Executive Income Continuity Plan



 Exhibit 10.2(f) 
 CYTEC INDUSTRIES INC. 
 Executive Income Continuity Plan 
 (as amended and restated December 15, 2008) 
 1. Purpose. The purpose of this Executive 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 is amended and restated effective December 15,
2008. 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

 5. Income Continuation. 
 (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 7 of the Plan, upon the termination of employment, pursuant to Section 4 of the Plan, of a Participant,
who is an Officer or who, on the Date of Termination, has at least one year of Service, the Company shall pay to the Participant the sum of the Participant’s annual base salary at the rate in effect at the time Notice of Termination is given
plus the Participant’s Annual Bonus (excluding performance stock/cash awards) under the I.C. Plan based on such rate, in equal monthly installments over a 12 month period following the Date of Termination, subject to Subsections (c) and

Participant participated in the I.C. Plan). 
 (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 7 of the Plan, upon the termination of
employment, pursuant to Section 4 of the Plan, of any other Participant, the Company shall pay to the Participant the sum of the Participant’s annual base salary at the rate in effect at the time Notice of Termination is given plus the
Participant’s Annual Bonus (excluding Performance Stock/Cash Awards) under the I.C. Plan based on such rate, in equal monthly installments over a period of 12 months following the Date of Termination. 
 (c) All payments under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 5 of the Plan shall commence, or be paid, on the first business day of the
seventh month after the Participant’s 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 Participant’s Date of Termination, without interest. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the
contrary, (i) no payment shall be made with respect to any period beyond the date of the 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 

  

 5 








 
or one of its subsidiaries, and (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. Payment that cannot otherwise be made to the Participant prior to the Participant’s 65th birthday as a result of the
six-month delay described in Subsection (c) 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. Other Payments. Subject to the provisions of Section 7 of the Plan, upon termination of the employment 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, pay to the Participant: 
 (a) All relocation payments described in Section 2(h)(vi) of the Plan and all legal fees and expenses incurred by the Participant as a result of such termination (including all such fees and expenses, if any, incurred in contesting or
disputing any such termination or in seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by this Plan or in connection with any tax audit or proceeding to the extent attributable to the application of Section 4999 of the Code to any
payment or benefit provided hereunder); and 
 (b) During the period of two years following the Date of Termination, all reasonable expenses
incurred by the Participant in seeking comparable employment with another employer to the extent not otherwise reimbursed to the Participant, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of a reputable out placement organization, and
reasonable travel, telephone and office expenses. 
 7. Competitive Employment. The Company, at its option, may discontinue any
payments being made to any Participant pursuant to Section 5 or Section 6 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 7 of the Plan. 
 8. Maintenance of Other Benefit Plans. For a period of two (2) years
following a Participant’s Date of Termination, 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,
comprehensive medical and dental insurance, group life insurance, and financial planning and tax preparation and counseling services (but not including disability coverage) on the same basis as such Participant participated immediately prior to the
Date of Termination, and further provided that if the 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. 

 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 

  

 6 








 
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 except for termination where a Participant not be entitled to income
continuation payments as provided in Section 4 and except as provided in Section 7 of the Plan. 
 13. Amendment and
Termination. 
 (a) The Board of Directors may at any time or from time to time amend or terminate this Plan. 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 or terminated without the consent of all persons who were Participants as of the date of such Change
in Control (including those who have retired). 
 (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. 
  

 7 








 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 the Claimant’s 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; 
 (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.
