                                     Closing

      The Closing is expressly conditioned upon, and shall be contemporaneous
with, the closing of Purchaser's contracts with certain other parties commonly
referred to as the "JPI Entities", such contracts dated as of August 6, 2004,
for the sale and purchase of properties located in various states (the "REIT
Properties"), as such contracts may be amended, modified, or restated from time
to time upon agreement of the parties thereto. The Closing shall take place on
or before November 30, 2004, but may be extended for an additional thirty (30)
days upon Purchaser's request for such extension. It is Purchaser's intention to
close the purchase of the Property, as well as the REIT Properties, and place
all of these properties into a real estate investment trust public offering.
Seller understands and agrees that Purchaser's obligations hereunder are
expressly contingent and conditioned upon the successful closing and completion
of the purchase of the REIT Properties and said public offering. Time is not of
the essence where the Closing Date is concerned.

              Damage, Destruction or Condemnation Prior to Closing

      Section 7.1 Damage or Destruction. If, at any time after the date hereof
and on or before the Closing Date, all or any portion of the Property is
damaged, destroyed or rendered inoperative by fire, flood, natural elements or
other causes beyond Seller's control (collectively, the "Damage"), then the
following shall apply:

            (a) If the Damage is not Material (as hereinafter defined),
      Purchaser shall proceed to close and purchase Seller's interest in the
      Property for the full purchase price; and Seller shall assign all rights
      to insurance proceeds as a result of the Damage to Purchaser.

            (b) If the Damage is Material, then Purchaser may elect either (a)
      to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller given at least ten
      (10) days prior to the Closing, whereupon neither party hereto shall have
      any further rights against or obligations to the other under this
      Agreement; or (b) proceed to Closing without any deduction from the
      Purchase Price to Seller, in which event Seller may assign all of Seller's
      right to receive insurance proceeds for the Damage to Purchaser.

            (c) If Purchaser elects to close the purchase of the Property in its
      condition (with respect to the Damage covered by insurance) on the Closing
      Date with an assignment of the insurance proceeds from Seller, Seller
      shall permit Purchaser to conduct any remaining settlement or other
      negotiations with the insurer as to the amount of proceeds payable on
      account of the Damage.

            (d) For the purposes of this Section 7.1, Damage shall be deemed to
      be "Material" if the cost of repairing such Damage equals or exceeds Two
      Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00).

      Section 7.2 Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing Date, all or any
portion of the Property is taken by, or made subject to, condemnation, eminent
domain or other governmental acquisition proceedings and as a result cannot be
operated in the same manner it was previously operated in with the same number
of housing units, or in the event of any change in the zoning designation of the
Land to the effect that the Property could not be operated in the same manner it
was previously operated in with the same number of housing units without a
variance, then Purchaser, at its sole option, may elect either:

            (a) to terminate this Contract by written notice to Seller given at
      or prior to the Closing, whereupon neither party hereto shall have any
      further rights against or obligations to the other under this Contract; or

                                        2
<PAGE>

            (b) to agree to close and deduct from the Purchase Price an amount
      equal to any sum previously paid to Seller for such governmental
      acquisition, in which event Seller shall assign, transfer and set over to
      Purchaser all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to any awards
      which may in the future be made on account of such governmental
      acquisition.

                    Representations and Warranties of Seller

      Section 8.1 Representation and Warranties. Seller represents and warrants
to the Purchaser that, as of the date hereof and on the Closing Date:

            (a) Title. Seller has good, marketable and indefeasible title in and
      to an undivided one-half (1/2) interest in and to the Property, subject
      only to such conditions, liens and encumbrances of which Purchaser is
      aware or is a co-obligor with Seller (the "Permitted Exceptions"); and
      will convey such title to Purchaser on the Closing Date free and clear of,
      or insured against, all options, rights, covenants, easements, liens and
      other rights in favor of third parties except the Permitted Exceptions and
      those created or allowed to be created by the managing entity during its
      management of the Property. Seller holds none of the Personal Property
      under a lease or installment sale contract. Neither Seller nor any of its
      affiliates owns any parcel of land which is contiguous with any portion of
      the Property. The Property is not subject to any outstanding agreements of
      sale or any options, liens, or other rights of third parties granted or
      allowed by Seller to acquire any interest therein claiming by, through or
      under Seller only, except as described in this Contract.

            (b) Organization. Seller is duly organized, validly existing and in
      good standing under the laws of the state of its organization, and is duly

            (d) Loan Documents. Copies of the Note and Loan Documents, including
      all assignments, amendments and other modifications, have been provided to
      Purchaser. Seller is not in default under the Note and/or the Loan
      Documents. The parties acknowledge that Lender's consent and a
      modification of the Loan will be necessary for the transaction
      contemplated hereby. Purchaser's obligations hereunder are expressly
      contingent and conditioned upon Lender consenting to Purchaser's
      assumption of the Loan on such terms as are acceptable to Purchaser.

            (e) Proceedings. To the best of Seller's knowledge, there are no
      attachments, executions, assignments for the benefit of creditors, or

      relief laws, contemplated by or pending or threatened against Seller or
      the Property.

      a party to any litigation, arbitration or administrative proceeding (i)
      with any person or entity having or claiming any interest in the Property,
      or (ii) affecting or questioning Seller's title to the Property or
      Seller's ability to perform its obligations under this Contract. Seller
      knows of no pending or threatened litigation, arbitration or
      administrative proceeding affecting or questioning Seller's title to, or
      use of, the Property or any part thereof, or Seller's ability to perform
      its obligations under this Contract.

            (g) Non-Foreign Status. The Seller is not a foreign person within
      the meaning of Sections 1445 and 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
      ("IRC"), i.e., the Seller is not a nonresident alien, foreign corporation,
      foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate (as those terms are
      defined in the IRC and Income Tax Regulations).

            (h) Other Rights. Except as Seller has otherwise disclosed to
      Purchaser, or except where Purchaser is also a party, Seller has no
      knowledge of any agreements or leases with respect to all or any part of
      the Property and no agreements which give any right to purchase the
      Property or any part thereof.

      for the Miscellaneous Contracts and the Permitted Exceptions.

            (j) Administrative Notices. Seller has not received notice of, and
      has no other knowledge or information of, any pending or contemplated
      change in any regulation, code, ordinance or law, or private restriction
      applicable to the Property, or any pending or threatened judicial or
      administrative action, or any action pending or threatened by adjacent
      land owners or other persons, or of any natural or artificial condition
      upon or affecting the Property, or any part thereof, any of which would
      result in any material change in the condition of the Property, or any
      part thereof, or would in any way limit or impede the operation of the
      Property.

            (k) Licenses. To the best of Seller's knowledge, all licenses,
      certificates and permits that are required to own, operate, use and
      maintain the Property have been obtained.

            (l) Claims. To the best of Seller's knowledge, there is no claim
      against any portion of the Property for or on account of work done,
      materials furnished or utilities supplied to the Property.

            (m) Assessments. To the best of Seller's knowledge, there are no

      there are no unpaid assessments or charges for the installation of such
      utilities or for making connection thereto that have not been fully paid.

            (n) Condemnation. Seller has no knowledge of any condemnation,
      eminent domain or similar proceedings having been instituted or threatened
      against the Property.

            (o) To the best of Seller's knowledge, there are no judgments,
      liens, actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened against Seller.

      Federal, State, County or local law or ordinance.

            (q) To the best of Seller's knowledge, all taxes required to be paid
      by Seller which if unpaid could constitute or result in a lien upon the
      Property, have been paid as of the Effective date of this Contract, and
      will be paid as of the date of Closing; all tax returns or reports
      required to be filed by Seller with any and all taxing agencies have been
      filed, which, if not filed, could constitute or result in a lien upon the
      Property as of the Effective Date of this Contract and will be filed as of
      the date of Closing.

            (r) Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that the Property has been
      managed by Purchaser's affiliate for the duration of the co-tenancy of the
      Property by Seller and Purchaser. The managing entity has conducted or

      Property ("Revenues"), shall be prorated as follows:

                  (i) Revenues attributable to room use or functions having

                  to and be retained by Seller.

                  (iii) Revenues representing advance payments or deposits which
                  are allocable in part to the period prior to and in part to
                  the period following 6:00 a.m. on the Closing Date shall be
                  prorated between the parties on per diem basis or on such

<PAGE>

To the extent Revenues are in the possession of Purchaser which are owing to
Seller, then one-half (1/2) of the same should be credited to Seller at the
Closing.

            (b) Accounts Receivable. Purchaser shall purchase from Seller, in
      cash at Closing, accounts receivable from tenants or registered guests who
      have not checked out and/or who are occupying rooms at 11:59 PM on the day
      preceding Closing. Such rents or accounts receivable shall be defined as
      the "tray ledger". All other rents or accounts receivable originating
      prior to the Closing Date shall be distributed in the same manner
      distributed prior to Closing. One half (1/2) of all amounts collected or
      received after Closing in payment of any particular rent or receivable
      accrued prior to the Closing Date, other than the tray ledger, shall be
      remitted by Purchaser to Seller on a weekly basis, in the same form as
      received. Seller shall have the right, at its expense, to audit
      Purchaser's handling of such accounts during normal business hours at the
      Property. Purchaser will cooperate with Seller with regard to collection
      of Seller's share of all rents or receivables, but Purchaser will have not
      liability with regard to failure to collect such receivables. If the
      aforesaid audit reveals Purchaser has misstated the accounts by 3% or
      more, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for all reasonable expenses
      incurred by Seller in connection with said audit within ten (10) days of
      Seller's request therefore.

            (c) Cash on Hand. Purchaser shall pay Seller at the Closing an
      amount equal to one-half (1/2) of all cash on hand as of the Closing and,
      in consideration of such payment, Purchaser shall receive such cash on
      hand at Closing.

            (d) Taxes. Ad valorem taxes and personal property taxes (if any) for
      the Property for the current calendar year shall be prorated to date of
      Closing, and the Seller shall credit to the Purchaser at Closing, the
      Seller's pro-rata portion of such taxes. The Seller's pro rata portion of
      such taxes shall be based upon taxes actually assessed for the current
      calendar year. If, for any reason, ad valorem taxes and personal property
      taxes (if any) for the current calendar year have not been assessed on the
      Property, such prorating shall be estimated based upon ad valorem taxes
      and personal property taxes (if any) for the immediately preceding
      calendar year, and adjusted when actual amounts are available.

            (e) Expenses. All other income and ordinary operating expenses for
      or pertaining to the Property, including, but not limited to, public
      utility charges, maintenance, service charges, housekeeping expenses and
      all other normal operating charges of the Property shall be prorated at
      the Closing effective as of 6:00 a.m. on the Closing Date. All utility
      meters shall be read on the Closing Date and Seller shall pay to Purchaser
      an amount equal to one-half (1/2) of all utility charges incurred or
      accrued up to the reading of such utility meters. In the event the meter
      readings are not available at Closing, utility costs will be prorated
      based on the best information available.

            (f) Reproration. In the event any adjustments pursuant to this
      Section 11.5 are, subsequent to Closing, found to be erroneous, then
      either party hereto who is entitled to additional monies shall invoice the
      other party for such additional amounts as may be owing, accompanied by
      copies of all paid statements, and such amount shall be paid within ten
      (10) days from receipt of the invoice. The obligations of Seller and
      Purchaser under this Paragraph 11.5 shall survive the Closing hereof for a
      period of ninety (90) days.

      Section 11.6 Possession. Possession of Seller's interest in the Property
shall be delivered to Purchaser by Seller at the Closing, subject only to such
rights of others as have been expressly disclosed herein.

      Section 11.7 Closing Costs. Seller shall pay its proportionate share of
the prorations set forth in Section 11.5. Purchaser shall pay its proportionate
share of the prorations set forth in Section 11.5, all realty, transfer, sales,
deed or documentary taxes, any loan assumption or termination fees and
associated costs and expenses required for the assumption of the Loan. Each
party hereto represents that it has not used the services of a real estate
broker in this transaction and each agrees to indemnify the other for any claims
against the other by any broker claiming through the indemnifying party. In
addition to Seller paying its proportionate share of any prorations pursuant to
Section 11.5, Seller will also pay for deed preparation and the title
commitment, provided, however, Seller may use the services of Reynolds,
Johnston, Hinton, Thomas and Pepper, LLP, for title examination and title
insurance commitment. Each party shall pay its own attorney

                                       8

      Section 11.8 Seller's Indemnity. The Seller agrees to indemnify and hold
the Purchaser harmless of and from any and all liabilities, claims, demands and
expenses, of any kind or nature (except those items which by this Contract
specifically become the obligation of the Purchaser) arising or accruing prior
to the date of Closing and which are in any way related to Seller's ownership,
maintenance or operation of the Property, and all expenses related thereto,
including, without limitation, court costs and attorneys' fees.

      Section 11.9 Purchaser's Indemnity. The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and
hold the Seller harmless of and from any and all liabilities, claims, demands
and expenses, of any kind or nature (except those items which by this Contract
specifically remain the obligation of the Seller) arising or accruing subsequent
to the date of Closing and which are in any way related to Purchaser's
ownership, maintenance or operation of the Property, and all expenses related
thereto, including, without limitation, court costs and attorneys' fees.

      Section 11.10 Notice of Claim. In the event either party hereto receives
notice of a claim or demand, which results or may result in indemnification
pursuant to Section 11.8 or 11.9, such party shall immediately give notice
thereof to the other party to this contract. The party receiving such notice
shall immediately take such measures as may be reasonably required to properly
and effectively defend such claim, and may defend same with counsel of his own
choosing. In the event the party receiving such notice fails to properly and
effectively defend such claim, and in the event such party is liable therefor,
then the party so giving such notice may defend such claim at the expense of the
party receiving such notice.

Contract are satisfied and in the event all covenants and agreements to be
performed by Seller prior to Closing are fully performed, and in the event that
performance of this Contract is tendered by the Seller and the sale is not

then Seller shall have all rights and remedies available under this Agreement
and the Commonwealth of Kentucky including the rights of specific performance
and damages, including without limitation attorney fees and costs.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     1. Pursuant to Section 27 of the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement,
dated as of May 11, 1998 (the “Rights Agreement”), between Cooper Tire & Rubber
Company (the “Company”), and The Fifth Third Bank, as rights agent (the “Rights

Company, by resolution adopted by its Directors, and the Rights Agent hereby
amend the Rights Agreement as follows:

          (a) Section 1(f) of the Rights Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety as follows:

                    “ ‘Business Day’ shall mean any day other than a Saturday,
Sunday or a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is closed.”

          (b) Section 18(a) of the Rights Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its

entirety as follows:

                    “(a) The Company agrees to pay to the Rights Agent reasonable
compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder and, from
time to time, on demand of the Rights Agent, its reasonable
expenses, including reasonable fees and disbursements of its
counsel, incurred in connection with the execution and
administration of this Agreement and the exercise and performance
of its duties hereunder. The Company shall indemnify the Rights
Agent for, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, or
expense, incurred without gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct on the part of the Rights Agent, for anything done or
omitted by the Rights Agent in connection with the acceptance and
administration of this Agreement, including the costs and expenses
of defending against any claim of liability hereunder.”

          (c) Section 20(c) of the Rights Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety as follows:

                    “(c) The Rights Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its
own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.”

          (d) Section 31 of the Rights Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety as follows:

                    “Section 31. Governing Law. This Agreement, each Right and
each Rights Certificate issued hereunder shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware;
provided, however, that Sections 18, 19, 20 and 21 shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the
State of Illinois (or the state of incorporation of any successor
Rights Agent).”

          (e) Section 21 of the Rights Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety as follows:

                    “Section 21. Change of Rights Agent. The Rights Agent or any
successor Rights Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties
under this Agreement upon thirty days’ prior notice in writing
mailed to the Company, and to each transfer agent of the Preferred
Stock and the Company Common Stock, by registered or certified
mail, and to the holders of Rights Certificates by first class
mail. The Company may remove the Rights Agent or any successor
Rights Agent upon thirty days’ prior notice in writing, mailed to
the Rights Agent or successor Rights Agent, as the case may be, and
to each transfer agent of the Preferred Stock and the Company
Common Stock, by registered or certified mail, and to the holders
of Rights Certificates by first class mail. If the Rights Agent
shall resign or be removed or shall otherwise become incapable of
acting, the Company shall appoint a successor to the Rights Agent.
If the Company shall fail to make such

appointment within a period
of thirty days after giving notice of such removal or after it has
been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the
resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent or by the holder of a
Rights Certificate (who shall, with such notice, submit such
holder’s Rights Certificate for inspection by the Company), then
any registered holder of any Rights Certificate may apply to any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Rights
Agent. Any successor Rights Agent, whether appointed by the
Company or by such a court, shall be (a) a corporation, limited
liability company or trust company (or similar form of entity under
the laws of the United States or any state of the United States),
in good standing and authorized to conduct business under the laws
of the United States or any state of the United States, which is
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust or stock
transfer powers and is subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authority and which has at the time of its
appointment as Rights Agent a combined capital and surplus of at
least $10,000,000 or (b) an Affiliate controlled by an entity
described in clause (a) of this sentence. After appointment, the
successor Rights Agent shall be vested with the same powers,
rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally
named as Rights Agent without further act or deed; but the
predecessor Rights Agent shall deliver and transfer to the
successor Rights Agent any property at the time held by it
hereunder, and execute and deliver any further assurance,
conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose. Not later than
the effective date of any such appointment, the Company shall file
notice thereof in writing with the predecessor Rights Agent and
each transfer agent of the Preferred Stock and the Company Common
Stock, and mail a notice thereof in writing to the registered
holders of the Rights Certificates. Failure to give any notice
provided for in this Section 21, however, or any defect therein,
shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or
removal of the Rights Agent or the appointment of the successor
Rights Agent.”

          (f) The Company and ComputerShare Investor Services, LLC
(“ComputerShare”) agree that the address and contact information set
forth above for ComputerShare will be the information for ComputerShare
for purposes of Section 25 of the Rights Agreement.

          (g) The Rights Agreement shall not otherwise be supplemented or
amended by virtue of this Amendment, Removal and Appointment Agreement,
but shall remain in full force and effect.

          (h) Capitalized terms used without other definition in Section 1 of
this Amendment, Removal and Appointment Agreement shall be used as
defined in the Rights Agreement.

          (i) This Amendment, Removal and Appointment Agreement shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Ohio.

          (j) This Amendment, Removal and Appointment Agreement may be
executed (including by telecopier) in one or more counterparts, including

when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

          (k) Exhibits B and C to the Rights Agreement shall be deemed amended
in a manner consistent with this Amendment, Removal and Appointment
Agreement.
