      The information contained in this Amendment No. 12 supplements and amends
the information contained in the following Items of the Schedule 13D filed by
Richard A. Manoogian relating to the Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share
(the "Common Stock"), of MascoTech, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"),
as heretofore amended.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of Issuer.

      (a)   On October 31, 1996, the reporting person sold 1,000,000 shares of
Common Stock to the Issuer for $13,625,000.  After giving effect to this
transaction and other transactions since the date of the previous amendment to
this Schedule 13D, as of October 31, 1996, the reporting person beneficially
owned 4,501,142 shares of Common Stock, of which (i) 2,839,736 shares were owned
directly, (ii) 71,840 shares had been granted under the restricted stock
incentive plans of Masco Corporation and the Issuer and are still subject to
certain restrictions on disposition as provided in such plans, (iii) 1,000,000
shares could be acquired upon the exercise of an option granted under the
Issuer's stock option plan to the extent such option is exercisable on or before
December 31, 1996, (iv) 202,560 shares were owned by the Alex and Marie
Manoogian Foundation, a charitable foundation of which the reporting person is a
director, (v) 290,232 shares could be acquired by the Alex and Marie Manoogian
Foundation upon the conversion of convertible securities of the Issuer held by
such Foundation to the extent such securities are convertible on or before
December 31, 1996, and (vi) 96,774 shares could be acquired by the Richard and
Jane Manoogian Foundation, a charitable foundation of which the reporting person
is a director, upon conversion of convertible securities of the Issuer held by
such Foundation to the extent such securities are convertible on or before
December 31, 1996.  To the best of his knowledge and based on the number of
shares of Common Stock believed to be outstanding, as of October 31, 1996 the
reporting person was deemed to be the beneficial owner of 11.7 percent of the
shares of Common Stock.

      (b)   The reporting person has (i) the sole power to vote all of the
shares described in clauses (i) and (ii) of Item 5(a) above, and (ii) the sole
power to dispose of the shares described in clause (i) of Item 5(a) above.  The
reporting person shares with the other directors the power to vote or direct the
vote or to dispose or direct the disposition of the 202,560 shares owned by the
Foundation described in clause (iv) of Item 5(a) above.  The reporting person,
Christine Simone, Louise M. Simone and Eugene A. Gargaro, Jr. are the directors
of the Alex and Marie Manoogian Foundation, and the reporting person, Eugene A.
Gargaro, Jr. and Jane Manoogian are the directors of the Richard and Jane
Manoogian Foundation, and all of the directors have a business address of 21001
Van Born Road, Taylor, Michigan 48180.  To the knowledge of the undersigned,
none of the directors of the Foundations has been convicted in a criminal
proceeding nor have they been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction resulting in a judgment, decree or
final order enjoining future violations of, or mandating activities subject to,
Federal or State securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such
laws.  They are all citizens of the United States of America.









<PAGE>


      The reporting person disclaims any beneficial ownership or interest
whatsoever in the shares of the Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer
owned by the Foundations, and the filing of this Amendment No. 12 to Schedule
13D shall not be construed as an admission that he is the beneficial owner of
such shares or other securities.

Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect
to Securities of the Issuer.

      On October 31, 1996, the reporting person sold 1,000,000 shares of Common
Stock to the Issuer for $13,625,000, of which $6,000,000 was paid in cash and
the balance is due within one year.  The reporting person currently holds
options to acquire 1,000,000 shares and 620,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant
to the Issuer's 1984 Stock Option Plan and 1991 Long Term Stock Incentive Plan,
respectively.  The option price is equal to the fair market value of the shares
of Common Stock on the date of the grant and each option is exercisable
cumulatively in installments over a period of ten years and one day.

      The reporting person holds awards of shares of Common Stock pursuant to
(i) Masco Corporation's 1984 Restricted Stock (Industries) Incentive Plan, (ii)
the Issuer's 1984 Restricted Stock Incentive Plan, and (iii) the Issuer's 1991
Long Term Stock Incentive Plan.  Shares awarded pursuant to these Plans are
restricted and held by Masco Corporation or the Issuer, as the case may be. 
Awards to the reporting person vest over a period of ten years contingent upon
continued employment and automatically vest upon death or permanent and total
disability or the occurrence of certain events constituting a change in control
of Masco Corporation or the Issuer.  Until the shares vest, the reporting person
may not transfer ownership of such shares but has the right to vote them.  As of
October 31, 1996, 71,840 shares of Common Stock awarded to the reporting person
under these Plans remained subject to the restrictions described herein.

Item 7.  Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

                                 November 11, 1996




Mr. Richard A. Manoogian
21001 Van Born Road
Taylor, MI 48180


Dear Mr. Manoogian:

      On behalf of the Company, I am pleased to inform you that on September 11,
1996 the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors granted you a non-
qualified stock option pursuant to the Company's 1991 Long Term Stock Incentive
Plan (the "Plan"), subject to the conditions set forth below.  This letter
states the terms of the option and contains other provisions which on your
acceptance commit the Company and you, so I urge you to read it carefully.  You
should also read the copies of the Plan and Prospectus which accompany this
Agreement.

      This option, if accepted by you, grants you the right to purchase 140,000
shares of the Company's $1.00 par value Common Stock at a price of $14 1/2 per
share, which the committee has determined is the fair market value of a share of
the Company's common stock on the date of grant as reflected by trades reported
on the New York Stock Exchange.

When the Option is Exercisable and Termination

      This option is exercisable cumulatively in installments in the following
manner:

      20% of such shares 2 years after August 20, 1996
      10% "    "     "   3 years after    "    "    "
      10% "    "     "   4 years after    "    "    "
      10% "    "     "   5 years after    "    "    "
      10% "    "     "   6 years after    "    "    "
      10% "    "     "   7 years after    "    "    "
      30% "    "     "   8 years after    "    "    "         but
                         no later than August 21, 2006

provided that on each date of exercise you qualify under the provisions of the
Plan, including Section 6(a), subparagraphs (ii) (D) and (F), to exercise such
option.  All installments of the option as above described must be exercised no
later than August 21, 2006; all unexercised

                               Page 2                  November 11, 1996

                         
installments shall lapse and the right to purchase shares pursuant to this
option shall be of no further effect after such date.  If during the option
exercise periods your employment (or consulting relationship, if applicable)
with the Company (including its subsidiaries and affiliated companies) is
terminated for any reason, the option shall terminate in accordance with Section
6 of the Plan.

      Enclosed please find (i) the Company's latest annual report and proxy
statement, (ii) Prospectus dated December 6, 1995 covering the shares which are
the subject of this option, and (iii) a copy of the Plan.  We suggest that you
review the federal income tax attributes of non-qualified stock options which
are discussed in the Prospectus.  This option does not qualify for the federal
tax benefits of an "incentive stock option" under the Internal Revenue Code, as
described in the Prospectus.

      In consideration of this Award, you agree that, with respect to all other
Awards which you have previously been granted under the Plan and awards of
options and restricted stock under all other plans of the Company and affiliated
or formerly affiliated employers, the definition of "Change in Control" set
forth in Section 6(g)(vi)(C) of the Plan shall constitute the exclusive
definition of Change in Control for purposes of such Awards.

Acceptance and Arbitration

      We agree that all of the terms and conditions of this option are reflected
in this Agreement and in the Plan, and that there are no other commitments or
understandings currently outstanding with respect to any other awards of stock
options or restricted stock except as may be evidenced by agreements duly
executed by you and the Company.

      By accepting this option you acknowledge receipt of the documents referred
to above and represent that you have read the Plan, are familiar with its
provisions, and agree to its incorporation in this option agreement and all of
the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.  Such acceptance, moreover,
evidences your agreement promptly to provide such information with respect to
shares acquired pursuant to this option as may be requested by the Company, one
of its subsidiaries or affiliated companies.

      By accepting this option you:  (a) agree to comply with the requirements
of applicable federal and other laws with respect to withholding or providing
for the payment of required taxes; (b) acknowledge that (1) all of your rights
to this option are embodied herein and in the Plan, (2) the grant and acceptance
of this option does not imply any commitment by the Company, a subsidiary or
affiliated company to your continued employment or consulting relationship and
(3) your status is that of an employee-at-will and in particular that the
Company, its subsidiary or affiliated company has a continuing right with or
without cause (unless otherwise specifically agreed to in writing) to terminate
your employment or other relationship at any time; and (c) agree that your
acceptance represents your agreement not to terminate voluntarily your current
employment (or consulting arrangement, if applicable) for at least one year from
the date of grant unless you have already agreed in writing to a longer period.

      Section 3 of the Plan provides, in part, that the committee appointed by
the Company's Board of Directors to administer the Plan shall have the authority
to interpret the Plan and award agreements, and decide all questions and settle
all controversies and disputes relating thereto.  It further provides that the
determinations, interpretations and decisions of the Committee are within its
sole discretion and are final, conclusive and binding on all persons. In
addition, it is agreed that if for any reason a claim is asserted against the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliated companies or any officer,
employee or agent of the foregoing (other than a claim involving non-competition
restrictions or the Company's, a subsidiary's or an affiliated company's trade
secrets, confidential information or intellectual property rights) which (1)
arises out of or relates to your employment with or termination of employment
from the Company, or any of its subsidiaries or affiliated companies; (2) is
premised on claims of wrongful discharge, discrimination, breach of contract, or
other civil claims; (3) subverts the provisions of Section 3 of the Plan; or (4)
involves any of the provisions of this agreement or the Plan or the provisions
of any other option agreements relating to Company common stock or restricted
stock awards or the claims of yourself or any persons to the benefits thereof,
in order to provide a more speedy and economical resolution arbitration shall be
the exclusive remedy to resolve all disputes, claims or controversies which
could be the subject of litigation involving or arising out of the Plan, this or
such other agreements or your employment. The provisions of this paragraph shall
be binding upon our respective successors, heirs, personal representatives and
designated beneficiaries, and shall supersede the provisions of any prior
agreement between you and the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliated
companies with respect to any of the Company's option or restricted stock
incentive plans to the extent the provisions of such other agreement requires
arbitration between you and your employer.  It is our mutual intention that the
arbitration award will be final and binding and that a judgment on the award may
be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The arbitrator shall be
chosen in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American
Arbitration Association and the arbitration shall be conducted at

authority shall be to apply the clauses of this Agreement.

            We agree that the provisions of the foregoing paragraph and the
decision of the arbitrator with respect to any dispute, with only the exception
provided in such paragraph, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any
alleged cause of action in any manner based upon or arising out of this
Agreement, the Plan or your employment or other relationship with the Company or
any of its subsidiaries or affiliated companies.  Subject to the foregoing
exception, we acknowledge that since arbitration is the exclusive remedy,
neither of us nor any other party asserting a claim dealing with these matters
has the right to resort to any federal, state or local court or administrative
agency concerning any matters dealt with by this Agreement and that the decision
of the arbitrator shall be a complete defense to any action or proceeding
instituted in any tribunal or agency with respect to any dispute.  The
arbitration provisions contained in this and the foregoing paragraph shall
survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement, and shall be binding on
our respective successors, personal representatives and any other party
asserting a claim based upon this Agreement. We further agree that any demand
for arbitration must be made within one year of the time any claim accrues which
you or any person claiming hereunder may have against the Company, or any of its
agents, employees, subsidiaries or affiliates; unless demand is made within such
period it is forever barred.

            This option agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in
accordance with Michigan law.

                        Restricted Stock Award Agreement
                                 March 18, 1994




Mr. Richard A. Manoogian
21001 Van Born Road
Taylor, MI   48180


Dear Mr. Manoogian:

      On behalf of the Company, I am pleased to inform you that on February 9,
1994 the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors granted you an Award
of Restricted Stock, pursuant to the Company's 1991 Long Term Stock Incentive
Plan (the "Plan"), of shares of the Company's $1.00 par value Common Stock. 
This letter states the terms of the Award and contains other provisions which on
your acceptance commit the Company and you, so I urge you to read it carefully. 
You should also read the copies of the Plan and prospectus which accompany this
Agreement.

Terms of the award:

      Shares of stock evidencing the Restricted Stock will be registered in your
name in book entry form promptly after your acceptance of this Award.  You will
be entitled to vote and receive any cash dividends on the Restricted Stock, but
you will not be able to sell, encumber or otherwise transfer the shares except
in accordance with the Plan.

      The number of shares of Restricted Stock you have been awarded is four
thousand eight hundred (4,800).

      Provided since the date of the award you have been continuously employed
or retained as a consultant by the Company or one of its subsidiaries or
affiliated companies, the restrictions on 10% of the shares will automatically
lapse on January 14, 1995 and on the same date of each year thereafter until all
shares are free of restrictions, in each case based on the initial number of
shares.  As restrictions lapse, if you are then employed or retained as a
consultant by the Company or one of its subsidiaries or affiliated companies, a
certificate for the number of shares of Restricted Stock as to which
restrictions have lapsed will be forwarded to you.

      In accordance with Section 6(c) (iv) of the Plan, if your employment (or
consulting relationship, if applicable) should be terminated by reason of your
death or permanent and total disability or if unforfeited shares of Restricted
Stock remain unvested and you should die following retirement, the restrictions
on all Restricted Stock will lapse and your rights to the shares will become
vested on the date of such termination or death and a certificate for the shares
will be forwarded to you or to the person or persons entitled to the shares.  If
you are then an employee and your employment should be terminated by reason of
retirement on or after normal retirement date (normally age 65 unless a
different date is provided at the time of your retirement under the retirement
plan of which you are a participant), such restrictions will continue to lapse
in the same manner as though your employment had not been terminated, unless
following retirement you engage in an activity which in the sole judgment of the
Committee is detrimental to the interests of the Company, a subsidiary or an
affiliated company, in which event all Restricted Stock for which restrictions
have not lapsed will be forfeited and transferred back to the Company.

      If your employment or consulting relationship with the Company or one of
its subsidiaries or affiliated companies is terminated for any reason while
restrictions remain in effect, other than a reason referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph, all Restricted Stock for which the restrictions
have not lapsed will be automatically forfeited and transferred back to the
Company.

Acceptance and arbitration:

      By accepting this Award you: (a) represent that you are familiar with the
provisions of the Plan and agree to its incorporation in this Award Agreement;
(b) agree to provide promptly such information with respect to the Restricted
Stock as may be requested by the Company, one of its subsidiaries or affiliated
companies and to comply with the requirements of applicable federal and other
laws with respect to withholding or providing for the payment of required taxes;
(c) acknowledge that (1) all of your rights to this Award are embodied herein
and in the Plan, (2) the grant and acceptance of this Award does not imply any
commitment by the Company, a subsidiary or affiliated company to your continued
employment or consulting relationship and (3) your status is that of an
employee-at-will and in particular that the Company, its subsidiary or
affiliated company has a continuing right with or without cause (unless
otherwise specifically agreed to in writing) to terminate your employment or
other relationship at any time; and (d) agree that your acceptance represents
your agreement not to terminate voluntarily your current employment (or
consulting arrangement, if applicable) for at least one year from the award date

rights) which (1) arises out of or relates to your employment with or
termination of employment from the Company, or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliated companies; (2) is premised on claims of wrongful discharge,
discrimination, breach of contract, or other civil claims; (3) subverts the
provisions of Section 3 of the Plan; or (4) involves any of the provisions of
this agreement or the Plan or the provisions of any other agreements relating to
the Company's stock or claims of any persons to the benefits thereof, in order
to provide a more speedy and economical resolution arbitration shall be the
exclusive remedy to resolve all disputes, claims or controversies which could be
the subject of litigation involving or arising out of the Plan, this agreement
or your employment.  The provisions of this paragraph shall supersede the
provisions of any prior agreement between you and the Company or its
subsidiaries or affiliated companies with respect to any of the Company's option
or restricted stock incentive plans to the extent the provisions of such other
agreement requires arbitration between you and your employer.  It is our mutual
intention that the arbitration award will be final and binding and that a
judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. 
The arbitrator shall be chosen in accordance with the commercial arbitration
rules of the American Arbitration Association and the arbitration shall be
conducted at its principal office in the Metropolitan Detroit area.

      We agree that the provisions of the preceding paragraph and the decision
of the arbitrator with respect to any dispute, with only the exceptions provided
in such paragraph, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any alleged cause
of action in any manner based upon or arising out of this Agreement, the Plan or
your employment.  Subject to such exceptions, we acknowledge that since
arbitration is the exclusive remedy, neither of us or any other party asserting
a claim dealing with those matters has the right to resort to any court or
administrative agency and that the decision of the arbitrator shall be a
complete defense to any action or proceeding instituted in any tribunal or
agency with respect to any dispute.  The arbitration provisions shall survive
the termination or expiration of this Agreement, and shall be binding on our
respect successors, heirs, personal representatives, designated beneficiaries
and any other party asserting a claim relating to the matters dealt with in this
and the preceding paragraph.

      We further agree that any demand for arbitration must be made within one
year of the time any claim accrues which you or any person claiming hereunder
may have against the Company, or any of its agents, employees, subsidiaries or
affiliates: unless demand is made within such period it is forever barred.

      This agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Michigan.

      Please complete your mailing address and social security number as

Gerald Bright, who administers the Plan, as soon as possible in order that this
Award may become effective.  Since the Restricted Stock cannot be registered in

dividend, voting and other rights will only become effective at that time, your
prompt attention and acceptance will be greatly appreciated.

      The documents above described should be returned directly to Mr. Bright.

                        Restricted Stock Award Agreement
                                February 24, 1995




Mr. Richard A. Manoogian
21001 Van Born Road
Taylor, MI 48180

Dear Mr. Manoogian:

      On behalf of the Company, I am pleased to inform you that on February 8,
1995 the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors granted you an Award
of Restricted Stock, pursuant to the Company's 1991 Long Term Stock Incentive
Plan (the "Plan"), of shares of the Company's $1.00 par value Common Stock. 
This letter states the terms of the Award and contains other provisions which on
your acceptance commit the Company and you, so I urge you to read it carefully. 
You should also read the copies of the Plan and prospectus which accompany this
Agreement.

Terms of the Award:

      Certificates for the shares of stock evidencing the Restricted Stock will
not be issued but the shares will be registered in your name in book entry form
promptly after your acceptance of this Award.  You will be entitled to vote and
receive any cash dividends (net of required tax withholding) on the Restricted
Stock, but you will not be able to obtain a stock certificate or sell, encumber
or otherwise transfer the shares except in accordance with the Plan.

      The number of shares of Restricted Stock you have been awarded is ten
thousand (10,000).

      Provided since the date of the award you have been continuously employed
or retained as a consultant by the Company or one of its subsidiaries or
affiliated companies, the restrictions on 10% of the shares will automatically
lapse on January 14, 1996 and on the same date of each year thereafter until all
shares are free of restrictions, in each case based on the initial number of
shares.  As restrictions lapse, if you are then employed or retained as a
consultant by the Company or one of its subsidiaries or affiliated companies, a
certificate for the number of shares of Restricted Stock as to which
restrictions have lapsed will be forwarded to you.

















<PAGE>
                                 Page 2                    February 24, 1995


      In accordance with Section 6(c)(iv) of the Plan, if your employment (or
consulting relationship, if applicable) should be terminated by reason of your
death or permanent and total disability or if unforfeited shares of Restricted
Stock remain unvested and you should die following retirement, the restrictions
on all Restricted Stock will lapse and your rights to the shares will become
vested on the date of such termination or death and a certificate for the shares
will be forwarded to you or to the person or persons entitled to the shares.  If
you are then an employee and your employment should be terminated by reason of
retirement on or after normal retirement date (normally age 65 unless a
different date is provided at the time of your retirement under the retirement
plan of which you are a participant), such restrictions will continue to lapse
in the same manner as though your employment had not been terminated, unless
following retirement you engage in an activity which in the sole judgment of the
Committee is detrimental to the interests of the Company, a subsidiary or an
affiliated company, in which event all Restricted Stock for which restrictions
have not lapsed will be forfeited and transferred back to the Company.

      If your employment or consulting relationship with the Company or one of
its subsidiaries or affiliated companies is terminated for any reason while
restrictions remain in effect, other than a reason referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph, all Restricted Stock for which the restrictions
have not lapsed will be automatically forfeited and transferred back to the
Company.

Acceptance and arbitration:

      By accepting this Award you:  (a) represent that you are familiar with the
provisions of the Plan and agree to its incorporation in this Award Agreement;
(b) agree to provide promptly such information with respect to the Restricted
Stock as may be requested by the Company, one of its subsidiaries or affiliated
companies and to comply with the requirements of applicable federal and other
laws with respect to withholding or providing for the payment of required taxes;
(c) acknowledge that (1) all of your rights to this Award are embodied herein
and in the Plan, (2) the grant and acceptance of this Award does not imply any
commitment by the Company, a subsidiary or affiliated company to your continued
employment or consulting relationship and (3) your status, if you are an
employee, is that of an employee-at-will and in particular that the Company, its
subsidiary or affiliated company has a continuing right with or without cause
(unless otherwise specifically agreed to in writing) to terminate your
employment or consulting or other relationship at any time; and (d) agree that
your acceptance represents your agreement not to terminate voluntarily your
current employment (or consulting arrangement, if applicable) for at least one
year from the award date unless you have already agreed in writing to a longer
period.

competition restrictions or the Company's, a subsidiary's or an affiliated
company's trade secrets, confidential information or intellectual property
rights) which (1) arises out of or relates to your employment or consulting or
other relationship with or termination of employment or consulting or other
relationship with the Company, or any of its subsidiaries or affiliated
companies; (2) is premised on claims of wrongful discharge, discrimination,
breach of contract, or other civil claims; (3) subverts the provisions of
Section 3 of the Plan; or (4) involves any of the provisions of this agreement
or the Plan or the provisions of any other agreements relating to the Company's
stock or claims of  any persons to the benefits thereof, in order to provide a
more speedy and economical resolution arbitration shall be the exclusive remedy
to resolve all disputes, claims or controversies which could be the subject of
litigation involving or arising out of the Plan, this agreement or your
employment.  The provisions of this paragraph shall supersede the provisions of
any prior agreement between you and the Company or its subsidiaries or
affiliated companies with respect to any of the Company's option or restricted
stock incentive plans to the extent the provisions of such other agreement

            We agree that the provisions of the preceding paragraph and the
decision of the arbitrator with respect to any dispute, with only the exceptions
provided in such paragraph, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any
alleged cause of action in any manner based upon or arising out of this
Agreement, the Plan or your employment or consulting relationship with the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliated companies.  Subject to such
exceptions, we acknowledge that since arbitration is the exclusive remedy,
neither of us nor any other party asserting a claim dealing with those matters
has the right to resort to any court or administrative agency and that the
decision of the arbitrator shall be a complete defense to any action or
proceeding instituted in any tribunal or agency with respect to any dispute. 
The arbitration provisions shall survive the termination or expiration of this
Agreement, and shall be binding on our respective successors, heirs, personal
representatives, designated beneficiaries and any other party asserting a claim
relating to the matters dealt with in this and the preceding paragraph.

one year of the time any claim accrues which you or any person claiming
hereunder may have against the Company, or any of its agents, employees,
subsidiaries or affiliates:  unless demand is made within such period it is

                        Restricted Stock Award Agreement
                                November 11, 1996


Mr. Richard A. Manoogian
21001 Van Born Road
Taylor, MI 48180

Dear Mr. Manoogian:

            On behalf of the Company, I am pleased to inform you that on August
20, 1996 the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors granted you an
Award of Restricted Stock, pursuant to the Company's 1991 Long Term Stock
Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), of shares of the Company's $1.00 par value Common
Stock.  This letter states the terms of the Award and contains other provisions
which on your acceptance commit the Company and you, so I urge you to read it
carefully.  You should also read the copies of the Plan and Prospectus which
accompany this Agreement.  For purposes of this Agreement, use of the words
"employment" or "employed" shall be deemed to refer to employment by the Company
and its subsidiaries and affiliated companies.

Terms of the Award:

            Certificates for the shares of stock evidencing the Restricted Stock
will not be issued but the shares will be registered in your name in book entry
form promptly after your acceptance of this Award.  You will be entitled to vote
and receive any cash dividends (net of required tax withholding) on the
Restricted Stock, but you will not be able to obtain a stock certificate or
sell, encumber or otherwise transfer the shares except in accordance with the
Plan.

            The number of shares of Restricted Stock you have been awarded is
forty five thousand (45,000).

            Provided since the date of the Award you have been continuously
employed or retained as a consultant by the Company or one of its subsidiaries
or affiliated companies, the restrictions on 10% of the shares will
automatically lapse on July 1, 1997 and on the same date of each year thereafter
until all shares are free of restrictions, in each case based on the initial
number of shares.



















<PAGE>

                               Page 2                        November 11, 1996


            In accordance with Section 6(c)(iv) of the Plan, if your employment
(or consulting relationship, if applicable) should be terminated by reason of
your death or permanent and total disability or if unforfeited shares of
Restricted Stock remain unvested and you should die following retirement, the
restrictions on all Restricted Stock will lapse and your rights to the shares
will become vested on the date of such termination or death.  If you are then an
employee and your employment should be terminated by reason of retirement on or
after your attaining age 65, such restrictions will continue to lapse in the
same manner as though your employment had not been terminated.

            As restrictions lapse, a certificate for the number of shares of
Restricted Stock as to which restrictions have lapsed will be forwarded to you
or the person or persons entitled to the shares.

            If your employment or consulting relationship with the Company or
one of its subsidiaries or affiliated companies is terminated for any reason
while restrictions remain in effect, other than a reason referred to in the
second preceding paragraph above, all Restricted Stock for which the
restrictions have not lapsed will be automatically forfeited to the Company.

            Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you at any time engage in an
activity following your termination of employment which in the sole judgment of
the Committee is detrimental to the interests of the Company, a subsidiary or
affiliated company, all Restricted Stock for which restrictions have not lapsed
will be forfeited to the Company.

Other Terms, and Acceptance and Arbitration:

            We agree that all of the terms and conditions of the Award are
reflected in this Agreement and in the Plan, and that there are no other
commitments or understandings currently outstanding with respect to any other
awards of restricted stock or stock options except as may be evidenced by
agreements duly executed by you and the Company.

            Further, in consideration of this Award and by the acceptance
thereof, you agree that, with respect to all other Awards which you have
previously been granted under the Plan and awards of options and restricted
stock under other plans of the Company and affiliated or formerly affiliated
employers, the definition of "Change in Control" set forth in Section
6(g)(vi)(C) of the Plan shall constitute the exclusive definition of Change in
Control for purposes of such Awards.

            By accepting this Award you:  (a) represent that you are familiar
with the provisions of the Plan and agree to its incorporation in this Award
Agreement; (b) agree to provide promptly such information with respect to the
Restricted Stock as may be requested by the Company and to comply with the
requirements of applicable federal and other laws with respect to withholding or
providing for the payment of required taxes; (c) acknowledge that (1) all of
your rights to this Award are embodied herein and in the Plan, (2) the grant and
acceptance of this Award does not imply any commitment by the Company to your
continued employment and (3) your status is that of an employee-at-will and in
particular that the Company or its subsidiary or affiliated company has a
continuing right with or without cause (unless otherwise specifically agreed to
in writing) to terminate your employment or other relationship at any time; and
(d) agree that your acceptance represents your agreement not to terminate
voluntarily your current employment for at least one year from the award date
unless you have already agreed in writing to a longer period.

            Section 3 of the Plan provides in part, that the committee appointed
by the Company's Board of Directors to administer the Plan shall have the
authority to interpret the Plan and any award agreements, and decide all
questions and settle all controversies and disputes relating thereto.  It
further provides that the determinations, interpretations and decisions of the
Committee are within its sole discretion and are final, conclusive and binding
on all persons.  In addition, it is agreed that if for any reason a claim is
asserted against the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliated companies
or any officer, employee or agent of the foregoing (other than a claim involving
non-competition restrictions or the Company's, a subsidiary's or an affiliated
company's trade secrets, confidential information or intellectual property
rights) which (1) arises out of or relates to your employment with or
termination of employment from the Company; (2) is premised on claims of
wrongful discharge, discrimination, breach of contract, or other civil claims;
(3) subverts the provisions of Section 3 of the Plan; or (4) involves any of the
provisions of this agreement or the Plan or the provisions of any other
agreements relating to the Company's stock or claims of yourself or any persons
to the benefits thereof, in order to provide a more speedy and economical
resolution arbitration shall be the exclusive remedy to resolve all disputes,
claims or controversies which could be the subject of litigation involving or
arising out of the Plan, this or such other agreements or your employment.  The
provisions of this

paragraph shall be binding upon our respective successors, heirs, personal
representatives and designated beneficiaries, and shall supersede the provisions
of any prior agreement between you and the Company or its subsidiaries or
affiliated companies with respect to any of the Company's option or restricted
stock incentive plans to the extent the provisions of such other agreement
requires arbitration between you and your employer.  It is our mutual intention

award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The arbitrator
shall be chosen in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the
American Arbitration Association and the arbitration shall be conducted at its
principal office in the Metropolitan Detroit area.  The arbitrator's sole
authority shall be to apply the clauses of this Agreement.

            We agree that the provisions of the preceding paragraph and the
decision of the arbitrator with respect to any dispute, with only the exceptions
provided in such paragraph, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any
alleged cause of action in any manner based upon or arising out of this
Agreement, the Plan or your employment or consulting relationship with the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliated companies.  Subject to the
foregoing exception, we acknowledge that since arbitration is the exclusive
remedy, neither of us nor any other party asserting a claim dealing with those
matters has the right to resort to any court or administrative agency concerning
matters dealt with by this Agreement and that the decision of the arbitrator
shall be a complete defense to any action or proceeding instituted in any
tribunal or agency with respect to any dispute.  The arbitration provisions
contained in this and the foregoing and following paragraph shall survive the
termination or expiration of this Agreement, and shall be binding on our
respective successors, personal representatives, and any other party asserting a
claim based upon this Agreement.

            We further agree that any demand for arbitration must be made within
one year of the time any claim accrues which you or any person claiming
hereunder may have against the Company, or any of its agents, employees,
subsidiaries or affiliates:  unless demand is made within such period it is
forever barred.

            This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance

            Please complete your mailing address and social security number as
indicated below, sign, date and return two copies of this Award Agreement to the
undersigned as soon as possible in order that this Award may become effective. 
Since the Restricted Stock cannot be registered in your name until we receive
the signed copies of this Agreement, and since dividend, voting and other rights
will only become effective at that time, your prompt attention and acceptance
will be greatly appreciated.

                                          Very truly yours,

<PAGE>

      (xiii) delegate to directors of the Company who need not be "disinterested

Section 4. Shares Available for Awards

      (a)  Shares Available.  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(b):

            (i)  Initial Authorization.  There shall be 6,000,000 Shares
      initially available for issuance under the Plan.

            (ii)  Acquired Shares.  In addition to the amount set forth above,
      up to 6,000,000 Shares acquired by the Company subsequent to the
      effectiveness of the Plan as full or partial payment for the exercise
      price for an Option or any other stock option granted by the Company, or
      acquired by the Company, in open market transactions or otherwise, in
      connection with the Plan or any Award hereunder or any other employee
      stock option or restricted stock issued by the Company may thereafter be
      included in the Shares available for Awards. If any Shares covered by an
      Award or to which an Award relates are forfeited, or if an Award expires,
      terminates or is cancelled, then the Shares covered by such Award, or to
      which such Award relates, or the number of Shares otherwise counted
      against the aggregate number of Shares available under the Plan by reason
      of such Award, to the extent of any such forfeiture, expiration,
      termination or cancellation, may thereafter be available for further
      granting of Awards and included as acquired Shares for purposes of the
      preceding sentence.

            (iii)  Additional Shares.  Shares acquired by the Company in the
      circumstances set forth in (ii) above in excess of the amount set forth
      therein may thereafter be included in the Shares available for Awards to
      the extent permissible for 






                                       - 4 -




<PAGE>

      purposes of allowing the Plan to continue to satisfy the conditions of
      Rule 16b-3.

            (iv)  Shares Under Prior Plans.  In addition to the amount set forth
      above, shares remaining available for issuance upon any termination of
      authority to make further awards under both the Company's 1984 Restricted
      Stock Incentive Plan and its 1984 Stock Option Plan shall thereafter be
      available for issuance hereunder.

            (v)  Accounting for Awards.  For purposes of this Section 4,

                  (A) if an Award (other than a Dividend Equivalent) is
            denominated in Shares, the number of Shares covered by such Award,
            or to which such Award relates, shall be counted on the date of
            grant of such Award against the aggregate number of Shares available
            for granting Awards under the Plan to the extent determinable on
            such date and insofar as the number of Shares is not then
            determinable under procedures adopted by the Committee consistent
            with the purposes of the Plan; and

                  (B) Dividend Equivalents and Awards not denominated in Shares
            shall be counted against the aggregate number of Shares available
            for granting Awards under the Plan in such amount and at such time
            as the Committee shall determine under procedures adopted by the
            Committee consistent with the purposes of the Plan;

      provided, however, that Awards that operate in tandem with (whether
      granted simultaneously with or at a different time from), or that are
      substituted for, other Awards or restricted stock awards or stock options
      granted under any other plan of the Company may be counted or not counted
      under procedures adopted by the Committee in order to avoid double
      counting. Any Shares that are delivered by the Company or its Affiliates,
      and any Awards that are granted by, or become obligations of, the Company,
      through the assumption by the Company of, or in substitution for,
      outstanding restricted stock awards or stock options previously granted by
      an acquired company shall not, except in the case of Awards granted to
      Participants who are directors or officers of the Company for purposes of
      Section 16, be counted against the Shares available for granting Awards
      under the Plan.

            (vi)  Sources of Shares Deliverable Under Awards.  Any Shares
      delivered pursuant to an Award may consist, in whole or in part, of
      authorized but unissued Shares or of Shares reacquired by the Company,
      including but not limited to Shares purchased on the open market.








                                        - 5 -

      (b)  Adjustments.  Upon the occurrence of any dividend or other
distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities or other
property), change in the capital or shares of capital stock, recapitalization,
stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-
up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities
of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other
securities of the Company or extraordinary transaction or event which affects
the Shares, then the Committee shall have the authority to make such adjustment,
if any, in such manner as it deems appropriate, in (i) the number and type of
Shares (or other securities or property) which thereafter may be made the
subject of Awards, (ii) outstanding Awards including without limitation the
number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) subject thereto, and
(iii) the grant, purchase or exercise price with respect to outstanding Awards
and, if deemed appropriate, make provision for cash payments to the holders of
outstanding Awards; provided, however,  that the number of Shares subject to any
Award denominated in Shares shall always be a whole number.


Section 5. Eligibility

      Any employee of or consultant to the Company or any Affiliate, including
any officer of the Company (who may also be a director, but excluding a member
of the Committee, any person who serves only as a director of the Company and
any consultant to the Company or an Affiliate who is also a director of the
Company and who is not rendering services pursuant to a written agreement with
the entity in question), as may be selected from time to time by the Committee
or by the directors to whom authority may be delegated pursuant to Section 3
hereof in its or their discretion, is eligible to be designated a Participant.


Section 6. Awards

      (a)  Options.  The Committee is authorized to grant Options to
Participants.

            (i)  Committee Determinations.  Subject to the terms of the Plan,
      the Committee shall determine:

                  (A) the purchase price per Share under each Option;

                  (B) the term of each Option; and

                  (C) the time or times at which an Option may be exercised, in
            whole or in part, the method or methods by which and the form or
            forms (including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other Awards or
            other property, 






                                        

                                        - 6 -


<PAGE>

            or any combination thereof, having a fair market value on the
            exercise date equal to the relevant exercise price) in which payment
            of the exercise price with respect thereto may be made or deemed to
            have been made. The terms of any Incentive Stock Option granted
            under the Plan shall comply in all respects with the provisions of
            Section 422 of the Code, or any successor provision thereto, and any
            regulations promulgated thereunder.

      Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee may impose such conditions
      or restrictions on any Option as it deems appropriate.

            (ii)  Other Terms.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee:

                  (A) A Participant electing to exercise an Option shall give
            written notice to the Company, as may be specified by the Committee,
            of exercise of the Option and the number of Shares elected for
            exercise, such notice to be accompanied by such instruments or
            documents as may be required by the Committee, and shall tender the
            purchase price of the Shares elected for exercise.

                  (B) At the time of exercise of an Option payment in full in
            cash shall be made for all Shares then being purchased.

                  (C) The Company shall not be obligated to issue any Shares
            unless and until:

                        (I) if the class of Shares at the time is listed upon
                  any stock exchange, the Shares to be issued have been listed,
                  or authorized to be added to the list upon official notice of
                  issuance, upon such exchange, and

                        (II) in the opinion of the Company's counsel there has
                  been compliance with applicable law in connection with the
                  issuance and delivery of Shares and such issuance shall have
                  been approved by the Company's counsel.

                  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company
            may require from the Participant such investment representation or
            such agreement, if any, as the Company's counsel may consider
            necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act of 1933 as then
            in effect, and may require that the Participant agree that any sale
            of the Shares will be made only in such manner as shall be in accor-
            dance with law and that the Participant will notify the Company of
            any intent to make any disposition 







                                        - 7 -





<PAGE>

            of the Shares whether by sale, gift or otherwise. The Participant
            shall take any action reasonably requested by the Company in such
            connection. A Participant shall have the rights of a stockholder
            only as and when Shares have been actually issued to the Participant
            pursuant to the Plan.

                  (D) If the employment of or consulting arrangement with a
            Participant terminates for any reason (including termination by
            reason of the fact that an entity is no longer an Affiliate) other
            than the Participant's death, the Participant may thereafter
            exercise the Option as provided below, except that the Committee may
            terminate the unexercised portion of the Option concurrently with or
            at any time following termination of the employment or consulting
            arrangement (including termination of employment upon a change of
            status from employee to consultant) if it shall determine that the
            Participant has engaged in any activity detrimental to the interests
            of the Company or an Affiliate. If such termination is voluntary on
            the part of the Participant, the option may be exercised only within
            ten days after the date of termination. If such termination is
            involuntary on the part of the Participant, if an employee retires
            on or after normal retirement date or if the employment or
            consulting relationship is terminated by reason of permanent and
            total disability, the Option may be exercised within three months
            after the date of termination or retirement. For purposes of this
            Paragraph (D), a Participant's employment or consulting arrangement
            shall not be considered terminated (i) in the case of approved sick
            leave or other bona fide leave of absence (not to exceed one year),
            (ii) in the case of a transfer of employment or the consulting ar-
            rangement among the Company and Affiliates, or (iii) by virtue of a
            change of status from employee to consultant or from consultant to
            employee, except as provided above.

                  (E) If a Participant dies at a time when entitled to exercise
            an Option, then at any time or times within one year after death
            such Option may be exercised, as to all or any of the Shares which
            the Participant was entitled to purchase immediately prior to death.
            The Company may decline to deliver Shares to a designated
            beneficiary until it receives indemnity against claims of third
            parties satisfactory to the Company. Except as so exercised such
            Option shall expire at the end of such period.

                  (F) An Option may be exercised only if and to the extent such
            Option was exercisable at the date of termination of employment or
            the consulting arrangement, 







                                        - 8 -





<PAGE>

            and an Option may not be exercised at a time when the Option would
            not have been exercisable had the employment or consulting
            arrangement continued.

            (iii)  Restoration Options.  The Committee may grant a Participant
      the right to receive a restoration Option with respect to an Option or any
      other option granted by the Company.  Unless the Committee shall otherwise
      determine, a restoration Option shall provide that the underlying option
      must be exercised while the Participant is an employee of or consultant to
      the Company or an Affiliate and the number of Shares which are subject to
      a restoration Option shall not exceed the number of whole Shares exchanged
      in payment of the original option.

      (b)  Stock Appreciation Rights.  The Committee is authorized to grant
Stock Appreciation Rights to Participants. Subject to the terms of the Plan, a
Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall confer on the holder
thereof a right to receive, upon exercise thereof, the excess of (i) the fair
market value of one Share on the date of exercise or, if the Committee shall so
determine in the case of any such right other than one related to any Incentive
Stock Option, at any time during a specified period before or after the date of
exercise over (ii) the grant price of the right as specified by the Committee.
Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall determine the grant price,
term, methods of exercise and settlement and any other terms and conditions of
any Stock Appreciation Right and may impose such conditions or restrictions on
the exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right as it may deem appropriate.

      (c)  Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.

            (i)  Issuance.  The Committee is authorized to grant to Participants
      Awards of Restricted Stock, which shall consist of Shares, and Restricted
      Stock Units which shall give the Participant the right to receive cash,
      other securities, other Awards or other property, in each case subject to
      the termination of the Restricted Period determined by the Committee.

            (ii)  Restrictions.  The Restricted Period may differ among
      Participants and may have different expiration dates with respect to
      portions of Shares covered by the same Award.  Subject to the terms of the
      Plan, Awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall have
      such restrictions as the Committee may impose (including, without
      limitation, limitations on the right to vote Restricted Stock or the right
      to receive any dividend or other right or property), which restrictions
      may lapse separately or in combination at such time or times, in
      installments or otherwise. Unless the Committee shall otherwise determine,
      any Shares or other 








                                        - 9 -




<PAGE>

      securities distributed with respect to Restricted Stock or which a
      Participant is otherwise entitled to receive by reason of such Shares
      shall be subject to the restrictions contained in the applicable Award
      Agreement. Subject to the aforementioned restrictions and the provisions
      of the Plan, Participants shall have all of the rights of a stockholder
      with respect to Shares of Restricted Stock.

            (iii)  Registration.  Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be
      evidenced in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate, including,
      without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of stock certifi-
      cates.

            (iv)  Forfeiture.  Except as otherwise determined by the Committee:

                  (A) If the employment of or consulting arrangement with a
            Participant terminates for any reason (including termination by
            reason of the fact that any entity is no longer an Affiliate), other
            than the Participant's death or permanent and total disability or,
            in the case of an employee, retirement on or after normal retirement
            date, all Shares of Restricted Stock theretofore awarded to the
            Participant which are still subject to restrictions shall upon such
            termination of employment or the consulting relationship be
            forfeited and transferred back to the Company. Notwithstanding the
            foregoing or Paragraph (C) below, if a Participant continues to hold
            an Award of Restricted Stock following termination of the employment
            or consulting arrangement (including retirement and termination of
            employment upon a change of status from employee to consultant), the
            Shares of Restricted Stock which remain subject to restrictions
            shall nonetheless be forfeited and transferred back to the Company
            if the Committee at any time thereafter determines that the
            Participant has engaged in any activity detrimental to the interests
            of the Company or an Affiliate. For purposes of this Paragraph (A),
            a Participant's employment or consulting arrangement shall not be
            considered terminated (i) in the case of approved sick leave or
            other bona fide leave of absence (not to exceed one year), (ii) in
            the case of a transfer of employment or the consulting arrangement
            among the Company and Affiliates, or (iii) by virtue of a change of
            status from employee to consultant or from consultant to employee,
            except as provided above.

                  (B) If a Participant ceases to be employed or retained by the
            Company or an Affiliate by reason of death or permanent and total
            disability or if following retirement a Participant continues to
            have rights under an Award of Restricted Stock and thereafter dies,
            the 






                                        - 10 -





<PAGE>

            restrictions contained in the Award shall lapse with respect to such
            Restricted Stock.

                  (C) If an employee ceases to be employed by the Company or an
            Affiliate by reason of retirement on or after normal retirement
            date, the restrictions contained in the Award of Restricted Stock
            shall continue to lapse in the same manner as though employment had
            not terminated.

                  (D) At the expiration of the Restricted Period as to Shares
            covered by an Award of Restricted Stock, the Company shall deliver
            the Shares as to which the Restricted Period has expired, as
            follows:

                        (1) if an assignment to a trust has been made in
                  accordance with Section 6(g)(iv)(B)(2)(c), to such trust; or 

                        (2) if the Restricted Period has expired by reason of
                  death and a beneficiary has been designated in form approved
                  by the Company, to the beneficiary so designated; or

                        (3) in all other cases, to the Participant or the legal
                  representative of the Participant's estate.

      (d)  Performance Awards.  The Committee is authorized to grant Performance
Awards to Participants. Subject to the terms of the Plan, a Performance Award
granted under the Plan (i) may be denominated or payable in cash, Shares
(including, without limitation, Restricted Stock), other securities, other
Awards, or other property and (ii) shall confer on the holder thereof rights
valued as determined by the Committee and payable to, or exercisable by, the
holder of the Performance Award, in whole or in part, upon the achievement of
such performance goals during such performance periods as the Committee shall
establish. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the performance goals to be
achieved during any performance period, the length of any performance period,
the amount of any Performance Award granted, the amount of any payment or
transfer to be made pursuant to any Performance Award and other terms and
conditions shall be determined by the Committee.

      (e)  Dividend Equivalents.  The Committee is authorized to grant to
Participants Awards under which the holders thereof shall be entitled to receive
payments equivalent to dividends or interest with respect to a number of Shares
determined by the Committee, and the Committee may provide that such amounts (if
any) shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares or otherwise
reinvested. Subject to the terms of the Plan, such Awards may have such terms
and conditions as the Committee shall determine.

<PAGE>

      (f)  Other Stock-Based Awards.  The Committee is authorized to grant to
Participants such other Awards that are denominated or payable in, valued in
whole or in part by reference to or otherwise based on or related to Shares
(including, without limitation, securities convertible into Shares), as are
deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan,
provided, however,  that such grants to persons who are subject to Section 16
must comply with the provisions of Rule 16b-3. Subject to the terms of the Plan,
the Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards. Shares or
other securities delivered pursuant to a purchase right granted under this
Section 6(f) shall be purchased for such consideration, which may be paid by
such method or methods and in such form or forms, including, without limitation,
cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property or any
combination thereof, as the Committee shall determine.

      (g)  General.

            (i)  No Cash Consideration for Awards.  Awards may be granted for no
      cash consideration or for such minimal cash consideration as may be
      required by applicable law.

            (ii)  Awards May Be Granted Separately or Together.  Awards may, in
      the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition
      to, in tandem with or in substitution for any other Award or any award
      granted under any other plan of the Company or any Affiliate. Awards
      granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards or in addition to or
      in tandem with awards granted under another plan of the Company or any
      Affiliate, may be granted either at the same time as or at a different
      time from the grant of such other Awards or awards.

            (iii)  Forms of Payment Under Awards.  Subject to the terms of the
      Plan and of any applicable Award Agreement, payments or transfers to be
      made by the Company or an Affiliate upon the grant, exercise, or payment
      of an Award may be made in such form or forms as the Committee shall
      determine, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other securities,
      other Awards, or other property, or any combination thereof, and may be
      made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred
      basis, in each case in accordance with rules and procedures established by
      the Committee. Such rules and procedures may include, without limitation,
      provisions for the payment or crediting of reasonable interest on
      installment or deferred payments or the grant or crediting of Dividend
      Equivalents in respect of installment or deferred payments.

            (iv)  Limits on Transfer of Awards.

                  (A) Except as the Committee may otherwise determine, no Award
            or right under any Award may be sold, encumbered, pledged,
            alienated, attached, assigned or transferred in any manner and any
            attempt to do any of the foregoing shall be void and unenforceable
            against the Company.

                  (B) Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph (A) above:

                        (1) An Option may be transferred:

                             (a) to a beneficiary designated by the Participant
                        in writing on a form approved by the Committee; or

                             (b) by will or the applicable laws of descent and
                        distribution to the personal representative, executor or
                        administrator of the Participant's estate.

                        (2) A Participant may assign or transfer rights under an
                  Award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units:

                             (a) to a beneficiary designated by the Participant
                        in writing on a form approved by the Committee;

                             (b) by will or the applicable laws of descent and
                        distribution to the personal representative, executor or
                        administrator of the Participant's estate; or

                             (c) to a revocable grantor trust established by the
                        Participant for the sole benefit of the Participant
                        during the Participant's life, and under the terms of
                        which the Participant is and remains the sole trustee
                        until death or physical or mental incapacity. Such
                        assignment shall be effected by a written instrument in
                        form and content satisfactory to the Committee, and the
                        Participant shall deliver to the Committee a true copy
                        of the agreement or other document evidencing such
                        trust. If in the judgment of the Committee the trust to
                        which a Participant may attempt to assign rights under
                        such an Award does not meet the criteria of a trust to
                        which an assignment is permitted by the terms 











                                        - 13 -



<PAGE>

                        hereof, or if after assignment, because of amendment, by
                        force of law or any other reason such trust no longer
                        meets such criteria, such attempted assignment shall be
                        void and may be disregarded by the Committee and the
                        Company and all rights to any such Awards shall revert
                        to and remain solely in the Participant. Notwithstanding
                        a qualified assignment, the Participant, and not the
                        trust to which rights under such an Award may be
                        assigned, for the purpose of determining compensation
                        arising by reason of the Award shall continue to be
                        considered an employee or consultant, as the case may
                        be, of the Company or an Affiliate, but such trust and
                        the Participant shall be bound by all of the terms and
                        conditions of the Award Agreement and this Plan. Shares
                        issued in the name of and delivered to such trust shall
                        be conclusively considered issuance and delivery to the
                        Participant.

                        (3) The Committee shall not permit directors or officers
                  of the Company for purposes of Section 16 to transfer or
                  assign Awards except as permitted under Rule 16b-3.

                  (C) The Committee, the Company and its officers, agents and
            employees may rely upon any beneficiary designation, assignment or
            other instrument of transfer, copies of trust agreements and any
            other documents delivered to them by or on behalf of the Participant
            which they believe genuine and any action taken by them in reliance
            thereon shall be conclusive and binding upon the Participant, the
            personal representatives of the Participant's estate and all persons
            asserting a claim based on an Award. The delivery by a Participant
            of a beneficiary designation, or an assignment of rights under an
            Award as permitted hereunder, shall constitute the Participant's
            irrevocable undertaking to hold the Committee, the Company and its
            officers, agents and employees harmless against claims, including
            any cost or expense incurred in defending against claims, of any
            person (including the Participant) which may be asserted or alleged
            to be based on an Award subject to a beneficiary designation or an
            assignment. In addition, the Company may decline to deliver Shares
            to a beneficiary until it receives indemnity against claims of third
            parties satisfactory to the Company.

            (v)  Share Certificates.  All certificates for Shares or other
      securities delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise
      thereof shall be subject to such stop 








                                       - 14 -




<PAGE>

      transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable
      under the Plan or the rules, regulations and other requirements of the
      Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which such
      Shares or other securities are then listed and any applicable Federal or
      state securities laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to
      be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such
      restrictions.

            (vi)  Change in Control.  (A) Notwithstanding any of the provisions
      of this Plan or instruments evidencing Awards granted hereunder, upon a
      Change in Control of the Company (as hereinafter defined) the vesting of
      all rights of Participants under outstanding Awards shall be accelerated
      and all restrictions thereon shall terminate in order that Participants
      may fully realize the benefits thereunder. Such acceleration shall
      include, without limitation, the immediate exercisability in full of all
      Options and the termination of restrictions on Restricted Stock and
      Restricted Stock Units. Further, in addition to the Committee's authority
      set forth in Section 4(b), the Committee, as constituted before such
      Change in Control, is authorized, and has sole discretion, as to any
      Award, either at the time such Award is made hereunder or any time
      thereafter, to take any one or more of the following actions: (i) provide
      for the purchase of any such Award, upon the Participant's request, for an
      amount of cash equal to the amount that could have been attained upon the
      exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant's rights had such
      Award been currently exercisable or payable; (ii) make such adjustment to
      any such Award then outstanding as the Committee deems appropriate to
      reflect such Change in Control; and (iii) cause any such Award then
      outstanding to be assumed, or new rights substituted therefor, by the
      acquiring or surviving corporation after such Change in Control.

            (B) With respect to any Award granted hereunder prior to December 6,
      1995, a Change in Control shall occur if:

                  (1) any "person" or "group of persons" as such terms are used
            in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act, other than pursuant
            to a transaction or agreement previously approved by the Board of
            Directors of the Company, directly or indirectly purchases or
            otherwise becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3
            under the Exchange Act) or has the right to acquire such beneficial
            ownership (whether or not such right is exercisable immediately,
            with the passage of time, or subject to any condition) of voting
            securities representing 25 percent or more of the combined voting
            power of all outstanding voting securities of (A) the Company or (B)
            of Masco Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Masco"); or

<PAGE>

                  (2) during any period of twenty-four consecutive calendar
            months, the individuals who at the beginning of such period
            constitute the Company's or Masco's Board of Directors, and any new
            directors whose election by such Board or nomination for election by
            stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the
            members of such Board who were either directors on such Board at the
            beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election
            as directors was previously so approved, for any reason cease to
            constitute at least a majority of the members thereof.

            (C)   Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (B), with
      respect to Awards granted hereunder on or after December 6, 1995, a Change
      in Control shall occur only if the event described in this subparagraph
      (C) shall have occurred.  With respect to any other Award granted prior
      thereto, a Change in Control shall occur if any of the events described in
      subparagraphs (B) or (C) shall have occurred, unless the holder of any
      such Award shall have consented to the application of this subparagraph
      (C) in lieu of the foregoing subparagraph (B).  A Change in Control for
      purposes of this subparagraph (C) shall occur if, during any period of
      twenty-four consecutive calendar months, the individuals who at the
      beginning of such period constitute the Company's Board of Directors, and
      any new directors (other than Excluded Directors, as hereinafter defined),
      whose election by such Board or nomination for election by stockholders
      was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the members of such Board
      who were either directors on such Board at the beginning of the period or
      whose election or nomination for election as directors was previously so
      approved, for any reason cease to constitute at least a majority of the
      members thereof.  For purposes hereof, "Excluded Directors" are directors
      whose election by the Board or approval by the Board for stockholder
      election occurred within one year of any "person" or "group of persons",
      as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act,
      commencing a tender offer for, or becoming the beneficial owner of, voting
      securities representing 25 percent or more of the combined voting power of
      all outstanding voting securities of the Company, other than pursuant to a
      tender offer approved by the Board prior to its commencement or pursuant
      to stock acquisitions approved by the Board prior to their representing 25
      percent or more of such combined voting power.

            (D)   (1)   In the event that subsequent to a Change in Control it
      is determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for
      the benefit of a Participant, whether paid or payable or distributed or
      distributable pursuant to the terms of this Plan or otherwise, other than
      any payment pursuant to this subparagraph (D) (a "Payment"), would be









                                       - 16 -




<PAGE>

      subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any
      interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax,
      together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter
      collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then such Participant shall
      be entitled to receive from the Company, within 15 days following the
      determination described in (2) below, an additional payment ("Excise Tax
      Adjustment Payment") in an amount such that after payment by such
      Participant of all applicable Federal, state and local taxes (computed at
      the maximum marginal rates and including any interest or penalties imposed
      with respect to such taxes), including any Excise Tax, imposed upon the
      Excise Tax Adjustment Payment, such Participant retains an amount of the
      Excise Tax Adjustment Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the
      Payments.

                  
                  (2)   All determinations required to be made under this
      Section 6(g)(vi)(D), including whether an Excise Tax Adjustment Payment is
      required and the amount of such Excise Tax Adjustment Payment, shall be
      made by Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P., or such other national accounting firm
      as the Company, or, subsequent to a Change in Control, the Company and the
      Participant jointly, may designate, for purposes of the Excise Tax, which
      shall provide detailed supporting calculations to the Company and the
      affected Participant within 15 business days of the date of the applicable
      Payment.  Except as hereinafter provided, any determination by Coopers &
      Lybrand L.L.P., or such other national accounting firm, shall be binding
      upon the Company and the Participant.  As a result of the uncertainty in
      the application of Section 4999 of the Code that may exist at the time of
      the initial determination hereunder, it is possible that (x) certain
      Excise Tax Adjustment Payments will not have been made by the Company
      which should have been made (an "Underpayment"), or (y) certain Excise Tax
      Adjustment Payments will have been made which should not have been made
      (an "Overpayment"), consistent with the calculations required to be made
      hereunder.  In the event of an Underpayment, such Underpayment shall be
      promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the affected
      Participant.  In the event that the Participant discovers that an
      Overpayment shall have occurred, the amount thereof shall be promptly
      repaid to the Company.

                  (3)   This Section 6(g)(vi)(D) shall not apply to any Award
      (x) that was granted prior to February 17, 1993 and (y) the holder of
      which is an executive officer of the Company, as determined under the
      Exchange Act.

            (vii)  Cash Settlement.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan
      or of any Award Agreement to the contrary, any Award outstanding hereunder
      may at any time be cancelled in the 





                                        - 17 -





<PAGE>

      Committee's sole discretion upon payment of the value of such Award to the
      holder thereof in cash or in another Award hereunder, such value to be
      determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.


Section 7. Amendment and Termination

      Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law and unless otherwise
expressly provided in an Award Agreement or in the Plan:

      (a)  Amendments to the Plan.  The Board of Directors of the Company may
amend the Plan and the Board of Directors or the Committee may amend any
outstanding Award; provided, however,  that (i) no Plan amendment shall be
effective until approved by stockholders of the Company insofar as stockholder
approval thereof is required in order for the Plan to continue to satisfy the
conditions of Rule 16b-3, and (ii) without the consent of affected Participants
no amendment of the Plan or of any Award may impair the rights of Participants
under outstanding Awards.

      (b)  Waivers.  The Committee may waive any conditions or rights under any
Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, without the consent
of any Participant.

      (c)  Adjustments of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain Unusual or
Nonrecurring Events.  The Committee shall be authorized to make adjustments in
the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition
of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events
described in Section 4(b) hereof) affecting the Company, any Affiliate, or the
financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate, or of changes in
applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Committee

enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits to be made available under the
Plan.

      (d)  Correction of Defects, Omissions, and Inconsistencies.  The Committee
may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in
the Plan or any Award in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable to
effectuate the Plan.

      (a)  No Rights to Awards.  No Participant or other person shall have any
claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for
uniformity of treatment of Participants or holders or beneficiaries of Awards
under the Plan. The terms and conditions of Awards of the same type and the

and the 





                                       - 18 -



<PAGE>

terms and conditions thereof need not be the same with respect to each
Participant.

      (b)  Withholding.  The Company or any Affiliate shall be authorized to
withhold from any Award granted or any payment due or transfer made under any
Award or under the Plan the amount (in cash, Shares, other securities, other
Awards or other property) of withholding taxes due in respect of an Award, its
exercise or any payment or transfer under such Award or under the Plan and to
take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company or
Affiliate to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes.

      (c)  No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements.  Nothing contained in
the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Affiliate from adopting or continuing
in effect other or additional compensation arrangements, including the grant of
options and other stock-based awards, and such arrangements may be either
generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

      (d)  No Right to Employment.  The grant of an Award shall not be construed
as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or
any Affiliate. Further, the Company or an Affiliate may at any time dismiss a
Participant from employment, free from any liability, or any claim under the
Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement
or other written agreement with the Participant.

      (e)  Governing Law.  The validity, construction and effect of the Plan and
any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance
with the laws of the State of Michigan and applicable Federal law.

      (f)  Severability.  If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or
becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
or as to any person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under
any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or
deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or
deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially
altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken
as to such jurisdiction, person or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and any
such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

      (g)  No Trust or Fund Created.  Neither the Plan nor any Award shall
create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a
fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Affiliate and a Participant or
any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive
payments from the Company or any Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right
shall be no greater 








                                        - 19 -




<PAGE>

than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company or any
Affiliate.

      (h)  No Fractional Shares.  No fractional Shares shall be issued or
delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine
whether cash, other securities, or other property shall be paid or transferred
in lieu of any fractional Shares, or whether such fractional Shares or any
rights thereto shall be cancelled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.

      (i)  Headings.  Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the
Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be
deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of
the Plan or any provision thereof.

to have any such order, stay, judgment or decree lifted or dismissed and any
such suit, action or proceeding dismissed or terminated.

Repurchased Stock at the Closing that:

            (i)   the representations and warranties of Manoogian shall be true
      and correct in all material respects (and by the tendering of the

      have represented and warranted that this is so) and Manoogian shall have
      complied in all material respects with all covenants required to be
      performed prior to the Closing Date;

            (ii)  there is not in effect at the time any preliminary or

<PAGE>

      (b)   It shall be a condition to the obligations of Manoogian to sell the
Repurchased Stock at the Closing that:

            (i)   the representations and warranties of the Company shall be
      true and correct in all material respects (and by tendering the Purchase

      material respects with all covenants required to be performed prior to the
      Closing Date;

            (ii)  there is not in effect at the time any preliminary or

      Agreement.

      6.    SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.

      (a)   Manoogian acknowledges that money damages are an inadequate remedy
for a breach of this Agreement which would prevent consummation of the sale of
the Repurchased Stock to the Company because of the difficulty of ascertaining
the amount of damage that would be suffered by the Company in such event. 
Therefore, Manoogian agrees that the Company may obtain specific performance to
mandate the sale of the Repurchased Stock to the Company in accordance with this
Agreement in the event Manoogian's breach would otherwise prevent consummation
of the sale of the Repurchased Stock to the Company as set forth in this
Agreement.

      (b)   The Company acknowledges that money damages are an inadequate remedy
for a breach of this Agreement which would prevent consummation of the purchase
of the Repurchased Stock by the Company because of the difficulty of
ascertaining the amount of damage that would be suffered by Manoogian in such
event.  Therefore, the Company agrees that Manoogian  may obtain specific
performance to mandate the purchase of the Repurchased Stock by the Company in
accordance with this Agreement in the event the Company's breach would otherwise
prevent consummation of the purchase of the Repurchased Stock by the Company as
set forth in this Agreement.

      7.    MISCELLANEOUS.

      (a)   Expenses.  Each party shall be liable for his or its own expenses,
as the case may be, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.

this Agreement may only be made pursuant to a written instrument executed by the
parties hereto or their successors and assigns.
