GPS CCMP ACQUISITION CORP.
2006 MANAGEMENT EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
The purpose of the Plan is to attract and retain the best available personnel, to provide additional incentive to persons who provide services to the Company and its Subsidiaries, and to promote the success of the Companys business. Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 17 of the Plan.
The Plan shall be administered by the Board. The Board shall have full authority and sole discretion to take any actions it deems necessary or advisable for the administration and operation of the Plan, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, including, without limitation, the right to construe and interpret the provisions of the Plan or any Award, to provide for any omission in the Plan, to resolve any ambiguity or conflict under the Plan or any Award, to accelerate vesting of or otherwise waive any requirements applicable to any Award, to extend the term or any period of exercisability of any Award, to modify the purchase price or exercise price under any Award, to establish terms or conditions applicable to any Award and to review any decisions or actions made or taken by the compensation or similar committee (if appointed). All decisions, interpretations and other actions of the Board shall be final and binding on all Participants and other persons deriving their rights from a Participant.
The Board is authorized to grant Awards to employees of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. Employees who have been granted Awards shall be Participants in the Plan with respect to such Awards.

No Shares shall be issued under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares comply with (or are exempt from) all applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act, state or foreign securities laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange or other securities market on which the Companys securities may then be traded. The Company shall not be obligated to file any registration statement under any applicable securities laws to permit the purchase or issuance of any Shares under the Plan, and accordingly any certificates for Shares may have an appropriate legend or statement of applicable restrictions endorsed thereon. Each Participant and any person deriving its rights from any Participant shall, as a condition to the purchase or issuance of any Shares under the Plan, deliver to the Company an agreement or certificate containing such representations, warranties and covenants as the Company may deem necessary or appropriate to ensure that the issuance of Shares is not required to be registered under any applicable securities laws.

(1) in the event that such Shares are listed on an established U.S. exchange or through the NASDAQ National Market or any established over-the-counter trading system, the average of the closing prices of such Shares on such exchange if listed or, if not so listed, the average bid and asked price of such Shares reported on the NASDAQ National Market or any established over-the-counter trading system on which prices for such Shares are quoted, in each case, for a period of twenty trading days prior to such date of determination, and
(2) in the event that such Shares are not listed on an established U.S. exchange or through the NASDAQ National Market or any established over-the-counter trading system, the fair market value of such Shares as determined by the Board in good faith. The Boards determination of Fair Market Value shall be based on the following methodology (such methodology, the Valuation Methodology):
A. the Fair Market Value of a share of Class B Common Stock shall be an amount equal to the Unreturned Paid in Capital per share of Class B Common Stock plus a pro rata share (based upon the number of shares of Class B Common Stock then outstanding) of the Total Equity Value of the Company, after reduction for the aggregate Unreturned Paid-in Capital in respect of all shares of Class B Common Stock then outstanding, equal to the sum of (i) 88% plus (ii) a percentage equal to the product of (A) 12% multiplied by (B) one minus a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock that are then vested and not subject to forfeiture, and the denominator of which shall be 9,350.0098; and
B. the Fair Market Value of a share of Class A Common Stock shall be an amount equal to the product of (1) the Total Equity Value of the Company, after reduction for the aggregate Unreturned Paid-in Capital in respect of all shares of Class B Common Stock then outstanding, multiplied by (2) a percentage equal to 12% multiplied by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock that are then vested and not subject to forfeiture, and the denominator of which shall be 9,350.0098.
Notwithstanding the foregoing with respect to this clause (2), if a Participant objects to such Board determination, such determination of fair market value will be made by a mutually acceptable expert whose determination will be binding on all persons. If such determination results in a Fair Market Value that is (i) less than, 95% of the valuation determined by the Board, the Company shall pay the fees of such expert, (ii) greater than 105% of the valuation determined by the Board, the Participant objecting to such determination of the Board shall pay the fees of such expert, and (iii) the Company and the Participant shall share, on a 50/50 basis, all such fees in all other cases.
The Total Equity Value shall be equal to the aggregate value, as determined in good faith by the Board, that would be available with respect to all Shares as a group, including, without limitation, the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock, in the event of a sale of all of the outstanding equity securities of the Company to a Third Party, assuming an assumption by the purchaser of all indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date of determination, taking into account valuation methodologies commonly employed by financial buyers.

q. Paid-in Capital means, with respect to any share of Class B Common Stock, as of any particular date, the amount originally paid for such share when it was issued.
11
ee. Unreturned Paid-in-Capital means in respect to a share of Class B Common Stock, on the date that it was issued, an amount equal to the Paid-in Capital with respect thereto. Thereafter, the Unreturned Paid-in Capital in respect of each share of Class B Common Stock shall (x) decrease (but not below $0) by the amount of any Distributions received in respect of such share of Class B Common Stock and (y) increase by an amount equal to 10% per annum (after giving effect to any decreases pursuant to clause (x)), such increases to be calculated quarterly, compounded on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, which amounts will be deemed to accrue on a daily basis, whether or not the Company has earnings or profits.
