         II.      LICENSE GRANT

         2.1 License Grant. Effective from and after the Effective Date,
Licensor hereby grants to Licensee, and Licensee hereby accepts from Licensor,
subject to any licenses previously granted to third parties, a perpetual,
irrevocable, non-exclusive, fully paid-up, royalty-free worldwide license to use
the Licensed IP to make, have made, import, use, offer for sale, promote,
distribute, sell products and processes, and otherwise commercially exploit the
Licensed IP in all fields outside of the Automotive Field; provided, however,
that the license granted with respect to the Trademarks included in the Licensed
IP is limited to those fields in which Licensee and TRW presently conduct and
operate their respective businesses excluding the Automotive Field (such
businesses, collectively the "TRW Businesses"), for so long as any of them shall
use the Trademarks. Such license includes, without limitation, the right to
distribute, and create derivative works from any copyrighted materials included
in Licensed IP and the right to use any trade secrets and know-how included in
Licensed IP.

         2.2 Copies. Licensee may make such number of copies of the applicable
Licensed IP as is reasonably necessary to accomplish the permitted uses set
forth in Section 2.1. All copies shall be subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement.

         2.3 Exclusion of All Other Rights. Except as expressly provided herein,
Licensee is granted no rights or licenses whatsoever in or to the Licensed IP or
any other Licensor products, services or other Licensor intellectual,
proprietary or personal rights. Licensor hereby expressly reserves all rights
and licenses not expressly granted in this Agreement. In particular and without
limiting the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to convey to
Licensee the legal title to any Licensed IP.

         2.4 Right to Sublicense. Licensee shall be free to grant sublicenses to
any Subsidiary or Affiliate of Licensee for so long as such Person remains a
Subsidiary or an Affiliate of Licensee. Any such sublicense shall be subordinate
to and conform to the terms and conditions of this License, and shall not
include the right for such sublicensee to grant sublicenses to persons who are
not also Subsidiaries or Affiliates of Licensee. Licensee shall also be free to
grant sublicenses to persons who are not Subsidiaries or Affiliates of Licensee
to the extent necessary to exercise its "have made" rights as provided in
Section 2.1. Any such sublicense shall be subordinate to and conform to the
terms and conditions of this License; shall not include the right for such
sublicensee to grant sublicenses to other persons; and shall not include the
right for such sublicensee to make, sell or distribute products made using the
Licensed IP for such sublicensee's own account or the account of any person
other than Licensee or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of Licensee. In addition,
Licensee shall require that any such sublicensee implement and maintain
practices and policies sufficient to preserve the confidentiality of all
Licensed IP provided to such sublicensee by Licensee, and Licensee shall be
solely responsible, as between Licensee and Licensor, for any breach of
confidentiality with respect to the Licensed IP by any such sublicensee. Except
as expressly set forth in this provision, Licensee shall not, without the prior
written approval of Licensor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed, or conditioned, sublicense or transfer in any way any Licensed IP.

         2.5 Intellectual Property Notices and Markings. Licensee shall
accurately produce and reproduce all Licensor intellectual property notices on
all copies Licensee produces or reproduces of the Licensed IP. In no event shall
Licensee remove any Licensor intellectual property notices from any materials.

                                       3


         2.6 Quality Control. Licensee agrees that the use of the Trademarks
included in the Licensed IP shall comply with all quality control standards and
usage guidelines as may be reasonably established by Licensor from time to time
and then in effect, and shall be in conformance with good manufacturing
practices and trademark usage generally. Licensor hereby deems all current uses
of such Trademarks by Licensee and its Affiliates to meet its quality control
standards and usage guidelines; provided, however, that if Licensor shall change
the styling or appearance of any such Trademark, Licensee shall take
commercially reasonable measures to conform its usage of such Trademark to the
new styling or appearance, but Licensee shall be free to exhaust all existing
stock and inventory of products and materials of any kind bearing the Trademark
prior to the referenced change in styling or appearance. Licensee shall not
require Licensor's approval for new uses of the Trademarks that are
substantially similar to those made by Licensee and its Affiliates prior to the
Closing Date, but shall obtain Licensor's prior approval and consent, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned, for any use that
materially varies from such prior use with respect to the quality or nature of
the goods or services in connection with which the Trademarks are used, or the
form or manner of their display. Licensor shall not require Licensee to follow
quality control standards or usage guidelines that are substantially different
from those that Licensor imposes on other licensees generally, taking into
account any relevant differences in their respective markets or products.
Licensee agrees not to contest Licensor's ownership of the Trademarks, not to
disparage or call into question the validity, value or ownership thereof, and
not to use any of the Trademarks in any manner so as to create a combined
trademark.

         2.7. Notice and Cooperation Respecting New Trademark Use. Licensee
shall notify Licensor reasonably in advance of Licensee's intention to commence
a new use of any Trademark included in the Licensed IP in any jurisdiction, or
in any international classification of use within any jurisdiction, in which
such Trademark has not previously been registered. Licensor shall have the sole
discretion to determine whether or not to apply for such registration, but a
determination by Licensor not to apply for such registration shall not preclude
Licensee from commencing such new use. Licensee shall cooperate with Licensor
and take such actions as Licensor may reasonably request, including entering
into a royalty-free, paid-up registered user agreement prior to commencing such
new use, that Licensor may reasonably consider necessary or desirable to
preserve and protect its rights in the Trademark under the applicable local law.

         III.     OWNERSHIP

         3.1 Licensed IP. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that, as between the
Parties and subject to the rights and licenses granted herein, Licensor is, and
at all times shall remain, the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and
interest, throughout the world (including all intellectual property and other
proprietary rights), in and to all Licensed IP, and any copies of the Licensed
IP, whether made by or on behalf of Licensor or Licensee.

         IV.      PROTECTION OF LICENSED TECHNOLOGY

         4.1 Legal Action. Except as set forth below, Licensor shall maintain
sole control and discretion over the prosecution and maintenance with respect to
all rights, including all intellectual property rights in and to the Licensed
IP.

                                       4


         4.2      Protection of Intellectual Property Rights.

         (a) Licensor and the Licensee shall cooperate to police diligently the
Licensed IP. The Licensee shall promptly notify Licensor in writing of any
unauthorized use, infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation of
the Licensed IP of which it becomes aware.

         (b) Licensor shall have the primary right, but not the obligation, to
bring and control any suits against any unauthorized use, infringement,
misappropriation, dilution or other violation of the Licensed IP. Licensor shall
be entitled to retain the entirety of any award arising from such suit. Licensee
agrees to cooperate with Licensor in any litigation or other enforcement action
that Licensor may undertake to enforce or protect the Licensed IP in the field
of the TRW Businesses pursuant to Section 4.2(a) and, upon Licensor's request,
to execute, file and deliver all documents and proof necessary for such purpose,
including being named as a Party to such litigation as required by law. Licensee
shall have the right to participate and be represented in any such action, suit
or proceeding by its own counsel at its own expense. Licensee shall have no
claim of any kind against Licensor based on or arising out of the Licensor's
handling of or decisions concerning any such action, suit, proceeding,
settlement, or compromise, and the Licensee hereby irrevocably releases Licensor
from any such claim; provided, however, that Licensor shall not settle,
compromise or voluntarily dispose of any such action, suit or proceeding in a
manner that would materially restrict the rights or benefits of Licensee
pursuant to this agreement without the prior consent of Licensee, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. In the event
Licensor elects not to exercise this right, Licensee, upon prior written
approval from Licensor, may bring such suit, and Licensor agrees to reasonably
cooperate with Licensee, including being named as a party to such suit. If
Licensee elects to bring such suit, it shall be entitled to that portion of any
award based upon the actual damage to the TRW Businesses directly resulting from
such unauthorized use, infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other
violation of the Licensed IP.

         (c) Each Party shall bear the costs, fees and expenses incurred by it
in complying with the provisions of Section 4.2, including those incurred in
bringing or controlling any such suits.

         V.       REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         5.1 Each Party hereto represents and warrants that (i) it is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of its state of incorporation, (ii) it has the corporate power and authority to
enter into this Agreement, and the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the transactions and other documents contemplated hereby have been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Licensor, and
(iii) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the authorized
officers of such Party, and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of
the Party, fully enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms,
subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization,
moratorium, and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting
creditors' rights, and general equity principles.

                                       5


         VI.      INDEMNIFICATION

         6.1 No Duty to Indemnify. Except as provided in the Master Purchase
Agreement, Licensor shall not under any circumstances, be obligated to
indemnify, defend, or hold Licensee, its Affiliates, or their respective
representatives, officers, directors, stockholders, employees, or agents (the
"Licensee Parties"), harmless from any liability, claims, demands, causes of
action, judgments, damages, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' and
experts' fees and costs) which the Licensee Parties may incur or become liable
for as a result of Licensee's and its sublicensees' use of the Licensed IP in
accordance with this Agreement.

         6.2 Licensee's Duty to Indemnify. Licensee shall indemnify, defend, and
hold Licensor, its Affiliates, and their respective representatives, officers,
directors, stockholders, employees, and agents (the "Licensor Parties"),
harmless from any and all liability, claims, demands, causes of action,
judgments, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' and experts'
fees and costs) which the Licensor Parties may incur or become liable for as a
result of claims by any Person to the extent arising from Licensee's and its
sublicensees' use of Licensed IP other than any third party claims covered by
Section 6.1; provided, however, that Licensee shall not be obligated to defend
or hold harmless any Licensor Parties in the event that such claims, demands,
causes of action, judgments, damages and, expenses arose out of willful
misconduct, gross negligence, or bad faith by any Licensor Parties.

         6.3 Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by the
indemnified party of notice of any action, proceeding, claim, or potential claim
(any of which is hereinafter individually referred to as a "Claim") which could
give rise to a right to indemnification hereunder, the indemnified party shall
give the indemnifying party written notice describing the Claim in reasonable
detail, along with copies of any correspondence, court papers, or other writings
setting forth the Claim. The indemnifying party shall have the right, at its
option, to take over responsibility for the defense or settlement of the Claim,
at its own expense and by counsel of its own selection. The indemnified party
shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party and its counsel in the
defense and/or settlement of any such Claim. If the indemnifying party takes
over the defense of the Claim, the indemnified party shall have the right, at
their own expense, to participate in the defense of such Claim. The indemnifying
party shall not enter into any settlement with respect to such Claim without the
indemnified party's prior written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. In the event that the
indemnifying party shall decline to take over the defense of the Claim, the
indemnified party shall have the right to assume the defense of the Claim and to
resolve the Claim as it finds appropriate, in its reasonable opinion; provided,
however, that the indemnified party shall not enter into any settlement with
respect to such Claim without the indemnifying party 's prior written consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned. In
the event it is ultimately determined that the Claim in fact is covered by the
indemnification provisions under Section 6.2 of this Agreement, the indemnified
party shall be entitled to recover from the indemnifying party as provided in
Section 6.2.


         VII.     LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY

         7.1 Disclaimer of Consequential and Special Damages. TO THE MAXIMUM
EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY NOR ANY RELATED ENTITY


                                       6


THEREOF SHALL BE LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO THE OTHER PARTY, ANY RELATED
ENTITY THEREOF OR ANY OTHER THIRD PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, RELIANCE OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR LOST OR IMPUTED PROFITS,
LOST DATA OR COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, WHETHER
LIABILITY IS ASSERTED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT PRODUCT
LIABILITY) INDEMNITY OR CONTRIBUTION, AND IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER A PARTY OR ANY
RELATED ENTITY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE.

         VIII.    CONFIDENTIALITY

         8.1 The Parties agree that all information which is communicated from
time to time by them to each other and their respective Affiliates, agents,
attorneys, accountants, and employees in connection with this Agreement (whether
oral, electronic or written of any kind or nature), or which is confidential and
proprietary to the person disclosing the same or which is technical confidential
information belonging to one Party that was already in the possession of the
other Party as of the Effective Date shall be deemed secret and confidential
("Confidential Information"). The Parties agree that the Confidential
Information received by them from the other will be maintained in confidence and
that the same will not be disclosed to or used by any person, firm, or
undertaking except their own agents and employees, subcontractors or
distributors hereunder who need to know and/or use such Confidential Information
for the purposes of this Agreement. Any such person given access to Confidential
Information shall be subject to confidentiality provisions by agreement with
Licensor or Licensee no less restrictive than those set forth herein. If either
Party is required by law to disclose any Confidential Information it has
received, it will take reasonable efforts to minimize the extent of any required
disclosure and to obtain an undertaking from the recipient to maintain the
confidentiality thereof. Either Party must promptly inform the other Party of
any information it believes comes within the circumstances in the immediately
preceding sentence. Each Party will cooperate with the other Party, at the other
Party's expense, in seeking to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential
Information. Each Party's obligations under this Section 8 shall terminate, with
respect to any particular information, five (5) years after the date of
disclosure of such information; provided, however, that each Party's obligations
under this Section 8 with respect to any technical information that the
providing Party protects as a trade secret shall be kept confidential for five
(5) years or such longer period as such information has not become publicly and
readily available in the marketplace to third Parties without being subject to
confidentiality protections.

         8.2 Marking. All Confidential Information communicated under this
Agreement in writing shall be marked by the disclosing part with a conspicuous
legend, marking or stamp as Confidential Information. Confidential Information
communicated in non-written format shall be identified by the disclosing Party
as confidential at the time of such communication and promptly thereafter
reduced to writing and marked as Confidential Information by the disclosing
Party. The Parties agree that the trade secrets and know-how included in the
Licensed IP shall be treated as Confidential Information regardless of whether
such trade secrets and know-how are marked, stamped or otherwise identified as
confidential.

                                       7


         8.3 Exceptions. Nothing in this Section 8 shall require the recipient
Party to hold in confidence or otherwise protect from unauthorized use of
disclosure any information that: (i) is known to the recipient at the time of
receipt; or (ii) is or becomes publicly available through no wrongful act of the
recipient; or (iii) is rightfully received by the recipient from a third Party
without restriction and without breach of any agreement; or (iv) is
independently developed by the recipient without breach of this Agreement; or
(v) is furnished by the disclosing Party to a third Party without restriction.

the benefits thereof only by a written instrument signed by an authorized
officer of the Party granting such waiver, but such waiver or failure to insist
upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition

other failure.

and other headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of
reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of

controlled affiliate, provided that such purchaser agrees to be bound by all of
the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No assignment shall relieve either
Party of any of its rights and obligations hereunder. The granting of a security
interest in this Agreement or Licensee's rights under this Agreement, in the

violate this provision; nor shall it violate this provision for any secured
party to exercise it rights under any agreement relating to such security
interest.

         9.9 Fees and Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated by
