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

Performance Period:  January 1, 20__ to December 31, 20__

Dear Employee:

     As a key  employee  of  Cytec  Industries  Inc.  (the  "Company"),  or of a
subsidiary  or  affiliate  of  the  Company,   you  have  been  granted  by  the
Compensation and Management Development Committee (the "Committee") of the Board
of Directors for the one-year  performance  period indicated above a performance
cash  award,  the base  amount of which is equal to the amount  set forth  above
("Performance  Cash").  This award is subject to the terms and conditions hereof
and of  the  Company's  1993  Stock  Award  and  Incentive  Plan  (the  "Plan").
Performance  Cash is awarded  pursuant to Section 6(i) of the Plan.  Performance
Cash,  to the extent it  becomes  payable,  will be paid as soon as  practicable
after  determination  that the Award is  payable.  This Award is not  subject to
Section 6A of the Plan.

     Certain  restrictions  with  respect  to this  award  include,  but are not
limited to, the following:

     (1) Subject to Paragraphs (3) and (4) below,  and subject to the attainment
of performance  goals as hereinafter  provided,  this award of Performance  Cash
shall vest effective as of January 1, 20__;  provided that such vesting shall be
subject  to  the  further  requirement  that  the  Committee  certify  that  the
performance goals have been met.

     (2)  Performance  goals,  and the related payout matrix,  for this award of
Performance  Cash have been set by the  Committee  and will be advised to you in
writing.  The  performance  goals are based on 2009  adjusted EPS and 2009 ROIC.
Half of this  Performance  Cash award  will vest in part,  in full or in greater
than the full amount if the performance goal for adjusted EPS is partly,  fully,
or more than fully achieved.  The other half of this Performance Cash award will
vest in part, in full or in greater than the full amount if the performance goal
for ROIC is  partly,  fully or more than  fully  achieved.  The  maximum  amount
payable under this Award is twice the base amount  specified at the head of this
Agreement and there is no minimum amount payable.

     (3) The Performance Cash may not be sold, assigned,  transferred,  pledged,
hypothecated  or otherwise  disposed of and any  attempted  assignment  shall be
void.

     (4) Performance Cash shall not bear any interest.

     (5) If your  employment  with the Company or a subsidiary  terminates on or
prior to the end of the performance period, all unvested  Performance Cash shall
be forfeited,  except as provided in paragraphs (6) and (7), below, or except as
the Committee shall otherwise determine.

     (6) If your  employment  with the  Company  or a  subsidiary  or  affiliate
terminates  by reason of your (i)  death,  (ii)  disability  as  defined  in the
Company's  Long-Term  Disability  Plan,  (iii)  retirement on or after your 60th
birthday,  or (iv) under other  circumstances  determined by the Committee to be
not contrary to the best  interest of the  Company,  then,  if such  termination
occurs in [2nd calendar year after date of award],  your  Performance Cash award
shall not be forfeited by reason of such termination of employment;  and if your
employment  so  terminates  in  [first  calendar  year  after  date  of  award],
two-thirds  of said award shall not be so forfeited;  and if your  employment so
terminates in [calendar year of award],  one-third of said award shall not be so
forfeited.  Nothing contained in this paragraph shall preclude the Company (with
the  approval  of the  Committee)  and you from  agreeing  in  writing as to the
portions of your awards which are not forfeited by reason of the  termination of
your employment.

     (7) As provided in the Plan, and in the Committee's "Target Document," upon
the  occurrence of a "change in control" the maximum amount of all unvested (and
not previously forfeited)  Performance Cash payable hereunder (i.e., 200% of the
base amount specified at the head of this Agreement to the extent not previously
forfeited) shall immediately vest. Upon such occurrence,  the vested Performance
Cash shall be paid to you promptly.

     (8) Nothing in this award shall  confer on you any right to continue in the
employ of the Company or any of its  subsidiaries  or affiliates or interfere in
any way  with  the  right of the  Company  or any  subsidiary  or  affiliate  to
terminate your employment at any time.

     You agree to pay the Company promptly, on demand, any withholding taxes due
in respect of the Awards made hereunder. The Company may deduct such withholding
taxes from any amounts owing to you by the Company or by any of its subsidiaries
or affiliates.

     Once  Performance  Cash  vests as  herein  provided,  it shall no longer be
deemed to be  Performance  Cash, 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.
