                                    records of the Company indicating that the
                                    Shares are subject to restrictions on
                                    transfer and, if the Company should at some
                                    time in the future engage the services of a
                                    securities transfer agent, appropriate
                                    stop-transfer instructions will be issued to
                                    such transfer agent with respect to the

                  (e) (i) the Director Investor's financial situation is such
         that it can afford to bear the economic risk of holding the Shares for
         an indefinite period of time, has adequate means for providing for its
         current needs and personal contingencies, and can afford to suffer a
         complete loss of its investment in the Shares; (ii) the Director
         Investor's knowledge and experience in financial and business matters
         are such that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the
         investment in the Shares; (iii) the Director Investor understands that
         the Shares are a speculative investment which involves a high degree of
         risk of loss of its investment therein, there are substantial
         restrictions on the transferability of the Shares, and, on the Closing
         Date and for an indefinite period

                                                                               5

         following the Closing, there will be no public market for the Shares
         and, accordingly, it may not be possible for the Director Investor to
         liquidate its investment in case of emergency or otherwise; (iv) the
         Director Investor understands and has taken cognizance of all the risk
         factors related to the purchase of the Shares, and, other than as set
         forth in this Agreement, no representations or warranties have been
         made to the Director Investor or its representatives concerning the
         Shares or the Company or their prospects or other matters; (v) the
         Director Investor has been given the opportunity to examine all
         documents and to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, the
         Company and its representatives concerning the Company and its
         subsidiaries and the terms and conditions of the purchase of the Shares
         and to obtain all additional information which the Director Investor or
         its representatives deems necessary; (vi) in making its decision to
         purchase the Shares hereby subscribed for, the Director Investor has
         relied upon independent investigations made by it and, to the extent
         believed by it to be appropriate, its representatives, including its
         own professional, financial, tax and other advisors; and (vii) the
         Director Investor is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of
         Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

                  (f) The Director Investor has an understanding of the Company
         and its business. The Director Investor has been given the opportunity
         to obtain any additional information or documents (and to ask questions
         and receive answers about such information and documents) about the
         Company and its business which the Director Investor deems necessary to
         evaluate the merits and risks related to its investment in the shares
         of Common Stock.

                  7. Covenants of the Company and the Director Investor.

                  (a) Further Assurances. Each of the parties shall, and shall
         cause their respective Affiliates under their control to, execute such

         contemplated hereby.

                           purchase of the Shares by the Director Investor and

                           or given in writing and signed by such party.

                  (c) Specific Performance. Each party hereto acknowledges that
         money damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of
         the covenants or agreements in this Agreement are not performed in
         accordance with its terms, and it is therefore agreed that in addition
         to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, the
         non-breaching party will have the right to an injunction, temporary
         restraining order or other equitable relief in any court of competent
         jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically the
         terms and provisions hereof.

                  (d) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for
         convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect
         the meaning hereof.

                  (e) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this
         Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and
         valid under applicable law, but if 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 invalidity, illegality
         or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other
         jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and
         enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or
         unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

                  (f) Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly set forth
         herein, this Agreement together with the Stockholders Agreement and the
         Registration Rights Agreement embodies the complete agreement and
         understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject
         matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings,
         agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral,
         that may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

                  (g) Expenses. Each of the parties hereto shall bear its own
         expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel, accountants and
         other experts) incurred by it in connection with the preparation,
         negotiation, execution, delivery and performance hereof, each of the
         other documents and instruments executed in connection herewith or
         contemplated hereby and the consummation of the transactions
         contemplated hereby and thereby.

                  (h) GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THIS
         AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS
         OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE
         PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE. Any claim arising out of or
         relating to this Agreement may be instituted in Federal or State court
         in the State of New York (unless personal or subject matter
         jurisdiction cannot be obtained therein), and each party agrees not to
         assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such claim,
         that it is not

                                                                               8

         enforced in or by such court. Each party further irrevocably submits to
         the jurisdiction of such courts in any such claim. Any and all service
         of process and any other notice in any such claim shall be effective
         against any party if given personally or by registered or certified
         mail, return receipt requested, or by any other means of mail that
         requires a signed receipt, postage prepaid, mailed to such party as
         herein provided. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the
         right of any party to serve process in any manner permitted by law or

                  (i) No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything else that may be

                       NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

                            (OUTSIDE DIRECTOR AWARD)

                  THIS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), is made effective as of the
__ day of _________, 2005, (hereinafter called the "Date of Grant"), between
Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (f/k/a CSA Acquisition Corp.), a Delaware
corporation (hereinafter called the "Company"), and the individual whose name is
set forth on the signature page hereof (hereinafter called the "Participant"):

                                R E C I T A L S:

                  WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the 2004 CSA Acquisition
Corp. Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), which Plan is incorporated herein by
reference and made a part of this Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise
defined herein shall have the same meanings as in the Plan; and

                  WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that it would be in the
best interests of the Company and its shareholders to grant the options provided
for herein (the "Options") to the Participant pursuant to the Plan and the terms
set forth herein.

                  NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants
hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:

           1.     Definitions. Whenever the following terms are used in this
Agreement, they shall have the meaning specified below unless the context
clearly indicates to the contrary.

                  (a) "Cause" shall mean (i) the Participant's willful failure
to perform duties or directives which is not cured following written notice,
(ii) the Participant's commission of a (x) felony or (y) crime involving moral
turpitude, (iii) the Participant's willful malfeasance or misconduct which is
demonstrably injurious to the Company or its Affiliate, or (iv) material breach
by the Participant of any restrictive covenants including, without limitation,
any non-compete, non-solicitation or confidentiality provisions, to which the
Participant is bound.

                  (b) "Disability" shall mean the Participant becomes physically
or mentally incapacitated and is therefore unable for a period of six (6)
consecutive months or for an aggregate of nine (9) months in any twenty-four
(24) consecutive month period to perform the Participant's duties (such
incapacity is hereinafter referred to as "Disability"). Any question as to the
existence of the Disability of the Participant as to which the Participant and
the Company cannot agree shall be determined in writing by a qualified
independent physician mutually acceptable to the Participant and the Company. If
the Participant and the Company cannot agree as to a qualified independent
physician, each shall appoint such a physician and those two physicians shall
select a third who shall make such determination in writing. The determination
of Disability made in writing to the Company and the Participant shall be final
and conclusive for all purposes of the Agreement.

                  (c) "Option" shall have the meaning specified in Section 2.

                                                                               2

                  (d) "Stockholders Agreement" shall mean the Stockholders
Agreement dated as of December 23, 2004 by and among the Company, Cypress

Capital Partners 2000 Offshore, L.P., GS Capital Partners 2000 GmbH & Co.
Beteiligungs KG, GS Capital Partners 2000 Employee Fund, L.P. and Goldman Sachs
Direct Investment Fund 2000, L.P. and the persons listed on Annex I thereto.

           2.     Grant of the Options. The Company hereby grants to the
Participant the right and option to purchase, on the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth and subject to adjustment as set forth in the Plan, an
option (the "Option") to purchase any part or all of an aggregate _______Shares.
The purchase price of the Shares subject to the Option shall be $100.00 per
Share (the "Option Price"). The Option is intended to be a non-qualified stock
option, and is not intended to be treated as an option that complies with
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

           3.     Vesting.

                  (a) Subject to Section 4(a) and to the Participant's continued
Employment with the Company or its Affiliate, the Option shall vest and become
exercisable with respect to twenty percent (20%) of the Shares initially covered
by the Option on each of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth
anniversaries of the Date of Grant.

                  (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change of
Control while the Participant remains in Employment with the Company or its
Affiliate, the Option shall, to the extent outstanding and unvested, immediately
become fully vested and exercisable.

                  (c) At any time, the portion of an Option that has become
vested and exercisable as described above (or pursuant to Section 3(d) below) is
hereinafter referred to as the "Vested Portion".

                  (d) If the Participant's Employment with the Company and its
Affiliates is terminated for any reason, the Options shall, to the extent not
then vested, be canceled by the Company without consideration and the Vested
Portion of the Options shall remain exercisable for the period set forth in
Section 4(a); provided that in the event of the termination of the Participant's
Employment by the Company or its Affiliate without Cause or in the event of a
termination of the Participant's Employment due to death or Disability, the
Participant shall be deemed vested in any Shares subject to the Option that
would otherwise have vested in the calendar year in which such termination of
Employment occurs.

           4.     Exercise of Option.

                  (a) Period of Exercise. Subject to the provisions of the Plan
and this Agreement, the Participant may exercise all or any part of the Vested
Portion of the Option at any time prior to the earliest to occur of:

                      (i)   the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant;

                                                                               3

                      (ii)  the first anniversary of the date of the
Participant's termination of Employment due to death or Disability,

                      (iii) 90 days following the date of the Participant's
termination of Employment by the Company and its Affiliates without Cause (other
than due to the Participant's death or Disability) or due to the Participant's
resignation; and

                      (iv)  the date of the Participant's termination of
Employment by the Company and its Affiliates for Cause.

                  (b) Method of Exercise.

                      (i) Subject to Section 4(a), the Vested Portion of an
Option may be exercised by delivering to the Company at its principal office
written notice of intent to so exercise; provided that, an Option may be
exercised with respect to whole Shares only. Such notice shall specify the
number of Shares for which the Option is being exercised and shall be
accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price. The payment of the Option
Price may be made at the election of the Participant (i) in cash or its
equivalent (e.g., by check), (ii) to the extent permitted by the Committee, in
Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Option Price for the
Shares being purchased and satisfying such other requirements as may be imposed
by the Committee; provided, that such Shares have been held by the Participant
for no less than six months (or such other period as established from time to
time by the Committee in order to avoid adverse accounting treatment applying
generally accepted accounting principles), (iii) partly in cash and, to the
extent permitted by the Committee, partly in such Shares or (iv) if there is a
public market for the Shares at such time, through the delivery of irrevocable
instructions to a broker to sell Shares obtained upon the exercise of an Option
and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount out of the proceeds of such
sale equal to the aggregate option price for the Shares being purchased. No
Participant shall have any rights to dividends or other rights of a stockholder
with respect to Shares subject to an Option until the Participant has given
written notice of exercise of the Option, paid in full for such Shares and, if
applicable, has satisfied any other conditions imposed by the Committee pursuant
to the Plan.

                      (ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or
this Agreement to the contrary, the Options may not be exercised prior to the
completion of any registration or qualification of the Options or the Shares
under applicable state and federal securities or other laws, or under any ruling
or regulation of any governmental body or national securities exchange that the
Committee shall in its sole discretion determine to be necessary or advisable.

                      (iii) Upon the Company's determination that an Option has
been validly exercised as to any of the Shares, the Company shall issue
certificates in the Participant's name for such Shares. However, the Company
shall not be liable to the Participant for damages relating to any delays in
issuing the certificates to him, any loss of the certificates, or any mistakes
or errors in the issuance of the certificates or in the

                                                                               4

certificates themselves; provided that the Company shall correct any such errors
caused by it.

                      (iv) Subject to Section 7, in the event of the
Participant's death, the Vested Portion of the Options shall remain exercisable
by the Participant's executor or administrator, or the person or persons to whom
the Participant's rights under this Agreement shall pass by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution as the case may be, to the extent set forth in
Section 4(a). Any heir or legatee of the Participant shall take rights herein
granted subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

                      (v) As a condition to exercising an Option, the
Participant shall become a party to the Stockholders Agreement, and the Shares
acquired upon exercise of the Options shall be subject thereto.

           5. No Right to Continued Employment. The granting of the Options
evidenced hereby and this Agreement shall impose no obligation on the Company or
any of its Affiliates to continue the Employment of the Participant and shall
not lessen or affect the Company's or its Affiliate's right to terminate the
Employment of such Participant.

           6. Legend on Certificates. The certificates representing the Shares
purchased by exercise of the Options shall be subject to such stop 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 are listed, and any
applicable Federal or state laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or
legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such
restrictions, including reference to the fact that all Shares acquired hereunder
shall be subject to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement.

           7. Transferability. The Options may not be assigned, alienated,
pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the
Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution,
and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale,
transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or
any Affiliate; provided that the designation of a beneficiary shall not
constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or
encumbrance. No such permitted transfer of an Option to heirs or legatees of the
Participant shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee shall
have been furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of such evidence as
the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and
the acceptance by the transferee or transferees of the terms and conditions
hereof. During the Participant's lifetime, the Options are exercisable only by
the Participant.

           8. Withholding. The Participant may be required to pay to the Company
or any Affiliate and the Company and its Affiliates shall have the right and are
hereby authorized to withhold, any applicable withholding taxes in respect of
the Options, their exercise or any payment or transfer under or with respect to
the Options and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of
the Committee to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding
taxes.

                                                                               5

           9. Securities Laws. Upon the acquisition of any Shares pursuant to
the exercise of the Options, the Participant will make or enter into such
written representations, warranties and agreements as the Committee may
reasonably request in order to comply with applicable securities laws or with
this Agreement.

           10. Notices. Any notice necessary under this Agreement shall be
addressed to the Company in care of its Secretary at the principal executive
office of the Company and to the Participant at the address appearing in the
personnel records of the Company for the Participant or to either party at such
other address as either party hereto may hereafter designate in writing to the
other. Any such notice shall be deemed effective upon receipt thereof by the
addressee.

           11. Choice of Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS
OF LAWS.

           12. Option Subject to Plan and Stockholders Agreement. By entering
into this Agreement the Participant agrees and acknowledges that the Participant
has received and read a copy of the Plan and the Stockholders Agreement. The
Option is subject to the Plan and the Stockholders Agreement. The terms and
provisions of the Plan and the Stockholders Agreement as they may be amended
from time to time are hereby incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a
conflict between any term or provision contained herein and a term or provision
of the Plan or the Stockholders Agreement, the applicable terms and provisions
of the Plan or the Stockholders Agreement, as applicable, will govern and
prevail. In the event of a conflict between any term or provision of the Plan
and any term or provision of the Stockholders Agreement, the applicable terms
and provisions of the Stockholders Agreement will govern and prevail.

           13. Signature in Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the
signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

                                                                               6

           IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement.
