SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED 2005 OMNIBUS EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN

The purpose of the Plan is to provide designated (i) Employees of ICG and its Subsidiaries, (ii) Non-Management Directors of ICG and its Subsidiaries and (iii) Consultants who perform services for ICG and its Subsidiaries, with the opportunity to receive grants of Options, SARs, Stock Units, Performance Shares, Stock Awards, Dividend Equivalents and Other Stock-Based Awards. ICG believes that the Plan will encourage the Participants to contribute materially to the growth of ICG, thereby benefiting ICG's stockholders, and will align the economic interests of the Participants with those of the stockholders.

    1. Administration
      1. Committee . The Plan shall be administered and interpreted by the Committee. Ministerial functions may be performed by employees of the Company.
      2. Committee Authority . The Committee shall have the sole authority to (i) determine the Employees, Consultants and Non-Management Directors to whom Grants shall be made under the Plan, (ii) determine the type, size and terms of the Grants to be made to each Participant, (iii) determine the time when the Grants will be made and the duration of any applicable exercise or restriction period, including the criteria for exercisability and the acceleration of exercisability, (iv) amend the terms of any previously issued Grant, subject to the provisions of Section 20, (v) adopt guidelines separate from the Plan that set forth the specific terms and conditions for Grants under the Plan, and (vi) deal with any other matters arising under the Plan. However, the Board may ratify or approve any Grants as it deems appropriate and has the authority to administer the Plan. To the extent that the Board makes Grants and administers the Plan, references in the Plan to the "Committee" shall be deemed to refer to the Board.
      3. Committee Determinations . The Committee shall have full power and express discretionary authority to administer and interpret the Plan, to make factual determinations and to adopt or amend such rules, regulations, agreements and instruments for implementing the Plan and for the conduct of its business as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion. The Committee's interpretations of the Plan and all determinations made by the Committee pursuant to the powers vested in it hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on all persons having any interest in the Plan or in any awards granted hereunder. All powers of the Committee shall be executed in its sole discretion, in the best interest of ICG, not as a fiduciary, and in keeping with the objectives of the Plan and need not be uniform as to similarly situated individuals.
    2. Grants

Grants under the Plan may consist of Options, SARs, Stock Units, Performance Shares, Stock Awards, Dividend Equivalents and Other Stock-Based Awards. All Grants shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and to such other terms and conditions consistent with the Plan as the Committee deems appropriate and as are specified in writing by the Committee in separate guidelines or to the individual in the Grant Instrument or an amendment to the guidelines or Grant Instrument. The Committee shall approve the form and provisions of each Grant Instrument. All Grants shall be made conditional upon the Participant's acknowledgement, in writing or by acceptance of the Grant, that all decisions and determinations of the Committee shall be final and binding on the Participant, his or her beneficiaries, and any other person having or claiming an interest under such Grant. Grants under a particular Section of the Plan need not be uniform as among the Participants.

    1. Shares of Stock Subject to the Plan
      1. Shares Authorized . The total aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued or transferred under the Plan is 7,600,000 shares, subject to adjustment as described below. The shares may be authorized but unissued shares of Stock or reacquired shares of Stock, including shares purchased by ICG on the open market for purposes of the Plan. Grants paid in cash shall not count against the foregoing share limits.
      2. Share Counting . For administrative purposes, when the Committee makes a Grant payable in Stock, the Committee shall reserve shares of Stock equal to the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be payable under the Grant. If and to the extent Options or SARs granted under the Plan terminate, expire, or are canceled, forfeited, exchanged or surrendered without having been exercised or if any Stock Awards, Stock Units, Performance Shares, Dividend Equivalents or Other Stock-Based Awards are forfeited or terminated, or otherwise not paid in full, the shares subject to such Grants which have not been issued shall again be available for purposes of the Plan. Shares of Stock surrendered in payment of the Option Price of an Option or withheld for purposes of satisfying the Company's minimum tax withholding obligations with respect to Grants under the Plan shall again be available for issuance or transfer under the Plan. To the extent that any Grants are paid in cash, and not in shares of Stock, any shares previously reserved for issuance or transfer pursuant to such Grants shall again be available for issuance or transfer under the Plan.
      3. Individual Limits . All Grants under the Plan, other than Dividend Equivalents, shall be expressed in shares of Stock. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock with respect to which all Grants, other than Dividend Equivalents, may be made under the Plan to any individual during any calendar year shall be 1,000,000 shares, subject to adjustment as described below. A Participant may not accrue Dividend Equivalents during any calendar year in excess of $1,000,000. The individual limits described in this subsection (c) shall apply without regard to whether the Grants are to be paid in Stock or in cash. All cash payments (other than Dividend Equivalents) shall equal the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock to which the cash payment relates.
      4. Adjustments . If there is any change in the number or kind of shares of Stock outstanding (i) by reason of a stock dividend, spinoff, recapitalization, stock split, or combination or exchange of shares, (ii) by reason of a merger, reorganization or consolidation, (iii) by reason of a reclassification or change in par value, or (iv) by reason of any other extraordinary or unusual event affecting the outstanding Stock as a class without ICG's receipt of consideration, or if the value of outstanding shares of Stock is substantially reduced as a result of a spinoff or ICG's payment of an extraordinary dividend or distribution, the maximum number of shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan, the maximum number of shares of Stock for which any individual may receive pursuant to Grants in any year, the number of shares covered by outstanding Grants, the kind of shares to be issued or transferred under the Plan, and the price per share or the applicable market value of such Grants shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any increase or decrease in the number of, or change in the kind or value of, issued shares of Stock to preclude, to the extent practicable, the enlargement or dilution of rights and benefits under such Grants; provided, however, that any fractional shares resulting from such adjustment shall be eliminated. Any adjustments shall be final, binding and conclusive.
    2. Eligibility for Participation
      1. Eligible Persons . All Employees, including persons who have accepted employment with the Company and Employees who are officers or members of the Board, and all Non-Management Directors shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. Consultants are eligible to participate in the Plan if they perform bona fide services for the Company, the services are not in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction, and the Consultants do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for ICG's securities.
      2. Selection of Participants . The Committee shall select the Employees, Consultants and Non-Management Directors to receive Grants and shall determine the terms and conditions of the Grant and the number of shares of Stock subject to each Grant.
    3. Options
      1. General Requirements . The Committee may grant Options to any Employee, Consultant or Non-Management Director upon such terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate under this Section 7.
      2. Number of Shares . The Committee shall determine the number of shares of Stock that will be subject to each Grant of Options to Employees, Consultants and Non-Management Directors.
      3. Type of Option and Price .
          1. The Committee may grant Incentive Stock Options or Nonqualified Stock Options or any combination of Incentive Stock Options and Nonqualified Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees who have actually commenced employment with ICG or its Parent or Subsidiaries. Nonqualified Stock Options may be granted to Employees, Consultants and Non-Management Directors.
          2. The Option Price shall be determined by the Committee and may be equal to, greater than or less than the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock subject to the Grant on the Date of Grant; provided, however, that an Incentive Stock Option may not be granted to an Employee who, at the Date of Grant, owns stock possessing more than 10 percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of ICG or any Parent or Subsidiary, unless the Option Price is not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value on the Date of Grant.
      4. Option Term . The Committee shall determine the term of each Option. The term of an Option shall not exceed ten years from the Date of Grant. However, an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to an Employee who, at the Date of Grant, owns stock possessing more than 10 percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of ICG, or any Parent or Subsidiary, may not have a term that exceeds five years from the Date of Grant.
      5. Exercisability of Options. Options shall become exercisable in accordance with such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee and specified in the Grant Instrument. The Committee may accelerate the exercisability of any or all outstanding Options at any time for any reason.
      6. Termination of Employment or Service . Except as provided in the Grant Instrument, an Option may only be exercised while the Participant is employed by, or providing service to, the Company. The Committee shall specify in the Grant Instrument under what circumstances and during what time periods a Participant may exercise an Option after termination of employment or service.
      7. Exercise of Options . A Participant may exercise an Option that has become exercisable, in whole or in part, by delivering a notice of exercise to ICG or its designated agent. The Participant shall pay the Option Price and any withholding taxes for the Option (i) in cash or by check, (ii) with the approval of the Committee, by delivering shares of Stock owned by the Participant and having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the Option Price or by attestation (on a form prescribed by the Committee) to ownership of shares of Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the Option Price, (iii) in cash, on the T+3 settlement date that occurs after the exercise date specified in the notice of exercise, provided that the Participant exercises the Option through an irrevocable agreement with a registered broker and the payment is made in accordance with procedures permitted by Regulation T of the Federal Reserve Board and such procedures do not violate applicable law, or (iv) by such other method as the Committee may approve, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Shares of Stock used to exercise an Option shall have been held by the Participant for the requisite period of time to avoid adverse accounting consequences to ICG with respect to the Option. Pa
