KAMAN CORPORATION
AMENDED AND RESTATED CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT is made effective April 20, 2016 (the "Effective Date"), by and
between Kaman Corporation, a Connecticut corporation (the "Company"), and [NAME]
(the "Executive").
WHEREAS, the Executive serves as [POSITION] of the Company; and
WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive previously entered into a Change in
Control Agreement, effective as of [DATE] (the "Prior CIC Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive wish to amend and restate the terms of
the Prior CIC Agreement and to supersede the Prior CIC Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein
contained, the Company and the Executive hereby agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms.  Definitions of capitalized terms used in this Agreement are
provided in the last Section of this Agreement.
2. Term.  This Agreement shall terminate on the fifth anniversary of the
Effective Date. The term of this Agreement shall be automatically extended
thereafter for successive one (1) year periods unless, at least nine (9) months
prior to the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date or the then current
succeeding one-year extended term of this Agreement, the Company or Executive
has notified the other that the term hereunder shall expire at the end of the
then-current term.  No notice of non-renewal may be delivered by the Company
during a Potential Change in Control Period.  In addition, the term of this
Agreement shall not expire before the second anniversary of a Change in Control
that occurs within the term of this Agreement.  The initial term of this
Agreement, as it may be extended under this Section 2, is herein referred to as
the "Term."
3. Company's Covenants Summarized.  In order to induce the Executive to remain
in the employ of the Company and in consideration of the Executive's continued
employment, the Company agrees, under the conditions described herein, to pay
the Executive the Severance Payments and the other payments and benefits
described in this Agreement.  Except as provided in Section 5.1 of this
Agreement, no Severance Payments (as defined in Section 5) shall be payable
under this Agreement unless there shall have been a termination of the
Executive's employment with the Company upon or following a Change in Control. 
This Agreement shall not be construed as creating an express or implied contract
of employment and, except as otherwise agreed in writing between the Executive
and the Company, the Executive shall not have any right to be retained in the
employ of the Company.
4. Compensation Other Than Severance Payments.
4.1 If the Executive's employment shall be terminated for any reason following a
Change in Control, the Company shall pay the Executive's full salary to the
Executive through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect immediately
prior to the Date of Termination or, if Section 18(n)(ii) is applicable as an
event or circumstance constituting Good Reason, the rate in effect immediately
prior to such event or circumstance, together with all compensation and benefits
payable to the Executive through the Date of Termination under the terms of the
Company's compensation and benefit plans, programs or arrangements as in effect
immediately prior to the Date of Termination (or, if more favorable to the
Executive, as in effect immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or
circumstance constituting Good Reason).  In addition, if the Executive's
employment is terminated for any reason following a Change in Control other than
(a) by the Company for Cause or (b) by the Executive without Good Reason, then
the Company shall pay a pro-rata portion of the Executive's annual bonus for the
performance year in which such termination occurs to the Executive.  This
pro-rata bonus shall be determined by multiplying the amount the Executive would
have received if the applicable performance goals were achieved at the target
level of performance by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days
during such performance year that the Executive is employed by the Company and
the denominator of which is 365 and shall be paid at the time described in
Section 5.4.

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

4.2 If the Executive's employment shall be terminated for any reason following a
Change in Control, the Company shall pay to the Executive the Executive's normal
post-termination compensation and benefits as such payments become due.  Such
post-termination compensation and benefits shall be determined under, and paid
in accordance with, the Company's retirement, insurance and other compensation
or benefit plans, programs and arrangements as in effect immediately prior to
the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect
immediately prior to the occurrence of the first event or circumstance
constituting Good Reason.
5. Severance Payments.
5.1 If the Executive's employment is terminated during the twenty-four (24)
month period immediately following a Change in Control, other than (A) by the
Company for Cause, (B) by reason of death or Disability, or (C) by the Executive
without Good Reason, then the Company shall pay the Executive the amounts and
provide the Executive the benefits described in this Section 5 (collectively,
the "Severance Payments") in addition to any payments and benefits to which the
Executive is entitled under Section 4 of this Agreement.  For purposes of this
Agreement, the Executive's employment shall be deemed to have been terminated
within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control and during the Term
by the Company without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason if (i) the
Executive's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause during a
Potential Change in Control Period, or (ii) the Executive terminates the
Executive's employment for Good Reason during a Potential Change in Control
Period.  In the event that the Executive's employment is terminated in the
manner described in the preceding sentence during a Potential Change in Control
Period, a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred immediately
preceding such termination for purposes of Section 5.1(c) hereof, except with
respect to equity awards (other than stock options and stock appreciation
rights) held by the Executive which are intended to constitute qualified
performance based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code and
the regulations promulgated thereunder.
(a)
In lieu of any further salary payments to the Executive for periods subsequent
to the Date of Termination and in lieu of any severance benefit otherwise
payable to the Executive, the Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum
severance payment, in cash, equal to the sum of (i) ____(__) times the
Executive's base salary as in effect immediately prior to the Date of
Termination or, if Section 18(n)(ii) is applicable as an event or circumstance
constituting Good Reason, the rate in effect immediately prior to such event or
circumstance, and (ii) ____ (__) times the Executive's target annual bonus as in
effect immediately preceding the Date of Termination, pursuant to any annual
bonus or incentive plan maintained by the Company (or, if greater, the target
annual bonus in effect prior to an event of Good Reason under clause (v) of such
definition).

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

(b)
For the twenty-four (24) month period immediately following the Date of
Termination, the Company shall arrange to provide the Executive and his
dependents medical, dental and accidental death and dismemberment benefits on a
monthly basis that is substantially similar to such benefits as provided to the
Executive and the Executive's dependents immediately prior to the Date of
Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, those provided to the
Executive and his dependents immediately prior to the first occurrence of an
event or circumstance constituting Good Reason, at no greater cost to the
Executive than the cost to the Executive immediately prior to such date or
occurrence.  The parties intend that the first eighteen (18) months of continued
medical and dental coverage shall not constitute a "deferral of compensation"
under Treas. Reg. Sect. 1.409A-1(b), and that continued accidental death and
dismemberment benefits hereunder shall qualify as a "limited payment" of an "in
kind" benefit under Treas. Reg. Sect. 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(C) and (D).  Any portion
of the continued medical, dental and accidental death and dismemberment coverage
under this Section 5.1(b) that is subject to Section 409A is intended to qualify
as a "reimbursement or in-kind benefit plan" under Treas. Reg. Sect.
1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv).  Benefits otherwise receivable by the Executive pursuant to
this Section 5.1(b) shall be reduced to the extent benefits of the same type are
received by or made available by a subsequent employer to the Executive during
the twenty-four (24) month period following the Date of Termination (and any
such benefits received by or made available to the Executive shall be reported
to the Company by the Executive); provided, however, that the Company shall
reimburse the Executive for the excess, if any, of the cost of such benefits to
the Executive over such cost immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if
more favorable to the Executive, the first occurrence of an event or
circumstance constituting Good Reason.  Any such reimbursement under this
Section 5.1(b) shall be made promptly in accordance with Company policy, but in
any event on or before the last day of the Executive's taxable year following
the taxable year in which the expense or cost was incurred.  In no event shall
the amount that the Company pays for any such benefit in any one (1) year affect
the amount that it will pay in any other year and in no event shall the benefits
described in this paragraph be subject to liquidation or exchange.

3

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

(c)
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any plan or agreement
maintained by or through the Company pursuant to which the Executive has been
granted restricted stock, stock options, stock appreciation rights or cash or
equity or equity-based long-term performance awards (but subject to the terms of
this Agreement), effective on the Date of Termination (i) all service- and
performance-based restrictions with respect to any then unvested restricted
stock or restricted stock units shall lapse (at the target level of performance,
where applicable), (ii) all stock appreciation rights and stock options shall be
deemed fully vested and then canceled in exchange for a cash payment equal to
the excess of the fair market value of the shares of Company stock subject to
the stock appreciation right or stock option on the Date of Termination, over
the exercise price(s) of such stock appreciation rights or stock options, and
(iii) all unvested cash long-term performance awards (each, an "LTIP Award")
shall vest and be payable at the target level of performance and the actual
amount that the Executive shall receive with respect to any such award will be
determined by multiplying the amount the Executive would have received based
upon such target level of performance for the entire period by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of days the Executive remained employed with
the Company during such award's performance period and the denominator of which
is the total number of days during such award's performance period.

(d)
If the Executive would have become entitled to benefits under the Company's
post-retirement health care plans, as in effect immediately prior to the Date of
Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect immediately
prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good
Reason, had the Executive's employment terminated at any time during the period
of twenty-four (24) months after the Date of Termination, the Company shall
provide such post-retirement health care benefits to the Executive and the
Executive's dependents commencing on the later of (i) the date on which such
coverage would have first become available and (ii) the date on which the
benefits described in Section 5.1(b) terminate.

(e)
The Company (i) shall establish an irrevocable grantor trust holding an amount
of assets sufficient to pay all remaining premiums (which trust shall be
required to pay such premiums), under any insurance policy maintained by the
Company insuring the life of the Executive, that is in effect and (ii) shall
transfer to the Executive any and all rights and incidents of ownership in such
arrangements at no cost to the Executive.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no
event shall the Company establish or fund any such rabbi trust in a manner or on
terms that would result in the imposition of any tax, penalty or interest upon
the Executive under Section 409A(b)(1) of the Code, and in no event shall the
Company be obligated to, nor shall it, fund any such rabbi trust "in connection
with a change in the employer's financial health" within the meaning of Section
409A(b)(2) of the Code.  In the event that one or more premiums become due and
payable during the six (6) month period beginning on the Executive's employment
termination, the Company shall timely notify the Executive so that any such
premium payment can be made by the Executive directly to the insurance carrier. 
At the end of such six (6) month period, the Company shall reimburse the
Executive for all such premiums paid by the Executive, with interest at the
applicable federal rate under Section 1274 of the Code, determined as of the
Date of Termination.

4

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

(f)
The Company shall provide the Executive with reimbursement for up to Thirty
Thousand Dollars ($30,000) in the aggregate for outplacement services,
relocation costs, or both; provided, however, that reimbursement shall only be
provided until the earlier of the first anniversary of the Date of Termination
or the Executive's first day of employment with a new employer.  It is intended
that reimbursements under this Section 5.1(f) shall not constitute a "deferral
of compensation" for purposes of Section 409A of the Code pursuant to Treas.
Reg. Sect. 1.409A-1(a)(9)(v)(A) and (C).

5.2 Section 4999 Excise Tax.
The Executive shall bear all expense of, and be solely responsible for, all
federal, state, local or foreign taxes due with respect to any payment received
under the Agreement, including, without limitation, any excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Code (the "Excise Tax"); provided, however, that any payment
or benefit received or to be received by the Executive in connection with a
Change in Control or the termination of employment (whether payable under the
terms of the Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the
Company or an affiliate (collectively, the "Payments") that would constitute a
"parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, shall be
reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion thereof shall be subject to
the Excise Tax but only if, by reason of such reduction, the net after-tax
benefit received by the Executive shall exceed the net after-tax benefit that
would be received by the Executive if no such reduction was made.  For purposes
of this Section 5.2:
(a)
The "net after-tax benefit" shall mean (i) the Payments which the Executive
receives or is then entitled to receive from the Company or its affiliates that
would constitute "parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the
Code, less (ii) the amount of all federal, state and local income and employment
taxes payable by the Executive with respect to the foregoing calculated at the
highest marginal income tax rate for each year in which the foregoing shall be
paid to the Executive (based on the rate in effect for such year as set forth in
the Code as in effect at the time of the first payment of the foregoing), less
(iii) the amount of Excise Tax imposed with respect to the payments and benefits
described in (i) above.

(b)
All determinations under this Section 5.2 will be made by an accounting firm or
law firm that is selected for this purpose by the Company's Chief Executive
Officer prior to the Change in Control (the "280G Firm").  All fees and expenses
of the 280G Firm shall be borne by the Company.  The Company will direct the
280G Firm to submit any determination it makes under this Section 5.2 and
detailed supporting calculations to the Executive and the Company as soon as
reasonably practicable.

5

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

(c)
If the 280G Firm determines that one or more reductions are required under this
Section 5.2, the 280G Firm shall also determine which Payments shall be reduced,
and the Company shall pay such reduced amount to the Executive.  The 280G Firm
shall make reductions required under this Section 5.2 in a manner that maximizes
the net after-tax amount payable to the Executive.   If a reduction in the
Payments is required under this Section 5.2(c), the Payments shall be reduced in
the following order: (A) reduction of any cash payment (excluding any cash
payment with respect to the acceleration of equity awards) that is otherwise
payable to the Executive that is exempt from Section 409A of the Code; (B)
reduction of any other payments or benefits otherwise payable to the Executive
(other than those described in clause (C) below) on a pro-rata basis or such
other manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code; and (C) reduction of
any payment or benefit with respect to the acceleration of equity awards that is
otherwise payable to the Executive (on a pro-rata basis as between equity awards
that are covered by Section 409A of the Code and those that are not (or such
other manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code)).

(d)
As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 280G at the time
that the 280G Firm makes its determinations under this Section 5.2, it is
possible that amounts will have been paid or distributed to the Executive that
should not have been paid or distributed (collectively, the "Overpayments"), or
that additional amounts should be paid or distributed to the Executive
(collectively, the "Underpayments").  If the 280G Firm determines, based on
either the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against the
Company or the Executive, which assertion the 280G Firm believes has a high
probability of success, or controlling precedent or substantial authority, that
an Overpayment has been made, the Executive must repay the Overpayment to the
Company, without interest; provided, however, that no loan will be deemed to
have been made and no amount will be payable by the Executive to the Company
unless, and then only to the extent that, the deemed loan and payment would
either reduce the amount on which the Executive is subject to tax under Section
4999 of the Code or generate a refund of tax imposed under Section 4999 of the
Code.  If the 280G Firm determines, based upon controlling precedent or
substantial authority, that an Underpayment has occurred, the 280G Firm will
notify the Executive and the Company of that determination and the amount of
that Underpayment will be paid to the Executive promptly by the Company.

(e)
The parties will provide the 280G Firm access to and copies of any books,
records and documents in their possession as reasonably requested by the 280G
Firm, and otherwise cooperate with the 280G Firm in connection with the
preparation and issuance of the determinations and calculations contemplated by
this Section 5.2.

5.3 The Company also shall reimburse the Executive for legal fees and expenses
incurred by the Executive in disputing in good faith any issue hereunder
relating to the termination of the Executive's employment or in seeking in good
faith to obtain or enforce any benefit or right provided by this Agreement. 
Such payments shall be made within ten (10) business days after delivery of the
Executive's written request for payment accompanied with such evidence of fees
and expenses incurred as the Company reasonably may require.  Any such
reimbursement under this Section 5.3 shall be made promptly in accordance with
Company policy, but in any event on or before the last day of the Executive's
taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense or cost was
incurred.
6

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

5.4 The Company shall pay the pro-rata bonus described in Section 4.1 and the
cash amounts described in this Section 5 and shall provide the benefits
described in this Section 5 to the Executive on the first business day after the
effectiveness of the General Release described in Section 11(b), subject to the
provisions of Section 15 with respect to compliance with Section 409A of the
Code.  Any cash amounts the payment of which is subject to delay pursuant to the
operation of Section 15 shall be paid with interest at the applicable federal
rate under Section 1274 of the Code determined as of the Date of Termination. 
If payments are not made in the time frame required by this Section 5.4,
interest on the unpaid amounts will accrue at 120% of the rate provided in
Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code determined as of the first day following the
time frame provided for herein until the date such payments are actually made. 
At the time that payments are made under this Agreement, the Company shall
provide the Executive with a written statement setting forth the manner in which
such payments were calculated and the basis for such calculations including,
without limitation, any opinions or other advice the Company has received from
the 280G Firm or other advisors (and any such opinions or advice which are in
writing shall be attached to the statement).
5.5 Severance Payments In Lieu of Other Severance Benefits.
Severance Payments made under this Section 5 shall be in lieu of any severance
benefit otherwise payable to the Executive.
6. Termination Procedures and Compensation During Dispute.
6.1 Notice of Termination.  After a Change in Control, any purported termination
of the Executive's employment (other than by reason of death) shall be
communicated by written Notice of Termination from one party hereto to the other
party hereto in accordance with Section 9 of this Agreement.  For purposes of
this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a 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
provide a basis for termination of the Executive's employment under the
provision so indicated.  Further, a Notice of Termination for Cause is required
to include a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not
less than three-quarters (3/4) of the entire membership of the Board at a
meeting of the Board which was called and held for the purpose of considering
such termination (after reasonable notice to the Executive and an opportunity
for the Executive, together with the Executive's counsel, to be heard before the
Board) finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Executive was
guilty of conduct set forth in clause (i) or (ii) of the definition of Cause
herein, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.
6.2 Date of Termination.  "Date of Termination," with respect to any purported
termination of the Executive's employment after a Change in Control, shall mean
(i) if the Executive's employment is terminated for Disability, thirty (30) days
after Notice of Termination is given (provided that the Executive shall not have
returned to the full-time performance of the Executive's duties during such
thirty (30) day period), and (ii) if the Executive's employment is terminated
for any other reason, the date specified in the Notice of Termination (which, in
the case of a termination by the Company, shall not be less than thirty (30)
days (except in the case of a termination for Cause) and, in the case of a
termination by the Executive, shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more
than sixty (60) days, respectively, from the date such Notice of Termination is
given).
7

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

6.3 Dispute Concerning Termination.  If within fifteen (15) days after any
Notice of Termination is given, or, if later, prior to the Date of Termination
(as determined without regard to this Section 6.3), the party receiving such
Notice of Termination notifies the other party that a dispute exists concerning
the termination, the Date of Termination shall be extended until the date on
which the dispute is finally resolved, either by mutual written agreement of the
parties or by a final judgment, order or decree of an arbitrator or a court of
competent jurisdiction (which is not appealable or with respect to which the
time for appeal therefrom has expired and no appeal has been perfected);
provided, however, that the Date of Termination shall be extended by a notice of
dispute given by the Executive only if such notice is given in good faith and
the Executive pursues the resolution of such dispute with reasonable diligence.
6.4 Compensation During Dispute.  If a purported termination occurs following a
Change in Control and the Date of Termination is extended in accordance with
Section 6.3 of this Agreement, the Company shall continue to pay the Executive
the full compensation in effect when the notice giving rise to the dispute was
given (including, but not limited to, salary) and continue the Executive as a
participant in all compensation, benefit and insurance plans in which the
Executive was participating when the notice giving rise to the dispute was
given, until the Date of Termination, as determined in accordance with Section
6.3 of this Agreement.  Amounts paid under this Section 6.4 are in addition to
all other amounts due under this Agreement (other than those due under Section
4.1 of this Agreement) and shall not be offset against or reduce any other
amounts due under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
Section 6.3 and this Section 6.4, if the Company, after delivery of a Notice of
Termination, promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days) determines that
grounds existed prior to the delivery of the Notice of Termination to terminate
the Executive's employment for Cause after complying with the procedural
requirements of this Agreement, the Company shall have the right to recover any
payments that have been made to the Executive or on the Executive's behalf under
this Agreement including but not limited to offset against or reduction of any
amounts due under this Agreement or otherwise.
7. No Mitigation.  The Company agrees that under this Agreement, if the
Executive's employment with the Company terminates, the Executive is not
required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts
payable to the Executive by the Company pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement
or Section 6.4 of this Agreement.  Further, the amount of any payment or benefit
provided for in this Agreement (other than as specifically provided in Section
5.1(b) of this Agreement) shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the
Executive as the result of employment by another employer, by retirement
benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by the Executive to
the Company, or otherwise.
8. Successors; Binding Agreement.
8.1 In addition to any obligations imposed by law upon any successor to the
Company, 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/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform
this Agreement in accordance with its terms.
8

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

8.2 This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Executive's personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators,
successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.  If the Executive shall
die while any amount would still be payable to the Executive hereunder (other
than amounts which, by their terms, terminate upon the death of the Executive)
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 executors, personal representatives or administrators of the Executive's
estate.
9. Notice.  For the purpose of this Agreement, notices and all other
communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been duly given (a) on the date of delivery if delivered by hand,
(b) on the date of transmission, if delivered by confirmed facsimile, (c) on the
first business day following the date of deposit if delivered by guaranteed
overnight delivery service, or (d) on the fourth business day following the date
delivered or mailed by United States registered or certified mail, return
receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:
If to the Executive: at the address (or to the facsimile number) shown on the
records of the Company.
If to the Company: Kaman Corporation, 1332 Blue Hills Avenue, P.O. Box 1,
Bloomfield, CT 06002 Attention: Chief Executive Officer (Facsimile No.: 860
243-7397), or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the
other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notices of change of
address shall be effective only upon receipt.
10. Obligations after the Date of Termination.
(a)
Confidentiality.  The Executive agrees that the Executive shall not, directly or
indirectly, use, make available, sell, disclose or otherwise communicate to any
person, other than in the course of the Executive's employment and for the
benefit of the Company, at any time following the Date of Termination, any
nonpublic, proprietary or confidential information, knowledge or data relating
to the Company, any of its subsidiaries, affiliated companies or businesses,
which shall have been obtained by the Executive during the Executive's
employment by the Company.  The foregoing shall not apply to information that
(i) was known to the public prior to its disclosure to the Executive, (ii)
becomes known to the public subsequent to disclosure to the Executive through no
wrongful act of the Executive or any representative of the Executive, or (iii)
the Executive is required to disclose by applicable law, regulation or legal
process (provided that the Executive provides the Company with prior notice of
the contemplated disclosure and reasonably cooperates with the Company at its
expense in seeking a protective order or other appropriate protection of such
information).  Notwithstanding clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence,
the Executive's obligation to maintain such disclosed information in confidence
shall not terminate where only portions of the information are in the public
domain.

9

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

(b)
Non-Solicitation.  In the event that the Executive is entitled to receive
Severance Payments under Section 5 of this Agreement, the Executive agrees that
for the two (2) year period following the Date of Termination, the Executive
will not, directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any other person,
firm, corporation or other entity, knowingly solicit, aid or induce any
managerial level employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates to leave such employment in order to accept employment with or render
services to or with any other person, firm, corporation or other entity
unaffiliated with the Company or knowingly take any action to materially assist
or aid any other person, firm, corporation or other entity in identifying or
hiring any such employee (provided that the foregoing shall not be violated by
general advertising not targeted at Company employees nor by serving as a
reference for an employee with regard to an entity with which the Executive is
not affiliated).  For the avoidance of doubt, if a managerial level employee on
his or her own initiative contacts the Executive for the primary purpose of
securing alternative employment, any action taken by the Executive thereafter
shall not be deemed a breach of this Section 10(b).

(c)
Non-Competition.  The Executive acknowledges that the Executive performs
services of a unique nature for the Company that are irreplaceable and that the
Executive's performance of such services to a competing business will result in
irreparable harm to the Company.  Accordingly, in the event that the Executive
is entitled to receive Severance Payments described in Section 5 of this
Agreement, the Executive agrees that for a period of two (2) years following the
Date of Termination, the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, become
connected with, promote the interest of, or engage in any other business or
activity competing with the business of the Company within the geographical area
in which the business of the Company is conducted.

(d)
Non-Disparagement.  Each of the Executive and the Company (for purposes hereof,
"the Company" shall mean only (i) the Company by press release or otherwise and
(ii) the executive officers and directors thereof and not any other employees)
agrees not to make any public statements that disparage the other party, or in
the case of the Company, its respective affiliates, officers, directors,
products or services.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, statements made in the
course of sworn testimony in administrative, judicial or arbitral proceedings
(including, without limitation, depositions in connection with such proceedings)
or otherwise as required by law shall not be subject to this Section 10(d).

(e)
Return of Company Property and Records.  The Executive agrees that upon
termination of the Executive's employment, for any cause whatsoever, the
Executive will surrender to the Company in good condition (reasonable wear and
tear excepted) all property and equipment belonging to the Company and all
records kept by the Executive containing the names, addresses or any other
information with regard to customers or customer contacts of the Company, or
concerning any proprietary or confidential information of the Company or any
operational, financial or other documents given to the Executive during the
Executive's employment with the Company.

10

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

(f)
Cooperation.  The Executive agrees that, following termination of the
Executive's employment for any reason, the Executive shall upon reasonable
advance notice, and to the extent it does not interfere with previously
scheduled travel plans and does not unreasonably interfere with other business
activities or employment obligations, assist and cooperate with the Company with
regard to any matter or project in which the Executive was involved during the
Executive's employment, including any litigation.  The Company shall compensate
the Executive for any lost wages (or, if the Executive is not then employed,
provide reasonable compensation as determined by the Compensation Committee) and
expenses associated with such cooperation and assistance.

(g)
Assignment of Inventions.  The Executive will promptly communicate and disclose
in writing to the Company all inventions and developments, including software,
whether patentable or not, as well as patents and patent applications
(hereinafter collectively called "Inventions"), made, conceived, developed or
purchased by the Executive, or under which the Executive acquires the right to
grant licenses or to become licensed, alone or jointly with others, which have
arisen or which arise out of the Executive's employment with the Company, or
relate to any matters directly pertaining to the business of the Company or any
of its subsidiaries.  Included herein as if developed during the employment
period is any specialized equipment and software developed for use in the
business of the Company.  All of the Executive's right, title and interest in,
to and under all such Inventions, licenses and right to grant licenses shall be
the sole property of the Company.  As to all such Inventions, the Executive
will, upon request of the Company, (i) execute all documents which the Company
deems necessary or proper to enable it to establish title to such Inventions or
other rights, and to enable it to file and prosecute applications for letters
patent of the United States and any foreign country, and (ii) do all things
(including the giving of evidence in suits and other proceedings) which the
Company deems necessary or proper to obtain, maintain or assert patents for any
and all such Inventions or to assert its rights in any Inventions not patented.

(h)
Equitable Relief and Other Remedies.  The parties acknowledge and agree that the
other party's remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the
provisions of this Section 10 would be inadequate and, in recognition of this
fact, the parties agree that, in the event of such a breach or threatened
breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the other party, without posting any
bond, shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific
performance, temporary restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction or
any other equitable remedy which may then be available.

(i)
Reformation.  If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any
state that any restriction in this Section 10 is excessive in duration or scope
or is unreasonable or unenforceable under the laws of that state, it is the
intention of the parties that such restriction may be modified or amended by the
court to render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the law of
that state.

11

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

(j)
Survival of Provisions.  The obligations contained in this Section 10 shall
survive the termination or expiration of the Executive's employment with the
Company and shall be fully enforceable thereafter.

11. Conditions.  Any payments or benefits made or provided pursuant to this
Agreement are subject to the Executive's:
(a)
compliance with the provisions of Sections 10(a), 10(b), 10(c), 10(e) and 10(g)
hereof;

(b)
delivery to the Company of an executed Agreement and General Release (the
"General Release"), which shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as
Appendix A (with such changes therein or additions thereto as needed under then
applicable law to give effect to its intent and purpose) within twenty-one (21)
days of presentation thereof by the Company to the Executive (which presentation
shall be made by the Company no later than two (2) business days following the
Date of Termination); and

(c)
delivery to the Company of a resignation from all offices, directorships and
fiduciary positions with the Company, its affiliates and employee benefit plans
with the General Release.

If the Executive fails to return an executed General Release to the Company
within such twenty-one (21) day period, or the Executive subsequently revokes
such timely release, the Company shall not have any obligation to pay any
amounts or benefits under Section 5 of this Agreement.  The Executive shall
provide the General Release in the same manner as providing written notice to
the Company under Section 9 above.
12. Miscellaneous.  No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or
discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing
and signed by the Executive and the President of the Company or his designee. 
No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party
hereto of, or of any lack of compliance with, any condition or provision of this
Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of
similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or
subsequent time.  The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of
this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of Connecticut without regard to
its conflicts of law principles.  Any payments provided for hereunder shall be
paid net of any applicable withholding required under federal, state or local
law and any additional withholding to which the Executive has agreed.  The
obligations of the Company and the Executive under this Agreement which by their
nature may require either partial or total performance after its expiration
shall survive any such expiration.
13. Validity; Counterparts.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision
of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.  This
Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed
to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same
instrument.
12

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

14. Supersedes All Other Agreements. This Agreement supersedes any other
agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with
respect to the subject matter hereof which have been made by either party,
including the Prior CIC Agreement.
15. Section 409A. It is the intention of the Company and the Executive that this
Agreement not result in taxation of the Executive under Section 409A of the Code
and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder and that the Agreement
shall be construed and administered in accordance with such intention. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall in no event be obligated to
indemnify the Executive for any taxes or interest that may be assessed by the
IRS pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, if the Executive is a "specified employee" (within the meaning
of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code) with respect to the Company, any
amounts (or benefits) otherwise payable to or in respect of the Executive under
this Agreement pursuant to the Executive's termination of employment with the
Company shall be delayed to the extent required so that taxes are not imposed on
the Executive pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, and shall be paid upon the
earliest date permitted by Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code.  For purposes of this
Agreement, the Executive's employment with the Company, the Company and their
Affiliates will not be treated as terminated unless and until such termination
of employment constitutes a "separation from service" for purposes of Section
409A of the Code.
16. Settlement of Disputes.  All claims by the Executive for benefits under this
Agreement shall be directed to and determined by the Board and shall be in
writing.  Any denial by the Board of a claim for benefits under this Agreement
shall be delivered to the Executive in writing and shall set forth the specific
reasons for the denial and the specific provisions of this Agreement relied
upon.  The Board shall afford a reasonable opportunity to the Executive for a
review of the decision denying a claim and shall further allow the Executive to
appeal to the Board a decision of the Board within sixty (60) days after
notification by the Board that the Executive's claim has been denied.
17. Arbitration.  Any further dispute or controversy arising under or in
connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in
Hartford, Connecticut, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
Association then in effect; provided, however, that the evidentiary standards
set forth in this Agreement shall apply.  Judgment may be entered on the
arbitrator's award in any court having jurisdiction.  Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive shall be entitled to
seek specific performance of the Executive's right to be paid until the Date of
Termination during the pendency of any dispute or controversy arising under or
in connection with this Agreement.
18. Definitions.  For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have

Good Reason by the Executive pursuant to Section 6.1 of this Agreement) after a

deemed "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive not in
good faith and without reasonable belief that the Executive's act, or failure to
act, was in the best interest of the Company and (y) in the event of a dispute
concerning the application of this provision, no claim by the Company that Cause

Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the
Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose
initial assumption of office occurs as a result of either an actual or
threatened election contest, including but not limited to a consent
solicitation, relating to the election of directors of the Company and whose

into such securities of the surviving entity or any parent thereof) more than
fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding
voting securities of such entity generally entitled to vote in such entity's
