                            ----------------------------------------------------

Dear :

     For your valued  service on the Board of Directors  ("the  Board") of Cytec
Industries Inc. (the  "Company"),  you have been granted by the Board based upon
the recommendation of the Compensation and Management Development Committee (the
"Committee")  of the Board an award of  Restricted  Stock equal to the number of
shares of Common Stock,  par value of $.01 per share,  of the Company  indicated
above  ("Restricted  Stock").  This award is subject to the terms and conditions
hereof and of the Company's 1993 Stock Award and Incentive Plan, as amended (the
"Plan").

     (1)  The Company will cause the shares of Restricted Stock to be issued and
registered in your name in book entry form on the Company's stock register.  You
agree that only the Company is authorized to direct the transfers or disposition
of Restricted  Stock from these accounts and you hereby  irrevocably  constitute
and  appoint  Cytec  Industries  Inc.  as  attorney  to  transfer  the shares of
Restricted  Stock  awarded  to you under this  Agreement  with the full power of
substitution in the premises.  Upon satisfying the vesting  provisions  below, a
certificate  for the  shares  will be  forwarded  to you at  your  address  then
appearing on the Company's stock register.

     (2)  Subject to Paragraphs  6, 7 and 8 of this  Agreement,  the  Restricted
Stock shall vest in full,  effective as of the third  anniversary of the date of
this award.

     (3)  The Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred,  pledged,
hypothecated  or  otherwise  disposed  of; and  neither the right to receive the

Company's common stock ("Common  Stock"),  nor any interest therein or under the
Plan, may be assigned; and any attempted assignment shall be void.

     (4)  Subject to Section 6 and prior to vesting,  the  Company  will pay you
any  dividends  that are  declared  and  paid  with  respect  to the  shares  of
Restricted Stock.

     (5)  Except as limited by this  Agreement or the Plan,  you shall have,  as
holder of  non-forfeited  shares of  Restricted  Stock,  all of the  rights of a
common  stockholder of the Company,  including the right to vote.  Nevertheless,
Securities  distributed in respect of such Restricted Stock in connection with a
stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or other similar transaction shall
be deemed to be Restricted Stock and shall be subject to restrictions and a risk
of forfeiture to the same extent as the  Restricted  Stock with respect to which
such stock has been distributed.

     (6)  If you cease to serve as a member  of the  Board  prior to the date of
vesting,  all shares of Restricted  Stock shall be forfeited.  However,  vesting
will continue after separation from the Board if:

          (i)  such  resignation  or  refusal is the  result of  disability  (as
defined below) or the death of the Director; or

          (ii) such  resignation  or refusal to stand for reelection is approved
(as it relates to your reasons for  terminating  your service as a Board member)
or  requested  by a  majority  of  the  remaining  members  of the  Board  or by
stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding common stock of the Company.

          "Disability"  shall exist if, due to sickness or injury,  your ability
to perform your duties as a member of the Board becomes significantly impaired.

     (7)  As provided in the Plan,  upon the occurrence of a "change in control"
the  unvested  shares of  Restricted  Stock shall  immediately  vest.  Upon such
occurrence,  the vested  shares of  Restricted  Stock shall be  delivered to you
promptly.

     (8)  Within 30 days of the date of the award,  you may elect (the "Deferred
Election") by providing  notice to the Secretary of the  Compensation  Committee
that all or a portion of your  Restricted  Stock be  forfeited as of the date it
normally  would vest and that you be issued,  in lieu thereof,  a Deferred Stock
Award for the equivalent number of shares.

     If you elect to receive a Deferred  Stock award,  then  effective as of the
date on which the  Restricted  Stock  otherwise  would vest, the total award (or
such lesser  percentage  of such total award as shall have been  elected by you)
shall be forfeited, and you will be issued instead a Deferred Stock Award, equal
to the number of shares of  Restricted  Stock so forfeited.  In this event,  any
dividends  held by the  Company on your  behalf  with  respect to such shares of
Restricted  Stock will also be  forfeited  and you will be issued,  instead,  an
additional  Deferred  Stock  Award with an  equivalent  value to such  forfeited
dividends.  At the time of the Deferral Election, you will also make an election
as to the form of payment  of your  Deferred  Stock  Award  consistent  with the
payment options set forth in the Plan.

     (9)  Nothing in this award  shall  confer on you any right to  continue  to
serve as a member of the Board.

     (10) The  Company  reserves  the right to require  that stock  certificates
issuable to you in connection  with the  Restricted  Stock award be delivered to
you only within the United States.

     (11) The  Common  Stock  issued to you  hereunder  may not be resold by you
except pursuant to an effective  registration statement under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, or pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule
144.

     (12) Once Restricted Stock vests as herein provided,  it shall no longer be
deemed to be Restricted  Stock,  and your rights thereto shall not be subject to
the restrictions of this Agreement or of the Plan.

     In the event of any conflict  between the terms of this  Agreement  and the
provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern.

     If you accept the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement,  please
execute the enclosed  copy of this letter where  indicated and return it as soon
as possible, at which time the award shall become effective.

                      MANAGEMENT DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

         The Buffalo Wild Wings, Inc. Management Deferred Compensation Plan (the
"Plan") adopted May 20, 1999, amended January 1, 2002, was amended by the Board
of Directors on December 4, 2003 to permit a lump sum payment of any balance
owed to an individual participant at any time that such balance is less than
$20,000. Section 4.2.2 of the Plan is amended and restated in its entirety as
follows:

                  "4.2.2 Acceleration or Change in Manner of Payment.
         Notwithstanding Section 4.2.1, the Board, in its sole discretion and
         after consultation with the payee, may accelerate payments or make
         payments in a different manner if it determines that such acceleration
         or change in the manner of payment would be in the best interest of the
         payee; provided, however, that such payment on the first payment date
         shall not exceed 50% of the vested value of the participant's account.
         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may authorize a lump sum
         payment of any balance owed to an individual participant at any time if
         such balance is less than $20,000."

         Except as amended herein, all provisions of the Plan shall remain in
full force and effect.

         This Amendment has been executed by its duly authorized officer as of
this 4th day of December, 2003.

                              --------------------

     This Employment Agreement ("Agreement") between Southwest Water Company
("Company") and Cheryl L. Clary ("Executive") is entered into effective as of
April 28, 2006 ("Effective Date"). The Company and Executive are each a Party
and are collectively referred to as the "Parties" to this Agreement.

                              REASON FOR AGREEMENT

firm to begin a search for a new Chief Executive Officer ("CEO").

     B. The Company considers a sound and vital management team to be essential
and wishes to encourage the Executive to effectively perform Executive's duties
and responsibilities without distraction from circumstances arising in the event
of a change of CEO. Therefore, in the event a new CEO is hired during the Term,
the Company desires to provide certain incentives and separation benefits under
the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement. The date a new CEO is hired
will be referred to as the "Transition Date."

     C. The Parties desire to formalize the terms of their continued employment
relationship.

December 31, 2006 ("Expiration Date"). Prior to the Transition Date and
following the Expiration Date, the terms and conditions of Executive's
employment will be governed by the Company's usual policies for executives
(including any Company Change of Control Agreement then in effect) or as
otherwise agreed by the Parties.

     2. Duties and Responsibilities.

          2.1. Duties. During the Term, Executive agrees to continue to serve as

CEO and the Board of Directors.

          2.2. Business Ethics. During the Term, Executive will perform
Executive's duties and responsibilities faithfully, diligently and to the best
of Executive's ability, consistent with the highest and best standards of the
industry and in compliance with all applicable laws and the Company's policies
and procedures. Executive understands that it is the Company's policy to conduct
its business according to the highest moral, ethical and legal standards and
agrees to uphold those standards of business conduct and ethical principles, and
comply with all applicable laws and regulations and the Company's Ethics Policy.

will terminate immediately following written notice from the Company to
Executive which identifies the termination provision relied upon and outlines in

accommodation.

        4.4. Involuntary Termination of Employment. The Company may terminate
this Agreement and Executive's employment for any reason or no reason upon 60
days written notice. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of
Executive's employment by the Company, other than a termination for Cause, death

The date of Company's notice of termination to Executive under this Section 4.4,

For purpose of this Agreement, "Good Reason" means the occurrence of any of the

are corrected within a reasonable time after written notice from Executive to
the Company which identifies the termination provision relied upon and outlines
in reasonable detail the circumstances claimed to provide the basis for the Good
Reason termination: (a) the Company materially reduces Executive's Base Salary
or benefits, unless such reduction is on a basis not materially less favorable
to Executive relative to other employees in comparable positions; (b) the
Company substantially and adversely reduces duties and scope of responsibility;
provided however that the assignment of different or additional management
responsibilities does not by itself constitute a substantial and adverse
reduction; or (c) the Company relocates Executive's office to a location more
than 50 miles from its location on the Effective Date (except that required
travel by Executive to an extent substantially consistent with Executive's
business travel obligations as of the Effective Date will not constitute
relocation under this Section).

     5. Effect of Termination.

        5.1. Termination for Good Reason or Involuntary Termination. In the
event of Executive's Voluntary Termination of Employment for Good Reason (as
defined in Section 4.5) or the Company's Involuntary Termination of Executive's

          5.1.2. Severance Pay. The Company will pay to Executive, as severance
pay, an amount equal to 0.75 times Executive's Base Salary as of the Notice of

Executive's Termination Date, except as may otherwise be required to comply with
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

Executive which would have vested within one year of the Termination Date under
any equity compensation plan of the Company will vest and become immediately
exercisable on the Notice of Termination Date, except as may otherwise be
required to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. If Executive
remains employed until the expiration of the Term, Executive will not be
entitled to this acceleration of option vesting.

          5.1.4. Change of Control. The Parties agree that Executive will
execute a Change of Control Severance Agreement of even date and concurrently
with the execution of this Agreement. If Executive's employment is terminated
upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as that term is defined in the
Executive's Change of Control Agreement then in effect), Executive will be
entitled to the greater of the benefits provided under this Agreement or the
Change of Control Agreement, but not both.

        5.2. Other Termination of Employment. In the event that Executive's

reimbursement of approved business expenses; and (c) benefits provided under the
Company's benefit plans and as otherwise required by law.

termination of Executive's employment with the Company, Executive will tender a
written notice of Executive's resignation from any and all offices of the
Company and all subsidiaries, affiliates or clients in which Executive
represents the Company in the capacity of an officer or director.
Notwithstanding any failure by Executive to provide the Company with such
written notice of resignation within three days after the date of the
termination of Executive's employment with the Company, Executive authorizes and
directs the Board of Directors to accept Executive's resignation from all said
positions effective as of the date of termination of Executive's employment.

        5.4. Execution Of Release Agreement As Condition To Receiving Payments.
In the event of Executive's Voluntary Termination of Employment for Good Reason
(as defined in Section 4.5) or the Company's Involuntary Termination of
Executive's Employment (as defined in Section 4.4) during the Term, Executive
agrees to execute a general release of claims in a form agreeable to the Parties
as a condition to receiving the benefits and payments provided under Section
5.1.

        7.2. Choice Of Law And Forum. This Agreement will be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California and both
Parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of the courts of the State of
California.

        7.3. Arbitration. Subject to the exceptions described in this Agreement,
any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement
or any breach of it (each a "Claim" and collectively "Claims"), will be settled
by binding arbitration in Los Angeles, California in accordance with the
Employment Dispute Resolution Procedures of any recognized arbitration
organization selected by the parties to resolve any Claim.

          7.3.1. The Claims covered by this agreement include, without
limitation, claims for wages and other compensation, claims for breach of
contract (express or implied), tort claims, claims for discrimination
(including, but not limited to, race, sex, sexual orientation, religion,
national origin, age, marital status, medical condition, and disability),
harassment (including, but not limited to race, sex, sexual orientation,
religion, national origin, age, marital status, medical condition, and
disability), and claims for violation of any federal, state, or other government
law, statute, regulation, or ordinance. This provision shall not apply, however,
to claims for workers' compensation or unemployment insurance benefits or
claims; nor shall it restrict the Executive's right to submit claims to the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or the Department of Fair Employment and
Housing, as appropriate. The Parties may elect to arbitrate or bring a civil
action to obtain any injunctive or other provisional relief (including for
breaches or threatened breaches of Section 6 or any of the restrictive
covenants, confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements).

          7.3.2. The Parties may select an arbitrator from any recognized
arbitration associations satisfactory to both Parties. If the Parties cannot
agree on an arbitrator within 30 days of the demand for arbitration, the moving
Party will request from either of American Arbitration Association, JAMS or ADR
a list of five (5) names drawn from its panel of employment arbitrators. The
Parties will select from that list by striking arbitrators pursuant to the
strike procedures of that organization.

          7.3.3. The demand for arbitration must be in writing and made within
the applicable statue of limitations period. The parties will be entitled to
conduct reasonable discovery, including conducting depositions and requesting
documents. The arbitrator will have the authority to resolve discovery disputes
including determining what constitutes reasonable discovery. The arbitrator will
have all powers conferred by law, and will prepare and provide to the Parties a
written decision and award which includes factual findings and the conclusions
upon which such an award is based. The arbitrator may grant injunctions or other
relief in such dispute or controversy. The decision of the arbitrator will be
final, conclusive and binding on the Parties to the arbitration. Judgment may be
entered on the arbitrator's decision in any court having jurisdiction

          7.3.4. If required by law, the fees for the arbitrator and the
arbitration forum shall be paid by the Company and Executive will not be
required to bear any type of expense that the Executive would not be required to
bear if Claims were litigated in court. The Parties will each bear their own
attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection with the arbitration, except
for any attorneys' fees or costs which are awarded by the Arbitrator pursuant
this Agreement or statute which provides for recovery of such fees and costs.

          7.3.5. The Company and Executive each understand and agree that by
using arbitration to resolve any claims between the Parties, the Company and
Executive are giving up any right that they may have to a judge or jury trial
with regard to the Claims. Both Parties acknowledge that they are entering into
this Agreement voluntarily and have independently negotiated and agreed upon
this arbitration provision.

        7.4. Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes any and all other
agreements whether oral or in writing, between the Parties hereto with respect
to the employment of Executive by the Company (including Executive's Severance
Compensation Agreement) and contains all covenants and agreements between the
Parties relating to such employment in any manner whatsoever. Each Party to this
Agreement acknowledges that no representations, inducements, promises, or
agreements, oral or written, have been made by any Party, or anyone acting on
behalf of any Party, that are not embodied herein, and that no other agreement,
statement, or promise not contained in this Agreement will be valid or binding.

        7.5. Modification And Waiver. Any modification of this Agreement will be
effective only if it is in writing signed by the Party to be charged. No waiver
of any of the provisions of this Agreement will be deemed, or will constitute, a
waiver of any other provision, whether or not similar, nor will any waiver
constitute a continuing waiver. No waiver will be binding unless executed in
writing by the Party making the waiver.

        7.6. Assignment. Because of the personal nature of the services to be
rendered hereunder, this Agreement may not be assigned in whole or in part by
Executive without the prior written consent of the Company. Subject to the
foregoing limitation, this Agreement will be binding on, and will inure to the
benefit of, the Parties hereto and their respective heirs, legatees, executors,
administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns. The Company
agrees to require any successor to assume and perform this Agreement.

        7.7. Severability. If for any reason whatsoever, any one or more of the
provisions of this Agreement will be held or deemed to be inoperative,
unenforceable, or invalid as applied to any particular case or in all cases,
such circumstances will not have the effect of rendering any such provision
inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any other case or of rendering any of
the other provisions of this Agreement inoperative, unenforceable or invalid.

        7.8. Representation By Counsel; Interpretation. The Company and
Executive acknowledge that each Party to this agreement has had the opportunity
to be represented by counsel in connection with this Agreement and the matters
contemplated by this Agreement. Accordingly, any rule of law or decision which
would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement
against the Party that drafted it has no application and is expressly waived. In
addition, the term "including" and its variations are always used in the
non-restrictive sense (as if followed by a phrase such as "but not limited to").
The provisions of this Agreement will be interpreted in a reasonable manner to
affect the intent of the Parties.

        7.9. Corporate Authority. The Company represents and warrants as of the
Effective Date that the Company's execution and delivery of this Agreement to
Executive and the carrying out of the provisions of the Agreement have been duly
authorized by the Company's Board of Directors and authorized by the Company's
shareholders as appropriate.

        7.10. Attorneys' Fees. In any action at law or in equity to enforce or
construe any provisions or rights under this Agreement, the unsuccessful Party
will pay the successful Party all costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys'
fees.

        7.11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in one
or more counterparts, each of, which will be deemed an original, but all of
which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Fax signatures will
be valid and binding.

        7.12. Headings And Captions. Headings and captions are included for
purposes of convenience only and are not a part of this Agreement.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Agreement effective
as of the day and year first written above at Los Angeles, California.
