                         NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN

                              BOSTROM HOLDING, INC.
                          MANAGEMENT STOCK OPTION PLAN

                                    ARTICLE I

                                 Purpose of Plan

            The Bostrom Holding, Inc. Management Stock Option Plan (the "Plan")
of Bostrom Holding, Inc. (the "Company"), adopted by the Board of Directors of
the Company on May __, 2004, for executive and other key employees of the
Company, is intended to advance the best interests of the Company by providing
those persons who have a substantial responsibility for its management and
growth with additional incentives by allowing them to acquire an ownership
interest in the Company and thereby encouraging them to contribute to the
success of the Company and to remain in its employ. The availability and
offering of stock options under the Plan also increases the Company's ability to
attract and retain individuals of exceptional managerial talent upon whom, in
large measure, the sustained progress, growth and profitability of the Company
depends.

                                    ARTICLE V

Options to Participants in accordance with this Article V.

or money order) or, in the discretion of the Committee, by delivery of a
promissory note (if in accordance with policies approved by the Board).

            5.6   Terms of Options. The Committee shall determine the term of
each Option, which term shall in no event exceed ten years from the date of
grant.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                               General Provisions

            6.1   Conditions and Limitations on Exercise. Options may be made
exercisable in one or more installments, upon the happening of certain events,
upon the passage of a specified period of time, upon the fulfillment of certain
conditions or upon the achievement by the Company of certain performance goals,
as the Committee shall decide in each case when the Options are granted.

            6.2   Sale of the Company. In the event of a Sale of the Company,
the Committee or the Board may provide, in its discretion, that the Options
shall become immediately exercisable by any Participants who are employed by the
Company at the time of the Sale of the Company and/or that all Options shall
terminate if not exercised as of the date of the Sale of the Company or other
prescribed period of time.

            6.3   Written Agreement. Each Option granted hereunder to a
Participant shall be embodied in a written agreement (an "Option Agreement")
which shall be signed by the Participant and by the Chairman or the President of
the Company for and in the name and on behalf of the Company and shall be
subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan prescribed in the Agreement
(including, but not limited to, (i) the right of the Company and such other
Persons as the Committee shall designate ("Designees") to repurchase from each
Participant, and such Participant's transferees, all shares of Common Stock
issued or issuable to such Participant on the exercise of an Option in the event
of such Participant's termination of employment, (ii) rights of first refusal
granted to the Company and Designees, (iii) holdback and other registration
right restrictions in the event of a public registration of any equity
securities of the Company and (iv) any other terms and conditions which the
Committee shall deem necessary and desirable).

            6.4   Listing, Registration and Compliance with Laws and
Regulations. Options shall be subject to the requirement that if at any time the
Committee shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or
qualification of the shares subject to the Options upon any securities exchange
or under any state or federal securities or other law or regulation, or the
consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or
desirable as a condition to or in connection with the granting of the Options or
the issuance or purchase of shares thereunder, no Options may be granted or
exercised, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration,
qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of
any conditions not acceptable to the Committee. The holders of such Options
shall supply the

<PAGE>

Company with such certificates, representations and information as the Company
shall request and shall otherwise cooperate with the Company in obtaining such
listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval. In the case of
officers and other Persons subject to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, the Committee may at any time impose any limitations
upon the exercise of an Option that, in the Committee's discretion, are
necessary or desirable in order to comply with such Section 16(b) and the rules
and regulations thereunder. If the Company, as part of an offering of securities
or otherwise, finds it desirable because of federal or state regulatory
requirements to reduce the period during which any Options may be exercised, the
Committee, may, in its discretion and without the Participant's consent, so
reduce such period on not less than 15 days written notice to the holders
thereof.

            6.5   Nontransferability. Options may not be transferred other than
by will or the laws of descent and distribution and, during the lifetime of the
Participant, may be exercised only by such Participant (or his legal guardian or
legal representative). In the event of the death of a Participant, exercise of
Options granted hereunder shall be made only:

                  (i)   by the executor or administrator of the estate of the
      deceased Participant or the Person or Persons to whom the deceased
      Participant's rights under the Option shall pass by will or the laws of
      descent and distribution; and

                  (ii)  to the extent that the deceased Participant was entitled
      thereto at the date of his death, unless otherwise provided by the
      Committee in such Participant's Option Agreement.

            6.6   Expiration of Options. Normal Expiration. In no event shall
any part of any Option be exercisable after the date of expiration thereof (the
"Expiration Date"), as determined by the Committee pursuant to paragraph 5.6
above.

            (a)   Early Expiration Upon Termination of Employment. Except as
otherwise provided by the Committee in the Option Agreement, any portion of a
Participant's Option that was not vested and exercisable on the date of the
termination of such Participant's employment shall expire and be forfeited as of
such date, and any portion of a Participant's Option that was vested and
exercisable on the date of the termination of such Participant's employment
shall expire and be forfeited as of such date, except that: (i) if any
Participant dies or becomes subject to any Disability, such Participant's Option
shall expire 180 days after the date of his death or Disability, but in no event
after the Expiration Date, (ii) if any Participant retires (with the approval of
the Board), his Option shall expire 90 days after the date of his retirement,
but in no event after the Expiration Date, and (iii) if any Participant is
discharged other than for Cause, such Participant's Option shall expire 30 days
after the date of his discharge, but in no event after the Expiration Date.

            6.7   Withholding of Taxes. The Company shall be entitled, if
necessary or desirable, to withhold from any Participant from any amounts due
and payable by the Company to such Participant (or secure payment from such
Participant in lieu of withholding) the amount of any withholding or other tax
due from the Company with respect to any shares issuable under the Options, and
the Company may defer such issuance unless indemnified to its satisfaction.

<PAGE>

            6.8   Adjustments. In the event of a reorganization,
recapitalization, stock dividend or stock split, or combination or other change
in the shares of Common Stock or any merger, consolidation or exchange of
shares, the Board or the Committee may, in order to prevent the dilution or
enlargement of rights under outstanding Options, make such adjustments in the
number and type of shares authorized by the Plan, the number and type of shares
covered by outstanding Options and the exercise prices specified therein as may
be determined to be appropriate and equitable.

            6.9   Rights of Participants. Nothing in this Plan or in any Option
Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to
terminate any Participant's employment at any time (with or without Cause), nor
confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company
for any period of time or to continue his present (or any other) rate of
compensation, and except as otherwise provided under this Plan or by the
Committee in the Option Agreement, in the event of any Participant's termination
of employment (including, but not limited to, the termination by the Company
without Cause) any portion of such Participant's Option that was not previously
vested and exercisable shall expire and be forfeited as of the date of such
termination. No employee shall have a right to be selected as a Participant or,
having been so selected, to be selected again as a Participant.

            6.10  Amendment, Suspension and Termination of Plan. The Board or
the Committee may suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any
time and may amend it from time to time in such respects as the Board or the
Committee may deem advisable; provided that no such amendment shall be made
without stockholder approval to the extent such approval is required by law,
agreement or the rules of any exchange upon which the Common Stock is listed,
and no such amendment, suspension or termination shall impair the rights of
Participants under outstanding Options without the consent of the Participants
affected thereby. No Options shall be granted hereunder after the tenth
anniversary of the adoption of the Plan.

            6.11  Amendment, Modification and Cancellation of Outstanding
Options. The Committee may amend or modify any Option in any manner to the
extent that the Committee would have had the authority under the Plan initially
to grant such Option; provided that no such amendment or modification shall
impair the rights of any Participant under any Option without the consent of
such Participant. With the Participant's consent, the Committee may cancel any
Option and issue a new Option to such Participant.

            6.12  Indemnification. In addition to such other rights of
indemnification as they may have as members of the Board or the Committee, the
members of the Committee shall be indemnified by the Company against all costs
and expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding to which they or any of them may be party by reason of any action
taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any Option
granted thereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof
(provided such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by
the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action,
suit or proceeding; provided that any such Committee member shall be entitled to
the indemnification rights set forth in this paragraph 6.12 only if such member
has acted in good faith and in a manner that such member reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to
any

<PAGE>

criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that such
conduct was unlawful, and further provided that upon the institution of any such
action, suit or proceeding a Committee member shall give the Company written
notice thereof and an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the
same before such Committee member undertakes to handle and defend it on his own
behalf.

                           RECAPITALIZATION AGREEMENT

         THIS RECAPITALIZATION AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of
July __, 2004 among Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company") and the stockholders listed on the signatory pages hereto (the
"Stockholders"). Except as otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used
herein are defined in Section 5 hereof.

         The Company's outstanding capital stock consists of 6,698.01 shares of
Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Class A Common"),
121,296.25 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Class
B Common"), 30,324.00 shares of Class C Common Stock, par value $.01 per share
(the "Class C Common"), 97,964.00 shares of Class D-1 Common Stock, par value
$.01 per share (the "Class D-1 Common"), zero shares of Class D-2 Common Stock,
par value $.01 per share (the "Class D-2 Common") and 24,491.00 shares of Class
E Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Class E Common"). The Company's
outstanding classes of Common Stock generally differ with respect to dividend,
liquidation preference and voting rights as provided in the Company's existing
certificate of incorporation (the "Current Certificate"). The holders of the
Company's outstanding capital stock own such shares in the respective amounts
set forth opposite their individual names on Schedule I hereto. The Class A
Common, Class B Common, Class C Common, Class D-1 Common, Class D-2 Common and
Class E Common are collectively referred to herein as the "Common Stock."

         On May 20, 2004, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Trim
Merger Co., entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Trim Systems, Inc.
("Trim"), pursuant to which Trim Merger Co. will be merged with and into Trim
(the "Trim Merger"), upon and subject to the terms and conditions outlined
therein. Pursuant to the Trim Merger, the holders of outstanding shares of
capital stock and warrants of Trim will receive in the aggregate 41,626.56
shares of Class A Common, 27,932.06 shares of Class B Common and 5,568.75 shares
of Class C Common. The holders of outstanding shares of capital stock and
warrants of Trim will be issued shares of Common Stock in connection with the
Trim Merger in the respective amounts set forth opposite their individual names
on Schedule II hereto. Trim Merger will be effected prior to consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Agreement. All such shares of Common Stock to
be issued in the Trim Merger are referred to herein as the "Trim Shares."

         The Company has filed a Registration Statement on Form S-l
(Registration No. 333-115708) with the Securities and Exchange Commission
relating to an initial public offering (the "Initial Public Offering") of the
Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "New Common"), under the
Securities Act. In connection with the Initial Public Offering, the Company
intends to amend and restate its certificate of incorporation in order to, among
other things, reclassify all of its outstanding classes of Common Stock into a
single class of New Common on a share-for-share basis (the "Reclassification")
and, immediately thereafter, effect a 38.991-to-one stock split of the New
Common (the "Stock Split"). The terms of the New Common are set forth in the
Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Restated
Certificate"), to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware
and to be effective in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

<PAGE>

         In order to adjust the ownership of the Company among the Stockholders
so as to give effect to the relative rights and privileges of the existing
Common Stock, which will be eliminated in the Reclassification, the parties
hereto agree as follows:

         Section 1. Common Stock Ownership Reallocation.

         1A. Reallocation Transactions. Each of the Stockholders listed on the
schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A (each a "Contributing Stockholder") hereby
agrees to deliver to the Company that number of shares of Class C Common or
Class E Common, as the case may be, as will be set forth opposite their
individual names on Exhibit A as of the Closing and, upon such delivery, such
shares of Class C Common and Class E Common shall be canceled by the Company
(the "Canceled Shares"). The Company shall immediately thereafter issue to those
Stockholders listed on Exhibit B (each an "Adjusted Stockholder") that number
and class of shares of Common Stock of the Company as will be set forth opposite
their individual names on Exhibit B as of the Closing on account of the shares
of Common Stock held by such Stockholders (the "Additional Shares" and together
with the Canceled Shares, the "Subject Shares").

         1B. Calculation of the Subject Shares. The number of Canceled Shares to
be delivered to the Company by the Contributing Stockholders as set forth on
Exhibit A as of the Closing and the number of Additional Shares to be issued by
the Company to each Adjusted Stockholder as will be set forth on Exhibit B as of
the Closing shall be calculated in a manner so that each Stockholder will hold,
after giving effect to the Reclassification and Stock Split, that number of
shares of New Common such Stockholder would receive under the Current
Certificate upon a Distribution (as defined in the Current Certificate) by the
Company of a number of shares of New Common equal to the Pre-IPO Company Value
divided by (ii) the Pre-Split IPO Price. "Pre-IPO Company Value" means an amount
equal to (i) the Pre-Split IPO Price multiplied by (ii) the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding (including the Trim Shares). "Pre-Split IPO
Price" means an amount equal to (A) the initial price to the public per share of
New Common in the Initial Public Offering multiplied by (B) 38.991.

         1C. Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The Company has previously
authorized the amendment (the "Charter Amendment") of the Current Certificate
attached hereto as Exhibit C and the further amendment and restatement of the
Current Certificate in the form of the Restated Certificate attached hereto as
Exhibit D, and submitted the same to the Stockholders for approval. The Charter
Amendment will be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and
become effective prior to the Closing. The Reclassification and Stock Split will
be effected upon the effectiveness of the Restated Certificate. The Restated
Certificate shall be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware
and become effective immediately after the Closing. Each of the Stockholders
agrees to vote in favor of the adoption of the Charter Amendment and the
Restated Certificate.

         1D. Notice. Prior to the Closing (as defined in Section 1F), the
Company shall calculate the number of Canceled Shares to be delivered to the
Company by the Contributing Stockholders and the number of Additional Shares to
be issued to each Adjusted Stockholder as set forth above in Section 1B, and
shall deliver notice to each Stockholder of the results of such

                                       2
<PAGE>

calculation in accordance with Section 6K as soon as possible thereafter. The
Company's calculations shall be conclusive and binding upon each Stockholder.

         1E. Delivery/Issuance of the Subject Shares. At the Closing or as soon
as practicable thereafter, the Company shall, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, issue and deliver, or cause the Company's transfer
agent to deliver, to each Adjusted Stockholder stock certificates evidencing the
Additional Shares to be issued by the Company to each such Adjusted Stockholder,
registered in each such Adjusted Stockholder's name or its nominee's name, on
account of the shares of Common Stock held by such Adjusted Stockholder and each
Contributing Stockholder shall deliver to the Company the stock certificates
representing the Canceled Shares duly endorsed for transfer to the Company,
which shall be canceled by the Company. The number of Canceled Shares delivered
to the Company and the number of Additional Shares to be issued by the Company
shall be that as calculated pursuant to Section 1B hereof.

         1F. The Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated hereby
(the "Closing") shall take place at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP, 200 E.
Randolph Drive, Chicago, IL, immediately after the execution of the Underwriting
Agreement and completion of calculations required to effect the transactions
contemplated by Section 1A and delivery of the required notice pursuant to
Section 1D (the "Closing Time"), or at such other place as may be mutually
agreeable to the Company and the Stockholders. The transactions contemplated by
this Agreement shall be deemed effective as of the Closing Time.

         Section 2. Conditions of Each Stockholder's Obligation at the Closing.
The obligation of each Stockholder to effect the transactions contemplated
hereby at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction as of the Closing of the
following conditions:

         2A. Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties
contained in Section 4 hereof shall be true and correct in all material respects
at and as of the Closing as though then made, except to the extent of changes
caused by the transactions expressly contemplated herein.

         2B. Underwriting Agreement. The Company shall have executed the
Underwriting Agreement.

         2C. Amendment/Restatement of Certificate of Incorporation. The Charter
Amendment in the form attended hereto as Exhibit C shall have been filed and
effective under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the
Restated Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D shall have been
approved by the stockholders of the Company in accordance with the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and shall not have been further amended
or modified.

         2D. Securities Law Compliance. The Company shall have made all filings
under all applicable federal and state securities laws necessary to consummate
the acquisition of the Canceled Shares and the issuance of the Additional Shares
pursuant to this Agreement in compliance with such laws.

                                       3
<PAGE>

         2E. Closing Documents. The Company shall have delivered to each
Stockholder such documents relating to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement as any Stockholder may reasonably request.

         2F. Proceedings. All corporate and other proceedings taken or required

enforceable by, any subsequent holder of such Common Stock.

         6G. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement
shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
