Purchase, Conveyance and Servicing of Receivables

SECTION 2.01. Sales. (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, and without recourse (except such limited recourse as is specifically provided for in Sections 5.01(q) and 6.01), each of the Sellers hereby sells, assigns, transfers and conveys to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser hereby purchases from each of the Sellers, all of such Seller’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired and wherever located, in, to and under the Receivables outstanding on the Initial Incremental Transfer Date and thereafter owned by each of the Sellers, through any Purchase Termination Date, together with all Related Security and Collections with respect thereto (to the extent that such right, title and interest was not already purchased by the Purchaser) and all Proceeds of the foregoing. Such interest in the Receivables, expressed as a dollar amount, shall be equal to the aggregate unpaid balance of the Receivables from time to time. Any sale, assignment, transfer and conveyance hereunder does not constitute an assumption by the Purchaser of any obligations of the Sellers or any other Person to Obligors or to any other Person in connection with the Receivables or under any Related Security or any other agreement or instrument relating to the Receivables.

(b) In connection with such sale, each Seller authorizes the filing on the Initial Incremental Transfer Date, at its own expense, a financing statement or statements (Form UCC-1) with respect to the Receivables and the other property described in Section 2.01(a) sold by such Seller hereunder meeting the requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect and protect the interests of the Purchaser created hereby in the Receivables under the Relevant UCC against all creditors of, and purchasers from, such Seller, and to deliver either the originals of such financing statements or a file-stamped copy of such financing statements or other evidence of such filings to the Purchaser on the Initial Incremental Transfer Date.

(c) Each of the Sellers agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents and take all actions as may be necessary or as the Purchaser may reasonably request in order to perfect or protect the interest of the Purchaser in the Receivables purchased hereunder or to enable the Purchaser to exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, each Seller will, in order to accurately reflect this purchase and sale transaction, execute and file such financing or continuation statements or amendments thereto or assignments thereof (as permitted pursuant hereto) as may be requested by the Purchaser and xxxx its master data processing records (or related subledger) and other documents with a legend describing the purchase by the Purchaser of the Receivables and the interest transferred by the Purchaser to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Receivables Transfer Agreement and stating “Substantially all accounts receivable (including all Receivables as defined in the Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of December 29, 2009 (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time), among TriMas Corporation, a Delaware corporation, each of the Sellers listed on Schedule I thereto or added pursuant to an Additional Seller Supplement, and TSPC, Inc., a

Nevada corporation, as purchaser) have been sold to TSPC, Inc. and then transferred to Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent for various lenders. Details are available from Treasurer, TriMas Corporation, as Collection Agent, at telephone No. (000) 000-0000.” The Sellers shall, upon request of the Purchaser, obtain such additional search reports as the Purchaser shall request. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Purchaser shall be permitted to sign and file continuation statements and amendments thereto and assignments thereof without the Sellers’ signatures. Carbon, photostatic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement shall be sufficient as a financing statement.

(d) It is the express intent of the Sellers, TriMas Corp, TriMas LLC and the Purchaser that the conveyance of the Receivables by the Sellers to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement be construed as a sale of such Receivables by the Sellers to the Purchaser. Further, it is not the intention of the Sellers and the Purchaser that such conveyance be deemed a grant of a security interest in the Receivables by the Sellers to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Sellers. The Sellers shall have no right or obligation hereunder to repurchase or otherwise reacquire any such Receivables. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 5.01(q) and 6.01 hereof, each sale of Receivables by the Sellers hereunder is made without recourse of any kind. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Receivables are construed to constitute property of the Sellers, then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be, and hereby is declared to be, a security agreement within the meaning of the Relevant UCC; and (ii) the conveyances by each of the Sellers provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be, and each of the Sellers hereby grants to the Purchaser, a security interest in, to and under all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables outstanding on the Initial Incremental Transfer Date and thereafter owned by such Seller, together with all Related Security and Collections with respect thereto and all Proceeds of the foregoing, whether now owned or hereafter acquired and wherever located, to secure the rights of the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement or as may be determined in connection therewith by applicable law. Further, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Receivables are construed to constitute property of the Sellers, each Seller and the Purchaser represent and warrant as to itself that each remittance of Collections by such Seller to the Purchaser hereunder will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred by such Seller in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of such Seller and the Purchaser and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of such Seller and the Purchaser. The Sellers and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Receivables, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest in favor of the Purchaser under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.02. Servicing of Receivables. The servicing, administering and collection of the Receivables shall be conducted by each of the Sellers, as agents of the Collection Agent, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Receivables Transfer Agreement. Each Seller hereby agrees to perform, take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Receivables Transfer Agreement, the Credit and Collection Policy and applicable laws, rules and regulations and with the care and diligence which each of the Sellers employs in servicing similar receivables for its own account. The Collection Agent hereby appoints each of the Sellers as its agent to enforce the Purchaser’s rights and interests in,

to and under the Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections with respect thereto. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Seller hereby grants to any Collection Agent appointed under the Receivables Transfer Agreement and at any time following the designation of a Collection Agent other than TriMas Corp., any Seller or the Purchaser, to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney to take in the Seller’s name and on behalf of the Seller any and all steps necessary or desirable, in the reasonable determination of the Collection Agent or the Administrative Agent, to collect all amounts due under any and all Receivables, including, without limitation, endorsing the Seller’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables and the related Contracts. The Collection Agent and each of the Sellers shall hold in trust for the Purchaser, in accordance with its interests, all Records which evidence or relate to the Receivables or Related Security, Collections and Proceeds with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, from and after the occurrence of a Termination Event or a Collection Agent Default, the Administrative Agent, upon written notice to the Collection Agent on behalf of the RTA Purchasers, shall have the absolute and unlimited right to terminate the Sellers’ servicing activities described in this Section 2.02. In consideration of the foregoing, while each Seller is acting as a sub-servicer hereunder, the Purchaser agrees to pay each Seller a servicing fee of 0.50% per annum on the aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Receivables sold by such Seller, payable monthly, for its performance of the duties and obligations described in this Section 2.02; provided that any such monthly payment shall be reduced by any amounts payable in such month by the RTA Purchasers to TriMas Corp., in its capacity as Collection Agent pursuant to the Receivables Transfer Agreement.

ARTICLE III

Consideration and Payment; Reporting

SECTION 3.01. Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Receivables and related property conveyed to the Purchaser by the Sellers under this Agreement (other than Receivables and related property contributed to the Purchaser pursuant to the penultimate sentence of Section 3.02(a)) on any Business Day shall be a dollar amount equal to (a) the product of (i) the aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Receivables sold on such Business Day and (ii) the then applicable Discount Percentage less (b) the amount of the deemed Collection not paid in cash by the Transferor to the Collection Agent pursuant to Section 2.10(a) of the Receivables Transfer Agreement (the “Purchase Price”).

SECTION 3.02. Payment of Purchase Price. (a) The Purchase Price for each Receivable sold hereunder on any Business Day shall be paid or provided for on the Business Day on which such sale occurred (i) by payment in immediately available funds to the extent the Purchaser has such funds available and (ii) to the extent such funds are not available, by increasing the amount due under the Subordinated Note by notation thereon; provided, however, that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Note on any Business Day (after giving effect to all repayments thereof on or before such Business Day) shall not exceed the lesser of (x) 30% of the Outstanding Balance of the Receivables purchased hereunder existing on such Business Day and (y) an amount that would cause the Purchaser’s net worth (as defined in accordance with GAAP) to be less than $25,000,000. To the extent that the Purchaser does not have sufficient cash or availability under the Subordinated Note to pay the total

Purchase Price for Receivables sold on any Business Day in full, TriMas LLC may make or cause to be made a cash capital contribution to the Purchaser. No sales of Receivables shall be made hereunder on and after the Purchase Termination Date.

(b) All increases to the amount due under the Subordinated Note pursuant to Section 3.02(a)(ii) (each, an “Advance”) shall be evidenced by a single subordinated note, duly executed on behalf of the Purchaser, in substantially the form of Exhibit A annexed hereto, delivered on the Closing Date and payable to TriMas Corp., as agent for the Sellers (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect from time to time, the “Subordinated Note”). The Collection Agent is hereby authorized by the Purchaser to endorse on the schedule attached to the Subordinated Note (or a continuation of such schedule attached thereto and made a part thereof) an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each Advance, as well as the date and amount of each payment with respect thereto; provided, however, that the failure of any Person to make such a notation shall not affect any obligations of the Purchaser thereunder. Any such notation shall be conclusive and binding as to the date and amount of such Advance, or payment of principal or interest thereon, absent manifest error.

(i) Allocation of Advances. Advances shall be allocated among the Sellers pro rata according to the Purchase Price due to each Seller on the date such Advances are made.

(ii) Repayment of Advances. All amounts paid by the Purchaser with respect to the Advances shall be allocated first to the repayment of accrued interest until all such interest is paid, and then to the outstanding principal amount of the Advances. TriMas Corp. shall apply and distribute all payments of principal pro rata among the Sellers according to the outstanding Advances of each Seller. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Purchaser may borrow, repay and reborrow Advances on and after the date hereof and prior to the termination of this Agreement, subject to the terms, provisions and limitations set forth herein.

(iii) Interest. The Subordinated Note shall bear interest from its date on the outstanding principal balance thereof at an initial rate per annum equal to 3.50%, adjusted on each Interest Payment Date (as defined therein) to an amount equal to the LMIR (as defined therein). Interest on each Advance shall be computed based on the number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

(iv) Sole and Exclusive Remedy; Subordination. The Purchaser shall be obligated to repay Advances to TriMas Corp., as agent for the Sellers, only to the extent of funds available to the Purchaser from Collections on the Receivables and, to the extent that such payments are insufficient to pay all amounts owing to the Sellers under the Subordinated Note, the Sellers shall not have any claim against the Purchaser for such amounts and no further or additional recourse shall be available against the Purchaser. The Subordinated Note shall be fully subordinated to any rights of the Administrative

Agent, on behalf of the RTA Purchasers pursuant to the Receivables Transfer Agreement, and shall not evidence any rights in the Receivables or related property.

(v) Offsets, etc. The Purchaser may offset any amount due and owing by the Sellers to the Purchaser against any amount due and owing by the Purchaser to TriMas Corp., as agent for the Sellers, under the terms of the Subordinated Note.

SECTION 3.03. Reports. Each Seller will furnish to the Collection Agent all information with respect to the Receivables sold by such Seller under this Agreement required by the Collection Agent in order to complete the Interim Reports and Monthly Reports delivered by the Collection Agent pursuant to the Receivables Transfer Agreement. Each delivery of an Interim Report or a Monthly Report by the Collection Agent shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by each Seller that all information set forth in those reports with respect to the Receivables sold by such Seller under this Agreement and Collections thereof is true and correct.

SECTION 3.04. Transfer of Records. (a) In connection with the Purchase of Receivables hereunder, each of the Sellers hereby sells, transfers, and conveys to the Purchaser all of its right and title to and interest in the Records relating to all of its Receivables sold hereunder, without the need for any further documentation in connection with any Purchase. In connection with such transfer, each of the Sellers hereby grants to the Purchaser, the Collection Agent and the Administrative Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use without royalty or payment of any kind, all software used by such Seller to account for its Receivables, to the extent necessary to administer its Receivables, whether such software is owned by TriMas Corp. or is owned by others and used by TriMas Corp. under license agreements with respect thereto, provided that should the consent of any licensor to such grant of license described herein be required, each Seller agrees that upon the request of the Purchaser, the Collection Agent or the Administrative Agent, such Seller will use reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third- party licensor. The irrevocable license hereby granted shall terminate on the date when the Net Investment has been reduced to zero, all other Aggregate Unpaids have been paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated.

(b) Each Seller shall take such action as requested by the Purchaser, from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that the Purchaser and its assignees have an enforceable right to use all Records and all software used to account for the Receivables and/or recreate such records.

SECTION 3.05. Payments and Computations. All amounts due to be paid or deposited by the Purchaser hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof on the day when due in immediately available funds to the account designated from time to time by the Sellers or as otherwise directed by the Sellers. In the event that any payment owed by any Person hereunder becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. Except as otherwise provided in the Transaction Documents, any amount due hereunder that is not paid when due hereunder shall

bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate as in effect from time to time until paid in full; provided, however, that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. All computations of interest payable hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first, but excluding the last) elapsed.

ARTICLE IV

(b) Corporate and Governmental Authorization; Contravention.

(c) Binding Effect. Each of the Transaction Documents to which such Seller is a party will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Seller, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors and general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(d) Valid and Perfected Security Interest. Each Receivable originated by such Seller has been transferred to the Purchaser free and clear of any Adverse Claim except as created hereby or by the other Transaction Documents and Permitted Originator Encumbrances. Without limiting the foregoing, such Seller has delivered to the Administrative Agent (as the Purchaser’s assignee) in form suitable for filing all financing statements or other similar

instruments or documents necessary under the UCC of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect the Purchaser’s ownership interest in such Receivables and the Administrative Agent’s collateral assignment thereof. This Agreement creates a valid security interest in each such Receivable and its Related Security in favor of the Purchaser, and, upon filing of the financing statements described in the preceding sentence, together with UCC assignments delivered hereunder, such security interest will be a first priority perfected security interest.

(e) [Intentionally deleted].

(f) [Intentionally deleted]

(g) Quality of Title; Valid Sale.

(i) Immediately preceding the sale of the Receivables and Related Security pursuant to this Agreement, such Seller was the owner of all of the Receivables, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, security interests, preferences or other security arrangements. Upon payment of the applicable Purchase Price for each Receivable in one or more of the manners permitted by this Agreement, the Purchaser will have irrevocably obtained all legal and equitable title to such Receivable and its Related Security, and the Purchaser has the legal right to sell and encumber, each such Receivable and its Related Security.

(ii) No financing statement or other instrument similar in effect covering any portion of the Receivables or Related Security is on file in any recording office except such as may be (A) filed in favor of a Seller in accordance with a Contract, (B) filed in favor of the Purchaser and its assigns in connection with this Agreement, (C) filed in favor of the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Receivables Transfer Agreement, (D) filed in connection with any lien arising solely as the result of any action taken by the Administrative Agent, (E) terminated or amended prior to the date hereof pursuant to the UCC termination statements or amendments delivered hereunder, or (F) filed by an unauthorized third party for which authenticated demand for termination has been made pursuant to UCC termination statements pursuant to UCC 9-513(c)(4).

(h) Accuracy of Information. All written information heretofore furnished by such Seller to the Purchaser, the Collection Agent and the Administrative Agent for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is, and all such information hereafter furnished by such Seller to the Purchaser, the Collection Agent, the Administrative Agent, and the RTA Purchasers will be, true and accurate in every material respect, on the date such information is stated or certified.

(i) Tax Status. Such Seller has filed all material tax returns (Federal, state and local) required to be filed and has paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all material taxes, assessments and other similar governmental charges other than taxes contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP and taxes which are not yet due and payable.

(j) Litigation. Except as set forth in TriMas Corp.’s 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2009, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending, or to the

knowledge of such Seller threatened, against or affecting such Seller or any Affiliate of such Seller or their respective properties, in or before any court, arbitrator or other Official Body, which could reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(k) Place of Business. The state and form of organization, principal place of business and chief executive office of such Seller are located at the address specified on Schedule I, and the offices where such Seller keeps all its Records, are located at the address specified on Schedule I, or such other locations notified to the Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement in jurisdictions where all action required by the terms of this Agreement has been taken and completed. As of the date hereof, such Seller is a “registered organization” (within the meaning of Section 9-102 of the UCC as in effect in its jurisdiction of organization).

(l) Reliance on Separate Legal Identity. Such Seller is aware that Administrative Agent is entering into the Transaction Documents in reliance upon the Purchaser’s identity as a legal entity separate from such Seller.

(m) Solvency. Such Seller is not insolvent, does not have unreasonably small capital with which to carry on its business, is able to pay its debts generally as they become due and payable, and its liabilities do not exceed its assets. TriMas Corp. is, and TriMas Corp. and its Subsidiaries are, on a consolidated basis, solvent.

(n) Tradenames, Etc. As of the date hereof: (i) Such Seller has only the subsidiaries and divisions listed on Exhibit I to the Receivables Transfer Agreement; and (ii) such Seller has, within the last five years, operated only under the tradenames identified on Exhibit I to the Receivables Transfer Agreement, and, within the last five (5) years, has not changed its name, merged with or into or consolidated with any other corporation or been the subject of any proceeding under Xxxxx 00, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code (Bankruptcy), except as disclosed in Exhibit I to the Receivables Transfer Agreement.

(o) Nature of Receivables. Each Receivable included in the calculation of the Net Receivables Balance in fact satisfies at such time the definition of “Eligible Receivable” and is an “eligible asset” as defined in Rule 3a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and is not a Defaulted Receivable.

(p) Credit and Collection Policy. With respect to the Receivables originated by such Seller, such Seller has complied in all material respects with its applicable Credit and Collection Policy.

(q) Collections and Sub-Servicing. Since the Closing Date, there has been no material adverse change in the ability of such Seller to sub-service and collect the Receivables.

(r) Binding Effect of Receivables and Contract. Each Receivable and related Contract constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Obligor, enforceable against the Obligor, subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(s) Not an Investment Company. Such Seller is not, nor is it controlled by, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and it is exempt from all provisions of such Act.

(t) ERISA. Such Seller and its ERISA Affiliates and any “employee benefit plan” (as such term is defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) established by such Seller, including any such plan that is subject to Section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code or Title IV of ERISA, are in compliance with ERISA, except for any noncompliance which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and no lien exists in favor of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation on any of the Receivables.

(u) Lock-Box Accounts. The names and addresses of all the Lock-Box Banks, together with the account numbers of the Lock-Box Accounts at such Lock-Box Banks, are specified in Exhibit B to the Receivables Transfer Agreement. All Obligors have been instructed to pay all Collections to a Lock-Box Account.

(v) Bulk Sales. No transaction contemplated by this Agreement requires compliance with any bulk sales act or similar law.

(w) Reasonably Equivalent Value. The Purchase Price constitutes reasonably equivalent value in consideration for the transfer by each Seller to the Purchaser of Receivables from such Seller pursuant to this Agreement and no such transfer has been made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by such Seller to the Purchaser, and no such transfer is or may be voidable or subject to avoidance under any section of the Bankruptcy Code.

(x) Regulations T, U and X. No proceeds of the sales of Receivables under this Agreement will be used by the Seller to acquire any security in any transaction which violates Regulation T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board. Such Seller is not engaged and will not engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the Federal Reserve Board), or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock.

(y) OFAC. Neither such Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (a) is a Sanctioned Person, (b) does business in a Sanctioned Country or with a Sanctioned Person in violation of the economic sanctions of the United States administered by OFAC or (c) does business in such country or with any such agency, organization or person, in violation of the economic sanctions of the United States administered by OFAC.

SECTION 4.02. Reaffirmation of Representations and Warranties by the Sellers; Notice of Breach. On the Closing Date and on each Business Day on which Receivables are sold hereunder, the Sellers, by accepting the proceeds of such sale, shall be deemed to have certified that all representations and warranties described in Section 4.01 are true and correct in all material respects on and as of such day as though made on and as of such day except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date. The representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.01 shall survive (i) the conveyance of the Receivables to the Purchaser, (ii) the termination of the rights and obligations of the Purchaser and the Sellers under this Agreement and (iii) the termination of the rights and obligations of the

Transferor, the Guarantor and the Sellers under the Receivables Transfer Agreement. Upon the coming to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer of the Purchaser or any of the Sellers of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party with knowledge of such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other within three (3) Business Days of such discovery.

ARTICLE V

SECTION 9.06. Further Assurances. The Purchaser and the Sellers agree to do and perform, from time to time, any and all acts and to execute any and all further instruments required or reasonably requested by the other party more fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the execution of any financing statements or continuation statements or equivalent documents relating to the Receivables for filing under the provisions of the Relevant UCC or other laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exhaustive of any rights, remedies, powers and privilege provided by law.

SECTION 9.08. Counterparts. (a) This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts thereof (and by different parties on separate counterparts), each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

The Purchaser, the Administrative Agent and the RTA Purchasers will not unreasonably withhold or delay their consent to such Subsidiary becoming an additional Seller (it being understood, however, that such addition may be predicated on a Review and/or changes to the reserves under the Receivables Transfer Agreement depending on the relative amount of such Subsidiary’s receivables). If TriMas Corp., the Purchaser, the Administrative Agent and each of the RTA Purchasers shall have agreed to any such request, such wholly-owned Subsidiary shall become an additional Seller party hereto on the related Seller Addition Date upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7.02.

FORM OF SUBORDINATED NOTE

December 29, 2009

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, TSPC, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Maker”), hereby promises to pay to the order of TRIMAS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Payee”), as Agent for the Sellers under the Receivables Purchase Agreement referred to below, on December 30, 2013 or earlier as provided for in the Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of December 29, 2009 between the Maker, the Payee and the Sellers (as such agreement may from time to time be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”), the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Advances to the Maker from the Sellers pursuant to the terms of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, and to pay interest from the date thereof on the principal amount hereof from the date of this Note continuing until such principal balance shall be paid in full, in like funds, at an office designated by the Payee. Accrued and unpaid interest shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar month (each day, an “Interest Payment Date”).

Interest shall be payable at the initial rate of 3.50%, per annum, adjusted monthly on each Interest Payment Date, for the month commencing on such Interest Payment date, to the LMIR (as defined in the Receivables Transfer Agreement referenced in the Receivables Purchase Agreement) then in effect. If any Interest Payment Date shall not be a Business Day, then such Interest Payment Date shall be deemed to occur on the next following Business Day, but no additional interest shall be payable. A “Business Day” means any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York, New York are required or authorized by law to be closed.

The undersigned, for itself and its legal representatives, successors and assigns, and any others who may at any time become liable for payment hereunder, hereby (a) consents to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications, if any, that may be granted or consented to by the Payee with regard to the time of payment hereunder or any other provisions hereof. A-1 The Maker hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand, protest, notice of dishonor and notice of nonpayment. The non-exercise by the holder hereof of any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder or thereafter available in law, in equity, by statute or otherwise in any particular instance shall not constitute a waiver thereof in that or any subsequent instance.

All borrowings evidenced by this Subordinated Note and all payments and prepayments of the principal hereof and interest hereon and the respective dates thereof shall be endorsed by the holder hereof on the schedule attached hereto and made a part hereof, or on a continuation thereof which shall be attached hereto and made a part hereof, or otherwise recorded by such holder in its internal records; provided, however, that the failure of the holder hereof to make such a notation or any error in such a notation shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Maker to make payments of principal and interest in accordance with the terms of this Subordinated Note and the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

A-1

The Maker shall have the right to subject to the limitations set forth in the Receivables Purchase Agreement, reborrow Advances made to it without penalty or premium.

This Note may be prepaid in full, or from time to time in part, at any time. All payments received under this Note shall be applied first to accrued interest and the remainder, if any, to the principal amount hereunder.

This Subordinated Note is the Subordinated Note referred to in the Receivables Purchase Agreement, which, among other things, contains provisions for the subordination of this Subordinated Note to the rights of certain parties under the Receivables Transfer Agreement, all upon the terms and conditions specified therein and as specified on Schedule II to this Subordinated Note. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in, or incorporated by reference into, the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

This Subordinated Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Maker has caused this Note to be signed in its corporate name by the officer thereunto duly authorized, and to be dated as of the date first above written.

SCHEDULE II

TO SUBORDINATED NOTE

SUBORDINATION

Section 1. Agreement to Subordinate. (a) The Maker for itself and its successors covenants and agrees, and the Payee, by its acceptance of this Note, likewise covenants and agrees, that the indebtedness represented by this Note and the payment of the principal of and interest on this Note is hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness (as defined in Section l(b) below). This Schedule II shall constitute a continuing offer and inducement to all Persons who become holders of, or continue to hold, Senior Indebtedness. The provisions of this Schedule II are made for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, each of whom is an obligee hereunder and is entitled to enforce such holders’ rights hereunder, without any act or notice of acceptance hereof or reliance hereon. No amendment, modification or discharge of any provision of this Schedule II shall be effective against any holder of Senior Indebtedness unless expressly consented to in writing by such holder. The provisions of this Schedule II apply notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note.

(b) “Senior Indebtedness” means all indebtedness incurred, assumed or guaranteed, directly or indirectly, by the Maker, either before, on, or after the date hereof without any limitation as to the amount or terms thereof, and whether such indebtedness (including, but not limited to, interest on any such indebtedness) arises or accrues before or after the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings, including (1) all obligations of the Maker to the Administrative Agent and the RTA Purchasers (as such terms are defined below) incurred pursuant to the Receivables Transfer Agreement dated as of December 29, 2009 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Receivables Transfer Agreement”), among the Maker, the RTA Purchasers (as defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement), Wachovia Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), the Payee, individually, as collection agent (in such capacity, the “Collection Agent”) and TriMas, LLC, as Guarantor, including all fees, expenses, indemnities and any other amounts payable pursuant to the Receivables Transfer Agreement. Senior Indebtedness shall continue to constitute Senior Indebtedness for all purposes of this Note, and the provisions of this Schedule II shall continue to apply to such Senior Indebtedness, notwithstanding the fact that such Senior Indebtedness or any claim in respect thereof shall be disallowed, avoided or subordinated pursuant to the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law.

Section 2. Subordination of this Note. In the event of any dissolution, winding- up, liquidation or reorganization of the Maker (whether voluntary or involuntary and whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings, or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshaling of the assets and liabilities of the Maker or otherwise), the Maker and the Payee, by its acceptance hereof, covenant and agree that:

(a) all Senior Indebtedness shall first be paid in full, before any payment or distribution is made upon the principal of or interest on this Note:

A-4

(b) any payment or distribution of assets of the Maker or from the estate created by the commencement of any such proceeding, whether in cash, property or securities to which the Payee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Schedule II (including any such payments or distributions which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Maker being subordinated to the payment of this Note), shall be paid or delivered by the Maker or any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person making such payment or distribution directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay in full all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is made to the Payee; and

(c) in the event that any payment or distribution of cash, property or securities shall be received by the Payee in contravention of subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 2 (including any such payments or distributions which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Maker being subordinated to payment of this Note) before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be held for the benefit of and shall be paid over to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instrument evidencing any Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay in full all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of Senior Indebtedness.

The Maker shall give prompt written notice to the Payee of any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of the Maker or any assignment for the benefit of creditors.

Section 3. Subrogation; Enforcement. Subject to and only after the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding, the Payee shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness (to the extent of payments or distributions previously made to such holders of Senior Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of Section 2 and equally and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of the Maker which by its express terms is subordinated to indebtedness of the Maker to substantially the same extent as this Note is subordinated and is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to receive payments or distributions of assets of the Maker applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until amounts owing on this Note shall be paid in full. No payments or distributions to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which the Payee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Schedule II, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Schedule II to holders of Senior Indebtedness by the Payee, shall as between the Maker, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Payee be deemed to be a payment by the Maker to or for the account of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Schedule II are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Payee, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand, and nothing contained in this Schedule II or elsewhere in this Note is intended to or shall impair the obligation of the

A-5

Maker, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Payee, subject to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the principal of and interest on this Note as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with its terms, or is intended to or shall effect the relative rights of the Payee and creditors of the Maker other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Payee from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Note, subject to the rights, if any, under this Schedule II, of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Maker received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

The Payee by its acceptance hereof: (i) if and so long as payment with respect to this Note is prohibited under this Schedule II, irrevocably authorizes and empowers (but without imposing any obligation on, or any duty to the Payee from) each holder of Senior Indebtedness at any time outstanding and such holder’s representatives, to demand, xxx for, collect, receive and receipt for the Payee’s payments and distributions in respect of this Note (including, without limitation, all payments and distributions which may be payable or deliverable pursuant to the terms of any indebtedness subordinated to this Note which are required to be paid or delivered to the holders of Senior Indebtedness as provided in this Schedule II and to file and prove all claims therefor and all such other action (including the right to vote, file and prove claims respecting any indebtedness subordinated to this Note), as such holder of Senior Indebtedness or such holder’s representatives, may determine to be necessary or appropriate for the enforcement of the provisions of this Schedule II; and (ii) agrees to execute and to deliver to each holder of Senior Indebtedness and such holder’s representatives all such further instruments confirming the authorization hereinabove set forth, and all such powers of attorney, proofs of claim, assignments of claim and other instruments, and to take all such other action that may be requested by such holder of Senior Indebtedness or such holder’s representatives in order to enable such holder to enforce all claims upon or in respect of the Payee’s payments and distributions in respect of this Note and so long as there is Senior Indebtedness outstanding, not to compromise, release, forgive or otherwise discharge the obligations of the Maker with respect to this Note. For purposes of this Note, Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed to be outstanding until the Receivables Transfer Agreement is no longer in effect.

Section 4. Reliance on Court Orders. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Maker referred to in Section 2, the Payee shall be entitled to rely upon a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Payee, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Maker, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Schedule II.

The Payee owes no fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Payee undertakes to perform or to observe only such covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Note and no implied covenants and obligations with respect to holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Note against the Payee.

Section 5. Payments Upon Default in Payment of Senior Indebtedness and During Senior Indebtedness Default. The Maker shall not make any payment with respect to this Note if and so long as:

A-6

(1) any Senior Indebtedness is or becomes due and payable (whether at maturity, for an installment of principal or interest, upon acceleration, for mandatory prepayment, or otherwise) and remains unpaid; or

(2) any Senior Indebtedness Default (as defined below) has occurred and has not been cured or waived in conformity with the terms of the instrument, indenture or agreement governing such Senior Indebtedness; or

(3) a payment by the Maker with respect to this Note would, immediately after giving effect thereto, result in a Senior Indebtedness Default.

A payment with respect to this Note shall include, without limitation, payment of principal of and interest on this Note, purchase of this Note by the Maker and any other payment.

“Senior Indebtedness Default” means the failure to make any payment of any Senior Indebtedness when due or the happening of an event of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness, as defined therein or in the instrument under which the same is outstanding which, by its terms, if occurring prior to the stated maturity of such Senior Indebtedness, permits or with the giving of notice or lapse of time (or both) would permit any holder thereof, any group of such holders or any trustee or representative for such holders thereupon to accelerate the maturity thereof or results in such acceleration, including, without limitation, a “Termination Event” or “Potential Termination Event” as defined in the Receivables Transfer Agreement, whether or not such Senior Indebtedness or instrument has been avoided, disallowed or subordinated.

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of cash, property or securities shall be received or collected by the Payee in contravention of this Section 5 or if and as long as payment with respect to this Note is prohibited under this Schedule II, and except as otherwise expressly provided in Sections 6 and 7 below, such payment or distribution shall be held for the benefit of and shall be paid over to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instrument evidencing Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay in full all Senior Indebtedness then due, after giving effect to any concurrent payment to the holders of Senior Indebtedness.

Section 6. Payee Entitled to Presume Payments Permitted in Absence of Notice. Unless and until written notice shall be received by the Payee from any holder of Senior Indebtedness notifying the Payee of the existence of one or more of the circumstances which would prohibit the making of any payment with respect to this Note under the provisions of Section 5 and stating that it is a “Notice of Senior Indebtedness Default”, the Payee shall be entitled to assume that no such circumstances exist. From and after the receipt by the Payee of such Notice the Payee shall, so long as Senior Indebtedness shall be outstanding (but not thereafter), assume that such circumstances continue to exist unless and until the Payee receives a notice from the holder of such Senior Indebtedness to which such default relates stating that such holder has received evidence satisfactory to it that such circumstances have been cured or waived and stating that it is a “Notice of Cure or Waiver of Senior Indebtedness Default.”

A-7

Section 7. Application by Payee of Moneys Deposited With It. Any funds deposited with or collected by the Payee in respect of this Note shall be subject to the provisions of this Schedule II, except that, if immediately prior to the date on which by the terms of this Note any such funds may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of either the principal of or the interest on this Note), the Payee shall not have received with respect to such finds the Notice of Senior Indebtedness Default provided for in Section 6, then the Payee shall have full power and authority to receive such funds and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received and shall not be affected with respect to such funds by any Notice of Senior Indebtedness default to the contrary which may be received by the Payee on or after such date.

Section 8. Obligation not Affected. Except as expressly provided in this Schedule II, nothing contained in this Schedule II or elsewhere in this Note shall affect the obligation of the Maker to make payments of the principal of or interest on this Note at any time in accordance with the provisions hereof.

Section 9. No Waiver. No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness of the Maker to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act of or failure to act on the part of the Maker or the Payee or by any act or failure to act, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Maker or the Payee with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Note, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with. The holders of Senior Indebtedness may extend, renew, modify or amend the terms of the Senior Indebtedness or any security therefor or guaranty thereof and release, sell or exchange or enforce such security or guaranty or elect any right or remedy, or delay in enforcing or release any right or remedy and otherwise deal freely with the Maker all without notice to the Payee and all without affecting the liabilities and obligations of the Payee, even if any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Payee is extinguished, affected or impaired thereby. No provision of any supplemental indenture which affects the superior position of the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be effective against the holders of Senior Indebtedness who have not consented thereto.

Section 10. Effectuation of Subordination by the Payee. The Payee, by his acceptance of this Note, agrees to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Schedule II.

Section 11. Notice to Maker. The Payee shall promptly advise the Maker of any notice, presentation or demand, as the case may be, received by the Payee from holders of Senior Indebtedness.

Section 12. Payee to Presume Outstanding Senior Indebtedness in Absence of Notice. Unless and until written notice shall be given to the Payee by the Maker and the Administrative Agent notifying the Payee that Senior Indebtedness is no longer outstanding, the Payee shall assume that Senior Indebtedness is outstanding. The Maker agrees to give, and to request the Administrative Agent to give, such notice to the Payee promptly after the first date on which no Senior Indebtedness shall be outstanding.
