                Discretionary
                  Grants.
                  The Committee, in its discretion, may from time to time grant Options
                  to
                  one or more Eligible Persons on such terms and conditions as determined
                  by
                  the Committee on or after the Date of Grant, including but not
                  limited to
                  provisions regarding vesting and exercise. Options may be granted
                  to the
                  same Eligible Person on more than one occasion. Options granted
                  under this
                  Section 4(b) may be granted to an Eligible Person even if the Eligible
                  Person receives an automatic grant of Options under Section
                  4(a).

                  Each Option shall be evidenced by an option agreement (an “Option
                  Agreement”) and shall contain such terms as are not inconsistent with this
                  Plan or any applicable law. Any person who files with the Board,

                  any
                  Option under this Plan shall not be eligible to receive any Option
                  under

                  waiver.

                  per
                  Share on the Date of Grant. The option price per Share of any
                  discretionary grant of Options under Section 4(b) shall be not
                  less than
                  one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on
                  the Date

                Exercise
                  of Options. An
                  Option shall be deemed exercised when (i) the Company has received
                  written notice of such exercise in accordance with the terms of
                  the Option
                  Agreement, (ii) full payment of the aggregate Option Price of the
                  Shares as to which the Option is exercised has been made, and
                  (iii) arrangements that are satisfactory to the Committee in its sole
                  discretion have been made for the Optionee’s payment to the Company of the
                  amount, if any, that the Committee determines to be necessary for
                  the
                  Company to withhold in accordance with applicable federal or state
                  income
                  tax withholding requirements. Pursuant to procedures approved by
                  the
                  Committee, tax withholding requirements, at the option of an Optionee,
                  may
                  be met by withholding Shares otherwise deliverable to the Optionee
                  upon
                  the exercise of an Option. Unless further limited by the Committee
                  in any
                  Option Agreement, the Option Price of any Shares purchased shall
                  be paid
                  solely in cash, by certified or cashier’s check, by money order, with
                  Shares (but with Shares only if permitted by the Option Agreement
                  or
                  otherwise permitted by the Committee in its sole discretion at
                  the time of
                  exercise) or by a combination of the above; provided, however,
                  that the
                  Committee in its sole discretion may accept a personal check in
                  full or
                  partial payment of any Shares. If the exercise price is paid in
                  whole or
                  in part with Shares, the value of the Shares surrendered shall
                  be their
                  Fair Market Value on the date received by the Company. Any permitted
                  payment through the tender of Shares may be made by instruction
                  from the
                  Optionee to the Company to withhold from the Shares issuable upon
                  exercise
                  that number which have a Fair Market Value equal to the exercise
                  price for
                  the Option or portion thereof being exercised.

                Amendment,

                  legal requirements, including any change in the provisions of Rule
                  16b-3
                  and Section 162(m) of the Code that would permit otherwise, the Plan
                  may not be amended without the consent of the holders of a majority
                  of the
                  Shares of stock represented at a meeting of Shareholders for which
                  a
                  quorum is present, to (i) increase materially the aggregate number of
                  Shares of stock that may be issued under the Plan (except for adjustments
                  pursuant to paragraph 8 of the Plan), (ii) increase materially
                  the benefit accruing to Optionees under the Plan, or (iii) modify
                  materially the requirements as to eligibility for participation
                  in the
                  Plan.

                  such
                  holding shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof, but instead
                  this
                  Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provision had never
                  been

                Any
                  reference to the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender shall be

                Section
                  83(b) Election. If
                  as a result of exercising an Option, an Optionee receives Shares
                  that are
                  subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” and are not “transferable”
                  as those terms are defined for purposes of Section 83(a) of the Code,
                  then such Optionee may elect under Section 83(b) of the Code to
                  include in his gross income, for his taxable year in which the
                  Shares are
                  transferred to him, the excess of the Fair Market Value of such
                  Shares at
                  the time of transfer (determined without regard to any restriction
                  other
                  than one which by its terms will never lapse), over the amount
                  paid for
                  the Shares. If the Optionee makes the Section 83(b) election
                  described above, the Optionee shall (i) make such election in a
                  manner
                  that is satisfactory to the Committee, (ii) provide the Company
                  with a
                  copy of such election, (iii) agree to promptly notify the Company
                  if any
                  Internal Revenue Service or state tax agent, on audit or otherwise,
                  questions the validity or correctness of such election or of the
                  amount of
                  income reportable on account of such election, and (iv) agree to
                  such
                  withholding as the Committee may reasonably require in its sole
                  and
                  absolute discretion.

                Effective
                  Date and Termination Date; Adoption of Plan. The
                  effective date of this Plan is the 13th day of April, 1993, the
                  date on
                  which the Board originally adopted this Plan. The Shareholders
                  of the
                  Company approved the Plan on June 15, 1993. The Plan was subsequently
                  amended and restated by the Board on August 29, 1996, which amendment
                  and restatement was approved by the Shareholders on October 7, 1996.
                  In connection with the corporate restructuring effected on April
                  1, 1998,
                  pursuant to a Plan of Merger of ICO Merger Sub, Inc. with and into
                  ICO,
                  Inc., the Company (which prior to such merger was named “ICO Holdings,
                  Inc.”) adopted the Plan and assumed the obligations under the Plan from
                  the entity previously named “ICO, Inc.” (which after such merger was
                  renamed “ICO P&O, Inc.”). The Plan was again amended and restated by
                  the Board on January 8, 1999. The Plan was again amended and restated
                  by the Board on December 18, 2001, which amendment and restatement
                  was
                  approved by the Shareholders on March 15, 2002. The Plan was again
                  amended
                  and restated by the Board on November 18, 2005, which amendment
                  and
                  restatement was approved by the Shareholders on March 14, 2006.
                  No further
                  Options may be granted under this Plan after on January 8, 2009,
                  subject to early termination by the Board pursuant to Paragraph 11 of
                  the Plan. The Plan shall remain in effect until all Options granted
                  under
                  the Plan have been exercised or have
                  expired.

                  obligation of the Company to sell and deliver shares under such
                  Options,
                  shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations,
                  and to
                  such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities
                  exchanges as may be required.
