Exhibit 10.2

Flexible Cash Allowance Policy

Effective January 1, 2010, TriMas Corporation will provide a cash allowance for certain senior executives in lieu of any other perquisites (including, but not limited to, car related payments, club dues, and supplemental life insurance).  Executives covered by this policy will receive a cash allowance to be paid in equal payments at the beginning of each financial quarter to be used at the executive’s discretion.
