         joint venturer,  consultant,  employee,  agent or salesman of any other
         person or entity.

3.       CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

                  (b)  Employee  hereby  sells,  transfers  and  assigns  to the

         his entire right,  title and interest in and to all inventions,  ideas,
         methods, developments, disclosures and improvements (the "Inventions"),
         whether patented or unpatented,  and  copyrightable  material,  and all
         trademarks,  trade names,  all goodwill  associated  therewith  and all
         federal and state registrations or applications thereof,  made, adopted
         or conceived by solely or jointly,  in whole or in part  (collectively,
         the  "Transferred  Property"),  prior to or during the  Agreement  Term
         which (i) relate to methods, apparatus, designs, products, processes or
         devices sold, leased,  used or under construction or development by the
         Company  or  (ii)  otherwise  relate  to or  pertain  to the  business,
         products,  services,  functions or operations of the Company.  Employee
         shall make adequate  written records of all  Inventions,  which records
         shall be the  Company's  property  and shall  communicate  promptly and
         disclose  to the  Company,  in such form as the Company  requests,  all
         information,   details  and  data  pertaining  to  the   aforementioned
         Inventions.  Whether during the Agreement Term or thereafter,  Employee
         shall  execute  and deliver to the Company  such formal  transfers  and
         assignments  and such other papers and  documents as may be required of
         Employee to permit the Company,  or any person or entity  designated by
         the Company, to file and prosecute patent applications (including,  but
         not limited to, patent applications and any other records, memoranda or
         instruments  deemed  necessary by the Company for the  prosecution of a
         patent  application or the  acquisition of letters patent in the United
         States,  foreign  countries  or  otherwise)  and,  as to  copyrightable
         material, to obtain copyrights

                                      -2-

         thereon,  and as to trademarks,  to record the transfer of ownership of
         any federal or state registrations or applications.

                  (c) All such Confidential Information is considered secret and
         will be disclosed to Employee in confidence,  and Employee acknowledges
         that, as a consequence of his employment and position with the Company,
         Employee  may have access to and become  acquainted  with  Confidential
         Information.  Except in the performance of his duties as an employee of
         the Company,  Employee shall not,  during the Agreement Term and at all
         times  thereafter,  directly or indirectly  for any reason  whatsoever,
         disclose or use any such Confidential Information.  All records, files,
         drawings,  documents,  equipment  and other  tangible  items,  wherever
         located, relating in any way to or containing Confidential Information,
         which Employee has prepared, used or encountered or shall in the future
         prepare,  use or encounter,  shall be and remain the Company's sole and
         exclusive   property   and  shall  be  included  in  the   Confidential
         Information.  Upon termination of this Agreement, or whenever requested
         by the Company,  Employee shall promptly deliver to the Company any and
         all of the Confidential  Information and copies thereof, not previously
         delivered to the Company,  that may be in the  possession  or under the
         control of Employee.  The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to the
         use,  divulgence,   disclosure  or  grant  of  access  to  Confidential
         Information  to the  extent,  but  only to the  extent,  (i)  expressly
         permitted or required  pursuant to any other written  agreement between
         Employee and the Company,  (ii) such Confidential  Information has been
         publicly  disclosed (not due to a breach by Employee of his obligations
         hereunder,  or by  breach  of  any  other  person,  of a  fiduciary  or
         confidential  obligation to the Company) or (iii)  Employee is required
         to disclose  Confidential  Information  by or to any court of competent
         jurisdiction  or  any   governmental  or   quasi-governmental   agency,
         authority  or  instrumentality  of  competent  jurisdiction,  provided,
         however, that Employee shall, prior to any such disclosure, immediately
         notify the Company of such requirement and provided  further,  however,
         that the Company  shall have the right,  at its  expense,  to object to
         such disclosures and to seek confidential treatment of any Confidential
         Information to be so disclosed on such terms as it shall determine.

4.       ACKNOWLEDGEMENT; REMEDIES; SURVIVAL OF THIS AGREEMENT.

                  (a)  Employee  acknowledges  that  violation  of  any  of  the
         covenants and provisions  set forth in this  Agreement  would cause the
         Company  irreparable  damage and agrees that the Company's  remedies at
         law for a breach or threatened  breach of any of the provisions of this
         Agreement  would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, in the
         event  of a breach  or  threatened  breach  by  Employee  of any of the
         provisions  of this  Agreement,  it is agreed that,  in addition to the
         remedies at law or in equity,  the Company  shall be entitled,  without
         the  posting of a bond,  to  equitable  relief in the form of  specific
         performance,  a temporary  restraining  order,  temporary  or permanent
         injunction,  or any other equitable  remedy which may then be available
         for the purposes of restraining  Employee from any actual or threatened
         breach  of such  covenants.  Without  limiting  the  generality  of the
         foregoing,  if Employee  breaches or threatens to breach Sections 1, 2,
         or 3 hereof,  such breach or threatened breach will entitle the Company
         to enjoin Employee from disclosing any Confidential  Information to any
         Competing  Business,  to enjoin any

                                      -3-

<PAGE>

         Competing   Business  from   retaining   Employee  or  using  any  such
         Confidential  Information,  to enjoin  Employee  from  engaging  in any
         activities  prohibited  by Section 2 hereof  and/or to enjoin  Employee
         from rendering personal services to or in connection with any Competing
         Business.  The rights and remedies of the parties hereto are cumulative
         and shall not be  exclusive,  and each such party  shall be entitled to
         pursue  all legal  and  equitable  rights  and  remedies  and to secure
         performance  of the  obligations  and  duties of the other  under  this
         Agreement,  and the  enforcement  of one or more  of  such  rights  and
         remedies by a party shall in no way preclude such party from  pursuing,
         at the same time or subsequently, any and all other rights and remedies
         available to it.

                  (b)  The  provisions  of  this  Agreement  shall  survive  the
         termination of Employee's employment with Diamond.

5.       NOTICES.

                  Any notice, request, consent or approval required or permitted
         to be given under this Agreement or pursuant to law shall be sufficient
         if in writing,  and if and when sent by certified or  registered  mail,
         return  receipt  requested,  with postage  prepaid,  or by a nationally
         recognized  overnight  courier  service  to  Employee's  residence  (as
         reflected  in the  Company's  records  or as  otherwise  designated  by
         Employee on thirty (30) days' prior  written  notice to the Company) or
         to the Company's principal executive office, attention: President (with
         copies to the General  Counsel),  as the case may be. All such notices,
         requests,   consents  and  approvals  shall  be  effective  upon  being
         deposited in the United States mail or upon delivery to such  overnight
         courier service. Rejection or other refusal to accept, or the inability
         to deliver  because of changed  address of which no notice was given as
         provided herein, shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice,  request,
         consent or approval sent.

6. NON-WAIVER.

                  Neither  any course of dealing  nor any  failure or neglect of
         either party  hereto in any  instance to exercise  any right,  power or
         privilege hereunder or under law shall constitute a waiver of any other
         right,  power or privilege or of the same right,  power or privilege in
         any  other  instance.  All  waivers  by  either  party  hereto  must be
         contained  in a written  instrument  signed by the party to be  charged
         and, in the case of the Company, by its duly authorized officer.

7.       ASSIGNMENT.

                  This   Agreement   shall  inure  to  the  benefit  of  and  be
         enforceable  by, and may be assigned by the Company to, any existing or
         future subsidiary or affiliate of the Company,  any purchaser of all or
         substantially all of the Company's business or assets, any successor to
         the Company or any assignee  thereof  (whether  direct or indirect,  by
         purchase, merger,  consolidation or otherwise).  This Agreement may not
         be assigned by Employee.

8.       ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

                  This Agreement together with the Employment  Agreement entered
         into between  Employee and the Company,  the Stock Purchase  Agreement,
         and the  agreements  entered into in connection  therewith  contain the
         entire  agreement of the parties  relating to the subject matter hereof
         and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between them.

9.       SEVERABILITY; REASONABLENESS OF AGREEMENT.

                  If any term,  provision or covenant of this  Agreement or part
         thereof,   or  the  application   thereof  to  any  person,   place  or
         circumstance  shall be held to be invalid,  unenforceable  or void by a
         court of competent  jurisdiction,  the remainder of this  Agreement and
         such term, provision or covenant shall remain in full force and effect,
         and any such invalid, unenforceable or void term, provision or covenant
         shall be  deemed,  without  further  action on the part of the  parties
         hereto,  modified,  amended and  limited,  and the court shall have the
         power to modify,  amend and limit any such term, provision or covenant,
         to the extent  necessary  to render the same and the  remainder of this
         Agreement  valid,  enforceable  and lawful.  In this  regard,  Employee
         understands  that the  provisions  of Sections 1, 2, 3, and 4 may limit
         his ability to earn a  livelihood  in a business  similar or related to
         the business of the Company,  but nevertheless  agrees and acknowledges
         that (i) the provisions of Sections 1, 2, 3 and 4 hereof are reasonable
         and  necessary for the  protection of the Company,  and do not impose a
         greater  restraint  than is  necessary to protect the goodwill or other
         business  interests  of  the  Company;  (ii)  such  provisions  contain
         reasonable  limitations  as to the time and the scope of activity to be
         restrained;  and  (iii)  the  consideration  provided  under  the Stock
         Purchase  Agreement  is  sufficient  to  compensate  Employee  for  the
         restrictions   contained  in  Sections  1,  2,  3  and  4  hereof.   In
         consideration  of the foregoing  and in light of Employee's  education,
         skills and abilities,  Employee agrees that all defenses by Employee to
         the  strict  enforcement  of  such  provisions  are  hereby  waived  by
         Employee.

         for  convenience  only and are intended to have no effect in construing

                            NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT

                  THIS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), made this 31st day of March,
1998, by and between  Richard  Rutta,  an individual  presently  residing at 626
Taylor Avenue, Scranton, PA 18510 ("Employee"),  and Diamond Triumph Auto Glass,
Inc., a Delaware  corporation  ("Diamond").  As used herein,  the term "Company"
shall refer, individually and/or collectively, as applicable, to Diamond and its
existing and future subsidiaries.

                  Green Equity  Investors II, L.P. (the  "Purchaser")  would not
consummate  the  transactions  contemplated  by the Second  Amended and Restated
Stock  Purchase  Agreement  dated as of January 15,  1998 (the  "Stock  Purchase
Agreement") by and among the Purchaser,  the Company,  Kenneth  Levine,  Richard
Rutta and the other parties listed therein unless Employee delivers and complies
with all of the terms of this Agreement;

                  NOW, THEREFORE,  in order to induce Employee to consummate the
transactions  contemplated by the Stock Purchase  Agreement,  and in recognition
and  acknowledgement  of the  Company's  need to protect its  goodwill and other
business  interests  and for other good and valuable  consideration  received by
Employee,  the  parties  hereto,  each  intending  to be legally  bound,  hereby
mutually covenant and agree as follows:

1.       NON-COMPETITION.

                  For  a  period  of  five  years  from  the  date  hereof  (the
         "Agreement  Term"),  Employee shall not,  directly or indirectly,  own,
         manage, operate, join, control,  participate in, invest in or otherwise
         be connected or  associated  with,  in any manner,  including,  without
         limitation, as an officer, director, employee, distributor, independent
         contractor,  independent representative,  partner, consultant, advisor,
         agent, proprietor,  trustee or investor, any Competing Business located
         in any  state or region  (including  foreign  jurisdictions)  where the
         Company conducts business or is considering  doing business;  provided,
         however,  that ownership of 1% or less of the stock or other securities
         of a corporation, the stock of which is listed on a national securities
         exchange or is quoted on The Nasdaq  Stock  Market's  National  Market,
         shall not  constitute  a breach of this  Section 1, so long as Employee
         does not in fact have the power to  control,  or direct the  management

         his entire right,  title and interest in and to all inventions,  ideas,
         methods, developments, disclosures and improvements (the "Inventions"),
         whether patented or unpatented,  and  copyrightable  material,  and all
         trademarks,  trade names,  all goodwill  associated  therewith  and all
         federal and state registrations or applications thereof,  made, adopted
         or conceived by solely or jointly,  in whole or in part  (collectively,
         the  "Transferred  Property"),  prior to or during the  Agreement  Term
         which (i) relate to methods, apparatus, designs, products, processes or
         devices sold, leased,  used or under construction or development by the
         Company  or  (ii)  otherwise  relate  to or  pertain  to the  business,
         products,  services,  functions or operations of the Company.  Employee
         shall make adequate  written records of all  Inventions,  which records
         shall be the  Company's  property  and shall  communicate  promptly and
         disclose  to the  Company,  in such form as the Company  requests,  all
         information,   details  and  data  pertaining  to  the   aforementioned
         Inventions.  Whether during the Agreement Term or thereafter,  Employee
         shall  execute  and deliver to the Company  such formal  transfers  and
         assignments  and such other papers and  documents as may be required of
         Employee to permit the Company,  or any person or entity  designated by

         not limited to, patent applications and any other records, memoranda or
         instruments  deemed  necessary by the Company for the  prosecution of a
         patent  application or the  acquisition of letters patent in the United
         States,  foreign  countries  or  otherwise)  and,  as to  copyrightable
         material, to obtain copyrights

                                      -2-

         thereon,  and as to trademarks,  to record the transfer of ownership of
         any federal or state registrations or applications.

                  (c) All such Confidential Information is considered secret and
         will be disclosed to Employee in confidence,  and Employee acknowledges
         that, as a consequence of his employment and position with the Company,
         Employee  may have access to and become  acquainted  with  Confidential
         Information.  Except in the performance of his duties as an employee of
         the Company,  Employee shall not,  during the Agreement Term and at all
         times  thereafter,  directly or indirectly  for any reason  whatsoever,
         disclose or use any such Confidential Information.  All records, files,
         drawings,  documents,  equipment  and other  tangible  items,  wherever
         located, relating in any way to or containing Confidential Information,
         which Employee has prepared, used or encountered or shall in the future
         prepare,  use or encounter,  shall be and remain the Company's sole and
         exclusive   property   and  shall  be  included  in  the   Confidential
         Information.  Upon termination of this Agreement, or whenever requested
         by the Company,  Employee shall promptly deliver to the Company any and
         all of the Confidential  Information and copies thereof, not previously
         delivered to the Company,  that may be in the  possession  or under the
         control of Employee.  The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to the
         use,  divulgence,   disclosure  or  grant  of  access  to  Confidential
         Information  to the  extent,  but  only to the  extent,  (i)  expressly
         permitted or required  pursuant to any other written  agreement between
         Employee and the Company,  (ii) such Confidential  Information has been
         publicly  disclosed (not due to a breach by Employee of his obligations
         hereunder,  or by  breach  of  any  other  person,  of a  fiduciary  or
         confidential  obligation to the Company) or (iii)  Employee is required
         to disclose  Confidential  Information  by or to any court of competent
         jurisdiction  or  any   governmental  or   quasi-governmental   agency,
         authority  or  instrumentality  of  competent  jurisdiction,  provided,
         however, that Employee shall, prior to any such disclosure, immediately
         notify the Company of such requirement and provided  further,  however,
         that the Company  shall have the right,  at its  expense,  to object to
         such disclosures and to seek confidential treatment of any Confidential
         Information to be so disclosed on such terms as it shall determine.

4.       ACKNOWLEDGEMENT; REMEDIES; SURVIVAL OF THIS AGREEMENT.

                  (a)  Employee  acknowledges  that  violation  of  any  of  the
         covenants and provisions  set forth in this  Agreement  would cause the
         Company  irreparable  damage and agrees that the Company's  remedies at
         law for a breach or threatened  breach of any of the provisions of this
         Agreement  would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, in the
         event  of a breach  or  threatened  breach  by  Employee  of any of the
         provisions  of this  Agreement,  it is agreed that,  in addition to the
         remedies at law or in equity,  the Company  shall be entitled,  without
         the  posting of a bond,  to  equitable  relief in the form of  specific
         performance,  a temporary  restraining  order,  temporary  or permanent
         injunction,  or any other equitable  remedy which may then be available
         for the purposes of restraining  Employee from any actual or threatened
         breach  of such  covenants.  Without  limiting  the  generality  of the
         foregoing,  if Employee  breaches or threatens to breach Sections 1, 2,
         or 3 hereof,  such breach or threatened breach will entitle the Company
         to enjoin Employee from disclosing any Confidential  Information to any
         Competing  Business,  to enjoin any

                                      -3-

<PAGE>

         Competing   Business  from   retaining   Employee  or  using  any  such
         Confidential  Information,  to enjoin  Employee  from  engaging  in any
         activities  prohibited  by Section 2 hereof  and/or to enjoin  Employee
         from rendering personal services to or in connection with any Competing
         Business.  The rights and remedies of the parties hereto are cumulative
         and shall not be  exclusive,  and each such party  shall be entitled to
         pursue  all legal  and  equitable  rights  and  remedies  and to secure
         performance  of the  obligations  and  duties of the other  under  this
         Agreement,  and the  enforcement  of one or more  of  such  rights  and
         remedies by a party shall in no way preclude such party from  pursuing,
         at the same time or subsequently, any and all other rights and remedies
         available to it.

                  (b)  The  provisions  of  this  Agreement  shall  survive  the
         termination of Employee's employment with Diamond.

5.       NOTICES.

                  Any notice, request, consent or approval required or permitted
         to be given under this Agreement or pursuant to law shall be sufficient
         if in writing,  and if and when sent by certified or  registered  mail,
         return  receipt  requested,  with postage  prepaid,  or by a nationally
         recognized  overnight  courier  service  to  Employee's  residence  (as
         reflected  in the  Company's  records  or as  otherwise  designated  by
         Employee on thirty (30) days' prior  written  notice to the Company) or
         to the Company's principal executive office, attention: President (with
         copies to the General  Counsel),  as the case may be. All such notices,
         requests,   consents  and  approvals  shall  be  effective  upon  being
         deposited in the United States mail or upon delivery to such  overnight
         courier service. Rejection or other refusal to accept, or the inability
         to deliver  because of changed  address of which no notice was given as
         provided herein, shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice,  request,
         consent or approval sent.

6. NON-WAIVER.

                  Neither  any course of dealing  nor any  failure or neglect of
         either party  hereto in any  instance to exercise  any right,  power or
         privilege hereunder or under law shall constitute a waiver of any other
         right,  power or privilege or of the same right,  power or privilege in
         any  other  instance.  All  waivers  by  either  party  hereto  must be
         contained  in a written  instrument  signed by the party to be  charged
         and, in the case of the Company, by its duly authorized officer.

7.       ASSIGNMENT.

                  This   Agreement   shall  inure  to  the  benefit  of  and  be
         enforceable  by, and may be assigned by the Company to, any existing or
         future subsidiary or affiliate of the Company,  any purchaser of all or
         substantially all of the Company's business or assets, any successor to
         the Company or any assignee  thereof  (whether  direct or indirect,  by
         purchase, merger,  consolidation or otherwise).  This Agreement may not
         be assigned by Employee.

8.       ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

                  This Agreement together with the Employment  Agreement entered
         into between  Employee and the Company,  the Stock Purchase  Agreement,
         and the  agreements  entered into in connection  therewith  contain the
         entire  agreement of the parties  relating to the subject matter hereof
         and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between them.

9.       SEVERABILITY; REASONABLENESS OF AGREEMENT.

                  If any term,  provision or covenant of this  Agreement or part
         thereof,   or  the  application   thereof  to  any  person,   place  or
         circumstance  shall be held to be invalid,  unenforceable  or void by a
         court of competent  jurisdiction,  the remainder of this  Agreement and
         such term, provision or covenant shall remain in full force and effect,
         and any such invalid, unenforceable or void term, provision or covenant
         shall be  deemed,  without  further  action on the part of the  parties
         hereto,  modified,  amended and  limited,  and the court shall have the
         power to modify,  amend and limit any such term, provision or covenant,
         to the extent  necessary  to render the same and the  remainder of this
         Agreement  valid,  enforceable  and lawful.  In this  regard,  Employee
         understands  that the  provisions  of Sections 1, 2, 3, and 4 may limit
         his ability to earn a  livelihood  in a business  similar or related to
         the business of the Company,  but nevertheless  agrees and acknowledges
         that (i) the provisions of Sections 1, 2, 3 and 4 hereof are reasonable
         and  necessary for the  protection of the Company,  and do not impose a
         greater  restraint  than is  necessary to protect the goodwill or other
         business  interests  of  the  Company;  (ii)  such  provisions  contain
         reasonable  limitations  as to the time and the scope of activity to be
         restrained;  and  (iii)  the  consideration  provided  under  the Stock
         Purchase  Agreement  is  sufficient  to  compensate  Employee  for  the
         restrictions   contained  in  Sections  1,  2,  3  and  4  hereof.   In
         consideration  of the foregoing  and in light of Employee's  education,
         skills and abilities,  Employee agrees that all defenses by Employee to
         the  strict  enforcement  of  such  provisions  are  hereby  waived  by
         Employee.
