     AGREEMENT, is made effective January 1, 2007 (the “Effective Date’) and entered into as of the
9th day of January, 2007 by and between NYMAGIC, INC., a New York corporation (together with its
successors and assigns, the “Company”), and George R. Trumbull, III (the “Executive”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to employ the Executive pursuant to an agreement
embodying the terms of such employment (this “Agreement”) and the Executive desires to enter into
this Agreement and to accept such employment, subject to the terms and provisions of this
Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is mutually acknowledged, the Company
and the Executive (individually a “Party” and together the “Parties”) agree as follows:

     1. Term of Employment.

          The term of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall commence on the Effective
Date and end on December 31, 2007 (the “Term of Employment”), unless terminated earlier in
accordance herewith.

     2. Position, Duties and Responsibilities.

          (a) Generally. The Executive shall serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors (the
“Board”) of the Company. For so long as he is serving on the Board, the Executive agrees to serve
as a member of any committee of the Board to which he is elected. In any and all such capacities,
the Executive shall report only to the Board. The Executive shall have and perform such duties,
responsibilities, and authorities as are customary for the Chairman of corporations of similar size
and businesses as the Company as they may exist from time to time and as are consistent with such
position and status. The Executive shall devote approximately twenty (20) hours per week and his
best efforts, abilities, experience, and talent to the position of Chairman of the Company. In the
event of termination of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement, the Executive’s membership
on the Board and any committees thereof shall also be terminated effective on the date of
termination of Executive’s employment.

          (b) Other Activities. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, nothing in
this Agreement shall preclude the Executive from (i) serving on the boards of directors of a
reasonable number of other corporations or the boards of a reasonable number of trade
associations and/or charitable organizations, (ii) engaging in charitable activities and

 

community affairs, (iii) managing his personal investments and affairs, provided that such
activities do not materially interfere with the proper performance of his duties and
responsibilities under this Agreement and (iv) performing consulting services for Mariner
Partners, Inc. , or any of its successors, affiliates, stockholders or members (collectively,
“Mariner”).

          (c) Place of Employment. The Executive’s principal place of employment shall be the
Company’s principal corporate office.

     3. Base Salary.

          The Executive shall be paid an annualized salary, payable in accordance with the regular
payroll practices of the Company, of $250,000 (“Base Salary”).

     4. Annual Incentive Awards.

          The Executive shall participate in the Company’s annual incentive compensation plan with a
target Annual Incentive Award opportunity of 50% of Base Salary and a maximum Annual Incentive
Award opportunity of 100% of Base Salary (the “Annual Incentive Award”). Payment of the
Executive’s Annual Incentive Award shall be made within 2 months of the Company’s fiscal year-end.

     5. Long-Term Incentive Program.

          (a) Grant of Restricted Shares. On the date of the execution of this Agreement the
Executive shall be granted 5,000 Restricted Shares under the LTIP, which shall vest on December 31,
2007, contingent upon the Executive’s continued employment with the Company on that date (the
“Restricted Share Grant”).

     6. Employee Benefit Programs.

          (a) General Benefits. During the Term of Employment as Chairman, the Executive shall
be entitled to participate in such employee benefit plans and programs of the Company as are made
available to the Company’s senior level executives or to its employees generally, as such plans or
programs may be in effect from time to time, including, without limitation, health, medical,
dental, long-term disability, travel accident and life insurance plans.

          (b) Deferral of Compensation. The Executive shall be permitted to elect to defer
receipt, pursuant to written deferral election terms and forms (the “Deferral Election Forms”)
consistent with Section 409A of the Code, as hereinafter defined, of all or a specified portion of
his annual incentive compensation under Section 4 and his long term incentive compensation under
Section 5; provided, however, that such deferrals shall not reduce the Executive’s total cash
compensation in any calendar year below the sum of (i) the FICA maximum taxable wage base plus (ii)
the amount needed, on an after-tax basis, to enable the Executive to pay the 1.45% Medicare tax
imposed on his wages in excess of such FICA maximum taxable wage base.

2

 

          The Company and the Executive agree that compensation deferred pursuant to this Section 6(b)
shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable; however, the Executive acknowledges that his rights to
the deferred compensation provided for in this Section 6(b) shall be no greater than those of a
general unsecured creditor of the Company, and that such rights may not be pledged, collateralized,
encumbered, hypothecated, or liable for or subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of the
Executive, or be assignable or transferable by the Executive, otherwise than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution, provided that the Executive may designate one or more beneficiaries to
receive any payment of such amounts in the event of his death.

     7. Disability.

          (a) During the Term of Employment, the Executive shall be entitled to disability coverage as
described in this Section 7(a). In the event the Executive becomes disabled, as that term is
defined under the Company’s Long-Term Disability Plan, the Executive shall be entitled to receive
pursuant to the Company’s Long-Term Disability Plan or otherwise, and in place of his Base Salary,
an amount equal to 60% (or at the rate then applicable) of his Base Salary, at the annual rate in
effect on the commencement date of his eligibility for the Company’s long-term disability benefits
(“Commencement Date”) for a period beginning on the Commencement Date and ending with the
Executive’s attainment of age 65. If (i) the Executive ceases to be disabled during the Term of
Employment (as determined in accordance with the terms of the Long-Term Disability Plan), (ii) the
position set forth in Section 2(a) are then vacant and (iii) the Company requests in writing that
he resume such position, he may elect to resume such position by written notice to the Company
within 15 days after the Company delivers its request. If he resumes such position, he shall
thereafter be entitled to his Base Salary at the annual rate in effect on the Commencement Date
and, for the year he resumes his position, a pro rata Annual Incentive Award at 75% of Base Salary
for such year. If he ceases to be disabled during the Term of Employment and does not resume his
position in accordance with the preceding sentence, he shall be treated as if he voluntarily
terminated his employment pursuant to Section 9(e) as of the date the Executive ceases to be
disabled. If the Executive is not offered such position after he ceases to be disabled during the
Term of Employment, he shall be treated as if his employment was terminated Without Cause pursuant
to Section 9(c) as of the date the Executive ceases to be disabled.

          (b) The Executive shall be entitled to a pro rata Annual Incentive Award at 75% of Base Salary
for the year in which the Commencement Date occurs, payable in accordance with the terms of the
annual incentive compensation plan and at the time set forth in Section 4 hereof. The Executive
shall not be entitled to any Annual Incentive Award with respect to the period following the
Commencement Date. If the Executive recommences his position in accordance with Section 7(a), he
shall be entitled to a pro rata Annual Incentive Award at 75% of Base Salary for the year he
resumes such position and shall thereafter be entitled to Annual Incentive Awards in accordance
with Section 4 hereof.

          (c) During the period the Executive is receiving disability benefits pursuant to Section 7(a)
above, he shall continue to be treated as an employee for purposes of all

3

 

employee benefits and entitlements in which he was participating on the Commencement Date,
including without limitation, the benefits and entitlements referred to in Section 5 and 6 above,
except that the Executive shall not be entitled to receive any annual salary increases or any new
long-term incentive plan grants or elect to defer compensation following the Commencement Date.

     8. Reimbursement of Business and Other Expenses: Perquisites.

          (a) The Executive is authorized to incur reasonable expenses in carrying out his duties and
responsibilities under this Agreement, and the Company shall promptly reimburse him on a monthly
basis for all such business expenses incurred in connection therewith in the prior month, subject
to documentation in accordance with the Company’s policy.

9. Termination of Employment.

          (a) Termination Due to Death or Disability. The Term of Employment shall be
terminated immediately upon the death or disability (as such term is defined under the Company’s
Long-Term Disability Plan) of the Executive. In the event the Executive’s employment with the
Company is terminated due to his death or disability, the Executive, his estate or his
beneficiaries, as the case may be, shall be entitled to and their sole remedies under this
Agreement shall be:

	 	(i)	 	Base Salary through the date of death or the

lump sum 15 days following the Executive’s death or the Commencement
Date, as the case may be;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	pro rata Annual Incentive Award at 75% of Base
Salary for the year in which the Executive’s death, or the Commencement
Date, as the case may be, occurs, which shall be payable in a lump sum
30 days after his death or on the first day following the six-month
anniversary of the Executive’s termination of employment by reason of
disability;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	elimination of all restrictions on any
Restricted Share Grants or deferred stock awards outstanding at the
time of his death, or the Commencement Date, as the case may be;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	immediate vesting of all outstanding stock
options and the right to exercise such stock options as is provided in
any stock option award agreement to which the Executive is a party;
	 
	 	(v)	 	the balance of any Annual Incentive Awards
earned as of December 31 of the prior year (but not yet paid), which
shall be

4

 

	 	 	 	paid in a single lump sum and in accordance with the terms of such
awards;
	 
	 	(vi)	 	settlement of all deferred compensation
arrangements in accordance with the Executive’s duly executed Deferral

Company.

          (b) Termination by the Company for Cause.

	 	(i)	 	The Term of Employment may be terminated by the

restatement of the Company’s financial statements pursuant to
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

5

 

For purposes of this Agreement, an act or failure to act on the Executive’s part shall be
considered “willful” if it was done or omitted to be done by him not in good faith, and shall not
include any act or failure to act resulting from any incapacity of the Executive.

	 	(ii)	 	A termination for Cause shall not take effect
unless the provisions of this paragraph (ii) are complied with. The

particular act or acts or failure or failures to act that constitute
the grounds on which the proposed termination for Cause is based and

acts or failure or failures to act. The Executive shall have 20 days

before the Board at which the Executive is entitled to appear. Such
hearing shall be held within 25 days of such notice to the Executive,

from the Company of the intention to terminate him for Cause. If,
within five days following such hearing, the Executive is furnished
written notice by the Board confirming that, in its judgment, grounds
for Cause on the basis of the original notice exist, he shall thereupon
be terminated for Cause.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	In the event the Company terminates the
Executive’s employment for Cause, he shall be entitled to and his sole

	 	(C)	 	settlement of all deferred
compensation arrangements in accordance with the Executive’s
duly executed Deferral Election Forms; and

	 	(ii)	 	Base Salary, at the annualized rate in effect

prior to such reduction), continued for a period of 12 months following
such termination payable in 12 equal monthly installments beginning on
the first day following the six month anniversary after the date of the
Executive’s termination of employment (the 12 month period following
termination of employment is referred to as the “Severance Period”);
	 
	 	(iii)	 	pro rata Annual Incentive Award at 75% of Base
Salary for the year in which termination occurs, payable in a lump sum
payable on the first day following the six-month anniversary after the

	 	(B)	 	the date, or dates, he receives
equivalent coverage and benefits under the plans and programs
of a subsequent employer;

	 	 	 	provided, however, to the extent that any such benefits cannot be
provided on a non-taxable basis to the Executive and the provision
thereof would cause any part of the benefits to be subject to
additional taxes and interest under Section 409A of the Code, then
the provision of such benefits shall be deferred to the earliest
date upon which such benefits can be provided without being subject
to such additional taxes and interest; and,
	 
	 	(x)	 	other or additional benefits then due or
earned, payable in accordance with applicable plans and programs of the

disability.

          “Constructive Termination Without Cause” shall mean a termination of the Executive’s

the Executive’s written consent, of one or more of the following events (except as a result of a
prior termination):

written notice thereof from the Executive; or
	 
	 	(E)	 	a relocation of the corporate
offices of the Company outside a 35-mile radius of New York,
New York, or Hartford Connecticut.

     Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained in this Agreement, a Constructive Termination

constitute Constructive Termination Without Cause under this Agreement arises out of or in
connection with any transaction between the Company and Mariner.

          (d) Termination Upon a Change of Control. The Term of Employment shall be terminated
immediately upon a Change of Control (as defined below). In the event the Executive’s employment
with the Company is terminated due to a Change of Control, the Executive shall be entitled to and

Control, which shall be paid in a single lump sum 15 days following the

shall be paid in a single lump sum and in accordance with the terms of
such awards;
	 
	 	(vi)	 	settlement of all deferred compensation
arrangements in accordance with the Executive’s duly executed Deferral
Election Forms; and
	 
	 	(vii)	 	other or additional benefits then due or
earned, payable in accordance with applicable plans and programs of the
Company.

9

 

          A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if:

	 	(i)	 	any Person (other than the Company, any trustee
or other fiduciary holding securities under any employee benefit plan
of the Company, or any company owned, directly or indirectly, by the
stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the occurrence with
respect to which the evaluation is being made in substantially the same
proportions as their ownership of the common stock of the Company)
becomes the Beneficial Owner (except that a Person shall be deemed to
be the Beneficial Owner of all shares that any such Person has the
right to acquire pursuant to any agreement or arrangement or upon
exercise of conversion rights, warrants or options or otherwise,
without regard to the sixty day period referred to in Rule 13d-3 under
the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
or any Significant Subsidiary (as defined below), representing 50% or
more of the combined voting power of the Company’s or such subsidiary’s
then outstanding securities;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	during any period of two consecutive years,
individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board,
and any new director (other than a director designated by a person who
has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction
described in clause (i), (iii), or (iv) of this paragraph) whose
election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s
stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the
directors then still in office who either were directors at the
beginning of the two-year period or whose election or nomination for
election was previously so approved but excluding for this purpose any
such new director whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result
of either an actual or threatened election contest (as such terms are
used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange
Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents
by or on behalf of an individual, corporation, partnership, group,
associate or other entity or Person other than the Board, cease for any
reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	the consummation of a merger or consolidation
of the Company or any subsidiary owning directly or indirectly all or
substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company (a
“Significant Subsidiary”) with any other entity, other than a merger or
consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the
Company or a Significant Subsidiary outstanding immediately prior
thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by
being converted into voting securities of the

10

 

	 	 	 	surviving or resulting entity) more than 50% of the combined voting
power of the surviving or resulting entity outstanding immediately
after such merger or consolidation;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	the consummation of a plan or agreement for the
sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated
assets of the Company (other than such a sale or disposition
immediately after which such assets will be owned directly or
indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same
proportions as their ownership of the common stock of the Company
immediately prior to such sale or disposition) in which case the Board
shall determine the effective date of the Change in Control resulting
therefrom; or
	 
	 	(v)	 	any other event occurs which the Board
determines, in its discretion, would materially alter the structure of
the Company or its ownership.

     For purposes of this definition:

	 	(A)	 	The term “Beneficial Owner”
shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Rule 13d-3
under the Exchange Act (including any successor to such Rule).
	 
	 	(B)	 	The term “Exchange Act” means
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to
time, or any successor act thereto.
	 
	 	(C)	 	The term “Person” shall have
the meaning ascribed to such term in Section 3(a)(9) of the
Exchange Act and used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) thereof,
including “group” as defined in Section 14(d) thereof.

     Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained in this Agreement, a Change in Control shall
not have occurred if the occurrence of an event which would otherwise constitute a Change in
Control under this Agreement arises out of or in connection with any transaction between the
Company and Mariner.

          (e) Voluntary Termination. In the event of a termination of employment by the
Executive on his own initiative after delivery of 10 business days advance written notice, other
than a termination due to death, disability or a Constructive Termination Without Cause, the
Executive shall have the same entitlements as provided in Section 9(b)(iii) above for a termination
for Cause. Notwithstanding any implication to the contrary, the Executive shall not have the right
to terminate his employment with the Company during the Term of Employment except in the event of a
Constructive Termination Without Cause, and any voluntary

11

 

termination of employment during the Term of Employment in violation of this Agreement shall be
considered a material breach.

          (f) No Mitigation; No Offset. In the event of any termination of employment, the
Executive shall be under no obligation to seek other employment and, except as provided in Section
9(c)(viii), amounts due the Executive under this Agreement shall not be offset by any remuneration
attributable to any subsequent employment that he may obtain.

          (g) Nature of Payments. Any amounts due under this Section 9 are in the nature of
severance payments considered to be reasonable by the Company and are not in the nature of a
penalty.

          (h) No Further Liability; Release. In the event of the Executive’s termination of
employment, payment made and performance by the Company in accordance with this Section 9 shall
operate to fully discharge and release the Company and its directors, officers, employees,
subsidiaries, affiliates, stockholders, successors, assigns, agents and representatives from any
further obligation or liability with respect to the Executive’s rights under this Agreement. Other
than payment and performance under this Section 9, the Company and its directors, officers,
employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, stockholders, successors, assigns, agents and representatives
shall have no further obligation or liability to the Executive or any other person under this
Agreement in the event of the Executive’s termination of employment. The Company shall have the
right to condition the payment of any severance or other amounts pursuant to this Section 9 upon
the delivery by the Executive to the Company of a release in the form satisfactory to the Company
releasing any and all claims the Executive may have against the Company and its directors,
officers, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, stockholders, successors, assigns, agents and
representatives arising out of this Agreement.

     10. Confidentiality: Cooperation with Regard to Litigation; Non-Disparagement; Return of
Company Materials.

          (a) During the Term of Employment and thereafter, the Executive shall not, without the prior
written consent of the Company, disclose to anyone (except in good faith in the ordinary course of
business to a person who will be advised by the Executive to keep such information confidential) or
make use of any Confidential Information, except in the performance of his duties hereunder or when
required to do so by legal process, by any governmental agency having supervisory authority over
the business of the Company or by any administrative or legislative body (including a committee
thereof) that requires him to divulge, disclose or make accessible such information. In the event
that the Executive is so ordered, he shall give prompt written notice to the Company in order to
allow the Company the opportunity to object to or otherwise resist such order.

          (b) During the Term of Employment and thereafter, the Executive shall not disclose the
existence or contents of this Agreement beyond what is disclosed in the proxy statement or
documents filed with the government unless and to the extent such disclosure is required by law, by
a governmental agency, or in a document required by law to be filed with a governmental agency or
in connection with enforcement of his rights under this Agreement. In

12

 

the event that disclosure is so required, the Executive shall give prompt written notice to the
Company in order to allow the Company the opportunity to object to or otherwise resist such
requirement. This restriction shall not apply to such disclosure by him to members of his
immediate family, his tax, legal or financial advisors, any lender, or tax authorities, or to
potential future employers to the extent necessary, each of whom shall be advised not to disclose
such information.

          (c) “Confidential Information” shall mean (i) all information concerning the business of the
Company or any Subsidiary including information relating to any of their products, product
development, trade secrets, customers, suppliers, finances, and business plans and strategies, and
(ii) information regarding the organization structure and the names, titles, status, compensation,
benefits and other proprietary employment-related aspects of the employees of the Company and the
Company’s employment practices. Excluded from the definition of Confidential Information is
information (A) that is or becomes part of the public domain, other than through the breach of this
Agreement by the Executive or (B) regarding the Company’s business or industry properly acquired by
the Executive in the course of his career as an executive in the Company’s industry and independent
of the Executive’s employment by the Company. For this purpose, information known or available
generally within the trade or industry of the Company or any Subsidiary shall be deemed to be known
or available to the public.

          (d) “Subsidiary” shall mean any corporation controlled directly or indirectly by the Company.

          (e) The Executive agrees to cooperate with the Company, during the Term of Employment and
thereafter (including following the Executive’s termination of employment for any reason), by
making himself reasonably available to testify on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in any
action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, and to
assist the Company, or any Subsidiary, in any such action, suit, or proceeding, by providing
information and meeting and consulting with the Board or its representatives or counsel, or
representatives or counsel to the Company, or any Subsidiary as requested; provided, however that
the same does not materially interfere with his then current professional activities. The Company
agrees to reimburse the Executive on a monthly basis for all expenses actually incurred in the
prior month in connection with his provision of testimony or assistance.

          (f) The Executive agrees that, during the Term of Employment and thereafter (including
following the Executive’s termination of employment for any reason) he will not make statements or
representations, or otherwise communicate, directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or
otherwise, or take any action which may, directly or indirectly, disparage the Company or any
Subsidiary or their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, businesses or reputations.
The Company agrees that, during the Term of Employment and thereafter (including following the
Executive’s termination of employment for any reason) the Company will not make statements or
representations, or otherwise communicate, directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or
otherwise, or take any action which may directly or indirectly, disparage the Executive or his
business or reputation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing

13

 

in this Agreement shall preclude either the Executive or the Company from making truthful
statements or disclosures that are required by applicable law, regulation, or legal process.

          (g) Upon any termination of employment, the Executive agrees to deliver any Company property
and any documents, notes, drawings, specifications, computer software, data and other materials of
any nature pertaining to any Confidential Information that are held by the Executive and will not
take any of the foregoing, or any reproduction of any of the foregoing, that is embodied in any
tangible medium of expression, provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Executive from
retaining his personal phone directories and rolodexes.

     11. Non-competition.

          (a) During the Restriction Period (as defined in Section 11(b) below), the Executive shall not
engage in Competition with the Company or any Subsidiary. “Competition” shall mean engaging in any
activity, except as provided below, for a Competitor of the Company or any Subsidiary, whether as
an employee, consultant, principal, agent, officer, director, partner, shareholder (except as a
less than one percent shareholder of a publicly traded company) or otherwise. A “Competitor” shall
mean any business (in the U.S. or any country in which the Company or any Subsidiary operates)
which is in material competition with the Company or any Subsidiary and in which the Executive’s
functions would be substantially similar to the Executive’s functions with the Company. If the
Executive commences employment or becomes a consultant, principal, agent, officer, director,
partner, or shareholder of any entity that is not a Competitor at the time the Executive initially
becomes employed or becomes a consultant, principal, agent, officer, director, partner, or
shareholder of the entity, future activities of such entity shall not result in a violation of this
provision unless (x) such activities were contemplated by the Executive at the time the Executive
initially became employed or becomes a consultant, principal, agent, officer, director, partner, or
shareholder of the entity or (y) the Executive commences directly or indirectly to advise, plan,
oversee or manage the activities of an entity which becomes a Competitor during the Restriction
Period, that activities are competitive with the activities of the Company or any Subsidiary.

          (b) For the purposes of this Section 11, “Restriction Period” shall mean the period beginning
with the Effective Date and ending with:

	 	(i)	 	in the case of a termination of the Executive’s
employment without Cause, voluntary termination, upon a Change of
Control or a Constructive Termination Without Cause, the Restriction
Period shall terminate immediately upon the Executive’s termination of
employment; and,
	 
	 	(ii)	 	in the case of a termination of the Executive’s
employment for Cause, 12 months from the date of such termination.

14

 

     12. Non-solicitation of Employees.

          During the period beginning with the Effective Date and ending 12 months following the
termination of the Executive’s employment, the Executive shall not induce employees of the Company
or any Subsidiary to terminate their employment; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be
construed to prevent the Executive from engaging in generic nontargeted advertising for employees
generally. During such period, the Executive shall not hire, either directly or through any
employee, agent or representative, any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or any person who
was employed by the Company or any Subsidiary within 180 days of such hiring.

     13. Remedies.

          In addition to whatever other rights and remedies the Company may have at equity or in law, if
the Executive breaches any of the provisions contained in Sections 10, 11 or 12 above, the Company
(a) shall have its rights under Section 10 of this Agreement, (b) shall have the right to
immediately terminate all payments and benefits due under this Agreement and (c) shall have the
right to seek injunctive relief. The Executive acknowledges that such a breach of Sections 10, 11
or 12 would cause irreparable injury and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy
for the Company; provided, however, the foregoing shall not prevent the Executive from contesting
the issuance of any such injunction on the ground that no violation or threatened violation of
Sections 10, 11 or 12 has occurred.

     14. Resolution of Disputes.

          Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any breach or
asserted breach hereof or questioning the validity and binding effect hereof arising under or in
connection with this Agreement, other than seeking injunctive relief under Section 13, shall be
resolved by binding arbitration, to be held at an office closest to the Company’s principal offices
in accordance with the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association, except that
disputes arising under or in connection with Sections 10, 11 and 12 above shall be submitted to the
federal or state courts in the State of New York. Judgment upon the award rendered by the
arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Pending the resolution of
any arbitration or court proceeding, the Company shall continue payment of all amounts and benefits
due the Executive under this Agreement. All reasonable costs and expenses (including fees and
disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Executive pursuant to this Section 14 shall be paid on
behalf of or reimbursed to the Executive on a monthly basis by the Company for reasonable costs and
expenses incurred in the prior month; provided, however, that in the event the arbitrator(s)
determine(s) that any of the Executive’s litigation assertions or defenses are determined to be in
bad faith or frivolous, no such reimbursements shall be due the Executive, and any such expenses
already paid to the Executive shall be immediately returned by the Executive to the Company.

     15. Indemnification.

          (a) Company Indemnity. The Company agrees that if the Executive is made a party, or
is threatened to be made a party, to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he is or was

15

 

a director, officer or employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or is or was serving at the
request of the Company or any Subsidiary as a director, officer, member, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with
respect to employee benefit plans, whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is the Executive’s
alleged action in an official capacity while serving as a director, officer, member, employee or
agent, the Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent
legally permitted or authorized by the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or
resolutions of the Company’s Board or, if greater, by the laws of the State of New York against all
cost, expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees, judgments,
fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably
incurred or suffered by the Executive in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall
continue as to the Executive even if he has ceased to be a director, member, officer, employee or
agent of the Company or other entity and shall inure to the benefit of the Executive’s heirs,
executors and administrators. The Company shall advance to the Executive all reasonable costs and
expenses to be incurred by him in connection with a Proceeding within 20 days after receipt by the
Company of a written request for such advance, together with such documentation as may be
reasonably requested by the Company. Such request shall include an undertaking by the Executive to
repay the amount of such advance if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be
indemnified against such costs and expenses. The provisions of this Section 15(a) shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which the Executive may be entitled or
which may be granted to him, and it shall be in addition to any rights of indemnification to which
he may be entitled under any policy of insurance.

          (b) No Presumption Regarding Standard of Conduct. Neither the failure of the Company
(including its Board, independent legal counsel or stockholders) to have made a determination prior
to the commencement of any proceeding concerning payment of amounts claimed by the Executive under
Section 15(a) above that indemnification of the Executive is proper because he has met the
applicable standard of conduct, nor a determination by the Company (including its Board,
independent legal counsel or stockholders) that the Executive has not met such applicable standard
of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Executive has not met the applicable standard of
conduct.

          (c) Liability Insurance. The Company agrees to continue and maintain a directors and
officers’ liability insurance policy covering the Executive to the extent the Company provides such
coverage for its other executive officers.

     16. Excise Tax Gross-Up.

          If the Executive becomes entitled to one or more payments (with a “payment” including, without
limitation, the vesting of an option or other non-cash benefit or property), whether pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement, or agreement with the Company or any
affiliated company (the “Total Payments”), which are or become subject to the tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (or any similar tax that
may hereafter be imposed) (the “Excise Tax”), the Company shall pay to the Executive at the time
specified below an additional amount (the

16

 

          “Gross-up Payment”) (which shall include, without limitation, reimbursement for any penalties and
interest that may accrue in respect of such Excise Tax) such that the net amount retained by the
Executive, after reduction for any Excise Tax (including any penalties or interest thereon) on the
Total Payments and any federal, state and local income or employment tax and Excise Tax on the
Gross-up Payment provided for by this Section 16, but before reduction for any federal, state, or
local income or employment tax on the Total Payments, shall be equal to the sum of (a) the Total
Payments, and (b) an amount equal to the product of any deductions disallowed for federal, state,
or local income tax purposes because of the inclusion of the Gross-up Payment in the Executive’s
adjusted gross income multiplied by the highest applicable marginal rate of federal, state, or
local income taxation, respectively, for the calendar year in which the Gross-up Payment is to be
made. For purposes of determining whether any of the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise
Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax:

	 	(i)	 	The Total Payments shall be treated as “parachute payments”
within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, and all “excess parachute
payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code shall be treated
as subject to the Excise Tax, unless, and except to the extent that, in the
written opinion of independent compensation consultants, counsel or auditors of
nationally recognized standing (“Independent Advisors”) selected by the Company
and reasonably acceptable to the Executive, the Total Payments (in whole or in
part) do not constitute parachute payments, or such excess parachute payments
(in whole or in part) represent reasonable compensation for services actually
rendered within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code in excess of the
base amount within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code or are
otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	The amount of the Total Payments which shall be treated as
subject to the Excise Tax shall be equal to the lesser of (A) the total amount
of the Total Payments or (B) the total amount of excess parachute payments
within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code (after applying clause (i)
above); and
	 
	 	(iii)	 	The value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or
benefit shall be determined by the Independent Advisors in accordance with the
principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code.

          For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-up Payment, the Executive shall be deemed
(A) to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation for the
calendar year in which the Gross-up Payment is to be made; (B) to pay any applicable state and
local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation for the calendar year in which the
Gross-up Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be
obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes if paid in such year (determined without
regard to limitations on deductions based upon the amount of the Executive’s adjusted gross
income); and (C) to have otherwise allowable deductions for federal, state, and local income tax
purposes at least equal to those disallowed because of the inclusion

17

 

of the Gross-up Payment in the Executive’s adjusted gross income. In the event that the Excise Tax
is subsequently determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the
Gross-up Payment is made, the Executive shall repay to the Company at the time that the amount of
such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined (but, if previously paid to the taxing
authorities, not prior to the time the amount of such reduction is refunded to the Executive or
otherwise realized as a benefit by the Executive) the portion of the Gross-up Payment that would
not have been paid if such Excise Tax had been applied in initially calculating the Gross-up
Payment, plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in Section
1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. In the event that the Excise Tax is determined to exceed the amount
taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-up Payment is made (including by reason of any
payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-up Payment),
the Company shall make an additional Gross-up Payment in respect of such excess (plus any interest
and penalties payable with respect to such excess) at the time that the amount of such excess is
finally determined.

          The Gross-up Payment provided for above shall be paid on the 30th day after it has been
determined that the Total Payments (or any portion thereof) are subject to the Excise Tax and that
the Executive has the right to such Gross-up Payment pursuant to this Section 16 ; provided,
however, that if the amount of such Gross-up Payment or portion thereof cannot be finally
determined by such date, the Company shall pay to the Executive on such date an estimate, as
determined by the Independent Advisors, of the minimum amount of such payments and shall pay the
remainder of such payments, if any, (together with interest at the rate provided in Section
1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code), immediately upon the determination of the amount thereof. In the event
that the amount of the estimated payments exceeds the amount subsequently determined to have been
due, the Executive shall immediately repay such excess to the Company on the date such amount is
finally determined (together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the
Code). If more than one Gross-up Payment is made, the amount of each Gross-up Payment shall be
computed so as not to duplicate any prior Gross-up Payment. The Company shall have the right to
control all proceedings with the Internal Revenue Service that may arise in connection with the
determination and assessment of any Excise Tax and, at its sole option, the Company may pursue or
forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings, and conferences with any taxing
authority in respect of such Excise Tax (including any interest or penalties thereon); provided,
however, that the Company’s control over any such proceedings shall be limited to issues with
respect to which a Gross-up Payment would be payable hereunder, and the Executive shall be entitled
to settle or contest any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing
authority. The Executive shall cooperate with the Company in any proceedings relating to the
determination and assessment of any Excise Tax and shall not take any position or action that would
materially increase the amount of any Gross-Up Payment hereunder.

     17. Effect of Agreement on Other Benefits.

          Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the existence of this Agreement shall not
be interpreted to preclude, prohibit or restrict the Executive’s participation in any other
employee benefit or other plans or programs in which he currently participates.

18

 

     18. Assignability: Binding Nature.

          No rights or obligations of either the Executive (except as provided in Section 24, below) or
the Company under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred including without limitation, those
rights or obligations customarily assigned or transferred in connection with the merger,
consolidation, sale, or transfer of all, or substantially all of the assets, of the Company;
provided, however, that this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs
of the Executive and that the Executive’s rights to compensation and benefits may be transferred by
will or the laws of descent and distribution.

     19. Representation.

          The Company represents and warrants that it is fully authorized and empowered to enter into
this Agreement and that the performance of its obligations under this Agreement will not violate
any agreement between it and any other person, firm or organization.

     20. Entire Agreement.

          This Agreement contains the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties concerning
the subject matter hereof and, as of the Effective Date, supersedes all prior agreements,
understandings, discussions, negotiations and undertakings, whether written or oral, between the
Parties with respect thereto, except with respect to the specific award agreements referred to
herein and, for the avoidance of doubt, is not intended to, nor does it in any way, address the
rights and obligations of the Executive arising out of any agreement between the Executive and
Mariner, pursuant to which Mariner holds as nominee for the Executive options to purchase shares of
the Company.

     21. Amendment or Waiver.

          No provision in this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is agreed to in writing
and signed by the Executive and an authorized officer of the Company. Except as set forth herein,
no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any Party shall impair any
such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of or an acquiescence to any
breach hereof. No waiver by either Party of any breach by the other Party of any condition or
provision contained in this Agreement to be performed by such other Party shall be deemed a waiver
of a similar or dissimilar condition or provision at the same or any prior or subsequent time. Any
waiver must be in writing and signed by the Executive or an authorized officer of the Company, as
the case may be.

     22. Severability.

          In the event that any provision or portion of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid
or unenforceable for any reason, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions of this Agreement
shall be unaffected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent
permitted by law.

19

 

     23. Survivorship.

          The respective rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall survive any termination
of the Executive’s employment to the extent necessary to the intended preservation of such rights
and obligations.

     24. Beneficiaries/References.

          The Executive shall be entitled, to the extent permitted under any applicable law, to select
and change a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any compensation or benefit payable hereunder
following the Executive’s death by giving the Company written notice thereof. In the event of the
Executive’s death or a judicial determination of his incompetence, reference in this Agreement to
the Executive shall be deemed, where appropriate, to refer to his beneficiary, estate or other
legal representative.

     25. Governing Law/Jurisdiction.

          This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws
of New York without reference to principles of conflict of laws. Subject to Section 14, the
Company and the Executive hereby consent to the jurisdiction of any or all of the following courts
for purposes of resolving any dispute under this Agreement: (i) the United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York or (ii) any of the courts of the State of New York. The
Company and the Executive further agree that any service of process or notice requirements in any
such proceeding shall be satisfied if the rules of such court relating thereto have been
substantially satisfied. The Company and the Executive hereby waive, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, any objection which it or he may now or hereafter have to such
jurisdiction and any defense of inconvenient forum.

     26. Notices.

          Any notice given to a Party shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when
delivered personally or sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt
requested, duly addressed to the Party concerned at the address indicated below or to such changed

          The headings of the sections contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall
not be deemed to control or affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.
For purposes of this Agreement, the term “termination” when used in the context of a condition to,
or timing of, payment hereunder shall be interpreted to mean a “separation from service” as that
term is used in Section 409A of the Code.

Exhibit 10.4

NYMAGIC, INC.

2004 AMENDED AND RESTATED LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

AWARD AGREEMENT

     THIS AGREEMENT, made as of this 9th day of January, 2007 by and between NYMAGIC, INC. (the
“Company”), having its principal place of business in 919 Third Avenue, 10th Floor, New
York, NY 10022

     and

     George R. Trumbull, III (the “Grantee”), the Chairman of the Company.

WITNESSETH THAT:

     WHEREAS, the Grantee is now employed by the Company (the “Company” when used herein with
reference to employment of the Grantee, shall include any Affiliate of the Company as defined in
the Plan) as Chairman pursuant to an Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) between the
Grantee and the Company entered into contemporaneously with this Award Agreement; and

     WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the NYMAGIC, INC. 2004 Amended and Restated Long-Term
Incentive (the “Plan”) under which the Company may grant to key employees awards of Restricted
Shares as defined in the Plan, providing the Grantee with shares of common stock, par value $1 per
share, of the Company (the “Shares”) subject to restrictions set forth in the Plan and in this
Award Agreement; and

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to the Grantee an award of Restricted Shares pursuant to
the resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company adopted on December 6, 2006;

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements herein contained and intending
to be legally bound, the parties hereto hereby agree with each other as follows:

     1. Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and to the terms of
the Plan, and in order to provide an incentive for the Grantee, as a key employee, to work for the
long-range success of the Company, the Company hereby awards to the Grantee 5,000 Restricted
Shares, subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan.

     2. Vesting. The Shares underlying the Restricted Shares awarded to the Grantee under
this Award Agreement shall vest on December 31, 2007 if the Grantee is, and has been, since the
date of this Agreement employed by the Company on that date. If the Grantee’s employment with the
Company terminates prior to December 31, 2007, the Shares underlying the Restricted Shares awarded
to the Grantee under this Award Agreement shall be forfeited unless otherwise provided in
accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreement.

     3. Issuance. The Shares underlying the Restricted Shares subject to this Award
Agreement will be issued in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

 

     4. Binding Effect. Except as otherwise provided in this Award Agreement or in
the Plan, every covenant, term, and provision of this Award Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, transferees, and
assigns.

     5. No Additional Rights. In no event shall the award of the Restricted Shares
hereunder or the acceptance of this Award Agreement by the Grantee give or be deemed to give the
Grantee any right to continued retention as an independent contractor, service provider, or
employee by the Company or any affiliate of the Company.

     6. Severability. If any part or parts of this Award Agreement or the Plan shall be
held illegal or unenforceable by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, such
determination shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Award Agreement or the Plan which
shall remain in full force and effect.

     7. Governing Law. This Award Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the state of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law
principles thereof.

     8. Counterparts. This Award Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall be considered one and the
same agreement. 

     9. Taxes. By signing this Award Agreement, the Grantee acknowledges that he shall be

Shares, and that the Company shall have no obligation whatsoever to pay such taxes.
