                                    AGREEMENT

         This Agreement dated as of April 4, 2003 (the "Agreement"), among
Lexington Precision Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "LPC"), Lexington
Rubber Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation formerly known as Lexington
Components, Inc. ("LRG"; LPC and LRG are referred to individually as "Borrower"
and collectively as the "Borrowers"), and Bank One, NA (formerly known as Bank
One, Akron, NA) ("Lender").

         WHEREAS, Lender and each of the Borrowers have entered into a certain
Credit Facility and Security Agreement dated as of January 31, 1997, including
Rider A thereto, as amended, modified, and supplemented, and certain mortgages,
security agreements, deeds of trust and other documents, instruments, and

herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy

         1.       Waiver. Subject to paragraph 2 hereof, the Lender hereby

referred to in clauses (a) and (b) is referred to herein as the "Other
Indebtedness").

         2.       Rescission of Waivers. The foregoing waivers shall be
automatically rescinded, without notice to LPC or LRG, in the event that the
holder of any Other Indebtedness or trustee in respect thereof seeks to
accelerate the maturity of any such Other Indebtedness or to enforce or exercise
any remedies in respect of the maturities thereof.

         3.       Effective Date.

                  This Agreement shall be deemed effective as of April 4, 2003.

the enforceability of creditors' rights generally or by general equitable
principles.

                              ASSIGNMENT OF CLAIM

(c) except for the consent of certain of Assignor's lenders as evidenced in
"Exhibit D" (the "Lender's Consent"), and a filing of a Bankruptcy Rule 3001(e)

action is required as a condition to, or otherwise in connection with, the
execution, delivery and performance of this Assignment of Claim agreement (this
"Agreement") by Assignor; (d) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed

by any third party on behalf of Assignor, in full or partial satisfaction of, or
in connection with the Claim; (g) no portion of the Claim has been sold,

hereby selling to Assignee good and sole legal and beneficial title to the Claim
free and clear of any and all liens, security interests, encumbrances or claims

violate or require registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;
(q) except as waived or released by the Lender's Consent no creditors of
Assignor shall have an interest of any kind to the Claim nor shall any such
creditors file proofs of claim asserting such interest; and (r) the Assignor is
as the record holder of the Claim.

     4.   (a) Assignor is aware that the consideration being paid by Assignee
hereunder may differ both in kind and amount from the amount ultimately
distributed with respect to the Claim pursuant to any plan of reorganization
which is confirmed for the Debtor, any liquidation or any other distribution in
the case. Assignor further represents, warrants and covenants that it has
adequate information concerning the financial condition of the Debtor and the
Case to make an informed decision regarding the sale or the Claim and that it
has independently and without reliance on Assignee, and based on such
information as Assignor has deemed appropriate, made its own decision to enter
into this Agreement. Assignor is aware that information which may be pertinent
to Assignor's decision to transfer the Claim is available to Assignor and may be
obtained from the Bankruptcy Court's files. Assignor acknowledges and confirms
that (i) Assignee may now possess and/or may hereafter come into possession of
certain non-public information concerning the Claim and/or the Debtor that is
not known to Assignor and that may be material to a decision to sell the Claim,
(ii) Assignor has not requested to receive such information and has determined
to sell the Claim notwithstanding its lack of knowledge thereof, and (iii)
Assignee shall have no liability to Assignor with respect to the non-disclosure
of such information and Assignor hereby waives and releases any claims it may
have against Assignee or any other person, whether pursuant to applicable
securities laws or otherwise, with respect to such information. Assignor further
represents, warrants and covenants that it is not and has not been an "insider"
(as defined in Section 101 (31) of the Bankruptcy Code) of the Debtor or a
member of any official or unofficial committee in respect of the Case.

          (b) Assignee is aware that the consideration being paid by Assignee
hereunder may differ both in kind and amount from the amount ultimately
distributed with respect to the Claim pursuant to any plan of reorganization
which is confirmed for the Debtor, any liquidation or any other distribution in
the case. Assignee further represents, warrants and covenants that it has
adequate information concerning the financial condition of the Debtor and the
Case to make an informed decision regarding the sale of the Claim and that it
has independently and without reliance on Assignor, and based on such
information as Assignee has deemed appropriate, made its own decision to enter
into this Agreement. Assignee is aware that information which may be pertinent
to Assignee's decision to assume the Claim is available to Assignee and may be
obtained from the Bankruptcy Court's files. Assignee acknowledges and confirms
that (i) Assignor may now possess and/or may hereafter come into possession of
certain non-public information concerning the Claim and/or the Debtor that is
not known to Assignee and that may be material to a decision to buy the Claim,
(ii) Assignee has not requested to receive such information and has determined
to sell the Claim notwithstanding its lack of knowledge thereof, and (iii)
Assignor shall have no liability to Assignee with respect to the non-disclosure
of such information and Assignee hereby waives and releases any

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

claims it may have against Assignor or any other person, whether pursuant to
applicable securities laws or otherwise, with respect to such information.
Assignee further represents, warrants and covenants that it is not and has not
been an "insider" (as defined in Section 101 (31) of the Bankruptcy Code) of the
Debtor or a member of any official or unofficial committee in respect of the
Case.

     5.     (a) If a final order is entered in the Bankruptcy Court (i)
disallowing the claim, or if all or any part of the Claim is avoided,
disallowed, subordinated, subject to setoff or offset, objected to, reduced, or
otherwise impaired in whole or in part in the Case for any reason whatsoever, or
(ii) disapproving the transfer of the Claim or any portion thereof, or if the
Bankruptcy Court does not substitute Assignee for Assignor, Assignor agrees to
immediately repay, upon demand of Assignee, the consideration paid by Assignee
hereunder, plus, interest thereon at the interest rate of seven percent (7%) per
annum from the date hereof to the date of such repayment by Assignor to
Assignee.

            (b) In the event the Claim is allowed by a Final Order or a
distribution or payment is made by the Debtors in an amount that is greater than
the Claim Amount, Buyer shall pay to Seller within five (5) business days of
Buyer's receipt of a copy of such Final Order or other written proof to Buyer's
reasonable satisfaction, an amount equal to (i) the amount so allowed, permitted
or paid in excess of the Claim Amount up to the Proof of Claim Amount (the
"Excess Claim"), multiplied by (ii) the purchase rate specified in the Purchase
Rate Letter and identified on Schedule I. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer
shall only purchase an Excess Claim in an amount up to a maximum of the
difference between the Claim Amount and the Proof of Claim Amount (less the
Retained Interest). Buyer's obligation to purchase any Excess Claim shall expire
six (6) months after the consummation of any plan of reorganization by the
Bankruptcy Court.

     6.     (a) Assignor agrees that if Assignor receives any payments or
distributions or notices with respect to or relating to the Claim after the date
hereof, Assignor shall accept the same as Assignee's agent and shall hold the
same in trust on behalf of and for the sole benefit of Assignee, and shall
promptly deliver the same to Assignee in the same form received (free of any
withholding, set-off, claim or deduction of any kind), within two (2) business
days in the case of cash and/or notices and within five (5) business days in the
case of securities, which are in good deliverable form, with the endorsement of
Assignor when necessary or appropriate. If Assignor fails to deliver the cash
distribution to Assignee within two (2) business days of Assignor's receipt,
Assignor shall be obligated to pay Assignee interest on the cash distribution at
the interest rate of seven percent (7%) per annum, from the date of Assignor's
receipt of such distribution to the date of Assignee's receipt of payment of
such distribution.

            (b) Assignee agrees that if Assignee receives any payments or
distributions or notices with respect to the Retained Interest, Assignee shall
accept the same as Assignor's agent and shall hold the same in trust on behalf
of and for the sole benefit of Assignor, and shall promptly deliver the same to
Assignor in the same form received (free of any withholding, set-off, claim or
deduction of any kind), within two (2) business days in the case of cash
and/or notices and within (5) business days in the

                                     - 4 -

<PAGE>
case of securities, which are in good deliverable form, with the endorsement of
Assignee when necessary or appropriate. If Assignee fails to deliver the cash
distribution to Assignor within two (2) business days of Assignee's receipt,
Assignee shall be obligated to pay Assignor interest on the cash distribution
at the rate of seven percent (7%) per annum, from the date of Assignee's
receipt of such distribution to the date of Assignor's receipt of payment of
such distribution.

     7.   (a) Assignor agrees to indemnify Assignee from all losses, damages and
liabilities, including attorneys' fees and expenses, which result (a) from
Assignor's breach of any representation, warranty, indemnity, agreement or
covenant set forth herein, (b) from any action, proceeding, objection or
investigation relating to any attempt or threatened attempt to avoid, disallow,
reduce, subordinate or otherwise impair the Claim or otherwise delay any
payments or distributions in respect of the Claim, or (c) from any diminution or
unfavorable treatment of the Claim resulting from payments or property received
or applied with respect to the Claim by Assignor from or on account of the
Debtor. Assignee does not assume and shall not be responsible for any
obligations or liabilities of Assignor related to, or in connection with, the
Claim or the Case. In the event Assignor has sold or assigned the Claim or any
portion thereof to any other person or entity, Assignor shall, immediately upon
demand by Assignee, pay Assignee liquidated damages in an amount equal to twice
the sum of the purchase price paid hereunder and Assignee's costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) relating to this
Agreement or the Claim.

          (b) Assignee agrees to indemnify Assignor from all losses, damages and
liabilities including attorneys' fees and expenses, which result from Assignee's
breach of any representation, warranty, indemnity, agreement or covenant set
forth herein.

     8.   (a) Assignor hereby irrevocably appoints Assignee with full power of
substitution as its true and lawful attorney and authorizes Assignee to act in
Assignor's name, place and stead, to demand, sue for, compromise and recover all
such sums of money which now are, or may hereafter become due and payable for,
or on account of the Claim herein assigned. Assignor grants to Assignee full
authority to do all things necessary to enforce the Claim or any portion thereof
and the Assignor's rights thereunder or related thereto pursuant to this
Agreement; (b) Assignor agrees that the powers granted by this Section are
discretionary in nature and exercisable at the sole option of Assignee; and (c)
Assignee shall have no obligation to take any action to prove, defend, demand or
take any action with respect to the Claim or otherwise in the Case. Assignor
agrees that it shall take no action whatsoever in respect of or in connection
with the Claim or any portion thereof without Assignee's express consent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence no such consent shall be required for
actions by Assignor in connection with the Retained Interest. Assignor agrees to
execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further certificates, instruments and
other documents, and to take all such further action as may be necessary or
appropriate to effect assignment of the Claim and all interests therein to
Assignee, to cooperate with and assist Assignee in enforcing the Claim and to
otherwise effectuate the intent of this Agreement.

contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and

assigns. Assignor agrees that Assignee may sell, transfer or assign the Claim

Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law
