*  On June 17, 1999, Littlejohn Partners IV, L.P. (the "Parent") and LPIV
   Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent (the
   "Purchaser"), entered into Stock Tender and Voting Agreements (the
   "Shareholder Agreements") with certain shareholders (the "Shareholders") of
   Durakon Industries, Inc. (the "Company"), who beneficially own 1,971,286
   Shares in the aggregate, or approximately 32% of the Shares outstanding as
   of June 17, 1999. Under the Shareholder Agreements, each Shareholder has
   agreed to validly tender the Shares beneficially owned by it, as well as
   any Shares subsequently acquired by it, into the Offer (as defined below),
   and not to withdraw such Shares from the Offer. The Purchaser's right to
   purchase the Shares subject to the Shareholder Agreements is reflected in
   Rows 7 and 9 of each of the tables above. Pursuant to the Shareholder
   Agreements, each Shareholder has also delivered an irrevocable proxy to the
   Parent and certain of the Parent's affiliates to vote the Shares subject to
   the Shareholder Agreements in favor of the Merger (as defined in the Offer
   to Purchase), the adoption by the Company of the Agreement and Plan of
   Merger dated as of June 17, 1999 among the Purchaser, the Parent and the
   Company (the "Merger Agreement"), and the approval of the terms thereof and
   each of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and
   have agreed to vote against (a) any action or agreement that would result
   in a breach of any covenant or any representation or warranty or any other
   obligation or agreement of the Company under or pursuant to the Merger
   Agreement and (b) any action or agreement that would impede, interfere
   with, delay, postpone or attempt to discourage the Merger or the Offer. The
   Merger Agreement and the Shareholder Agreements are described more fully in
   Section 12 ("The Merger Agreement and The Shareholder Agreements") of the
   Offer to Purchase dated June 25, 1999 (the "Offer to Purchase"), filed as
   Exhibit (a)(1) hereto.

** Based on a representation of the Company in the Merger Agreement.
