RECEIVABLES TRANSFER AGREEMENT

RECEIVABLES TRANSFER AGREEMENT (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect from time to time, this “Agreement”), dated as of December 29, 2009, by and among TSPC, INC., a Nevada corporation, as transferor (in such capacity, the “Transferor”), TRIMAS CORPORATION (“TriMas Corp.”), a Delaware corporation, individually, as collection agent (in such capacity, the “Collection Agent”), TRIMAS COMPANY LLC (“TriMas LLC”), a Delaware limited liability company, individually, as guarantor under the Limited Guaranty set forth in Article IX (in such capacity, the “Guarantor”), the several financial institutions identified on Schedule B and their respective permitted successors and assigns (the “Purchasers”; each, individually, a “Purchaser”), and WACHOVIA BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (“Wachovia”), as administrative agent for the benefit of the Purchasers (in such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

WHEREAS, the Transferor may desire to convey, transfer and assign to the Purchasers from time to time, undivided percentage interests in its accounts receivable, and each of the Purchasers hereby severally agrees to accept its Pro Rata Share of each such conveyance, transfer and assignment of such undivided percentage interests, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

Definitions

SECTION 1.01.    Certain Defined Terms.  Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in, or incorporated by reference into, Schedule A attached hereto, which Schedule A is incorporated by reference herein.

SECTION 1.02.    Other Terms.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or a financial nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided that, if TriMas Corp. or the Transferor notifies the Administrative Agent that TriMas Corp. or the Transferor requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the date hereof in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies TriMas Corp. or the Transferor that the Required Purchasers request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith.

SECTION 1.03.    Computation of Time Periods.  Unless otherwise stated in this Agreement, in the computation of a period of time from a specified date to a later specified date,

the word “from” means “from and including,” the words “to” and “until” each means “to but excluding,” and the word “within” means “from and excluding a specified date and to and including a later specified date.”

ARTICLE II

Purchases and Settlements

SECTION 2.01.    Facility.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto establish a receivables financing facility.  The Purchasers’ several obligations to make purchases from the Transferor hereunder shall terminate on the Termination Date.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the other Transaction Documents, no Purchaser shall be obligated to provide the Transferor with funds in an amount that would exceed such Purchaser’s unused Commitment then in effect, and the failure of any Purchaser to make its Pro Rata Share of such purchase available to the Transferor (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein) shall not relieve any other Purchaser of its obligations hereunder.

SECTION 2.02.    Transfers; Eligible Receivables.

(a) Incremental Transfers.  From time to time prior to the Termination Date, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents, the Transferor may make a conveyance, transfer and assignment to the Purchasers of an undivided percentage ownership interest in the Receivables, together with Related Security, Collections and Proceeds with respect thereto (each, an “Incremental Transfer”) at the Transfer Price, without recourse except as provided herein, and each of the Purchasers severally agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of each requested Incremental Transfer, provided, however, that after giving prospective effect to the funding of the Transfer Price for any Incremental Transfer and the payment to the Transferor of such Transfer Price, each of the conditions precedent in Article IV of this Agreement shall be satisfied (with respect to the initial Incremental Transfer) or each of the conditions precedent in Section 4.03 shall be satisfied (in the case of all subsequent Incremental Transfers).

The Transferor shall, by telecopied or electronic notice to the Administrative Agent in the form of Exhibit F hereto (each, a “Transfer Notice”), offer to make an Incremental Transfer at least one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed date thereof.  Each such notice shall specify (x) the desired Transfer Price (which shall be at least $1,000,000 per Purchaser or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof) or, to the extent that the then available unused portion of the Facility Limit is less than such amount, such lesser amount equal to such available portion of the Facility Limit; and (y) the desired date of such Incremental Transfer which shall be a Business Day.  Each Incremental Transfer shall be subject to the condition precedent that the Collection Agent shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, all Settlement Statements required to be delivered as of the date of the applicable Transfer Notice, together with such other additional information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Purchasers of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of any Transfer Notice.

2

Each Transfer Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on the Transferor, and the Transferor shall indemnify the Purchasers against any loss or expense incurred by the  Purchasers, either directly or indirectly, as a result of any failure by the Transferor to complete such Incremental Transfer, including, without limitation, any loss or expense incurred by the  Purchasers by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds acquired by the Purchasers to fund such Incremental Transfer.

On the day of each Incremental Transfer, each Purchaser participating in such purchase shall deposit to the Transferor’s account, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Transfer Price for such Incremental Transfer.  No Purchaser shall have any responsibility for the failure of any other Purchaser to make any such deposit.

(b)           Reinvestment Transfers.  On each Business Day occurring after the initial Incremental Transfer hereunder and prior to the Termination Date, the Transferor may convey, transfer and assign to each Purchaser, and each Purchaser shall purchase from the Transferor, an undivided percentage ownership interest in each and every Receivable, together with Related Security, Collections and Proceeds with respect thereto, to the extent that Collections are available for such Transfer in accordance with Section 2.05 hereof.  The Transferor agrees to maintain, at all times prior to the Termination Date, a Net Receivables Balance in an amount at least sufficient to maintain (pursuant to Section 2.06) the Percentage Interest at an amount not greater than the Maximum Percentage Interest.  Accordingly, the maximum amount of funding that the Transferor may obtain on the Initial Incremental Transfer Date or at any time thereafter shall be equal to the maximum Net Investment that would not exceed the Facility Limit and would not cause the Percentage Interest to exceed the Maximum Percentage Interest.

(c)           All Transfers.  Each Transfer shall constitute a purchase of undivided percentage ownership interests in each and every Receivable, together with Related Security, Collections and Proceeds with respect thereto, then existing, as well as in each and every Receivable, together with Related Security, Collections and Proceeds with respect thereto, which arises at any time after the date of such Transfer.  The applicable Purchasers’ aggregate undivided percentage ownership interest in the Receivables, together with the Related Security, Collections and Proceeds with respect thereto, shall equal the Percentage Interest in effect from time to time.  By accepting any conveyance, transfer and assignment of ownership interests in the Receivables hereunder, none of the Purchasers nor the Administrative Agent assumes or shall have any obligations or liability under any of the applicable Contracts, all of which shall remain the obligations and liabilities of the Sellers.  Such purchases from the Transferor by the Purchasers shall be made in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

(d)           Percentage Interest.  The Percentage Interest shall be initially computed as of the opening of business of the Collection Agent on the Initial Incremental Transfer Date.  Thereafter, until the Termination Date, the Percentage Interest shall be automatically recomputed as of the close of business of the Collection Agent on each day (other than a day after the Termination Date).  The Percentage Interest shall remain constant from the time as of which any such computation or recomputation is made until the time as of which the next such recomputation, if any, shall be made.  At all times on and after the Termination Date until the date on which the Net Investment has been reduced to zero and all accrued Discount, Servicing Fees and all other Aggregate Unpaids have been paid in full, the Percentage Interest shall equal 100%.

SECTION 2.03.    [Intentionally Deleted].

SECTION 2.04.    Monthly Payment Dates.  Notwithstanding the limitation on recourse under Section 2.01 hereof, on each Monthly Payment Date, (a) the Transferor shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to the Purchasers, all accrued and unpaid Discount, all accrued and unpaid Fees for the calendar month (or portion thereof) then most recently ended and all other Aggregate Unpaids (other than Net Investment), if any, that are then due and owing, and (b) the Transferor shall pay to the Collection Agent the accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee for the calendar month (or portion thereof) then most recently ended.  Nothing in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall limit in any way the obligations of the Transferor to pay the amounts set forth in this Section 2.04.

SECTION 2.05.    Reinvestment Procedures.  (a) On each Business Day after the date of any Incremental Transfer but prior to the Termination Date, and provided that Section 2.06 shall not then be applicable, the Collection Agent shall, out of the Percentage Interest of Collections received on or prior to such day and not previously set aside or paid:

(i)            apply the balance of such Percentage Interest of Collections remaining after payment of amounts (if any) due and owing on such date pursuant to Section 2.04 to the purchase of additional undivided percentage interests in each Receivable pursuant to Section 2.02(b) hereof; and

(ii)           remit the balance, if any, of such Percentage Interest of Collections remaining after the applications provided in clause (i) to the Transferor or its designee.

(b)           Collections remitted to the Transferor shall be available for the ordinary business purposes of the Transferor or otherwise, subject to the provisions of the Transaction Documents.

SECTION 2.06.    Liquidation Settlement Procedures.

(a) If on any Interim Settlement Date on or prior to the Termination Date, the Percentage Interest is greater than the Maximum Percentage Interest, then the Transferor shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to the Purchasers, from previously received Collections, an amount that, when applied to reduce the Net Investment, will result in a Percentage Interest less than or equal to the Maximum Percentage Interest, to be allocated to each Purchaser based on its Pro Rata Share.  Such amount shall be applied to reduce the Net Investment.

(b)           On the Termination Date and on each day thereafter and on each day on which a Potential Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Collection Agent shall deposit to the Administrative Agent’s Account, for the benefit of the Purchasers, the Percentage Interest of all Collections received on such day, and the Administrative Agent shall distribute such funds in the following order of priority:

(i)            first, if TriMas Corp. or any Affiliate of TriMas Corp. is not then the Collection Agent to the Collection Agent’s account, in payment in full of the Servicing Fee payable to the Collection Agent;

4

(ii)           second, in payment in full of the accrued Discount and all Fees payable by the Transferor;

(iii)          third, in reduction of the Net Investment to zero;

(iv)          fourth, in payment in full of all other Aggregate Unpaids not covered in clauses (i) through (iii) above; and

(v)           fifth, if TriMas Corp. or any Affiliate or stockholder of TriMas Corp. is the Collection Agent, to its account as Collection Agent, in payment of the Servicing Fee payable to such Person as Collection Agent.

The Administrative Agent, upon its receipt of such amounts in the Administrative Agent’s Account, shall distribute such amounts to the Purchasers entitled thereto; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall have insufficient funds to pay all of the above amounts in full on any such date, the Administrative Agent shall pay such amounts in the order of priority set forth above and, with respect to any such category above for which the Administrative Agent shall have insufficient funds to pay all amounts owing on such date, ratably (based on the amounts in such categories owing to such Persons) among all such Persons entitled to payment thereof.

(c)           Following the date on which the Net Investment has been reduced to zero and all accrued Discount, Fees, Servicing Fees and all other Aggregate Unpaids have been paid in full, (i) the Percentage Interest shall equal zero, (ii) the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Purchasers, shall be considered to have reconveyed to the Transferor all of the Purchasers’ right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables and Related Security, Collections and Proceeds with respect thereto, and (iii) the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Purchasers, shall execute and deliver to the Transferor, at the Transferor’s expense, such documents or instruments as are necessary to terminate the Purchasers’ respective interests in the Receivables and Related Security, Collections and Proceeds with respect thereto.  Any such documents shall be prepared by or on behalf of the Transferor.

(d)           The Transferor may, by delivery of a Reduction Notice to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser by telecopy, at any time and from time to time reduce the Net Investment, in whole or in part, upon at least one (1) Business Day’s prior notice to the Administrative Agent before 11:00 a.m., New York City time; provided, however, that each partial reduction of the Net Investment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $2,000,000 in the aggregate.  Upon the date specified in such Reduction Notice for such reduction, the Transferor shall immediately pay to each of the Purchasers, from previously received Collections, an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such targeted reduction.

SECTION 2.07.    Change of Commitments.  (a)  Reduction of Commitments.  Upon ten (10) Business Days written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Transferor may reduce the Commitments of the Purchasers in an aggregate amount equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof.  Upon any such reduction, the Commitment of each Purchaser shall be reduced in an amount equal to such  Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such reduction, and the Facility Limit shall be reduced to the level of the reduced Aggregate

5

Commitment.  Once reduced, the Commitments shall not be subsequently reinstated.  The Commitment of each Purchaser shall be automatically reduced to zero on the Commitment Expiry Date.

(b)           Increase of Commitments and Facility Limit.

(i)            The Transferor may, by written notice to Administrative Agent, from time to time (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly forward to the Purchasers), request that the Facility Limit be increased by an amount not to exceed the Facility Limit Increment Amount in effect at such time.  Such notice shall set forth the amount of the requested increase (which shall at least be the lesser of (x) $5,000,000 or a greater integral multiple of $500,000 or (y) equal to the remaining Facility Limit Increment Amount) and the date on which such increase is requested to become effective (which shall be not fewer than ten (10) Business Days or more than sixty (60) days after the date of such notice and which, in any event, must be at least six months prior to the Commitment Expiry Date) and shall offer each Purchaser the opportunity to increase its Commitment by its Pro Rata Share of the proposed increase in the Facility Limit.  Each such Purchaser shall, by notice to the Transferor and the Administrative Agent given not more than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the Administrative Agent provides notice to the Purchasers as set forth above, either agree to increase its Commitment by all or a portion of its Pro Rata Share of the proposed increase (each Purchaser so agreeing, an “Increasing Purchaser”) or decline to increase its Commitment, and any such Purchaser that does not deliver such a notice within the foregoing period of five (5) Business Days shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment (each such Purchaser so declining or being deemed to have declined, a “Non-Increasing Purchaser”).  If, at the end of such period of ten (10) Business Days, all or some of such Purchasers shall have agreed pursuant to the preceding sentence to increase their Commitments by an amount that is less than the aggregate amount requested by the Transferor (the difference between such requested amount and the amount aggregate amount agreed to by such Purchasers, the “Unsubscribed Amount”), the Transferor may arrange for one or more banks or other entities (any such bank or other entity, an “Augmenting Purchaser”), which may include any existing Purchaser, to extend Commitments or increase their existing Commitments in an aggregate amount up to the Unsubscribed Amount, and the Administrative Agent will provide to Transferor such assistance as Transferor reasonably may request in arranging for Augmenting Purchasers.  Each proposed Augmenting Purchaser, including any that is already a Purchaser hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the Transferor.  Each Augmenting Purchaser approved by the Administrative Agent and the Transferor shall execute all such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence such Augmenting Purchaser’s Commitment and/or its status as a Purchaser hereunder.  Subject to the minimum requirements set forth above, any increase in the Commitments may be made in an amount which is less than the increase requested by the Transferor

6

if the Transferor is unable to arrange for, or the Transferor chooses not to arrange for, sufficient Augmenting Purchasers to provide the Unsubscribed Amount.

(ii)           Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, after giving effect to any increase in the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.07(b), the Transferred Interest is held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.  This may be accomplished at the discretion of the Administrative Agent by reallocation of the Transferred Interest in its books and records.

(iii)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the aggregate Commitments shall become effective under this Section 2.07(b) unless on the effective date of such increase, the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Responsible Officer of the Transferor.

SECTION 2.08.    Fees.  To the extent not otherwise provided for by the provisions of this Agreement, the Transferor shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account and the account of each Purchaser, the Fees specified in the Fee Letter.

SECTION 2.09.    Protection of Ownership Interest of the Purchasers.  (a) The Transferor will, and will cause each Seller to, from time to time, at its expense, promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents and take all actions as may be necessary or as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to perfect or protect the Transferred Interest or to enable the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Transferor will, and will cause each Seller to, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any of the Purchasers, in order to accurately reflect this purchase and sale transaction, (x) execute and file such financing or continuation statements or amendments thereto or assignments thereof (as permitted pursuant to Section 10.06 hereof) as may be requested by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers and (y) mark its respective master data processing records and other documents with a legend describing the conveyance to the Transferor (in the case of the Sellers) and the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, of the Transferred Interest.  The Transferor shall, and will cause the Sellers to, upon request of the Administrative Agent, obtain such additional search reports as the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, shall reasonably request.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to sign (if required) and file continuation statements and amendments thereto and assignments thereof without the Transferor’s or any Seller’s signature.  Carbon, photostatic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement shall be sufficient as a financing statement.  The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to file a financing statement naming Transferor as the debtor and/or seller and describing the collateral covered thereby as “all personal property and the proceeds thereof”, “all assets and the proceeds thereof” or words of similar effect.  The Administrative Agent and the Purchasers shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies that they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

7

The Transferor shall not, and shall not permit any Seller to, change its respective name (within the meaning of Section 9-507(c) of the Relevant UCC), or jurisdiction of organization, form of organization, taxpayer identification number or state organizational number, unless it shall have: (i) given the Administrative Agent at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice thereof and (ii) prepared at the Transferor’s expense and delivered to the Administrative Agent all financing statements, instruments and other documents necessary to preserve and protect the Transferred Interest or requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with such change.  Any filings under the Relevant UCC or otherwise that are occasioned by such change shall be made at the expense of the Transferor.

(b)           The Collection Agent shall instruct, and shall cause the other Sellers to instruct, all Obligors to cause all Collections to be deposited directly with a Lock-Box Bank.  Any Lock-Box Account maintained by a Lock-Box Bank pursuant to the related Lock-Box Agreement shall be under the exclusive “control” (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the Relevant UCC) of the Administrative Agent which is hereby granted to the Administrative Agent by the Transferor.  The Collection Agent shall be permitted to give instructions to the Lock-Box Banks prior to delivery of a Collection Notice by the Administrative Agent.  The Collection Agent shall not add any bank as a Lock-Box Bank to those listed on Exhibit B attached hereto unless such bank has entered into a Lock-Box Agreement.  The Collection Agent shall not terminate any bank as a Lock-Box Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received sixty (60) days’ prior notice of such termination.  If the Transferor, any Seller or the Collection Agent receives any Collections, the Transferor or the Collection Agent, as applicable, shall, or shall cause such Seller to, remit such Collections to a Lock-Box Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof.

(c)           The Transferor hereby pledges, assigns and transfers to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, and hereby creates and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, a security interest in the Lock-Box Accounts and all cash, checks and other negotiable instruments, funds and other evidences of payment held therein.

SECTION 2.10.    Deemed Collections; Application of Payments.  (a) If on any day a Receivable becomes a Diluted Receivable, the Transferor shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Receivable in the amount of such reduction or cancellation, and the Transferor shall pay to the Collection Agent an amount equal to such reduction or cancellation (to the extent not netted against the Purchase Price on such day pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement).  Any such amount shall be applied by the Collection Agent as a Collection in accordance with Section 2.05 or 2.06 hereof, as applicable.  The Net Investment shall be reduced by the amount of such payment actually received by the Administrative Agent.

(b)           If on any day any of the representations or warranties in Article III was or becomes untrue with respect to a Receivable or the nature of the  Administrative Agent’s interest therein (each such Receivable, a “Fully Diluted Receivable”), the Transferor shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Receivable in full and the Transferor shall, on such day, pay to the Collection Agent an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable and such amount shall be allocated and applied by the Collection Agent as a Collection allocable to the Transferred Interest in accordance with Section 2.05 or 2.06 hereof, as

8

applicable.  The Net Investment shall be reduced by the amount of such payment actually received by the Administrative Agent.

(c)           Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to the Transferor or the Seller shall, except as provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.10 or as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or law and unless otherwise instructed by the Purchasers, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable of such Obligor included in the Transferred Interest (in order of the age of such Receivable, starting with the oldest such Receivable) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other indebtedness of such Obligor.

SECTION 2.11.    Payments and Computations, etc.  All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Transferor or the Collection Agent hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in immediately available funds; if such amounts are payable to any Purchaser, they shall be paid or deposited to the Administrative Agent’s Account, until otherwise notified by the Administrative Agent.  No later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of any Incremental Transfer hereunder, the applicable Purchasers will make available to the Transferor, in immediately available funds, the Transfer Price for such Incremental Transfer on such day by remitting such amount to an account of the Transferor specified in the related notice of Transfer.  Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit.  Any computations by the Administrative Agent of amounts payable by the Transferor hereunder shall be binding upon the Transferor absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.12.    Settlement Statements.

(a)           Interim Reports. On each Interim Reporting Date, the Collection Agent shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Transferor an Interim Report as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Business Day.  The Interim Report may be delivered in an electronic format mutually agreed upon by the Collection Agent and the Administrative Agent, or pending such agreement, by facsimile.

(b)           Monthly Report. On each Monthly Reporting Date, the Collection Agent shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Transferor a monthly report, substantially in the form of Exhibit E (the “Monthly Report”).

SECTION 2.13.    [Intentionally Deleted.]

SECTION 2.14.    Right of Setoff.  Each of the Purchasers is hereby authorized (in addition to any other rights it may have) at any time after the occurrence of the Termination Date, or during the continuation of a Termination Event, to set off, appropriate and apply (without presentment, demand, protest or other notice which are hereby expressly waived) any deposits and any other indebtedness held or owing by such Purchaser to, or for the account of, the Transferor against the amount of the Aggregate Unpaids owing by the Transferor to such Purchaser (even if contingent or unmatured).

9

SECTION 2.15.    Sharing of Payments, etc.  If any Purchaser (for purposes of this Section 2.15 only, a “Recipient”) shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of any interest in the Transferred Interest owned by it in excess of its Pro Rata Share of payments on account of any interest in the Transferred Interest obtained by the Purchasers entitled thereto, such Recipient shall forthwith purchase from the Purchasers entitled to a share of such amount participations in the percentage interests owned by such Persons as shall be necessary to cause such Recipient to share the excess payment ratably with each such other Person entitled thereto; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Recipient, such purchase from each such other Person shall be rescinded and each such other Person shall repay to the Recipient the purchase price paid by such Recipient for such participation to the extent of such recovery, together with an amount equal to such other Person’s Pro Rata Share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such other Person’s required payment to (b) the total amount so recovered from the Recipient) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the Recipient in respect of the total amount so recovered.

SECTION 2.16.    [Intentionally Deleted].

SECTION 2.17.    [Intentionally Deleted].

SECTION 2.18.    Illegality.  (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if, after the Closing Date, the adoption of any Law or bank regulatory guideline or any amendment or change in the interpretation of any existing or future Law or bank regulatory guideline by any Official Body charged with the administration, interpretation or application thereof, or the compliance with any directive of any Official Body (in the case of any bank regulatory guideline, whether or not having the force of Law), shall make it unlawful for any Purchaser to fund or maintain an LMIR Tranche as contemplated by this Agreement, (i) such Purchaser shall promptly, and in any event within forty-five (45) days after receiving actual knowledge thereof, deliver a certificate to the Transferor (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) setting forth the basis for such illegality, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and (ii) for so long as such illegality continues, the Funded Amount of such Purchaser shall be maintained as an ABR Tranche.

If circumstances subsequently change so that it is no longer unlawful for an affected Purchaser to acquire or maintain an LMIR Tranche as contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser will, as soon as reasonably practicable after such Purchaser knows of such change in circumstances, notify the Transferor and the Administrative Agent, and upon receipt of such notice, the Funded Amount of such Purchaser shall be maintained as an LMIR Tranche.

(b)           Each Purchaser agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.18(a) with respect to such Purchaser, it will, if requested by the Transferor and to the extent permitted by law or by the relevant Official Body, endeavor in good faith to change the office at which it books its portions of LMIR Tranches hereunder if such change would make it lawful for such Purchasers to continue to acquire or to maintain its acquisition of portions of LMIR Tranches hereunder; provided, however, that such change may be made in such manner that such Purchaser, in its sole determination, suffers no unreimbursed cost or expense or any other disadvantage whatsoever.

10

SECTION 2.19.    Inability to Determine the LMIR.  If, at any time:

(1)           the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination in the absence of manifest error shall be conclusive and binding upon the Transferor) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, either (a) deposits of a type appropriate to match-fund its investment at the LMIR are not available, or (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LMIR; or

(2)           the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Purchasers that the LMIR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Purchasers (as conclusively certified by such Purchasers) of purchasing or maintaining their affected portions of LMIR Tranches;

then, in either such event, the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof (confirmed in writing) to the Transferor and the Purchasers as soon as practicable (but, in any event, within ten (10) days after such determination or notice, as applicable) thereafter.  Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further LMIR Tranches shall be made.  The Administrative Agent agrees to withdraw any such notice as soon as reasonably practicable after the Administrative Agent is notified of a change in circumstances which makes such notice inapplicable.

SECTION 2.20.    Indemnification.

(a)  Indemnities by the Transferor.  Without limiting any other rights which the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Transferor hereby agrees to indemnify the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent and any successors and permitted assigns and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, disbursements and expenses, including, without limitation, interest, penalties, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs of attorneys who may be employees of the Administrative Agent) (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them in any action or proceeding between the Transferor, the Collection Agent in such capacity or the Sellers and any of the Indemnified Parties or between any of the Indemnified Parties and any third party or otherwise arising out of or as a result of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the ownership or maintenance, either directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser of the Transferred Interest or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, excluding, however, (i) Indemnified Amounts to the extent relating to or resulting from (x) gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Indemnified Party or (y) recourse (except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement) for uncollectible Receivables or (ii) all taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes).  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Transferor shall indemnify each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts (without duplication of amounts for which any Indemnified Party is effectively held harmless under any other provision hereof) relating to or resulting from:

(A)          any representation or warranty made in writing by the Transferor, the Guarantor, the Collection Agent or any Seller or any officers of the Transferor, the Guarantor, the

16

(iii)          obtain such extensions of time for filing and complete such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Transferor or the Administrative Agent;

unless, in the case of (ii) and (iii) above, any change in treaty, law regulation, governmental rule, guideline order, or official application or official interpretation thereof has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Indemnified Party from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it, and such Indemnified Party so advises the Transferor and the Administrative Agent.  Each such Indemnified Party that is not a United States person (A) shall certify (i) in the case of an IRS Form W-8ECI, or successor applicable form, that it is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes and (ii) in the case of an IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-9, or successor applicable form, that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax and (B) shall agree to provide any other certification and documentation as required by the applicable law that is reasonably requested by the Transferor, the Sellers or the Collection Agent.  Each Person that is a Purchaser or Participant hereunder, or which otherwise becomes a party to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as a Purchaser, shall, prior to the effectiveness of such assignment, participation or addition, as applicable, be required to provide all of the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section 2.22.

All Transaction Costs owed by the Transferor pursuant to this subsection 2.23(a) shall be payable in accordance with Section 2.05 and 2.06.

(b)           [Intentionally deleted].

(c)           The Administrative Agent, at the request of any Purchaser, will within forty-five (45) days after receipt of notice of any event occurring after the date hereof which will entitle an Indemnified Party to compensation pursuant to this Article II, notify the Transferor in writing of

17

such event.  Any notice by a Purchaser claiming compensation under this Article II and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, provided that such claim is made in good faith and on a reasonable basis.  In determining such amount, the applicable Purchaser or any applicable Indemnified Party may use any reasonable averaging and attributing methods.

(d)           If the Transferor is required to pay any additional amount to any Purchaser pursuant to Sections 2.21 or 2.22, then such Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Purchaser to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden reasonably deemed by it to be significant) (A) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Transferor or (B) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.21 or 2.22, as the case may be, in the future.

SECTION 2.24.    Purchasers.  Each Purchaser is hereby authorized to record on each Business Day its Funded Amount and the aggregate amount of Discount and Fees accruing with respect thereto on such Business Day.  Any such recordations by a Purchaser, absent manifest error, shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded.  Each of the Purchasers will report the amounts due to it for the prior Calculation Period to the Transferor, the Collection Agent and the Administrative Agent not later than two (2) Business Days prior to the related Interim Settlement Date or Monthly Payment Date, as applicable.  Furthermore, the Purchaser will maintain records sufficient to identify the percentage interest of such Purchaser in the Receivables and any amounts owing thereunder.

SECTION 6.01.                                   Appointment of Collection Agent.  The servicing, administering and collection of the Receivables shall be conducted by such Person (the “Collection Agent”) so designated from time to time in accordance with this Section 6.01.  Until the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Purchasers) gives notice to TriMas Corp. of the designation of a new Collection Agent pursuant to this Section 6.01, TriMas Corp. is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Collection Agent pursuant to the terms hereof.  The Collection Agent may not delegate any of its rights, duties or obligations hereunder, or designate a substitute Collection Agent, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent; provided that TriMas Corp. shall be permitted to delegate its duties and obligations as Collection Agent hereunder to the Sellers, or any of TriMas Corp.’s Affiliates or stockholders, but such delegation shall not relieve TriMas Corp. of its duties and obligations as Collection Agent hereunder.  The Administrative Agent may, and upon the direction of the Required Purchasers the Administrative Agent shall, but only after the occurrence of a Collection Agent Default or any other Termination Event, designate as Collection Agent any Person (including itself) to succeed TriMas Corp. or any successor Collection Agent, on the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree to perform the duties and obligations of the Collection Agent pursuant to the terms hereof.  Following a Collection Agent Default or a Termination Event, the Administrative Agent may notify any Obligor of the designation of a successor Collection Agent.

SECTION 6.02.                                   Duties of Collection Agent.  (a) The Collection Agent shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.  Each of the Transferor, the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent, hereby appoints as its agent the Collection Agent, from time to time designated pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof, to enforce its respective rights and interests in and under the Receivables and Related Security, Collections and Proceeds with respect thereto.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Transferor hereby grants to any Collection Agent appointed hereunder an irrevocable power of attorney to take in the Transferor’s name and on behalf of the Transferor any and all steps necessary or desirable, in the reasonable determination of the Collection Agent, to collect all amounts due under any and all Receivables, including, without limitation, endorsing the Transferor’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables and the related Contracts.  The Collection Agent shall set aside for the account of the Transferor and the Purchasers their respective allocable shares of the Collections of Receivables in accordance with Sections 2.05 and 2.06 hereof.  The Collection Agent shall segregate and deposit to the Administrative Agent’s Account each Purchaser’s allocable share of Collections of Receivables when required pursuant to Article II hereof.  The Collection Agent shall, and shall cause the Sellers to, hold in trust for the Transferor, the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent, in accordance with their respective interests, all Records which evidence or relate to Receivables, Related Security or Collections. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Agent shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Collection Agent (whether the Collection Agent is TriMas Corp. or any other Person) to commence or settle any

34

legal action to enforce collection of any Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.  The Collection Agent shall not make the Administrative Agent or any of the Purchasers a party to any litigation without the prior written consent of such Person.

(b)                                 The Collection Agent shall, as soon as practicable following receipt thereof, segregate any funds deposited in a Lock-Box Account or otherwise commingled and not attributable to a Receivable within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof and remit such funds to the appropriate Person. If the Collection Agent is not the Transferor, TriMas Corp., any Seller, or an Affiliate of the Transferor or the Sellers, the Collection Agent, by giving three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, may revise the Servicing Fee; provided that such revised Servicing Fee shall be a reasonable fee agreed upon by the Collection Agent and the Administrative Agent reflecting rates and terms prevailing at such time as would be negotiated on an arm’s-length basis.  The Collection Agent, if other than the Transferor, TriMas Corp., any Seller, TriMas Corp. stockholder or an Affiliate of the Transferor or the Sellers, shall as soon as practicable upon demand, deliver to the applicable Seller all Records in its possession which evidence or relate to indebtedness of an Obligor which is not a Receivable.

(c)                                  [Intentionally Omitted]:

(d)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VI, the Collection Agent, if not the Transferor, TriMas Corp., any Seller or any Affiliate of the Transferor or the Sellers, shall have no obligation to collect, enforce or take any other action described in this Article VI with respect to any indebtedness that is not included in the Transferred Interest other than to deliver to the Transferor the collections and documents with respect to any such indebtedness as described in Section 6.02(b) hereof.

SECTION 6.03.                                   Rights After Designation of New Collection Agent.  At any time following the designation of a Collection Agent other than TriMas Corp., any Seller or the Transferor pursuant to the penultimate sentence of Section 6.01 hereof:

(c)                                  Binding Effect.  This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Collection Agent, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(d)                                 Action, Suits.  Except as set forth in the TriMas Corp. Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2009, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending, or to the knowledge of the Collection Agent, threatened, against the Collection Agent, or any Affiliate of

the Collection Agent, or its respective properties, in or before any court, arbitrator or other body, which could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(e)                                  OFAC.  Neither the Collection Agent nor any of its Affiliates (i) is a Sanctioned Person, (ii) does business in a Sanctioned Country or with a Sanctioned Person in violation of the economic sanctions of the United States administered by OFAC or (iii) does business in such country or with any such agency, organization or person, in violation of the economic sanctions of the United States administered by OFAC.

delivered by or on behalf of the Transferor, any Seller or TriMas Corp. or TriMas LLC to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 8.02.                                   Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel (who may be counsel for the Transferor or the Collection Agent), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

SECTION 8.03.                                   Exculpatory Provisions.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement (x) with the consent or at the request of the Purchasers or (y) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Purchasers for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Transferor, the Collection Agent, the Sellers or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, the Receivables (or any Related Security, Collections and Proceeds with respect thereto) or any Transferred Interest or for any failure of any of the Transferor, the Collection Agent, the Sellers or the Obligors to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.  The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Purchaser to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Transferor, the Collection Agent or any Seller.

SECTION 8.04.                                   Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, fax, e-mail, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Transferor or the Collection Agent), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.  The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Purchasers as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Purchasers against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Purchasers (unless, in the case of any action relating to the giving of consent hereunder, the giving of such consent requires the consent of all Purchasers), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Purchasers.

SECTION 8.05.                                   Notice of Collection Agent Default.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Collection Agent Default or any Termination Event unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Purchaser, the Transferor or the Collection Agent referring to this Agreement, describing such Collection Agent Default or Termination Event and stating that such notice is a “notice of a Collection Agent Default” or “notice of a Termination Event”, as the case may be.  In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Purchasers, the Transferor and the Collection Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such event as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Purchasers, provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such event as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Purchasers.

SECTION 8.06.                                   Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent and Other Purchasers.  Each of the Purchasers expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Transferor, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any such Person.  Each of the Purchasers represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Transferor, the Collection Agent and the Sellers and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each of the Purchasers also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Transferor, the Collection Agent and the Sellers.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Purchasers by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Purchaser with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Transferor, the Collection Agent or the Sellers which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

SECTION 8.07.                                   Indemnification.  Each of the Purchasers, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Transferor, the Collection Agent and the Sellers and without limiting the obligation of the Transferor, the Collection Agent and the Sellers to do so) ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other

44

Transaction Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Purchaser shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of all amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 8.08.                                   The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity.  The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Transferor, the Collection Agent or any of their Affiliates as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.  With respect to any Transferred Interest held by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Purchaser” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

SECTION 8.09.                                   Resignation of Administrative Agent; Successor Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ notice to the Purchasers, the Transferor and the Collection Agent.  The Administrative Agent may be removed at any time by a resolution of the Required Purchasers, removing the Administrative Agent and appointing from among the Purchasers a successor administrative agent, which successor administrative agent shall be approved by the Transferor and the Collection Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Collection Agent.  If Wachovia shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, then the Required Purchasers, shall promptly appoint a successor administrative agent from among the Purchasers, which successor administrative agent shall be approved by the Transferor and the Collection Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld).  If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Purchasers, the Transferor and the Collection Agent, a successor agent from among the Purchasers.  If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Collection Agent shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Purchasers appoint a successor agent as provided for above.  Effective upon the appointment of a successor administrative agent, such successor administrative agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

Limited Guaranty

SECTION 9.01.                                   Guaranty of Obligations.  The Guarantor unconditionally guarantees the full and prompt payment when due of all of the payment obligations and the timely performance of all of the performance obligations of the Sellers of every kind and nature now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due, under the Transaction Documents (collectively, the “Obligations”); provided that, such Obligations shall not include amounts not collected in respect of any Receivable as a result of the lack of creditworthiness of an Obligor, including, but not limited to, amounts required to be returned to an Obligor as a voidable preference.  The Guarantor shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses including, without limitation, all court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent and the other Beneficiaries in connection with (a) the collection of all or any part of the Obligations from the Guarantor and (b) the prosecution or defense of any action by or against the Administrative Agent, the other Beneficiaries or the Transferor in connection with, or relating to, the Obligations, whether involving the Sellers, the Collection Agent, the Guarantor, the Transferor or any other party (including, but not limited to, a trustee in a bankruptcy or a debtor-in-possession).

SECTION 9.02.                                   Validity of Obligations; Irrevocability.  The Guarantor agrees that subject to the proviso set forth in Section 9.01 above its obligations under this Guaranty shall be unconditional, irrespective of (i) the validity, enforceability, discharge, disaffirmance, settlement or compromise (by any Person, including a trustee in a bankruptcy or a debtor-in-possession) of the Obligations or of the Transaction Documents or any Contract, (ii) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from a Seller or the Collection Agent or any other party, (iii) the waiver or consent by any Person with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing the Obligations, (iv) any change of the time, manner or place of payment or performance, or any other term of any of the Obligations, (v) any law, regulation or order of any jurisdiction affecting any term of any of the Obligations or rights of any Person with respect thereto, (vi) the failure by any Person to take any steps to perfect and maintain perfected its interest in the Receivables or any security or collateral related to the Obligations or (vii) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety.  The Guarantor agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Beneficiaries shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.  The Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent a payment is made by a Seller or the Collection Agent under the Transaction Documents, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to such Seller or the Collection Agent, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or repayment, the Obligation or part thereof which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by such amount shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the date such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction occurred.  The Guarantor waives all set-offs, defenses and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for performance, notices of dishonor and notice of acceptance of this Guaranty.  The Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable.

46

SECTION 9.03.                                   Several Obligations.  The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are separate and apart from the Sellers or any other Person, and are primary obligations concerning which the Guarantor is the principal obligor. This Guaranty shall not be discharged except by payment in full of the Obligations and complete performance of the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder.  The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected in any way by the release or discharge of a Seller from the performance of any of the Obligations (other than the full and final payment of all of the Obligations), whether occurring by reason of law or any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing.

SECTION 9.04.                                   Subrogation Rights.  If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account of subrogation rights relating to the Obligations at any time when all the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Beneficiaries, and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be applied to the Obligations.  If (a) the Guarantor shall make payment to the Administrative Agent of or perform all or any part of the Obligations and (b) all the Obligations shall be paid and performed in full, the Administrative Agent will, at the Guarantor’s request, execute and deliver to the Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Guarantor of any interest in the Obligations resulting from such payment or performance by the Guarantor.  The Guarantor shall have no rights of subrogation with respect to amounts due to the Administrative Agent or the Beneficiaries until such time as all obligations of the Sellers to the Transferor, the Administrative Agent and the Beneficiaries have been paid or performed in full and this Agreement has been terminated.

SECTION 9.05.                                   Rights of Set-Off.  The Guarantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Beneficiaries, at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (whether general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Administrative Agent or the Beneficiaries to or for the credit or the account of the Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of the Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Guaranty (even if contingent or unmatured).  The Guarantor hereby acknowledges that rights of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Beneficiaries, described in this Section 9.05 are in addition to all other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) the Administrative Agent and the Beneficiaries may have.

SECTION 9.06.                                   Representations and Warranties.  The Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Beneficiaries, as of the date hereof, as follows:

(a)                                  Existence and Power.  The Guarantor is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware and has all limited liability company power and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is now conducted.  The Guarantor is duly qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every other jurisdiction in which the nature of its business requires it to be so qualified, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

47

(b)                                 LLC and Governmental Authorization; Contravention.  The execution, delivery and performance by the Guarantor of this Guaranty and the other Transaction Documents to which the Guarantor is a party are within the Guarantor’s limited liability company powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action, require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Official Body or official thereof, and do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law, rule or regulation or of the Certificate of Formation of the Guarantor or of any material agreement, judgment, injunction, order, writ, decree or other instrument binding upon the Guarantor or result in the creation or imposition of any Adverse Claim on the assets of the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries (except as contemplated by Section 2.09).

(c)                                  Binding Effect.  Each of this Guaranty and the other Transaction Documents to which the Guarantor is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors and general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(d)                                 Accuracy of Information.  All written information heretofore furnished by the Guarantor to the Administrative Agent or the Beneficiaries for purposes of or in connection with this Guaranty, the other Transaction Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is, and all such written information hereafter furnished by the Guarantor to the Administrative Agent or the Beneficiaries will be, true and accurate in every material respect on the date such information is stated or certified.

(e)                                  Tax Status.  The Guarantor has filed all tax returns (Federal, state and local) required to be filed and has paid prior to delinquency or made adequate provision for the payment of all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges (including for such purposes, the setting aside of appropriate reserves for taxes, assessments and other governmental charges being contested in good faith).

(f)                                    Action, Suits.  Except as set forth in the TriMas Corp. Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2009, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending, or to the knowledge of the Guarantor threatened, against or affecting the Guarantor or any Affiliate of the Guarantor or their respective properties, in or before any court, arbitrator or other body, which may, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(g)                                 Not an Investment Company.  The Guarantor is not, nor is it controlled by, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or is exempt from all provisions of such Act.

SECTION 10.02.                            Waivers; Amendments.  No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy.  The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.  Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the parties hereto and the Required Purchasers; provided, however, that no such amendment or waiver shall, without the consent of each affected Purchaser, (A) extend the Termination Date or the date of any payment or deposit of Collections by the Transferor or the Collection Agent, (B) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of any Discount, interest or fees hereunder or under any Fee Letter, (C) change the amount of any Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share or Commitment, (D) consent to or permit the assignment or transfer by the Transferor of any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (E) amend or modify the definitions of “Percentage Interest” or “Required Purchasers” or any other defined term used in such definitions, to the extent used in such definitions, (F) amend or modify this Section 10.02, (G) change the Net Investment held by any Purchaser, (H) at any time while there are two or fewer Purchasers, amend or waive any Collection Agent Default under Section 6.07(e), (I) amend or waive any Termination Event described in Sections 7.01(e), 7.01(f), 7.01(j), 7.01(k), 7.01(l), 7.01(m) or 7.01(p), (J) release or terminate any interest created hereunder in any Receivables or Related Security with respect thereto, or (K) amend or waive any provision of Section 2.12(a).

SECTION 10.04.                            Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Integration.  (a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.  Each of the parties hereto hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York state court sitting in The City of New York for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  Nothing in this Section 10.04 shall affect the right of any party hereto to bring any action or proceeding against any party hereto or its respective properties in the courts of other jurisdictions.

(b)                                 Each of the parties hereto hereby waives any right to have a jury participate in resolving any dispute, whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise among any of them arising out of, connected with, relating to or incidental to the relationship between them in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

(c)                                  This Agreement contains the final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire Agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof superseding all prior oral or written understandings.

SECTION 10.05.                            Severability; Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.  Any provisions of this Agreement which are 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.

SECTION 10.06.                            Successors and Assigns.  (a) This Agreement shall be binding on the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that (i) the Transferor may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, (ii) neither the Guarantor nor any Seller may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Purchasers, and (iii) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Purchasers, the Collection Agent may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party except as permitted in Section 10.06(b).  No provision of this Agreement shall in any manner restrict the ability of any Purchaser to assign, participate, grant security interests in, or otherwise transfer any portion of the Transferred Interest as provided in this Section 10.06.

51

(b)                                 Assignments and Delegation by Collection Agent.  So long as TriMas Corp. or any of its Affiliates is acting as the Collection Agent, the Collection Agent may delegate certain of its duties and responsibilities as Collection Agent hereunder to the Sellers in accordance with the Receivables Purchase Agreement, so long as the Collection Agent remains primarily liable to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers for the full and prompt performance of all duties and responsibilities of the Collection Agent hereunder.  Notwithstanding any such delegation by the Collection Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Collection Agent in matters relating to the discharge by the Collection Agent of its duties and responsibilities hereunder, and the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers shall not be required to give notice, demand or other communication to any Person other than the Collection Agent in order for communication to the Collection Agent and the Sellers as its subservicers or delegates in respect thereof to be accomplished.  In addition to the foregoing, in order to facilitate the collection of certain Defaulted Receivables and Fully-Diluted Receivables, the Collection Agent may delegate certain of its duties and responsibilities as Collection Agent hereunder in respect of such Receivables to outside collection agencies in accordance with past practices, and provided that no Termination Event or Potential Termination Event exists and is continuing, the Transferor may assign such Defaulted Receivables and Fully-Diluted Receivables to such collection agencies for collection, free and clear of any ownership interest or security interest of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers.

(c)                                  Participations.  Any Purchaser may, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and in the ordinary course of its business and its accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more Persons (each, a “Participant”) participating interest in its rights and obligations hereunder and under the Transaction Documents; provided, however, that each Participant shall purchase an identical percentage in such selling Purchaser’s Commitment, and Pro Rata Share of the Funded Amount.  Notwithstanding any such sale by a Purchaser of a participating interest to a Participant, such Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for the performance hereof, and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.  Each Purchaser agrees that any agreement between such Purchaser and any such Participant in respect of such participating interest shall not restrict such Purchaser’s right to agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to this Agreement.

(d)                                 Assignments.

(i)                                     Any Purchaser may at any time and from time to time, upon the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, and, if the Assignee is not an Affiliate of the selling Purchaser, the prior written consent of the Transferor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), assign to one or more accredited investors or other Persons (“Assignee(s)”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents pursuant to a supplement to this Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit K hereto (each, a “Transfer Supplement”), executed by the Assignee, such selling Purchaser, the Administrative Agent and, if applicable, the Transferor; and provided, however, that (A) each Assignee shall purchase an identical percentage in such selling Purchaser’s Commitment and Pro Rata Share of its Funded Amount, (B) any such assignment cannot be for an amount less than the lesser of (1)

52

$5,000,000 and (2) such selling Purchaser’s Commitment or Pro Rata Share of the Funded Amount (calculated at the time of such assignment) and (C) each Assignee must be a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended).

(ii)                                  [intentionally deleted].

(iii)                               Upon (A) execution of a Transfer Supplement, (B) delivery of an executed copy thereof to the Administrative Agent, and (C) payment, if applicable, by the Assignee to such selling Purchaser of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such selling Purchaser and the Assignee, such selling Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment and the Assignee(s) shall, for all purposes, be a Purchaser party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no further consent or action by the Purchasers or the Administrative Agent shall be required.  The amount of the assigned portion of the selling Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of the Funded Amount allocable to the Assignee shall be equal to the Transferred Percentage (as defined in the Transfer Supplement) of such selling Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of the Funded Amount which is transferred thereunder regardless of the purchase price paid therefor.  Such Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee as a Purchaser and the resulting adjustment of the selling Purchaser’s Commitment arising from the purchase by the Assignee of all or a portion of the selling Purchaser’s rights, obligations and interest hereunder.

(iv)                              Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Purchaser may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, without  limitation, any Transferred Interest and any rights to payment of Net Investment, Discount and any other amounts) under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Purchaser to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or grant of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Purchaser from any of its obligations hereunder, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Purchaser as a party hereto.

SECTION 10.07.                            Confidentiality.  (a) Each of the Transferor, the Collection Agent and the Guarantor shall maintain, and shall cause each officer, employee and agent of itself and its Affiliates to maintain, the confidentiality of the Transaction Documents and all other confidential proprietary information with respect to the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent and each of their respective businesses obtained by them in connection with the structuring, negotiation and execution of the transactions contemplated herein and in the other Transaction Documents, except for information that has become publicly available or information disclosed (i) to legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors to the Transferor, the Collection Agent, the Guarantor and their respective Affiliates, (ii) as required by law, regulation or legal process (including in connection with any registration Statement or other filing made with the Commission) or in connection with any legal or regulatory proceeding to which the Transferor, the Collection Agent, the Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates is subject.  Each of the Transferor, the Collection Agent and the Guarantor hereby consents to the disclosure of any

53

nonpublic information with respect to it received by any Purchaser or the Administrative Agent to any other Purchaser, any potential Purchaser, any Participant or any potential Participant.

(b)                                 Each of the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent shall maintain, and shall cause each officer, employee and agent of itself and its Affiliates to maintain, the confidentiality of the Transaction Documents and all other confidential proprietary information with respect to the Transferor, the Sellers, the Guarantor and their Affiliates and each of their respective businesses obtained by them in connection with the structuring, negotiation and execution of the transactions contemplated herein and in the other Transaction Documents, except for information that has become publicly available except that such information may be disclosed (i) to legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors to the Purchasers, the Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates, (ii) as required by law, regulation or legal process or (iii) pursuant to the order of any court or administrative agency or in any pending legal or administrative proceeding, (iv) to any other Person specified in the last sentence of Section 10.07(a), or (v) upon the request of demand of any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser.

SECTION 10.08.                            Characterization of the Transactions Contemplated by the Agreement.  (a)  It is the intention of the parties that the transactions contemplated hereby constitute (other than for tax purposes) the sale of the Transferred Interest, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any Adverse Claims to the Purchasers, and that the Transferred Interest not be part of the Transferor’s estate in the event of an insolvency.  If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the transactions contemplated hereby should be deemed a financing, the parties intend that the Transferor shall be deemed to have granted to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Purchasers, and the Transferor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Purchasers, a first priority perfected and continuing security interest in all of the Transferor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables outstanding on the Initial Incremental Transfer Date and thereafter owned by the Transferor, together with the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto and all Proceeds of the foregoing, whether now owned or hereafter acquired and wherever located, the Lock-Box Accounts, and all of the Transferor’s rights under the Receivables Purchase Agreement with respect to the Receivables and with respect to any obligations thereunder of the Seller with respect to the Receivables, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.  If, notwithstanding the intention of the parties expressed above, any sale or transfer by the Transferor hereunder shall be characterized as a secured loan and not a sale or such sale shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable, the Transferor represents and warrants that each remittance of Collections to the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers hereunder will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs. The Transferor hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Purchasers, all of its rights and remedies under the Receivables Purchase Agreement with respect to the Receivables and with respect to any obligations thereunder of the Seller with respect to the Receivables.  The Transferor shall not give any consent or waiver required or permitted to be given under the Receivables Purchase Agreement without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Purchasers, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
