      Exhibit
A

       

      The
language in Section 1.1 below is hereby added to the Agreement:

       

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                1.1

              	
                Section 409A; Deferred
      Compensation.

              


      

       

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                1.1.1

              	
                Delay in
      Payment.  Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to
      the contrary, if Executive is deemed by ICO at the time of Executive’s
      “separation from service” with ICO to be a “specified employee,” any
      non-exempt deferred compensation which would otherwise be payable
      hereunder shall not be paid until the date which is the first business day
      following the six-month period after Executive’s separation from service
      (or if earlier, Executive’s death).  Such delay in payment shall
      only be effected with respect to each separate payment of non-exempt
      deferred compensation to the extent required to avoid adverse tax
      treatment to Executive under Section 409A.  Any payments or
      benefits not subject to such delay shall be paid pursuant to the time and
      form of payment specified above.  Any compensation which would
      have otherwise been paid during the delay period shall be paid to
      Executive (or his beneficiary or estate) in a lump sum payment on the
      first business day following the expiration of the delay
      period.

              


      

       

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                1.1.2

              	
                Key
      Definitions.  For purposes of the Agreement, the term
      “termination of employment” shall mean “separation from service” and the
      terms “separation from service,” “specified employee” and “nonqualified
      deferred compensation” shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms
      pursuant to Section 409A.

              


      

       

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                1.1.3

              	
                Interpretation.  The
      parties intend that all payments or benefits payable under the Agreement
      will not be subject to the additional tax imposed by Section 409A of the
      Code, and the provisions of the Agreement shall be construed and
      administered consistent with such intent.  To the extent such
      potential payments could become subject to Section 409A of the Code, ICO
      and Executive agree to work together to modify the Agreement to the
      minimum extent necessary to reasonably comply with the requirements of
      Section 409A of the Code, provided that ICO shall not be required to
      provide any additional compensation or
benefits.
