	 Article
		II. Benefits
		Under This Plan

	  

	 
			2.1.	
				Amount
				  of Supplemental Retirement Benefit.

				

 

	 

	 
			 	
				(1)

					
				Amount
				  of Supplemental Retirement Benefit for Grandfathered
				  Participants. If a
				  Participant is considered to be a “Grandfathered Participant” under
				  Section 1.02 in the Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc. Salaried Retirement Plan,
				  then the amount of Supplemental Retirement Benefit that a Participant or
				  beneficiary is to receive under This Plan is the amount of benefit which such
				  Participant or beneficiary would be entitled to receive under the
				  Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc. Salaried Retirement Plan as a Grandfathered
				  Participant, as if such benefit were computed without giving effect to the
				  limitations imposed by Section 415 and Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal
				  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and Section 2004(d) of ERISA, less the amount
				  of actual benefit to be paid from the Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc. Salaried
				  Retirement Plan as a Grandfathered Participant.
 

 

	 

	 
			 	
				(2)

					
				Amount
				  of Supplemental Retirement Benefit for Non-Grandfathered
				  Participants. The
				  amount of Supplemental Retirement Benefit payable under This Plan to a
				  Non-Grandfathered Participant or beneficiary (who therefore accrues on a cash
				  balance basis under This Plan) shall be equal to the excess of (a) over (b)
				  below:
 

 

	 

	 
			 	
				(a)

					
				The
				  amount of benefit which such Non-Grandfathered Participant or beneficiary would
				  accrue on a cash balance basis under the Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc.
				  Salaried Retirement Plan as if such benefit were computed without giving effect
				  to the limitations imposed by Section 415 or Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal
				  Revenue Code of 1986 and Section 2004(d) of ERISA, in each case as same may be
				  amended, and for years beginning on or after January 1, 2006, based on twice
				  the Participant’s Compensation, as such term is defined in Section 1.02 of
				  the Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc. Salaried Retirement Plan, but without
				  giving effect to the aforementioned limitations imposed by Section 415 or
				  Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and ERISA
				  Section 2004(d), less
 

 

	 

	 
			 	
				(b)

					
				The
				  amount of benefit which such Non-Grandfathered Participant or beneficiary
				  actually accrues on a cash balance basis under the Cooper-Standard Automotive
				  Inc. Salaried Retirement Plan. 
 

 

	 

	 
			 	
				(3)

					
				Amount
				  of Supplemental Retirement Benefit for Participants With Employment Contracts
				  at December 31, 2001. For
				  those Participants with employment contracts as of December 31, 2001, the
				  amount of the Supplemental Retirement Benefit determined under This Plan is
				  computed without giving effect to amendments to the Cooper Tire & Rubber
				  Company Salaried Employees’ Retirement Plan effective on January 1, 2002
				  that changed the rate of future benefit accruals. Moreover, service and
				  compensation from such Participants’ immediately previous employer shall
				  be considered for benefit computation purposes and the final average pay
				  formula of 
 

 

	 

	 
		
		  3
		

		
		   
		

		
		

		

	 

	 

	 
			 	 	
				the
				  Cooper Tire & Rubber Company Salaried Employees’ Retirement Plan shall
				  be utilized in determining the Supplemental Retirement Benefit under This
				  Plan.
 

 

	 

	 
			 	
				(4)

					
				No
				  Duplication of Benefits.
				  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, no retirement benefits shall be paid
				  under This Plan to or with respect to any Participant who receives a payment,
				  under an agreement with the Company (or any successor to the Company) or under
				  any plan, program or arrangement of the Company (or any successor of the
				  Company), the amount of which is calculated to be the actuarial equivalent of
				  the retirement benefit that the Participant has accrued (prior to such payment)
				  under This Plan.
 

 

	 

	 
			2.2.	
				Amount
				  of Supplemental Savings Plan Benefit - The
				  benefits that a Participant or beneficiary is entitled to receive under This
				  Plan as a supplement to benefits under the Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc.
				  Investment Savings Plan shall be equal to the excess of (a.) over (b.) below
				  for each calendar year in which This Plan is in effect, aggregated for all such
				  years, plus the investment return as specified in Section 2.3
				  below:
 

 

	  

	  

	 
			 	a.	
				Six
				  percent (6%) of the Participant’s Compensation, as that term is defined in
				  Article I, Section 12 of the Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc. Investment Savings
				  Plan, but without regard to the limitations imposed by Section 415 or Section
				  401(a)(l7) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and Section 2004(d) of ERISA,
				  less
 

 

	  

	  

	 
			 	b.	
				The
				  amount of Company Contributions actually credited to the Participant’s
				  account in such year under Article IV of the Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc.
				  Investment Savings Plan,
 

 

	 

	 If (b)
		above shall be zero because of the limitations imposed by Section 415, Section
		401(k) and Section 401(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and Section
		2004(d) of ERISA, a Participant shall not be required to be a participant in
		the Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc. Investment Savings Plan to be entitled to
		receive a Supplemental Savings Plan Benefit in the amount determined under (a.)
		above as if Participant had been a participant in the Cooper-Standard
		Automotive Inc. Investment Savings Plan.

	  

	 
			2.3	
				Investment
				  Return on Supplemental Savings Plan Benefits - The
				  investment return to be included in the calculation of benefits under Section
				  2.2 shall begin to accrue with respect to Supplemental Savings Plan Benefits
				  determined for any year on the first business day in January in the following
				  year and shall be deemed to be invested in the prevailing stable value fund or
				  under any other method designated by the Employer.
 

 

	  

	 Current
		and future allocations between the investment alternatives shall be directed by
		each Participant in written instructions delivered to Company with such advance
		notice, at such times and in such manner as prescribed by the Administration
		Committee. If a Participant fails to provide any such written directions to the
		Company, all of the amounts credited to his or her Supplemental Savings Plan
		Benefit account shall be deemed to be invested in the prevailing stable value
		fund.

	  

	  

	 
			2.4.	
				Limitation
				  on Benefits - In
				  applying Section 415, Section 401(a)(17), Section 401(k) and Section 401(m) of
				  the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and Section 2004(d) of ERISA, all
				  contributions to a defined contribution plan are taken into
				  account.

			2.5.	
				Payment
				  of Supplemental Benefits -
				  Payment of supplemental benefits hereunder shall be accomplished by means of
				  unfunded payments directly from the Company or from any grantor trust
				  established by the Company to fund such payments.
 

 

	  

	 Payment
		of Supplemental Retirement Benefits shall be made under the same form of
		payment and subject to the same conditions as is the normal form of benefit
		provided under the Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc. Salaried Retirement Plan
		with respect to such Participant or beneficiary; provided, however, should the
		Participant’s death occur before the Participant has made an election to
		retire and as to the form of payment, the Participant shall have been deemed to
		have retired on the date immediately prior to the Participant’s death and
		to have made a request to receive the capital value of any commutable annuity
		benefit in a single sum. The Administration Committee, as hereinafter defined,
		may direct the payment of the capital value of any commutable annuity hereunder
		in a single sum or in annual installments in accordance with rules established
		by the Administration Committee. Such capital value shall be the actuarial
		equivalent of the annuity payable hereunder, determined by applying the
		assumptions used for such purpose under the Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc.
		Salaried Retirement Plan as in effect at the time of the Participants
		termination of employment from the Company.

	  

	 Payment
		of Supplemental Savings Plan Benefits shall be made in cash in a single sum
		payment within two (2) years of the Participant’s termination of
		employment from the Company or in such other manner as may be requested by a
		Participant and approved by the Administration Committee prior to the
		Participants termination of employment. The notional balance of any
		Supplemental Savings Plan Benefit account (or portions thereof as specified by
		a Participant) shall be carried and deemed to be invested as provided in
		Section 2.3 above.

	  

	 Article
		III. Administration of This Plan

	  

	  

	 
			3.1.	
				Committee - The
				  operation of This Plan, with respect to Participants herein and their
				  beneficiaries, shall be administered by an Administration Committee (“the

				  Automotive Inc. Salaried Retirement Plan.
 

 

	  

	  

	 
			3.2.	
				Powers
				  and Discretion of Administration Committee -
				  The
				  Administration Committee shall have the same type and extent of authority to
				  administer This Plan and to make, amend and interpret all appropriate rules and

				  and the Defined Contribution Plan Committee has with respect to the
				  Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc. Investment Savings Plan, The Administrative
				  Committee shall have discretionary authority to interpret the terms of This
				  Plan, and to determine the eligibility of any Participant and the amount of
				  benefits payable to any Participant under This Plan. Any determination of the

		IV. General Conditions

	  

	  

	 
			4.1.	
				Amendment
				  and Termination - The
				  Company reserves to its Board of Directors the continuing right to amend or
				  terminate This Plan, in whole or in part. The Board of Directors may designate
				  authorized Officers of the Company to implement any amendments made to This
				  Plan. However, no such amendment or termination shall adversely affect (a) the
				  benefit under This Plan of any Participant or his or her beneficiary then being
				  received or entitled to be received or (b) the right of any other Participant
				  to receive upon retirement, or his or her beneficiary to receive upon such
				  Participant’s death, that amount of benefit as would have been received
				  under This Plan if the employment of the Participant had been terminated
				  immediately prior to the adoption of the amendment or termination of This
				  Plan.
 

 

	  

	  

	 
			4.2.	
				Designation
				  of Beneficiary - Each
				  Participant shall have the right at any time to designate, or to rescind or

				  designation, or rescission or change of designation, shall be made in writing
				  and shall be filed with the Administration Committee. The designation shall be
				  effective as of the date filed with the Administration Committee and shall be
				  controlling over any disposition by will or otherwise. In the event that a
				  Participant fails to so designate any beneficiary, or in the event there shall
				  be no beneficiary so designated by such Participant living at the time of such
				  Participant’s death, then and in either of said events, any such benefits
				  shall be paid out in one lump sum to the person or persons designated as the
				  Participant’s beneficiary under the Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc.
				  Investment Savings Plan, or, if none, comprising the first surviving class of
				  the following classes:

				  executor or administrator of the Participant’s estate.
 

 

	 

	 
			4.3.	
				Effect
				  on Qualified Plans - The
				  adoption, administration, amendment or termination of This Plan shall have no
				  effect upon the Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc. Salaried Retirement Plan, the
				  Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc. Investment Savings Plan, or any other of the
				  Company’s qualified plans.
 

 

	  

	 
			4.4.	
				Non-Assignability
				  of Right to Receive Benefits - The
				  right to receive benefits under This Plan may not be anticipated, alienated,
				  sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, encumbered or subjected to any charge or
				  legal process; and if any attempt is made to do so, or a person eligible for
				  any benefit becomes bankrupt, the interest under This Plan of the person
				  affected may be terminated by the Administration Committee, and the
				  Administration Committee may cause the same to be held or applied for the
				  benefit of such person or one or more of his or her dependents in such manner
				  as it deems proper. In particular, the right to receive benefits under This
				  Plan may not be assigned to a spouse or ex-spouse of the Participant or other
				  person under the terms of a court order that purports to be a Qualified
				  Domestic Relations Order under Section 414(p) of the Internal Revenue Code of
				  1986.

				  Plan Not an Employment Contract - This
				  Plan does not give to any Participant the right to be continued in employment
				  or otherwise enlarge or affect employment status or rights. All Participants
				  remain subject to: change of salary, transfer, change of job, discipline,

				  Plan had not been adopted.
 

 

	  

	 
			4.6.	
				Applicable
				  Law - All
				  questions pertaining to the construction, validity and effect of the provisions
				  hereof are to be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of
				  Michigan.
 

 

	  

	 
			4.7.	
				Non-Funded
				  Plan - The
				  entire cost of This Plan will be paid from the general assets of the Company.
				  It is the intent of the Company to pay benefits under This Plan as they become
				  due. No liability for the payment of benefits under This Plan shall be imposed
				  upon any officer, director, employee or stockholder of the
				  Company.
 

 

	  

	 
			4.8.	
				Plan
				  Not a Qualified Plan - This
				  Plan is not intended to be a qualified pension plan or to be a benefit or
				  welfare plan subject to ERISA. This Plan is intended to be a so-called
				  “top-hat” plan that is not qualified within the meaning of Section
				  401(a) and that is unfunded, and maintained by the Company primarily for the
				  purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or
				  highly compensated employees of the Company within the meaning of Sections
				  201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401 (a)( I) of ERISA, as amended. This Plan shall be
				  administered and interpreted to the extent possible in a manner consistent with
				  that intent.
 

 

	  

	 
			4.9.	
				Effect
				  on Contractual Rights - This
				  Plan shall not reduce or otherwise adversely affect any contractual right with
				  respect to retirement of any person who is a Participant or his or her

				  to retirement of any person who is a Participant or his or her beneficiary,
				  except to the extent of payments made under This Plan.
 

 

	  

	 
			4.10.	
				Severability - If
				  any provisions of This Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason,
				  said illegality or invalidity shall not effect the remaining parts of This
				  Plan, but This Plan shall be construed and enforced as if said illegal or
				  invalid provision had never been included herein.
 

 

	  

	 
			4.11.	
				Effective
				  Date - This
				  Plan shall become effective upon the approval and adoption of This Plan by the
				  Board of Directors and upon its effective date.

		ARTICLE 3.
 ELIGIBILITY
	 

	 
		Section 3.1.  Selection of
		Participants.  The Administrator shall select the key employees
		of the Company or an Affiliate for participation in the Plan.  No employee
		shall have any right to receive a Performance Award in any year even if a
		Performance Award has been previously granted in prior years.  In general,
		it is expected that the Administrator will determine which key employees are to
		receive a Performance Award prior to, or within the first ninety (90) days of,
		the first day of the applicable Performance Period.
	 

	 
		Section 3.2.  Termination of Approval.  Until the
		earlier of the end of a Performance Period or a Participant’s termination
		of employment, the Administrator may withdraw its approval for participation
		for a Participant at any time.  In the event of such withdrawal, the
		employee concerned shall cease to be an active Participant as of the date
		selected by the Administrator, the employee’s Performance Awards shall be
		cancelled, and the employee shall not be entitled to
	 

	 
		
 

	 

	 
		3
	 

	 
		

	 

	 
		

	 

	 
	 
		

	 

	 
		

	 

	 
		any payment unless the Administrator determines otherwise.  The
		Administrator shall notify the employee of such withdrawal as soon as
		practicable following such action.
	 

	 
		Section 3.3.  New Hires; Transfers In, Out and Between Eligible
		Positions.
	 

	 
		(a)
	 

	 
		Notwithstanding Section 3.1, for a key
		employee who is hired or promoted into a position that is eligible for a
		Performance Award, the Administrator may (1) select such key employee as a
		Participant at any time during the course of a Performance Period, (2) take
		action as a result of which there is an additional Performance Award made to a
		key employee who, as to a Performance Period that is in progress, is already a
		Participant and as to whom a Performance Award is already in effect where the
		additional Performance Award relates to the same Performance Period, or (3)
		change the Performance Goals, Performance Measures, Performance Scale or
		potential award amount under a Performance Award that is already in effect.
		 In such event, the Administrator may, but is not required to, prorate the
		amount that would otherwise be payable under such Performance Award if the
		Participant had been employed during the entire Performance Period to reflect
		the period of actual employment during the Performance Period.  
	 

	 
		(b)
	 

	 
		If a Participant is demoted during a
		Performance Period, the Administrator may decrease the potential award amount
		of any Performance Award, or revise the Performance Goals, Performance Measures
		or Performance Scale, as determined by the Administrator to reflect the
		demotion, or may withdraw its approval for participation in accordance with
		Section 3.2.
	 

	 
		(c)
	 

	 
		If a Participant is transferred from
		employment by the Company to the employment of an Affiliate, or vice versa, the
		Administrator may revise the Participant’s Performance Award to reflect
		the transfer, including but not limited to, changing the potential award
		amount, Performance Measures, Performance Goals and Performance Scale.
	 

	 
		Section 3.4.  Termination of Employment.
	 

	 
		(a)
	 

	 
		Except as otherwise provided under the terms
		of an employment or severance agreement between a Participant and the Company,
		or under the Company’s Change of Control Severance Pay Plan, no
		Participant shall earn an incentive award for a Performance Period unless the
		Participant is employed by the Company or an Affiliate (or is on an approved
		leave of absence) on the last day of such Performance Period, unless employment
		was terminated during the period as a result of Retirement, Disability or death
		at a time when the Participant could not have been terminated for Cause, or
		unless payment is approved by the Administrator after considering the cause of
		termination.  
	 

	 
		(b)
	 

	 
		If a Participant’s employment is
		terminated as a result of death, Disability or Retirement, at a time when the
		Participant could not have been terminated for Cause, then unless otherwise
		determined by the Administrator, the Participant (or the Participant’s
		estate in the event of his death) shall be entitled to receive an amount equal
		to the product of (x) the amount calculated under Section 5.1, but treating the
		year in which such termination occurs as the end of the Performance Period and
		(y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of the 
		Participant’s days of employment during the Performance Period for such
		award and the
	 

	 
		
 

	 

	 
		4
	 

	 
		

	 

	 
		

	 

	 
	 
		

	 

	 
		

	 

	 
		denominator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period for
		such award.   Payment shall be made within 21⁄2 months following
		the end of the year in which such the Participant’s termination of
		employment occurs.
	 

	 
		ARTICLE 4.
 CONTINGENT PERFORMANCE AWARDS
	 

	 
		At the time of grant of a Performance Award,
		the Administrator shall determine for each award the Performance Measure(s),
		the Performance Goal(s) for each Performance Measure, the Performance Scale
		(which may vary for different Performance Measures), and the amount payable to
		the Participant if and to the extent the Performance Goals are met (as measured
		from the Performance Scale).  The amount payable to a Participant may be
		designated as a flat dollar amount or as a percentage of the Participant’s
		Base Salary, or may be determined by any other means as the Administrator may
		specify at the time the Performance Award is granted. 
	 

	 
		ARTICLE 5.
 PAYMENT
	 

	 
		
	 

	 
		Section 5.1.  Evaluating Performance
		and Computing Awards.
	 

	 
		(a)
	 

	 
		As soon as practicable following the close
		of a Performance Period, the Administrator shall determine whether and to what
		extent the Performance Goals and other material terms of the Performance Award
		issued for such period were satisfied, and shall determine whether any
		discretionary adjustments under Subsection (b) shall be made.  Based on
		such certification, the Administrator (or its delegee) shall determine the
		award amount payable to a Participant under the Performance Award for that
		Performance Period.  
	 

	 
		(b)
	 

	 
		The Administrator may adjust each
		Participant’s potential award amount under any Performance Award, based
		upon overall individual performance and attainment of goals up to a maximum of
		plus one hundred and fifty percent (+150%) or down to a maximum of minus eighty
		percent (-80%).  
	 

	 
		
	 

	 
		Section 5.2.  Timing and Form of Payment.  When the
		payment due to the Participant has been determined, unless otherwise deferred
		pursuant to a Participant’s election under the Company’s Deferred
		Compensation Plan, payment shall be made in a cash lump sum within 21⁄2
		months following the close of the Performance Period.
	 

	 
		Section 5.3.  Inimical Conduct.  Notwithstanding the
		foregoing, after the end of the Performance Period for which the payment has
		accrued, but before payment or deferral is made, if the Participant engages in
		Inimical Conduct, or if the Company determines after a Participant’s
		termination of employment that the Participant could have been terminated for
		Cause, the Performance Award shall be automatically cancelled and no payment or
		deferral shall be made.  The Administrator may suspend payment or deferral
		(without liability for interest thereon) pending the Administrator’s
		determination of whether the Participant was or should have been terminated for
		Cause or whether the Participant has engaged in Inimical Conduct.

 ADJUSTMENTS
	 

	 
		In the event of any change in the
		outstanding shares of Company Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend or
		split, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or exchange of
		shares or other similar corporate change, then if the Administrator shall
		determine that such change necessarily or equitably requires an adjustment in
		the Performance Goals established under a Performance Award, such adjustments
		shall be made by the Administrator and shall be conclusive and binding for all
		purposes of this Plan.  No adjustment shall be made in connection with the
		issuance by the Company of any warrants, rights, or options to acquire
		additional shares of Common Stock or of securities convertible into Common
		Stock.
