persons having any interest in the Plan or in any awards granted
hereunder. All powers of the Committee shall be executed in its

uniform as to similarly situated individuals.
- 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

determinations of the Committee shall be final and binding on the
Participant, his or her beneficiaries, and any other person having

Section of the Plan need not be uniform as among the
Participants.
-
- Shares
of Stock Subject to the Plan
-
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Participation
-
- 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

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.
- Selection

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.

Requirements . The
Committee may grant Options to any Employee, Consultant or
Non-Management Director upon such terms and conditions as the

Employees, Consultants and Non-Management Directors.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
