                                   BACKGROUND

     1. Immediately after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Merger
Subsidiary, a limited liability company formed by Sponsor and certain equity
investors (collectively, "Sponsor Group"), and MascoTech, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), are entering into a Recapitalization Agreement
(the "Recapitalization Agreement"). Capitalized terms used but not defined

Agreement. The Recapitalization Agreement provides, among other things, for the
merger of Merger Subsidiary with and into the Company, with the Shares being
converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, the Class A
Exchanged Shares being converted into the right to receive the Class A Merger
Consideration and the Class B Exchanged Shares of the Company being converted
into the right to receive the Class B Merger Consideration and the Merger
Subsidiary Common Shares being converted into the right to receive the
Surviving Corporation Common Shares.

     2. Immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, the Sponsor
Group will subscribe for Merger Subsidiary Common Shares at a price of $16.90
per share pursuant to the Subscription Agreement.

     3. As of the date hereof, each Shareholder owns the number of
shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company (the "Company
Common Stock") specified opposite its name under the column "Owned Shares" on
Schedule A. All of such shares, together with any shares of Company Common
Stock acquired of record or beneficially owned by such Shareholders in any
capacity after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time of the Merger,
whether upon exercise of options, conversion of convertible securities,
purchase, exchange or otherwise, will be referred to herein as "Owned Shares".
For purposes of this Agreement, after the Exchange Date (as defined herein),
all references herein to "Owned Shares" shall refer to Post-Exchange Owned
Shares (as defined herein). Each Shareholder is hereby agreeing, among other
things, as follows: (i) each Continuing Shareholder will exchange prior to the
Merger the Shares specified opposite its name under the column "Continuing
Shareholder Exchange Shares" on Schedule A hereto (the "Continuing Shareholder
Exchange Shares") for Class A Preferred Stock and receive the Class A Merger

Consideration in exchange therefor at the Effective Time and (ii) the Company
Shareholder will exchange prior to the Merger the Shares specified opposite its
name under the column "Company Shareholder Exchange Shares" on Schedule A
hereto (the "Company Shareholder Exchange Shares") for Class B Preferred Stock
and receive the Class B Merger Consideration in exchange therefor at the
Effective Time. It is understood that, following consummation of the Merger,
references to "Company Common Stock" will mean the shares of Common Stock, par
value $1.00 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

                                   ARTICLE 1

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     1.1 Representations and Warranties of the Shareholders. Each Shareholder,
severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to Merger Subsidiary as
follows:

     (a) Authority; Enforceability. Such Shareholder has the legal capacity (in
the case of Shareholders that are natural persons) and all requisite power and

and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been
duly authorized (in the case of Shareholders that are not natural persons),
executed and delivered by such Shareholder and constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of such Shareholder enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms.

     (b) No Conflicts. Except for filings required under the applicable
requirements of the 1934 Act, (A) no filing with, and no permit, authorization,
consent or approval of, any Governmental Authority or any other person is
necessary for the execution of this Agreement by such Shareholder and the
consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and (B) the
execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Shareholder, the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby and compliance with the terms hereof by
such Shareholder will not conflict with, or result in any violation of, or
default (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) under any provision
of, the certificate of incorporation, by-laws or analogous documents of such
Shareholder (if the Shareholder is not a natural person) or any other agreement

shareholders agreement, voting trust, trust agreement, pledge agreement, loan
or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement,

     (c) Ownership, Etc. of Shares. As of the date hereof, such Shareholder is
the beneficial owner of the number of shares of Company Common Stock set forth
opposite such Shareholder's name under the column "Owned Shares" on Schedule A.

number of shares of Company Common Stock, Class A Preferred Stock and Class B

"Post-Exchange Owned Shares" on Schedule A (the "Post-Exchange Owned Shares").
In the case of IS, the amounts include Company Common Stock which (A)

marketable title to its Owned Shares, free and clear of any encumbrances,
agreements, adverse claims, liens or other arrangements with respect to the
ownership of or the right to dispose of its Owned Shares, except pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement and except for those encumbrances, agreements,
adverse claims, liens or other arrangements in effect on the date hereof and
listed on Schedule 1.1(c) attached hereto. On the date hereof, the Owned Shares
constitute all of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock owned of
record or beneficially by such Shareholder, except in the case of IS, for any
Shares it may own beneficially by virtue of being a director or trustee of FS.
Such Shareholder has sole power of disposition with respect to all of its Owned
Shares (other than the Excluded Owned Shares) and sole voting power with
respect to the matters set forth in Section 3.1 and sole power to demand
dissenter's or appraisal rights, in each case with respect to all of its Owned
Shares (other than the Excluded Owned Shares), with no restrictions on such
rights, subject to applicable federal securities laws and the terms of this
Agreement. None of such Owned Shares is subject to any voting trust,
stockholders agreement or other agreement, arrangement or restriction with
respect to the voting or transfer of any of the Owned Shares, except as
contemplated by this Agreement, the Recapitalization Agreement, the Stock
Purchase Agreement dated as of October 15, 1996 between the Company Shareholder
and the Company (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), the Option Plans and
Restricted Stock Plans and the agreements and arrangements in effect on the
date hereof and listed on Schedule 1.1(c).

     (d) Access to Information, Etc. Such Shareholder is an "accredited
investor" within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the 1934 Act. It
has been provided with a copy of the Recapitalization Agreement and has had an
opportunity to review it. It has been supplied with, or otherwise has had
access to, adequate information and the opportunity to ask questions in order
to make its own independent decision to exchange its Continuing Shareholder
Exchange Shares for the Class A Preferred Stock and receive in the Merger the
Class A Merger Consideration and, in the case of the Company Shareholder, to
exchange its Company Shareholder Exchange Shares for the Class B Preferred
Stock and receive in the Merger the Class B Merger Consideration, or have such


<PAGE>
                                      -4-


Shares converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in the
Merger as provided in the Recapitalization Agreement. It understands that the
Surviving Corporation Common Shares and, in the case of the Company
Shareholder, the Surviving Corporation Common Shares and the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock that it will receive in the Merger will not have been
registered under the 1933 Act and that the certificates for such shares will
bear an appropriate legend to such effect. It further understands that the
Surviving Corporation Common Shares and, in the case of the Company
Shareholder, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock that it will receive in the
Merger will bear an appropriate legend with respect to the stockholders
agreement referred to in Section 6.1 below.

     1.2 Representations and Warranties of Merger Subsidiary. Merger Subsidiary
represents and warrants to each Shareholder as follows:

     (a) Authority. It is duly formed, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of Delaware. It has all requisite power and authority to enter
into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and
constitutes its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms.

     (b) No Conflicts; Enforceability. Except for filings required under the
applicable requirements of the 1934 Act, (A) no filing with, and no permit,
authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental Authority or any other
person is necessary for the execution of this Agreement by Merger Subsidiary
and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (B) the
execution and delivery of this Agreement by Merger Subsidiary, the consummation
by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and its compliance with the terms
hereof will not conflict with, or result in any violation of, or default (with
or without notice or lapse of time or both) under any provision of, any limited
liability company agreement, or any other agreement to which it is a party,
including any voting agreement, stockholders agreement, voting trust, trust
agreement, pledge agreement, loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage,
indenture, lease or other agreement, instrument, permit, concession, franchise
or license, or violate any judgment, order, notice, decree, statute, law,
ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to Merger Subsidiary or to its
property or assets.

Shareholder's Shares shall not be deemed to have such an adverse effect.

effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision or portion of
any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such

to any agreement (other than by virtue of this Agreement), arrangement or
