4.    QUALITY CONTROL

      4.2.  Licensee agrees that Licensor has the right to control the
quality of all Licensed Products manufactured, sold, and marketed by Licensee
under the Trademark Rights.  If Licensor determines, in Licensor's sole
reasonable discretion, that the quality of the Licensed Products fail to meet

terminate this Agreement upon ninety (90) days' written notice to Licensee,
unless such breach is cured.

      4.3.  Licensee shall permit Licensor or Licensor's appointed agent to

where any Licensed Product is manufactured or sold, to inspect the Licensed
Products and the manner in which the Licensed Products are marketed.
Licensee shall also provide, upon request of Licensor, representative samples
of the Licensed Products and any advertising therefor.

      4.4.  Licensee agrees not to use the Trademark Rights in connection
with any Licensed Products where the character, appearance, quality, or
suitability thereof is disapproved by Licensor.  The Licensed Products sold
and manufactured under the Trademark Rights shall be in compliance with all
applicable national, state, and local laws and regulations governing the
Licensed Products.

      4.5.  LEVERAGING OF THE TRADEMARK RIGHTS

            4.5.1.      Subject to approval of Licensor and subject to the
      quality control standards set forth herein, Licensee may utilize the
      Trademark Rights in conjunction with any marks owned or created by
      Licensee, but only to the extent that such use of the Trademark Rights is
      reasonably intended to promote the Licensed Products, and only to the
      extent that such use does not dilute any of the Trademark Rights.

            4.5.2.      Subject to approval of Licensor and subject to the
      quality control standards set forth herein, Licensee shall use the word

<PAGE>

      promotion, or marketing of the Licensed Products and such New Marks
      must be distinctive over all other New Marks that are created by
      additional Licensees of Licensor under similar terms.  The parties agree
      that Licensee's use of such New Marks, including the goodwill arising
      from such use, shall inure to the benefit of Licensor, and Licensee shall
      have no right whatsoever to the New Marks except as specifically set
      forth herein.  Licensee agrees to not use the New Marks, or any
      simulation or variant thereof, or any mark, name, logo, design, likeness,
      or other representation confusingly similar to any of the New Marks,
      except as specifically set forth herein.

            4.5.3   Licensee agrees to use the New Marks whenever the Cragar
      name or logo is used.

            4.5.4.  Licensee's right to use the Trademark Rights, any marks
      derived from or including any of the Trademark Rights, and any New Marks,
      as contemplated by this PARAGRAPH 4.5, shall immediately cease upon
      termination of this Agreement for any reason.
