Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, the Company and the subsidiaries of the Company listed on the signature pages thereof
have each heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an Indenture (as supplemented or amended
from time to time, the “Indenture”), dated as of July 6, 2005, providing for the issuance by the
Company of its 8% Senior Notes due 2013 (the “Securities”); and

     WHEREAS, Section 4.12 of the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Company
is required to cause the New Guarantor to execute and deliver to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Holders a supplemental agreement pursuant to which the New Guarantor shall unconditionally
guarantee all of the Company’s obligations under the Securities pursuant to a Guarantee on the
terms and conditions set forth herein;

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the New Guarantor covenants and agrees
for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities as follows:

     (1) Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

     (2) Agreement to Guarantee. The New Guarantor hereby agrees, jointly and severally with all
other Subsidiary Guarantors, to unconditionally guarantee the Company’s obligations under the
Securities on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Article 10 of the Indenture and
to be bound by all other applicable provisions of the Indenture.

     (3) Ratification of Supplemental Indenture; Supplemental Indenture Part of Indenture. Except
as expressly amended hereby, the Indenture is in all respects ratified and confirmed and all the

such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Security, each Securityholder shall waive and
release all such liability. The waiver and release shall be part of the consideration for issuance
of the Subsidiary Guarantee.

FORM OF

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

     This Agreement, dated as of                     ,            is made by and between Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and                      who is currently serving as an officer and/or director of
the Company (the “Indemnitee”).

     WHEREAS, the Indemnitee is currently serving in the capacity or capacities described above;

     WHEREAS, the Company has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to enter
into indemnification agreements with its current officers and/or directors;

     WHEREAS, the Company wishes the Indemnitee to continue to serve in such capacity or capacities
and the Indemnitee is willing, under the current circumstances, to continue in such capacity or
capacities;

     WHEREAS, damages sought and sometimes paid in many claims made against corporate directors and
officers and the expenses required to defend such claims, whether or not the allegations are
meritorious, may not bear a reasonable relationship to the amount of compensation received by and
may be beyond the financial resources of the Indemnitee;

     WHEREAS, the Indemnitee is currently entitled to indemnification under the Delaware General
Corporation Law and the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which the
Indemnitee does not regard to be adequate protection against the risks associated with his service
to or at the request of the Company:

     WHEREAS, the Indemnitee and the Company have concluded that the exposure to risk of personal
liability and payment of damages out of the Indemnitee’s personal assets may result in an unhealthy
conservative direction and supervision of the Company’s affairs, which is detrimental to the best
interests of the Company and its stockholders; and

     WHEREAS, the Company has concluded that additional protection is appropriate for its directors
and elected officers.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby:

     Section 1. Definitions.

 

 

     (a) “Agent” of the Company shall mean any person who is or was a director, officer, employee,
agent or fiduciary of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, or is or was serving at the
request of, for the convenience of, or to represent the interests of the Company or a subsidiary of
the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or entity, including service with respect to
an employee benefit plan.

     (b) “Disinterested Director” of the Company shall mean a director of the Company who is not
and was not a party to the proceeding for which indemnification is being sought by the claimant.

     (c) “Expenses” shall include all direct and indirect costs of any type or nature whatsoever
(including, without limitation, all attorneys’ and expert witness fees and related disbursements,
other out-of-pocket costs and reasonable compensation for time spent by the Indemnitee for which he
is not otherwise compensated by the Company or any third party) actually and reasonably incurred by
the Indemnitee in connection with either the investigation, defense or appeal of a proceeding or
establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification under this Agreement, Section 145 of the
General Corporation Law of Delaware, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation or otherwise; provided, however, that expenses shall not include any
judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974 (“ERISA”), or amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding brought pursuant to ERISA.

     (d) “Independent Legal Counsel” shall mean a law firm, a member of a law firm, or an
independent practitioner, who is experienced in matters of corporation law and shall include any
person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would not have
a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or the Indemnitee in an action to
determine the Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.

     (e) “Proceeding” shall mean any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or other
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or any other type whatsoever.

     (f) “Subsidiary” shall mean any corporation, partnership, joint venture or other enterprise, a
majority of whose equity interests are owned by the Company, directly or through one or more other
subsidiaries.

     Section 2. Agreement to Serve. The Indemnitee agrees to serve as a director, officer
or Agent of the Company, at its will (or under separate agreement, if such agreement exists), in
the capacity Indemnitee currently serves, so long as he is duly appointed or elected and qualified
in accordance with the applicable provisions of the By-Laws of the Company or any subsidiary of the
Company or until such time as he tenders his resignation in writing or his term is otherwise
completed; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement is intended
to create any right to continued service to or employment with the Company.

2

 

     Section 3. Mandatory Indemnification. Subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 7, if the Indemnitee is a person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made
a party to or is involved, including involvement as a witness, in any proceeding, including any
action by or in the right of the Company, by reason of the fact that he is or was or has agreed to
become an Agent, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted by him in any
such capacity, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee against all expense, liability and loss
(including but not limited to judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or
to be paid in settlement), actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the
investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such proceeding; provided, however,
that except as provided in Section 7(c) of this Agreement with respect to proceedings
seeking to enforce rights to indemnification, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee in
connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by the Indemnitee only if such proceeding
(or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company.

     Section 4. Mandatory Advancement of Expenses. The Company shall advance all expenses
as and when incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or
appeal of any proceeding referred to in Section 3 to which the Indemnitee is a party or is
threatened to be made a party or with respect to which the Indemnitee is otherwise involved
(including involvement as a witness) as an Agent of the Company. The Indemnitee hereby undertakes
to repay such amounts advanced if, but only if and to the extent that, it shall ultimately be
determined pursuant to the provisions hereof that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified
by the Company as authorized hereby. The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by the
Company to the Indemnitee within twenty (20) days following delivery of a written request therefore
by the Indemnitee to the Company; provided, however, that, if and to the extent
that the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by the
Indemnitee in his capacity as a director or officer shall be made only upon delivery of an
undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall
ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal
that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Agreement or
otherwise.

     Section 5. Maintenance of D&O Insurance.

     (a) So long as the Indemnitee shall continue to serve in any capacity described in
Section 2, and thereafter so long as there is any reasonable possibility that the
Indemnitee shall be subject to any proceeding by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee served in
any of such capacities, the Company will use reasonable efforts to purchase and maintain in effect
for the benefit of the Indemnitee one or more valid, binding and enforceable policies of directors’
and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) providing, in all respects, coverage and
amounts as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors.

     (b) Notwithstanding Section 5(a), the Company shall not be required to maintain D&O
Insurance if such is not reasonably available or if, in the reasonable business judgment of the
Board of Directors of the Company as it may exist from time to time, either (i) the premium cost
for such insurance is substantially disproportionate to the amount of

3

 

insurance or (ii) the coverage is so limited by exclusions that there is insufficient benefit
provided by such insurance.

     Section 6. Notice and Other Indemnification Procedures.

     (a) Promptly after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of or the threat of
commencement of any proceeding, the Indemnitee shall, if the Indemnitee believes that the
indemnification with respect thereto properly may be sought from the Company under this Agreement,
notify the Company of the commencement or threat of commencement thereof. The failure to notify or
promptly notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to
the Indemnitee otherwise than under this Agreement, and shall relieve the Company from liability
hereunder only to the extent the Company has been prejudiced.

     (b) If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of the commencement of a proceeding pursuant to
Section 6(a), the Company has D&O Insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice
of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth
in the D&O Insurance policy. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action
to cause such insurers to pay, to or on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result
of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policy.

     (c) In the event the Company shall be obligated to pay the expenses of the Indemnitee in
connection with any proceeding, the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of such
proceeding, with counsel subject to the reasonable approval of the Indemnitee, upon the delivery to
the Indemnitee of written notice of its election to do so. After delivery of such notice, approval
of such counsel by the Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company
will not be liable to the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee with respect to the same proceeding; provided that
(i) the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his own counsel in any such proceeding at the
Indemnitee’s expense and (ii) if (A) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been
previously authorized by the Company, or (B) the Indemnitee shall have concluded upon the advice of
counsel that there is a conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnitee in the conduct
of any such defense, or (C) the Company shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the
defense of such proceeding, the fees and expenses of the Indemnitee’s counsel shall be paid by the
Company; and provided further that the Company shall not be required to pay the expenses of
more than one such separate counsel for persons it is indemnifying in any one proceeding.

     Section 7. Determination of Right to Indemnification.

     (a) To the extent the Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of
any proceeding referred to in Section 3 or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter
described therein, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee pursuant to Section 3 against
expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the investigation, defense, or
appeal of such proceeding. If the Indemnitee has not been successful on the merits or otherwise in
any such defense, the Company also shall indemnify the Indemnitee

4

 

pursuant to Section 3 unless, and only to the extent that, the Indemnitee has not met the
applicable standard of conduct under the Delaware General Corporation Law as it now exists or may
hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such
amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the
Company to provide prior to such amendment).

     (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 8 relating to a Change in Control (as defined
therein), the determination as to whether the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall be
made as follows: (1) if requested by the Indemnitee, by Independent Legal Counsel selected by the
Indemnitee with the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) or
(2) if no request is made by the Indemnitee for a determination by Independent Legal Counsel,
(i) by a quorum of the Board of Directors consisting of Disinterested Directors or (ii) if such
quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, if a quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs,
by Independent Legal Counsel in a written opinion.

     (c) Notwithstanding a determination that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification
with respect to a specific proceeding, the Indemnitee shall have the right to apply to the court of
Chancery of Delaware, the court in which that proceeding is or was pending or any other court of
competent jurisdiction, for the purpose of enforcing the Indemnitee’s right to indemnification or
the advance payment of expenses pursuant to this Agreement. The burden of proof shall be on the
Company in any such suit to demonstrate by the weight of the evidence that the Indemnitee is not
entitled to indemnification or advance payment of expenses. The Indemnitee’s expenses incurred in
successfully establishing his right to indemnification or advancement of expenses, in whole or in
part, in any such action (or settlement thereof) shall be paid by the Company.

     (d) Notwithstanding anything in Sections 3 or 4 to the contrary, the Company
shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any indemnity payment or advancement of expenses
in connection with any proceeding (i) to the extent that payment is actually made, or for which
payment is available, to or on behalf of the Indemnitee under an insurance policy, except in
respect of any amount in excess of the limits of liability of such policy or any applicable
deductible under such policy; (ii) to the extent that payment has been or will be made to the
Indemnitee by the Company otherwise than pursuant to this Agreement; or (iii) to the extent that
there was a final adjunction by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Indemnitee has not met
the applicable standard of conduct required to entitle the Indemnitee to indemnification under the
Delaware General Corporation Law as it now exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of
any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader
indemnification rights than said law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment).

     Section 8. Change In Control.

     (a) The Company agrees that if there is a Change in Control, as defined below, of the Company
(other than a Change in Control which has been approved by a majority of the members of the Board
of Directors who were directors immediately prior to such Change in Control), then with respect to
all matters thereafter arising concerning the rights of the

5

 

Indemnitee to indemnity payments and advance payments of expenses under this Agreement, the Company
and the Indemnitee shall seek legal advice only from Independent Legal Counsel selected by the
Indemnitee with the consent of the Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). Such
counsel, among other things, shall render a written opinion to the Company and the Indemnitee as to
whether and to what extent the Indemnitee would be permitted to be indemnified under this Agreement
and applicable law. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Legal Counsel
and to indemnify such counsel fully against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees),
claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or counsel’s
engagement pursuant hereto.

     (b) Alternatively, the Indemnitee may choose to submit all matters arising concerning his
rights to indemnity payments and advance payments of expenses under this Agreement to a panel of
three arbitrators, one of whom is selected by the Company, another of whom is selected by the
Indemnitee and the third of whom is selected by the first two arbitrators so selected. Any such
submission shall be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association and shall be deemed to be a submission within the meaning of the Federal Arbitration
Act or any statutory modification or re-enactments thereof. Arbitration proceedings shall take
place in New Albany, Ohio, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties.

     (c) “Change in Control” for purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to have occurred if
(a) any “person” (as such term is used in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder), other than a trustee or other
fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or a corporation owned
directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as
their ownership of stock of the Company, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in
Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 20%
or more of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities,
except that a person who as of the date of this Agreement owns 20% or more of the total voting
power represented by the Company’s outstanding voting securities shall not be deemed to have caused
a Change in Control, or (b) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the
beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors and any new director whose election by
the Board of Directors or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a
vote of at least two-third (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at
the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so
approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof, or (c) the stockholders of the
Company approve a merger, plan of complete liquidation of the Company, an agreement for the sale or
disposition by the Company of all or any substantial part of the Company’s assets, or other
business combination of the Company with any other corporation, other than a business combination
which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto
continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting
securities of the surviving entity) at least 80% of the total voting power represented by the
voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such
business combination.

6

 

     Section 9. Limitation of Actions and Release of Claims. No proceeding shall be
brought and no cause of action shall be asserted by the Company or any subsidiary or by any
stockholder on behalf of the Company or any subsidiary against the Indemnitee, his spouse, heirs,
estate, executors or administrators after the expiration of one year from the act or omission of
the Indemnitee upon which such proceeding is based; provided, however, that in the
event that the Indemnitee has fraudulently concealed the facts underlying such cause of action, no
proceeding shall be brought and no cause of action shall be asserted after the expiration of one
year from the earlier of (i) the date the Company or any subsidiary of the Company discovers such
facts or (ii) the date the Company or any subsidiary of the Company could have discovered such
facts by the exercise of reasonable diligence. Any claim or cause of action of the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company, including claims predicated upon the negligent act or omission of the
Indemnitee, shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by filing of a legal action
within such period. This Section 9 shall not apply to any cause of action which has
accrued on the date hereof and of which the Indemnitee is aware on the date hereof but as to which
the Company has no actual knowledge apart from the Indemnitee’s knowledge.

     Section 10. Non-exclusivity. The provisions for indemnification and advancement of
expenses set forth in this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights which the
Indemnitee may have under any provision of law, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, the vote of the Company’s stockholders or Disinterested Directors, other agreements,
or otherwise, both as to actions in his official capacity and to actions in another capacity while
occupying his position as an Agent of the Company, and the Indemnitee’s rights hereunder shall
continue after the Indemnitee has ceased acting as an Agent of the Company and shall inure to the
benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of the Indemnitee.

     Section 11. Settlement. The Company shall not be liable to indemnify the Indemnitee
under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any proceeding without its written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall not settle any
proceeding which would impose any penalty or limitation on the Indemnitee without the Indemnitee’s
written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that consent is
not given and the parties hereto are unable to agree on a proposed settlement, Independent Legal
Counsel shall be retained by the Company, at its expense, with the consent of the Indemnitee, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, for the purpose of determining whether or not the
proposed settlement is reasonable under all the circumstances; and if Independent Legal Counsel
determines the proposed settlement is reasonable under all the circumstances, the settlement may be
consummated without the consent of the other party.

     Section 12. Subrogation Rights. In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company
shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the
Indemnitee against any person or organization and the Indemnitee shall execute all papers required
and shall do everything that may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights.

     Section 13. Allowance for Compliance with Commission Requirements. Indemnitee
acknowledges that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) has

7

 

expressed the opinion that indemnification of directors and officers from liabilities under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. Indemnitee hereby acknowledges and agrees that it will not be a breach of
this Agreement for the Company to undertake with the Commission in connection with the registration
for sale of any shares or other securities of the Company from time to time that, in the event a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of
expenses incurred or paid by a director or officer of the Company in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted in connection with such shares or other securities being
registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of competent jurisdiction the question of whether or not
such indemnification by the Company is against public policy as expressed in the Act and the
Company will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. Indemnitee further agrees that
such submission to a court of competent jurisdiction shall not be a breach of this Agreement.

     Section 14. Interpretation of Agreement. It is understood that the parties hereto
intend this Agreement to be interpreted and enforced so as to provide indemnification and payments
for Expenses to the Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and to waive or
render inapplicable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any interpretation or
enforcement which would impose any condition or limitation upon, or otherwise impair or prohibit
the enforcement of, any provision in this Agreement. Indemnitee’s rights hereunder shall apply to
claims made against Indemnitee arising out of acts or omissions which occurred prior to the date
hereof as well as those which occur after the date hereof.

     Section 15. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, (i) the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation,
all portions of any paragraph of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of
this Agreement (including, without limitation, all portions of any paragraph of this Agreement
containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so
as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable
and to give effect to Section 14.

     Section 16. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of this
Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of
any of the provisions of this agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other
provision hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

     Section 17. Successors and Assigns. The terms of this Agreement shall bind, and shall
inure to the benefit of, the successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

     Section 18. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under
this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (i) on the date of

8

 

delivery if delivered by hand or via telecopy or (ii) on the second business day after being
deposited in the U.S. mail (registered or express), postage prepaid. Addresses for notice to
either party are as shown on the signature page of this Agreement, or as subsequently modified by
written notice. Each party agrees to receipt for any notice received promptly upon request.

     Section 19. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed exclusively by and
construed according to the laws of the State of Delaware, as applied to contracts between Delaware
residents entered into and to be performed entirely within Delaware.

     Section 20. Consent to Jurisdiction. The Company and the Indemnitee each hereby
irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and the Company
irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of any court in which an Indemnitee brings action pursuant
to Section 7(c), for all purposes in connection with any proceeding which arises out of or
relates to this Agreement. The Company agrees not to initiate any such action or proceeding in any
state other than Delaware.

     Section 21. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be deemed effective as of: (i)
August 2, 2004, in the event that the Indemnitee was serving as an officer and/or director of the
Company as of that date or (ii) if the Indemnitee was not serving as an officer and/or director of
the Company on August 2, 2004, the date the Indemnitee was first elected or appointed, as the case
may be, to serve as an officer and/or director of the Company.

*    *    *    *    *

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have entered into this Indemnification Agreement
effective as of the date first above written.
