System.LimitException: Apex CPU time limit exceeded

Ordinary synchronous Apex code (triggers, controllers) can use up to 10 seconds of CPU time.  Exceeding this time limit will throw the exception you're getting.  Basically, your code is taking too long.  If you can't find any way to optimize the code, you should consider making it run in a future method (a method annotated as @future).  This is because asynchronous Apex code (@future, Schedulable, Batchable) can use up to 60 seconds of CPU time.

If this helps, please mark it as a solution, and give kudos (click on the star) if you think I deserve them. Thanks!
