    2005
      EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN

     

    NON-QUALIFIED
      STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

    (For
      Officers and Employees)

     

     

    Pursuant
      to the Rogers Corporation 2005 Equity Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), Rogers
      Corporation (the "Company") hereby grants to   (the "Optionee"), a
      non-qualified stock option (the "Stock Option") to purchase a maximum of shares
      of capital stock of the Company (the "Capital Stock") at the price of $ per
      share, subject to the terms of this Agreement.  The Stock Option is granted
      as of   (the "Grant Date").

     

    
      	
              1.

            	
              Timing
                of Exercise. 
                This Stock Option shall be immediately exercisable in full as of
                the Grant
                Date.  This Stock Option shall remain exercisable until it expires on
                the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date, unless the Stock Option
                is sooner
                terminated as provided herein.

              Sale
                of Issued Shares. 
                In the event the Optionee exercises the Stock Option prior to the
                fourth
                anniversary of the Grant Date, except as provided in Section 5 below,
                the
                shares of Capital Stock acquired upon such exercise (the “Issued Shares”)
                may not be sold, assigned, transferred (including any transfer to
                the
                Company in payment of the option price or withholding taxes of any
                stock
                option), pledged, given away or in any other manner disposed of or
                encumbered, by the Optionee until the earliest to occur of: (a) the
                termination of the Optionee’s employment with the Company and its
                Subsidiaries by reason of Retirement (as defined in the Plan); (b)
                the
                termination of the Optionee’s employment with the Company and its
                Subsidiaries by reason of death; (c) the termination of the Optionee’s
                employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries by reason of Disability
                (as defined in the Plan); (d) the involuntary termination of the
                Optionee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries by the Company
                and/or its Subsidiaries for any reason; (e) a Sale Event Determination
                Date (as defined in Section 7 below); and (f) the fourth anniversary
                of
                the Grant Date (the earliest of such dates or events, the “Restriction
                Termination Date”). In order to effectuate the foregoing, upon the
                exercise of the Stock Option prior to the Restriction Termination
                Date and
                until the Restriction Termination Date, the Issued Shares shall,
                at the
                discretion of the Company, either be retained by the Company and/or
                shall
                bear a legend describing the restrictions on the sale of the Issued
                Shares
                as described herin.

              Termination
                of Stock Option.
                If the Optionee’s employment by the Company and its Subsidiaries
                terminates for any reason, other than death, Disability, or Retirement
                (as
                defined in the Plan and described below), the Stock Option may thereafter
                be exercised for a period of three months from the date of termination
                of
                employment or the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date, if
                earlier.

              Termination
                by Reason of Death.
                If
                the Optionee’s employment by the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates
                by reason of death, the Stock Option may

            

    

    
    

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    
      	 	 	thereafter be exercised by the Optionee’s beneficiary for
              a period of five years from the date of death or until the tenth
              anniversary of the Grant Date, if earlier.

      	 	
              b.

            	
              Termination
                by Reason of Disability or Retirement. If
                the Optionee’s employment by the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates
                by reason of Disability (as defined in the Plan), the Stock Option
                may
                thereafter be exercised for a period of five years from the date
                of such
                termination of employment or until the tenth anniversary of the Grant
                Date, if earlier. If the Optionee’s employment by the Company and its
                Subsidiaries terminates by reason of Retirement (as defined in the
                Plan),
                the Stock Option may thereafter be exercised for a period of five
                years
                from the date of such termination of employment or until the tenth
                anniversary of the Grant Date, if
                earlier.

              Manner
                of Exercise.
                This Stock Option may be exercised in whole or in part by giving
                written
                or electronic notice of exercise to the Company or the Company’s designee
                designated to accept such notices specifying the number of shares
                to be
                purchased. Payment of the purchase price may be made by one or more
                of the
                following methods:

            

    

     

    
      
        	 	
                a.

              	
                
                  In
                    cash, by check, or by other instrument acceptable to the
                    Company;

                

              

      

      
        	 	
                b.

              	
                
                  In
                    Capital Stock (either actually or by attestation) valued at its
                    Fair
                    Market Value (as defined in the Plan) as of the date of exercise;
                    or

                

              

        	 	c. 	By a combination of (a) and
                (b)

      

       

    

    The
      Optionee may also deliver to the Company or the Company’s designee a properly
      executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker
      to
      promptly deliver to the Company cash, a check or other instrument acceptable
      to
      the Company to pay the purchase price; provided that the Optionee and the broker
      shall comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity
      and other agreements as the Company shall prescribe as a condition of such
      payment. Payment instructions will be received subject to
      collection.

    

    Ownership
      of shares of Capital Stock to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of the
      Stock
      Option will be contingent upon receipt by the Company of the full purchase
      price
      for such shares and the fulfillment of any other requirements contained in
      the
      Plan, this Agreement and applicable provisions of law. In the event the Optionee
      chooses to pay the purchase price by previously owned shares of Capital Stock
      through the attestation method, only the net amount of shares shall be
      issue.

              Stock
                Option Transferable in Limited Circumstances.
                This Stock Option, and, prior to the Restriction Termination Date,
                the
                Issued Shares, may be transferred to a family member, trust or charitable
                organization to the extent permitted by applicable law; provided
                that the
                transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by the
                terms of
                this Agreement and the Plan. Except as permitted in the preceding
                sentence, the Stock Option, and, prior to the Restriction Termination
                Date, the Issued Shares, are not transferable otherwise than by will
                or by
                the laws of descent and distribution, and this Stock Option shall
                be
                exercisable during the Optionee’s lifetime only by the
                Optionee.

              Stock
                Option Shares.
                The shares to be issued under the Plan are shares of the Capital
                Stock of
                the Company as constituted as of the date of this Agreement, subject
                to
                adjustment as provided in Section 3(b) of the
                Plan.

              Sale
                Event.
                Upon a determination by the Company that an event has occurred that
                will
                or is likely to result in a Sale Event (as defined in the Plan),
                the
                restrictions on the sale of the Issued Shares described in Section
                2 above
                shall cease immediately (or as of the date which is 180 days preceding
                such Sale Event, if later than such determination) (such date, the
“Sale
                Event Determination Date”). The occurrence of a Sale Event shall cause
                this Stock Option to terminate, to the extent not then exercised,

                in whole or in part, by electing (i) to make a payment to the Company
                in
                cash, by check or by other instrument acceptable to the Company,
                (ii)

                Organization Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the
                “Committee”), to deliver to the Company a number of already-owned shares
                of Capital Stock having a value not greater than the amount required
                to be
                withheld (such number may be rounded up to the next whole share),
                or (iii)

                in the
                following sentence. The Committee may also permit, in its sole discretion
                and in accordance with such procedures as it deems appropriate, the
                Optionee to have the Company withhold a number of shares which would
                otherwise be issued pursuant to this Stock Option having a value
                not
                greater than the amount required to be withheld (such number may
                be
                rounded up to the next whole share). The value of shares to be withheld
                or
                delivered (if permitted by the Committee) shall be based on the Fair
                Market Value of a share of Capital Stock as of the date the amount
                of tax
                to be withheld is to be determined.

                the Optionee’s primary beneficiaries or contingent beneficiaries, as the
                case may be.
