WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has approved the adjustment of all equity compensation awards granted under the Plan in connection with the Share Distribution;

WHEREAS, the Company now desires to amend and restate the Prior Agreement to adjust the Option, to be effective as of the Effective Time; and

WHEREAS, this Amended and Restated Agreement Incentive Stock Option Agreement (this “Agreement”) shall amend, restate, supersede and completely replace the Prior Agreement as of the Effective Time.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company has amended and restated the Prior Agreement as follows:

The Company hereby awards to the Optionee the Option to purchase from the Company, for the Exercise Price set forth above, the number of Shares set forth above pursuant to the Plan. This Option is intended by the parties hereto to be, and shall be treated as, an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

The terms and conditions of the Option granted hereby, to the extent not controlled by the terms and conditions contained in the Plan, are as follows:

2.	Vesting of the Option

(a)

The Option shall vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth above.

(b)

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, employment with CSWI or one of its subsidiaries after the Share Distribution will be deemed to be employment with the Company under the Plan, and Termination of Service from CSWI and all of its subsidiaries after the Share Distribution will be deemed to be a Termination of Service from the Company under the Plan, notwithstanding that CSWI ceases to be an affiliate of the Company.

3.	Exercise; Transferability

(a)

Exercise Method. This Option shall be exercised by delivery to the Company of (i) written notice of exercise stating the number of Shares being purchased (in whole shares only) and such other information set forth on the form of Notice of Exercise attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A and (ii) a check or cash in the amount of the Exercise Price of the Shares covered by the notice (or such other consideration as has been approved by the Board of Directors consistent with the Plan). Optionee may also exercise this Option through a cashless exercise in accordance with the Plan and the Company’s rules and procedures governing cashless exercises. Any cashless exercise permitted hereunder will be subject to any applicable limitations or restrictions imposed under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

4.	Modification, Extension and Renewal of Option

The Board or Committee, as described in the Plan, may modify, extend or renew this Option or accept its surrender (to the extent not yet exercised) and authorize the granting of a new option in substitution for it (to the extent not yet exercised), subject at all times to the Plan, the Code, and the applicable laws of the State of Texas. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, no modification shall, without the consent of the Optionee, alter to the Optionee’s detriment or impair any rights of Optionee under this Agreement except to the extent permitted under the Plan.

Notices

Any notice required to be given pursuant to this Agreement or the Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be delivered upon receipt or, in the case of notices by the Company, five (5) days after deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Optionee at the address last provided by Optionee for his or her employee records.

6.	Agreement Subject to Plan; Applicable Law
