
                      to have occurred, then all outstanding award cycles will
                      automatically vest and be paid out (with the consent of
                      the Committee, in cash) at the target level or the actual
                      performance level (as of the Change in Control), whichever
                      is larger.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE INCENTIVE PLAN AND THE TSRP

The Allegheny Technologies Incorporated 2000 Incentive Plan (the "INCENTIVE
PLAN") was adopted by the Company's Board of Directors on January 31, 2000 and
was approved by the Company's stockholders on May 11, 2000. The purpose of the
Incentive Plan is to help attract and retain key employees and promote their
commitment to achieving long-term corporate objectives.

The Incentive Plan enables the Company to award various types of stock-based
compensation. The following summary covers the terms of the Incentive Plan that
relate to awards made by the Committee under the TSRP. Because it is a summary,
it may not contain all the information that could be important to you. A copy of
the complete text of the TSRP is attached to this Information Statement as
Appendix A.1 and incorporated herein by reference. At your request, the Company
will provide you with a copy of the complete text of the Incentive Plan without
charge. See "Where You Can Find More Information."

ADMINISTRATION

The Personnel and Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors
administers the Incentive Plan with respect to participants in the Incentive
Plan other than persons who are subject to the provisions of Section 16 of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 ("STATUTORY INSIDERS"). The Stock Incentive
Award Subcommittee of the Personnel and Compensation Committee administers the
Incentive Plan as it applies to the Company's statutory insiders. (The Stock
Incentive Award Subcommittee and the Personnel and Compensation Committee are
referred to in this Information Statement as the "COMMITTEE").

The Committee has full authority to interpret the Incentive Plan, designate
eligible participants and categories of eligible participants, set the terms and
conditions of performance awards and establish and modify administrative rules
for the Incentive Plan. In addition, the Board of Directors may exercise any of
the powers and authority of the Committee under the Incentive Plan. The
Committee is comprised of directors who are appointed by and serve at the
pleasure of the Company's Board of Directors.

ELIGIBILITY

You are eligible to receive awards under the Incentive Plan if you are an
officer or key employee of the Company or its subsidiaries who has been
designated as a participant by the Committee in its sole discretion.

STOCK SUBJECT TO THE INCENTIVE PLAN

The Company may issue a maximum of up to 10% of its outstanding shares of Common
Stock under the Incentive Plan. The Committee may adjust this number in certain
instances.
The Common Stock offered under the Incentive Plan may be either authorized and
unissued shares or issued shares that the Company has reacquired and holds in
its treasury. If for any reason an award terminates or expires, the shares of
Common Stock covered by the award will again be available for the grant of new
awards under the Incentive Plan.



                                       5

THE TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM

The Committee adopted Administrative Rules under the Incentive Plan, effective
as of January 1, 2001, that establish the TSRP.

PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY

The Committee has the sole discretion to designate those executives and senior
managers who it believes most directly effect the Company's long-term success as
eligible for the Program. The Committee makes these determinations and
designations based on the recommendations of the Company's Chief Executive
Officer (the "CEO").

AWARD AGREEMENTS

The terms and conditions of an Award, as established by the Committee, are set
forth in a total shareholder return incentive compensation award agreement
between the Company and the participant who has been granted the Award. These
agreements need not contain similar provisions with respect to Awards made to
different participants or Awards made to the same participant at different
times.

Each award agreement describes:

o    The performance period for measuring the achievement of performance
     objectives, in whole or in part;

o    the performance levels for the TSRP, including the target level of
     performance, to be achieved during the performance period, and the number
     of shares of Common Stock available to the participant upon achieving the
     target level of performance (the "TARGET AWARD"); and

o    the applicable percentage of the target award that will be paid depending
     on the extent to which the target level of performance is fully or
     partially achieved or surpassed (the "PERCENT OF TARGET AWARD EARNED").

For the 2003-2005 performance period, the maximum Award, equal to 200% of your
target award, is payable if the Company's three year percentile ranking in TSR
is at or above the 75th percentile of the applicable peer group. No Award is
paid if the Company's three-year percentile ranking in TSR is below the 35th
percentile.

PAYMENT OF AWARDS

After the end of the award period, the Committee determines the number of shares
of Common Stock, if any, to be paid based on the extent to which the target
level of performance was fully or partially achieved or surpassed. All payouts
will be made as soon as practicable following the award calculation. Generally,
however, you will forfeit your right to payment of any Award under the TSRP
unless you are continuously an employee of the Company or any of its affiliates
from the date of grant of the Award to the date of payment. There are
exceptions, however, in the case of retirement, disability or death, as
described above.



                                       6
<PAGE>

You do not have the right to vote or receive dividends on the shares or have any
other rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares, unless and until the
shares are issued to you.

NONASSIGNABILITY

Awards under the Program are not transferable other than by will or by laws of
descent and distribution. During your lifetime, Awards are payable only to you.

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

The Incentive Plan will remain in effect until terminated by the Board of
Directors. The Board may at any time amend or terminate the Incentive Plan or
the TSRP. Without your consent, no such action may materially impair your rights
with respect to awards previously granted to you.

MISCELLANEOUS

The Committee has the discretion to suspend the payment of an Award if it
determines that any of the following actions are necessary or desirable:

   o any listing or registration of the shares of Common Stock;

   o obtaining any consent or approval of any governmental body; or

   o obtaining any other agreement or consent.

In that situation, the Award will be suspended until the Committee is satisfied
that the applicable action has been completed in a manner satisfactory to the
Committee.

Also, neither your selection for participation in the Program nor the execution
of an award agreement will require the Company to retain your services for any
period of time.

CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

This section summarizes the United States federal income tax consequences as of
the date of this Information Statement to a participant who is a United States
citizen with respect to shares of Common Stock that may be received as payment
of an Award under the Program. THE COMPANY URGES YOU TO CONSULT YOUR PERSONAL
TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO
YOUR PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCES, CHANGES IN THESE LAWS, AND THE POSSIBLE EFFECT OF
OTHER TAXES.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Payment of Awards will result in ordinary income to you in the years in which
the shares of Common Stock are paid to you. The taxable amount is the fair
market value (as defined in the Program) of the shares. If you sell the shares
you received in payment of an Award, the difference between any amount realized
on the sale and the fair market value of these shares at the time they were paid
to you will be taxed as capital gain or loss, which will be short-term or
long-term, depending on the length of time you held these shares before sale.
The holding period for determining short-term or long-term capital gains or
losses begins on the date of payment of an Award.



                                       7
<PAGE>

TAX RATES

The Award will be treated as supplemental wages that require a minimum of 27%
federal income tax withholding. You should also bear in mind that the federal
income tax rate on capital gains from sales of property held for less than 12
months (short-term capital gains) generally is the same as your maximum ordinary
income rate (maximum marginal federal rate for 2003 is 38.6%). Also, the tax
rate on capital gains from sales of capital assets held for more than 12 months
(long-term capital gains) is generally 20%. The capital gains rate applicable to
property acquired after December 31, 2000 and held for more than five years is
generally 18%. State income taxes generally apply to the Award and the
subsequent sale of the shares, and local income taxes may also be applicable.

TAX WITHHOLDING

When payments are made to you of amounts awarded under the Program, the Company
will notify you of the amount of withholding taxes, if any, which must be paid
under federal, state or local law. The Company may, with the consent of the
Committee, arrange for payment of the withholding taxes in any one or
combination of the following ways:

   o accepting your cash payment of the amount;

   o reducing the number of shares to be issued to you under the Program by the
     whole number of shares having a fair market value (as defined in the
     Program) equal to or greater than the amount the Company is required to
     withhold.

No shares of Common Stock will be delivered to you under the Program until all
applicable taxes have been paid in full.

RESELLING SHARES

The Program and the Incentive Plan generally do not impose restrictions upon the
resale of Common Stock that you acquire under the Program. However, under
certain circumstances, the Company may refuse to issue shares in connection with
the Incentive Plan until it is satisfied that you have complied with applicable
laws.

RESELLING BY AFFILIATES

Under the federal securities laws, if you are deemed to be an "affiliate" of the
Company, you are restricted in the resale of your Common Stock (whether acquired
under the Incentive Plan or otherwise). For this purpose, an "affiliate" of the
Company is any person who controls the Company, is controlled by the Company, or
is under common control with the Company, whether directly or indirectly through
one or more intermediaries. A corporation's "affiliates" would usually include
all persons whose security holdings are substantial enough to affect the
corporation's management. Also, all statutory insiders are presumed to be
"affiliates."

In general, unless specifically registered for resale, shares owned by
affiliates can be sold only in compliance with Rule 144 of the Securities and
Exchange Commission or another applicable exemption from registration. Among
other things, Rule 144 imposes limitations on the amount of securities sold by
an affiliate in any three-month period and requires that sales be conducted
through a broker.


                                       8
<PAGE>

SECTION 16 - RESTRICTIONS ON STATUTORY INSIDERS

In addition, if you are subject to the provisions of Section 16 of the
Securities Exchange Act - a "statutory insider" of the Company - you must comply
with the reporting and short-swing profit forfeiture provisions of that Section.
Section 16(a) contains reporting requirements applicable to statutory insiders.
Section 16(b) sets forth rules concerning short-swing profit forfeiture that may
require these persons to disgorge profits realized upon the sale and purchase or
purchase and sale of Company securities within any six-month period.

If you have any questions about the impact of Rule 144 or Section 16 on Awards
granted to you under the Program, you should contact the Company at the address
or telephone number set forth under the heading "Where You Can Find More
Information" or, if appropriate, personal legal counsel.

MISCELLANEOUS

The Incentive Plan is not a "qualified" plan within the meaning of Section
401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and is not subject to any provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

                               2000 INCENTIVE PLAN

                          ADMINISTRATIVE RULES FOR THE

             TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM

                         EFFECTIVE AS OF JANUARY 1, 2001


ARTICLE I.  ADOPTION AND PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM

                  1.01 ADOPTION. These rules are adopted by the Personnel and
         Compensation Committee and the Stock Incentive Award Subcommittee of
         the Board of Directors as a part of the Allegheny Technologies
         Incorporated 2000 Incentive Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to the authority
         reserved in Section 3.01 of the Plan. The Total Shareholder Return
         Incentive Compensation Program (the "TSRP") shall be the guidelines for
         making certain Performance Awards or Other Stock-Based Awards under
         Article VIII of the Plan. Capitalized terms used but not defined in
         these rules shall have the same meanings as in the Plan.

                  1.02 PURPOSE. The purposes of the TSRP are (i) to assist the
         Corporation in retaining and motivating selected key management
         employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries who will contribute
         to the success of the Corporation, (ii) to reward key management
         employees for the overall success of the Corporation as determined by
         the value created for shareholders as measured by the percentile
         performance of Corporation Common Stock relative to a peer group and
         (iii) to provide a means of encouraging key management employees to
         acquire and hold shares of Corporation Common Stock. The TSRP
         encourages key management employees to acquire and hold shares of
         Corporation Common Stock by offering them an opportunity to receive
         shares of Common Stock which, in accordance with the terms and
         conditions set forth below, will be earned only if the sum of the price
         and yield of the Common Stock measured against the sums of prices and
         yields of shares of common stock of a peer group of corporations meets
         or exceeds the performance reward relationships set at the beginning of
         an Award Period. Awards under the TSRP are intended to act as an
         incentive to participating key management employees to achieve
         long-term objectives that will inure to the benefit of all stockholders
         of the Corporation measured in terms of relative stock prices.

ARTICLE II.  DEFINITIONS

         For purposes of these rules, the capitalized terms set forth below
shall have the following meanings:

                  2.01 AWARD AGREEMENT means a written agreement between the

         before the Participant's termination of employment and the denominator
         is 36; and

                           (d) certificates representing the number determined
         above shall be delivered at the same time as all other certificates for
         such TSR Performance Period are delivered to Participants who completed

         Participant.

ARTICLE VIII.  MISCELLANEOUS

                  8.01 APPLICATION OF PROVISIONS OF PLAN. Except as set forth in
         these Rules, the provisions of the Plan, including, but not limited to,
         Article X, the Terms Applicable Generally to Awards Granted under the
         Plan, shall apply to these Rules and are incorporated herein as if set
         forth at length.

                  8.02 CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event of a Change in Control,
         Plan Rewards shall be determined for all then uncompleted TSR
         Performance Periods as of the date of the Change in Control at the
         greater of (i) the Performance Level actually attained prior to the
         Change in Control and projected for the remainder of such uncompleted
         TSR Performance Periods or (ii) Target for each such uncompleted TSR
         Performance Period and certificates (or, with the consent of the
         Committee an amount in cash representing the Fair Market Value of such
         certificates) representing the Plan Rewards shall be delivered to the
         Participant as soon after the Change in Control as is administratively
         feasible.

                  8.03 SECURITIES LAWS AND SECTION 162(M) RESTRICTIONS. Any TSR
         Award denominated in Common Stock shall be subject to the requirement
         that if at any time the Committee shall determine that any listing or
         registration of the shares of Common Stock or any consent or approval
         of any governmental body or any other agreement or consent is necessary
         or desirable as a condition to the granting of a TSR Award or issuance
         of shares of Common Stock or cash in satisfaction thereof, such grant
         of an award or issuance of shares of Common Stock may not be
         consummated unless such requirement is satisfied in a manner acceptable
         to the Committee. It is intended, unless the Committee determine
         otherwise, that the TSRP comply with Rule 16b-3 as issued by the
         Securities and Exchange Commission and Section 162(m) of the Code. All
         interpretations of the TSRP relating to Statutory Insiders shall be
         consistent with that Rule 16b-3, the Exchange Act and Section 162(m) of
         the Code. In order to maintain compliance with any of Rule 16b-3, the
         Exchange Act or the Code, the Committee may adopt such other rules or
         provide restrictions on outstanding TSR Awards as it in its discretion
         shall deem necessary and such rules or restrictions shall apply to
         outstanding TSR Awards as if set forth in the respective TSR Award
         Agreements.

APPENDIX A.1

                  8.04 INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION. Each TSR Award Agreement may
         provide that the Participant shall deliver to the Committee upon demand
         by the Committee a written representation that the shares of Common
         Stock to be delivered are acquired by the Participant for investment
         and not for resale or with a view to the distribution thereof. Upon
         demand, delivery of such representation prior to the delivery of shares
         of Common Stock shall be a condition precedent to the Participant's
         right to receive such shares of Common Stock.

                  8.05 NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDERS. Participants shall have no
         rights as shareholders of the Corporation prior to the actual delivery
         of shares of Common Stock. The existence of these Rules and/or any TSR
         Awards then outstanding shall not be a bar or affect in any way the
         power or authority of the Corporation or any of its then stockholders
         to take any action regarding the Corporation, its assets or its capital
         structure.

                  8.06 NON-UNIFORM DETERMINATIONS. The actions and
         determinations of the Committee need not be uniform and may be taken or
         made by the Committee selectively among employees or Participants,
         whether or not similarly situated.

                  8.07 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF RULES. The Committee shall
         have complete power and authority to amend or terminate these Rules at
         any time it is deemed necessary or appropriate. No termination or
         amendment of the Rules may, without the consent of the Participant to
         whom any award shall theretofore have been granted under the TSRP,
         adversely affect the right of such individual under such award;
         provided, however, that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, make
         such provision in the Award Agreement for amendments which, in its sole
         discretion, it deems appropriate.
