                     Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in
                     full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof
                     and thereof; and

              (ii)   in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of
                     any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will

                     Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any
                     performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the
                     Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay
                     the same immediately.

         (b)  The obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of
              the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or the
              Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any
              waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any
              provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against
              the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other
              circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
              discharge or defense of a guarantor.

         (c)  The following is hereby waived: diligence, presentment, demand of
              payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency
              or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding
              first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands
              whatsoever.

         (d)  This Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be discharged except by
              complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and
              the Indenture.

         (e)  If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise
              to return to the Company, the Guarantors, or any Custodian,
              trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation
              to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either
              to the Trustee or such Holder, this Subsidiary Guarantee, to the
              extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force
              and effect.

         (f)  The Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall not be entitled to any right of
              subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any
              obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all
              obligations guaranteed hereby.

         (g)  As between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and
              the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the
              obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in
              Article 6 of the Indenture for the purposes of this Subsidiary
              Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other
              prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the
              obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any
              declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in
              Article 6 of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due
              and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the
              Guarantors for the purpose of this Subsidiary Guarantee.

         (h)  The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any
              non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does
              not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee.

         (i)  Pursuant to Section 10.03 of the Indenture, after giving effect to
              any maximum amount and any other contingent and fixed liabilities
              that are relevant under any applicable Bankruptcy or fraudulent
              conveyance laws, and after giving effect to any collections from,
              rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on
              behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of
              such other Guarantor under Article 10 of the Indenture shall
              result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Subsidiary
              Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

         3. EXECUTION AND DELIVERY. Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that the
Subsidiary Guarantees shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any
failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee.

         4. GUARANTEEING SUBSIDIARIES MAY CONSOLIDATE, ETC. ON CERTAIN TERMS.

         (a)  The Guaranteeing Subsidiaries may not sell or otherwise dispose of
              all or substantially all of their assets to, or consolidate with
              or merge with or into (whether or not such Guaranteeing Subsidiary
              is the surviving Person) another Person unless:

              (i)    immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no
                     Default or Event of Default exists; and

              (ii)   either:

                     (A)  the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or
                          disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any
                          such consolidation or merger assumes all the
                          obligations of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary under





                                       3
<PAGE>

                          the Indenture, the Guaranty and the Registration
                          Rights Agreement, pursuant to a supplemental indenture
                          satisfactory to the Trustee and appropriate collateral
                          documents satisfactory to the Trustee; or

                     (B)  the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are
                          applied in accordance with the applicable provisions
                          of the Indenture.

         (b)  In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and
              upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental
              indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory
              in form to the Trustee, of the Subsidiary Guarantees endorsed upon
              the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the
              covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be performed by the
              Guarantor, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be
              substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had
              been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor corporation
              thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Subsidiary
              Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder
              which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and
              delivered to the Trustee. All the Subsidiary Guarantees so issued
              shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under
              the Indenture as the Subsidiary Guarantees theretofore and
              thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture as
              though all of such Subsidiary Guarantees had been issued at the
              date of the execution hereof.

         (c)  Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 of the Indenture, and
              notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in
              the Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any
              consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or
              another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the
              property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an
              entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.

         5.   RELEASES.

         (a)  The Subsidiary Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released (i) in
              connection with any sale or other disposition of all or
              substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by
              way of merger or consolidation), to a Person that is not (either
              before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted
              Subsidiary of the Company, if the Guarantor applies the Net
              Proceeds of that sale or other disposition in accordance with
              Section 4.10 of the Indenture; (ii) in connection with any sale of
              all of the capital stock of a Guarantor to a person that is not
              (either before or after giving effect to such



                                       4
<PAGE>

              transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the
              Company applies the Net Proceeds of that sale in accordance with
              Section 4.10 of the Indenture; (iii) if the Company properly
              designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an
              Unrestricted Subsidiary; (iv) if that Guarantor ceases to
              guarantee, pledge any of its assets or otherwise provide direct or
              indirect credit support for any Indebtedness or other obligations
              of Dura Automotive Systems, Inc., the Company or any Restricted
              Subsidiary; or (v) in connection with the sale, disposition or
              transfer of all of the assets of a Guarantor to another Guarantor
              or the Company. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an
              Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
              such sale or other disposition was made by the, Company in
              accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, including without
              limitation Section 4.10 of the Indenture, the Trustee shall
              execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the
              release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Subsidiary
              Guarantee.

         (b)  Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its
              Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of
              principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other
              obligations of any Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in
              Article 10 of the Indenture.

         6. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director,
officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or agent of the Guaranteeing
Subsidiaries, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the
Company or any Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Notes, any Subsidiary
Guarantees, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based
on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each
Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability.
The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.
Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal
securities laws and it is the view of the Commission that such a waiver is
against public policy.

         7. NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE BUT WITHOUT
GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT
THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

         8. COUNTERPARTS. The parties may sign any number of copies of this
Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them
together represent the same agreement.





                                       5

         9. EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The Section headings herein are for convenience
only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

         10. THE TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner
whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental
Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which
recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries and the Company.


                                       6

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Supplemental
Indenture to be duly executed and attested, all as of the date first above
written.
