AMENDMENT NO. 1

COOPER TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY PRE-TAX SAVINGS PLAN (TEXARKANA)

The Plan named above gives the Employer the right to amend it at any time. According to that
right, the Plan is amended effective October 15, 2008, as follows:

By striking the third paragraph from subparagraph (a) in the EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS SECTION of
Article III and substituting the following:

The elective deferral agreement to stop Elective Deferral Contributions may be entered into
on any date. Such elective deferral agreement shall be effective as soon as
administratively feasible following the date on which the elective deferral agreement is
entered into.

This amendment is made an integral part of the aforesaid Plan and is controlling over the terms of
said Plan with respect to the particular items addressed expressly herein. All other provisions of
the Plan remain unchanged and controlling.

Unless otherwise stated on any page of this amendment, eligibility for benefits and the amount of
any benefits payable to or on behalf of an individual who is an Inactive Participant on the
effective date(s) stated above, shall be determined according to the provisions of the aforesaid
Plan as in effect on the day before he became an Inactive Participant.

Signing this amendment, the Employer, as plan sponsor, has made the decision to adopt this plan
amendment. The Employer is acting in reliance on its own discretion and on the legal and tax
advice of its own advisors, and not that of any member of the Principal Financial Group or any
representative of a member company of the Principal Financial Group.

Signed this 22nd day of October, 2008.

Dated as of March 4, 2009

To the banks, financial institutions

and other institutional lenders

(collectively, the “Lenders”) parties

to the Credit Agreement referred to

below and to Citicorp North America, Inc., as agent

(the “Agent”) for the Lenders

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          We refer to the Credit Agreement dated as of August 24, 2004, as amended and restated as of
March 29, 2005, and as further amended as of August 23, 2005 and as of September 20, 2006 (such
Credit Agreement, as so amended, the “Credit Agreement”) among the undersigned and you.
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Letter Amendment have the same meanings as
specified in the Credit Agreement.

          It is hereby agreed by you and us as follows:

          Effective as of the date of this Letter Amendment, Section 5.03(a) of the Credit Agreement is
hereby amended in full to read as follows:

     (a) Debt/EBITDA Ratio. Maintain a ratio of Consolidated Debt to Consolidated
EBITDA for the period of twelve months most recently ended on or prior to the last day of
each fiscal quarter of not greater than 3.50 : 1.00; provided, however, to
the extent that the Company has cash or cash equivalents on hand in an amount sufficient for
the payment thereof, the outstanding 4.625% senior notes due October 1, 2009 to be repaid by
the Company shall be excluded from the calculation of Consolidated Debt for all reporting
periods prior to October 1, 2009.

          The Company hereby acknowledges that, pursuant to Section 5.01(h)(vi) of the Credit Agreement,
the Lenders have requested that the delivery of the quarterly financial statements for the fiscal
quarter ending September 30, 2009 shall be accompanied by a certification by the chief financial
officer of the Company that the 4.625% senior notes due October 1, 2009 were in fact repaid on or
before October 1, 2009.

          This Letter Amendment shall become effective as of the date first above written when, and only
when, the Agent shall have received counterparts of this Letter Amendment executed by the
undersigned and the Required Lenders. This Letter Amendment is subject to the provisions of
Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.

          The Company represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, the representations and
warranties contained in Section 4.01 (other than the representation set forth in the last sentence
of Section 4.01(e)) of the Credit Agreement are correct and no Default has occurred and is
continuing.

 

 

          On and after the effectiveness of this Letter Amendment, each reference in the Credit
Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the
Credit Agreement, and each reference in the Notes and each of the other Loan Documents to “the
Credit Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit
Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Letter
Amendment.

          The Credit Agreement, the Notes and each of the other Loan Documents, as specifically amended
by this Letter Amendment, are and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in
all respects ratified and confirmed. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Letter
Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power
or remedy of any Lender or the Agent under the Credit Agreement, nor constitute a waiver of any
provision of the Credit Agreement.

          If you agree to the terms and provisions hereof, please evidence such agreement by executing
and returning at least two counterparts of this Letter Amendment to Susan L. Hobart, Shearman &
Sterling LLP, 599 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10022.

          This Letter Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties
hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original
and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an

as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Letter Amendment.
