Collection Agent Party of their respective Obligations (as hereinafter defined)
under the Transaction Documents.

                                    AGREEMENT

     NOW, THEREFORE, each Performance Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

         Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined
herein shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Receivables
Loan Agreement. In addition:

         "Obligations" means, collectively, all covenants, agreements, terms,
conditions and indemnities to be performed and observed by each Originator
(whether in its capacity as a "Seller" under an Originator Purchase Agreement, a
Collection Agent Party or otherwise) under and pursuant to the Originator
Purchase Agreements, the Servicing Agreement and each other Transaction Document
to which such Originator is a party, including, without limitation, the due and
punctual payment when due of all sums which are or may become due and owing by
such Originator under such Transaction Documents, whether for fees, expenses
(including counsel fees), indemnified amounts or otherwise, whether upon any
termination or for any other reason

                                       2

and including, without limitation, interest, fees and other obligations that
accrue after the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
proceeding (in each case whether or not allowed as a claim in such proceeding).
For the avoidance of doubt, references in this Guaranty to an "Originator" shall
be deemed to refer to such party in its capacity as an Originator, a Seller, a
Collection Agent Party and in any other capacity it may have under the
Transaction Documents.

         Section 2. Guaranty of Performance of Obligations. Each Performance
Guarantor hereby guarantees to each Recipient and each other Secured Party
(collectively, the "Beneficiaries"), the full and punctual payment and
performance when due by each Originator of its respective Obligations. This
Guaranty is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of the full and
punctual payment and performance of all of the respective Obligations of each
Originator under the Transaction Documents and each other document executed and
delivered by such Originator pursuant to the Transaction Documents and is in no
way conditioned upon any requirement that any Beneficiary first attempt to
collect from such Originator, any other Performance Guarantor or any other
Person, any amounts owing by such Originator to such Beneficiary or resort to
any collateral security, any balance of any deposit account or credit on the
books of such Beneficiary in favor of such Originator or any other Person or
other means of obtaining payment. Should any Originator default in the payment
or performance of any of its respective Obligations, each Beneficiary (or its
assigns) may require the immediate performance thereof by any Performance
Guarantor and require any payment of any Obligations that are then due and
payable to such Beneficiary (or its assigns) to be paid by any Performance
Guarantor, without other demand or notice of any nature (other than as expressly
provided herein), all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Performance
Guarantor.

         Section 3. Performance Guarantors' Further Agreements to Pay. Each
Performance Guarantor further agrees, as the principal obligor and not as a
guarantor only, to pay to each Beneficiary (and its assigns), forthwith upon
demand in funds immediately available to such Beneficiary, all reasonable costs
and expenses (including court costs and legal expenses) incurred or expended by
such Beneficiary in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty, together
with interest on amounts recoverable under this Guaranty from the time when such
amounts become due until payment, at a rate of interest (computed for the actual
number of days elapsed based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be)
equal to the Base Rate plus 2% per annum, such rate of interest changing when
and as the Base Rate changes; provided, that in no event shall such rate exceed
the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

         Section 4. Waivers by each Performance Guarantor. Each Performance
Guarantor waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) notice
of acceptance of this Guaranty, (b) presentment, demand, protest, notice of any
action taken or omitted by any Beneficiary (or its assigns) in reliance on this
Guaranty, and (c) any requirement that any Beneficiary (or its assigns) be
diligent or prompt in making demands under this Guaranty, giving notice of any
Termination Event, other default or omission by any Originator or asserting any
other rights of such Beneficiary under this Guaranty. Each Performance Guarantor
also waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any right
(whether now existing or hereafter arising) to require a Beneficiary, as a
condition to the enforcement of this Guaranty, (x) to accelerate the
Obligations, (y) to give notice to such Performance Guarantor of the terms, time
and place of any sale of any security for the Obligations and (z) to proceed
against any

                                       3

Originator or any other guarantor or to proceed against or exhaust any security
for the Obligations. Each Performance Guarantor warrants that it has adequate
means to obtain from each Originator, on a continuing basis, information
concerning the financial condition of such Originator, and that it is not
relying on any Beneficiary to provide such information, now or in the future.
Each Performance Guarantor also irrevocably waives, to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law, all defenses (i) that at any time may be available
in respect of the Obligations by virtue of any statute of limitations,
valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect
or (ii) that arise under the law of suretyship, including impairment of
collateral. Each Beneficiary (and its assigns) shall be at liberty, without
giving notice to or obtaining the assent of any Performance Guarantor and
without relieving any Performance Guarantor of any liability under this
Guaranty, to deal with each Originator and with each other party who now is or
after the date hereof becomes liable in any manner for any of the Obligations,
in such manner as such Beneficiary in its sole discretion deems fit, and to this
end each Performance Guarantor agrees that, to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law, the validity and enforceability of this Guaranty, including
without limitation, the provisions of Section 8 hereof, shall not be impaired or
affected by any of the following: (a) any extension, modification or renewal of,
or indulgence with respect to, or substitutions for, the Obligations or any part
thereof or any agreement relating thereto at any time; (b) any failure or
omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Obligations
or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or any collateral
securing the Obligations or any part thereof; (c) any waiver of any right, power
or remedy in connection with any Termination Event or default with respect to
the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto; (d) any
release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or
modification, with or without consideration, of any other obligation of any
person or entity with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof; (e) the
enforceability or validity of the Obligations or any part thereof, or any
security therefor, or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any
agreement relating thereto or with respect to the Obligations or any part
thereof; (f) the application of payments received from any source to the payment
of any payment Obligations of any Originator or any part thereof or amounts
which are not covered by this Guaranty even though any Beneficiary (or its
assigns) might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all
of the payment Obligations of any Originator or to amounts which are not covered
by this Guaranty; (g) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which
any Performance Guarantor may have at any time against any Originator in
connection herewith or any unrelated transaction; (h) any assignment or transfer
of the Obligations or any part thereof; (i) any failure on the part of any
Originator to perform or comply with any term of the Transaction Documents or
any other document executed in connection therewith or delivered thereunder; (j)
any disability or other defense of any Person with respect to the Obligations,
whether consensual or arising by operation of law; or (k) any other circumstance
whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Performance Guarantor)
which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal
discharge of such Performance Guarantor under this Guaranty, all whether or not
such Performance Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any act or
omission referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (j) of this Section 4.

         Section 5. Unenforceability of Obligations Against An Originator.
Notwithstanding (a) any change of ownership of any Originator or the insolvency,
bankruptcy or any other change in the legal status of any Originator; (b) the
change in or the imposition of any law, decree, regulation or other governmental
act which does or might impair, delay or in any

                                       4

way affect the validity, enforceability or the payment when due of the
Obligations; (c) the failure of any Originator or any Performance Guarantor to
maintain in full force, validity or effect or to obtain or renew when required
all governmental and other approvals, licenses or consents required in
connection with the Obligations or this Guaranty, or to take any other action
required in connection with the performance of all obligations pursuant to the
Obligations or this Guaranty; or (d) if any of the moneys included in the
Obligations have become unrecoverable from any Originator for any other reason
other than indefeasible payment in full of the payment Obligations in accordance
with their terms, this Guaranty shall nevertheless be binding on each
Performance Guarantor. This Guaranty shall be in addition to any other guaranty
or other security for the Obligations, and it shall not be rendered
unenforceable by the invalidity of any such other guaranty or security. In the
event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is
stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Originator or
for any other reason with respect to any Originator, all such amounts then due
and owing with respect to the Obligations under the terms of the Agreements, or
any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection
with the Obligations, shall be immediately due and payable by the Performance
Guarantors.

         Section 6. Representations and Warranties. Each Performance Guarantor
(with respect to paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d), (m) and (o) below) and TRW
Acquisition (with respect to each other paragraph in this Section 6) hereby
represents and warrants to each Beneficiary as of the date hereof and as of the
date of each purchase under an Originator Purchase Agreement, each loan under
the European Loan Agreement, each purchase under the Transfer Agreement and each
Loan and Release under the Receivables Loan Agreement (except that the
representations set forth in paragraphs (g), (h) and (k) below shall be required
to be made only as of the date of each Loan and each Reporting Date) that:

         (a) Such Performance Guarantor is duly organized, validly existing and,
if organized under the laws of one of the states of the United States of
America, in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization,
and, is duly qualified to do business, and is in good standing as a foreign
corporation or company, in every jurisdiction where the nature of its business
requires it to be so qualified, unless the failure to so qualify would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         (b) The execution, delivery and performance by such Performance
Guarantor of this Guaranty (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action and (ii) will not (A) violate (1) such Performance Guarantor's
organizational documents, (2) any Law applicable to such Performance Guarantor
or (3) any provision of any indenture, certificate of designation for preferred
stock, agreement or other instrument to which such Performance Guarantor is a
party or by which it or any of its property is or may be bound or (B) be in
conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (alone or with notice or
lapse of time or both) a default under, give rise to a right of or result in any
cancellation of a material right or acceleration of any material payment
obligations under any such indenture, certificate of designation for preferred
stock, agreement or other instrument, where any such conflict, violation, breach
or default referred to in clause (ii) of this Section 6(b), could reasonably be
expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect
and (iii) do not result in or require the creation of any Adverse Claim upon or
with respect to any of its properties. This Guaranty has been duly executed and
delivered by such Performance Guarantor.

                                       5

         (c) No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to
or filing with, any Official Body is required for the due execution, delivery
and performance by such Performance Guarantor of this Guaranty or any other
document to be delivered by it hereunder, except for such as have been obtained
or made and are in full force and effect.

         (d) This Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation
of such Performance Guarantor enforceable against such Performance Guarantor in
accordance with its terms, subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency,
moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights
generally, (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii)
implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing.

         (e) TRW Acquisition has heretofore furnished to each Beneficiary
combined balance sheets and combined statements of income, cash flows and
owners' equity of TRW Automotive Inc. and its subsidiaries (i) as of and for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 1999 (in the case of the combined statements of
income, cash flows and owners' equity), December 31, 2000 and December 31, 2001,
audited by and accompanied by the opinion of Ernst & Young LLP, independent
public accountants as set forth in the Offering Memorandum (as defined in the
Senior Credit Agreement) and (ii) as of and for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2002, reviewed by Ernst & Young LLP pursuant to Statement of
Auditing Standards No. 71, as set forth in the Offering Memorandum. Such
combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position and results of operations of TRW Automotive Inc. and its
subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods. Neither TRW Acquisition nor
any of its Subsidiaries has or shall have as of the Closing Date any Guarantee,
contingent liability or liability for Taxes, or any long-term lease or unusual
forward or long-term commitment, including any interest rate or foreign currency
hedging transaction, that individually is material and is not reflected in the
foregoing statements or the notes thereto, other than pursuant to the
Transaction Documents and the Loan Documents (as defined in the Senior Credit
Agreement or otherwise in connection with the Transactions (as defined in the
Senior Credit Agreement) or in respect of obligations under purchase and sale
agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business. Such financial
statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP (subject to year-end audit
adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the cases of clauses (ii) and (iii)
above).

         (f) TRW Acquisition has heretofore furnished to the Beneficiaries its
pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2002, prepared giving
effect to the Transactions (as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement) as if the
Transactions (as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement) had occurred on such
date. Such pro forma consolidated balance sheet (i) has been prepared in good
faith based on the same assumptions used to prepare the pro forma financial
statements included in the Offering Memorandum (which assumptions are believed
by TRW Acquisition to have been reasonable at the time made and to be reasonable
as of the Closing Date), (ii) subject to the assumptions described in such
Offering Memorandum, accurately reflects all adjustments necessary to give
effect to the Transactions and (iii) subject to the assumptions and
qualifications described in the Offering Memorandum, presents fairly, in all
material respects, the pro forma financial position of TRW Acquisition and its
Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2002, as if the Transactions had occurred on
such date.

                                       6

         (g) Since December 31, 2001, there has been no Material Adverse Effect.

         (h) Except as set forth on Schedule I, (i) as of the initial Borrowing
Date, there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity or by or
before any Official Body or in arbitration now pending or, to the actual
knowledge of a Responsible Officer of TRW Acquisition, threatened in writing
against or affecting TRW Acquisition or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their
respective business, property or rights and (ii) as of each other Borrowing Date
and Reporting Date, there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in
equity or by or before any Official Body or in arbitration, or, to the actual
knowledge of a Responsible Officer of TRW Acquisition, threatened in writing
against or affecting TRW Acquisition or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their
respective business, property or rights as to which in either case an adverse
determination is reasonably probable and which could reasonably be expected to
have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

         (i) All information, exhibits, documents, books, records and reports
furnished in writing at any time by or on behalf of TRW Acquisition in
connection with the Transaction Documents is accurate in all material respects
as of its date or (except as otherwise disclosed to the Recipients at such time)
as of the date so furnished. The Offering Memorandum is accurate in all material
respects as of its date and does not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading. All financial statements and other financial data which have
been or shall hereafter be furnished by TRW Acquisition to any Beneficiary
pursuant to Section 7 fairly present, and will fairly present, in all material
respects, the financial condition of TRW Acquisition and its consolidated
subsidiaries as of the dates set forth therein and the results of operations of
TRW Acquisition and its consolidated subsidiaries for the periods ended on such
dates.

         (j) TRW Acquisition is not an "investment company" as defined in, or
subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

         (k) TRW Acquisition and its ERISA Affiliates are in compliance with the
applicable provisions of ERISA and the provisions of the IRC relating to Plans
and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder and any similar
applicable non-U.S. law, except for such noncompliance that could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Reportable Event has occurred
during the past five years as to which TRW Acquisition or any ERISA Affiliate
was required to file a report with the PBGC, other than reports that have been
filed and reports the failure of which to file could not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the Closing Date, the present value of
all benefit liabilities under each Plan of TRW Acquisition and the ERISA
Affiliates (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plan), did not as of
the last annual valuation date applicable thereto for which a valuation is
available, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of
all benefit liabilities of all underfunded Plans (on a termination basis and
based on those assumptions used to fund each such Plan by an amount that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect), as of the last annual
valuation dates applicable thereto for which valuations are available, exceed
the value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans by an amount that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. None of TRW
Acquisition and the ERISA Affiliates has incurred or could reasonably be
expected to

                                       7

incur any Withdrawal Liability that could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. None of TRW Acquisition and the ERISA Affiliates has
received any written notification that any Multiemployer Plan is in
reorganization or has been terminated within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA,
or has knowledge that any Multiemployer Plan is reasonably expected to be in
reorganization or to be terminated, where such reorganization or termination has
had or could reasonably be expected to have, through increases in the
contributions required to be made to such Plan or otherwise, a Material Adverse
Effect.

         (l) Except as set forth on Schedule III, TRW Acquisition has filed or
caused to be filed all material tax returns and has paid or caused to be paid or
made adequate provision for all material taxes due and payable by it and all
material assessments received by it except to the extent that non-payment: (i)
is being contested in good faith; or (ii) could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.

         (m) The direct and indirect benefits to such Performance Guarantor from
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents provide fair
consideration and reasonably equivalent value to such Performance Guarantor for
the obligations it undertakes pursuant to this Guaranty.

         (n) Each Originator is a wholly-owned direct or indirect Subsidiary of
TRW Acquisition.

         (o) Such Performance Guarantor's obligations hereunder rank at least
pari passu with all other unsecured unsubordinated Indebtedness of such
Performance Guarantor.

         Section 7. Covenants. Until the Final Payout Date, TRW Acquisition
will:

         (a) Reporting. Maintain, for itself and each of its Subsidiaries, a
system of accounting established and administered in accordance with GAAP, and
furnish or cause to be furnished to each Recipient and each Funding Agent:

         (i) Annual Reporting. Within 90 days (or such shorter period as the
     Securities and Exchange Commission shall specify for the filing of Annual
     Reports on Form 10-K) after the end of each fiscal year, a consolidated
     balance sheet and related statements of operations, cash flows and owners'
     equity showing the financial position of TRW Acquisition and its
     consolidated Subsidiaries as of the close of such fiscal year and the
     consolidated results of their operations during such year, all audited by
     independent public accountants of recognized national standing reasonably
     acceptable to the Administrative Agent and accompanied by an opinion of
     such accountants (which shall not be qualified in any material respect) to
     the effect that such consolidated financial statements fairly present, in
     all material respects, the financial position and results of operations of
     TRW Acquisition and its consolidated Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis
     in accordance with GAAP (it being understood that the delivery by TRW
     Acquisition of Annual Reports on Form 10-K of TRW Acquisition and its
     consolidated Subsidiaries shall satisfy the requirements of this Section
     7(a)(i) to the extent such Annual Reports include the information specified
     herein; provided that for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, TRW
     Acquisition shall furnish (i) not later than March 31, 2003, an

                                       8

     unaudited combined balance sheet and related unaudited statements of income
     and cash flows as of the close of such fiscal year, all certified by a
     Financial Officer of TRW Acquisition as fairly presenting, in all material
     respects, the financial position and results of operations of TRW
     Automotive Inc. and subsidiaries on a combined basis in accordance with
     GAAP (subject to the absence of footnotes and purchase accounting) and (ii)
     as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, and in no event later
     than May 15, 2003, a combined balance sheet and related statements of
     operations, cash flows and owners' equity showing the financial position of
     the TRW Automotive Inc. and subsidiaries as of the close of such fiscal
     year and the combined results of their operations during such year, all
     audited by independent public accountants of recognized national standing
     reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and accompanied by an
     opinion of such accountants (which shall not be qualified in any material
     respect) to the effect that such combined financial statements fairly
     present, in all material respects, the financial position and results of
     operations of TRW Automotive Inc. and subsidiaries on a combined basis in
     accordance with GAAP.

         (ii) Quarterly Reports. Within 45 days (or such shorter period as the
     SEC shall specify for the filing of Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q) after
     the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year, a
     consolidated balance sheet and related statements of operations and cash
     flows showing the financial position of TRW Acquisition and its
     consolidated Subsidiaries as of the close of such fiscal quarter and the
     consolidated results of their operations during such fiscal quarter and the
     then-elapsed portion of the fiscal year, all certified by a Financial
     Officer of TRW Acquisition, as fairly presenting, in all material respects,
     the financial position and results of operations of TRW Acquisition and its
     Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP (subject to
     year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes and except that
     purchase accounting may be reflected on a preliminary basis in financial
     statements delivered for the fiscal quarters ending in 2003) (it being
     understood that the delivery by TRW Acquisition of (i) Quarterly Reports on
     Form 10-Q of TRW Acquisition and its consolidated subsidiaries shall
     satisfy the requirements of this Section 7(a)(ii) to the extent such
     Quarterly Reports include the information specified herein and (ii) with
     respect to the fiscal quarters ended in 2003, a Registration Statement on
     Form S-4 to the extent that such Registration Statement includes the

     ERISA Affiliates in an aggregate amount in excess of $60,000,000.

         (v) Debt Ratings. Promptly after a Responsible Officer of TRW

     Rating) of TRW Acquisition, setting forth the Indebtedness affected and the

     the filing or commencement of, or any written threat or notice of intention
     of any Person to file or commence, any action, suit or proceeding, whether
     at law or in equity or by or before any Official Body or in arbitration
     against Holdings, Intermediate Holdings or any other Transaction Party or
     any of their Subsidiaries as to which an adverse determination is
     reasonably probable and which could reasonably be expected to have a
     Material Adverse Effect and (B) any other event or condition that is not a
     matter of general public knowledge and that has had, or could reasonably be
     expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

         (viii) Other Information. Such other information respecting the
     condition or operations, financial or otherwise, of TRW Acquisition
     (including, without limitation, information regarding any pending or
     threatened litigation) as any Beneficiary may from time to time reasonably
     request.

         (b) Compliance with Laws, Etc. Comply in all respects with all
applicable Laws and preserve and maintain its corporate existence, rights,
franchises, qualifications and privileges except to the extent that the failure
so to comply with such Laws or the failure so to preserve and maintain such
rights, franchises, qualifications, and privileges would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         Section 8. Subrogation; Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, each Performance Guarantor: (a) hereby waives until
the Final Payout Date all rights of subrogation (whether contractual, under
Section 509 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, at law or in equity or
otherwise) to the claims of any Beneficiary against any

                                       10

Originator and all contractual, statutory or legal or equitable rights of
contribution, reimbursement, indemnification and similar rights and "claims" (as
that term is defined in the United States Bankruptcy Code) which such
Performance Guarantor might now have or hereafter acquire against any Originator
that arise from the existence or performance of such Performance Guarantor's
obligations hereunder, (b) will not claim any setoff, recoupment or counterclaim
in respect of any liability of any Originator to such Performance Guarantor and
(c) waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral
security which may be held by any Beneficiary. The payment of any amounts due
with respect to any indebtedness of any Originator now or hereafter owed to such
Performance Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full of all
of the Obligations. Each Performance Guarantor agrees that, after the occurrence
of any default in the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, such
Performance Guarantor will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect
any such indebtedness of any Originator to such Performance Guarantor until all
of the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full. If,
notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, any Performance Guarantor shall collect,
enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness while any
Obligations are still unperformed or outstanding, such amounts shall be
collected, enforced and received by such Performance Guarantor as trustee for
the Beneficiaries and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on account of the
Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of such Performance
Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty. The provisions of this
Section 8 shall be supplemental to and not in derogation of any rights and
remedies of any Beneficiary under any separate subordination agreement which any
Beneficiary may at any time and from time to time enter into with any
Performance Guarantor.

         Section 9. Termination of Performance Guaranty. The Performance
Guarantors' obligations hereunder shall continue in full force and effect until
all Obligations are indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full and each of the
Originator Purchase Agreements, the European Loan Agreement, the Transfer
Agreement and the Receivables Loan Agreement is terminated, provided, that this
Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may
be, if at any time payment or other satisfaction of any of the Obligations is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the bankruptcy,
insolvency, or reorganization of any Originator or otherwise, as though such
payment had not been made or other satisfaction occurred, whether or not either
Recipient (or its assigns) is in possession of this Guaranty. No invalidity,
irregularity or unenforceability by reason of any bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar Law (whether foreign or domestic), or any Law or order of any
Official Body purporting to reduce, amend or otherwise affect the Obligations
shall impair, affect, be a defense to or claim against the obligations of any
Performance Guarantor under this Guaranty.

         Section 10. Effect of Bankruptcy. This Guaranty shall survive the
bankruptcy or insolvency of any Originator and the commencement of any case or
proceeding by or against any Originator under the federal bankruptcy code or any
other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Law (whether foreign or
domestic). No automatic stay under the federal bankruptcy code with respect to
any Originator or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Law
(whether foreign or domestic) to which any Originator is subject shall postpone
the obligations of any Performance Guarantor under this Guaranty.

                                       11

         Section 11. Setoff. Regardless of the other means of obtaining payment
of any of the Obligations, at any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Termination Event, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time
and from time to time, without notice to a Performance Guarantor (any such
notice being expressly waived by such Performance Guarantor) and to the fullest
extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any deposits and other sums
against the obligations of such Performance Guarantor under this Guaranty,
whether or not such Beneficiary shall have made any demand under this Guaranty
and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured.

         Section 12. Taxes. All payments to be made by any Performance Guarantor
hereunder shall be made free and clear of any deduction or withholding. If any
Performance Guarantor is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on
account of tax or otherwise from any such payment, the sum due from it in
respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure
that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, each Beneficiary
receives a net sum equal to the sum which they would have received had no
deduction or withholding been made. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 12, (i) any Performance Guarantor's obligation to pay any taxes shall
exclude the obligation to pay Excluded Taxes and (ii) each Performance Guarantor
shall have the same rights and obligations of the Borrower under (x) Section
2.15(e) of the Receivables Loan Agreement, provided that such Performance
Guarantor has informed any applicable Beneficiary that such Performance
Guarantor will be making payments to the Beneficiary pursuant to this Guaranty
and that the Beneficiary must provide the documentation specified therein, (y)
Section 2.15(f) of the Receivables Loan Agreement and (z) if such Performance
Guarantor has informed any applicable Beneficiary that such Performance
Guarantor will be making payments to the Beneficiary pursuant to this Guaranty,
Section 2.19 of the Receivables Loan Agreement, with respect to any additional
amounts paid by it pursuant to this Section 12.

         Section 13. Successors and Assigns.

         (a) This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Performance Guarantor, its
successors and permitted assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by each Beneficiary and its successors and assigns. No Performance
Guarantor may assign or transfer any of its obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of the Transferor, the European Purchaser (if then a party
hereto), the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Committed
Lenders. If then a party hereto, the European Purchaser may assign or otherwise
transfer its rights hereunder to the Transferor pursuant to the European Loan
Agreement. The Transferor may assign or otherwise transfer its rights hereunder
to the Borrower pursuant to the Transfer Agreement and the Borrower may assign
or otherwise transfer its rights hereunder to Administrative Agent and the
Lenders pursuant to the Receivables Loan Agreement.

         (b) Each Performance Guarantor acknowledges that the Borrower, pursuant
to the Receivables Loan Agreement, shall assign to the Administrative Agent, for
the benefit of the Secured Parties thereunder, all of its rights, remedies,
powers and privileges hereunder and that each such Secured Party may further
assign such rights, remedies, powers and privileges to the extent permitted in
the Receivables Loan Agreement. Each Performance Guarantor agrees that the
Administrative Agent, as the assignee of the Borrower, shall have the right to
enforce this Performance Guaranty and to exercise directly all of the Borrower's
rights and remedies under

                                       12

this Performance Guaranty (including, without limitation, the right to give or
withhold any consents or approvals of the Borrower to be given or withheld
hereunder, and, in any case, without regard to whether specific reference is
made to the Borrower's assigns in the provisions of this Guaranty which set
forth such rights and remedies) and each Performance Guarantor agrees to
cooperate fully with the Administrative Agent in the exercise of such rights and
remedies. Each Performance Guarantor further agrees to give to the
Administrative Agent copies of all notices it is required to give to the
Borrower hereunder.

         Section 14. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any
provision of this Guaranty nor consent to any departure by any Performance
Guarantor therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and
signed by the Transferor, the European Purchaser (if then a party hereto), the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Required Committed Lenders and the
Performance Guarantors. No failure on the part of any Beneficiary to exercise,
and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right.

         Section 15. Notices. Except as provided below, all communications and
notices provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telecopy or
electronic facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to the
other party at its address or telecopy number specified below or at such other
address or telecopy number as such party may hereafter specify for the purposes
of notice to such party. Each such notice or other communication shall be
effective (a) if given by telecopy, when such telecopy is transmitted to the
telecopy number specified in this Section 15 and confirmation is received, (b)
if given by mail three Business Days following such posting, postage prepaid,
U.S. certified or registered, (c) if given by overnight courier, one Business
Day after deposit thereof with a national overnight courier service, or (d) if
given by any other means, when received at the address specified in this Section
15.

         If to TRW Acquisition, to its address set forth on Schedule II.

         If to any Performance Guarantor (other than TRW Acquisition) to its
notice address set forth in the North American Originator Purchase Agreement or
European Originator Purchase Agreement, as applicable.

         If to a Recipient, to its address set forth on Schedule II.

         Section 16. GOVERNING LAW. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND
INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

         Section 17. Consent to Jurisdiction. Each party hereto hereby
irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or
Federal court sitting in New York City in any action or proceeding arising out
of or relating to this Agreement, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably
agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and
determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in
such Federal court. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest
extent they may

                                       13

effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of
such action or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any
such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
Each of the Sellers and the Buyer consents to the service of any and all process
in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to it
at its address specified in Section 15. Nothing in this Section 17 shall affect
the right of any Seller or the Buyer (or their respective assigns) to serve
legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

         Section 18. Bankruptcy Petition. Each Performance Guarantor hereby
covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after
the Final Payout Date, it will not institute against, or join any other Person
in instituting against, the Transferor, the Borrower or the European Purchaser
any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceedings or other similar proceeding under the Laws of any jurisdiction
(whether foreign or domestic). Each Performance Guarantor further agrees that it
will not institute against any Conduit Lender any proceeding of the type
referred to in the definition of "Event of Bankruptcy" in the Receivables Loan
Agreement so long as any Commercial Paper or other senior indebtedness issued by
such Conduit Lender shall be outstanding or there shall not have elapsed one
year plus one day since the last day on which any such Commercial Paper or other
senior indebtedness shall have been outstanding.

         Section 19. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PERFORMANCE GUARANTOR HEREBY
WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER
SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO ,
OR CONNECTED WITH THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT.

         Section 20. Miscellaneous. This Guaranty constitutes the entire
agreement of the Performance Guarantors with respect to the matters set forth
herein. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive
of any remedies provided by law or any other agreement, and this Guaranty shall
be in addition to any other guaranty of or collateral security for any of the
Obligations. The provisions of this Guaranty are severable, and in any action or
proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or federal
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of
creditors generally, if the obligations of any Performance Guarantor hereunder
would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable
on account of the amount of such Performance Guarantor's liability under this
Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the
contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such
Performance Guarantor or any Beneficiary, be automatically limited and reduced
to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action
or proceeding. Any provisions of this Guaranty 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. Unless otherwise specified, references herein to "Section"
shall mean a reference to sections of this Guaranty.

                                       14

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Performance Guarantor has caused this Guaranty
to be executed and delivered as of the date first above written.

         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.

amended except by an instrument or instruments in writing signed by an
authorized officer of each Party. Except as otherwise provided in this

covenant, agreement or condition herein may be waived by the Party entitled to

                                       8

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
shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or
other failure.

         9.3 Headings. The table of contents and the article, section, paragraph
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
this Agreement.

         9.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

         9.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Master Purchase Agreement and
the other Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement between the
Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede and

         9.6 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF
CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES
OF CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF LAWS OR ANY OTHER LAW THAT WOULD MAKE THE LAWS OF ANY
OTHER JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF DELAWARE APPLICABLE HERETO.

         9.7 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF

         9.8 Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by any Party hereto
without the written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that each
Party may assign this Agreement to a purchaser of substantially all of the
Party's shares or assets or to that Party's parent, controlled subsidiary or
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
nature of a conditional assignment or otherwise, shall not be construed to
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
this Agreement are consummated, each Party shall bear its own fees and expenses
incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

         9.10 Binding Nature; Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their
respective successors and

                                       9

permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to

remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

         9.11 Severability. This Agreement shall be deemed severable; the
invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement shall
not affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or of any other term
hereof, which shall remain in full force and effect, for so long as the economic
or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not
affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. If it is ever held that
any restriction hereunder is too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction
to its fullest extent, each Party agrees that such restriction may be enforced

brought to enforce such restriction.

         9.12 Specific Performance. The Parties hereto agree that irreparable
