                 AMENDMENT TO THE STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS, INC.
                         SUPPLEMENTAL COMPENSATION PLAN

                           EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 1, 2006

         WHEREAS, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Standard Motor
Products, Inc. (the "Company") has determined to make certain modifications to
the Standard Motor Products, Inc. Supplemental Compensation Plan (the "Plan") in
order to ensure compliance with federal income tax laws and regulations,
including certain law changes made by the enactment of the American Jobs
Creation Act of 2004 adding a new Section 409A to the Internal Revenue Code of
1886, as amended (the "Code"); and

         WHEREAS, the Board has also determined to cause the benefit payable
under the Plan to the two executives who are the only Participants (as that term
is defined in the Plan) in general to be paid out to each of such Plan
participants on or as soon as practicable following the payment date hereby
established for each Participant (as set forth on Exhibit A, hereto) (such date
being referred to hereinafter as the Participant's Payment Date"); and

         WHEREAS, the Board has determined that the proposed lump sum payments
described above are permissible under applicable federal tax rules and
regulations, including certain transitional relief available under certain
recent guidance publicly issued by the Internal Revenue Service, provided such
payments are provided for in the Plan, as amended, and provided further that
such payments are made pursuant to the terms of the Plan, as amended and the
binding and irrevocable agreement of the Company and the affected Plan
participants; and

         WHEREAS, the Board has ascertained that the affected Plan participants
are in agreement and will consent to such an arrangement for the payment of
their Plan benefits as described above;

         NOW, THEREFORE, subject to the consent of each of the affected Plan
participants, which consents shall be obtained by means of separate written
documents to be executed by each such Plan participant, the Plan is hereby
amended as follows:

         1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the only
benefits payable with respect to any Participant pursuant to the Plan shall be
the following:

         a)    In the event a Participant's employment with the Company
               terminates by reason of the Participant's death at any time
               during the period from the effective date of this Amendment
               through the Participant's Payment Date, the death benefit payable
               under the Plan shall be paid to the designated beneficiary or
               beneficiaries of such Participant as provided in the Plan
               (without regard to this Amendment), and no further benefit shall
               thereafter be payable with respect to such Participant;

<PAGE>

         b)    In the event a Participant's employment with the Company
               terminates by reason of the Participant's disability (as that
               term is used for purposes of the Plan) at any time during the
               period from the effective date of this Amendment through the
               Participant's Payment Date, the Participant shall be entitled to
               such benefit, payable at the time and manner as specified in the
               Plan, without regard to this amendment; provided, however, that,
               to the extent necessary to comply with the distribution rules of
               Code Section 409A, such lump sum payment shall be delayed until
               the date that is six months after the Participant's termination
               of employment;

         c)    In the event a Participant voluntarily terminates his employment
               with the Company prior to the Participant's Payment Date, or if a
               Participant's employment with the Company is terminated for Cause
               (as defined in the Plan), such Participant shall forfeit all
               rights to any benefits under the Plan; and

         d)    If a Participant remains continuously employed through the
               Participant's Payment Date, such Participant shall be entitled to
               a lump sum benefit, payable as soon as practicable following the
               Participant's Payment Date (whether or not the Participant
               remains employed at such time), in the form of a lump sum payment
               in an amount equal to the present value of such Participant's
               benefit (determined by applying the actuarial assumptions set
               forth in the Plan and such other reasonable actuarial assumptions
               as may be required to be applied in such calculation to the
               benefit that would have been payable to such Participant as a
               Single Life Annuity under the terms of the Plan without regard to
               this Amendment, but taking into account such Participant's
               Compensation through the Participant's Payment Date, and treating
               the Participant as being 100% vested in the Supplemental
               Compensation Benefit provided under the Plan).

         2. It is the intent of this Amendment to provide an election as to time
and manner of payment of benefits consistent with certain transitional guidance
promulgated pursuant to Section 409A of the Code permitting such an election to
be made during 2006 applicable to payments that are to be made after the end of
2006, and this Amendment and the Plan, as amended, is intended to comply with
Code Section 409A (including applicable transitional guidance), and the Plan and
this Amendment are to be interpreted consistent with this intent.

         3. In all other regards, the Plan remains in full force and effect
without change.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, and as evidence of the adoption of this Amendment
to the Plan by the Company, the Company has caused the same to be signed by a
duly authorized officer, and its corporate seal to be affixed hereto, this day
of November, 2006.

                     RETENTION BONUS AND INSURANCE AGREEMENT
                               FOR JOHN P. GETHIN

         THIS RETENTION BONUS AND INSURANCE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made
as of the 26th day of December, 2006, by and between STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS,
INC. (the "Company") and JOHN P. GETHIN ("Gethin"). The Company and Gethin are
hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as "Parties" and individually as
"Party."

                              W I T N E S S E T H :

         WHEREAS, Gethin has been employed by the Company and has provided, and
continues to provide valuable services as a key executive of the Company; and

         WHEREAS, the Parties desire to enter into this Agreement whereby Gethin
will become entitled to a certain bonus if he remains employed with the Company
through June 14, 2011, and to have certain benefits provided to him during such
period of continued employment, all as set forth herein.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the
mutual covenants and promises of the Parties hereto, the Company and Gethin
covenant and agree as follows:

         1. Retention Bonus: If Gethin remains employed continuously from the
date hereof through June 14, 2011, Gethin shall be entitled to receive a
Retention Bonus (as hereinafter defined) from the Company as soon as practicable
on or after June 14, 2011 (subject to, and reduced by all applicable federal,
state and local tax withholding). For these purposes, the term "Retention Bonus"
means an amount equal to the sum of one year's salary as in effect at the time,
plus Gethin's annual bonus that would be payable at "par."

<PAGE>

         (a) Forfeiture of Retention Bonus on Termination of Gethin's Employment
Prior to June 14, 2011: In the event that at any time prior to June 14, 2011,
Gethin's employment with the Company terminates for any reason other than
Gethin's Disability (as hereinafter defined), no amount of the Retention Bonus
shall be payable.

         (b) Payment on Termination due to Gethin's Disability after June 15,
2008, and before June 14, 2011: In the event Gethin's employment with the
Company terminates by reason of his Disability (as hereinafter defined) at any
time after June 15, 2008, but before June 14, 2011, Gethin shall be entitled to
a special retention bonus equal to $900,000 multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of full months from June 15, 2008 through the
date of his termination, and the denominator of which is 36.

         (c) For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Disability" shall mean a
condition that qualifies Gethin to receive long term disability benefits under
the long-term disability plan provided by the Company, as that may be in effect
from time to time, or, if no such disability plan is in effect, a condition that
qualifies Gethin to receive Social Security Disability benefits.

         2. Life Insurance Benefit: The Company agrees to keep in full force and
effect one or more life insurance policies on Gethin that pay a death benefit,
in the aggregate, that is at least $900,000 during the period from June 15, 2008
through June 14, 2011, and to make such arrangements or endorsements as are
necessary or appropriate so as to permit Gethin to designate one or more
beneficiaries who would receive the proceeds of such insurance (up to, but not
in excess of, $900,000) in the event Gethin dies while employed after June 15,
2008 and before June 14, 2011.

         (a) In the event Gethin dies while employed at any time after June 15,
2008, and before June 14, 2011, the amount of the life insurance proceeds
payable to Gethin's designated beneficiary or beneficiaries shall be $900,000.

         (b) In the event Gethin terminates his employment by reason of
Disability during the period after June 15, 2008, and before June 14, 2011, the
Company shall continue to maintain one or more life insurance policies, but the
amount of the death benefit payable to Gethin's designated beneficiary or
beneficiaries shall be equal to the excess of $900,000 over the amount paid or
payable to Gethin following his termination due to Disability, as provided in
Section 1, above.

         (c) Title to and beneficial ownership of the life insurance policy or
policies described above shall remain with the Company, except with respect to
the portion of the death benefit proceeds which Gethin is entitled to assign to
one or more designated beneficiaries.

                                      -2-

         3. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement shall create or be construed to create a trust
of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and Gethin, his
designated beneficiary or beneficiaries, or any other person. Any funds which
may be invested or set aside by the Company in connection with this Agreement
shall continue for all purposes to be a part of the general funds of the Company
and no person other than the Company shall, by virtue of the provisions of this
Agreement, have any interest in such funds.

         4. This Agreement shall be binding upon Gethin, his designated
beneficiary or beneficiaries, and his spouse and their estates, heirs,
executors, administrators, personal and legal representatives, beneficiaries,
successors and assigns. This Agreement shall also be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the Company and its legal representatives, successors and
assigns.

         5. This Agreement may be assigned by the Company, but may not be
assigned by Gethin.

interpreted, construed and regulated by the laws of the State of New York.

         7. This Agreement and the documents referred to in this Agreement
contain the entire understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and shall not be modified, supplemented or amended except in
writing executed by all of the Parties hereto.

         8. The failure of any Party at any time to require performance of
another Party of any provision hereof or to resort to its remedy at law, or in
equity, or otherwise, shall in no way affect the right of such Party to require
such full performance in accordance with the terms hereof or to resort to such
remedy at any time thereafter, nor shall the waiver by any Party of a breach of
any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of
any such provision unless expressly so stated in writing. No waiver of any
provision hereof shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the Party to
be charged with such waiver.

         9. If any of the provisions of this Agreement are held to be invalid or
unenforceable, all other provisions shall nevertheless continue in full force
and effect.

         10. This Agreement may be executed in any number of identical
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which
together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument.
