The purpose of this Amendment No. 3 is solely to file certain exhibits to the
Registration Statement as set forth in Item 21 of Part II.
Part II
Information Not Required in Prospectus
Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporations Law ("Delaware
Law") permits a corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a
provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the
corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, provided that such provision may not eliminate or limit the
liability of a director for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
corporation or its stockholders, for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, for the
payment of unlawful dividends, or for any transaction from which the director
derived an improper personal benefit.
Section 145 of the Delaware Law permits a corporation to indemnify any
of its directors or officers who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made
a party to any third party proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is
or was a director or officer of the corporation, against expenses (including
attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reason to believe that such person's conduct was unlawful. In a derivative
action, i.e., one by or in the right of a corporation, the corporation is
permitted to indemnify directors and officers against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with the
defense or settlement of an action or suit if they acted in good faith and in a
manner that they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made if
such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only
to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought shall
determine upon application that the defendant directors or officers are fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication
of liability. A corporation may purchase indemnity insurance.
LTV's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides in
effect for the indemnification by LTV of each director and officer of LTV to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Item 22. Undertakings
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provision, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the questions whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
(c) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for
information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to
Item 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of
such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or
other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents
filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the
date of responding to the request.
(d) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of
post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the
company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and
included in the registration statement when it became effective.

[LETTERHEAD OF DAVIS POLK & WARDWELL]
March 29, 2000
The LTV Corporation
200 Public Square
Cleveland, OH 44114
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to The LTV Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the Company's offer (the
"Exchange Offer") to exchange its 11 3/4% Senior Notes due 2009 (the "New
Notes") for any and all of its outstanding 11 3/4% Senior Notes due 2009 (the
"Old Notes").
We have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified
to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of
public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable
for the purpose of rendering this opinion.
Upon the basis of the foregoing and assuming the due execution and
delivery of the New Notes, we are of the opinion that the New Notes, when
executed, authenticated and delivered in exchange for the Old Notes in
accordance with the Exchange Offer will be valid and binding obligations of the
Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as the foregoing may
be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws
affecting creditors' rights generally and general principles of equity,
regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity.
We are members of the Bar of the State of New York and the foregoing
opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York and the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement relating to the Exchange Offer. We also consent to the
reference to us under the caption "Legal Matters" in the Prospectus contained in
such Registration Statement.
This opinion is rendered to you in connection with the above matter and
may not be relied upon for any other purpose.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Davis Polk & Wardwell
