Key Manager Income Continuity Plan



 EXHIBIT 10.2(g) 
 CYTEC INDUSTRIES INC. 
 Key Manager Income
Continuity Plan 
 (as amended and restated September 30, 2009) 
 1. Purpose. The purpose of this Key Manager Income Continuity Plan (the “Plan”) is to retain the services of executives in
the senior management group of Cytec Industries Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries and to reinforce and encourage the continuing attention, dedication and loyalty of these executives without the distraction of concern over the
possibility of involuntary or constructive termination of employment resulting from unforeseen developments, by providing income continuity for a limited period. 
 The Plan, as amended and restated, is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the regulations thereunder and related guidance
issued by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”).

the Company believes that the Participant has not substantially performed such Participant’s duties, or (ii) the willful engaging by the Participant in conduct demonstrably injurious to the Company. For purposes of this definition, no act,
or failure to act, on the part of a Participant shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Participant without reasonable belief that such Participant’s action or omission was in the best interests of the

such change, or any change in the Participant’s status, authority or position which represents a demotion (actual or de facto) from the Participant’s status, authority or position immediately prior to such change, except in
connection with the termination of the Participant’s employment because of death or retirement, by the Company for Disability or Cause, or by the Participant other than for a Good Reason enumerated in any of the following subparagraphs of this

 4 








 4. Termination of Employment. Each Participant shall be entitled to receive the
income continuation payments provided for in Section 5 of the Plan upon termination of such Participant’s employment, unless such termination is (a) because of the Participant’s death, Disability or retirement, (b) by the
Company for Cause, (c) by such Participant for any reason (other than a reason specified in Sections 2(h)(iii) or 2(h)(v) of the Plan which occurs within 120 days prior to the termination) if such, termination occurs prior to a Prospective
Change in Control, or (d) by such Participant other than for Good Reason if such termination occurs after a Change in Control; provided that a Participant shall not be entitled to any income continuation payments if the termination of
employment occurs in connection with the sale or other disposition by the Company of the business unit within which the Participant is employed and such Participant becomes, in connection with such sale or other disposition, or within six months
thereof, either (i) an employee of the acquiror or (ii) a consultant to the acquiror earning consulting fees substantially similar to (or higher than) the Participant’s base salary and incentive compensation from the Company; and
provided, further, that, if Notice of Termination is given prior to a Change in Control, such Participant shall have signed and delivered, in form and substance satisfactory to the General Counsel, non-disparagement agreement, a one-year non-compete
agreement and a waiver, effectively waiving all claims against the Company (including its officers, directors, employees and agents) arising out of such Participant’s employment or termination, other than claims for payment post-termination of
employment under the terms of this Plan and employee benefit and compensation plans of the Company, such waiver, non-disparagement agreement and a non-compete agreement, to be delivered no later than the later of thirty days following (i) the
date of Notice of Termination, or (ii) written request therefor by the Company. 
 5. Income Continuation.

 (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 6 of the Plan, upon termination of employment of a Participant, pursuant to
Section 4 of the Plan, the Company shall pay to the Participant the sum of (x) and (y) where (x) equals the greater of the Participant’s annual base salary at the rate in effect at the time Notice of Termination is given and
the guideline amount of severance pay payable to the Participant on the Date of Termination under the Company’s severance pay policy as in effect at that time and (y) equals the Participant’s Annual Bonus (excluding performance
stock/cash awards) under the I.C. Plan based on the Participant’s annual base salary, in equal semi-monthly installments over a period of 12 months following the Date of Termination, on approximately the fifteenth and last days of each month,
subject to Subsection (b) of this Section 5; provided that in the case of Notice of Termination given after a Change in Control, such 12 month period shall be extended to 24 months and such amount shall be payable in a lump sum
following the Date of Termination, subject to Subsection (b) of this Section 5. As used in this Section 5 of the Plan, “Annual Bonus” means the greater of (i) the annual target bonus under the I.C. Plan attributable to
the Participant or (ii) said annual target bonus times a fraction equivalent to the average percentage of said annual target bonus paid to said Participant for each of the two preceding fiscal years of the Company (or for such lesser period of
time as such Participant participated in the I.C. Plan). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if termination

  

 5 








 
occurred for Good Reason as specified in Section 2(h)(iii) or 2(h)(vi) of this Plan, the termination payments provided in this Section 5(a) shall be calculated using the annual base
salary and Annual Bonus as in effect immediately before the reduction of such annual base salary or Annual Bonus. 
 (b) All
payments under subsection (a) of this Section 5 of the Plan shall commence, or be paid, on the first business day of the seventh month after the Date of Termination. Payments that would have been made during the six-month period following
the Participant’s Date of Termination shall be paid to the Participant on the first business day of the seventh month after the Date of Termination, without interest. 
 Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, (i) no payment shall be made with respect to any period
beyond the date of a Participant’s 65th birthday (including the portion of the lump sum payment described in Subsection (a) that relates to installment payments that would have been made after the Participant attained age 65 if the
Participant would have received installment payments rather than the lump sum payment), and (ii) there shall be deducted from any payments required hereunder (x) any payments made with respect to any required notice period under any
employment agreement between a Participant and the Company or one of its subsidiaries, (y) any payments received by the Participant under the Company’s Long Term Disability Plan or under any short term disability plan or program of the
Company during the period with respect to which income continuation is computed hereunder and (z) any severance payments or termination payments received by the Participant from the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries required
under the local laws of any country other than the United States. Payments that otherwise cannot be made to the Participant prior to the Participant’s 65th birthday as a result of the six-month delay described in Subsection (b) of this section shall be paid to the
Participant on the first business day of the seventh month after the Participant’s Date of Termination, without interest. 
 6. Competitive Employment. The Company, at its option, may discontinue any payments being made to any Participant pursuant to Section 5 of the Plan if such Participant engages in the operation or management of any business
anywhere in the world, whether as owner, stockholder, partner, officer, consultant, employee or otherwise, which at such time is in competition with any business of the Company in any field with which such Participant was involved during the last
two years of the Participant’s employment by the Company. Ownership by such Participant of five percent or less of the shares of stock of any company listed on a national securities exchange or having at least 100 stockholders shall not make
such Participant a “stockholder” within the meaning of that term as used in this Section 6 of the Plan. 
 7.
Maintenance of Other Benefit Plans. The Company shall maintain in full force and effect, for the continued benefit of each Participant entitled to receive, or who received, payments pursuant to Section 5 of the Plan, for one year
following the Participant’s Date of Termination, comprehensive medical and dental insurance, group life insurance, financial planning and tax preparation and counseling services, and excess personal liability insurance (but not including
disability coverage), on the same basis as such Participant participated immediately prior to the Date of Termination; provided that if such Participant’s continued participation is not permitted under the general terms and provisions of such
plans and programs or applicable law, the Company shall provide equivalent benefits. 
  

 6 








 8. Outplacement. Subject to Section 6 of the Plan, upon termination of a
Participant pursuant to Section 4 of the Plan, the Company shall, in addition to the payments provided for in Section 5 of the Plan, provide, for one year following the Participant’s Date of Termination or, if the Participant becomes
employed by a new employer less than one year after the Participant Date of Termination, until the Participant becomes so employed, the services of a reputable outplacement organization, including telephone and office expenses incurred in seeking
new employment. 
 9. No Mitigation. No Participant shall be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for
under this Plan by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment so provided for be reduced by any compensation earned by any Participant as the result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits or by
offset against any amount claimed to be owed by the Participant to the Company. 
 10. Successors. The Company will
require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and assets of the Company, by a written agreement, to expressly assume and agree to carry out the
provisions of this Plan in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to carry them out if no such succession had occurred. 
 11. Notice. Any notice expressly provided for under this Plan shall be in writing, shall be given either manually or by mail, telegram, telex, telefax or cable, and shall be deemed sufficiently
given, if and when received by the Company at its offices at 5 Garret Mountain Plaza, West Paterson, New Jersey 07424 Attention: Secretary, or by any Participant at the address on the records of the Company for such Participant, or if and
when mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed to the Company or the Participant to be notified at such address. Either the Company or any Participant may, by notice to the other, change its address for
receiving notices. 
 12. Funding. All payments provided for under this Plan for Participants (including those who have
retired) shall not be funded or secured, and no trust shall be created hereunder. Payments under the Plan shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable upon the termination of a Participant’s employment within two years after a Change in
Control, except for a termination where the Participant would not be entitled to income continuation payments as provided in Section 4 of the Plan. 
 13. Amendment and Termination. 
 (a) The Executive Leadership Team may at
any time or from time to time amend or terminate this Plan, including but not limited to the reduction or termination after the termination of a Participant’s employment of any non-vested benefit hereunder; provided, however, that no such
amendment or termination may adversely affect any vested benefits hereunder; and, provided further, that after a Change in Control, this Plan may not be amended without the consent of all persons who were Participants as of the date of such Change
in Control (including those who have retired). 
  

 7 








 (b) In addition, no amendment or termination made within one year before a Change in Control
and made while a Prospective Change in Control is pending may adversely affect any benefit that might at any time be or become owing hereunder to a person who, immediately prior to the commencement of such Prospective Change in Control, was a
Participant, without the consent of such person (other than a benefit to any such person who is the person, or part of the group, making the offer, or negotiating to make the offer, which constitutes the Prospective Change in Control). As used
herein, the term “Prospective Change in Control” means (i) any offer presented, directly or indirectly, to the Board of Directors of the Company which, if consummated, would constitute a Change in Control or (ii) any negotiation
with the Board of Directors or any committee or representative thereof to make such an offer (including the unilateral announcement of the terms on which such an offer would be made). 
 14. Claim and Appeal Procedure. This Section 14 of the Plan shall not apply after there has been a Change in Control.

 The Company shall appoint a person or persons to adjudicate claims and appeals under the Plan (the
“Administrator”). The Administrator shall provide adequate notice in writing to any Participant or to any beneficiary (the “Claimant”) whose claim for benefits under the Plan has been denied. The Administrator’s notice to
the Claimant shall set forth: 
 (a) The specific reason for the denial; 
 (b) Specific references to pertinent Plan provisions upon which the Administrator based its denial; 
 (c) A description of any additional material and information that is needed; 
 (d) That any appeal the Claimant wishes to make of the adverse determination must be in writing to the Administrator within seventy-five
(75) days after receipt of the Administrator’s notice of denial of benefits. The Administrator’s notice must further advise the Claimant that failure to appeal the action to the Administrator in writing within the seventy-five
(75) day period will render the Administrator’s determination final, binding and conclusive; and 
 (e) The name and
address to whom the Claimant may forward an appeal. 
 If the Claimant should appeal to the Administrator, the Claimant, or the
Claimant’s duly authorized representative, may submit, in writing, whatever issues and comments the Claimant or the Claimant’s duly authorized representative feels are pertinent. The Claimant, or the Claimant’s duly authorized
representative, may review pertinent Plan documents. The Administrator shall re-examine all facts to the appeal and make a final determination as to whether the denial of benefits is justified under the circumstances. The Administrator shall advise
the Claimant of its decision within sixty (60) days of the Claimant’s written request for review, unless special circumstances (such as a hearing) would make the rendering of a decision within the sixty (60) day limit unfeasible, but
in no event shall the Administrator render a decision respecting a denial for a claim of benefits later than one hundred twenty (120) days after its receipt of a request for review. The Administrator’s notice to the Claimant shall set
forth: 
 (i) The specific reason for the denial; 
  


 8 








 (ii) Specific references to pertinent Plan provisions upon which the Administrator based its
denial; 
 (iii) A statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to,
and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the Claimant’s claim; and 
 (iv) A statement that
the Claimant has a right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. 
 15. Governing Law. This Plan, and
the rights and obligations of the Company and the Participants hereunder, shall be construed and governed in accordance with the law of the State of New Jersey. 
 16. Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Plan is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Plan, which
shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms.
