Amendments to Executive Employment Agreements and Change in Control Agreements for Neal J. Keating and William C. Denninger

At its February 23, 2010 meeting, the Kaman Corporation (the “Company”) Board of Directors approved changes to the existing employment agreements and change in control agreements for Neal J. Keating, its Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and William C. Denninger, its Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The changes provide the Company, with respect to each officer, a right to recapture compensation (the “Recapture Amount” described below) paid or received, or to be paid or received, by the officer relating to Incentive Compensation (as described below) awards made on or after January 1, 2010 with respect to fiscal periods beginning with 2010 when there is a Mandatory Restatement (as described below) of the Company’s financial statements for fiscal 2010 or any year thereafter that arises directly from the fraudulent or knowing, intentional misconduct of the officer.

Copies of Amendment No. 1 to Executive Employment Agreement and Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Change in Control Agreement for Mr. Keating are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively. Copies of Amendment No. 1 to Executive Employment Agreement and Amendment No. 1 to Change in Control Agreement for Mr. Denninger are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.3 and 10.4, respectively. Each of these agreements is incorporated herein by reference. The amendments are identical for each of Mr. Keating and Mr. Denninger, except that Mr. Denninger’s employment agreement amendment also corrects a scrivener’s error.

The following summary of these amendments does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the attached agreements.

Amendment No. 1 to Executive Employment Agreements

The amendment provides that in the event there is a Mandatory Restatement of the Company’s financial statements (for any fiscal period beginning with 2010) that results directly from the officer’s fraudulent or knowing, intentional misconduct, the officer will pay the Company the Recapture Amount, which is an amount related to Incentive Compensation awards that are contingent upon achievement of specified performance targets (rather than, for example, the passage of time). A “Mandatory Restatement” is a restatement of the Company’s financial statements which is required, in the good faith opinion of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (the “Auditors”), pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles, but excludes restatements that are a consequence of a change in generally accepted accounting rules effective after the publication of the first issuance of such financial statements. A Mandatory Restatement does not include a restatement that occurs more than 3 years after the officer’s termination of employment or one that, in the good faith judgment of the Board’s Audit Committee, is due to a change in the manner in which the Company’s Auditors or government authorities interpret the application of generally accepted accounting principles or is otherwise due to events, facts, or changes in law or practice that are considered by the Audit Committee to be immaterial. The “Recapture Amount” that the officer is required to pay the Company essentially consists of the difference between (1) Incentive Compensation paid or received (or to be paid or received) pursuant to awards made within the twelve-month period following first issuance of financial statements that subsequently become subject to a Mandatory Restatement; and (2) the amount that would be paid or received based on the financial results reported in the Mandatory Restatement, as determined by the Board’s Personnel & Compensation Committee that exists at the time of determination. “Incentive Compensation” means amounts paid or received (or to be paid or received) under awards made on or after January 1, 2010 with respect to fiscal periods beginning with 2010, pursuant to annual cash incentive awards under the Company’s Cash Bonus Plan, long-term performance awards or other equity-based awards under the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan if vesting or lapse of restrictions is dependent upon achievement of financial performance objectives, and like compensation under other or successor plans where entitlement to payment is dependent upon achievement of financial performance objectives.

2

The Board’s Personnel & Compensation Committee is generally responsible for administration of the compensation recapture provisions of the amendment and that Committee’s decisions are final and binding on the parties, except for the Audit Committee responsibilities previously described and the officer’s right to appeal to the Board for a review of any determination that the officer believes is incorrect, excessive or otherwise inequitable.

The amendment does not supersede the Company’s right to enforce any provision of the Executive Employment Agreement nor does it affect the officer’s entitlement to any other benefits provided under the Executive Employment Agreement.

The amendment for Mr. Denninger also corrects an administrative oversight in his original Executive Employment Agreement with a clarification that in the event of termination of employment by the Company other than for cause (other than a termination due to disability or death) or by the officer for good reason, the Company shall continue to pay all premiums on the life insurance coverage issued to Mr. Denninger for a period of 24 months, but in no event later than his retirement eligibility date (age 65). This provision is included in the executive employment agreements for other Company executives that have previously been filed with the SEC.

Amendment to Change in Control Agreements

The amendment provides generally that the Company’s rights with respect to compensation recapture under the Executive Employment Agreement are not affected by the provisions of the Change in Control agreement.  The amendments for Mr. Keating and Mr. Denninger are the same.

AMENDMENT NO. 1

TO

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This AMENDMENT NO. 1 (“Amendment”) to Executive Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of the 1st day of January 2010 between KAMAN CORPORATION, a Connecticut corporation (the “Company”) and NEAL J. KEATING (“Executive”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive have entered into the Agreement, which was most recently amended and restated as of November 11, 2008; and

WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to further amend the Agreement;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, of the mutual promises contained herein and of the other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1.           The last sentence of Section 4 (Bonuses) of the Agreement is amended in its entirety to read as follows:  “Except as provided under Sections 5A and 8 of the Agreement, the Executive shall receive payments with respect to the plans and programs described in this Section 4 in accordance with the terms of such plans and programs.”

2.A new Section 5A is hereby added to the Agreement:

5A.           Recovery of Amounts Related to Mandatory Restatements.

a)  Right of Recapture.  Effective January 1, 2010 and subject to the terms of this section 5A but otherwise notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the terms of any compensation arrangement, plan or program, Executive shall pay the Company a sum equal to the Recapture Amount if, and to the extent that, (i) payment of Incentive Compensation is or was contingent upon the achievement of one or more specified financial performance targets and (ii) the amount of such Incentive Compensation is, or would have been, affected by a Mandatory Restatement that the Company is required to implement that results directly from Executive’s fraudulent or knowing, intentional misconduct.

Page 1

b)  Definitions. For purposes of this section 5A:

“Recapture Amount” means i) the difference between a) the amount of Incentive Compensation paid or received, or to be paid or received by the Executive pursuant to an award made, within the twelve-month period following first issuance of financial statements that are subsequently determined to be subject to a Mandatory Restatement, and b) the amount that would have been paid or received by the Executive based on the financial results reported in the Mandatory Restatement, in each case as determined in good faith by the Personnel & Compensation Committee that exists at the time of determination; provided that, ii) the amount that the Executive shall be required to reimburse the Company from previously received Incentive Compensation shall be reduced by the Net Tax Cost of such compensation to the Executive, and iii) to the extent that the price of the Company’s Common Stock is or was a component of the performance objectives upon which the Incentive Compensation was payable, the value of the stock taken into account for purposes of re-determining the level of achievement based on the Mandatory Restatement will be equitably adjusted by the Personnel & Compensation  Committee, utilizing a third-party consultant with expertise in equity valuations.

 “Incentive Compensation” means amounts paid or received, or to be paid or received, under awards made on or after January 1, 2010 with respect to fiscal periods beginning with 2010, pursuant to: i) annual cash incentive awards under the Company’s Cash Bonus Plan; ii) long term performance awards under the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan; iii) other equity-based awards under such Stock Incentive Plan if vesting or lapse of restrictions is dependent upon achievement of financial performance objectives, and iv) like compensation under other or successor plans when entitlement to payments is dependent upon achievement of financial performance objectives.  For the avoidance of doubt, Incentive Compensation does not include the proceeds of any stock option grant, restricted stock or restricted stock unit award, long-term performance award or any other variety of equity-based award that has a vesting schedule based on the passage of time and the continued performance of services rather than the achievement of financial performance objectives.

“Mandatory Restatement” means a restatement of the Company’s financial statements for fiscal year 2010 or any year thereafter which, in the good faith opinion of the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (the “Auditors”), is required to be implemented pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles, but excluding any restatement which is so required with respect to a particular year as a consequence of a change in generally accepted accounting rules effective after the publication of the financial statements for such year. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, a Mandatory Restatement shall not include any restatement that (i) occurs more than three years following the date of the Executive’s termination of employment, or (ii) in the good faith judgment of the Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”), (A) is required due to a change in the manner in which the Company’s Auditors (including for this purpose, any successor accounting firm retained by the Company which was not engaged at the time that the original financial statement in question was prepared) or governmental authorities interpret the application of generally accepted accounting principles (as opposed to a change in a prior accounting conclusion due to a change in the facts upon which such conclusion was based), or (B) is otherwise required due to events, facts or changes in law or practice that the Audit Committee concludes were immaterial.

Page 2

“Net Tax Cost” means the net amount of any federal, foreign, state or local income, employment or other taxes paid by the Executive in respect of Incentive Compensation received, after taking into account any and all available deductions, credits or other offsets allowable to the Executive, and which are not recoverable by the Executive through timely amending any prior income or other tax returns. The Executive shall seek all recoverable amounts in a prompt and diligent manner.

 c)  Personnel & Compensation Committee Administration; Executive Right of Appeal.  A) The Personnel & Compensation Committee shall determine in good faith whether or not the Executive’s fraudulent or knowing, intentional misconduct has resulted in a Mandatory Restatement and the Executive shall be given a reasonable opportunity to provide his view (which may include any financial advisors he may engage for assistance) of the matter to the Personnel & Compensation Committee as part of the determination process.  If the Personnel & Compensation Committee agrees with the Executive’s position, it shall, in its sole discretion, specify an amount to be repaid to the Company, if any, that it concludes is equitable and appropriate under the circumstances. If the Personnel & Compensation Committee does not agree with the Executive’s position, no adjustment shall be made in the determinations made under this section 5A.  Subject to subsection B, the Personnel & Compensation Committee’s judgments and actions in accordance with the two immediately preceding sentences shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Company, the Executive, and all persons claiming an interest through either such party.

B) Not withstanding subsection A, if the Executive believes that any determination made under this section 5A, is incorrect, excessive or otherwise inequitable, he shall have the right to appeal to the Board of Directors for a review of any such determinations.

 d)  Repayment Due Dates.  Payment of the Recapture Amount shall be made as follows: The Executive shall pay to the Company the Recapture Amount less any taxes previously paid by the Executive in respect of the Recapture Amount, such payment to be made promptly by the Executive following written demand by the Company, but in any event within 30 days following the later of the date of receipt of such written demand or the final resolution of any appeal to the Board or the Personnel & Compensation Committee, as provided in this Agreement.  The Executive shall pay to the Company all tax refunds received by the Executive in respect of his amending any prior income or other tax return as required by this Agreement, such payment to be made within 30 days of Executive’s receipt of any such refund.

 e)  Effect on Other Enforcement Provisions of this Agreement.   This section 5A does not supersede the Company’s right to enforce any provision of this Agreement nor shall it affect the Executive’s entitlement to any other benefits provided in accordance with this Agreement.

3.Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement.

   4.           Full Force and Effect.  As modified by this Amendment, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment.

If the Personnel & Compensation Committee does not agree with the Executive’s position, no adjustment shall be made in the determinations made under this section 5A.  Subject to subsection B, the Personnel & Compensation Committee’s judgments and actions in accordance with the two immediately preceding sentences shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Company, the Executive, and all persons claiming an interest through either such party.
