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

(a)    Change in Control. No compensation or other benefit pursuant to Section 4

employee of an Employer and the Executive’s employment by an Employer thereafter
shall have terminated in accordance with Section 3(b)(i) hereof; or
(ii)    the Executive’s employment by an Employer shall have terminated in
accordance with Section 3(b)(ii) hereof prior to the occurrence of a Change in

(b)    Termination of Employment. The Executive shall be entitled to the
compensation provided for in Section 4 hereof if:
(i)    within two years after a Change in Control, the Executive’s employment is
terminated (A) by an Employer for any reason other than (I) the Executive’s

(c)    Notice of Termination. Any purported termination of the Executive’s
employment (other than on account of the Executive’s death) with an Employer

termination is by an Employer, or to an Employer, if such termination is by the
Executive. For purposes of this Agreement, “Notice of Termination” shall mean a
written notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this
Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and
circumstances claimed to be a basis for termination of the Executive’s
employment under the provisions so indicated. For purposes of this Agreement, no
purported termination of the Executive’s employment with an Employer shall be
effective without such a Notice of Termination having been given.

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

4.    Compensation upon Qualifying Termination. Subject to the Executive’s
execution and non-revocation of a Release pursuant to Section 5(a), upon the
date of (x) the Executive’s termination of employment pursuant to Section
3(b)(i) or (y) the consummation of a Change in Control pursuant to Section
3(b)(ii) (each, a “Qualifying Event”), the Executive shall become entitled to
receive the following payments and benefits at the time set forth in Section
5(b):
(a)    Severance. The Company shall pay or cause to be paid to the Executive a
cash severance amount equal to the product of (i) the Severance Multiple and
(ii) the sum of (A) the Executive’s annual base salary on the date of the Change
in Control (or, if higher, the annual base salary in effect immediately prior to
the giving of the Notice of Termination), and (B) the Executive’s Bonus. This
cash severance amount shall be payable in a lump sum calculated without any
discount.
(b)    Additional Payments and Benefits. The Executive shall also be entitled to
receive:
(i)    a lump-sum cash payment equal to the sum of (A) the Executive’s accrued
but unpaid base salary through the date of Separation from Service, (B) the
unpaid portion, if any, of bonuses previously earned by the Executive pursuant
to any Company annual incentive compensation plans, (C) the pro rata portion of
100% of the Executive’s then-current target bonus (as previously established by
the Compensation Committee) (the “Target Bonus”), calculated through the date of
the Qualifying Event, and (D) an amount equal to any accrued vacation pay, in
each case in full satisfaction of the Executive’s rights thereto;
(ii)    a lump-sum cash payment equal to the excess of (A) the present value of
the payments that the Executive would be entitled to receive under the
Supplemental Retirement Plans in which the Executive is eligible to participate
immediately prior to the Qualifying Event, assuming that the Executive receives
(1) additional service credit for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit
accrual under such Supplemental Retirement Plans, to the extent applicable, with
respect to the number of months equal to the Benefit Continuation Period and (2)
additional age credit under such Supplemental Retirement Plans with respect to
the number of months equal to the Benefit Continuation Period solely to the
extent applicable for purposes of calculating any early retirement reduction (in
each case, calculated using the assumptions set forth under such Supplemental
Retirement Plans) over (B) the present value of the payments that the Executive
would be entitled to receive under such Supplemental Retirement Plans absent the
additional service and age credit credited pursuant to Sections 4(b)(ii)(A)(1)
and (2);

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

(iii)    continued medical, dental, vision and life insurance coverage
(excluding accident, death and disability insurance) for the Executive and the
Executive’s eligible dependents or, to the extent such coverage is not
commercially available, such other arrangements reasonably acceptable to the
Executive, on the same basis as in effect immediately prior to the Change in
Control or the Qualifying Termination, whichever is deemed to provide for more
substantial benefits, during the Benefit Continuation Period; provided that the
amount of benefits the Executive receives in any one year shall not affect the
amount of benefits he may receive in any subsequent year; and
(iv)    all other accrued or vested benefits and any compensation previously
deferred in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan.
(c)    Outplacement. If so requested by the Executive, outplacement services
shall be provided for a period of one year by a professional outplacement
provider selected by the Executive; provided, however, that such outplacement
services shall be provided to the Executive at a cost to the Company of not more
than fifteen percent (15%) of the Executive’s annual base salary immediately
prior to the Qualifying Event.
5.    Release; Timing of Payment; Withholding.
(a)    Payments and benefits provided pursuant to Section 4 are conditioned on
the Executive’s execution and non-revocation of a release of claims agreement
and covenant not to sue in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A
(a “Release”). The Company shall deliver the Release to the Executive within
seven (7) days following the date of the Qualifying Event (and the Company’s
failure to deliver a Release prior to the expiration of such seven (7) day
period shall constitute a waiver of any requirement to execute a Release) and
the Executive shall be required to execute the Release on or prior to the
Release Expiration Date. If the Executive fails to execute the Release on or
prior to the Release Expiration Date or timely revokes his/her acceptance of the
Release thereafter, the Executive shall not be entitled to receive any of the
payments and benefits provided pursuant to Section 4. For purposes of this
Agreement, “Release Expiration Date” shall mean the date that is 21 days
following the date upon which the Company timely delivers the Release to the
Executive, or, in the event that the Executive’s termination of employment is
“in connection with an exit incentive or other employment termination program
(as such phrase is defined in the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967),
the date that is 45 days following such delivery date.

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

(b)    Except as otherwise provided in Section 10, all lump sum payments under
Section 4 shall be paid on the first payroll date to occur on or after the 60th
day following the Qualifying Event. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent
that the Executive is entitled to receive any lump sum payments with reference
to any Supplemental Retirement Plans in connection with the Qualifying Event,
pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii), the present value of his/her Supplemental
Retirement Plan benefit(s) shall be calculated under the terms of the applicable
Supplemental Retirement Plans and, for purposes of determining the lump-sum
payment under Section 4(a)(ii), such calculation of present value shall include
any additional age and service credit provided pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii).
(c)    Payments and benefits provided pursuant to Section 4 shall be subject to
any applicable payroll and other taxes required to be withheld.
6.    Compensation upon Death, Disability or Retirement. If the Executive’s
employment is terminated by reason of death, Disability or Retirement prior to
any other termination, the Executive will be entitled to receive:
(a)    the sum of (i) the Executive’s accrued but unpaid salary through the date
of such termination, (ii) a pro-rata portion of the Executive’s Target Bonus for
the year in which the Executive’s employment is terminated due to death or
Disability (calculated through the date of such termination), and (iii) an
amount equal to any accrued vacation pay; and
(b)    other accrued or vested benefits and any compensation previously deferred
in accordance with the terms of the applicable plans.

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

7.    Excess Parachute Payments. If it is determined (as hereafter provided)
that any payment or distribution by the Company or any Employer to or for the
benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or
distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise pursuant to
or by reason of any other agreement, policy, plan, program or arrangement,
including without limitation any stock option, stock appreciation right or
similar right, or the lapse or termination of any restriction on or the vesting
or exercisability of any of the foregoing (a “Payment”) would be subject to the
excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provision
thereto) by reason of being “contingent on a change in ownership or control” of
the Company, within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (or any successor
provision thereto) or to any similar tax imposed by state or local law, or any
interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such tax or taxes,
together with any such interest or penalties, are hereafter collectively
referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then, in the event that the after-tax value of
all Payments to the Executive (such after-tax value to reflect the deduction of
the Excise Tax and all income or other taxes on such Payments) would, in the
aggregate, be less than the after-tax value to the Executive of the Safe Harbor
Amount, (a) the cash portions of the Payments payable to the Executive under
this Agreement shall be reduced, in the order in which they are due to be paid,
until the Parachute Value of all Payments paid to the Executive, in the
aggregate, equals the Safe Harbor Amount, and (b) if the reduction of the cash
portions of the Payments, payable under this Agreement, to zero would not be
sufficient to reduce the Parachute Value of all Payments to the Safe Harbor
Amount, then any cash portions of the Payments payable to the Executive under
any other agreements, policies, plans, programs or arrangements shall be
reduced, in the order in which they are due to be paid, until the Parachute
Value of all Payments paid to the Executive, in the aggregate, equals the Safe
Harbor Amount, and (c) if the reduction of all cash portions of the Payments,
payable pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, to zero would not be sufficient
to reduce the Parachute Value of all Payments to the Safe Harbor Amount, then
non-cash portions of the Payments shall be reduced, in the order in which they
are due to be paid, until the Parachute Value of all Payments paid to the
Executive, in the aggregate, equals the Safe Harbor Amount. All calculations
under this section shall be determined by the Company and the Company’s outside
auditors.
8.    Expenses. In addition to all other amounts payable to the Executive under
this Agreement, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of twenty
(20) years following the Qualifying Event, the Company shall pay or reimburse
the Executive for legal fees (including, without limitation, any and all court
costs and attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Executive in connection
with or as a result of any claim, action or proceeding brought by the Company or
the Executive with respect to or arising out of this Agreement or any provision
hereof; provided, however, that in the case of an action brought by the
Executive, the Company shall have no obligation for any such legal fees if the
Company is successful in establishing with the court that the Executive’s action
was frivolous or otherwise without any reasonable legal or factual basis. All
such expenses shall be reimbursed by December 31 of the year following the year
in which the expense was incurred. The amount of expenses reimbursed in one year
shall not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement in any subsequent year.

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

9.    Offsets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to
the extent that the Executive receives severance or similar payments and/or
benefits under any other Company plan, program, agreement, policy, practice or
arrangement, or under the WARN Act or similar state law, the payments and
benefits due to the Executive under this Agreement will be correspondingly
reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
10.    Section 409A Delay. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, if the Company determines that the Executive is deemed at the time of
his/her Separation from Service to be a “specified employee” for purposes of
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, to the extent delayed commencement of the
payment of any portion of the amounts to which the Executive is entitled under
this Agreement is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then such portion shall not be provided to
the Executive prior to the earlier of (a) the expiration of the six-month period
measured from the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service or (b) the
date of the Executive’s death. Upon the expiration of the applicable deferral
period under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, all payments deferred
pursuant to this Section 10 shall be paid in a lump sum to the Executive, plus
interest thereon from the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service
through the payment date at a rate equal to the prime rate of interest as
reported in the Wall Street Journal from time to time. Any remaining payments
due under this Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein.
11.    Obligations Absolute; Non-Exclusivity of Rights; Joint and Several
Liability.
(a)    The obligations of the Company to make the payment to the Executive and
to make the arrangements provided for herein shall be absolute and unconditional
and, except as provided in Section 7 or 9, shall not be reduced by any
circumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which the Company may have against the
Executive or any third party at any time.
(b)    Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s
continuing or future participation in any benefit, bonus, incentive or other
plan or program provided by the Company or any other Employer and for which the
Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or reduce such rights as
the Executive may have under any agreements with the Company or any other
Employer.
(c)    Each entity included in the definition of “Employer” and any successors
or assigns shall be jointly and severally liable with the Company under this
Agreement.

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

12.    Not an Employment Agreement; Effect on Other Rights.
(a)    This Agreement is not, and nothing herein shall be deemed to create, a
contract of employment between the Executive and the Company. Any Employer may
terminate the employment of the Executive at any time, subject to the terms of
this Agreement and/or any employment agreement or arrangement between an
Employer and the Executive that may then be in effect.
(b)    With respect to any employment agreement with the Executive in effect
immediately prior to a Change in Control, nothing herein shall have any effect
on the Executive’s rights thereunder; provided, however, that in the event of
the Executive’s termination of employment in accordance with Section 3(b)
hereof, this Agreement shall govern solely for the purpose of providing the
terms of all payments and additional benefits to which the Executive is entitled
upon such termination and any payments or benefits provided under any employment
agreement with the Executive in effect immediately prior to the Change in
Control shall reduce the corresponding type of payments or benefits hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Executive’s employment is
terminated prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control under the
circumstances provided for in Section 3(b)(ii) and such circumstances also
entitle the Executive to payments and benefits under any other employment or
other agreement as in effect prior to the Change in Control (and “Other
Agreement”), then, until the Change in Control occurs, the Executive will
receive the payments and benefits to which he is entitled under such Other
Agreement. Upon the occurrence of the Change in Control, the Company will pay to
the Executive in cash the amount to which he is entitled under this Agreement
(reduced by the amounts already paid under the Other Agreement) in respect of
cash payments and shall provide or increase any other noncash benefits to those
provided for hereunder (after taking into account noncash benefits, if any,
provided under such Other Agreement). Amounts which are vested benefits or which
the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan or program of the
Company or any other Employer shall be payable in accordance with such plan or
program, except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.

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

13.    Successors; Binding Agreement; Assignment.
(a)    The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by
purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the
business of the Company, by agreement to expressly, absolutely and
unconditionally assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner
and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no
such succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such agreement
prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a material breach of
this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to terminate the Executive’s
employment with the Company or such successor for Good Reason immediately prior
to or at any time after such succession. Upon and following the assumption of
this Agreement by a successor, “Company,” as used in this Agreement, shall mean
(i) the Company (as defined above), and (ii) any successor to all the stock of
the Company or to all or substantially all of the Company’s business or assets
which executes and delivers an agreement provided for in this Section 13(a) or
which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement
by operation of law, including any parent or subsidiary of such a successor.
(b)    This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators,
successors, heirs, distributes, devisees and legatees. If the Executive should
die while any amount would be payable to the Executive hereunder if the
Executive had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided
herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the
Executive’s estate or designated beneficiary. Neither this Agreement nor any
right arising hereunder may be assigned or pledged by the Executive.
14.    Notice. For purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other
communications provided for in this Agreement or contemplated hereby shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered,
delivered by a nationally-recognized overnight delivery service or when mailed
United States certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage
prepaid, and addressed, in the case of the Company, to the Company at:
Hubbell Incorporated

the execution page at the end hereof.
Either party may designate a different address by giving notice of change of
address in the manner provided above, except that notices of change of address
shall be effective only upon receipt.

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

15.    Restrictive Covenants; Confidentiality.
(a)    All payments and benefits provided under Section 4 are conditioned on and
subject to the Executive’s continuing compliance with this Agreement and any
other agreements regarding non-competition and non-solicitation of employees and
customers.
(b)    The Executive shall retain in confidence any and all confidential
information concerning the Company and its respective business which is now
known or hereafter becomes known to the Executive, except as otherwise required
by law and except information (i) ascertainable and easily obtained from public
information, (ii) received by the Executive at any time after the Executive’s
employment by the Company shall have terminated, from a third party not employed
by or otherwise affiliated with the Company, or (iii) which is or becomes known
to the public by any means other than a breach of this Section 15(b). Upon the
termination of his/her employment, the Executive will not take or keep any
proprietary or confidential information or documentation belonging to the
Company.
16.    Entire Agreement; Amendments; No Waiver.
(a)    This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties with
respect to the subject matter described herein, and no agreements or
representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the
subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not expressly set
forth in this Agreement. The Executive represents and agrees that this Agreement
supersedes the Prior Agreement, which shall no longer be in force or have any
effect.
(b)    No provision of this Agreement may be amended, altered, modified, waived
or discharged unless such amendment, alteration, modification, waiver or
discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive and such officer
of the Company as shall be specifically designated by the Board.
(c)    No waiver by either party, at any time, of any breach by the other party
of, or of compliance by the other party with, any condition or provision of this
Agreement to be performed or complied with by such other party shall be deemed a
waiver of any similar or dissimilar provision or condition of this Agreement or
any other breach of or failure to comply with the same condition or provision at
the same time or at any prior or subsequent time.
17.    Severability. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement
shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be
affected thereby. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto
waives such provision of law which renders any provision of this Agreement
invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

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

18.    Governing Law; Venue. The validity, interpretation, construction and
performance of this Agreement shall be governed on a non-exclusive basis by the
laws of the State of Connecticut without giving effect to its conflict of laws
rules. For purposes of jurisdiction and venue, the Company and each Employer
hereby consents to jurisdiction and venue in any suit, action or proceeding with
respect to this Agreement in any court of competent jurisdiction in the state in
which the Executive resides at the commencement of such suit, action or
proceeding and waives any objection, challenge or dispute as to such
jurisdiction or venue being proper.
19.    Section 409A Compliance. To the extent applicable, this Agreement shall
be interpreted in accordance with, and incorporate the terms and conditions
required by, Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, in the event that the Company determines that any compensation or
benefits payable under this Agreement will be immediately taxable to the
Executive under Section 409A, the Company reserves the right (without any
obligation to do so or to indemnify the Executive for failure to do so) to (a)
adopt such amendments to this Agreement and appropriate policies and procedures,
including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect, that the
Company determines to be necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax
treatment of the benefits provided by this Agreement, to preserve the economic
benefits of this Agreement and to avoid less favorable accounting or tax
consequences for the Company and/or (b) take such other actions as the Company
determines to be necessary or appropriate to exempt the amounts payable
hereunder from Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A
and thereby avoid the application of penalty taxes thereunder. No provision of
this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to transfer any liability for
failure to comply with Section 409A from the Executive or any other individual
to the Company or any of its affiliates, employees or agents.
20.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall be
deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
