    Second
      Amendment

     

    Pursuant
      to the powers and procedures for amendment of the Rogers Corporation 2005 Equity
      Compensation Plan (the “2005 Plan”), described in Section 15 of the 2005 Plan,
      the Board of Directors of Rogers Corporation (the “Company”) hereby amends the
      2005 Plan as follows:

     

    1. Effective
      as of the date hereof, the definition of “Fair Market Value” in Section 1 is
      amended by deleting the phrase “on the business day immediately preceding that
      particular given date” and substituting therefore the following:

     

    “on
      that
      particular given date”

     

    2. Effective
      as of the date hereof, the definition of “Retainer Payment Date” in Section 1 is

      the following:

     

    “
      ‘Retainer Payment Date’ means June 15 and December 15 of each calendar year;
      provided, however, that with respect to any individual who ceases to be a
      Non-Employee Director, ‘Retainer Payment Date’ shall also mean the last day that
      such Non-Employee Director serves as a Non-Employee Director, on which date
      is
      payable to such individual the proportionate share of the retainer fee due
      to
      such individual for his or her services as a Non-Employee Director since the
      last Retainer Payment Date; provided further, however, that in the event any
      of
      the foregoing dates is not a business day, then ‘Retainer Payment Date’ shall in
      such case mean the business day immediately following that particular given
      date.”

     

    3. Except
      as
      so amended, the 2005 Plan in all other respects is hereby
      confirmed.

     

    IN
      WITNESS
      WHEREOF, the Board of Directors has caused this Second Amendment to the 2005
      Plan to be duly executed on this 27th
      day of
      October, 2006.

    Under
      the
      2005 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2005 Plan”), the annual retainer for
      non-employee directors is paid semi-annually in shares of Rogers Corporation
      (“Rogers”) capital stock, with the number of shares of stock granted based on
      their then fair market value (pro-rated to reflect directors joining the Board
      after the beginning of the year, as in the case of Carol R. Jensen, who joined
      the Board in February 2006). Beginning on January 1, 2007, non-employee
      directors can choose to receive their annual retainer in shares of Rogers
      capital stock instead of in cash. Stock options are also granted to each
      non-employee director twice a year. Currently, such semi-annual stock option
      grants are for 2,250 shares (also pro-rated, as in the case of Dr. Jensen)
      each
      with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of Rogers
      capital stock as of the date of grant. Such options are immediately exercisable
      and expire ten years from the date of grant.

     

    On
      a
      yearly basis, non-employee directors can choose whether to receive their meeting
      fees in cash, stock or a combination thereof. In addition, under Rogers
      Voluntary Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors, such
      individuals may elect to defer all or a portion of their annual retainer and
      meeting fees, regardless of whether such amounts would have been paid in cash
      or
      in Rogers capital stock.

     

    For
      2006,
      certain of Rogers’ non-employee directors made the following
      elections:

     

    Eileen
      S.
      Kraus: Receive meeting fees in Rogers stock on a current basis. 

     

    Gregory
      B.
      Howey: Defer receipt of Rogers stock for the annual retainer. Receive meeting
      fees in Rogers stock, but defer receipt.

     

    William
      E.
      Mitchell: Defer receipt of Rogers stock for the annual retainer. 

     

    Rogers’
      other non-employee directors, Leonard M. Baker, Charles M. Brennan, III, Walter
      E. Boomer, Edward L. Diefenthal, Leonard R. Jaskol, Carol R. Jensen, and Robert
      G. Paul by not making any special election, will receive Rogers stock for the
      2006 annual retainer on a current basis (as will Ms. Kraus) and will receive
      their meeting fees in cash on a current basis (as will Mr. Mitchell).

available to the Grantee, will be delivered or made available electronically,
provided that upon request of the Grantee, the Company will deliver to the
Grantee paper copies of such materials.
