IV. Divestiture

A. In the event defendant acquires Arcelor, defendant is ordered and directed to divest the Dofasco Business to ThyssenKrupp within (1) 120 calendar days after the filing of the Complaint in this matter or (2) five (5) days after notice of the entry of this Final Judgment by the Court, whichever is later. The United States, in its sole discretion, may agree to one or more extensions of this time period, not to exceed in total sixty (60) calendar days, and shall notify the Court in each such circumstance. At its option, defendant may elect to sell Dofasco to an alternative Acquirer acceptable to the United States in the sole discretion of the United States. Defendant agrees to use its best efforts to divest the Dofasco Business as expeditiously as possible.

B. In the event defendant acquires Arcelor but is unable to accomplish the divestiture of the Dofasco Business within the time period specified in Section IV(A), then at the option of the United States, defendant shall divest either the Sparrows Point Business or the Weirton Business. The United States shall provide defendant written notice of its selection. Defendant is ordered and directed, within ninety (90) calendar days of the receipt of such notice, to divest the Selected Business in a manner consistent with this Final Judgment to an Acquirer acceptable to the United States in its sole discretion. The United States, in its sole discretion, may agree to one or more extensions of this time period, not to exceed in total sixty (60) calendar days, and shall notify the Court in each such circumstance. Defendant agrees to use its best efforts to divest the Selected Business as expeditiously as possible. Once the United States has provided defendant with written notice of its selection under Section IV(B), the defendant will cease to have any obligation under Section IV(A) to divest the Dofasco Business.

C. In accomplishing the divestiture ordered by the Final Judgment, defendant promptly shall make known, by usual and customary means, the availability of the Divested Business. Defendant shall inform any person making inquiry regarding a possible purchase of the Divested Business that it will be divested pursuant to this Final Judgment and provide that person with a copy of this Final Judgment. Defendant shall offer to furnish to all prospective Acquirers, subject to customary confidentiality assurances, all information and documents relating to the Divested Business that customarily are provided in a due diligence process except such information or documents subject to the attorney-client or work-product privilege. Defendant shall make available such information to the United States at the same time that such information is made available to any other person.

D. Defendant shall provide the Acquirer and the United States information relating to personnel involved in the research, development, production, operation, and sale of the products of the Divested Business to enable the Acquirer to make offers of employment. Defendant will not interfere with any negotiations by the Acquirer to employ any employee of the Divested Business whose primary responsibility is the production, operation, development, or sale of the products of the Divested Business.

E. Defendant shall permit prospective Acquirers of the Divested Business to have reasonable access to personnel and to make inspections of the physical facilities of the Divested Business; access to any and all environmental, zoning, and other permit documents and information; and access to any and all financial, operational, and other documents and information customarily provided as part of a due diligence process.

F. Defendant shall warrant to the Acquirer of the Divested Business that each asset of the Divested Business is in a condition and state of repair equal to the condition and state of repair as of, (1) in the case that the Selected Business is divested, the date the defendant publicly announced its intention to acquire Arcelor, i.e., January 27, 2006, or (2) in the case that the Dofasco Business is divested, the date of the filing of the Complaint in this matter.

G. Defendant shall not take any action that will impede in any way the permitting, operation, or divestiture of the Divested Business.

H. The defendant will not undertake, directly or indirectly, any challenges to the environmental, zoning, or other permits relating to the operation of the Divested Business. If the Selected Business is divested, the defendant shall warrant to the Acquirer of the Selected Business that there are no material defects in the environmental, zoning, or other permits pertaining to the operation of the Selected Business as operated by the defendant.

I. Nothing in this Final Judgment shall be construed to require the Acquirer as a condition of any license granted by defendant pursuant to Sections II(K)(3) or II(O)(3) to extend to defendant the right to use the Acquirer's improvements to processes used in connection with the Selected Business.

J. Unless the United States otherwise consents in writing, the divestiture pursuant to Section IV, or by trustee appointed pursuant to Section V, of this Final Judgment, shall include the entire business and assets of the Divested Business, and shall be accomplished in such a way as to satisfy the United States, in its sole discretion, that the Divested Business can and will be used by the Acquirer as a viable, ongoing business engaged in producing Tin Mill Products. The divestiture, whether pursuant to Section IV or Section V of this Final Judgment,

1. shall be made to an Acquirer that, in the United States's sole judgment, has the intent and capability (including the necessary managerial, operational, technical and financial capability)to compete effectively in the production and sale of Tin Mill Products; and
2. shall be accomplished so as to satisfy the United States, in its sole discretion, that none of the terms of any agreement between an Acquirer and defendant gives defendant the ability unreasonably to raise the Acquirer's costs, to lower the Acquirer's efficiency, or otherwise interfere in the ability of the Acquirer to compete effectively in the production and sale of Tin Mill Products.

V. Appointment of Trustee to Effect Divestiture

A. If the defendant has not divested the Selected Business pursuant to Section IV(B) of this Final Judgment within the time period specified in that Section, defendant shall notify the United States of that fact in writing. Upon application of the United States, the Court shall appoint a trustee selected by the United States and approved by the Court to effect the divestiture of the Selected Business pursuant to Section IV(B).

B. After the appointment of a trustee becomes effective, only the trustee shall have the right to sell the Selected Business. The trustee shall have the power and authority to accomplish the divestiture to an Acquirer acceptable to the United States at such price and on such terms as are then obtainable upon reasonable effort by the trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections IV, V, and VI of this Final Judgment, and shall have such other powers as this Court deems appropriate. Subject to Section V(D) of this Final Judgment, the trustee may hire at the cost and expense of defendant any investment bankers, attorneys, or other agents, who shall be solely accountable to the trustee, reasonably necessary in the trustee's judgment to assist in the divestiture.

C. Defendant shall not object to a sale by the trustee on any ground other than the trustee's malfeasance. Any such objection by defendant must be conveyed in writing to the United States and the trustee within ten (10) calendar days after the trustee has provided the notice required under Section VI.

D. The trustee shall serve at the cost and expense of defendant, on such terms and conditions as plaintiff approves, and shall account for all monies derived from the sale of the Selected Business all costs and expenses so incurred. After approval by the Court of the trustee's accounting, including fees for its services and those of any professionals and agents retained by the trustee, all remaining money shall be paid to defendant and the trust shall then be terminated. The compensation of the trustee and any professionals and agents retained by the trustee shall be reasonable in light of the value of the Selected Business and based on a fee arrangement providing the trustee with an incentive based on the price and terms of the divestiture and the speed with which it is accomplished, but timeliness is paramount.

E. Defendant shall use its best efforts to assist the trustee in accomplishing the required divestiture. The trustee and any consultants, accountants, attorneys, and other persons retained by the trustee shall have full and complete access to the personnel, books, records, and facilities of the Selected Business, and defendant shall develop financial and other information relevant to such business as the trustee may reasonably request, subject to customary confidentiality protection for trade secret or other confidential research, development, or commercial information. Defendant shall take no action to interfere with or to impede the trustee's accomplishment of the divestiture.

F. After its appointment, the trustee shall file monthly reports with the United States and the Court setting forth the trustee's efforts to accomplish the divestiture ordered under this Final Judgment. To the extent such reports contain information that the trustee deems confidential, such reports shall not be filed in the public docket of the Court. Such reports shall include the name, address, and telephone number of each person who, during the preceding month, made an offer to acquire, expressed an interest in acquiring, entered into negotiations to acquire, or was contacted or made an inquiry about acquiring the Selected Business, and shall describe in detail each contact with any such person. The trustee shall maintain full records of all efforts made to divest the Selected Business.

G. If the trustee has not accomplished the divestiture of the Selected Business within six months after its appointment, the trustee shall promptly file with the Court a report setting forth (1) the trustee's efforts to accomplish the required divestiture; (2) the reasons, in the trustee's judgment, why the required divestiture has not been accomplished; and (3) the trustee's recommendations. To the extent such report contains information that the trustee deems confidential, such report shall not be filed in the public docket of the Court. The trustee shall at the same time furnish such report to the plaintiff, who shall have the right to make additional recommendations consistent with the purpose of the trust. The Court thereafter shall enter such orders as it shall deem appropriate to carry out the purpose of the Final Judgment, which may, if necessary, include extending the trust and the term of the trustee's appointment by a period requested by the United States.

VI. Notice of Proposed Divestiture

A. Within two (2) business days following execution of a definitive divestiture agreement, defendant or the trustee, whichever is then responsible for effecting the divestiture required herein, shall notify the United States of any proposed divestiture required by Section IV or V of this Final Judgment. If the trustee is responsible, it shall similarly notify defendant. The notice shall set forth the details of the proposed divestiture and list the name, address, and telephone number of each person not previously identified who offered or expressed an interest in or desire to acquire any ownership interest in the Selected Business.

B. Within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt by the United States of such notice, the United States may request from defendant, the proposed Acquirer, any other third party, or the trustee if applicable additional information concerning the proposed divestiture, the proposed Acquirer, and any other potential Acquirer. Defendant and the trustee shall furnish any additional information requested within fifteen (15) calendar days of the receipt of the request, unless the parties shall otherwise agree.

C. Within (a) thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the notice or (b) twenty (20) calendar days after the United States has been provided the additional information requested from defendant, the proposed Acquirer, any third party, or the trustee, whichever is later, the United States shall provide written notice to defendant and the trustee, if there is one, stating whether or not it objects to the proposed divestiture. If the United States provides written notice that it does not object, the divestiture may be consummated, subject only to defendant's limited right to object to the sale under Section V(C) of this Final Judgment. Absent written notice that the United States does not object to the proposed Acquirer or upon objection by the United States, a divestiture proposed under Section IV or Section V shall not be consummated. Upon objection by defendant under Section V(C), a divestiture proposed under Section V shall not be consummated unless approved by the Court.

Defendant shall not finance all or any part of any purchase made pursuant to Section IV or V of this Final Judgment.

Until the divestiture required by this Final Judgment has been accomplished defendant shall take all steps necessary to comply with the Hold Separate Stipulation and Order entered by this Court. Defendant shall take no action that would jeopardize the divestiture order by this Court.

A.

Each such affidavit shall include the name, address, and telephone number of each person who, during the preceding thirty days, made an offer to acquire, expressed an interest in acquiring, entered into negotiations to acquire, or was contacted or made an inquiry about acquiring, any interest in the Divested Business, and shall describe in detail each contact with any such person during that period. Each such affidavit shall also include a description of the efforts defendant has taken to solicit buyers for the Divested Business, and to provide required information to any prospective Acquirer, including the limitations, if any, on such information. Assuming the information set forth in the affidavit is true and complete, any objection by the United States to information provided by defendant, including limitations on the information, shall be made within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of such affidavit.

B. Within twenty (20) calendar days of the filing of the Complaint in this matter, defendant shall deliver to the United States an affidavit that describes in reasonable detail all actions defendant has taken and all steps defendant has implemented on an ongoing basis to comply with Section VIII of this Final Judgment. Defendant shall deliver to the United States an affidavit describing any changes to the efforts and actions outlined in defendant's earlier affidavits filed pursuant to this section within fifteen (15) calendar days after the change is implemented.

C. Defendant shall keep all records of all efforts made to preserve and divest the Divested Business until one year after a divestiture has been completed.
