                  decree, claim, suit, litigation, arbitral action or
                  investigation which prevents the consummation of the
                  transactions described in this Agreement, as set forth in
                  Section 8.3 hereof.

            (c) Assuming the Escrow Agent has not previously delivered the

Sections 2.4 and 2.5 hereof). If a condition precedent to the obligations of a

condition precedent and proceed with the

                                       5

Closing, which waiver shall not impair or affect any right of indemnification or

            9.1 CONFIDENTIALITY. WHX Entertainment and its directors, officers
and employees have had access to, and have gained knowledge with respect to,
confidential and proprietary information pertaining to the business of Wheeling
Downs, including without limitation, trade secrets, financial results and
information, processes and techniques, methods of doing business, information
concerning customers and suppliers, and other valuable and confidential
information (hereafter collectively referred to as the "Confidential
Information"). The term "Confidential Information" does not include information
which (i) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a
disclosure by WHX Entertainment or its directors, officers or employees, or (ii)
becomes available to WHX Entertainment on a non-confidential basis from a source
other than Wheeling Downs, PROVIDED that such source is not

                                       12

known by WHX Entertainment to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or
other obligation of secrecy to Wheeling Downs. WHX Entertainment acknowledges
that unauthorized disclosure or misuse of the Confidential Information will
cause irreparable damage to Wheeling Downs subsequent to the Closing. WHX
Entertainment agrees that covenants by it to refrain from making unauthorized
use or disclosure of the Confidential Information are essential to the growth
and stability of the business of Wheeling Downs. Accordingly, WHX Entertainment
agrees on behalf of itself and its directors, officers and employees that the
Confidential Information of Wheeling Downs will not be used by WHX Entertainment
or otherwise disclosed to any Person for a period of five (5) years following
the Closing Date.

            9.2 POST-CLOSING COOPERATION. After the Closing and at the sole
expense of Wheeling Downs and Sportsystems, WHX Entertainment agrees to provide
reasonable cooperation and assistance to enable Wheeling Downs to respond to any
communication, request, inquiry, or investigation (including any demand for the
production of testimony, information or documentation in connection with
litigation or arbitration proceedings) from any Governmental Authority or other
Person that relates to the assets or business of Wheeling Downs prior to the
Closing Date, or the ownership interest of WHX Entertainment in Wheeling Downs.

            9.3 COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE. For a period of five (5) years
following the Closing, WHX Entertainment agrees that neither WHX Entertainment
nor its directors, officers and employees shall, directly or indirectly, for
their own account or as a director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or
stockholder of any corporation or any other entity (except that WHX
Entertainment may be the holder of up to a five percent (5%) interest in any
publicly traded corporation), or member of any firm or otherwise, anywhere
within a radius of three hundred (300) miles from the City of Wheeling, West
Virginia, engage, or attempt to engage, in any business activity which is the
same as, substantially similar to or directly competitive with the pari-mutuel
wagering and video lottery terminal and slot machine business conducted by
Wheeling Downs as of the date of this Agreement. Furthermore, WHX Entertainment
agrees that it shall not employ or solicit the employment of any of the
employees of Wheeling Downs for the same five (5) year period after the Closing
Date. WHX Entertainment agrees that the foregoing territorial and time
limitations are reasonable and are properly required for the adequate protection
of the business of Wheeling Downs, and in the event that any one or more of such
limitations is found to be unreasonable by a court of competent jurisdiction,
WHX Entertainment agrees and submits to the reduction of said territorial or
time limitation to such an area or period as the court may determine to be
reasonable.

            9.4 CONSIDERATION FOR COVENANTS. In consideration for the covenants
to maintain the confidentiality and proprietary nature of the Confidential
Information belonging to Wheeling Downs as set forth in Section 9.1 hereof and
to refrain from engaging in competition with the business of Wheeling Downs in
the manner described in Section 9.3 hereof, Wheeling Downs shall pay to WHX
Entertainment the sum of Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000.00). The foregoing
consideration shall be payable in full to WHX Entertainment in immediately
available funds at the Closing, by wire transfer to an account designated by WHX
Entertainment.

            9.5 EQUITABLE REMEDIES. WHX Entertainment acknowledges that Wheeling
Downs will suffer damages incapable of ascertainment in the event that any of
the provisions of Sections 9.1 and 9.3 are breached, and that Wheeling Downs
will be irreparably damaged in the event that the provisions of Sections 9.1 and
9.3 are not enforced. Therefore, should any dispute

                                       13

arise with respect to the breach or threatened breach of Section 9.1 or 9.3 of
this Agreement, WHX Entertainment agrees and consents that in addition to any
and all other remedies available to Wheeling Downs, an injunction, restraining
order or other equitable relief may be issued or ordered by a court of competent
jurisdiction restraining any breach or threatened breach of Section 9.1 or 9.3
of this Agreement. WHX Entertainment agrees not to urge in any such action that
an adequate remedy exists at law. All expenses (including without limitation,
attorney's fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with any legal
proceeding arising as a result of the breach or threatened breach of Section 9.1
or 9.3 of this Agreement shall be borne by the losing party to the fullest
extent permitted by law, and the losing party hereby agrees to indemnify and
hold the other party harmless from and against all such expenses. Each of
Wheeling Downs and WHX Entertainment consents to jurisdiction in New York and
venue in New York for purposes of all claims arising under Sections 9.1 and 9.3
