CYTEC SUPPLEMENTAL SAVINGS PLAN

(as amended and restated effective January 1, 2009)

Effective as of November 1, 1994, Cytec Industries Inc. (the “ Company ”) established the Cytec Supplemental Savings and Profit Sharing Plan. The Cytec Supplemental Savings and Profit Sharing Plan was restated in its entirety effective July 22, 2003, to incorporate amendments made since the last restatement and to permit Eligible Employees to choose the Cytec Stock Fund as a hypothetical investment option.

The Cytec Supplemental Savings and Profit Sharing Plan is amended and restated effective January 1, 2009 and renamed the Cytec Supplemental Savings Plan (the “ Plan ”). 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 Plan is intended to constitute an unfunded pension plan that is maintained primarily for a select group of management or highly compensated employees and which is exempt from Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). The purpose of the Plan is to provide each Section 401(a)(17) Eligible Employee and each Section 401(a)(17) Participant with the opportunity to defer a portion of their annual Earnings and to receive employer matching contribution, profit sharing contribution and Transition Credits, and to provide Tax Limited Participants with employer contribution amounts that such Tax Limited Participants would otherwise lose under the Savings Plan as a result of the limit on tax Limited Code Sections. The Plan is not a qualified plan under the Code and benefits are paid by or on behalf of the Company.

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, with respect to Grandfathered Amounts, the provisions of the Cytec Supplemental Savings and Profit Sharing Plan, as amended July 22, 2003, and attached hereto as Appendix B, shall apply as to the timing and form of payment, and non-scheduled in-service distributions.

ARTICLE III

Savings Deferrals

3.1 Deferral Election. With respect to Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2008, prior to the commencement of each Plan Year, a Section 401(a)(17) Participant may elect to defer up to (a) an amount equal to (25 minus X)% of Earnings (excluding bonus that is earned during such Plan Year); and (b) an amount equal to 25% of the Participant’s bonus that is earned during such Plan Year. Such deferral limits shall be applied on a per payroll basis. The term “X” shall equal 100 times the amount obtained by dividing (i) the applicable dollar limit under Section 402(g) of the Code for such Plan Year, by (ii) the applicable dollar limit under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for such Plan Year, rounded up to the next whole number.

A Section 401(a)(17) Eligible Employee may submit an initial deferral election with respect to the Plan to the Administrator within thirty (30) days of the date that such Eligible Employee became an Eligible Employee. A Section 401(a)(17) Participant may not modify a deferral election during the Plan Year. If a Participant takes a hardship withdrawal from the Savings Plan which subjects the Section 401(a)(17) Participant to the requirement that elective deferrals to all plans maintained by the Employer be discontinued, the Section 401(a)(17) Participant’s deferral election will be treated as revoked under the Plan for the entire Plan Years that include the applicable six-month suspension period.

3.2 Matching Contribution. Each Section 401(a)(17) Participant shall receive a matching contribution under this Plan equal to the amount of the matching contribution that would have been made on the Section 401(a)(17) Participant’s behalf under the Savings Plan without giving effect to contributions to either this Plan or any other deferred compensation plan but for the imposition of the limit imposed for that Plan Year under the Tax Limited Code Sections, minus the amount of the employer matching contributions made to Section 401(a)(17) Participants under the Savings Plan for that Plan Year. In no event shall matching contributions under this Plan exceed the amount that is deferred by such Participant for that Plan Year pursuant to the Plan. The matching contribution shall be payable at an administratively convenient time subsequent to the Plan Year, or Separation from Service, if earlier, and shall not be entitled to any interest.

ARTICLE IV

Profit Sharing Contributions and Transition Credits

4.1 Profit Sharing Contributions . Each Section 401(a)(17) Participant and each Section 401(a)(17) Eligible Employee shall receive a profit sharing contribution with respect to each payroll period equal to the amount of the profit sharing contribution that would have been made on the Section 401(a)(17) Eligible Employee’s behalf under the Savings Plan but for the imposition of the limits under the Tax Limited Code Sections less the amount of profit sharing contributions that such Section 401(a)(17) Eligible Employee actually receives in the Savings Plan with respect to that payroll period.

4.2 Transition Credits . Each Section 401(a)(17) Participant shall receive Transition Credits with respect to each payroll period equal to the amount of the Transition Credits that

would have been made on the Section 401(a)(17) Participant’s behalf under the Savings Plan but for the imposition of the limits under the Tax Limited Code Sections less the amount of transition credits that such Section 401(a)(17) Eligible Employee actually receives in the Savings Plan with respect to that payroll period.

4.3 Employer Contributions on behalf of Tax Limited Eligible Employees . Each Tax Limited Eligible Employee shall receive an employer contribution after the end of the Plan Year, or Separation from Service, if earlier, equal to the amount of matching contributions, transition credits and profit sharing contributions that the Tax Limited Eligible Employee would have received under the Savings Plan but for the imposition of the limits under the Tax Limited Code Sections less the amount of employer matching contributions, transition credits and profit sharing contributions that such Tax Limited Eligible Employee actually receives in the Savings Plan with respect to such Plan Year. Such matching amount shall be based on the average of the Tax Limited Eligible Employee’s deferral elections under the Savings Plan during the period January 1 through the date the Tax Limited Eligible Employee reaches any one of the limitations in the Tax Limited Code Sections.

ARTICLE V

Participant Accounts

5.1 Establishment; Crediting of Amounts Deferred . An account will be established for each Section 401(a)(17) Participant to reflect the amount credited to a Section 401(a)(17) Participant as a deferral pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Plan on the approximate date on which such amounts would have been paid to the Section 401(a)(17) Participant but for the Section 401(a)(17) Participant’s election to defer receipt hereunder, as well as the amount of matching contribution, profit sharing contribution and Transition Credits which is credited to the Section 401(a)(17) Participant’s hypothetical Account Balance pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Plan and Article IV of the Plan, respectively.
