Option Agreements COOPER-STANDARD HOLDINGS INC. 2011 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

Grant of the Options. The Company hereby grants to the Participant the right and option to purchase, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth and subject to adjustment as set forth in the Plan, Options to purchase any part or all of an aggregate of #Granted Shares. The purchase price of the Shares subject to the Options shall be US $Option Price per Share (the “Option Price”). The Options are intended to be non-qualified stock options, and are not intended to be treated as options that comply with Section 422 of the Code.

Vesting.

Vesting While Employed.

Subject to the Participant’s continued Employment with the Company or its Affiliate through the applicable vesting date, one third of the Options shall vest on each of the first three anniversaries of the Grant Date (each, a “Vesting Date”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change of Control while the Participant remains in Employment with the Company or its Affiliate, the following will apply:

If the purchaser, successor or surviving entity (or parent thereof) in the Change of Control (the “Survivor”) so agrees, some or all of the Options shall be assumed, or replaced with the same type of award with similar terms and conditions, by the Survivor in the Change of Control transaction. If applicable, each Option that is assumed by the Survivor shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Change of Control, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Participant upon the consummation of such Change of Control had the Options been exercised immediately prior to such Change of Control, and other appropriate adjustments in the terms and conditions of the Options shall be made. Upon termination of the Participant’s Employment (1) by the Company and its Affiliates without Cause or (2) if the Participant is then or was at the time of the Change in Control a Section 16 Participant, by such Section 16 Participant for Good Reason, in each case within two years after a Change of Control, any unvested portion of the Option or replacement award shall, to the extent outstanding, immediately become fully vested and exercisable.

To the extent the Survivor does not assume the Options or issue replacement awards as provided in clause (A), then, immediately prior to the date of the Change of Control, all Options shall become immediately and fully vested, and, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, all Options shall be cancelled on the date of the Change of Control in exchange for a cash payment equal to the excess of the Change of Control price of the Shares covered by the Options that

Termination of Employment. Subject to the provisos in Sections 2(a)(ii), if the Participant’s Employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates for any reason, the Options shall, to the extent not then vested, be canceled by the Company without consideration, and the vested portion of the Options shall remain exercisable for the period set forth in Section 3(a); provided that, upon termination of the Participant’s Employment due to the Participant’s death or Disability, the Participant shall be deemed fully vested as of the date of such termination in all Options subject to this Agreement on the date of such termination; and provided further that, upon termination of the Participant’s Employment due to the Participant’s Retirement between the Grant Date and a Vesting Date, or between Vesting Dates, a pro rata portion of the Options (in addition to any Options that have already vested due to continued Employment through one or more Vesting Date) will be deemed vested as of the date of such termination. Such pro rata portion will be equal to the product of the total number of Options that are subject to immediate vesting on the following Vesting Date multiplied by a fraction equal to (i) the number of days elapsed since the most recent Vesting Date (or the Grant Date, if no Vesting Dates have passed) through the date of such termination divided by (ii) 365.

Exercise of Option.

Period of Exercise. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Participant may exercise all or any part of the vested portion of the Option at any time prior to the earliest to occur of:

the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date;

the first anniversary of the date of the Participant’s termination of Employment due to death or Disability, or in connection with a Change of Control pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii)(A);

the third anniversary of the date of the Participant’s termination of Employment due to Retirement; and

90 days following the date of the Participant’s termination of Employment by the Company and its Affiliates for any reason not described in clause (ii) or (iii) above.

Method of Exercise.

Subject to Section 3(a), the vested portion of an Option may be exercised in accordance with the exercise process established by the Company; provided that such portion may be exercised with respect to whole Shares only. At the time of exercise, the Participant must pay the Option Price in full. The payment of the Option Price may be made at the election of the Participant (i) in cash or its equivalent (e.g., by check), (ii) to the extent permitted by the Committee, in Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Shares being purchased and satisfying such other requirements as may be imposed by the Committee; provided that such Shares have been held by the Participant for no less than six months (or such other period, if any, as established from time to time by the Committee in order to avoid adverse accounting treatment applying generally accepted accounting principles), (iii) partly in cash and, to the extent permitted by the Committee, partly in such Shares or (iv) if there is a public market for the Shares at such time and if the Committee has authorized or established any required plan or program, through the delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell Shares obtained upon the exercise of an Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount out of the proceeds of such sale equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Shares being purchased. The Participant shall not have any rights to dividends or other rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares subject to an Option until the Participant has given written notice of exercise of the Option, paid in full for such Shares and, if applicable, has satisfied any other conditions imposed by the Committee pursuant to the Plan.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, the Options may not be exercised prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the Options or the Shares under applicable state and federal securities or other laws, or

Upon the Company’s determination that an Option has been validly exercised as to any of the Shares, the Company shall issue a certificate or certificates in the Participant’s name for such Shares; provided that the Committee may determine instead that such Shares shall be evidenced by book-entry registration. However, the Company shall not be liable to the Participant for damages relating to any delays in issuing any such certificates to the Participant or in making an appropriate book entry, any loss of any such certificates, or any mistakes or errors in the issuance of such certificates, in such certificates themselves or in the making of the book entry; provided that the Company shall correct any such errors caused by it.

In the event of the Participant’s death, the vested portion of the Options shall remain exercisable by the Participant’s executor or administrator, or the Person or Persons to whom the Participant’s rights under this Agreement shall pass by will or by the laws of descent and distribution as the case may be, to the extent set forth in Section 3(a). Any heir or legatee of the Participant shall take rights herein granted subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

No Right to Continued Employment. The granting of the Options evidenced hereby and this Agreement shall impose no obligation on the Company or any of its Affiliates to continue the Employment of the Participant and shall not lessen or affect the Company’s or its Affiliate’s right to terminate the Employment of the Participant.

Legend on Certificates or Book Entry Notation. The certificates or book entry representing the Shares purchased by exercise of the Options, if applicable, shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which such Shares are listed, and any applicable Federal or state laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates or an appropriate notation on any such book entry to make appropriate reference to such restrictions, including reference to the fact that all Shares acquired hereunder shall be subject to the terms of a stockholders agreement, if any.

Transferability. The Options may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate; provided that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance. No such permitted transfer of an Option to heirs or legatees of the Participant shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of such evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and the acceptance by the transferee or transferees of the terms and conditions hereof. During the Participant’s lifetime, the Options are exercisable only by the Participant.

Withholding. The Participant may be required to pay to the Company or any Affiliate, and the Company and its Affiliates shall have the right and are hereby authorized to withhold, any applicable withholding taxes in respect of the Options, their exercise or any payment or transfer under or with respect to the Options and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Committee to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes.

Securities Laws. Upon the acquisition of any Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Options, the Participant will make or enter into such written representations, warranties and agreements as the Committee may reasonably request in order to comply with applicable securities laws or with this Agreement.

Notices. Any notice necessary under this Agreement shall be addressed to the Company in care of its Secretary at the principal executive office of the Company and to the Participant at the address appearing in the personnel records of the Company for the Participant or to either party at such other address as either party may hereafter designate in writing to the other. Any such notice shall be deemed effective upon receipt thereof by the addressee.
