(INCORPORATES AMENDMENT DATED OCTOBER 31, 2008)

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, amended and restated as of September 7, 2006, by and between The
Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Ramani Ayer
(“Executive”).

W
I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive entered into an Employment Agreement dated as of July 1,
1997 (the “Commencement Date”), in accordance with which Executive is performing substantial
services for the Company; and

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to amend and restate that Employment Agreement,
effective as of the date first written above;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and Executive’s
continued participation in certain incentive compensation plans pursuant to which the level, if
any, of participation is determined by the administrators of such plans, the Company and Executive
hereby agree that the Employment Agreement is amended and restated to read as follows (hereinafter
referred to in its amended form as the “Agreement”), effective as of the date first written above:

1. Employment.

(a) Agreement to Employ. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this
Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to continue to employ Executive and Executive hereby agrees
to continue his employment by the Company.

(b) Term of Employment. Except as otherwise provided below, the Company shall employ
Executive for the period commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the third anniversary
of the Commencement Date. At the expiration of the original term or any extended term (each a
“Renewal Date”), Executive’s employment hereunder shall be extended automatically, upon the same
terms and conditions, for successive one-year periods, unless either party shall give written
notice to the other of its intention not to renew such employment at least fifteen months prior
to such Renewal Date. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of
a Change of Control (as defined below), the term of this Agreement shall be extended
automatically without any action by either party until the second anniversary of such Change of
Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if not previously terminated pursuant to Sections 1(b),
5(a) or 6(a), the term of this Agreement shall terminate on the last day of the month in which
Executive attains age 65, and such a termination upon Executive reaching age 65 shall be deemed
to be a Termination Due to Retirement for purposes of this Agreement. The period during which
Executive is employed pursuant to this Agreement, including any extension thereof in accordance
with this Section 1(b), shall be referred to as the “Employment Period.”

 

 

 

2. Position and Duties.

During the Employment Period, Executive shall serve as Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company, and/or in such other position or positions with the Company or its
affiliates commensurate with his position and experience as the Board of Directors of the Company
(the “Board”) shall from time to time specify. During the Employment Period, Executive shall have
the duties, responsibilities and obligations customarily assigned to individuals serving in the
position or positions in which Executive serves hereunder and such other duties, responsibilities
and obligations as the Board shall from time to time specify. Executive shall devote his full
time to the services required of him hereunder, except for vacation time and reasonable periods of
absence due to sickness, personal injury or other disability, and shall use his best efforts,
judgement, skill and energy to perform such services in a manner consonant with the duties of his
position and to improve and advance the business and interests of the Company and its affiliates.
During the Employment Period, Executive shall comply with the Code of Conduct of the Company.
Unless and to the extent inconsistent with the terms of any published Company policy or code of
conduct as in effect on the date hereof and as hereafter amended, nothing contained herein shall
preclude Executive from (a) serving on the board of directors of any business corporation with the
consent of the Board, (b) serving on the board of, or working for, any charitable or community
organization, or (c) pursuing his personal financial and legal affairs, so long as the foregoing
activities, individually or collectively, do not interfere with the performance of Executive’s
duties hereunder or violate any of the provisions of Section 9 hereof.

3. Compensation.

(a) Base Salary. During the Employment Period, the Company shall pay Executive a base
salary at
the annual rate as in effect on the date hereof. The annual base salary payable under this
paragraph
shall be reduced, however, to the extent that Executive elects to defer such salary under the
terms of
any deferred compensation or savings plan or arrangement maintained or established by the
Company or its affiliates. The Board or the appropriate committee of the Board may in its
discretion
periodically review Executive’s base salary in light of competitive practices, the base salaries
paid to
other executive officers of the Company and the performance of Executive and the Company and its
applicable affiliates, and may, in its discretion, increase such base salary by an amount it
determines
to be appropriate. Any such increase shall not reduce or limit any other obligation of the
Company
hereunder. Executive’s base salary (as set forth above or as may be increased from time to
time)
shall not be reduced following any Change of Control, but may be reduced prior to a Change of
Control solely pursuant to a cost-saving plan or structural realignment of total compensation
elements that includes all senior executives and only to the extent that such reduction is
proportionate to the reductions applicable to other senior executives. Executive’s annual base
salary payable hereunder, as it may be increased or reduced from time to time as provided herein
and without reduction for any amounts deferred as described above, shall be referred to herein
as “Base Salary.” The Company shall pay Executive the portion of his Base Salary not deferred
not less frequently than in equal monthly installments.

 

2

 

 (b) Annual Bonus. For each calendar year ending during the Employment Period,
Executive shall
have the opportunity to earn and receive an annual bonus, based on the achievement of target
levels

of performance, equal to the percentage of his Base Salary used to calculate such annual bonus
as of the date hereof. Executive’s annual bonus opportunity may be increased above such
percentage from time to time by the Board or the appropriate committee thereof. Executive’s
annual bonus opportunity shall not be reduced following any Change of Control, but may be
reduced prior to a Change of Control solely pursuant to a cost-saving plan or structural
realignment of total compensation elements that includes all senior executives and only to the
extent that such reduction is proportionate to the reductions applicable to other senior
executives. Executive’s annual bonus opportunity, as it may be increased or reduced from time to
time as provided herein, shall be referred to herein as “Target Bonus.” The actual bonus, if
any, payable for any such year shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the Company’s
Annual Executive Bonus Program or any successor annual incentive plan (the “Annual Plan”) based
upon the performance of the Company and/or its applicable affiliates and/or Executive against
target objectives established under such Annual Plan. Subject to Executive’s election to defer
all or a portion of any annual bonus payable hereunder pursuant to the terms of any deferred
compensation or savings plan or arrangement maintained or established by the Company or its
affiliates, any annual bonus payable under this Section 3(b) shall be paid to Executive in
accordance with the terms of the Annual Plan.

(c) Long-term Incentive Compensation. During the Employment Period, Executive shall
participate in all of the Company’s existing and future long-term incentive compensation
programs for key executives at a level commensurate with his position with the Company and
consistent with the Company’s then current policies and practices, as determined in good faith
by the Board or the appropriate committee of the Board.

4. Benefits, Perquisites and Expenses.

(a) Benefits. During the Employment Period, Executive (and, to the extent applicable,
his dependents) shall be eligible to participate in or be covered under (i) each welfare benefit
plan or program maintained or as hereafter amended or established by the Company or its
applicable affiliates, including, without limitation, each group life, hospitalization, medical,
dental, health, accident or disability insurance or similar plan or program of thereof, and (ii)
each pension, retirement, savings, deferred compensation, stock purchase or other similar plan
or program maintained or as hereafter amended or established by the Company or its applicable
affiliates, in each case to the extent that Executive is eligible to participate in any such
plan or program under the generally applicable provisions thereof. Nothing in this Section
4(a) shall limit the Company’s right to amend or terminate any such plan or program in
accordance with the procedures set forth therein or as permitted by applicable law.

(b) Perquisites. For each calendar year during the Employment Period, Executive shall
be entitled to at least the number of paid vacation days per year that Executive is entitled to
as of the date hereof, and shall also be entitled to receive such other perquisites as are
generally provided to him as of the date hereof or are hereafter provided to other similarly
situated senior executives of the Company in accordance with the then current policies and
practices of the Company.

 

3

 

(c) Business Expenses. During the Employment Period, the Company shall pay or
reimburse Executive for all reasonable business expenses incurred or paid by Executive in
the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder, upon presentation of expense statements
or vouchers and such other information as the Company may require and in accordance with
the generally applicable policies and procedures of the Company.

(d) Office and Support Staff. During the Employment Period, Executive shall be
entitled to an office with furnishings and other material appointments, and to
secretarial and other assistance, at a level that is at least commensurate with the
foregoing provided to him as of the date hereof or is hereafter provided to other
similarly situated senior executives of the Company.

(e) Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify Executive and hold Executive harmless
from and against any claim, loss or cause of action, regardless whether asserted during or after
the Employment Period, arising from or out of Executive’s performance as an officer, director or
employee of the Company or any of its affiliates or in any other capacity, including any
fiduciary capacity in which Executive serves at the request of the Company, to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law and under the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the

Company, as may be amended from time to time (the “Governing Documents”), provided
that in no event shall the protection afforded to Executive be less than that
afforded under the Governing Documents as in effect on the Commencement Date.

5. Termination of Employment.

The provisions of this Section 5 shall apply prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control
and, if Executive is still in the Company’s employ, shall again become applicable upon the
second anniversary of such Change of Control.

(a) Early Termination of the Employment Period. Notwithstanding Section
1(b) hereof, the Employment Period shall end upon the earliest to occur of (i) a
Termination For Cause, (ii) a Termination Without Cause, (iii) a Voluntary
Termination, (iv) a Termination Due to Retirement, (v) a Termination Due to
Disability, or (vi) a Termination Due to Death.

(b) Notice of Termination. Communication of termination under this
Section 5 shall be made to the other party by Notice of Termination in the case of
(i) a Termination For Cause, (ii) a Termination Without Cause, or (iii) a
Voluntary Termination.

 

4

 

(c) Benefits Payable Upon Termination; Rules for Determining Reason
for Termination.

(i) Benefits Payable Upon Termination. Following the end of the
Employment Period pursuant to Section 5(a), Executive (or, in the event of
his death, his surviving spouse, if any, or if none, his estate) shall be
paid the type or types of compensation determined to be payable in
accordance with the following table, such payment to be

made in the form specified in such table and at the time established pursuant to Section 7
hereof. Capitalized terms used in such table shall have the meanings set forth in Section 5(d)
hereof.

(ii) Rules for Determining Reason for Termination.

(A) If a Voluntary Termination occurs on a date that Executive is eligible for Retirement
as defined in The Hartford Investment and Savings Plan, as may be amended from time to
time, or any successor plan thereof (the “Savings Plan”), such Voluntary Termination shall
instead be treated as a Termination Due to Retirement solely for purposes of this Section
5.

(B) No Termination Without Cause shall be treated as a Termination Due to Retirement or a
Termination Due to Disability for purposes of any Pro Rata Target Bonus, Severance Payment,
Equity Awards or Vested Benefits Enhancement under this Section 5, notwithstanding the fact
that, either on, before or after the date of termination of the Employment Period with
respect thereto, (I) Executive was eligible for Retirement as defined in the Savings Plan,
(II) Executive requested to be treated as a retiree for purposes of the Savings Plan or any
other plan or program of the Company or its affiliates, or (III) Executive or the Company
could have terminated Executive’s employment in a Termination Due to Disability hereunder.

(d) Definitions.

“Beneficial Owner” means any Person who, directly or indirectly, has the right to vote or
dispose of or has “beneficial ownership” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities
and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”)) of any securities of a company, including any
such right pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing),
provided that: (i) a Person shall not be deemed the Beneficial Owner of any security as
a result of an agreement, arrangement or understanding to vote such security (A) arising solely
from a revocable proxy or consent given in response to a public proxy or consent solicitation
made pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and
regulations thereunder, or (B) made in connection with, or to otherwise participate in, a proxy
or consent solicitation made, or to be made, pursuant to, and in accordance with, the
applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder,
in either case described in clause (A) or (B) above, whether or not such agreement, arrangement
or understanding is also then reportable by such Person on Schedule 13D under the Exchange Act
(or any comparable or successor report); and (ii) a Person engaged in business as an
underwriter of securities shall not be deemed to be the Beneficial Owner of any security
acquired through such Person’s participation in good faith in a firm commitment underwriting
until the expiration of forty days after the date of such acquisition.

“Change of Control” means:

(i) a report on Schedule 13D shall be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Act disclosing that any Person other than the Company
or a subsidiary of the Company or any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company or
a subsidiary of the Company is the Beneficial Owner of forty percent or more of the
outstanding stock of the Company entitled to vote in the election of directors of the
Company;

(ii) any Person, other than the Company or a subsidiary of the Company or any
employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company shall
purchase shares pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer to acquire any stock of
the Company (or securities convertible into stock) entitled to vote in the election of
directors of the Company for cash, securities or any other consideration, provided that
after consummation of the offer, the Person in question is the Beneficial Owner of
fifteen percent or more of the outstanding stock of the Company entitled to vote in the
election of directors of the Company (calculated as provided in paragraph (d) of Rule
13d-3 under the Act in the case of rights to acquire stock);

 

14

 

(iii) any merger, consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization of the Company
approved by the stockholders of the Company shall be consummated, other than any such
transaction immediately following which the persons who were the Beneficial Owners of
the outstanding securities of the Company entitled to vote in the election of directors
of the Company

immediately prior to such transaction are the Beneficial Owners of at least 55% of the
total voting power represented by the securities of the entity surviving such transaction
entitled to vote in the election of directors of such entity (or the ultimate parent of
such entity) in substantially the same relative proportions as their ownership of the
securities of the Company entitled to vote in the election of directors of the Company
immediately prior to such transaction; provided that, such continuity of ownership (and
preservation of relative voting power) shall be deemed to be satisfied if the failure to
meet such threshold (or to preserve such relative voting power) is due solely to the
acquisition of voting securities by an employee benefit plan of the Company, such surviving
entity or any subsidiary of such surviving entity;

(iv) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related
transactions) of all or substantially all the assets of the Company approved by the
stockholders of the Company shall be consummated; or

(v) within any 24 month period, the persons who were directors of the Company immediately
before the beginning of such period (the “Incumbent Directors”) shall cease (for any reason
other than death) to constitute at least a majority of the Board or the board of directors
of any successor to the Company, provided that any director who was not a director at the
beginning of such period shall be deemed to be an Incumbent Director if such director (A)
was elected to the Board by, or on the recommendation of or with the approval of, at least
two-thirds of the directors who then qualified as Incumbent Directors either actually or by
prior operation of this clause (v), and (B) was not designated by a person who has entered
into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in clause (iii) or
(iv) of this definition of the term Change of Control in Section 6(d) of this Agreement.

“Date of Termination” means (i) in the case of a termination of the Employment Period for which
a Notice of Termination is required, the date of receipt of such Notice of Termination or, if
later, the date specified therein, as the case may be, or (ii) in all other cases, the actual
date on which Executive’s employment terminates during the Employment Period.

“Not Payable” means that a particular benefit shall not be paid or otherwise provided to
Executive.

“Notice of Termination” means (i) in the case of a Termination For Cause, a written notice given by
the Company to Executive, within 30 calendar days of the Company’s having actual knowledge of the
events giving rise to such termination, (ii) in the case of a Termination Without Cause, a written
notice given by the Company to Executive at least 30 calendar days before the effective date of
such Termination Without Cause, (iii) in the case of a Voluntary Termination, a written notice
given by Executive to the Company at least 30 calendar days before the effective date of such
termination, and (iv) in the case of a Termination For Good
Reason, a written notice given by Executive to the Company within

 

15

 

180 days of Executive’s having actual knowledge of the
events giving rise to such Termination For Good Reason, and which (A) indicates the specific
termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (B) sets 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, and (C) if the termination date is other than the date of receipt of
such notice, specifies the termination date of this Agreement (which date shall be not more than 15
days after the giving of such notice). The failure by Executive to set forth in such Notice of
Termination any fact or circumstance that contributes to a showing of Good Reason shall not waive
any right of Executive hereunder or preclude Executive from asserting such fact or circumstance in
enforcing his rights hereunder.

“Payable” means that a particular benefit shall be paid to Executive in the amount, at the time,
and in the form specified herein.

“Person” has the meaning ascribed to such term in Section 3(a)(9) of the Act, as supplemented by
Section 13(d)(3) of the Act; provided, however, that Person shall not include (i) the Company, any
subsidiary of the Company or any other Person controlled by the Company, (ii) any trustee or other
fiduciary holding securities under any employee benefit plan of the Company or of any subsidiary of
the Company, or (iii) a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the
Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of securities of the Company.

“Severance Payment” means a cash amount equal to three times the sum of (i) Executive’s Base Salary
at the rate in effect as of the date on which the Employment Period terminates, and (ii)
Executive’s Target Bonus for such year.

“Termination For Cause” means the Company’s termination of Executive’s employment due to (i)
Executive’s conviction of a felony; (ii) an act or acts of extreme dishonesty or gross misconduct
on Executive’s part which result or are intended to result in material damage to the Company’s
business or reputation; or (iii) repeated material violations by Executive of his obligations under
Section 2 of this Agreement, which violations are demonstrably willful and deliberate on
Executive’s part and which result in material damage to the Company’s business or reputation.
Executive shall be permitted to respond and defend himself before the Board within 30 days after
delivery to Executive of written notification of any proposed Termination for Cause which specifies
in detail the reasons for such termination. If the majority of the members of the Board
(excluding Executive) do not confirm that the Company had grounds for a Termination For Cause
within 30 days after Executive has had his hearing before the Board, Executive shall have the
option of treating his employment as not having terminated or as having been terminated pursuant to
a Termination Without Cause.

 

16

 

“Termination For Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following after the occurrence
of a Change of Control:

(i) (A) the assignment to Executive of any duties inconsistent in any material adverse
respect with Executive’s position, duties, authority or responsibilities as contemplated by
Section 2 of this Agreement, or (B) any other material adverse change in such position,
including titles, authority or responsibilities;

(ii) any failure by the Company to comply with any of the provisions of Sections 3 and 4 of
this Agreement at a level of least equal to that in effect immediately preceding the Change
of Control, other than an insubstantial or inadvertent failure remedied by the Company
promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by Executive;

(iii) the Company’s requiring Executive to be based at any office or location more than 25
miles from the location at which he performed his services specified under Section 2 hereof
immediately prior to the Change of Control, except for travel reasonably required in the
performance of Executive’s responsibilities;

(iv) any failure by the Company to obtain the assumption and agreement to perform this
Agreement by a successor as contemplated by Section 10(d) hereof; or

(v) any attempt by the Company to terminate the Executive’s employment in a Termination For
Cause that is determined by the Board pursuant to Section 5(c) hereof, or in a proceeding
pursuant to Section 9 or Section 10 hereof, not to constitute a Termination For Cause.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a termination of Executive’s employment shall not be treated as a
Termination For Good Reason (I) if Executive shall have consented in writing to the occurrence of
the event giving rise to the claim of Termination For Good Reason, or (II) if Executive shall have
delivered a Notice of Termination to the Company, and the facts and circumstances specified therein
as providing a basis for such Termination For Good Reason are cured by the Company within 10 days
of its receipt of such Notice of Termination.

“Vested Benefits Enhancement” means (i) a cash amount equal to the present value, calculated using
a discount rate equal to the then prevailing applicable Federal rate as determined under Section
1274(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), of the additional retirement
benefits that would have been payable or available to Executive under any ERPs, based on (A) the
age and service Executive would have attained or completed had Executive continued in the Company’s
employ until the third anniversary of the occurrence of the Change of Control, and (B) where
compensation is a relevant factor, his pensionable compensation as of the Date of Termination, such
compensation to include, on the same terms as apply to other executives, any Severance Payment made
to Executive, (ii) solely for purposes of vesting in any benefits under any ESPs, Executive shall
be treated as having continued in the Company’s employ until the third anniversary of the
occurrence of such Change of Control, and (iii) solely for the
purposes of determining eligibility for retiree medical benefits under any retirement plan or any
retiree welfare benefit plan, policy or program of the Company or its affiliates, and any
ERPs related thereto, Executive shall be treated as having continued in the Company’s employ
until the third anniversary of the occurrence of such Change of Control and to have retired
on the last day of such period. A Vested Benefits Enhancement shall only be applicable in
the event that Executive’s employment by the Company terminates prior to July 1, 2009.

 

17

 

“Voluntary Termination” means a termination of employment by Executive other than a Termination
For Good Reason, a Termination Due to Disability by Executive, or a Termination Due to Death.

“Welfare Benefits Continuation” shall have the same meaning as that described in Section 5
hereof, except that the entitlement of Executive and/or his dependents to participation in the
Welfare Benefit Plans shall continue until the third anniversary of the Date of Termination.

(d) Out-Placement Services. If the Employment Period terminates because of a
Termination Without Cause or a Termination For Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled to
out-placement services, provided by the Company or its designee at the Company’s expense, for 12
months following the Date of Termination, or such lesser period as the Executive may require
such services.

(e) Certain Further Payments by Company.

(i) Tax Reimbursement Payment. In the event that any amount or benefit paid or
distributed to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, taken together with any amounts or
benefits otherwise paid or distributed to Executive by the Company or any affiliate
(collectively, the “Covered Payments”), are or become subject to the tax (the “Excise Tax”)
imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any similar tax
that may hereafter be imposed, the Company shall pay to the Executive at the time specified in
this Section an additional amount (the “Tax Reimbursement Payment”) such that the net amount
retained by the Executive with respect to such Covered Payments, after deduction of any Excise
Tax on the Covered Payments and any Federal, state and local income tax and other tax on the
Tax Reimbursement Payment provided for by this Section, but before deduction for any Federal,
state or local income or employment tax withholding on such Covered Payments, shall be equal to
the amount of the Covered Payments.

(ii) Applicable Rules. For purposes of determining whether any of the Covered
Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax,

(A) such Covered Payments will be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning
of Section 280G of the Code, and all “parachute payments” in excess of the “base
amount” (as defined under Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) shall be treated as subject
to the Excise Tax, unless, and except to the extent that, in the good faith judgment of
the Company’s independent certified public accountants appointed prior to the Effective Date or tax counsel selected by such
accountants (the “Accountants”), the Company has a reasonable basis to conclude that such
Covered Payments (in whole or in part) either do not constitute “parachute payments” or
represent reasonable compensation for personal services actually rendered (within the
meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code) in excess of the “base amount,” or such
“parachute payments” are otherwise not subject to such Excise Tax, and

 

18

 

(B) the value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be
determined by the Accountants in accordance with the principles of Section 280G of the
Code.

(iii) Additional Rules. For purposes of determining the amount of the Tax Reimbursement
Payment, the Executive shall be deemed to pay: (A) Federal income taxes at the highest applicable
marginal rate of Federal income taxation for the calendar year in which the Tax Reimbursement
Payment is to be made, and (B) any applicable state and local income and other taxes at the
highest applicable marginal rate of taxation for the calendar year in which the Tax Reimbursement
Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in Federal incomes taxes which could be
obtained from the deduction of such state or local taxes if paid in such year.

(iv) Repayment or Additional Payment in Certain Circumstances.

(A) Repayment. In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined by the
Accountants or pursuant to any proceeding or negotiations with the Internal Revenue Service
to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder in calculating the Tax
Reimbursement Payment made, Executive shall repay to the Company, at the time that the
amount of such reduction in the Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of such prior
Tax Reimbursement Payment that would not have been paid if such lesser Excise Tax had been
applied in initially calculating such Tax Reimbursement Payment. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event any portion of the Tax Reimbursement Payment to be repaid to the
Company has been paid to any Federal, state or local tax authority, repayment thereof shall
not be required until actual refund or credit of such portion has been made to Executive by
the applicable tax authority. Executive and the Company shall mutually agree upon the
course of action to be pursued (and the method of allocating the expenses thereof) if
Executive’s good faith claim for refund or credit is denied.

(B) Additional Tax Reimbursement Payment. In the event that the Excise Tax is
later determined by the Accountants or pursuant to any proceeding or negotiations with the
Internal Revenue Service to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the
Tax Reimbursement Payment is made (including, but not limited to, by reason of any payment
the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Tax Reimbursement
Payment), the Company shall make an additional Tax Reimbursement Payment in respect of such excess (plus any interest or penalty payable with respect to
such excess) at the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined.

 

19

 

(v) Timing for Tax Reimbursement Payment. The Tax Reimbursement Payment (or portion
thereof) provided for in this Section 6 shall be paid to Executive not later than 10 business
days following the payment of the Covered Payments; provided, however, that if the amount of
such Tax Reimbursement Payment (or portion thereof) cannot be finally determined on or before
the date on which payment is due, the Company shall pay to Executive by such date an amount
estimated in good faith by the Accountants to be the minimum amount of such Tax Reimbursement
Payment and shall pay the remainder of such Tax Reimbursement Payment (together with interest
at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as soon as the amount thereof can be
determined, but in no event later than 45 calendar days after payment of the related Covered
Payment. To the extent that the amount of the estimated Tax Reimbursement Payment exceeds the
amount subsequently determined to have been due, Executive shall repay such excess to the
Company on the fifth business day after written demand by the Company for payment.

7. Timing of Payments.

Accrued Salary shall be paid no later than 10 days following the termination of the Employment
Period. Any Severance Payment and Vested Benefits Enhancement, together with interest thereon
based on prevailing short term rates for the period between the date of payment and the termination
of the Employment Period, shall be paid during the 10 day period following the six month
anniversary of the termination of the Employment Period. Except as provided in the definition of
“Payable” in Section 5(d), a Pro-Rata Target Bonus, which payment is attributable to services
performed by Executive during the calendar year in which the Performance Period terminates, shall
be paid as follows: (a) if the Employment Period terminates in the first, second or third calendar
quarter of any particular calendar year, then the Pro-Rata Target Bonus shall be paid no later than
10 days following the termination of the Employment Period; or (b) if the Employment Period
terminates in the fourth calendar quarter of any particular calendar year, then the Pro-Rata Target
Bonus shall be paid no later than the same time as similar awards are paid to other executives
participating in the plans or programs under which the awards are paid, but in no event later than
March 15 of the calendar year following the end of such fourth calendar quarter. Vested Benefits
and Equity Awards shall be paid no later than the time for payment Determined Under the Applicable
Plan except as otherwise expressly superseded or modified by this Agreement. Tax Reimbursement
Payments shall be paid at the time specified in Section 6 hereof.

 

20

 

In applying the provisions of Sections 5 and 6, continued participation in the health insurance
benefit plans shall be in two parts: (i) the first part shall continue from the date of termination
to the end of the 18-month period during which Executive would have been eligible for continuation
coverage under Section 601 et. seq. of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended, and (ii) the second part shall commence on the first day after the end of the period described in subclause (i) and shall end on
the last day of the applicable Welfare Benefits Continuation period. Continued participation in
Welfare Benefits Continuation provided under Section 6 other than with respect to health benefits
shall also be provided in two parts: (i) the first part shall continue from the Date of Termination
until the second anniversary of Executive’s Date of Termination, and (ii) the second part shall
commence on the day immediately following such second anniversary and continuing until the end of
the applicable Continuation period. To the extent Welfare Benefits Continuation consists of
reimbursement of expenses, such reimbursement shall be paid within 60 days of the submission of
reasonably satisfactory evidence of such expenses, in accordance with the generally applicable
requirements under the applicable arrangement, but in no event later than the end of the calendar
year following the calendar year in which such expenses are incurred. Any amount of expenses
eligible for reimbursement of welfare benefits or in-kind benefits provided during any calendar
year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be provided in
any other calendar year.

Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, for purposes of Sections 5 and 6,
Executive shall not be deemed to have had a termination of employment unless Executive shall have
also had a separation from service, as determined in accordance with any policies or practices that
the Company shall adopt in accordance with, or as otherwise determined pursuant to, Section 409A of
the Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder.

8. Full Discharge of Company Obligations.

Except as expressly provided in the last sentence of this Section 8, the amounts payable to
Executive pursuant to Section 5 following termination of his employment (including amounts payable
with respect to Vested Benefits) shall be in full and complete satisfaction of Executive’s rights
under Section 5 of this Agreement and any other claims he may have in respect of his employment by
the Company or any of its affiliates. Such amounts shall constitute liquidated damages with respect
to any and all such rights and claims and, upon Executive’s receipt of such amounts, the Company
shall be released and discharged from any and all liability to Executive in connection with Section
5 of this Agreement or otherwise in connection with Executive’s employment with the Company and its
affiliates. Nothing in this Section 8 shall be construed to release the Company from its
obligation to indemnify Executive as provided in Section 4(e) hereof.

 

21

 

9. Noncompetition,
Confidentiality and Other Covenants.

By and in consideration of the compensation and benefits to be provided by the Company hereunder,
including the severance arrangements set forth herein, Executive agrees to the following:

(a) Noncompetition. During the Employment Period and until the earlier of: (i) the
last day of the one year period following any Voluntary Termination
of the Employment Period by Executive pursuant to Section 5 hereof, or (ii) the date a Change of Control
occurs (the “Restriction Period”), Executive shall not become associated with any entity, whether
as a principal, partner, employee, agent, consultant, shareholder (other than as a holder, or a
member of a group which is a holder, of not in excess of 1% of the outstanding voting shares of any
publicly traded company) or in any other relationship or capacity, paid or unpaid, that is actively
engaged in any geographic area in any business which is in competition with the business of the
Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the terms of this Section 9(a) shall
not apply in the event of any termination of employment following a Change of Control as provided
for in Section 6 of this Agreement.

(b) Confidentiality. Without the prior written consent of the Company, except to the
extent required by an order of a court having competent jurisdiction or under subpoena from an
appropriate government agency, Executive shall not disclose to any third person, or permit the use
of for the benefit of any person or any entity other than The Company or its affiliates, any trade
secrets, customer lists, information regarding product development, marketing plans, sales plans,
management organization information (including data and other information relating to members of
the Board and management), operating policies or manuals, business plans, financial records, or
other financial, organizational, commercial, business, sales, marketing, technical, product or
employee information relating to the Company or its affiliates or information designated as
confidential, proprietary, and/or a trade secret, or any other information relating to the Company
or its affiliates that Executive knows from the circumstances, in good faith and good conscience,
should be treated as confidential, or any information that the Company or its affiliates may
receive belonging to customers, agents or others who do business with the Company or its
affiliates, except to the extent that any such information previously has been disclosed to the
public by the Company or is in the public domain (other than by reason of Executive’s violation of
this Section 9(b)).

(c) Non-Solicitation of Employees. During the Employment Period and until the earlier of
: (i) the last day of the one year period following any Voluntary Termination of the Employment
Period by Executive pursuant to Section 5 hereof, or (ii) the date of a Change of Control occurs,
Executive shall not directly or indirectly solicit, encourage or induce any employee of the Company
or its affiliates to terminate employment with such entity, and shall not directly or indirectly,
either individually or as owner, agent, employee, consultant or otherwise, employ or offer
employment to any person who is or was employed by the Company or an affiliate — thereof unless
such person shall have ceased to be employed by such entity for a period of at least six months.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the terms of this Section 9(c) shall not apply in
the event of any termination of employment following a Change of Control as provided for in Section
6 of this Agreement.

(d) Company Property. Except as expressly provided herein, promptly following any
termination of the Employment Period, Executive shall return to the
Company all property of the Company, and all copies thereof in Executive’s possession or under his
control.

 

22

 

(e) Injunctive Relief and Other Remedies with Respect to Covenants. Executive
acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and obligations of Executive with respect to
noncompetition, confidentiality, nonsolicitation, and Company property relate to special,
unique and extraordinary matters and that a violation of any of the terms of such covenants and
obligations will cause the Company irreparable injury for which adequate remedies are not
available at law. Therefore, Executive agrees that the Company (i) shall be entitled to an
injunction, restraining order or such other equitable relief (without the requirement to post
bond) restraining Executive from committing any violation of the covenants and obligations
contained in this Section 9, and (ii) shall have no further obligation to make any payments to
Executive hereunder following any material violation of the covenants and obligations contained
in this Section 9. These remedies are cumulative and are in addition to any other rights and
remedies the Company may have at law or in equity. In connection with the foregoing
provisions of this Section 9, Executive represents that his economic means and circumstances
are such that such provisions will not prevent him from providing for himself and his family on
a basis satisfactory to him. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall an asserted
violation of the provisions of this Section constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any
amounts otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement following a Change of Control.

10. Miscellaneous.

(a) Survival. All of the provisions of Sections 5 (relating to termination of the
Employment Period prior to a Change of Control), 6 (relating to termination of the Employment
Period following a Change of Control), 9 (relating to noncompetition, confidentiality,
nonsolicitation and Company property), 10(b) (relating to arbitration), 10(c) (relating to
legal fees) and 10(n) (relating to governing law) of this Agreement shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.

(b) Arbitration. Except as provided in Section 9, any dispute or controversy arising
under or in connection with this Agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Such
arbitration shall be held in the city of Hartford, Connecticut and except to the extent
inconsistent with this Agreement, shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect at the time of the
arbitration, and otherwise in accordance with the principles that would be applied by a court
of law or equity. The arbitrator shall be acceptable to both the Company and Executive.
If the parties cannot agree on an acceptable arbitrator, the dispute or controversy shall be
heard by a panel of three arbitrators; one appointed by each of the parties and the third
appointed by the other two arbitrators. The Company and Executive further agree that they
will abide by and perform any award or awards rendered by the arbitrators and that a judgment
may be entered on any award or awards rendered by any state or federal court having jurisdiction over the Company or Executive or
any of their respective property.

 

23

 

(c) Legal Fees and Expenses. In any contest (whether initiated by Executive or by the
Company) as to the validity, enforceability or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement,
the Company shall pay Executive’s legal expenses (or cause such expenses to be paid) including,
without limitation, his reasonable attorney’s fees, on a quarterly basis, upon presentation of
proof of such expenses in a form acceptable to the Company, provided that Executive shall
reimburse the Company for such amounts, plus simple interest thereon at the 90-day United States
Treasury Bill rate as in effect from time to time, compounded annually, if Executive shall not
prevail, in whole or in part, as to any material issue as to the validity, enforceability or
interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

(d) Successors; Binding Effect. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the Company and its successors. The Company shall require any successor to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, whether direct or indirect, by
purchase, merger, consolidation, acquisition of stock, or otherwise, by an agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to Executive, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the
same manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to perform the Agreement if no
such succession had taken place. This Agreement is personal to the Executive and, without the
prior written consent of the Company, shall not be assignable by Executive otherwise than by will
or the law of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by Executive’s legal representatives.

(e) Assignment. Except as provided in Section 10(d), neither this Agreement nor any of
the rights or obligations hereunder shall be assigned or delegated by any party hereto without the
prior written consent of the other party.

(f) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties
hereto with respect to the matters referred to herein. This Agreement supersedes and replaces any
prior employment or severance agreement or arrangement between the Company and Executive. No
other agreement relating to the terms of Executive’s employment by the Company, oral or otherwise,
shall be binding between the parties unless it is in writing and signed by the party against whom
enforcement is sought. There are no promises, representations, inducements or statements between
the parties other than those that are expressly contained herein. Executive acknowledges that he is
entering into this Agreement of his own free will and accord, and with no duress, and that he has
read this Agreement and that he understands it and its legal consequences.

(g) Severability; Reformation. In the event that one or more of the provisions of this
Agreement shall become invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected thereby. In the
event of a determination that any of the provisions of Section 9(a), Section 9(b) or Section 9(c) are not enforceable in accordance with their terms,
Executive and the Company agree that such Section shall be reformed to make such Section
enforceable in a manner that provides the Company the maximum rights permitted at law.

 

24

 

(h) Waiver. Waiver by any party hereto of any breach or default by the other party of
any of the terms of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any other breach or default,
whether similar to or different from the breach or default waived. No waiver of any provision of
this Agreement shall be implied from any course of dealing between the parties hereto or from any
failure by either party hereto to assert its or his rights hereunder on any occasion or series of
occasions.

be in writing and shall be delivered personally, by courier service, by registered mail, return
receipt requested, or by telecopy and shall be effective upon actual receipt by the party to which

(j) Amendments. This Agreement may not be altered, modified or amended except by a
written instrument signed by each of the parties hereto, provided, however, that the Company may
unilaterally amend this Agreement at any time as may be necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to
comply with law or to avoid payments to the Executive under the Agreement being subject to an
additional tax under Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement is intended to comply with Section
409A of the Code, and no action taken by the Company shall be construed in a manner that would
result in the imposition of an additional tax on Executive under Section 409A of the Code.

 

25

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other plan or agreement, if the
Company and or any of its subsidiaries participates in the Troubled Assets Relief Program or any
similar program under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”) and Executive is
determined to be a “senior executive officer” within the meaning of EESA, Executive agrees that this Agreement and any other
compensation arrangements with the Company and its subsidiaries shall be deemed modified to the
extent necessary to comply with the provisions of EESA and all related U.S. Treasury Department and
Internal Revenue Service regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder, including but not limited
to the following: (i) bonus and incentive compensation arrangements may be limited to the extent
necessary to ensure that senior executive officers are not encouraged to take risks that are
unnecessary or excessive, (ii) all bonus and incentive compensation shall, to the extent required
by EESA, be subject to recovery or “clawback” by the Company if the payments were based on
materially inaccurate financial statements or any other materially inaccurate performance metric
criteria, (iii) any amounts treated as “golden parachute payments” under Section 280G of the
Internal Revenue Code shall be limited to the extent required by EESA, and (iv) Executive hereby
waives all rights to compensation the payment of which is prohibited by EESA. Executive shall
execute such amendments to this or any other applicable agreement or plan or arrangement as the
Company shall determine to be necessary to affect the foregoing sentence. To the extent required by
EESA or the U.S. Treasury Department, Executive hereby agrees to grant to the U.S. Treasury
Department a waiver releasing the U.S. Treasury Department from any claims that Executive may have
as a result of the issuance of any regulations which modify the terms of any benefit plans,
arrangements or agreements to eliminate any provisions that would not be in compliance with the
requirements of Section 111 of EESA and any guidance or regulations promulgated thereunder.
Executive further hereby agrees that this Agreement and any other compensation arrangements with
the Company and its subsidiaries shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to comply with
the provisions of programs under future legislation similar to EESA and all related regulations and
guidance promulgated thereunder, and to cooperate with the Company’s participation in any such
programs.

(k) Headings. Headings to provisions of this Agreement are for the convenience of the
parties only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation hereof.

(l) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall
be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(m) Withholding. Any payments provided for herein shall be reduced by any amounts
required to be withheld by the Company from time to time under applicable Federal, State or local
income or employment tax laws or similar statutes or other provisions of law then in effect.

 

26

 

(n) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Connecticut, without reference to principles of conflicts or choice of law under which the law
of any other jurisdiction would apply.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed by its duly
authorized officer, and Executive has hereunto set his hand, as of the day and year first above
written.

Exhibit 10.02

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

(INCORPORATES AMENDMENT DATED OCTOBER 31, 2008)

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, amended and restated as of September 7, 2006, by and between The
Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (“The Hartford” or the “Company”), a Delaware
corporation, and Thomas M. Marra (“Executive”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive entered into an Employment Agreement dated as of July 1,
2000 (the “Commencement Date”), in accordance with which Executive is performing substantial
services for the Company; and

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to amend and restate that Employment Agreement,
effective as of the date first written above;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and Executive’s
continued participation in certain incentive compensation plans pursuant to which the level, if
any, of participation is determined by the administrators of such plans, the Company and
Executive hereby agree that the Employment Agreement is amended and restated to read as follows
(hereinafter referred to in its amended form as the “Agreement”), effective as of the date first
above written:

1. Employment.

	 	(a)	 	Agreement to Employ. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this
Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to continue to employ Executive and Executive hereby
agrees to continue his employment by the Company.

	 	(b)	 	Term of Employment. Except as otherwise provided below, the Company shall employ
Executive for the period commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the third
anniversary of the Commencement Date. At the expiration of the original term or any extended
term (each a “Renewal Date”), Executive’s employment hereunder shall be extended
automatically, upon the same terms and conditions, for successive one-year periods, unless
either party shall give written notice to the other of its intention not to renew such
employment at least fifteen months prior to such Renewal Date. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined below),
the term of this Agreement shall be extended automatically without any action by either party
until the second anniversary of such Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if not
previously terminated pursuant to Sections 1(b), 5(a) or 6(a), the term of this Agreement
shall terminate on the last day of the month in which Executive attains age 65, and such a
termination upon Executive reaching age 65
shall be deemed to be a Termination Due to Retirement for purposes of this Agreement. The period
during which Executive is employed pursuant to this Agreement, including any extension thereof
in accordance with this Section 1(b), shall be referred to as the “Employment Period.”

 

 

 

2. Position and Duties.

During the Employment Period, Executive shall serve as Executive Vice President of The Hartford and
Chief Operating Officer of Hartford Life, Inc. and/or in such other position or positions with the
Company or its affiliates commensurate with his position and experience as the Board of Directors
of the Company (the “Board”) or the Chairman of the Company (the “Chairman”) shall from time to
time specify. During the Employment Period, Executive shall have the duties, responsibilities and
obligations customarily assigned to individuals serving in the position or positions in which
Executive serves hereunder and such other duties, responsibilities and obligations as the Board or
the Chairman shall from time to time specify. Executive shall devote his full time to the services
required of him hereunder, except for vacation time and reasonable periods of absence due to
sickness, personal injury or other disability, and shall use his best efforts, judgement, skill and
energy to perform such services in a manner consonant with the duties of his position and to
improve and advance the business and interests of the Company and its affiliates. During the
Employment Period, Executive shall comply with the Code of Conduct of the Company. Unless and to
the extent inconsistent with the terms of any published Company policy or code of conduct as in
effect on the date hereof and as hereafter amended, nothing contained herein shall preclude
Executive from (a) serving on the board of directors of any business corporation with the consent
of the Board or the Chairman, (b) serving on the board of, or working for, any charitable or
community organization, or (c) pursuing his personal financial and legal affairs, so long as the
foregoing activities, individually or collectively, do not interfere with the performance of
Executive’s duties hereunder or violate any of the provisions of Section 9 hereof.

3. Compensation.

	 	(a)	 	Base Salary. During the Employment Period, the Company shall pay Executive a base
salary at the annual rate as in effect on the date hereof. The annual base salary payable under
this paragraph shall be reduced, however, to the extent that Executive elects to defer such salary
under the terms of any deferred compensation or savings plan or arrangement maintained or
established by the Company or its affiliates. The Board or the appropriate committee of the Board
may in its discretion periodically review Executive’s base salary in light of competitive
practices, the base salaries paid to other executive officers of the Company and the performance of
Executive and the Company and its applicable affiliates, and may, in its discretion, increase such
base salary by an amount it determines to be appropriate. Any such increase shall not reduce or
limit any other obligation of the Company hereunder. Executive’s base salary (as set forth above or
as may be increased from time to time) shall not be reduced following any Change of Control, but
may be reduced prior to a Change of Control solely pursuant to a cost-saving plan or structural
realignment of total compensation elements that includes all senior executives and only to the
extent that such reduction is proportionate to the reductions applicable to other senior
executives. Executive’s annual base salary payable hereunder, as it may be increased or reduced
from time to time as provided herein and without reduction for any amounts deferred as described
above, shall be referred to herein as “Base Salary.” The Company shall
pay Executive the portion of his Base Salary not deferred not less frequently than in equal monthly
installments.

 

2

 

	 	(b)	 	Annual Bonus. For each calendar year ending during the Employment Period, Executive
shall have the opportunity to earn and receive an annual bonus, based on the achievement of target
levels of performance, equal to the percentage of his Base Salary used to calculate such annual
bonus as of the date hereof. Executive’s annual bonus opportunity may be increased above such
percentage from time to time by the Board or the appropriate committee thereof. Executive’s annual
bonus opportunity shall not be reduced following any Change of Control, but may be reduced prior to
a Change of Control solely pursuant to a cost-saving plan or structural realignment of total
compensation elements that includes all senior executives and only to the extent that such
reduction is proportionate to the reductions applicable to other senior executives. Executive’s
annual bonus opportunity, as it may be increased or reduced from time to time as provided herein,
shall be referred to herein as “Target Bonus.” The actual bonus, if any, payable for any such year
shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Annual Executive Bonus Program or
any successor annual incentive plan (the “Annual Plan”) based upon the performance of the Company
and/or its applicable affiliates and/or Executive against target objectives established under such
Annual Plan. Subject to Executive’s election to defer all or a portion of any annual bonus payable
hereunder pursuant to the terms of any deferred compensation or savings plan or arrangement
maintained or established by the Company or its affiliates, any annual bonus payable under this
Section 3(b) shall be paid to Executive in accordance with the terms of the Annual Plan.

	 	(c)	 	Long-term Incentive Compensation. During the Employment Period, Executive shall
participate in all of the Company’s existing and future long-term incentive compensation programs
for key executives at a level commensurate with his position with the Company and consistent with
the Company’s then current policies and practices, as determined in good faith by the Board or the
appropriate committee of the Board.

4. Benefits, Perquisites and Expenses.

	 	(a)	 	Benefits. During the Employment Period, Executive (and, to the extent applicable,
his dependents) shall be eligible to participate in or be covered under (i) each welfare
benefit plan or program maintained or as hereafter amended or established by the Company or
its applicable affiliates, including, without limitation, each group life, hospitalization,
medical, dental, health, accident or disability insurance or similar plan or program of
thereof, and (ii) each pension, retirement, savings, deferred compensation, stock purchase or
other similar plan or program maintained or as hereafter amended or established by the
Company or its applicable affiliates, in each case to the extent that Executive is eligible
to participate in any such plan or program under the generally applicable provisions thereof.
Nothing in this Section 4(a) shall limit the Company’s right to amend or terminate any such
plan or program in accordance with the procedures set forth therein or as permitted by
applicable law.

	 	(b)	 	Perquisites. For each calendar year during the Employment Period, Executive shall
be entitled to at least the number of paid vacation days per year that Executive is entitled
to as of
the date hereof, and shall also be entitled to receive such other perquisites as are generally
provided to him as of the date hereof or are hereafter provided to other similarly situated senior
executives of the Company in accordance with the then current policies and practices of the
Company.

 

3

 

	 	(c)	 	Business Expenses. During the Employment Period, the Company shall pay or reimburse
Executive for all reasonable business expenses incurred or paid by Executive in the performance of
Executive’s duties hereunder, upon presentation of expense statements or vouchers and such other
information as the Company may require and in accordance with the generally applicable policies and
procedures of the Company.

	 	(d)	 	Office and Support Staff. During the Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled to
an office with furnishings and other material appointments, and to secretarial and other
assistance, at a level that is at least commensurate with the foregoing provided to him as of the
date hereof or is hereafter provided to other similarly situated senior executives of the Company.

	 	(e)	 	Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify Executive and hold Executive harmless from
and against any claim, loss or cause of action, regardless whether asserted during or after the
Employment Period, arising from or out of Executive’s performance as an officer, director or
employee of the Company or any of its affiliates or in any other capacity, including any fiduciary
capacity in which Executive serves at the request of the Company, to the maximum extent permitted
by applicable law and under the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company, as may be
amended from time to time (the “Governing Documents”), provided that in no event shall the
protection afforded to Executive be less than that afforded under the Governing Documents as in
effect on the Commencement Date.

5. Termination of Employment.

The provisions of this Section 5 shall apply prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control and, if
Executive is still in the Company’s employ, shall again become applicable upon the second
anniversary of such Change of Control.

	 	(a)	 	Early Termination of the Employment Period. Notwithstanding Section 1(b) hereof, the
Employment Period shall end upon the earliest to occur of (i) a Termination For Cause, (ii) a
Termination Without Cause, (iii) a Voluntary Termination, (iv) a Termination Due to Retirement, (v)
a Termination Due to Disability, or (vi) a Termination Due to Death.

	 	(b)	 	Notice of Termination. Communication of termination under this Section 5 shall be made
to the other party by Notice of Termination in the case of (i) a Termination For Cause, (ii) a
Termination Without Cause, or (iii) a Voluntary Termination.

 

4

 

	 	(c)	 	Benefits Payable Upon Termination; Rules for Determining Reason for Termination.

	 	(i)	 	Benefits Payable Upon Termination. Following the end of the Employment Period
pursuant to Section 5(a), Executive (or, in the event of his death, his surviving spouse, if
any, or if none, his estate) shall be paid the type or types of compensation determined to be
payable in accordance with the following table, such payment to be made in the form specified in
such table and at the time established pursuant to Section 7 hereof. Capitalized terms used in
such table shall have the meanings set forth in Section 5(d) hereof.

	 	(ii)	 	Rules for Determining Reason for Termination.

	 	(A)	 	If a Voluntary Termination occurs on a date that Executive is eligible for Retirement
as defined in The Hartford Investment and Savings Plan, as may be amended from time to
time, or any successor plan thereof (the “Savings Plan”), such Voluntary Termination shall
instead be treated as a Termination Due to Retirement solely for purposes of this Section
5.

	 	(B)	 	No Termination Without Cause shall be treated as a Termination Due to Retirement or a
Termination Due to Disability for purposes of any Pro Rata Target Bonus, Severance
Payment, Equity Awards or Vested Benefits Enhancement under this Section 5,
notwithstanding the fact that, either on, before or after the date of termination of the
Employment Period with respect thereto, (I) Executive was eligible for Retirement as
defined in the Savings Plan, (II) Executive requested to be treated as a retiree for
purposes of the Savings Plan or any other plan or program of the Company or its
affiliates, or (III) Executive or the Company could have terminated Executive’s employment
in a Termination Due to Disability hereunder.

	 	(d)	 	Definitions.

“Beneficial Owner” means any Person who, directly or indirectly, has the right to vote
or dispose of or has “beneficial ownership” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”)) of any securities of a
company, including any such right pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding
(whether or not in writing), provided that: (i) a Person shall not be deemed the Beneficial
Owner of any security as a result of an agreement, arrangement or understanding to vote
such security (A) arising solely from a revocable proxy or consent given in response to a
public proxy or consent solicitation made pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Exchange
Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder, or (B) made in connection with, or
to otherwise participate in, a proxy or consent solicitation made, or to be made, pursuant
to, and in accordance with, the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the
applicable rules and regulations thereunder, in either case described in clause (A) or (B)
above, whether or not such agreement, arrangement or understanding is also then reportable
by such Person on Schedule 13D under the Exchange Act (or any comparable or successor
report); and (ii) a Person engaged in business as an underwriter of securities shall not be
deemed to be the Beneficial Owner of any security acquired through such Person’s
participation in good faith in a firm commitment underwriting until the expiration of forty
days after the date of such acquisition.

“Change of Control” means:

	 	(i)	 	a report on Schedule 13D shall be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Act disclosing that any Person, other
than the Company or a subsidiary of the Company or any employee benefit plan
sponsored by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company is the Beneficial Owner of
forty percent or more of the outstanding stock of the Company entitled to vote in
the election of directors of the Company;

	 	(ii)	 	any Person, other than the Company or a subsidiary of the Company or any
employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company shall
purchase shares pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer to acquire any stock
of the Company (or securities convertible into stock) entitled to vote in the
election of directors of the Company for cash, securities or any other
consideration, provided that after consummation of the offer, the Person in
question is the Beneficial Owner of fifteen percent or more of the outstanding
stock of the Company entitled to vote in the election of directors of the Company
(calculated as provided in paragraph (d) of Rule 13d-3 under the Act in the case of
rights to acquire stock);

 

14

 

	 	(iii)	 	any merger, consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization of the Company
approved by the stockholders of the Company shall be consummated, other than any
such transaction immediately following which the persons who were the Beneficial
Owners of the outstanding securities of the Company entitled to vote in the
election of directors of the Company immediately prior to such transaction are the
Beneficial Owners of at least 55% of the total voting power represented by the
securities of the entity surviving such transaction entitled to vote in the
election of directors of such entity (or the ultimate parent of such entity) in
substantially the same relative proportions as their ownership of the securities of
the Company entitled to vote in the election of directors of the Company
immediately prior to such transaction; provided that, such continuity of ownership
(and preservation of relative voting power) shall be deemed to be satisfied if the
failure to meet such threshold (or to preserve such relative voting power) is due
solely to the acquisition of voting securities by an employee benefit plan of the
Company, such surviving entity or any subsidiary of such surviving entity;

	 	(iv)	 	any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of
related transactions) of all or substantially all the assets of the Company
approved by the stockholders of the Company shall be consummated; or

	 	(v)	 	within any 24 month period, the persons who were directors of the
Company immediately before the beginning of such period (the “Incumbent
Directors”) shall cease (for any reason other than death) to constitute at
least a majority of the Board or the board of directors of any successor to the
Company, provided that any director who was not a director at the beginning of
such period shall be deemed to be an Incumbent Director if such director (A)
was elected to the Board by, or on the recommendation of or with the approval
of, at least two-thirds of the directors who then qualified as Incumbent
Directors either actually or by prior operation of this clause (v), and (B) was
not designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company
to effect a transaction described in clause (iii) or (iv) of this definition of
the term Change of Control in Section 6(d) of this Agreement.

“Date of Termination” means (i) in the case of a termination of the Employment Period for
which a Notice of Termination is required, the date of receipt of such Notice of
Termination or, if later, the date specified therein, as the case may be, or (ii) in all
other cases, the actual date on which Executive’s employment terminates during the
Employment Period.

“Not Payable” means that a particular benefit shall not be paid or otherwise provided to Executive.

 

15

 

“Notice of Termination” means (i) in the case of a Termination For Cause, a written
notice given by the Company to Executive, within 30 calendar days of the Company’s having
actual knowledge of the events giving rise to such termination, (ii) in the case of a
Termination Without Cause, a written notice given by the Company to Executive at least 30
calendar days before the effective date of such Termination Without Cause, (iii) in the
case of a Voluntary Termination, a written notice given by Executive to the Company at
least 30 calendar days before the effective date of such termination, and (iv) in the
case of a Termination For Good Reason, a written notice given by Executive to the Company
within 180 days of Executive’s having actual knowledge of the events giving rise to such
Termination For Good Reason, and which (A) indicates the specific termination provision
in this Agreement relied upon, (B) sets 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, and (C) if the termination date is other than the date
of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date of this Agreement (which date
shall be not more than 15 days after the giving of such notice). The failure by Executive
to set forth in such Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance that contributes to a
showing of Good Reason shall not waive any right of Executive hereunder or preclude
Executive from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing his rights hereunder.

“Payable” means that a particular benefit shall be paid to Executive in the amount, at
the time, and in the form specified herein.

“Person” has the meaning ascribed to such term in Section 3(a)(9) of the Act, as
supplemented by Section 13(d)(3) of the Act; provided, however, that Person shall not
include (i) the Company, any subsidiary of the Company or any other Person controlled by
the Company, (ii) any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under any employee
benefit plan of the Company or of any subsidiary of the Company, or (iii) a corporation
owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the
same proportions as their ownership of securities of the Company.

“Severance Payment” means a cash amount equal to three times the sum of (i) Executive’s
Base Salary at the rate in effect as of the date on which the Employment Period
terminates, and (ii) Executive’s Target Bonus for such year.

“Termination For Cause” means the Company’s termination of Executive’s employment due to
(i) Executive’s conviction of a felony; (ii) an act or acts of extreme dishonesty or
gross misconduct on Executive’s part which result or are intended to result in material
damage to the Company’s business or reputation; or (iii) repeated material violations by
Executive of his obligations under Section 2 of this Agreement, which violations are demonstrably willful and deliberate on Executive’s
part and which result in material damage to the Company’s business or reputation.

 

16

 

“Termination For Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following after the
occurrence of a Change of Control:

	 	(i)	 	(A)the assignment to Executive of any duties inconsistent in any material adverse
respect with Executive’s position, duties, authority or responsibilities as contemplated
by Section 2 of this Agreement, or (B) any other material adverse change in such position,
including titles, authority or responsibilities;

	 
	 	(ii)	 	any failure by the Company to comply with any of the provisions of Sections 3 and 4
of this Agreement at a level of least equal to that in effect immediately preceding the
Change of Control, other than an insubstantial or inadvertent failure remedied by the
Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by Executive;

	 
	 	(iii)	 	the Company’s requiring Executive to be based at any office or location more than 25
miles from the location at which he performed his services specified under Section 2
hereof immediately prior to the Change of Control, except for travel reasonably required
in the performance of Executive’s responsibilities;

	 
	 	(iv)	 	any failure by the Company to obtain the assumption and agreement to perform this
Agreement by a successor as contemplated by Section 10(d) hereof; or

	 
	 	(v)	 	any attempt by the Company to terminate the Executive’s employment in a Termination
For Cause that is determined in a proceeding pursuant to Section 9 or Section 10 hereof
not to constitute a Termination For Cause.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a termination of Executive’s employment shall not be
treated as a Termination For Good Reason (I) if Executive shall have consented in writing
to the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim of Termination For Good Reason,
or (II) if Executive shall have delivered a Notice of Termination to the Company, and the
facts and circumstances specified therein as providing a basis for such Termination For
Good Reason are cured by the Company within 10 days of its receipt of such Notice of
Termination.

 

17

 

“Vested Benefits Enhancement” means (i) a cash amount equal to the present value, calculated
using a discount rate equal to the then prevailing applicable Federal rate as determined
under Section 1274(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), of the
additional retirement benefits that would have been payable or available to Executive under
any ERPs, based on (A) the age and service Executive would have attained or completed had
Executive continued in the Company’s employ until the third anniversary of the occurrence of the Change of Control, and (B) where
compensation is a relevant factor, his pensionable compensation as of the Date of
Termination, such compensation to include, on the same terms as apply to other executives,
any Severance Payment made to Executive, (ii) solely for purposes of vesting in any benefits
under any ESPs, Executive shall be treated as having continued in the Company’s employ until
the third anniversary of the occurrence of such Change of Control, and (iii) solely for
purposes of determining eligibility for retiree medical benefits under any retirement plan or
any retiree welfare benefit plan, policy or program of the Company or its affiliates, and any
ERPs related thereto, Executive shall be treated as having continued in the Company’s employ
until the third anniversary of the occurrence of such Change of Control and to have retired
on the last day of such period. A Vested Benefits Enhancement shall only be applicable in the
event that Executive’s employment by the Company terminates prior to July 1, 2009.

“Voluntary Termination” means a termination of employment by Executive other than a
Termination For Good Reason, a Termination Due to Disability by Executive, or a Termination
Due to Death.

“Welfare Benefits Continuation” shall have the same meaning as that described in Section 5
hereof, except that the entitlement of Executive and/or his dependents to participation in
the Welfare Benefit Plans shall continue until the third anniversary of the Date of
Termination.

	 	(e)	 	Out-Placement Services. If the Employment Period terminates because of a Termination
Without Cause or a Termination For Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled to out-placement
services, provided by the Company or its designee at the Company’s expense, for 12 months following
the Date of Termination, or such lesser period as the Executive may require such services.

	 	(f)	 	Certain Further Payments by Company.

	 	(i)	 	Tax Reimbursement Payment. In the event that any amount or benefit paid or
distributed to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, taken together with any amounts or
benefits otherwise paid or distributed to Executive by the Company or any affiliate
(collectively, the “Covered Payments”), are or become subject to the tax (the “Excise Tax”)
imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any similar
tax that may hereafter be imposed, the Company shall pay to the Executive at the time
specified in this Section an additional amount (the “Tax Reimbursement Payment”) such that
the net amount retained by the Executive with respect to such Covered Payments, after
deduction of any Excise Tax on the Covered Payments and any Federal, state and local income
tax and other tax on the Tax Reimbursement Payment provided for by this Section, but before
deduction for any Federal, state or local income or employment tax withholding on such
Covered Payments, shall be equal to the amount of the Covered Payments.

 

18

 

	 	(ii)	 	Applicable Rules. For purposes of determining whether any of the Covered
Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax,

	 	(A)	 	such Covered Payments will be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning
of Section 280G of the Code, and all “parachute payments” in excess of the “base
amount” (as defined under Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) shall be treated as subject
to the Excise Tax, unless, and except to the extent that, in the good faith judgment
of the Company’s independent certified public accountants appointed prior to the
Effective Date or tax counsel selected by such accountants (the “Accountants”), the
Company has a reasonable basis to conclude that such Covered Payments (in whole or in
part) either do not constitute “parachute payments” or represent reasonable
compensation for personal services actually rendered (within the meaning of Section
280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code) in excess of the “base amount,” or such “parachute
payments” are otherwise not subject to such Excise Tax, and

	 	(B)	 	the value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be
determined by the Accountants in accordance with the principles of Section 280G of the
Code.

	 	(iii)	 	Additional Rules. For purposes of determining the amount of the Tax Reimbursement
Payment, the Executive shall be deemed to pay: (A) Federal income taxes at the highest applicable
marginal rate of Federal income taxation for the calendar year in which the Tax Reimbursement
Payment is to be made, and (B) any applicable state and local income and other taxes at the highest
applicable marginal rate of taxation for the calendar year in which the Tax Reimbursement Payment
is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in Federal incomes taxes which could be obtained from
the deduction of such state or local taxes if paid in such year.

	 	(iv)	 	Repayment or Additional Payment in Certain Circumstances.

	 	(A)	 	Repayment. In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined by
the Accountants or pursuant to any proceeding or negotiations with the Internal Revenue
Service to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder in calculating the Tax
Reimbursement Payment made, Executive shall repay to the Company, at the time that the
amount of such reduction in the Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of such
prior Tax Reimbursement Payment that would not have been paid if such lesser Excise Tax
had been applied in initially calculating such Tax Reimbursement Payment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any portion of the Tax Reimbursement
Payment to be repaid to the Company has been paid to any Federal, state or local tax
authority, repayment thereof shall not be required until actual refund or credit of
such portion has been made to Executive by the applicable tax authority. Executive and the Company shall mutually agree upon
the course of action to be pursued (and the method of allocating the expenses
thereof) if Executive’s good faith claim for refund or credit is denied.

 

19

 

	 	(B)	 	Additional Tax Reimbursement Payment. In the event that the Excise Tax is later
determined by the Accountants or pursuant to any proceeding or negotiations with the
Internal Revenue Service to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the
Tax Reimbursement Payment is made (including, but not limited to, by reason of any payment
the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Tax Reimbursement
Payment), the Company shall make an additional Tax Reimbursement Payment in respect of such
excess (plus any interest or penalty payable with respect to such excess) at the time that
the amount of such excess is finally determined.

	 	(v)	 	Timing for Tax Reimbursement Payment. The Tax Reimbursement Payment (or portion
thereof) provided for in this Section 6 shall be paid to Executive not later than 10
business days following the payment of the Covered Payments; provided, however, that if the
amount of such Tax Reimbursement Payment (or portion thereof) cannot be finally determined
on or before the date on which payment is due, the Company shall pay to Executive by such
date an amount estimated in good faith by the Accountants to be the minimum amount of such
Tax Reimbursement Payment and shall pay the remainder of such Tax Reimbursement Payment
(together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as soon
as the amount thereof can be determined, but in no event later than 45 calendar days after
payment of the related Covered Payment. To the extent that the amount of the estimated Tax
Reimbursement Payment exceeds the amount subsequently determined to have been due, Executive
shall repay such excess to the Company on the fifth business day after written demand by the
Company for payment.

7. Timing of Payments.

Accrued Salary shall be paid no later than 10 days following the termination of the Employment
Period. Any Severance Payment and Vested Benefits Enhancement, together with interest thereon based
on prevailing short term rates for the period between the date of payment and the termination of
the Employment Period, shall be paid during the 10 day period following the six month anniversary
of the termination of the Employment Period. Except as provided in the definition of “Payable” in
Section 5(d), a Pro-Rata Target Bonus, which payment is attributable to services performed by
Executive during the calendar year in which the Performance Period terminates, shall be paid as
follows: (a) if the Employment Period terminates in the first, second or third calendar quarter of
any particular calendar year, then the Pro-Rata Target Bonus shall be paid no later than 10 days
following the termination of the Employment Period; or (b) if the Employment Period terminates in
the fourth calendar quarter of any particular calendar year, then
the Pro-Rata Target Bonus shall be paid no later than the same time as similar awards are paid to
other executives participating in the plans or programs under which the awards are paid, but in no
event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the end of such fourth calendar quarter.
Vested Benefits and Equity Awards shall be paid no later than the time for payment Determined Under
the Applicable Plan except as otherwise expressly superseded or modified by this Agreement. Tax
Reimbursement Payments shall be paid at the time specified in Section 6 hereof.

In applying the provisions of Sections 5 and 6, continued participation in the health insurance
benefit plans shall be in two parts: (i) the first part shall continue from the date of termination
to the end of the 18-month period during which Executive would have been eligible for continuation
coverage under Section 601 et. seq. of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended, and (ii) the second part shall commence on the first day after the end of the period
described in subclause (i) and shall end on the last day of the applicable Welfare Benefits
Continuation period. Continued participation in Welfare Benefits Continuation provided under
Section 6 other than with respect to health benefits shall also be provided in two parts: (i) the
first part shall continue from the Date of Termination until the second anniversary of Executive’s
Date of Termination, and (ii) the second part shall commence on the day immediately following such
second anniversary and continuing until the end of the applicable Continuation period. To the
extent Welfare Benefits Continuation consists of reimbursement of expenses, such reimbursement
shall be paid within 60 days of the submission of reasonably satisfactory evidence of such
expenses, in accordance with the generally applicable requirements under the applicable
arrangement, but in no event later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in
which such expenses are incurred. Any amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement of welfare
benefits or in-kind benefits provided during any calendar year shall not affect the expenses
eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other calendar year.

Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, for purposes of Sections 5 and 6,
Executive shall not be deemed to have had a termination of employment unless Executive shall have
also had a separation from service, as determined in accordance with any policies or practices that
the Company shall adopt in accordance with, or as otherwise determined pursuant to, Section 409A of
the Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder.

8. Full Discharge of Company Obligations.

Except as expressly provided in the last sentence of this Section 8, the amounts payable to
Executive pursuant to Section 5 following termination of his employment (including amounts payable
with respect to Vested Benefits) shall be in full and complete satisfaction of Executive’s rights
under Section 5 of this Agreement and any other claims he may have in respect of his employment by
the Company or any of its affiliates. Such amounts shall constitute liquidated damages with respect
to any and all such rights and claims and, upon Executive’s receipt of such amounts, the Company
shall be released and discharged from any and all liability to Executive in connection with Section
5 of this Agreement or otherwise in connection with Executive’s
employment with the Company and its affiliates. Nothing in this Section 8 shall be construed to
release the Company from its obligation to indemnify Executive as provided in Section 4(e) hereof.

 

21

 

9. Noncompetition, Confidentiality and Other Covenants.

By and in consideration of the compensation and benefits to be provided by the Company hereunder,
including the severance arrangements set forth herein, Executive agrees to the following:

	 	(a)	 	Noncompetition. During the Employment Period and until the earlier of: (i) the last
day of the one year period following any Voluntary Termination of the Employment Period by
Executive pursuant to Section 5 hereof, or (ii) the date a Change of Control occurs (the
“Restriction Period”), Executive shall not become associated with any entity, whether as a
principal, partner, employee, agent, consultant, shareholder (other than as a holder, or a member
of a group which is a holder, of not in excess of 1% of the outstanding voting shares of any
publicly traded company) or in any other relationship or capacity, paid or unpaid, that is
actively engaged in any geographic area in any business which is in competition with the business
of the Company. The Company shall, in its sole discretion, have the right to enforce or waive the
terms of this provision in connection with the Restriction Period. If the Company exercises its
right to enforce this provision for the Restriction Period, the Company will provide Executive
with written notice of its intent to enforce and agrees to pay Executive one year of Executive’s
then current Base Salary and one year of Executive’s then current Target Bonus as compensation
for the Restriction Period. Executive agrees that the terms of the Restriction Period are
reasonable and that this compensation is above and beyond any amounts necessary to support the
terms of the Restriction Period a set forth herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the terms of this Section 9(a) shall not apply in the event of any termination of
employment following a Change of Control as provided for in Section 6 of this Agreement.

	 	(b)	 	Confidentiality. Without the prior written consent of the Company, except to the
extent required by an order of a court having competent jurisdiction or under subpoena from an
appropriate government agency, Executive shall not disclose to any third person, or permit the
use of for the benefit of any person or any entity other than The Company or its affiliates, any
trade secrets, customer lists, information regarding product development, marketing plans, sales
plans, management organization information (including data and other information relating to
members of the Board and management), operating policies or manuals, business plans, financial
records, or other financial, organizational, commercial, business, sales, marketing, technical,
product or employee information relating to the Company or its affiliates or information
designated as confidential, proprietary, and/or a trade secret, or any other information relating
to the Company or its affiliates that Executive knows from the circumstances, in good faith and
good conscience, should be treated as confidential, or any information that the Company or its
affiliates may receive belonging to customers, agents or others who do business with the Company
or its affiliates, except to the extent that any such information previously has been disclosed
to the public by the Company or is in the public domain (other than by reason of Executive’s
violation of this Section 9(b)).

 

22

 

	 	(c)	 	Non-Solicitation of Employees. During the Employment Period and until the earlier of:
(i) the last day of the one year period following any Voluntary Termination of the Employment
Period by Executive pursuant to Section 5 hereof, or (ii) the date a Change of Control occurs,
Executive shall not directly or indirectly solicit, encourage or induce any employee of the
Company or its affiliates to terminate employment with such entity, and shall not directly or
indirectly, either individually or as owner, agent, employee, consultant or otherwise, employ or
offer employment to any person who is or was employed by the Company or an affiliate thereof
unless such person shall have ceased to be employed by such entity for a period of at least six
months. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the terms of this Section 9(c) shall not
apply in the event of any termination of employment following a Change of Control as provided for
in Section 6 of this Agreement.

	 	(d)	 	Company Property. Except as expressly provided herein, promptly following any
termination of the Employment Period, Executive shall return to the Company all property of the
Company, and all copies thereof in Executive’s possession or under his control.

	 	(e)	 	Injunctive Relief and Other Remedies with Respect to Covenants. Executive
acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and obligations of Executive with respect to
noncompetition, confidentiality, nonsolicitation, and Company property relate to special, unique
and extraordinary matters and that a violation of any of the terms of such covenants and
obligations will cause the Company irreparable injury for which adequate remedies are not
available at law. Therefore, Executive agrees that the Company (i) shall be entitled to an
injunction, restraining order or such other equitable relief (without the requirement to post
bond) restraining Executive from committing any violation of the covenants and obligations
contained in this Section 9, and (ii) shall have no further obligation to make any payments to
Executive hereunder following any material violation of the covenants and obligations contained
in this Section 9. These remedies are cumulative and are in addition to any other rights and
remedies the Company may have at law or in equity. In connection with the foregoing provisions of
this Section 9, Executive represents that his economic means and circumstances are such that such
provisions will not prevent him from providing for himself and his family on a basis satisfactory
to him. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall an asserted violation of the provisions
of this Section constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to
the Executive under this Agreement following a Change of Control.

 

23

 

10. Miscellaneous.

	 	(a)	 	Survival. All of the provisions of Sections 5 (relating to termination of the
Employment Period prior to a Change of Control), 6 (relating to termination of the Employment
Period following a Change of Control), 9 (relating to noncompetition, confidentiality,
nonsolicitation and Company property), 10(b) (relating to arbitration), 10(c) (relating to
legal fees) and 10(n) (relating to governing law) of this Agreement shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.

	 	(b)	 	Arbitration. Except as provided in Section 9, any dispute or controversy arising
under or in connection with this Agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration.
Such arbitration shall be held in the city of Hartford, Connecticut and except to the
extent inconsistent with this Agreement, shall be conducted in accordance with the
Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect at the time
of the arbitration, and otherwise in accordance with the principles that would be applied
by a court of law or equity. The arbitrator shall be acceptable to both the Company and
Executive. If the parties cannot agree on an acceptable arbitrator, the dispute or
controversy shall be heard by a panel of three arbitrators; one appointed by each of the
parties and the third appointed by the other two arbitrators. The Company and Executive
further agree that they will abide by and perform any award or awards rendered by the
arbitrators and that a judgment may be entered on any award or awards rendered by any
state or federal court having jurisdiction over the Company or Executive or any of their
respective property.

	 	(c)	 	Legal Fees and Expenses. In any contest (whether initiated by Executive or by the
Company) as to the validity, enforceability or interpretation of any provision of this
Agreement, the Company shall pay Executive’s legal expenses (or cause such expenses to be
paid) including, without limitation, his reasonable attorney’s fees, on a quarterly basis,
upon presentation of proof of such expenses in a form acceptable to the Company, provided
that Executive shall reimburse the Company for such amounts, plus simple interest thereon at
the 90-day United States Treasury Bill rate as in effect from time to time, compounded
annually, if Executive shall not prevail, in whole or in part, as to any material issue as to
the validity, enforceability or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

	 	(d)	 	Successors; Binding Effect. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the Company and its successors. The Company shall require any successor to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, whether direct or indirect, by
purchase, merger, consolidation, acquisition of stock, or otherwise, by an agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to Executive, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the
same manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to perform the Agreement if no
such succession had taken place. This Agreement is personal to the Executive and, without the prior
written consent of the Company, shall not be assignable by Executive otherwise than by will or the
law of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by
Executive’s legal representatives.

	 	(e)	 	Assignment. Except as provided in Section 10(d), neither this Agreement nor any
of the rights or obligations hereunder shall be assigned or delegated by any party hereto
without the prior written consent of the other party.

 

24

 

	 	(f)	 	Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties hereto with respect to the matters referred to herein. This Agreement supersedes and
replaces any prior employment or severance agreement or arrangement between the Company and
Executive. No other agreement relating to the terms of Executive’s employment by the Company,
oral or otherwise, shall be binding between the parties unless it is in writing and signed by
the party against whom enforcement is sought. There are no promises, representations,
inducements or statements between the parties other than those that are expressly contained
herein. Executive acknowledges that he is entering into this Agreement of his own free will
and accord, and with no duress, and that he has read this Agreement and that he understands
it and its legal consequences.

	 	(g)	 	Severability; Reformation. In the event that one or more of the provisions of this
Agreement shall become invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be
affected thereby. In the event of a determination that any of the provisions of Section 9(a),
Section 9(b) or Section 9(c) are not enforceable in accordance with their terms, Executive
and the Company agree that such Section shall be reformed to make such Section enforceable in
a manner that provides the Company the maximum rights permitted at law.

	 	(h)	 	Waiver. Waiver by any party hereto of any breach or default by the other party of
any of the terms of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any other breach or
default, whether similar to or different from the breach or default waived. No waiver of any
provision of this Agreement shall be implied from any course of dealing between the parties
hereto or from any failure by either party hereto to assert its or his rights hereunder on
any occasion or series of occasions.

	 	(i)	 	Notices. Any notice required or desired to be delivered under this Agreement
shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally, by courier service, by registered
mail, return receipt requested, or by telecopy and shall be effective upon actual receipt by
the party to which such notice shall be directed, and shall be addressed as follows (or to
such other address as the party entitled to notice shall hereafter designate in accordance
with the terms hereof):

25

 

	 	(j)	 	Amendments. This Agreement may not be altered, modified or amended except by a
written instrument signed by each of the parties hereto, provided, however, that the Company
may unilaterally amend this Agreement at any time as may be necessary, in its reasonable
judgment, to comply with law or to avoid payments to the Executive under the Agreement being
subject to an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement is intended to
comply with Section 409A of the Code, and no action taken by the Company shall be construed
in a manner that would result in the imposition of an additional tax on Executive under
Section 409A of the Code.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other plan or
agreement, if the Company and or any of its subsidiaries participates in the Troubled
Assets Relief Program or any similar program under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act
of 2008 (“EESA”) and Executive is determined to be a “senior executive officer” within the
meaning of EESA, Executive agrees that this Agreement and any other compensation
arrangements with the Company and its subsidiaries shall be deemed modified to the extent
necessary to comply with the provisions of EESA and all related U.S. Treasury Department
and Internal Revenue Service regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder, including but
not limited to the following: (i) bonus and incentive compensation arrangements may be
limited to the extent necessary to ensure that senior executive officers are not encouraged
to take risks that are unnecessary or excessive, (ii) all bonus and incentive compensation
shall, to the extent required by EESA, be subject to recovery or “clawback” by the Company
if the payments were based on materially inaccurate financial statements or any other
materially inaccurate performance metric criteria, (iii) any amounts treated as “golden
parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code shall be limited to the
extent required by EESA, and (iv) Executive hereby waives all rights to compensation the
payment of which is prohibited by EESA. Executive shall execute such amendments to this or
any other applicable agreement or plan or arrangement as the Company shall determine to be
necessary to affect the foregoing sentence. To the extent required by EESA or the U.S.
Treasury Department, Executive hereby agrees to grant to the U.S. Treasury Department a
waiver releasing the U.S. Treasury Department from any claims that Executive may have as a
result of the issuance of any regulations which modify the terms of any benefit plans,
arrangements or agreements to eliminate any provisions that would not be in compliance with
the requirements of Section 111 of EESA and any guidance or regulations promulgated
thereunder. Executive further hereby agrees that this Agreement and any other compensation
arrangements with the Company and its subsidiaries shall be deemed modified to the extent
necessary to comply with the provisions of programs under future legislation similar to
EESA and all related regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder, and to cooperate with
the Company’s participation in any such programs.

	 	(k)	 	Headings. Headings to provisions of this Agreement are for the convenience of the
parties only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation
hereof.

	 	(l)	 	Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

	 	(m)	 	Withholding. Any payments provided for herein shall be reduced by any
amounts required to be withheld by the Company from time to time under applicable
Federal, State or local income or employment tax laws or similar statutes or other
provisions of law then in effect.

	 	(n)	 	Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State
of Connecticut, without reference to principles of conflicts or choice of law under
which the law of any other jurisdiction would apply.

“IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed by its duly
authorized officer, and Executive has hereunto set his hand, as of the day and year first above
written.
