<PAGE>

law and regulation in connection with any liability, expense or damage which the
Executive incurs as a result of the Executive's employment and positions with
the Company and its current or future subsidiaries as contemplated by this

occupancy of all offices and positions which in the future are or were occupied

investigation or proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final
disposition thereof upon the receipt by the Company of an undertaking by the

agreement or contract or under applicable law.

Agreement, in the event that any payment or benefit under this Agreement or any
other agreement or arrangement of the Company received or to be received by the
Executive in connection with a Change in Control or the termination of the
Executive's employment (all such payments and benefits, the "Total Payments") is
determined to be subject (in whole or part) to the tax imposed by Section 4999
of the Code (the "Excise Tax"), then the Executive shall be entitled to receive
an additional payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that after
payment by the Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties
imposed with respect to such taxes), including without limitation any income
taxes and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an
amount equal to the Total Payments. All determinations required to be made under
this Section 4(g), including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and
the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in
arriving at such determination, shall be made by the Company's accountants or
such other certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Company
as may be designated by the Executive which shall provide detailed supporting
calculations both to the Company and the Executive.

5.    TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND EFFECTS THEREOF.

      (a) TERMINATION. This Agreement and the Executive's employment under this
Agreement may be terminated prior to its expiration under Section 3 in the
following circumstances. On any termination (including expiration of the term
hereof), the Executive (or in the event of his death, his estate) shall be
entitled to his then Salary and supplemental pension contribution (as described
in Section 4(d)(vii)) earned or

                                       4

<PAGE>

accrued but unpaid through the end of the month in which termination (including
death) occurred but the Company shall have only such further obligations to the
Executive, if any, as are specified below under the applicable termination
provisions.

            (i) UPON DEATH. In the event of the Executive's death during the
term hereof, the Executive's employment hereunder shall immediately and
automatically terminate.

            (ii) AS A RESULT OF DISABILITY. In the event that the Executive
becomes disabled during the term hereof within the meaning of the Company's then
applicable long-term disability plan, the Company may terminate the Executive's
employment without further obligation upon notice to the Executive. In the event
of such disability, the Executive will continue to receive his base salary and
benefits under Section 4 hereof until the earlier of his death or the date the
Executive becomes eligible for disability income under the Company's then
applicable long-term disability plan or workers' compensation insurance plan.

            (iii) BY THE COMPANY FOR CAUSE. The Company may terminate the
Executive's employment for Cause (as defined in subsection (b) below) at any
time upon notice to the Executive setting forth in reasonable detail the nature
of such Cause.

            (iv) BY THE COMPANY OTHER THAN FOR CAUSE. The Company may terminate
Executive's employment other than for Cause upon thirty (30) days notice to the
Executive (or at its option immediately with thirty (30) days continued
compensation, including then Salary and benefits, in lieu of such notice). In
the event of such termination, Executive (or in the event of his death following
termination, his estate) shall be entitled only to the additional amounts
described in subparagraphs (A) and (C) below and the continuation of health
insurance benefits described in subparagraph (B) below, subject to (D) below:

            (A) Salary Continuation. Under this subparagraph, the Executive
      shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to one (1) times his then
      Salary payable in a single lump sum within thirty (30) days of
      termination.

            (B) Health Care Continuation. If at his termination of employment by
      the Company without Cause the Executive is eligible to and timely elects
      continued health coverage under Sections 601-607 of ERISA ("COBRA
      Continuation") then, for the period of such COBRA Continuation (or for
      twelve (12) months, if less), the Company shall also pay that share of the
      premium cost of Executive's COBRA Continuation (and that of his eligible
      dependents also electing COBRA Continuation) in the Company's group health
      plan as it pays for active employees of the Company and their dependents
      generally.

                                       5

<PAGE>

            (C) Pro Rata Bonus. The Executive shall be entitled to a pro rata
      bonus in an amount determined under the terms of the applicable Company
      bonus plan, payable at the same time as executive bonuses are paid
      generally under the applicable Company bonus plan, but in no event later
      than March 31 of the year following the year in which the termination
      occurs.

            (D) Effect of Change of Control. In the event the Company terminates
      the Executive's employment other than for Cause within one (1) year
      following a Change of Control, the Executive shall be entitled to receive
      an amount equal to two (2) times his annual Salary at the highest
      annualized rate in effect during the one year immediately preceding the
      date of the Change of Control, payable in a single lump sum within thirty
      (30) days of termination, in lieu of the amount described in subparagraph
      (A) above, COBRA Continuation under subparagraph (B) above (but in this
      event, for a maximum of eighteen (18) months) and a pro rata bonus as
      determined under subparagraph (C) above. Anything in this Agreement to the
      contrary notwithstanding, if the Executive's employment with the Company
      is terminated other than for Cause prior to the date on which a Change of
      Control occurs, and it is reasonably demonstrated that such termination
      (i) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably
      calculated to effect a Change in Control or (ii) otherwise arose in
      connection with or anticipation of a Change in Control then for all
      purposes of this Agreement the date of the Change in Control shall mean
      the date immediately prior to the date of such termination.

            (v) BY THE EXECUTIVE. Executive may terminate his employment and
this Agreement for any or no reason whatsoever at any time upon sixty (60) days'
notice.

            (A) Good Reason. In the event the Executive gives such notice for
and within sixty (60) days of having Good Reason, on the effective date of his
resignation he shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to one (1) times his
annual Salary at the highest annualized rate in effect during the one year
immediately preceding the date of the date of termination, payable in a single
lump sum within thirty (30) days of termination, COBRA Continuation under
subparagraph (B) of paragraph (iv) above and a pro rata bonus under subparagraph
(C) of paragraph (iv) above.

            (B) Effect of Change of Control. In the event the Executive gives
such notice within the period of thirty (30) days beginning six (6) months
immediately following a Change of Control, regardless of whether the Executive
has Good Reason to terminate his employment, he shall receive the identical
benefits as if the termination had occurred under Section 5(a)(iv)(D) above. In
the event that at any time within one (1) year following a Change of Control the
Executive gives such notice for and within sixty (60) days of having Good
Reason, he shall receive the identical benefits as if the termination had
occurred under Section 5(a)(iv)(D) above. Anything in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, if the circumstances constituting Good Reason occur
prior to the date on which a Change of Control occurs, and it is reasonably

                                       6

<PAGE>

demonstrated that such circumstances (i) occurred at the request of a third
party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control or
(ii) otherwise arose in connection with or anticipation of a Change in Control
then for all purposes of this Agreement the date of the Change in Control shall
mean the date immediately prior to the occurrence of such circumstances.

            (C) Resignation Without Good Reason. In the event the Executive
resigns other than in the circumstances described in subparagraphs (A) and (B)
above, he shall not be entitled to any additional Salary or COBRA Continuation
or pro rata bonus. The Company may at its sole option waive the requirement of
advance notice and decline to accept the Executive's service for any period
following its receipt of notice, but in that event, Executive shall be entitled
to continued compensation in accordance with Section 4 for the entirety of the
otherwise applicable notice period as well as Salary and COBRA Continuation and
pro rata bonus in accordance with this paragraph if applicable.

            (vi) EXPIRATION. Immediately prior to the Expiration Date, if the
Executive is then employed, the Executive shall be entitled to receive an amount
equal to the monthly equivalent of his then Salary multiplied by his full years
and fraction of year of service with the Company, its affiliates and their
predecessors (but not more than one (1) times his then Salary) payable in a
single lump sum within thirty (30) days of such Expiration Date, COBRA
Continuation under subparagraph (B) of paragraph (iv) above and a pro rata bonus
under subparagraph (C) of paragraph (iv) above. The Salary benefit provided by
this paragraph (vi) shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount of any
other cash severance benefit to which the Executive may then be entitled under
any general severance plan or policy of the Company. If the Company and the
Executive extend this Agreement, or enter into a new employment agreement,
providing for the Executive's continued employment after the Expiration Date,
the Executive shall not be entitled to the benefits in this subparagraph and
such benefits shall not necessarily be required to become a part of such
extended or new agreement.

      (b) DEFINITIONS. For these purposes:

            (i) "Cause" means the Executive has: (A) been convicted of, or has
pled guilty or nolo contendere to, or been indicted for any felony, or any

that if such failure continues it will be deemed a basis for a "For Cause"
dismissal; or (E) acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the
performance of the Executive's duties. No act, or failure to act, on the
Executive's part shall be deemed "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done,
by the Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the
Executive's act, or failure to act, was in the best

                                       7

<PAGE>

interest of the Company. Following a Change of Control, subsection (D) above

following: (A) a merger or consolidation of Parent or the Company with or into
another person or the sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the Parent's or Company's assets to one or more other

securities possessing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of the
survivor's or acquirer's outstanding securities (or the securities of any parent
thereof) are held by a person or persons who held securities possessing more
than 50% of the total combined voting power of Parent immediately prior to that
transaction; (B) any person or group of persons (within the meaning of Section
13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and in effect from
time to time), other than the Parent, the Company or an affiliate, directly or

Exchange Commission Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the said Exchange Act) of
securities possessing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of the
Parent's outstanding securities pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made

months or less, there is a change in the composition of the Board such that a
majority of the members of the Board (rounded up to the next whole number, if a
fraction) ceases to be composed of individuals who either (1) have been members
of the Board continuously since the beginning of the 36-month period referred to
above or (2) have been elected or nominated for election as Board members during
such period by at least a majority of the members Board described in the
preceding clause (1) who were still in office at the time that election or
nomination was approved by the Board, provided, however, that a Change of
Control shall be deemed to have occurred in any event if, by reason of one or
more actual or threatened proxy contests for the election of directors or
otherwise, a majority of the Board shall consist of individuals, other than
directors referred to in clause (1) above, whose election as members of the
Board occur within such 36-month period at the request or on behalf of the same

to a location more than seventy-five miles distant from his principal place of
employment as of the Effective Date; (C) a reduction by the Company in the
Executive's annual base salary as in effect on the date hereof or as the same
may be increased from time to time except for across-the-board salary reductions
similarly affecting all senior executives of the Company and all senior
executives of any person in control of the Company; (D) the failure by the
Company to continue in effect any compensation plan in which the Executive
participates which is material to the Executive's total compensation, or the
failure by the Company to continue the Executive's participation therein on a
basis not materially less favorable,

                                       8

<PAGE>

both in terms of the amount of benefits provided and the level of the
Executive's participation relative to other participants; or (E) the failure by
the Company to continue to provide the Executive with benefits substantially
similar to those enjoyed by the Executive under any of the Company's pension,
life insurance, medical, health and accident, or disability plans at any time
subsequent to the Effective Date, or the taking of any action by the Company
which would directly or indirectly materially reduce any of such benefits or
deprive the Executive of any material fringe benefit enjoyed by the Executive at
any time subsequent to the Effective Date. The events described in (D) and (E)
above shall not constitute "Good Reason" where they are the direct result of the
elimination or modification of benefit plans or arrangements by the Company with
respect to employees generally, however.

      (c) CESSATION OF AUTHORITY ON TERMINATION. Immediately upon the Executive
terminating or being terminated from his position with the Company for any
reason or no reason, the Executive will stop serving the functions of the

      (d) NO OBLIGATION TO MITIGATE. Executive shall not be required to seek
other employment or income to reduce any amounts payable to the Executive by the
Company under this Section. Further, except as otherwise provided in subsection
(a)(vi) the amount of any payment or benefit provided for by this Section shall
not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of
employment by another employer, retirement benefits, by offset against any
amount claimed to be owed by the Executive to the Company, or otherwise.

      (e) RELEASE OF CLAIMS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall
not be entitled to any additional amounts under this Section unless within
twenty-one (21) days following his termination he shall have executed and
delivered to the Company a general release of claims in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit A.

6.    PROVISIONS RELATING TO EXECUTIVE CONDUCT AND TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

      (a) CONFIDENTIALITY. The Executive recognizes and acknowledges that
certain assets of the Company constitute Confidential Information. The term
"Confidential Information" as used in this Agreement shall mean all information
which is known only to the Executive or the Company, other employees or others
in a confidential relationship with the Company and any persons controlling,
controlled by or under common control with the Company (each, an "Affiliate")
and their respective employees, officers and partners), and relating to the
Company' or any Affiliate's business (including, without limitation, information
regarding clients, customers, pricing policies, methods of operation,
proprietary computer programs, sales, products, profits,

                                       9

<PAGE>

costs, markets, key personnel, formulae, product applications, technical
processes, and trade secrets), as such information may exist from time to time,
which the Executive acquired or obtained by virtue of work performed for the
Company, or which the Executive may acquire or may have acquired knowledge of
during the performance of said work. The Executive agrees that at all times
during his employment and thereafter (including periods after the term of this
Agreement), he will keep and maintain all Confidential Information and all of
the affairs of the Company and its Affiliates confidential, and will not, except
(1) as necessary for the performance of his responsibilities hereunder or (2) as
required by judicial process and after three days prior notice to the Company
unless required earlier by a court order or a legal requirement, disclose to any
person for any reason or purpose whatsoever, directly or indirectly, all or any
part of the Confidential Information of the Company and its Affiliates. The
Executive is not bound by the restrictions in this paragraph with respect to any
information that becomes public other than as a consequence of the breach by the
Executive of his confidentiality obligations hereunder or is disclosed without
an obligation of confidentiality. The Executive can disclose all information to
his personal advisors subject to becoming liable for any violation by them of
Executive's confidentiality obligations.

      (b) RETURN OF MATERIALS. The Executive agrees that on the termination of
his employment, however such termination may occur, the Executive will promptly
return to the Company all materials and other property from time to time held by
the Executive and proprietary to the Company including without limitation any
documents incorporating, reflecting or reproducing in whole or in part any
Confidential Information, credit cards, and the like.

      (c) NON-SOLICITATION AND NON-COMPETE. The Executive agrees that,

            (i) during the term hereof, he will not, directly or indirectly,
either as a principal, agent, employee, employer, stockholder, co-partner or in
any other capacity whatsoever, engage in any outside activity, whether or not
competitive with the business of the Company, that could foreseeably give rise
to a conflict of interest or otherwise interfere with his duties and obligations
to the Company;

            (ii) during the term hereof and for twenty-four (24) months after
the term, he will not, directly or indirectly, either as a principal, agent,
employee, employer, stockholder, co-partner or in any other capacity whatsoever,
solicit, hire or attempt to hire, or assist others in soliciting, hiring or
attempting to hire, any individual employed by the Company at any time while the
Executive was also so employed, or encourage any such individual to terminate
his or her relationship with the Company; and

            (iii) during the term hereof, he will not, directly or indirectly,
either as a principal, agent, employee, employer, stockholder, co-partner or in
any other capacity whatsoever, engage in or undertake any planning for any
activity which is

                                       10

<PAGE>

competitive with the business of the Company, as conducted or under
consideration at any time during his employment by the Company.

      (d) REASONABLENESS OF RESTRICTIONS. The restrictions against activities
set forth in subsection (c) above are considered by the parties to be reasonable
for the purposes of protecting the business of the Company. If any restriction
is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because it
extends for too long a period of time, over too broad a range of activities or
in too large a geographic area, that restriction shall be interpreted to extend
only over the maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area as
to which it may be enforceable.

      (e) NONINTERFERENCE. In the event of any dispute under this Agreement or
otherwise relating to the Executive's relationship with the Company, any
Affiliate of the Company, or their respective principals or management, whether
or not during the term of this Agreement, the Executive agrees not to bring any
legal proceeding or take any legal action to seek to enjoin or otherwise impede
the purchase, sale, financing, refinancing, development, establishment or
operation of any business venture or entity in which any of such persons or
entities has any interest.

7.    MISCELLANEOUS.

      (a) FREEDOM TO CONTRACT. The Executive represents that he is free to enter
into this Agreement and carry out his obligations hereunder without any conflict
with any prior agreements, and that he has not made and will not make any
agreement in conflict with this Agreement.

      (b) ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement represents the entire and only
understanding between the parties on the subject matter hereof and supersedes
any other agreements or understandings between them on such subject matter.

      (c) SPECIFIC ENFORCEMENT. The parties acknowledge and agree that the
Executive's breach of the provisions of Sections 6 and 7 of this Agreement may
cause irreparable harm to the Company, that the remedy of damages will not be
adequate for the enforcement of such provisions, and that such provisions may be
enforced by equitable relief, including injunctive relief, which relief shall be
cumulative and in addition to any other relief to which the Company may be
entitled.

      (d) BINDING EFFECT; SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators,
successors and assigns of the respective parties. Without the express written
consent of the other party, neither the Company nor the Executive may assign any
duties or right or interest hereunder or right to receive any money hereunder
and any such assignment shall be void; provided, however, that without the
Executive's consent the Company may assign its rights and obligations hereunder
in their entirety to any successor to all or substantially all of its business,
whether affected by merger or otherwise. The preceding sentence, however, shall
not prevent the transfer of any right or interest to

                                       11

<PAGE>

receive any money hereunder by the Executive by way of testamentary disposition
or intestate succession. The Company shall require any successor or assign
(whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, reorganization, consolidation,
acquisition or property or stock, liquidation or otherwise) to all or a
significant portion of the assets of the Company, by agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to the Executive, to expressly assume and agree to
perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the
Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.
Regardless of whether such agreement is executed by a successor, this Agreement
shall continue to be binding upon the Company and any successor and assign shall
be deemed the "Company" for purposes of this Agreement.

      (e) SEVERABILITY. In the event any provision of this Agreement shall be
determined in any circumstances to be invalid or unenforceable, such
determination shall not affect or impair any other provision of this Agreement
or the enforcement of such provision in other appropriate circumstances.

      (f) NOTICES. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in
writing or by written telecommunication, and shall be deemed to have been duly
given if delivered personally or if sent by overnight courier or by certified
mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid or sent by written

      (g) ARBITRATION OF CLAIMS. The parties hereto agree that except as
provided in Section 7(c) above any dispute hereunder, or otherwise relating to
the Executive's relationship with the Company, whether or not arising during the
term of this Agreement, shall be resolved by submission to final and binding
arbitration held in

                                       12
<PAGE>

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania or as otherwise mutually agreed under the National
Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration
Association then existing, and judgment on any arbitration award may be entered
in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any cause of action or matter in dispute
is hereby waived unless arbitration proceedings are initiated by the complaining
party within one (1) year from the later of the accrual of the cause of action
or the date on which the cause of action should reasonably have been discovered.
The Executive and the Company agree any such arbitrator shall not be empowered
to amend or modify this Agreement or any other relevant agreement in any respect
and further agree that the arbitrator shall not have the jurisdiction to award
punitive damages and shall be without the authority to award relief other than
monetary damages. Executive and the Company understand and agree that the
Company shall bear the arbitrator's fee and any other type of expense or cost
that Executive would not be required to bear if Executive were free to bring the
dispute or claim in court as well as any other expense or cost that is unique to
arbitration. Except as noted in Section 7 (i) below, Executive and the Company
shall each pay their own attorneys' fees incurred in connection with an
arbitration, and the arbitrator will not have authority to award attorneys' fees
unless a statute or contract at issue in the dispute authorizes the award of
attorneys' fees to the prevailing party, in which case the arbitrator shall have
the authority to make an award of attorneys' fees as required or permitted by
applicable law. If there is a dispute as to whether Executive or the Company is
the prevailing party, the arbitrator will decide this issue. Any cause of action
or matter in dispute is hereby waived unless arbitration proceedings are
initiated by the complaining party within one (1) year from the later of the
accrual of the cause of action or the date on which the cause of action should
reasonably have been discovered.

      (h) JURY & PUNITIVE DAMAGES WAIVER. EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY AND
ALL RIGHTS THAT HE OR IT MAY HAVE TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE (WHETHER OR NOT ARISING
DURING THE TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT) HEREUNDER OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO THE
EXECUTIVE'S RELATIONSHIP WITH THE EMPLOYER OR ANY AFFILIATE TRIED BEFORE OR
DETERMINED BY A JURY OR TO CLAIM OR RECOVER PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

      (i) REIMBURSEMENT OF LEGAL FEES. In the event that it shall be necessary
or desirable for the Executive to retain legal counsel or incur other costs and
expenses in connection with the enforcement of any or all of his rights under
Agreement, and provided that the Executive substantially prevails in the
enforcement of such rights, the Company shall pay (or the Executive shall be
entitled to recover from the Company, as the case may be) the Executive's
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs and expenses in connection with the
enforcement of his rights, including the enforcement of any arbitration award,
up to $50,000 in the aggregate.

      (j) AMENDMENT. This Agreement may be modified only by an instrument in
writing executed by the parties hereto.

      (k) INTERPRETATIVE MATTERS; COUNTERPARTS. The headings of sections of this
Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect its

                                       13
<PAGE>

meaning or construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to
be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no
rule of strict construction will be applied against any party. No delay or
omission by either party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall impair such right, power or privilege, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. This
Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. In making proof of this Agreement it shall not be necessary to
produce or account for more than one such counterpart.

      (l) GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement is to be governed and construed
according to the internal substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

      (m) CONFLICTS. To the extent that this Agreement conflicts with any
provision, in any handbook, policy manual, rule or regulation, the provisions of
this Agreement shall take precedent.

      (n) CONSULTATION WITH COUNSEL. The Executive acknowledges that he has had
a full and complete opportunity to consult with counsel or other advisers of his
own choosing concerning the terms, enforceability and implications of this
Agreement, and that the Company has made any representations or warranties to
the Executive concerning the terms, enforceability and implications of this
Agreement other than as are reflected in this Agreement.

      (o) WITHHOLDING. Any payments provided for in this Agreement shall be paid

                                RELEASE OF CLAIMS

In exchange for the severance pay and other benefits set forth in my amended and
restated employment agreement with Wheeling-Pittsburgh (the "Company") dated
February 16, 2005 (as amended through the date hereof, the "Employment
Agreement"), I forever give up, waive and release any and all claims, charges,
complaints, grievances or promises of any and every kind I may have up to the
date of this Release against the Company, its parent, Wheeling-Pittsburgh
Corporation, and other affiliates and its and their directors, officers and
employees, and related persons, including, without limitation, my rights under
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Civil Rights Act of
1991, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"), the Equal Pay Act,
the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"), the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act ("ADEA") and other federal and state statutes prohibiting
discrimination on the basis of age, sex, race, color, handicap, religion and
national origin and any common law claims, including without limitation, claims
for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, intentional
interference with contract, negligent infliction of emotional distress, personal
injury, breach of contract, unpaid wages or compensation, or claims for
unreimbursed expenses. This release shall not extend to any claim to amounts due
me in accordance with the terms of my Employment Agreement after termination of
my employment or to claims to indemnity I may have under the terms of my
Employment Agreement, applicable law, or the Company's or its parent's articles
of organization or bylaws for having served as a director, officer or employee
of the Company, its parent or any affiliate.

I acknowledge that I have been advised of my right to consult an attorney before
I sign this Release and that I have twenty-one (21) days to consider whether to
sign this Release. If the Release is not received by the Company at the end of
the twenty-one (21) day period, it will be considered expired and withdrawn and
the Company's severance obligations under my Employment Agreement void. If I
execute this Release prior to the end of the twenty-one (21) day period that has
been provided for me to consider it, I agree and acknowledge that the prior
execution was a knowing and voluntary waiver of my right to consider this
Release for a full twenty-one (21) days, and was due to my conclusion that I had
ample time in which to consider and understand this Release, and in which to
review this Release with my counsel.

Nothing in this Release shall be construed to affect the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission's ("Commission") independent right and responsibility to
enforce the law. I understand, however, that, while this Release does not affect
my right to file a charge or participate in an investigation or proceeding
conducted by the Commission, it does bar any claim I might have to receive
monetary damages in connection with any Commission proceeding concerning matters
covered by this Release.

                                       1

I understand I have the right to revoke this Release within seven (7) days of
signing it. I understand that to revoke this Release, I must notice the Company
in writing in accordance with the notice procedures set forth in my Employment
Agreement.

an additional payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that after
payment by the Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties
imposed with respect to such taxes), including without limitation any income
taxes and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an
amount equal to the Total Payments. All determinations required to be made under
this Section 4(g), including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and
the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in
arriving at such determination, shall be made by the Company's accountants or
such other certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Company
as may be designated by the Executive which shall provide detailed supporting
calculations both to the Company and the Executive.

      event, for a maximum of eighteen (18) months) and a pro rata bonus as
      determined under subparagraph (C) above. Anything in this Agreement to the
      contrary notwithstanding, if the Executive's employment with the Company
      is terminated other than for Cause prior to the date on which a Change of
      Control occurs, and it is reasonably demonstrated that such termination
      (i) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably
      calculated to effect a Change in Control or (ii) otherwise arose in
      connection with or anticipation of a Change in Control then for all
      purposes of this Agreement the date of the Change in Control shall mean
      the date immediately prior to the date of such termination.

            (v) BY THE EXECUTIVE. Executive may terminate his employment and
this Agreement for any or no reason whatsoever at any time upon sixty (60) days'
notice.

            (A) Good Reason. In the event the Executive gives such notice for
and within sixty (60) days of having Good Reason, on the effective date of his
resignation he shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to one (1) times his
annual Salary at the highest annualized rate in effect during the one year
immediately preceding the date of the date of termination, payable in a single
lump sum within thirty (30) days of termination, COBRA Continuation under
subparagraph (B) of paragraph (iv) above and a pro rata bonus under subparagraph
(C) of paragraph (iv) above.

            (B) Effect of Change of Control. In the event the Executive gives
such notice within the period of thirty (30) days beginning six (6) months
immediately following a Change of Control, regardless of whether the Executive
has Good Reason to terminate his employment, he shall receive the identical
benefits as if the termination had occurred under Section 5(a)(iv)(D) above. In
the event that at any time within one (1) year following a Change of Control the
Executive gives such notice for and within sixty (60) days of having Good
Reason, he shall receive the identical benefits as if the termination had
occurred under Section 5(a)(iv)(D) above. Anything in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, if the circumstances constituting Good Reason occur
prior to the date on which a Change of Control occurs, and it is reasonably

                                       6
<PAGE>

demonstrated that such circumstances (i) occurred at the request of a third
party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control or
(ii) otherwise arose in connection with or anticipation of a Change in Control
then for all purposes of this Agreement the date of the Change in Control shall
mean the date immediately prior to the occurrence of such circumstances.

            (C) Resignation Without Good Reason. In the event the Executive
resigns other than in the circumstances described in subparagraphs (A) and (B)
above, he shall not be entitled to any additional Salary or COBRA Continuation
or pro rata bonus. The Company may at its sole option waive the requirement of
advance notice and decline to accept the Executive's service for any period
following its receipt of notice, but in that event, Executive shall be entitled
to continued compensation in accordance with Section 4 for the entirety of the
otherwise applicable notice period as well as Salary and COBRA Continuation and
pro rata bonus in accordance with this paragraph if applicable.

            (vi) EXPIRATION. Immediately prior to the Expiration Date, if the
Executive is then employed, the Executive shall be entitled to receive an amount
equal to the monthly equivalent of his then Salary multiplied by his full years
and fraction of year of service with the Company, its affiliates and their
predecessors (but not more than one (1) times his then Salary) payable in a
single lump sum within thirty (30) days of such Expiration Date, COBRA
Continuation under subparagraph (B) of paragraph (iv) above and a pro rata bonus
under subparagraph (C) of paragraph (iv) above. The Salary benefit provided by
this paragraph (vi) shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount of any
other cash severance benefit to which the Executive may then be entitled under
any general severance plan or policy of the Company. If the Company and the
Executive extend this Agreement, or enter into a new employment agreement,
providing for the Executive's continued employment after the Expiration Date,
the Executive shall not be entitled to the benefits in this subparagraph and
such benefits shall not necessarily be required to become a part of such
extended or new agreement.

      (b)   DEFINITIONS. For these purposes:

            (i) "Cause" means the Executive has: (A) been convicted of, or has
pled guilty or nolo contendere to, or been indicted for any felony, or any
misdemeanor involving moral turpitude under the laws of the United States or any
state or political subdivisions thereof; (B) committed a breach of duty of
loyalty which is detrimental to the Company; (C) materially violated any
provision of Section 6 of this Agreement; (D) failed to perform or adhere to
explicitly stated duties or guidelines of employment or to follow the directives
of the Board (which are not unlawful to perform or to adhere to or follow and
which are within the scope of Executive's duties) following a written warning
that if such failure continues it will be deemed a basis for a "For Cause"
dismissal; or (E) acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the
performance of the Executive's duties. No act, or failure to act, on the
Executive's part shall be deemed "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done,
by the Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the
Executive's act, or failure to act, was in the best

                                       7
<PAGE>

interest of the Company. Following a Change of Control, subsection (D) above
shall be deleted from this definition of "Cause."

            (ii) "Change of Control" means the occurrence of any of the
following: (A) a merger or consolidation of Parent or the Company with or into
another person or the sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the Parent's or Company's assets to one or more other
persons in a single transaction or series of related transactions, unless
securities possessing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of the
survivor's or acquirer's outstanding securities (or the securities of any parent
thereof) are held by a person or persons who held securities possessing more
than 50% of the total combined voting power of Parent immediately prior to that
transaction; (B) any person or group of persons (within the meaning of Section
13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and in effect from
time to time), other than the Parent, the Company or an affiliate, directly or
indirectly acquires beneficial ownership (determined pursuant to Securities and
Exchange Commission Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the said Exchange Act) of
securities possessing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of the
Parent's outstanding securities pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made
directly to the Parent's stockholders; or (C) over a period of 36 consecutive
months or less, there is a change in the composition of the Board such that a
majority of the members of the Board (rounded up to the next whole number, if a
fraction) ceases to be composed of individuals who either (1) have been members
of the Board continuously since the beginning of the 36-month period referred to
above or (2) have been elected or nominated for election as Board members during
such period by at least a majority of the members Board described in the
preceding clause (1) who were still in office at the time that election or
nomination was approved by the Board, provided, however, that a Change of
Control shall be deemed to have occurred in any event if, by reason of one or
more actual or threatened proxy contests for the election of directors or
otherwise, a majority of the Board shall consist of individuals, other than
directors referred to in clause (1) above, whose election as members of the
Board occur within such 36-month period at the request or on behalf of the same
person or group of persons (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and in effect from time to time).

            (iii) "Good Reason" means (A) the assignment to the Executive of any
duties inconsistent with the Executive's status as a senior executive officer of
the Company or a meaningful alteration, adverse to the Executive, in the nature
or status of the Executive's responsibilities (other than reporting
responsibilities); (B) permanent relocation of his principal place of employment
to a location more than seventy-five miles distant from his principal place of
employment as of the Effective Date; (C) a reduction by the Company in the
Executive's annual base salary as in effect on the date hereof or as the same
may be increased from time to time except for across-the-board salary reductions
similarly affecting all senior executives of the Company and all senior
executives of any person in control of the Company; (D) the failure by the
Company to continue in effect any compensation plan in which the Executive
participates which is material to the Executive's total compensation, or the
failure by the Company to continue the Executive's participation therein on a
basis not materially less favorable,

                                       8
<PAGE>

both in terms of the amount of benefits provided and the level of the
Executive's participation relative to other participants; or (E) the failure by
the Company to continue to provide the Executive with benefits substantially
similar to those enjoyed by the Executive under any of the Company's pension,
life insurance, medical, health and accident, or disability plans at any time
subsequent to the Effective Date, or the taking of any action by the Company
which would directly or indirectly materially reduce any of such benefits or
deprive the Executive of any material fringe benefit enjoyed by the Executive at
any time subsequent to the Effective Date. The events described in (D) and (E)
above shall not constitute "Good Reason" where they are the direct result of the
elimination or modification of benefit plans or arrangements by the Company with
respect to employees generally, however.

      (c) CESSATION OF AUTHORITY ON TERMINATION. Immediately upon the Executive
terminating or being terminated from his position with the Company for any
reason or no reason, the Executive will stop serving the functions of the
terminated or expired position or any other positions with any affiliate, and
shall be without any of the authority of or responsible for any such position.
On request of the Board, at any time following his termination of employment for
any reason or no reason, the Executive shall resign from the Board if then a
member and the board of directors of the Company or any other subsidiary of
Parent or which he is then a member.

      (d) NO OBLIGATION TO MITIGATE. Executive shall not be required to seek
other employment or income to reduce any amounts payable to the Executive by the
Company under this Section. Further, except as otherwise provided in subsection
(a)(vi) the amount of any payment or benefit provided for by this Section shall
not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of
employment by another employer, retirement benefits, by offset against any
amount claimed to be owed by the Executive to the Company, or otherwise.

      (e) RELEASE OF CLAIMS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall
not be entitled to any additional amounts under this Section unless within
twenty-one (21) days following his termination he shall have executed and
delivered to the Company a general release of claims in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit A.

6.    PROVISIONS RELATING TO EXECUTIVE CONDUCT AND TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

      (a) CONFIDENTIALITY. The Executive recognizes and acknowledges that
certain assets of the Company constitute Confidential Information. The term
"Confidential Information" as used in this Agreement shall mean all information
which is known only to the Executive or the Company, other employees or others
in a confidential relationship with the Company and any persons controlling,
controlled by or under common control with the Company (each, an "Affiliate")
and their respective employees, officers and partners), and relating to the
Company' or any Affiliate's business (including, without limitation, information
regarding clients, customers, pricing policies, methods of operation,
proprietary computer programs, sales, products, profits,

                                       9
<PAGE>

costs, markets, key personnel, formulae, product applications, technical
processes, and trade secrets), as such information may exist from time to time,
which the Executive acquired or obtained by virtue of work performed for the
Company, or which the Executive may acquire or may have acquired knowledge of
during the performance of said work. The Executive agrees that at all times
during his employment and thereafter (including periods after the term of this
Agreement), he will keep and maintain all Confidential Information and all of
the affairs of the Company and its Affiliates confidential, and will not, except
(1) as necessary for the performance of his responsibilities hereunder or (2) as
required by judicial process and after three days prior notice to the Company
unless required earlier by a court order or a legal requirement, disclose to any
person for any reason or purpose whatsoever, directly or indirectly, all or any
part of the Confidential Information of the Company and its Affiliates. The
Executive is not bound by the restrictions in this paragraph with respect to any
information that becomes public other than as a consequence of the breach by the
Executive of his confidentiality obligations hereunder or is disclosed without
an obligation of confidentiality. The Executive can disclose all information to
his personal advisors subject to becoming liable for any violation by them of
Executive's confidentiality obligations.

      (b) RETURN OF MATERIALS. The Executive agrees that on the termination of
his employment, however such termination may occur, the Executive will promptly
return to the Company all materials and other property from time to time held by
the Executive and proprietary to the Company including without limitation any
documents incorporating, reflecting or reproducing in whole or in part any
Confidential Information, credit cards, and the like.

      (c) NON-SOLICITATION AND NON-COMPETE. The Executive agrees that,

            (i) during the term hereof, he will not, directly or indirectly,
either as a principal, agent, employee, employer, stockholder, co-partner or in
any other capacity whatsoever, engage in any outside activity, whether or not
competitive with the business of the Company, that could foreseeably give rise
to a conflict of interest or otherwise interfere with his duties and obligations
to the Company;

            (ii) during the term hereof and for twenty-four (24) months after
the term, he will not, directly or indirectly, either as a principal, agent,
employee, employer, stockholder, co-partner or in any other capacity whatsoever,
solicit, hire or attempt to hire, or assist others in soliciting, hiring or
attempting to hire, any individual employed by the Company at any time while the
Executive was also so employed, or encourage any such individual to terminate
his or her relationship with the Company; and

            (iii) during the term hereof and for twenty-four (24) months after
the term, he will not, directly or indirectly, either as a principal, agent,
employee, employer, stockholder, co-partner or in any other capacity whatsoever,
engage in or

                                       10
<PAGE>

undertake any planning the development, construction or operation of continuous
electric arc furnace steel manufacturing or its technology or operating
practices.

      (d) REASONABLENESS OF RESTRICTIONS. The restrictions against activities
set forth in subsection (c) above are considered by the parties to be reasonable
for the purposes of protecting the business of the Company. If any restriction
is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because it
extends for too long a period of time, over too broad a range of activities or
in too large a geographic area, that restriction shall be interpreted to extend
only over the maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area as
to which it may be enforceable.

      (e) NONINTERFERENCE. In the event of any dispute under this Agreement or
otherwise relating to the Executive's relationship with the Company, any
Affiliate of the Company, or their respective principals or management, whether
or not during the term of this Agreement, the Executive agrees not to bring any
legal proceeding or take any legal action to seek to enjoin or otherwise impede
the purchase, sale, financing, refinancing, development, establishment or
operation of any business venture or entity in which any of such persons or
entities has any interest.

7.    MISCELLANEOUS.

      (a) FREEDOM TO CONTRACT. The Executive represents that he is free to enter
into this Agreement and carry out his obligations hereunder without any conflict
with any prior agreements, and that he has not made and will not make any
agreement in conflict with this Agreement.

      (b) ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement represents the entire and only
understanding between the parties on the subject matter hereof and supersedes
any other agreements or understandings between them on such subject matter.

      (c) SPECIFIC ENFORCEMENT. The parties acknowledge and agree that the
Executive's breach of the provisions of Sections 6 and 7 of this Agreement may
cause irreparable harm to the Company, that the remedy of damages will not be
adequate for the enforcement of such provisions, and that such provisions may be
enforced by equitable relief, including injunctive relief, which relief shall be
cumulative and in addition to any other relief to which the Company may be
entitled.

      (d) BINDING EFFECT; SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators,
successors and assigns of the respective parties. Without the express written
consent of the other party, neither the Company nor the Executive may assign any
duties or right or interest hereunder or right to receive any money hereunder
and any such assignment shall be void; provided, however, that without the
Executive's consent the Company may assign its rights and obligations hereunder
in their entirety to any successor to all or substantially all of its business,
whether affected by merger or otherwise. The preceding sentence, however, shall
not prevent the transfer of any right or interest to

                                       11
<PAGE>

receive any money hereunder by the Executive by way of testamentary disposition
or intestate succession. The Company shall require any successor or assign
(whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, reorganization, consolidation,
acquisition or property or stock, liquidation or otherwise) to all or a
significant portion of the assets of the Company, by agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to the Executive, to expressly assume and agree to
perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the
Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.
Regardless of whether such agreement is executed by a successor, this Agreement
shall continue to be binding upon the Company and any successor and assign shall
be deemed the "Company" for purposes of this Agreement.

      (e) SEVERABILITY. In the event any provision of this Agreement shall be
determined in any circumstances to be invalid or unenforceable, such
determination shall not affect or impair any other provision of this Agreement
or the enforcement of such provision in other appropriate circumstances.

      (f) NOTICES. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in
writing or by written telecommunication, and shall be deemed to have been duly
given if delivered personally or if sent by overnight courier or by certified
mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid or sent by written
telecommunication or telecopy, to the relevant address set forth below, or to
such other address as the recipient of such notice or communication shall have
specified to the other party hereto in accordance with this Section 7(f):

            If to the Company, to:

            Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corporation
            1134 Market Street
            Wheeling, WV  26003
            Attention:  Chief Executive Officer
            Telecopy:  304-234-2690

            with a copy to the Company's Chief Financial Officer at the same
address.

If to the Executive, at his last residence shown on the records of the Company.

Any such notice shall be deemed to have been received (i) if delivered
personally, when received, (ii) if sent by overnight courier, when sent, (iii)
if mailed, two (2) days after being mailed as described above and (iv) in the
case of facsimile transmission, when confirmed by facsimile machine report.

      (g) ARBITRATION OF CLAIMS. The parties hereto agree that except as
provided in Section 7(c) above any dispute hereunder, or otherwise relating to
the Executive's relationship with the Company, whether or not arising during the
term of this Agreement, shall be resolved by submission to final and binding
arbitration held in

                                       12
<PAGE>

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania or as otherwise mutually agreed under the National
Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration
Association then existing, and judgment on any arbitration award may be entered
in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any cause of action or matter in dispute
is hereby waived unless arbitration proceedings are initiated by the complaining
party within one (1) year from the later of the accrual of the cause of action
or the date on which the cause of action should reasonably have been discovered.
The Executive and the Company agree any such arbitrator shall not be empowered
to amend or modify this Agreement or any other relevant agreement in any respect
and further agree that the arbitrator shall not have the jurisdiction to award
punitive damages and shall be without the authority to award relief other than
monetary damages. Executive and the Company understand and agree that the
Company shall bear the arbitrator's fee and any other type of expense or cost
that Executive would not be required to bear if Executive were free to bring the
dispute or claim in court as well as any other expense or cost that is unique to
arbitration. Except as noted in Section 7 (i) below, Executive and the Company
shall each pay their own attorneys' fees incurred in connection with an
arbitration, and the arbitrator will not have authority to award attorneys' fees
unless a statute or contract at issue in the dispute authorizes the award of
attorneys' fees to the prevailing party, in which case the arbitrator shall have
the authority to make an award of attorneys' fees as required or permitted by
applicable law. If there is a dispute as to whether Executive or the Company is
the prevailing party, the arbitrator will decide this issue. Any cause of action
or matter in dispute is hereby waived unless arbitration proceedings are
initiated by the complaining party within one (1) year from the later of the
accrual of the cause of action or the date on which the cause of action should
reasonably have been discovered.

      (h) JURY & PUNITIVE DAMAGES WAIVER. EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY AND
ALL RIGHTS THAT HE OR IT MAY HAVE TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE (WHETHER OR NOT ARISING
DURING THE TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT) HEREUNDER OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO THE
EXECUTIVE'S RELATIONSHIP WITH THE EMPLOYER OR ANY AFFILIATE TRIED BEFORE OR
DETERMINED BY A JURY OR TO CLAIM OR RECOVER PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

      (i) REIMBURSEMENT OF LEGAL FEES. In the event that it shall be necessary
or desirable for the Executive to retain legal counsel or incur other costs and
expenses in connection with the enforcement of any or all of his rights under
Agreement, and provided that the Executive substantially prevails in the
enforcement of such rights, the Company shall pay (or the Executive shall be
entitled to recover from the Company, as the case may be) the Executive's
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs and expenses in connection with the
enforcement of his rights, including the enforcement of any arbitration award,
up to $50,000 in the aggregate.

      (j) AMENDMENT. This Agreement may be modified only by an instrument in
writing executed by the parties hereto.

      (k) INTERPRETATIVE MATTERS; COUNTERPARTS. The headings of sections of this
Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect its

                                       13
<PAGE>

meaning or construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to
be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no
rule of strict construction will be applied against any party. No delay or
omission by either party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall impair such right, power or privilege, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. This
Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. In making proof of this Agreement it shall not be necessary to
produce or account for more than one such counterpart.

      (l) GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement is to be governed and construed
according to the internal substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

      (m) CONFLICTS. To the extent that this Agreement conflicts with any
provision, in any handbook, policy manual, rule or regulation, the provisions of
this Agreement shall take precedent.

      (n) CONSULTATION WITH COUNSEL. The Executive acknowledges that he has had
a full and complete opportunity to consult with counsel or other advisers of his
own choosing concerning the terms, enforceability and implications of this
Agreement, and that the Company has made any representations or warranties to
the Executive concerning the terms, enforceability and implications of this
Agreement other than as are reflected in this Agreement.

      (o) WITHHOLDING. Any payments provided for in this Agreement shall be paid
net of any applicable tax withholding required under federal, state or local
law.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this Agreement as of the date
and year first above written.

                                    EXHIBIT A

                                RELEASE OF CLAIMS

In exchange for the severance pay and other benefits set forth in my amended and
restated employment agreement with Wheeling-Pittsburgh (the "Company") dated
February 16,2005 (as amended through the date hereof, the "Employment
Agreement"), I forever give up, waive and release any and all claims, charges,
complaints, grievances or promises of any and every kind I may have up to the
date of this Release against the Company, its parent, Wheeling-Pittsburgh
Corporation, and other affiliates and its and their directors, officers and
employees, and related persons, including, without limitation, my rights under
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Civil Rights Act of
1991, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"), the Equal Pay Act,
the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"), the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act ("ADEA") and other federal and state statutes prohibiting
discrimination on the basis of age, sex, race, color, handicap, religion and
national origin and any common law claims, including without limitation, claims
for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, intentional
interference with contract, negligent infliction of emotional distress, personal
injury, breach of contract, unpaid wages or compensation, or claims for
unreimbursed expenses. This release shall not extend to any claim to amounts due
me in accordance with the terms of my Employment Agreement after termination of
my employment or to claims to indemnity I may have under the terms of my
Employment Agreement, applicable law, or the Company's or its parent's articles
of organization or bylaws for having served as a director, officer or employee
of the Company, its parent or any affiliate.

I acknowledge that I have been advised of my right to consult an attorney before
I sign this Release and that I have twenty-one (21) days to consider whether to
sign this Release. If the Release is not received by the Company at the end of
the twenty-one (21) day period, it will be considered expired and withdrawn and
the Company's severance obligations under my Employment Agreement void. If I
execute this Release prior to the end of the twenty-one (21) day period that has
been provided for me to consider it, I agree and acknowledge that the prior
execution was a knowing and voluntary waiver of my right to consider this
Release for a full twenty-one (21) days, and was due to my conclusion that I had
ample time in which to consider and understand this Release, and in which to
review this Release with my counsel.

Nothing in this Release shall be construed to affect the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission's ("Commission") independent right and responsibility to
enforce the law. I understand, however, that, while this Release does not affect
my right to file a charge or participate in an investigation or proceeding
conducted by the Commission, it does bar any claim I might have to receive
monetary damages in connection with any Commission proceeding concerning matters
covered by this Release.

                                       1

I understand I have the right to revoke this Release within seven (7) days of
signing it. I understand that to revoke this Release, I must notice the Company
in writing in accordance with the notice procedures set forth in my Employment
