                                  AMENDMENT TO
                 SALES / MANAGEMENT / RENTAL / USAGE AGREEMENTS

         This Agreement dated to be effective as of December 12, 2001, made by
and between VENTURE INDUSTRIES CORPORATION, VENTURE HOLDINGS CORPORATION and
VEMCO INC., all of which are incorporated in the State of Michigan and doing
business at 33662 James J. Pompo Dr. Fraser, Michigan. (hereinafter collectively
referred to as VENTURE) and VENTURE SALES & ENGINEERING CORP. (hereinafter
referred to as SALES), VENTURE HEAVY MACHINERY LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY,
REALVEN, INC., VENTURE REAL ESTATE INC., VENTURE REAL ESTATE ACQUISITION
COMPANY, VENTURE EQUIPMENT ACQUISITION COMPANY and VENTURE AUTOMOTIVE CORP.
(hereinafter collectively referred to as OWNERS) all of which are Michigan
entities doing business at 33662 James J. Pompo Dr., Fraser, Michigan.

                                    RECITALS

Whereas, the parties have had a mutually beneficial long-term business
relationship and wish to continue that relationship.

Whereas SALES has provided management/commission sales activity for VENTURE
pursuant to various contracts and contract amendments for a number of years.

Whereas OWNERS have leased or provided under various usage agreements, equipment
and buildings to VENTURE to meet the manufacturing needs of VENTURE.

Whereas SALES has assisted VENTURE in obtaining and advised Venture relative to
new program awards as part of their contractual agreement and relationship.

Whereas SALES and VENTURE have identified several significant new vehicle
programs (primarily the WK) to be awarded by DaimlerChrylser Corporation (DCX)
which could be expected to generate sales of approximately six to seven hundred
million dollars per year (over three billion dollars over the five year expected
program life).

Whereas both SALES and VENTURE have determined that in order to obtain the
exterior portion of the WK program, (the interior portion of the program having
already been awarded to VENTURE by DCX) additional price concessions will have
to be granted to DCX over and above what VENTURE has previously granted to DCX
for 2001.

Whereas VENTURE is presently unwilling to lower the prices quoted to DCX for the
WK exterior program in light of the previous reductions that were granted to
DCX.

Whereas SALES is interested in encouraging VENTURE to grant the additional WK
exterior price reduction and believes that the reduction is necessary to assure
the program is awarded to VENTURE, and therefore, SALES is willing to assist
VENTURE in obtaining this business by undertaking the obligation as contemplated
in this Agreement to protect and enhance its existing commission/management fee
income, given the expected commission/management fee income to be received over
the term of the WK program could be as high as ninety million dollars.

Whereas as an additional inducement for the promises being made by SALES to
assist VENTURE in getting the additional DCX business, VENTURE has agreed to
amend the payment terms of certain agreements between VENTURE, SALES and certain
affiliates of SALES (the OWNERS).

Whereas there is a substantial amount of receivables owed by SALES and the
OWNERS to VENTURE, which the parties wish to facilitate making some repayment of
in order to improve the financial appearance of VENTURE to its current and
prospective lenders.

Now therefore, for the mutual consideration exchanged between the parties as set
forth herein, the parties hereby agree to the following:

1.       Commission Reduction/Inducement. To encourage VENTURE to provide DCX
         with lower WK exterior pricing, SALES agrees to irrevocably reduce
         commissions and/or management fees that have been earned in 2001 under
         their existing sales representation agreement by the amount of Four
         Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,600,000) [the "Set Off
         Amount"].

2.       Repayment of Commissions. The Parties agree that the Set Off Amount
         will be paid as follows: (i) amounts outstanding as of December 12,
         2001 (which are approximately $1.5 million) of the amounts owed by
         VENTURE to SALES shall be used to offset amounts owed by SALES to
         VENTURE and (ii) on or before December 31, 2002, the rest of the Set
         Off Amount (approximately $3.1 million), owed by VENTURE to SALES shall
         be repaid by SALES to VENTURE.

3.       Amendment of Payment Terms of Sales/Lease/Usage Agreements. In exchange
         for SALES irrevocably reducing the commission and/or management fees as
         set forth in paragraph 1, the payment terms under all existing sales,
         lease and usage agreements between the parties (see attached Exhibit A)
         are hereby amended so that (a) the sales, lease and usage fee payments
         expected to be accrued during 2002 will be accelerated so that they
         credited as if they were due under such agreements on or before January
         2nd, 2002 and (b) those sales, lease and usage fee payments payable by
         VENTURE to the OWNERS that accrue after the 2002 calendar year shall be
         accelerated so that they are due on or before the later of January 2nd
         of each succeeding calendar year (for such year) and the date that the
         Reconciliation (as defined below) is made for the such year [such
         accelerated payment term being herein referred to as the "Accelerated
         Terms"]. Such Accelerated Terms shall remain effective until the end of
         the calendar year ending with the conclusion of the WK model year
         program and any successor program to WK (if such successor program is
         awarded to VENTURE); provided that in no case shall the Accelerated
         Terms be applicable to any accruals for any year after 2006.

         As soon as the relevant information is available for a specific
         calendar year, there shall be a determination of whether there was an
         overpayment or underpayment of any sales / lease / usage fees for the
         year (the "Reconciliation") and any such amounts shall be set off
         against or added to, as the case may be, the next following year's
         amounts payable.

4.       Repayment of Receivable/Setoff. As additional consideration for the
         change in payment terms set forth in paragraph 3, the parties agree
         that VENTURE (i) shall setoff any sales / lease / usage fees that SALES
         and OWNERS are owed by VENTURE for the 2002 calendar year against the
         receivables owed by SALES and OWNERS to VENTURE and may setoff any
         sales / lease / usage fees that SALES and OWNERS are owed by VENTURE
         for the 2003-6 calendar years against the receivables owed by SALES and
         OWNERS to VENTURE.

         The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision or
         condition contained in this agreement shall not operate or be construed
         as a waiver of any subsequent breach or of any other condition hereof.

         Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the
         meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
