                             Preliminary Statement

         Aquis and Alert have entered into a Asset Purchase Agreement dated as

         The Escrow Trustee Agrees to hold the Payments received by it in escrow
upon the following terms and conditions:

                                   Agreement

         1. Alert shall deposit the Downpayment with the Escrow Trustee
simultaneous with or not later than two (2) business days after the date of
this Agreement. In the event of a Closing of the sale between Aquis and Alert
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Alert shall deposit the Remaining Payment
with the Escrow Trustee simultaneous with the Closing as defined in the Purchase
Agreement

         2. The Escrow Trustee will invest the Payments, when received, in such
interest-bearing investments as the Escrow Trustee reasonably believes are
advisable, or in investments in which Aquis and Alert both notify the Escrow
Trustee to invest.

         3. The Payment shall be delivered by the Escrow Trustee in accordance
with this Escrow Agreement only upon the receipt of a notice from both Aquis and
Alert providing an instruction to deliver the Payments, or in obedience to the
court order described below, or upon the notice of Alert alone in the event of
an event described in Section 7, below.

         4. Upon written notification to the Escrow Trustee by Alert and Aquis

         5. Upon written notification to the Escrow Trustee by Alert and Aquis
that, following the Closing under the Purchase Agreement, there has been final
approval by the FCC of the transfer of the FCC Licenses as required under the
Purchase Agreement, the Escrow Trustee will remit the Payments to Aquis, subject
to the provisions of Section 8 below.

         6. Upon written notification to the Escrow Trustee by Alert and Aquis
that, following the Closing under the Purchase Agreement, there has not been and
will not be final approval by the FCC of the transfer of the FCC Licenses as
required under the Purchase Agreement, the Trustee will remit the Payments to
Alert, subject to the provisions of Section 8 below.

         7. In the event of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar action
involving Aquis which results in a termination of the Asset Purchase Agreement
prior to the date the Payments are distributed, then upon written notification
to the Escrow Trustee by Alert of such event that the Asset Purchase Agreement
has been terminated, submitted together with proof of the bankruptcy (or
similar) filing involving Aquis and the termination of the Asset Purchase
Agreement, the Escrow Trustee will remit all Payments in its possession to
Alert.

         8. In connection with the written notifications by Aquis and Alert
under Sections 4, 5 or 6 above, if either Aquis or Alert believes it is
entitled to any setoff or indemnification under either the Purchase Agreement or
the Management Agreement, the notice shall set forth such amount and the Escrow
Trustee will retain such disputed amount, together with an additional 10%
thereof for possible expenses, and shall remit the remainder to the party in
accordance with the applicable exception. If Aquis and Alert agree upon the
setoff or indemnification, the written notification shall so state and the
Escrow Trustee will pay the party entitled thereto in accordance with the
written notification. If the parties do not agree, they will settle the disputed
amount between themselves in accordance with the Purchase Agreement and/or the
Management Agreement and will notify the Escrow Trustee at such time as the
dispute is settled, and the Escrow Trustee will distribute the remaining
Payments in accordance with the mutual instructions at that time, and the
interest earned thereon will be distributed pro-rata along with the distribution
of the Payments.

         9. The obligations and duties of the Escrow Trustee are confined to
those specifically enumerated in this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Trustee shall
not be subject to, nor be under any obligation to ascertain or construe the
terms and conditions of any other instrument, including but not limited to the
Purchase Agreement and the Management Agreement, whether or not now or
hereafter deposited with or delivered to the Escrow Trustee or referred to in
this Escrow Agreement, nor shall the Escrow Trustee he obliged to inquire as to
the form, execution, sufficiency, or validity of any such instrument nor to
inquire as to the identity, authority, or rights of the person or persons
executing or delivering the same.

         10. If the Escrow Trustee should receive or become aware of any court
order with respect to conflicting demands or claims with respect to the rights
of any of the parties hereto, or with respect to, or instruments deposited
herein or affected hereby, the Escrow Trustee shall have the right in its, sole
discretion, without liability for interest or damages, to discontinue any or all
further acts on its part until such conflict reflected in such court order is
resolved to its satisfaction and/or to commence or defend any action or
proceeding for the determination of such conflict.

                           THIRD FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT

      THIS THIRD FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT (the "Third Forbearance Agreement"),
expiring on September 14, 2001, is entered into by and among STANDARD AUTOMOTIVE
CORPORATION ("SAC"), ARELL MACHINING LTD. ("ARELL"), formerly known as CRITICAL
COMPONENTS CANADA LTD. (SAC and Arell each a "Borrower" and collectively, the
"Borrowers"), PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ("PNC"), ING (U.S.) CAPITAL LLC
("ING"), FLEET NATIONAL BANK, as successor to SUMMIT BANK, SOVEREIGN BANK, THE
BANK OF NEW YORK, KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, OCEANFIRST BANK, and FIRSTAR
BANK, N.A. (each a "Bank" and collectively the "Banks"), PNC as Administrative
Agent (PNC in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent"), ING as Syndication
Agent (ING in such capacity the "Syndication Agent"), and PNC CAPITAL MARKETS,
INC. and ING BARINGS LLC as Joint Arrangers.

                                   BACKGROUND

      Borrowers, Banks, and Administrative Agent are parties to an Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 25, 2000, between and among the
Borrowers, Banks, and Administrative Agent (as amended, supplemented, or
otherwise modified from time to time, the "Agreement") pursuant to which
Administrative Agent and Banks provide Borrowers with certain financial
accommodations.

      There are various Events of Default now existing under the Agreement as
described in a series of default letters dated December 19, 2000, January 23,
2001, February 8, 2001, February 14, 2001, and in the acceleration letter dated
July 27, 2001, sent by Administrative Agent to Borrowers. Borrowers also have
failed to make the principal and interest payments that were due to Banks on
March 31, and June 30, 2001, which are additional Events of Default. Other
Events of Default may exist. (Collectively, these Events of Default are the
"Designated Defaults.") The forbearance periods under the Forbearance Agreement
dated April 2, 2001, and the Second Forbearance Agreement effective May 21, 2001
(collectively, the "Previous Forbearance Agreements") have expired. By reason of
the Designated Defaults, and by way of the acceleration letter dated July 27,
2001, Administrative Agent and Banks terminated the Commitments and declared the
Loans, Notes, and other amounts owed under the Agreement to be due and payable
immediately.

      Borrowers requested that Administrative Agent and Banks withdraw the
acceleration letter, and forbear for a period of time from again accelerating
the Indebtedness and from exercising their rights and remedies under the Loan
Documents, or otherwise. Pursuant to the letter dated August 9, 2001,
Administrative Agent and Banks withdrew the July 27th acceleration letter
subject to the terms of the August 9th letter, which was executed by the
Borrowers. The parties have now agreed to enter into this Third Forbearance
Agreement.

<PAGE>

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of any loan or advance or grant of credit
heretofore made to or for the account of either Borrower and in consideration of
the forbearance by Administrative Agent and Banks, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

           1. Definitions. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein
shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement.

           2. Acknowledgement. Borrowers acknowledge that the Designated
Defaults, among other Events of Default, have occurred and exist as of the date
hereof, and that each Borrower is unconditionally obligated to pay all of the
Loans, all without defense, setoff, or counterclaim of any kind or nature
whatsoever.

           3. Outstanding Loans and obligations under the Loan Documents. Each
Borrower affirms and acknowledges that (i) as of August 10, 2001, there was due
and owing to Administrative Agent and Banks, under the Agreement, the principal
amount of Loans as set forth on Exhibit A to this Agreement, together with
accrued interest thereon and costs and expenses; (ii) all such Loans and other
obligations of Borrowers under the Loan Documents are valid obligations of
Borrowers, and there are no claims, setoffs, or defenses to the payment by any
Borrower of the Loans or any of the other obligations of the Borrowers under the
Loan Documents; and (iii) the Agreement and the other Loan Documents are and
shall continue to be legal, valid, and binding obligations and agreements of
Borrowers enforceable in accordance with their terms.

           4. Forbearance. Subject to the provisions of ss. 7 below, during the
period commencing as the date of the execution of this Third Forbearance
Agreement, and ending on the earlier to occur of (i) September 14, 2001, or (ii)
the date of any Forbearance Default as defined in ss. 6 hereof (the "Forbearance
Period"), Administrative Agent and Banks will forbear from exercising their
rights and remedies under the Loan Documents with respect to the Designated
Defaults.

           5. Additional Agreements. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Third Forbearance Agreement, and as consideration for Administrative Agent and
Banks entering into this Third Forbearance Agreement:

           (a) Each Borrower acknowledges its continuing obligation under
ss. 12.5 of the Agreement and under the various Loan Documents and guarantees to
pay or to reimburse Administrative Agent and Banks for the expenses of any
professionals and consultants engaged by the Administrative Agent or Banks,
including but not limited to the expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and
Banks for the professionals and consultants listed on Exhibit B.

           (b) Borrowers affirm their agreement under the Previous Forbearance
Agreements that interest has been and is accruing on the unpaid balances under

the holders of the Ranor Notes or any notes issued in connection with the Arell
Acquisition or the Airborne Acquisition. Each Borrower further agrees that
without the written consent of the Banks it will not make any payments pursuant
to ss. 3.5(b) of the Arell Stock Purchase Agreement dated March 3, 2000, with
the Collateral or with the proceeds of Collateral. Each Borrower represents and
warrants that since at least December 19, 2000, no dividends or distributions of
any kind to the holders of equity interests have been paid, and that since at
least December 19, 2000, no payments under ss. 3.5(b) of the Arell Stock
Purchase Agreement have been made.

           (e) Each Borrower agrees that it will not request, and the Banks will
not make, advances under the Revolving Credit Commitment or under the Interim
Revolving Credit Commitment during the Forbearance Period.

           (f) Substantially simultaneously with the execution of this Third
Forbearance Agreement, Borrowers shall advise in writing on the status of the
sale of the vertical-boring machine of Ranor. The net proceeds of the sale of
the vertical-boring machine of Ranor shall be paid to Administrative Agent and
applied to reduce Borrowers' Indebtedness. The net proceeds from the sale of any
other Collateral shall be paid to Administrative Agent and applied to reduce
Borrowers' Indebtedness in accordance with ss. 9.5 of the Agreement.

           (g) This Third Forbearance Agreement is without prejudice to the
Banks' rights concerning any agreements between Borrowers and any of their
Subsidiaries, and Steven Merker and William Merker. Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries shall make no prepayments to Steven Merker and William Merker under
any agreement.

           (h) Borrowers and their Subsidiaries agree that Critical Components
Corporation shall not pledge the stock in Arell that has not already been
pledged under the Canadian Pledge.

into any agreement with the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing
authority in connection with any tax refunds, commit any tax refunds to the
Internal Revenue Service, to any other taxing authority, or to any other entity,
or use or dispose of any tax-refund proceeds that Borrowers or any Subsidiaries
receive without the written consent of Banks. Borrowers and their Subsidiaries
agree to provide Administrative Agent with all financial data necessary to
enable the Bank Group to calculate the allocation of any tax refund to each
Borrower and Subsidiary.

                                       3

           (j) Simultaneously with or before the execution of this Third

           (k) By August 31, 2001, Borrowers shall provide Administrative Agent

           (m) The provisions of subsections (c), (d), (e), (f), (h), (i), and
(j) of this ss. 5 expressly survive the expiration of the Third Forbearance
Agreement, except, to the extent not inconsistent with Borrowers' obligations
under the Agreement and Loan Documents, that subsections (c), (d), and (e) of
this ss. 5 shall terminate on the date that Borrowers cease to be in Default and
no Event of Default exists. A violation of any of these subsections by any
Borrower or Subsidiary shall constitute an Event of Default under this Third
Forbearance Agreement and under ss. 10 of the Agreement.

           6. Forbearance Defaults. Each of the following shall constitute a
Forbearance Default:

subordination, in a writing satisfactory to Banks, to the amounts due and owing
or to be due and owing to Banks under the Agreement and to all of the Liens and
security interests granted to Administrative Agent and Banks under the Agreement
and the Loan Documents.

                                       4
