      THIRD AMENDMENT
TO
      THE
ROGERS CORPORATION
ANNUAL
      INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
    

    

    

    
      WHEREAS, Rogers Corporation, a
      Massachusetts corporation (the “Company”), maintains the Rogers
      Corporation Annual Incentive Plan (the “Plan”); and
    

    
      WHEREAS, the Compensation and Organization
      Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) has determined
      that it is in the Company’s best interest to amend the Plan as set forth
      below.
    

    
      NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue and in exercise
      of the power reserved to the Committee and pursuant to the authority
      delegated to the undersigned officer of the Company by action taken by
      the Committee, the Plan be and is hereby amended as follows, effective
      January 1, 2011:
    

    
      By substituting footnote 2 to the table
      under Section 4.2 with the following new footnote 2:
    

    
       “The Division/Group Performance portion
      for each Corporate Report will be determined by multiplying 70% of his
      or her Target Award by the result obtained by the weighted average of
      actual divisional sales and profit performance had each Division
      achieved their 100% target for sales and profits for the
      year.  Calculations of the actual percentage of Corporate Target Awards
      will be made by interpolating between points on the Performance
      Measurement Schedule.”
    

    
      By amending Section 4.3 of the Plan in its
      entirety to read as follows:
    

    
      The Corporate portion of a Participant’s
      annual incentive award is based on two performance criteria, sales and
      earnings per share (“EPS”).  Each performance criteria shall be equally
      weighted 50%.  Goals will be established for each of these performance
      criteria at the beginning of each Plan Year by the Compensation and
      Organization Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) and
      expressed in an award schedule that prescribes the percentage of
      Corporate Target Award paid out at each level of performance achievement.
    

    
      3.            Section 6.1 of the Plan is
      hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
    

    
      The annual bonus award for any Participant
      will be limited to 200% of his or her  Target Award.
    

    
      Except as expressly amended by this Third
      Amendment, the Plan in all other respects remains in full force and
      effect and is hereby confirmed.
    

    
      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Committee has
      caused this Third Amendment to the Plan to be duly executed on this 8th
        day of February, 2011.

2.1. Representations and Warranties of the Company.  The Company hereby represents and warrants to Investor as of the date hereof and the Closing Date that:

 

(a) Organization, Good Standing and Qualification.  The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate its assets and properties, to conduct its business as it is currently being conducted and as described in the Disclosure Documents, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated herein.  Other than Picometrix, LLC (f/k/a Picotronix, Inc.), a Delaware limited liability company and Silicon Sensors, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Subsidiaries”), the Company does not own securities of any kind in any other entity.  The Company and the Subsidiaries are qualified to do business as foreign corporations or as a limited liability company, as applicable, and are in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by them makes such qualification necessary, except for any jurisdiction(s) (alone or in the aggregate) in which the failure to be so qualified will not have a Material Adverse Effect.  For the purposes of this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any effect on the business, operations, properties or financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries that is material and adverse to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and any condition, circumstance or situation that would prohibit the Company from entering into and performing its obligations hereunder.

 

(b) Valid Issuance.  The Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free and clear of all taxes, liens, options, calls, rights of first refusal of any kind, contracts, commitments, demands, charges, security interests, encumbrances or restrictions on transfer, other than restrictions on transfer under applicable state and federal securities laws, and Investor shall be entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock.

43

  

 

(iii) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company; and

 

(iv) This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

 

(d) Disclosure Documents, Financial Statements.

 

(i) The Disclosure Documents constitute all documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, since March 31, 2010, through the date hereof, and as at the respective dates of filing thereof, complied in all material respects with the published rules and regulations of the SEC or other applicable rules and regulations with respect thereto.

 

(ii) As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the Disclosure Documents (the “Financial Statements”) complied in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC or other applicable rules and regulations with respect thereto.  Such Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise disclosed or indicated in such Financial Statements or the notes thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements), and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).  Any “off-balance sheet” transactions to which the Company is a party are reflected in the notes to such Financial Statements.

 

(e) No Material Adverse Change.  Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents, since July 2, 2010, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has (i) experienced or suffered any Material Adverse Effect, (ii) incurred any liabilities, obligations, claims or losses (whether liquidated or unliquidated, secured or unsecured, absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) other than (A) those incurred in the ordinary course of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ respective businesses or (B) as set forth herein or (iii) declared, made or paid any dividend or distribution of any kind on their capital stock.

 

(f) No Undisclosed Events or Circumstances.

(h) No General Solicitation.  The Company did not offer the Shares to Investor by means of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Shares published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general advertisement that would be deemed a “general solicitation” under the provisions of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

(iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including United States federal and state securities laws and regulations and the rules and regulations of AMEX or any other principal securities exchange or trading market on which the Common Stock is traded or listed) applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected that would have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(j) Absence of Litigation.  There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company, the Common Stock or any of the Subsidiaries or any of the Company’s or the Subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, which would be material to the Company except as set forth in Disclosure Documents which were filed prior to the date hereof.

 

(k) No Integrated Offering.  Assuming the accuracy of Investor’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.2, neither the Company, nor to the knowledge of the Company, any of its affiliates or any person acting on its behalf has, directly or indirectly, at any time within the past six months, made any offers or sales of any Company security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause such offers and sales to be integrated for purposes of the Securities Act with the offer and sale by the Company of the Shares as contemplated hereby.

Investor acknowledges that except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Company has made no representation or warranty to Investor with respect to the legal, income or other tax consequences to Investor under the laws of any jurisdiction with respect to an investment in the Shares.

(c) General Solicitation.  Investor is not purchasing the Shares as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Shares published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general advertisement that would be deemed a “general solicitation” under the provisions of Regulation D.

 

(d) Reliance on Exemptions.  Investor understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and Investor’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgements and understandings of Investor set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Investor to acquire the Shares.

 

(e) Organization, Good Standing and Qualification.  Investor is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate its assets and properties, to conduct its business as it is currently being conducted, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated herein.

Section 3.  Indemnification

 

3.1. Company Indemnification.  The Company covenants and agrees to defend, indemnify and save and hold harmless Investor, together with its officers, directors, partners, members, employees, trustees, and affiliates, attorneys and representatives (collectively, “Representatives”), from and against any and all losses, out-of-pocket costs or expenses, liabilities, claims or legal damages (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants and other out-of-pocket costs or expenses incident to any actual or threatened claim, suit, action or proceeding, whether incurred in connection with a claim against the Company or a third party claim) (collectively, “Investor Losses”) up to the amount of the Purchase Price (the “Indemnity Cap”) arising out of or resulting from: (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company in this Agreement; or (ii) the failure of the Company to perform or observe fully any covenant, agreement or provision to be performed or observed by it pursuant to this Agreement.  Investor Losses resulting directly from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of Investor or any of its Representatives are not covered under this Section.

 

3.2. Investor Indemnification.  Investor covenants and agrees to defend, indemnify and save and hold harmless the Company and its Representatives from and against any and all losses, out-of-pocket costs or expenses, liabilities, claims or legal damages (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants and other out-of-pocket costs or expenses incident to any actual or threatened claim, suit, action or proceeding, whether incurred in connection with a claim against Investor or a third party claim) (collectively, “Company Losses”) up to the Indemnity Cap relating to violations of the Securities Act or other applicable law arising out of or resulting from: (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Investor in this Agreement; or (ii) the failure of Investor to perform or observe fully any covenant, agreement or provision to be performed or observed by it pursuant to this Agreement.  Company Losses resulting directly from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Company or any of its Representatives are not covered under this Section.

 

3.3. Indemnification Procedure.

 

(a) Each party entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 3.1 and 3.2 (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall notify the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any action against such Indemnified Party in respect of which the other party is or may be obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2, promptly after the receipt of notice or knowledge of the commencement thereof.  The omission of any Indemnified Party so to notify the other party of any such action shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been prejudiced by the omission of such Indemnified Party so to notify it, pursuant to this Section 3.3.

 

(b) In case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that the Indemnifying Party may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and after notice from it to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that (i) if the Indemnifying Party shall elect not to assume the defense of such claim or action or (ii) if the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that there is a substantial actual conflict between the positions of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party in defending such claim or action, then separate counsel for the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in and conduct the defense, and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith.

 

  

48

  

 

(c) The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding affected without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.  Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, the Indemnifying Party shall not affect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such proceeding.

 

3.4. Indemnification Exclusive.  The foregoing indemnification provisions are exclusive, and in lieu of any statutory, equitable or common law remedy any party may have for breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement hereunder, all of which are hereby irrevocably waived and relinquished to the maximum legal effect.

 

Section 4. Transfer Restrictions

 

4.1. Compliance with Laws.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4, Investor covenants that Shares may be disposed of only pursuant to an effective registration statement under, and in compliance with the requirements of, the Securities Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable state, federal or foreign securities laws.  In connection with any transfer of Shares other than (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) to the Company or (iii) pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (provided that the transferor provides the Company with reasonable assurances (in the form of seller and broker representation letters) that such securities may be sold pursuant to such rule), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company and the Transfer Agent, at the transferor’s expense, an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Transfer Agent, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer Agent, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such Shares under Securities Act.  As a condition of transfer (other than pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence), any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement with respect to such transferred Shares.

 

4.2. Legends.  Certificates evidencing Shares shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form, until such time as they are not required under Section 4.3 or applicable law:

 

  

49

  

 

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (B) AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR BLUE SKY LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS TRANSFER AGENT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT (PROVIDED THAT THE TRANSFEROR PROVIDES THE COMPANY WITH REASONABLE ASSURANCES (IN THE FORM OF SELLER AND BROKER REPRESENTATION LETTERS) THAT THE SECURITIES MAY BE SOLD PURSUANT TO SUCH RULE).  NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE BY THE ISSUER AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF THE EXEMPTION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT FOR RESALES OF THESE SECURITIES.

 

4.3. Removal of Legends.  The restrictive legend set forth in Section 4.2 above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such restrictive legend or any other restrictive legend to the holder of the applicable Shares upon which it is stamped, if (i) such Shares are registered for resale under the Securities Act, (ii) such Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (if the transferor is not an affiliate of the Company), or (iii) such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) as to such Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions.  Following the date Rule 144 becomes available for the resale of Shares, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under 144(c) (1) (or Rule 144(i) (2), if applicable) as to Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, the Company shall instruct the Transfer Agent to remove the legend from Shares and shall cause its counsel to issue any legend removal opinion required by the Transfer Agent.  Any fees (with respect to the Transfer Agent, Company counsel or otherwise) associated with the issuance of such opinion or the removal of such legend shall be borne by the Company.  If a legend is no longer required pursuant to the foregoing, the Company will no later than three (3) trading days following the delivery by Investor to the Transfer Agent (with notice to the Company) of a legended certificate or instrument representing such Shares (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer) and a representation letter to the extent required by Section 4.1, deliver or cause to be delivered to Investor a certificate or instrument (as the case may be) representing such Shares that is free from all restrictive legends.  The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4.3.

 

  

50

  

 

4.4.           Acknowledgement.  Investor hereunder acknowledges its primary responsibilities under the Securities Act and accordingly will not sell or otherwise transfer Shares or any interest therein without complying with the requirements of the Securities Act.
