     WHEREAS, pursuant to the APA, the Option Holder will become an employee of RoyNat effective upon the completion of the First Closing (as defined in the APA); and
     WHEREAS, the parties wish to memorialize their mutual interest in terminating the Option Holder’s interest in ICF by (i) having the Option Holder exercise the Option and (ii) having ICF redeem, effective at the First Closing, all of the shares issuable upon the exercise of such Option; and
     WHEREAS, in furtherance of the foregoing, the parties desire to amend the Option Agreement to reflect the terms set forth in this Amendment (it being understood that capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Option Agreement or the related Notice of Stock Option Grant):
     NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
     SECTION 1. Amendment. Section 3 of the Option Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
     “3. Method of Payment. Payment of the Exercise Price may be made as follows:
  (a)   in cash or its equivalent denominated in U.S. dollars; or
 
  (b)   in connection with any exercise occurring in anticipation of a complete redemption by ICF of the Shares subject to the Option, by having the notice of exercise direct that the certificate for the number of Shares issuable upon such exercise (after having given effect to withholding tax obligations) be delivered to the Corporate Governance Manager and Policy Coordinator of

     SECTION 2. Limited Effect. Except as expressly amended and modified by this Amendment, the Option Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Reference to this Amendment need not be made in the Option Agreement or any other instrument or document executed in connection therewith or herewith, any reference in any of such items to the Option Agreement being sufficient to refer to the Option Agreement as amended hereby.
     SECTION 3. Governing Law. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF INDIANA, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS DOCTRINE APPLIED IN SUCH STATE.
