                                    RECITALS:

     WHEREAS, WHX is the administrator and contributing sponsor of a defined
benefit pension plan (the "WHX Pension Plan") which covers, among others,
substantially all of the employees of WPSC, including employees whose exclusive
collective bargaining agent is USWA;

     WHEREAS, PBGC, WHX and the USWA are parties to the Termination Litigation,
in which PBGC is seeking to terminate the WHX Pension Plan;

     WHEREAS, WPC, WPSC and the other Debtors are debtors in bankruptcy
proceedings pending in the Bankruptcy Court (Case Nos. 00-43394 through
00-43402) (the "Bankruptcy Proceedings");

     WHEREAS, WHX, WPC, WPSC and the other Debtors are currently members of
WHX's Controlled Group and are jointly and severally liable for liabilities of
the WHX Pension Plan;

     WHEREAS, as a condition to the consummation of the POR, the Debtors must
obtain a loan guarantee from the ESLGB;

     WHEREAS, an express condition to the loan guarantee from the ESLGB is that
WPSC achieve resolution of the treatment of the WHX Pension Plan that is
acceptable to and approved by PBGC;

     WHEREAS, upon emergence from bankruptcy pursuant to the POR, WPC, WPSC and
the other Debtors will not be part of the same Controlled Group as WHX and WPSC
will not be a Participating Employer under the WHX Pension Plan and, therefore,
Continuous Service will be broken as to employees of WPSC, the other Debtors and
OCC by the POR;

     WHEREAS, because Continuous Service will be broken as to employees of WPSC,
the other Debtors and OCC by the POR, such service cannot be broken by a

eligible for Rule of 65 Retirement Benefits or 70/80 Retirement Benefits by
reason of events occurring after the effective date of the POR;

loss", and the Parties desire, among other things, to provide such additional

a secured basis (whether or not used to refinance the Senior Notes) or provides
or agrees to provide any security or collateral for the Senior Notes or in
connection with any extension of the maturity or modification or amendment of
any of the terms or provisions of the Senior Notes, then WHX shall
simultaneously grant to PBGC, pursuant to documentation, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to PBGC, a pari passu, perfected security interest,
securing all present and future obligations and/or liabilities of WHX to PBGC
arising under Section 4062(b) of ERISA up to $50 million (such amount to be
calculated pursuant to Section 4001(a)(18) of ERISA and PBGC regulations), in
the same collateral as may secure such financing, extension or modification. WHX
shall give PBGC reasonable advance written notice (and, in any event, at least
30 days advance written notice) of any proposed secured financing or other grant
of security or collateral. Any PBGC claim arising under Section 4062(b) of ERISA
in excess of $50 million shall be an unsecured claim. All provisions of this
Section 4(b) relating to a secured financing shall remain in effect until the
Valuation Criteria Date, at which time this Section 4(b) shall become of no
further force and effect (and any security interest granted hereunder shall
expire).

          (c) NOTICE OF PAYMENT; LABOW GUARANTEE. WHX shall provide PBGC at
least 60 days advance written notice before WHX or any of its Affiliates (i)
makes any tender offer, exchange offer, or other offer to pay, purchase, redeem,
exchange, acquire, or retire any of the Senior Notes (before, at, or after the
maturity thereof) or (ii) expends any funds or other resources or issues any
securities or other obligations to pay, purchase, redeem, exchange, acquire, or
retire any of the Senior Notes or (iii) extends the maturity of or otherwise
amends or modifies any of the terms or provisions of the Senior Notes; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that this 60-day notice provision shall not apply to unsecured
refinancings of the Senior Notes (before, at or after the maturity thereof) or
to purchases or other acquisitions of any Senior Notes in an Open Market
Transaction in accordance with Section 4(a) hereof. If WHX fails to provide the


                                       8


notice required in Section 4(a) or this Section 4(c), WHX shall be liable to
PBGC (in addition to all other claims, rights and remedies available to PBGC)
for any Damages suffered or incurred by PBGC arising out of or in connection
with any action described in the second sentence Section 4(a) or clause (i),
(ii) or (iii) of this Section 4(c) taken by WHX or any of its Affiliates without
the requisite 60-day notice ("Notice Failure Damages"). Simultaneously with the
execution of this Agreement, Ronald LaBow, in his individual capacity, shall
execute and deliver to PBGC a guarantee, in the form attached hereto as
Attachment C (the "LaBow Guarantee"), pursuant to which he agrees to personally
guarantee the payment of any Notice Failure Damages (together with any fees or
expenses incurred in connection with enforcement of the LaBow Guarantee) up to a
maximum of $250,000 (plus the fees and expenses of enforcement of the LaBow
Guarantee), all as more fully set forth in the LaBow Guarantee. The LaBow
Guarantee shall be terminated at such time as (A) Ronald LaBow is no longer the
Chairman of the Board of Directors of WHX and (B) the new Chairman of the Board
of Directors of WHX shall have replaced the LaBow Guarantee with his or her own
personal guarantee (in substantially the same form as the LaBow Guarantee and,
in any event, reasonably acceptable to PBGC).

plant, department or substantial portion thereof (any such idling or cessation

obligations under this Section 5 or (C) an event of default under WPC's or
WPSC's credit facilities has occurred and ESLGB, RBC or any other lender (or any
agent for any lender) under WPC's or WPSC's credit facilities commences any
Enforcement Action, then WHX shall, upon request by PBGC, enter into an
agreement with PBGC (in a form substantially identical to Attachment D) for the
termination of the WHX Pension Plan pursuant to Section 4042 of ERISA with a
termination date proposed by PBGC (which date shall be no later than one day
prior to any Permanent Shutdown), without the commencement of litigation by
PBGC.

               (iii) (A) If the WHX Pension Plan is terminated (in accordance
with Title IV of ERISA) and the termination date established under Section 4048
of ERISA is at least one day prior to a Permanent Shutdown, WHX's liability to
PBGC under Section 4062(b) of ERISA, if any, shall be fixed as of the

notice of a Permanent Shutdown (a "Noticed Permanent Shutdown") in accordance

liability to PBGC under Section 4062(b) of ERISA, if any, shall not be increased


                                       9

liabilities determined as if such Noticed Permanent Shutdown had not occurred.

                     (C) Except as to matters that are explicitly addressed in
this Agreement, WHX reserves all rights to otherwise object to any claim that
PBGC may assert; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that:

                         (1) WHX may not object to any PBGC claim on the grounds
that (A) all or a portion of the liability sought is not payable by WHX or
members of its Controlled Group because it should or must be allocated to WPSC,
to any of the other Debtors, or to OCC, or (B) the amount of liability of WHX
and its Controlled Group must be determined under the provisions of Section 4063
or 4064 of ERISA; and

Pension Plan, the amount of liability of WHX and its Controlled Group for
unfunded benefit liabilities under the WHX Pension Plan, if any, shall be
determined under the provisions of Section 4062(b) of ERISA, subject to the
provisions of this Agreement.

               (iv) In furtherance of the obligations set forth in Section
5(a)(i) above, commencing on or before the effective date of the POR:

                    (A) WPSC shall file with the Secretary of State of the State
of Delaware a Certificate of Incorporation in the form attached hereto as

first to occur of (1) the tenth anniversary of the date of filing of such
Certificate of Incorporation, (2) the termination of the WHX Pension Plan in
accordance with Title IV of the ERISA, or (3) WPSC's receipt from PBGC of
written authorization of the proposed modification or amendment.

                    (B) WPC shall file with the Secretary of State of the State
of Delaware an amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation in form
attached hereto as Attachment F. WPSC shall not modify or amend Article Eleventh
in any way until the first to occur of (1) the tenth anniversary of the date of
filing of such Certificate of Incorporation, (2) the termination of the WHX
Pension Plan in accordance with Title IV of the ERISA, or (3) WPC's receipt from
PBGC of written authorization of the proposed modification or amendment.

          (b)  (i) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5(b)(ii), WPSC shall
not be required to provide the notice required by Section 5(a)(i)(B) with
respect to an Idling that (A) is not and will not be a Permanent Shutdown and
(B) WPSC reasonably expects to last 5 days or less (with operations resuming on
or before the 6th day).

               (ii) In the event that, notwithstanding WPSC's reasonable
expectation that such Idling will not last more than 5 days, operations have not
resumed on or before the 6th day, then WPSC shall on such 6th day provide a
notice of such Idling to PBGC, WHX and the USWA, which notice shall be in
writing and shall (A) include (1) a reasonably detailed description of the
Idling and the reason why such Idling was necessary, (2) the expected duration


                                       10


of the Idling, and (3) the number of employees affected by the Idling; and (B)
include a certification by WPSC that (1) such Idling is not a Permanent
Shutdown, (2) the circumstances and other factors that caused the Idling are not
of the kind or nature that would lead to a Permanent Shutdown (including a
reasonably detailed explanation of why that is the case), and (3)
notwithstanding the fact that WPSC does not believe such Idling is or will
result in a Permanent Shutdown, if such Idling results in the need for or
likelihood of a Permanent Shutdown, WPSC shall be required to and shall give 60
days advance written notice of any such Permanent Shutdown in accordance with
Section 5(a)(i)(A) above.

               (iii) In the event that a notice is required under Section
5(b)(ii), on the last day of the period set forth in the notice in response to
Section 5(b)(ii)(A)(2) (the expected duration of the Idling), WPSC shall provide
PBGC, WHX and USWA with a status report on the progress of such Idling
(including any updated estimate of when operations will resume if operations
have not already resumed) and WPSC shall provide a final notice to PBGC, WHX and
USWA promptly when operations have resumed.

          (c) In the case of an Idling, WPSC may request (a "Waiver Request")
that WHX, USWA and PBGC waive (which waiver shall not be unreasonably denied)
the 60-day notice required under Section 5(a)(i)(B) if (i) such Idling is not
and will not be a Permanent Shutdown, (ii) such Idling is directly caused by
business circumstances that were not planned and not reasonably foreseeable by
WPSC as of the time that the 60-day notice would have been required under this
Section 5 ("Unforeseen Circumstances") and in the prudent management of its
operations WPSC has determined such Idling to be necessary, (iii) WPSC
reasonably believes that giving 60 days advance notice of such Idling would be
impracticable, (iv) such Idling is not reasonably expected to last more than 10
days, and (v) operations will resume upon the earlier to occur of the resolution
of the applicable Unforeseen Circumstances or 10 days.

               Any Waiver Request shall be in writing and shall:


                    (A) provide PBGC, WHX and USWA with as much advance notice
as practicable of the applicable Idling;

                    (B) be provided as promptly as practicable after WPSC
management has learned of the Unforeseen Circumstances or determined the
applicable Idling to be necessary;

                    (C) include a reasonably detailed description of (1) the
Idling, including the Unforeseen Circumstances and the reason WPSC determined
such Idling to be necessary, (2) the expected duration of the Idling (not to
exceed 10 days), (3) the timeline of when WPSC management learned of the
Unforeseen Circumstances and when WPSC management determined the Idling to be
necessary, (4) the reason why WPSC believes 60 days advance written notice would
be impracticable to give, and (5) the number of employees affected by the
Idling; and

                    (D) include a certification by WPSC that (1) such Idling is
not a Permanent Shutdown, (2) the Unforeseen Circumstances and other factors
that caused the Idling are not of the kind or nature that would lead to a
Permanent Shutdown (including a reasonably


                                       11

detailed explanation of why that is the case), and (3) notwithstanding the fact
that Vs/PSC does not believe such Idling is or will result in a Permanent
Shutdown, if such Idling results in the need for or likelihood of a Permanent
Shutdown, WPSC shall be required to and shall give 60 days advance written
notice of any such Permanent Shutdown in accordance with Section 5(a)(i)(A)
above.

                    In the event that a Waiver Request is granted, WPSC shall
provide PBGC, WHX and USWA with daily status reports on the progress of such
Idling and an estimate of when operations will resume, commencing upon the 8th
day following the commencement of such Idling and continuing until operations
have resumed (and shall provide a final notice to PBGC, WHX and USWA promptly
when operations have resumed).

                    The Parties agree that it shall not be unreasonable for WHX,
USWA and/or PBGC to deny a Waiver Request if such Waiver Request is not given by
WPSC as promptly as practicable after WPSC management has learned of the
Unforeseen Circumstances or determined the applicable Idling to be necessary.

          (d)  (i) On or before the 5th day of each calendar quarter, WPSC shall
provide PBGC, WHX and the USWA with a report (a "Maintenance Report")
identifying all maintenance, repairs, upgrades, enhancements, improvements and
replacements ("Scheduled Maintenance Items") that WPSC has scheduled during the
next 4 calendar quarters. Each Maintenance Report shall contain for each
Scheduled Maintenance Item (A) a reasonably detailed description of such
Scheduled Maintenance Item, (B) the approximate timing of such Scheduled
Maintenance Item, (C) the expected duration of such Scheduled Maintenance Item,
(C) the equipment affected by such Scheduled Maintenance Item (or any new
equipment being added or old equipment being removed), (D) the plant or location
affected by such Scheduled Maintenance Item, and (E) the number of employees
affected by such Scheduled Maintenance Item.

               (ii) Each Maintenance Report shall be accompanied by a
certification by WPSC that (1) no Scheduled Maintenance Item is or will result
in a Permanent Shutdown, (2) the Scheduled Maintenance Items and other factors
that required the Scheduled Maintenance Items are not of the kind or nature that
would lead to a Permanent Shutdown (including a reasonably detailed explanation
of why that is the case), and (3) notwithstanding the fact that WPSC does not
believe any Scheduled Maintenance Item is or will result in a Permanent
Shutdown, if any such Scheduled Maintenance Item results in the need for or
likelihood of a Permanent Shutdown, WPSC shall be required to and shall give 60
days advance written notice of any such Permanent Shutdown in accordance with
Section 5(a)(i)(A) above.

               (iii) WPSC shall not be required to provide the notice required
by Section 5(a)(i)(B) with respect to an Idling that (A) is not and will not be
a Permanent Shutdown and (B) is solely and exclusively to perform a Scheduled
Maintenance Item that was listed on a Maintenance Report satisfying the
requirements of this Section 5(d) and that is performed in accordance with the
description of such Scheduled Maintenance Item included in such Maintenance
Report.


                                       12


          (e) WHX, WPC, WPSC, and the USWA hereby acknowledge and agree that the
EAF-Related Closing does not and will not constitute a Permanent Shutdown. WHX,
the USWA and PBGC hereby acknowledge and agree that no further notice under
Section 5(a)(i) shall be required with respect to the EAF-Related Closing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, WPSC hereby certifies that if the EAF-Related
Closing results in the need for or likelihood of a Permanent Shutdown, WPSC
shall be required to and shall give 60 days advance written notice of any such
Permanent Shutdown in accordance with Section 5(a)(i)(A) above. Nothing herein
shall have any effect on the application or operation of any basic labor
agreement between WPSC or WPC (or both) and the USWA after the effective date of
the POR.

          (f) WPC hereby agrees to cause WPSC to prepare and deliver all notices
and reports required under this Section 5.

     SECTION 6. USWA OBLIGATIONS. The USWA agrees not to contest in any forum
the termination of the WHX Pension Plan, the termination date, or the
appointment of PBGC as trustee of the WHX Pension Plan. The USWA further agrees
not to bring or to support (directly or indirectly) or to fund directly or
indirectly any litigation or other proceeding against PBGC and/or WHX and/or the
WHX Pension Plan in connection with the matters referred to in this Agreement,
including any litigation or proceeding (A) asserting that participants in the
WHX Pension Plan employed by WPSC, any of the other Debtors or OCC are entitled
to Rule of 65 Retirement Benefits or 70/80 Retirement Benefits based on events
subsequent to the effective date of the POR (including any Permanent Shutdown),
(B) asserting that participants in the WHX Pension Plan are entitled to any
other benefits inconsistent with the provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement,
and/or (C) challenging the termination of the WHX Pension Plan, the termination
date, or the appointment of PBGC as trustee of the WHX Pension Plan.

     SECTION 7. PBGC OBLIGATIONS. In consideration of the obligations of WHX,
WPC, WPSC and USWA under this Agreement, PBGC agrees: (a) not to institute any
supplemental or additional proceedings to terminate the WHX Pension Plan
pursuant to Title IV of ERISA prior to the effective date of the POR, except as
permitted under or otherwise contemplated by this Agreement; and (b) to withdraw
its claims in the Bankruptcy Proceedings.

     SECTION 8. ERISA LIABILITY. The Parties acknowledge and agree that after
the effective date of the POR, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 14 of this Agreement, (a) WPC and WPSC will not be part of the same
Controlled Group as WHX, (b) neither WPC nor WPSC will be a Participating
Employer under the WHX Pension Plan, and (c) neither WPC nor WPSC shall have any
liability under Section 4007, 4062(b), 4062(c), 4063, 4064 or 4069 of ERISA with
respect to the WHX Pension Plan. Nothing contained in this Section 8 shall
reduce, impair or otherwise limit any liability that WPC or WPSC would have to
PBGC or WHX if WPC and/or WPSC breaches any of their obligations under this
Agreement.


     SECTION 9. WHX AGREEMENTS. WHX acknowledges and agrees that WHX shall not
object to any claim asserted against WHX by PBGC on the grounds that all or any
portion of the liability under such claim is not payable by WHX or members of
its Controlled Group because (a) such liability should or must be allocated to
WPSC, any of the other Debtors, or OCC, or (b) the amount of liability of WHX
and its Controlled Group must be determined under the provisions of Section 4063
or 4064 of ERISA. WHX further acknowledges and agrees that, upon termination of


                                       13


the WHX Pension Plan, the amount of liability of WHX and its Controlled Group
for unfunded benefit liabilities under the WHX Pension Plan, if any, shall be
determined under the provisions of Section 4062(b) of ERISA, subject to the
provisions of this Agreement.

     SECTION 10. DISMISSAL OF TERMINATION LITIGATION. Upon satisfaction of the
conditions precedent set forth in Section 14 of this Agreement, PBGC, WHX, and
USWA shall sign a stipulation, and/or such other documents as may be required,
to effect the dismissal of the Termination Litigation with prejudice. Nothing in
this Agreement shall inhibit, impair or otherwise affect PBGC' s right to seek
termination of the WHX Pension Plan as a result of events that take place after
the date of this Agreement.

     SECTION 11. INFORMATION AND REPORTS. Each of WHX, WPC and WPSC shall
provide to PBGC the information and reports required of such Person pursuant to
Attachment G hereto.

     SECTION 12. NOTICE OF AGREEMENT. USWA shall provide its affected members
with a summary of those aspects of this Agreement affecting their rights as
participants under the WHX Pension Plan, including, in particular, a summary of
Sections 3, 5, 6 and 15 hereof.

     SECTION 13. PLAN CHANGES; RESTRUCTURING. WHX shall not cease to be the
sponsor of the WHX Pension Plan (or any permitted successor pension plan)
without the prior written consent of PBGC. Except as expressly provided in
Section 3(d), WHX shall not amend, supplement or modify the WHX Pension Plan (or
any permitted successor pension plan) or otherwise change, spin off or redesign
the obligations or rights under the WHX Pension Plan (or any permitted successor
pension plan) without the prior written consent of PBGC (which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that PBGC will not withhold its
consent to the spin off of all (but not less than all) of the Handy & Harman
participants in the WHX Pension Plan to another Person within the WHX Controlled
Group so long as (a) such spin off complies with the next succeeding sentence
and (b) such Person agrees in a writing, satisfactory to PBGC, that (i) such
Person shall not cease to be the sponsor of such spun-off plan (or any permitted
successor pension plan) without the prior written consent of PBGC and (ii) such
Person shall not amend, supplement or modify such spun-off plan (or any
permitted successor pension plan) or otherwise change, spin off or redesign the
obligations or rights under such spun-off plan (or any permitted successor
pension plan) without the prior written consent of PBGC (which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld). In any (A) merger or consolidation of the WHX Pension
Plan, or (B) transfer of WHX Pension Plan assets or liabilities, that is subject
to Section 414(1) of the Internal Revenue Code (other than a de minimis
transaction), the allocation of assets to various priority categories under
Section 4044 of ERISA shall be made using PBGC safe harbor assumptions as
specified in Treas. Reg. ss. 1.414(1)-1(b)(5)(ii). WPC, WPSC and their
Affiliates shall not transfer or otherwise restructure any of the operations of
WPSC in any manner such that a Permanent Shutdown could occur at the operations
of another Person, unless prior to any such transfer or restructure, such other
Person agrees in writing, in form and substance satisfactory to WHX and PBGC, to
comply, together with WPSC, with all obligations of WPSC set forth in this
Agreement, including the inclusion of a provision in the charter of such Person
consistent with Section 5(a)(iv)(A) hereof and compliance with this Section 13
with respect to any future transfer or restructure of such operations.

trustee of the WHX Pension Plan, and establishing March 7, 2003 as the
termination date of the WHX Pension Plan, and (b) WHX and the USWA shall
promptly (and in any event within 10 days after requested to do so) execute,
deliver and acknowledge, or cause to be executed, delivered and acknowledged,
such further documents and instruments and promptly (and in any event within 10
days after requested to do so) do such other acts as PBGC may reasonably request
in order to fully effect the entry of such consent judgment. Such consent
judgment shall also provide that WHX and its subsidiaries (other than the
Debtors) shall maintain their right to contest the amount of their liability, if
any, with respect to the WHX Pension Plan. In addition, upon the entry of such
consent judgment (provided, that there has been no Permanent Shutdown prior to
entry of such consent judgment), PBGC, WHX, WPC, WPSC and the USWA will
acknowledge and agree that (i) the WHX Pension Plan has been terminated as of
March 7, 2003 as a result of the entry of such consent judgment, (ii) there has
been no Permanent Shutdown prior to entry of such consent judgment, and (iii)
WHX has no additional liability to PBGC with respect to the WHX Pension Plan
under Section 4062(b) of ERISA resulting from any Permanent Shutdown.

(a) the date on which all of the Parties consent in writing to such termination
or (b) the date on which WHX, or any permitted successor thereto, is no longer a
sponsor of the WHX Pension Plan (or any permitted successor pension plan);
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the provisions of Section 6 hereof shall survive
termination of this Agreement.

     SECTION 18. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each Party agrees to take such further
action and to execute and deliver such further instruments and documents as any
other Party may reasonably request to carry out fully, and to accomplish the
purposes of, this Agreement

                                       17


enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic,
business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

                      WHEELING-PITTSBURGH STEEL CORPORATION
                         BARGAINING UNIT PENSION PROGRAM



                               PROGRAM SCHEDULE 4

                    RETIREMENT ENHANCEMENTS FOR PARTICIPANTS
                     WHO ELECT RETIREMENT AFTER RATIFICATION
                              OF THE 2003 AGREEMENT



     As provided in the agreement entered into on July 31, 2003 by and among WHX
Corporation (the "Company"), the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC"),
Wheeling-Pittsburgh Corporation, Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corporation ("WPSC")
and the United Steelworkers of America, AFL-CIO-CLC (the "2003 Agreement"), WPSC
will offer, by Seniority, up to 650 retirement enhancements set forth in Section
3 of this Program Schedule 4, consisting of (1) unreduced regular pension, (2)
the Special Payment provided in Section 13.2 of the Plan, and (3) the Surviving
Spouse Benefit provided in Section 4.1 of the Plan. Such retirement enhancements
shall be available until the occasion of the 650th severance. A severance is an
individual who was accruing seniority as of July 31, 2003 severing employment.

     This Program Schedule 4 provides for the payment of certain special pension
benefits from the Plan to those Participants who are entitled to receive a
retirement enhancement benefit under this Program Schedule 4.

     1. ELIGIBILITY. Eligibility to receive the additional benefits provided by
this Program Schedule 4 is limited to those Participants who as of July 1, 2003,
were accruing pension continuous service and as of July 1, 2003 meet at least
the age and service requirements for (a) a Normal Retirement as provided in
paragraph 2.1 of Schedule A,(b) a 62/15 Retirement as provided in paragraph 2.2
of Schedule A, (c) a 55/30 Year Retirement as provided in paragraph 2.3 of
Schedule A, or (d) a 60/15 Retirement, as provided in paragraph 2.4 of Schedule
A. In addition, a Participant shall not be eligible to receive a retirement
enhanced benefit under this Program Schedule 4 until such time as the
Participant has executed and has not revoked a release in a form satisfactory to
the Company, unless the right to a release is waived by the Company.

     2. APPLICATION PERIOD. There will be a period during which eligible
Participants may apply for and be granted retirement enhancements. This period
shall begin on the ratification date, and shall end on the date of the 650th
severance.






     WPSC will send written notice to each Participant who meets the age and
service requirements for the retirement enhancement program. Participants will
have an opportunity to apply for a retirement enhancement by returning an
application within a prescribed period. Within seven days after the close of
such application period, WPSC will notify all applicant Participants in writing
whether their applications have been granted or denied.

     To receive a retirement enhancement, applicants whose retirement
enhancement requests are granted must retire no later than January 31, 2004.
Failure of a Participant to so retire shall render the Participant ineligible
for a retirement enhancement.

     WPSC shall have the right to defer retirement of any Participant who elects
to retire under the terms of the retirement enhancement program by up to three
months if necessary in order to ensure the availability of qualified
Participants; in extraordinary circumstances WPSC may extend such deferral for
up to an additional three months.

     3. RETIREMENT ENHANCEMENTS. With respect to a Participant who shall become
entitled to a retirement enhancement in accordance with this Program Schedule 4,
such retirement enhancement shall include the following benefits from the Plan:

        (A)   UNREDUCED REGULAR PENSION. The Participant shall receive an
              unreduced regular pension of $40 per month multiplied by years of
              continuous service through July 31, 2003.

        (B)   SPECIAL PAYMENT. The Participant shall be eligible to receive the
              Special Payment as provided in paragraph 3.2 of Schedule A.

        (C)   SURVIVING SPOUSE BENEFIT. If tile Participant has 15 years of
              continuous service as of July 31, 2004, the Participant shall be
              eligible for a Surviving Spouse Benefit as provided in Article 4
              of Schedule A based on the pension amount provided in paragraph
              (a) of this section.

     In the event that a Participant's retirement pursuant to the retirement
enhancement program has been deferred by WPSC, and such Participant dies prior
to his actual retirement, there shall be paid in respect of such a Participant a
special payment of $10,000 to the Participant's surviving spouse, if any, or the
Co-Pensioner if such option was elected by such Participant for the regular
pension.

                                  ATTACHMENT B


WHX shall maintain the "Required Credit Balance" throughout the term of this
agreement as follows. WHX shall make such additional contributions to the WHX
Pension Plan that are necessary to insure that the WHX Pension Plan's Required
Credit Balance is preserved as of the end of each Plan Year.

The "Required Credit Balance" shall be determined as follows:

1. The Required Credit Balance as of December 31, 2002 is zero.

2. For each Plan Year ending December 31, 2003 and thereafter for so long as
this Agreement is in effect, the WHX Pension Plan's Required Credit Balance
shall be equal to the sum of (a), (b) and (c) below, where

(a) is the WHX Pension Plan's Required Credit Balance as of the end of the prior
Plan Year; and

(b) is interest on the prior Plan Year's Required Credit Balance calculated at
the WHX Pension Plan's Funding Interest Rate; and

(c) is the amount, if any, required to be contributed to the WHX Pension Plan
pursuant to Section 4(a) of this Agreement as a result of purchases or
acquisitions of the Senior Notes during the Plan Year.






                                  ATTACHMENT C





                                    GUARANTEE


     THIS GUARANTEE (this "Guarantee"), dated as of July 31, 2003, is made by
Ronald LaBow (together with his heirs, distributees, executors, administrators,
and legal and personal representatives, the "Guarantor"), in favor of and for
the benefit of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the "PBGC").

     Reference is made to the Agreement dated as of July 31, 2003 (as amended,
modified or supplemented from time to time, the "Settlement Agreement"), by and
among PBGC, WHX Corporation ("WHX"), Wheeling-Pittsburgh Corporation ("WPC"),
Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corporation ("WPSC") and the United Steelworkers of
America, AFL-CIO-CLC ("USWA"). Capitalized terms used in this Guarantee but not
defined in this Guarantee shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the
Settlement Agreement.

     The Guarantor is the Chairman of the Board of WHX, holds (directly or
indirectly) a substantial equity interest in WHX and has other financial
interests in WHX and, therefore, will derive substantial direct and indirect
benefit from PBGC's execution, delivery and performance of the Settlement
Agreement. To induce PBGC to enter into the Settlement Agreement, the Guarantor
has agreed to guarantee the payment of any Notice Failure Damages, together with
any fees or expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of this
Guarantee. It is a condition to the effectiveness of the Settlement Agreement
that the Guarantor execute and deliver this Guarantee. Accordingly, to induce
PBGC to enter into the Settlement Agreement, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Guarantor hereby
agrees as follows:


     1.  GUARANTEE. (a) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably, as
a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, guarantees to PBGC and its
successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment
by WED( of any Notice Failure Damages; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that notwithstanding
anything in this Guarantee to the contrary, the maximum liability of the
Guarantor under this Section 1(a) shall in no event exceed Two Hundred Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($250,000).

         (b) The Guarantor further agrees to pay any and all reasonable fees and
expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and disbursements
of counsel) which may be paid or incurred by PBGC in enforcing any rights with
respect to, or collecting against, the Guarantor under this Guarantee (such fees
and expenses, together with any Notice Failure Damages, the "Guaranteed
Obligations").

         (c) The Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may exceed the
amount of the liability of the Guarantor hereunder without impairing this
Guarantee or affecting the rights and remedies of PBGC hereunder.

         (d) No payment or payments made by WHX, any other guarantor or any
other Person or received or collected by PBGC from WHX, any other guarantor or




any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or
appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or
in payment of any Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce,
release or otherwise affect the liability of the Guarantor hereunder, who shall,
notwithstanding any such payment or payments other than payments made by the
Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, remain liable for the
Guaranteed Obligations up to the maximum liability of the Guarantor hereunder
until such Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full.

         (e) This Guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not
of collection, and the Guarantor waives any right to require that resort be had
by PBGC to any security held for payment of any Guaranteed Obligations.

     2. NO SUBROGATION. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the
Guarantor hereunder, the Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any
of the rights of PBGC against WHX or any other guarantor or any collateral
security or guarantee or right of offset held by PBGC for the payment of any
Guaranteed Obligations, nor shall the Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any
contribution or reimbursement from WHX or any other guarantor in respect of
payments made by the Guarantor hereunder. If any amount shall be paid to the
Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all Guaranteed
Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the
Guarantor in trust for PBGC, segregated from other funds of the Guarantor, and
shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Guarantor, be turned over to PBGC in the
exact form received by the Guarantor (duly indorsed by the Guarantor to PBGC, if
required), to be applied against any Guaranteed Obligations.

     3. AMENDMENTS, ETC.; WAIVER OF RIGHTS. The Guarantor shall remain obligated
hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against the
Guarantor, and without notice to or further assent by the Guarantor, any demand
for payment of any Guaranteed Obligations made by PBGC may be rescinded by PBGC,
and any Guaranteed Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for
any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of
offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be
renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived,
surrendered or released by PBGC, and the Settlement Agreement may be amended,
modified or supplemented, in whole or in part, as PBGC may deem advisable from
time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any
time held by PBGC for the payment of any Guaranteed Obligations may be sold,
exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. PBGC shall not have any obligation
to protect, secure, perfect or insure any lien at any time held by it as
security for any Guaranteed Obligations or for this Guarantee or any property
subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against the Guarantor, PBGC
may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on WHX or any
other guarantor, and any failure by the PBGC to make any such demand or to
collect any payments from WHX or any such other guarantor or any release of WHX
or such other guarantor shall not relieve the Guarantor of his obligations or
liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies,
express or implied, or as a matter of law, of PBGC against the Guarantor. For
the purposes hereof "demand" shall include the commencement and continuance of
any legal proceedings.

     4. GUARANTEE ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL. The Guarantor waives any and all
notice of the creation or accrual of any Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or


                                       2



proof of reliance by PBGC upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee;
and all dealings between WHX and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and PBGC, on
the other hand, shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated
in reliance upon this Guarantee. The Guarantor waives diligence, presentment,
protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon WHX
or the Guarantor with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantor
understands and agrees that this Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing,
absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the
validity, regularity or enforceability of the Settlement Agreement, any
Guaranteed Obligations or any collateral security therefor or guarantee or right
of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by PBGC,
(b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or
performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by WHX against
PBGC, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or
knowledge of WHX or the Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to
constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of WHX for any Guaranteed
Obligations, or of the Guarantor under this Guarantee, in bankruptcy or in any
other instance. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against the
Guarantor, PBGC may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and
remedies as it may have against WHX or any other Person or against any
collateral security or guarantee for any Guaranteed Obligations or any right of
offset with respect thereto, and any failure by PBGC to pursue such other rights
or remedies or to collect any payments from WHX or any such other Person or to
realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such
right of offset, or any release of WHX or any such other Person or any such
collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve the
Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights
and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of PBGC
against the Guarantor. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and
be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantor
and his heirs, distributees, executors, administrators and legal and personal
representatives, and shall inure to the benefit of PBGC and its successors,
indorsees, transferees and assigns.

     5. REINSTATEMENT. This Guarantee shall continue to be effective, or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of
any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or
returned by PBGC upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or
reorganization of WHX or the Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the
appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar
officer for, WHX or the Guarantor or any substantial part of its or his
property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

     6. PAYMENTS. The Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will
be paid to PBGC without set-off or counterclaim in U.S. Dollars by wire transfer
to any bank account designated by PBGC in writing.

     7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Guarantor represents and warrants to
PBGC that: (a) this Guarantee has been duly and validly executed and delivered
by the Guarantor and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Guarantor, enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms; and
(b) neither the execution and delivery by the Guarantor of this Guarantee nor
compliance with the terms and provisions hereof by the Guarantor will require
any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or


                                       3



official or contravene or constitute a default under, or require any consent
under, any provision of applicable law or regulation or of any agreement,
judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon the
Guarantor or result in the creation or imposition of any lien on any of his
assets.

     8. NOTICES. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
required or permitted under this Guarantee shall be given or made in accordance
with the provisions of Section 16(a) of the Settlement Agreement:

        (a) if to PBGC, at its address or transmission number for notices
provided in Section 16(a) of the Settlement Agreement; and

        (b) if to the Guarantor, at its address or transmission number for
notices set forth on the signature page hereto.

     9. SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Guarantee which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.


     10. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Guarantee represents the agreement of the
Guarantor with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises or
representations by PBGC relative to the subject matter hereof not reflected
herein.

     11. AMENDMENTS IN WRITING; NO WAIVER CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. (a) None of the
terms or provisions of this Guarantee may be waived, amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the Guarantor and
PBGC; PROVIDED that any provision of this Guarantee may be waived by PBGC in a
letter or agreement executed by PBGC or by facsimile transmission from PBGC.

         (b) PBGC shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant
to paragraph (a) hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to
have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any breach of
any of the terms and conditions hereof No failure to exercise, nor any delay in
exercising, on the part of PBGC, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power
or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by PBGC of any
right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to
any right or remedy which PBGC would otherwise have on any future occasion.

         (c) The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be
exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or
remedies provided by law.

     12. SECTION HEADINGS. The section headings used in this Guarantee are for
convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or
be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

                                       4



     13. ASSIGNMENT. The Guarantor may not assign this Guarantee or any of
Guarantor's rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
PBGC.

     14. GOVERNING LAW. THIS GUARANTEE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND
INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT
REFERENCE TO THE CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

     15. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY OF ALL CLAIMS, DEFENSES, COUNTERCLAIMS AND SUITS OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM
OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTEE. THE GUARANTOR HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS IS A
WAIVER OF A LEGAL RIGHT AND THAT THE GUARANTOR MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND
KNOWINGLY AFTER CONSULTATION WITH, OR THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH, COUNSEL
OF HIS CHOICE. THE GUARANTOR HEREBY AGREES THAT ALL SUCH CLAIMS, DEFENSES,
COUNTERCLAIMS AND SUITS SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A JUDGE OF A COURT OF COMPETENT
JURISDICTION, WITHOUT A JURY.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Guarantee to be duly
executed and delivered as of the day and year first above written.

            The Corporation  shall not issue any nonvoting equity  securities to
the extent prohibited by section 1123 of title 11 of the United States Code (the
"Bankruptcy  Code")  as  in  effect  on  the  effective  date  of  the  Plan  of

long as such section of the  Bankruptcy  Code is in effect and applicable to the

            The   following  is  a  statement   of  the  powers,   designations,
preferences, privileges, and relative rights in respect of each class of capital
stock of the Corporation.

            A. COMMON STOCK.

            1.  GENERAL.  The voting,  dividend  and  liquidation  rights of the
holders  of Common  Stock are  subject  to and  qualified  by the  rights of the
holders of Preferred Stock.

            2. VOTING.  Except as provided  herein,  the holders of Common Stock
are  entitled to one vote for each share held at all  meetings  of  stockholders
(and written actions in lieu of meetings). There shall be no cumulative voting.

            3. DIVIDENDS. Dividends may be declared and paid on the Common Stock
from funds lawfully  available  therefor if, as and when determined by the Board
of  Directors  and  subject  to any  preferential  dividend  rights  of any then
outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.

            4.   LIQUIDATION.   Upon  the  dissolution  or  liquidation  of  the
Corporation,  whether voluntary or involuntary,  holders of Common Stock will be
entitled to receive all assets of the Corporation  available for distribution to
its  stockholders,  subject to any  preferential  rights of any then outstanding
shares of Preferred Stock.

            B. PREFERRED STOCK.

            Shares of Preferred  Stock may be issued from time to time in one or
more series, each of such series to have such powers, designations, preferences,
and relative, participating, optional, or other special rights, if any, and such
qualifications and restrictions,  if any, of such preferences and rights, as are
stated or expressed in the  resolution or  resolutions of the Board of Directors
providing  for such series of  Preferred  Stock.  Different  series of Preferred
Stock shall not be construed to constitute  different  classes of shares for the
purposes of voting by classes unless expressly so provided in such resolution or
resolutions.

            Authority is hereby  granted to the Board of Directors  from time to
time to issue the Preferred Stock in one or more series,  and in connection with
the creation of any such series,  by resolution or  resolutions to determine and
fix  the  powers,  designations,   preferences,  and  relative,   participating,
optional,   or  other  special  rights,  if  any,  and  the  qualifications  and
restrictions,  if  any,  of  such  preferences  and  rights,  including  without
limitation  dividend  rights,   conversion  rights,   voting  rights  (if  any),
redemption privileges, and liquidation preferences,  of such series of Preferred


                                       2



Stock (which need not be uniform among series), all to the fullest extent now or
hereafter permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the resolution or resolutions providing for the
creation  or  issuance of any series of  Preferred  Stock may provide  that such
series shall be superior to, rank equally  with,  or be junior to the  Preferred
Stock of any other  series,  all to the  fullest  extent  permitted  by law.  No
resolution,  vote,  or  consent  of the  holders  of the  capital  stock  of the
Corporation shall be required in connection with the creation or issuance of any
shares of any series of Preferred  Stock  authorized by and  complying  with the
conditions of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the
right to any such  resolution,  vote, or consent being  expressly  waived by all
present  and  future   holders  of  the  capital   stock  of  the   Corporation.
Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  no class or series of Preferred  Stock shall be
authorized  for issuance in connection  with the adoption by the  Corporation of
what is  commonly  known as a "poison  pill"  plan or any  similar  shareholders
rights plan unless such plan is first approved (a) by at least a majority of all
of the members of the Board of Directors  and by the holders of the voting stock
of the Corporation or (b) by at least two-thirds  (2/3rds) of all of the members
of the Board of Directors.

            Any  resolution  or  resolutions  adopted by the Board of  Directors
pursuant to the  authority  vested in them by this  Article  Fourth shall be set
forth in a certificate of  designation  along with the number of shares of stock
of such series as to which the  resolution or  resolutions  shall apply and such
certificate shall be executed, acknowledged,  filed, recorded, arid shall become
effective, in accordance with ss.103 of the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware.  Unless  otherwise  provided in any such resolution or resolutions,
the  number of shares of stock of any such  series to which such  resolution  or
resolutions apply may be increased (but not above the total number of authorized
shares of the class) or  decreased  (but not below the number of shares  thereof
then outstanding) by a certificate  likewise executed,  acknowledged,  filed and
recorded,  setting  forth a  statement  that a  specified  increase  or decrease
therein has been authorized and directed by a resolution or resolutions likewise
adopted by the Board of  Directors.  In case the number of such shares  shall be
decreased, the number of shares so specified in the certificate shall resume the
status  which  they  had  prior  to the  adoption  of the  first  resolution  or
resolutions. When no shares of any such class or series are outstanding,  either
because  none were issued or because  none  remain  outstanding,  a  certificate
setting forth a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors that
none of the authorized shares of such class or series are outstanding,  and that
none will be issued subject to the certificate of designations  previously filed
with respect to such class or series, may be executed,  acknowledged,  filed and
recorded in the same manner as previously described and it shall have the effect
of eliminating  from the certificate of  incorporation  all matters set forth in
the certificate of  designations  with respect to such class or series of stock.
If no  shares  of any such  class  or  series  established  by a  resolution  or
resolutions  adopted  by the Board of  Directors  have been  issued,  the voting
powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other
rights, if any, with the  qualifications,  limitations or restrictions  thereof,
may be amended by a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors.
In the event of any such  amendment,  a  certificate  which (i)  states  that no
shares of such class or series have been issued, (ii) sets forth the copy of the






amending resolution or resolutions and (iii) if the designation of such class or
series  is  being  changed,  indicates  the  original  designation  and  the new
designation, shall be executed, acknowledged,  filed, recorded, and shall become
effective, in accordance with ss.103 of the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware.

            FIFTH: This provision is inserted for the management of the business
and for the  conduct of the  affairs of the  Corporation  and for  defining  and
regulating the powers of the Corporation and its directors and is in furtherance
and not in limitation of the powers  conferred upon the  Corporation by statute.
The Board of Directors shall have the power and authority:  (i) to adopt,  amend
or repeal By-Laws of the Corporation,  subject only to such limitations, if any,
as may be from time to time imposed by other provisions of this Certificate,  by
law, or by the By-Laws;  and (ii) to the full extent permitted or not prohibited
by law,  and  without  the consent of or other  action by the  stockholders,  to
authorize or create  mortgages,  pledges or other liens or encumbrances upon any
or  all  of  the  assets,  real,  personal  or  mixed,  and  franchises  of  the
Corporation,  including  after-acquired  property,  and to  exercise  all of the
powers of the Corporation in connection therewith.

            SIXTH: No director of the Corporation  shall be personally liable to
the Corporation or to any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such
liability;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER, that to the extent required from time to time by
applicable law, this Article Sixth shall not eliminate or limit the liability of
a director,  to the extent such liability is provided by applicable law, (i) for
any  breach  of  the  director's  duty  of  loyalty  to the  corporation  or its
stockholders,  (ii) for acts or  omissions  not in good  faith or which  involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of
Title 8 of the  Delaware  Code,  or (iv) for any  transactions  from  which  the
director derived an improper personal benefit. No amendment to or repeal of this
Article  Sixth  shall  apply to or have any effect on the  liability  or alleged
liability  of any  director for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such
director occurring prior to the effective date of such amendment or repeal.

            SEVENTH:  The Corporation  shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware,  as amended from time to
time,  indemnify each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any  threatened,  pending  or  completed  action,  suit or  proceeding,
whether civil, criminal,  administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact
that he is or was,  or has  agreed to  become,  a  director  or  officer  of the
Corporation, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the request of the
Corporation,  as a  director,  officer or trustee  of, or in a similar  capacity
with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
(including  any employee  benefit  plan),  or by reason of any action alleged to
have been taken or omitted in such  capacity,  against all  expenses  (including
attorneys' fees),  judgments,  fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such action, suit
or proceeding and any appeal therefrom.


                                        4





            Indemnification  may include  payment by the Corporation of expenses
in defending an action or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such
action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by the person indemnified to
repay  such  payment  if it is  ultimately  determined  that such  person is not
entitled to indemnification under this Article Seventh, which undertaking may be
accepted without  reference to the financial ability of such person to make such
repayment.

            The  Corporation   shall  not  indemnify  any  such  person  seeking
indemnification  in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof)  initiated by
such  person  unless  the  initiation  thereof  was  approved  by the  Board  of
Directors.

            The  indemnification  rights  provided in this  Article  Seventh (i)
shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may
be entitled under any law,  agreement or vote of stockholders  or  disinterested
directors  or  otherwise,  and (ii)  shall  inure to the  benefit  of the heirs,
executors and administrators of such persons. The Corporation may, to the extent
authorized  from time to time by its Board of Directors,  grant  indemnification
rights to other  employees or agents of the Corporation or other persons serving
the  Corporation  and such rights may be equivalent to, or greater or less than,
those set forth in this Article Seventh.

            EIGHTH: Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between the
Corporation  and  its  creditors  or  any  class  of  them  and/or  between  the
Corporation  and its  stockholders  or any class of them, any court of equitable
jurisdiction  within the State of Delaware may, on the  application in a summary
way of the  Corporation  or of any  creditor  or  stockholder  thereof or on the
application of any receiver or receivers appointed for the Corporation under the
provisions  of ss.291 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code or on the  application  of
trustees in  dissolution  or of any  receiver  or  receivers  appointed  for the
Corporation  under the  provisions  of ss.279 of Title 8 of the  Delaware  Code,
order  a  meeting  of  the  creditors  or  class  of  creditors,  and/or  of the
stockholders or class of stockholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, to
be  summoned  in such a manner as the said court  directs.  If a majority of the
number representing three-fourths (3/4ths) in value of the creditors or class of
creditors,   and/or  of  the  stockholders  or  class  of  stockholders  of  the
Corporation,  as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement  and to
any  reorganization  of the  Corporation as a consequence of such  compromise or
arrangement, the compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if
sanctioned by the court to which the said  application has been made, be binding
on all  creditors  or  class  of  creditors,  and/or  stockholders  or  class of
stockholders  of  the  Corporation,  as  the  case  may  be,  and  also  on  the
Corporation.

            NINTH:  The Board of Directors,  when  considering a tender offer or
merger or  acquisition  proposal,  shall take into  account  potential  economic
benefits to  stockholders,  including  without  limitation,  a comparison of the
proposed  consideration  to be received by  stockholders in relation to the then
current market price of the  Corporation's  capital stock, the estimated current
value of the Corporation in a freely negotiated  transaction,  and the estimated
future  value of the  Corporation  as an  independent  entity  and may take into
account  such  other  factors as the Board of  Directors  deems  appropriate  in
exercising its fiduciary duties.

            TENTH: Any action required or permitted to be taken by the
stockholders of the Corporation may be taken only at a duly called annual or
special meeting of the stockholders, and not by written consent in lieu of such


                                        5





a meeting, and special meetings of stockholders may be called only by the
Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President, or a majority of the Board of
Directors.


            ELEVENTH:  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein
(including, without limitation, Article THIRD hereof):

            (a) The  Corporation  shall not have the power to  approve a
"permanent shutdown of any plant,  department or substantial portion thereof' of
Wheeling - Pittsburgh Steel Corporation  ("WPSC"), as such quoted phrase is used
in the defined  benefit  pension plan (the "WHX Pension Plan")  sponsored by WHX
Corporation  (such  corporation  or its  successor,  if  any,  "WHX")  (a  "WPSC
Permanent Shutdown"), without (1) providing WHX and the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation  (such  corporation  or its  successor,  if any, the "PBGC") with at
least sixty (60) days advance  written  notice  thereof and (ii)  obtaining  the
approval of such WPSC Permanent  Shutdown by the affirmative  vote of at least a

                                   TERM SHEET


     The following are the key terms to be embodied in a final agreement (the
"Agreement") among the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC"), WHX
Corporation ("WHX"), Wheeling-Pittsburgh Corporation ("WPC"),
Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corporation ("WPSC") and the United Steelworkers of
America ("USWA"). PBGC, WHX and the USWA are parties to that certain litigation
known as PBGC v. WHX Corporation, Civil Action No. 03-CV-1553, now pending in
the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the
"Termination Litigation"), which involves a defined benefit pension plan
sponsored by WHX which covers employees of WPSC, including employees whose
exclusive collective bargaining agent is USWA. WPC, WPSC and other affiliated
companies are Debtors in bankruptcy proceedings now pending in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Ohio (the "Bankruptcy Court")
(Case Nos. 00-43394 through 00-43402) (the "Bankruptcy Proceedings").

     In consideration of the obligations of PBGC, WHX, WPC, WPSC, and USWA as
described herein, the parties agree as follows:

1.   The WHX Pension Plan (the "Plan") is and has been since its inception a
     single-employer plan, and WHX shall and hereby does forever abandon its
     contention that the Plan as it is currently constituted is a multiemployer
     plan, and shall not contend that the Plan is a multiemployer plan based on
     changed circumstances unless an advance advisory opinion is issued by the
     Department of Labor, based on such changed circumstances, that the Plan is
     a multiemployer plan. WHX shall, no later than July 31, 2003 (or if later
     30 days after execution of final definitive documentation of this Term
     Sheet), file such amended annual returns (known as Form 5500) with the
     appropriate governmental agencies as are necessary to reflect its status as
     a single-employer plan, and will file an amended PBGC Form 1 for 2001 and
     2002 and will file an amended PBGC Form lES for 2003, with accompanying
     payment of any deficiency in premiums due to PBGC as a result of such
     filings, plus interest and penalties (penalties to be calculated at 1% per
     month).

2.   WHX, WPC, WPSC and USWA agree (and shall use best efforts to ensure that
     the Bankruptcy Court enters an order in the Bankruptcy Proceedings in form
     and substance reasonably satisfactory to PBGC stating) that (a) no
     Permanent Shutdown (as defined below) has occurred or will occur as a
     result of WPSC's Plan of Reorganization ("POR") and the transactions
     contemplated therein, (b) as a result of the transactions to be consummated
     on the effective date of the POR, WPSC and Ohio Coatings Corporation
     ("OCC") will no longer be participating employers under the Plan and
     therefore under the current terms of the Plan, Continuous Service (as
     defined in the Plan) will be broken as to employees of WPSC, any other
     Debtors, and OCC by the POR with respect to work performed for WPSC, any
     other Debtors, or OCC, and no Continuous Service will be credited for work
     performed for WPSC, any other Debtors, or OCC after the effective date of
     the POR, (c) as a result, no participants in the Plan employed by OCC,





     WPSC, or any other Debtor will accrue benefit, eligibility, or vesting
     service beyond the effective date of the POR, nor shall any such
     participants become entitled to "Rule of 65" or "70/80" retirement benefits
     by reason of events occurring after the effective date of the POR, and (d)
     the Plan shall be amended to allow up to 650 WPSC USWA-represented
     employees the right to retire on a sole option pension (55/30, 62/15, 65/5,
     60/15) based on continuous service as of July 1, 2003, with a window
     pension benefit equal to $40 multiplied by the employee's years of service
     as of July 1, 2003, along with a Special Payment and Surviving Spouse's
     Benefit.

     For purposes of this Term Sheet, a "Permanent Shutdown" shall mean a
     "permanent shutdown of a plant, department or substantial portion thereof'
     as such phrase is used in the Plan.

3.   WHX will contribute one dollar to the Plan for each dollar used by WHX or
     its affiliates to purchase or otherwise acquire WHX 10.5% Senior Notes in
     the open market, each such contribution to the Plan to be made within three
     business days of the date on which any funds are used to purchase or
     acquire the WHX 10.5% Senior Notes. WHX will provide quarterly reports to
     PBGC on its market activity in this regard and payments to the Plan
     pursuant to this paragraph. Monies contributed to the Plan under this
     paragraph 3 shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any contributions
     required to be made to the Plan under Section 412 of the Internal Revenue
     Code, and WHX shall maintain any credit balance (equal to the additional
     contributions plus interest) resulting from these additional contributions
     in the manner set forth in Attachment A to this Term Sheet. The provisions
     of this paragraph 3 shall remain in effect until the first business day
     following the maturity date of the 10.5% Senior Notes, except that the
     credit balance, if any, shall continue to be maintained until the earlier
     of (a) the first business day after the second consecutive annual valuation
     date in which the Plan has sufficient assets so that there is no liability
     to PBGC under Section 4062 of ERISA in the event of Plan termination; or
     (b) the public unsecured debt of WHX is rated at least Baa3 by Moody's and
     at least BBB- by Standard and Poor's.

4.   (a) WHX, WPC, WPSC, and the USWA agree that:

         (i) After the effective date of the POR, WPSC shall provide to WHX,
     PBGC and the USWA at least 60 days advance written notice of (A) any
     Permanent Shutdown or (B) (except as otherwise expressly provided in
     paragraphs 4(b), 4(c) and 4(d)) any idling or cessation of operations of
     any WPSC plant, department or substantial portion thereof (any such idling
     or cessation described in this clause 4(a)(i)(B), an "Idling").

         (ii) In the event that (A) WPSC delivers a notice required pursuant to
     clause 4(a)(i)or 4(b)(ii) hereof, a Waiver Request or a Maintenance Report,
     (B) WPC and/or WPSC fails to comply with any of their respective
     obligations under this paragraph 4 or (C) an event of default under WPC's
     or WPSC's credit facilities has occurred and ESLGB (as defined below), RBC
     (as defined below) or any other lender (or any agent for any lender) under
     WPC's or WPSC's credit facilities commences any Enforcement Action, then
     WHX shall, upon request by PBGC, enter into an agreement with PBGC (in a
     form substantially identical to Attachment B) for the termination of the
     Plan pursuant to Section 4042 of ERISA with a termination date proposed by
     PBGC (but in any event no later than one day prior to any Permanent
     Shutdown), without the commencement of litigation by PBGC. The USWA agrees
     not to contest in any forum such termination of the Plan and establishment
     of the termination date. The USWA further agrees not to bring or to support


                                      -2-



     (directly or indirectly) or to fund directly or indirectly any litigation
     against PBGC and/or WHX and/or the Plan in connection with the matters
     referred to in this Term Sheet, including, but not limited to, challenging
     the termination of the Plan or the termination date pursuant to this
     paragraph.

     For purposes of this Term Sheet, "Enforcement Action" means any of the
     following actions: to initiate or participate with others in any action to
     realize upon any of the assets or stock of WPC or WPSC, including but not
     limited to commencing any foreclosure proceeding or execution process or
     taking possession of or otherwise proceeding against such assets or stock.

         (iii) If (A) WPSC timely and fully fulfills its obligations under this
     paragraph 4 or the Plan is terminated effective at least one day prior to a
     Permanent Shutdown and (B) WHX fulfills its obligations under this Term
     Sheet, WHX shall be released from any additional liability to PBGC under
     Title IV of ERISA resulting from the Permanent Shutdown.

         (iv) In furtherance of the obligations set forth in paragraph 4(a)(i)
     above, commencing on or before the effective date of the POR:

               (A) WPSC shall include in its Certificate of Incorporation a
     provision, in form and substance acceptable to PBGC, that: (1) states that
     WPSC shall not have the power to effect a "permanent shutdown of a plant,
     department or substantial portion thereof" of WPSC as such quoted phrase is
     used in the Plan without (x) providing WHX and PBGC with at least 60 days
     advance written notice thereof and (y) obtaining the approval of such
     Permanent Shutdown by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the
     entire Board of Directors (including at least a majority of the independent
     director(s)) of WPSC and the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the
     entire Board of Directors (including at least a majority of the independent
     director(s)) of WPC; (2) provides that no officer of WPSC shall take any
     action to effect a Permanent Shutdown, unless all of the conditions set
     forth in clause 4(a)(iv)(A)(l ) above have been satisfied; (3) requires the
     Board of Directors of WPSC to at all times include at least one independent
     director (as such term is used in Rule 303 of the Rules of the New York
     Stock Exchange as in existence on the date hereof or as amended,
     supplemented or restated from time to time hereafter); (4) requires the
     Board of Directors to cause WPSC to adopt and implement, within 30 days of
     the filing of its Certificate of Incorporation, reasonable procedures and
     policies (and annually to review such procedures and policies) reasonably
     necessary to attain compliance with the obligations and responsibilities of
     WPSC under the definitive agreement described in this Term Sheet and (5)
     prohibits the amendment of such provision of the Certificate of
     Incorporation for a period of at least ten years, unless the Plan has been
     terminated in accordance with Title IV of ERISA.

               (B) WPC shall include in its Certificate of Incorporation a
     provision, in form and substance acceptable to PBGC, that: (1) states that
     WPC shall not have the power to effect a Permanent Shutdown without (x)
     providing WHX and PBGC with at least 60 days advance written notice thereof
     and (y) obtaining the approval of such Permanent Shutdown by the


                                      -3-



     affirmative vote of at least a majority of the entire Board of Directors
     (including at least a majority of the independent director(s)) of WPC; (2)
     provides that no officer of WPC shall take any action to effect a Permanent
     Shutdown, unless all of the conditions set forth in clause 4(a)(iv)(B)(l)
     above have been satisfied; (3) requires the Board of Directors of WPC to at
     all times include at least one independent director (as such term is used
     in Rule 303 of the Rules of the New York Stock Exchange as in existence on
     the date hereof or as amended, supplemented or restated from time to time
     hereafter); (4) requires the Board of Directors to cause WPC to adopt and
     implement, within 60 days of the filing of its Certificate of
     Incorporation, reasonable procedures and policies (and annually to review
     such procedures and policies) reasonably necessary to attain compliance
     with the obligations and responsibilities of WPC and WPSC under the
     definitive agreement described in this Term Sheet and (5) prohibits the
     amendment of such provision of the Certificate of Incorporation for a
     period of at least ten years, unless the Plan has been terminated in
     accordance with Title IV of ERISA.

     The requirement that WPSC obtain the approval of any Permanent Shutdown by
     the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the entire Board of
     Directors (including at least a majority of the independent director(s)) of
     WPC and the requirement that WPC's Certificate of Incorporation contain the
     provision described in Section 4(a)(iv)(B) above would no longer be
     applicable at such time as WPC ceases to "control" WPSC. For purposes of
     this Term Sheet, the term "control" means possession, directly or
     indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of management or
     policies (whether through ownership of securities by contract or
     otherwise).


     (b) (i) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph 4(b)(ii), WPSC shall not
     be required to provide the notice required by paragraph 4(a)(i)(B) with
     respect to an Idling that (A) is not and will not be a Permanent Shutdown
     and (B) WPSC reasonably expects to last 5 days or less (with operations
     resuming on or before the 6th day).

         (ii) In the event that, notwithstanding WPSC's reasonable expectation
     that such Idling will not last more than 5 days, operations have not
     resumed on or before the -th o day, then WPSC shall on such 6th day provide
     a notice of such Idling to PBGC, WHX and the USWA, which notice shall be in
     writing and shall (A) include (1) a reasonably detailed description of the
     Idling and the reason why such Idling was necessary, (2) the expected
     duration of the Idling, and (3) the number of employees affected by the
     Idling; and (B) include a certification by WPSC that (1) such Idling is not
     a Permanent Shutdown, (2) the circumstances and other factors that caused
     the Idling are not of the kind or nature that would lead to a Permanent
     Shutdown (including a reasonably detailed explanation of why that is the
     case), and (3) notwithstanding the fact that WPSC does not believe such
     Idling is or will result in a Permanent Shutdown, if such Idling results in
     the need for or likelihood of a Permanent Shutdown, WPSC shall be required
     to and shall give 60 days advance written notice prior to any such
     Permanent Shutdown in accordance with clause 4(a)(i)(A) above.

         (iii) In the event that a notice is required under clause 4(b)(ii), on
     the last day of the period set forth in the notice in response to clause
     4(b)(ii)(A)(2) (the expected duration of the Idling), WPSC shall provide


                                      -4-



     PBGC, WHX and USWA with a status report on the progress of such Idling
     (including any updated estimate of when operations will resume if
     operations have not already resumed) and WPSC shall provide a final notice
     to PBGC, WHX and USWA promptly when operations have resumed.

     (c) In the case of an Idling, WPSC may request (a "Waiver Request") that
     WHX, USWA and PBGC waive (which waiver shall not be unreasonably denied)
     the 60-day notice required under paragraph 4(a)(i)(B) if (i) such Idling is
     not and will not be a Permanent Shutdown, (ii) such Idling is directly
     caused by business circumstances that were not planned and not reasonably
     foreseeable by WPSC as of the time that the 60-day notice would have been
     required under this paragraph 4 ("Unforeseen Circumstances") and in the
     prudent management of its operations WPSC has determined such Idling to be
     necessary, (iii) WPSC reasonably believes that giving 60 days advance
     notice of such Idling would be impracticable, (iv) such Idling is not
     reasonably expected to last more than 10 days, and (v) operations will
     resume upon the earlier to occur of the resolution of the applicable
     Unforeseen Circumstances or 10 days.

     Any Waiver Request shall be in writing and shall:

         (A) provide PBGC, WHX and USWA with as much advance notice as
         practicable of the applicable Idling;

         (B) be provided as promptly as practicable after WPSC management has
         learned of the Unforeseen Circumstances or determined the applicable
         Idling to be necessary;

         (C) include a reasonably detailed description of (1) the Idling,
         including the Unforeseen Circumstances and the reason WPSC determined
         such Idling to be necessary, (2) the expected duration of the Idling
         (not to exceed 10 days), (3) the timeline of when WPSC management
         learned of the Unforeseen Circumstances and when WPSC management
         determined the Idling to be necessary, (4) the reason why WPSC believes
         60 days advance written notice would be impracticable to give, and (5)
         the number of employees affected by the Idling; and

         (D) include a certification by WPSC that (1) such Idling is not a
         Permanent Shutdown, (2) the Unforeseen Circumstances and other factors
         that caused the Idling are not of the kind or nature that would lead to
         a Permanent Shutdown (including a reasonably detailed explanation of
         why that is the case), and (3) notwithstanding the fact that WPSC does
         not believe such Idling is or will result in a Permanent Shutdown, if
         such Idling results in the need for or likelihood of a Permanent
         Shutdown, WPSC shall be required to and shall give 60 days advance
         written notice prior to any such Permanent Shutdown in accordance with
         clause 4(a)(i)(A) above.

     In the event that a Waiver Request is granted, WPSC shall provide PBGC, WHX
     and USWA with daily status reports on the progress of such Idling and an
     estimate of when operations will resume, commencing upon the 8th day
     following the commencement of such Idling and continuing until operations

                                      -5-



     have resumed (and shall provide a final notice to PBGC, WHX and USWA
     promptly when operations have resumed).

     The parties agree that it shall not be unreasonable for WHX, USWA and/or
     PBGC to deny a Waiver Request if such Waiver Request is not given by WPSC
     as promptly as practicable after WPSC management has learned of the
     Unforeseen Circumstances or determined the applicable Idling to be
     necessary.


     (d) (i) On or before the 5th day of each calendar quarter, WPSC shall
     provide PBGC, WHX and the USWA with a report (a "Maintenance Report") of
     maintenance, repairs, upgrades, enhancements, improvements and replacements
     ("Scheduled Maintenance Items") that WPSC has scheduled during the next 4
     calendar quarters. Each Maintenance Report shall contain for each Scheduled
     Maintenance Item (A) a reasonably detailed description of such Scheduled
     Maintenance Item, (B) the approximate timing, (C) the expected duration,
     (C) the equipment affected (or any new equipment being added or old
     equipment being removed), (D) the plant or location affected, and (B) the
     number of employees affected.

         (ii) Each Maintenance Report shall be accompanied by a certification by
     WPSC that (1) no Scheduled Maintenance Item is or will result in a
     Permanent Shutdown, (2) the Scheduled Maintenance Items and other factors
     that required the Scheduled Maintenance Items are not of the kind or nature
     that would lead to a Permanent Shutdown (including a reasonably detailed
     explanation of why that is the case), and (3) notwithstanding the fact that
     WPSC does not believe any Scheduled Maintenance Item is or will result in a
     Permanent Shutdown, if any such Scheduled Maintenance Item results in the
     need for or likelihood of a Permanent Shutdown, WPSC shall be required to
     and shall give 60 days advance written notice prior to any such Permanent
     Shutdown in accordance with clause 4(a)(i)(A) above.

         (iii) WPSC shall not be required to provide the notice required by
     Section 4(a)(i)(B) with respect to an Idling that (A) is not and will not
     be a Permanent Shutdown and (B) is solely and exclusively to perform a
     Scheduled Maintenance Item that was listed on a Maintenance Report
     satisfying the requirements of this paragraph 4(d) and that is performed in
     accordance with the description of such Scheduled Maintenance Item included
     in such Maintenance Report.

     (e) WPC agrees to cause WPSC to prepare and deliver all notices and reports
     required under this paragraph 4.

5.   WHX may refinance its existing WHX 10.5% Senior Notes (the "Notes"), which
     mature in April, 2005 at any time on an unsecured basis. If however, WHX
     obtains any financing on a secured basis (whether or not used to refinance
     the Notes) or provides or agrees to provide any security or collateral for
     the Notes or in connection with any extension of the maturity or
     modification or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of the Notes,
     then WHX shall simultaneously grant to PBGC, pursuant to documents
     reasonably satisfactory to PBGC, a pari passu, perfected security interest,
     up to $50 million (such amount to be calculated pursuant to Section
     4001(a)(18) of ERISA and PBGC regulations), in the same collateral as may
     secure such refinancing, extension or modification. WHX shall give PBGC
     reasonable advance written notice of any proposed secured financing or
     other grant of security or collateral (and in any event at least 30 days
     advance written notice). WHX reserves all rights to otherwise object to any
     claim that the PBGC may have. Any PBGC claim in excess of $50 million shall
     be an unsecured claim. All provisions of this paragraph 5 relating to a
     secured financing shall remain in effect only until the earlier of (a) the
     first business day after the second consecutive annual valuation date in
     which the Plan has sufficient assets so that there is no liability to PBGC
     under Section 4062 of ERISA in the event of Plan termination; or (b) the
     public unsecured debt of WHX is rated at least Baa3 by Moody's and at least
     BBB- by Standard and Poor's.

6.   WHX shall provide PBGC at least sixty days prior written notice before it
     (a) makes any tender offer, exchange offer, or other offer to pay,
     purchase, redeem, exchange, acquire, retire any of the Notes (before, at,
     or after the maturity (April 2005)) or (b) expends any funds or other
     resources or issues any securities or other obligations to pay, purchase,
     redeem, exchange, acquire, or retire any of the Notes or (c) extends the
     maturity of or otherwise amends or modifies any of the terms or provisions
     of the Notes (this notice provision shall not apply to unsecured
     refinancings of the Notes). In the event WHX fails to perform its
     obligation as set forth in the foregoing sentence, WHX shall be liable to
     PBGC (in addition to all other claims, rights and remedies available to
     PBGC) for any damages suffered or incurred by PBGC as a result of such
     failure to perform. Ronald LaBow, in his individual capacity, agrees to
     personally guarantee the payment of any such damages (together with any
     fees or expenses incurred in connection with enforcement of such guarantee)
     up to a maximum of $250,000 (plus the fees and expenses of enforcement of
     such guarantee) pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to PBGC.
     Ronald LaBow's guarantee will terminate at such time as he is no longer the
     Chairman of the Board of WHX and the new Chairman of the Board of WHX shall
     have replaced Ronald LaBow's guarantee with his or her own personal
     guarantee (in substantially the same form as LaBow's guarantee and, in any
     event, reasonably acceptable to PBGC).

7.   PBGC agrees: (a) not to institute any supplemental or additional
     proceedings to terminate the Plan prior to the effective date of the POR;
     and (b) to conditionally withdraw its claims in the Bankruptcy Proceedings.
     The parties acknowledge and agree that after the effective date of the POR,
     upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in paragraphs 10 and 14 of
     this Term Sheet, (1) WPC and WPSC will not be part of the same Controlled
     Group as WHX, (2) neither WPC nor WPSC will be a "Participating Employer"
     under the Plan, and (3) neither WPC nor WPSC shall have any liability under
     Section 4007, 4062(b), 4062(c), 4063, 4064 or 4069 of ERISA with respect to
     the Plan. WHX acknowledges and agrees that (A) it shall not object to any
     PBGC claim on the grounds that all or a portion of the liability sought is
     not payable by WHX or members of its Controlled Group because it should or
     must be allocated to WPSC, to any of the other Debtors, or to OCC, or
     because the amount of liability of WHX and its Controlled Group must be
     determined under the provisions of Section 4063 or 4064 of ERISA and (B)
     upon termination of the WHX Pension Plan, the amount of liability of WHX
     and its Controlled Group for unfunded benefit liabilities under the WHX





     Pension Plan, if any, shall be determined under the provisions of Section
     4062(b) of ERISA, subject to the provisions of this Term Sheet. Nothing in
     this Section 7 shall reduce, impair or otherwise limit any liability that
     WPC or WPSC would have to PBGC or WHX if WPC and/or WPSC breaches any of
     their obligations under this Term Sheet.

8.   If the conditions described in paragraph 10 and 14 are satisfied, PBGC,
     WHX, and USWA will sign a stipulation, or such other documents as may be
     required, to effect the dismissal of the Termination Litigation with
     prejudice.

9.   If the conditions described in paragraph 10 are not satisfied on or before
     June 30, 2003, or such date as may be extended by the Emergency Steel Loan
     Guaranty Board ("ESLGB"), then, within 10 days of such date, WHX and the
     USWA shall enter into a consent judgment terminating the Plan, appointing
     PBGC trustee of the Plan, and establishing March 7, 2003 as the termination
     date of the Plan, and WHX and the USWA shall promptly (and in any event
     within 10 days after requested to do so) execute, deliver and acknowledge
     or cause to be executed, delivered and acknowledged, such further documents
     and instruments and promptly (and in any event within 10 days after
     requested to do so) do such other acts as PBGC may reasonably request in
     order to fully effect the entry of such consent judgment. Such consent
     judgment shall also provide that WHX and its subsidiaries (other than the
     Debtors in the Bankruptcy Proceedings) shall maintain their right to
     contest the amount of their liability, if any, with respect to the Plan. In
     addition, upon the entry of such consent judgment (provided, that there has
     been no Permanent Shutdown prior to entry of such consent judgment), PBGC,
     WHX, WPSC and the USWA will acknowledge and agree that (a) the Plan has
     been terminated as of March 7, 2003 as a result of the entry of such
     consent judgment and (b) there has been no Permanent Shutdown prior to
     entry of such consent judgment, and (c) therefore WHX has no additional
     liability to PBGC with respect to the Plan under Title IV of ER1SA
     resulting from any Permanent Shutdown.

10.  The obligations of the parties (other than the obligations of the parties
     set forth in paragraphs 1 and 9 of this Term Sheet, which the parties
     expressly agree are binding obligations of the parties, effective
     immediately upon the execution of this Term Sheet) are expressly
     conditioned on the following: (a) all of the conditions set forth in the
     letter to the Royal Bank of Canada ("RBC") dated March 26, 2003 (other than
     the first condition) shall have been met by June 30, 2003, or such date as
     may be extended by the ESLGB, to the satisfaction of the ESLGB, including
     without limitation the conditions that the Court in the Bankruptcy
     Proceedings has issued a Confirmation Order that is not subject to appeal
     and the definitive USWA collective bargaining agreement has been ratified
     in accordance with USWA's internal governance procedures, including
     agreement to all terms set forth in this Term Sheet; (b) the guaranteed
     ESLGB loan has in fact been funded by June 30, 2003, or such date as may be
     extended by the ESLGB; and (c) no Permanent Shutdown has occurred.

11.  The confidentiality agreements between PBGC and WHX and PBGC and WPSC
     currently in effect shall each remain in effect during the term of the
     definitive documentation contemplated by this Term Sheet.


                                      -8-




12.  WHX, WPC, and WPSC shall provide reports to PBGC as specified in the
     definitive documentation, including but not limited to such reports as are
     required to be provided to the ESLGB and to RBC and any subsequent bank
     financing. WHX shall provide reports to PBGC as specified in the definitive
     documentation.

13.  USWA shall provide its affected members with a summary of those aspects of
     this Term Sheet affecting their rights as participants under the Plan, in
     particular paragraphs 2, 4 and 9.

14.  The obligations of the parties set forth in this Term Sheet (other than the
     obligations of the parties set forth in paragraphs 1 and 9 of this Term
     Sheet, which the parties expressly agree are binding obligations of the
     parties, effective immediately upon the execution of this Term Sheet) are
     subject to PBGC, WHX, WPC, WPSC, and USWA finalizing and executing
     definitive documentation that includes the essential terms provided herein
     and other terms mutually acceptable to the parties, on or before June 30,
     2003 (or such later date as the ESLGB may extend its willingness to provide
     the guaranteed loan). The parties acknowledge that, until such time as (a)
     the Bankruptcy Court approves WPSC's obligations hereunder and (b)
     definitive documentation satisfactory to PBGC shall have been finalized and
     executed (or such requirement waived by PBGC), resolution by WPSC of the
     treatment of the WHX pension plan that is acceptable to and approved by
     PBGC has not been achieved as required by the first condition of the
     ESLGB's letter to RBC dated March 26, 2003.

15.  All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall
     be in writing and shall be given,

            If to WHX:
