5.   CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

5.1  CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

     Each party shall hold in confidence, and shall use solely for purposes of
     or provided in this Agreement any confidential or proprietary information
     ("CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION") received by it from the other or derived from
     Confidential Information received from the other, and shall protect the
     confidentiality of such with the same degree of care that it exercises with
     respect to its own information of like import, but in no event less than
     reasonable care. This clause 5.1 shall survive termination of this
     Agreement for a period of 5 years.

5.2  EXCEPTIONS

     The obligations of clause 5.1 shall not apply to any portion of the
     Confidential Information which:

          part of the receiving party, becomes generally known in the heavy
          and/or light wheel industry;

                                       5
<PAGE>

     (b)  is hereafter furnished to the receiving party by a third party without
          obligation to keep such information confidential;

     (c)  is independently developed by the receiving party without the use of
          the Confidential Information;

     (d)  is required to be disclosed pursuant to a legal, judicial or
          administrative procedure or otherwise required by law;

     (e)  is already in the possession of, or known to, the receiving party
          prior to its receipt; or

     (f)  is approved for release or use without restriction by written
          authorization of an officer of the disclosing party.

     Subject to the requirements of clause 5.1, hereof, the receiving party may
     disclose appropriate portions of Confidential Information to its employees
     who have a need to know the specific information in question, and to
     subsidiaries, affiliates, representatives, agents, auditors, lenders and
     regulators having a need or right to know. No Confidential Information
     shall be disclosed to any third party by a receiving party without the
     prior written consent of the other party.

     In case of termination of this Agreement the parties shall immediately
     cease to use all the Confidential Information and within thirty (30) days

     of the other party to that party.

5.4  INJUNCTION

     Confidential Information has been and will continue to be of central
     importance to the business of a disclosing party and its disclosure to or
     use by others will cause immediate and irreparable injury to the disclosing
     party, which may not be adequately compensated by damages and for which
     there is no adequate remedy at law. In the event of any actual or
     threatened misappropriation or disclosure of Confidential Information, the
     receiving party agrees that the disclosing party will be entitled to an
     injunction prohibiting such misappropriation or disclosure, and to specific
     enforcement of the receiving party's obligations hereunder. The foregoing
     rights to an injunction and specific performance will be cumulative and in
     addition to every other remedy now or hereafter available to disclosing
     party in law or equity or by statute.

5.5  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

     In no event shall either party be liable for any lost revenues or profits
     or other special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out
     of this Agreement, even if that party has been advised of the possibility
     of such damages, and regardless of whether any remedy set forth herein
     fails of its essential purpose.

     "DISPUTE") arising directly or indirectly out of or related to this

     and whether during the term or after the termination of this Agreement,
     shall be resolved exclusively according to the procedures set forth in this

     notification of a dispute by one of them. If the dispute is not resolved
     within five (5) days of such meeting (or sixteen (16) days should a meeting
     of such persons have not occurred for any reason), either party may refer
     the matter to the chief executives of each party. If the Steering Committee
     fails to produce a solution accepted by the parties affected by the matter
     in question then the following procedures shall be adhered to by the
     parties:

     (a)  the respective chief executives of the affected parties shall attempt
          to resolve the dispute by meeting fully briefed on the issues and
          discussing the possible solutions and if possible agreeing on a
          solution or procedure for a solution (which may include one of the
          further steps set out below). The chief executives shall be obliged to
          meet for this purpose within thirty (30) days of notification of
          dispute;

     (b)  if a meeting of chief executives does not lead to a solution. any one
          of such chief executives may require that the dispute shall be
          mediated by an international expert of standing and repute in the
          field of the subject matter of the dispute, selected from a panel of
          mediators proposed by the Centre for Dispute Resolution (CEDR) in the
          United Kingdom. The parties agree to co-operate and participate with
          the mediation process by making available, promptly and adequately
          resourced and available senior executives and adhering to the
          processes proposed by such mediator. Costs of the mediator shall be
          borne equally by the parties to the dispute; other costs shall be
          borne by the party incurring them. The mediator shall be selected by
          agreement, not to be delayed or withheld;

     (c)  if agreement or solution is not reached within ninety (90) days of
          commencement of mediation process or if agreement is not reached on
          the selection of a mediator, the matter in dispute shall be referred
          for final solution by arbitration in London, England under the
          arbitration rules of the International Chamber of Commerce by a single
          arbitrator agreed between the parties or failing such agreement within
          thirty (30) days, by a panel of three arbitrators, of whom one shall
          be appointed by

                                       7
<PAGE>

          Gianetti Ruote, one shall be appointed by Accuride, and the third
          shall be appointed by the other two, save that if no agreement is
          reached by them on the third within thirty (30) days, the third shall
          be appointed by the President (or equivalent officer) for the time
          being of the International Chamber of Commerce.

7.3  NO PUNITIVE DAMAGES, FEES

     Under no circumstances shall the arbitrator(s) have any authority to award
     punitive damages. Judgement on the arbitrator's award may then be entered
     in any court which has proper jurisdiction. The prevailing party shall be
     entitled to reimbursement of attorneys' and other fees incurred in
     satisfying its judgement.

7.4  RIGHTS OF PARTIES

     The use of any of the above procedures shall not be construed under the
     doctrine of laches, waiver or estoppel to affect adversely the right of
     either party, and nothing in this section shall prevent either party from
     resorting to judicial proceedings if:

     (a)  good faith efforts to resolve the dispute under these procedures have
          been unsuccessful; or

     (b)  interim relief from a court is necessary to prevent serious and
          irreparable injury to one party or to others.

          of such chief executives may require that the dispute shall be
          mediated by an international expert of standing and repute in the
          field of the subject matter of the dispute, selected from a panel of
          mediators proposed by the Centre for Dispute Resolution (CEDR) in the
          United Kingdom. The parties agree to co-operate and participate with
          the mediation process by making senior executives available and
          adhering to the processes proposed by such mediator. Costs of the
          mediator shall be borne equally by the parties to the dispute; other
          costs shall be borne by the party incurring them. The mediator shall
          be selected by agreement, not to be delayed or withheld;

     (c)  if agreement or solution is not reached within ninety (90) days of
          commencement of mediation process or if agreement is not reached on
          the selection of a mediator, the matter in dispute shall be referred
          for final solution by arbitration in London, England under the
          arbitration rules of the International Chamber of Commerce by a single

          agreement is reached by them on the third within thirty (30) days, the
          third shall be appointed by the President (or equivalent officer) for
          the time being of the International Chamber of Commerce.

13.3 NO PUNITIVE DAMAGES, FEES

     Under no circumstances shall the arbitrator(s) have any authority to award
     punitive damages. Judgement on the arbitrator's award may then be entered
     in any court which has proper jurisdiction. The prevailing party shall be
     entitled to reimbursement of attorneys' and other fees incurred in
     satisfying its judgement.

     (a)  good faith efforts to resolve the dispute under these procedures have
          been unsuccessful; or
