                  Incentive Compensation Program.

(c)      The total value referred to in subparagraph 6(b)(3)(B) shall be the sum
         of the Initial Payment, Second Payment, Final Payment, Vesting Date SAR
         Values, Vested Option Spread and CSAR cash payments under the Special
         Incentive Compensation Program.

   
(d)      CIGNA will make the advance payments under subparagraph 6(b)(4) to
         Executive in biweekly installments beginning immediately after the date
         of Executive's termination of employment. Each installment payment will
         equal Executive's annual base salary rate in effect immediately before
         his termination of employment divided by twenty-six (26). These
         biweekly payments shall continue until the earlier of (1) the date the
         twenty-sixth (26th) installment payment has been made or (2) the date
         the total accumulated installment payments equal one million five
         hundred and twenty-two thousand and two hundred and fifty dollars
         ($1,522,250) (which is the value of 4,030 restricted shares plus 10,000
         Phantom Shares at seventy-five dollars ($75.00) per share and 47,000
         SARs at ten dollars ($10.00) per SAR). Any remaining amounts due
         Executive under the Special Incentive Compensation Program and any
         severance pay that might be due to Executive under subparagraph
         6(b)(3), after the biweekly advances have been made under this
         subparagraph 6(d), will be paid in a lump sum * .
    


7. PAYMENTS AFTER EXECUTIVE'S DEATH. If Executive dies after his termination of
employment, but before payment of all amounts due under subparagraphs 6(b)(3)
and (4), CIGNA will make any remaining payments to Executive's surviving spouse
or, if he has no surviving spouse, to his estate.


8. RELEASE AND WAIVER OF CLAIMS. Executive, for himself, his executors,
administrators, heirs and assigns:

(a)      agrees that no charge, complaint, claim or lawsuit of any kind will be
         filed against Releasees in connection with any claim released by this
         Agreement; and

(b)      acknowledges full and complete satisfaction of, and releases and
         discharges Releasees from, any and all claims, demands and causes of
         action of whatever kind or nature, whether known or unknown to or
         suspected or unsuspected by Executive, which Executive now owns or
         holds or has at any time owned

                                        5
<PAGE>   6
         or held against any Releasees arising out of or by reason of
         Executive's employment with any CIGNA Company.

This release includes but is not limited to claims under ADEA. This release
shall not, however, preclude Executive's right to pursue any claims arising (1)
under this Agreement and the Special Incentive Compensation Program or (2) under
any employee benefit programs other than the CIGNA Severance Plan (which plan is
addressed by paragraph 5 of this Agreement).


9.       NON-DISCLOSURE.

(a)      Executive shall not use for his own benefit (or for the benefit of any
         other person or entity unrelated to a CIGNA Company), and shall not,
         without the advance, express, written consent of the Chief Executive
         Officer of CIGNA or his designee, make known to any person, any
         information about: * or the provisions of this Agreement.

(b)      Executive shall not at any time during or after the term of his
         employment with a Company (other than in the good faith performance of
         the duties and responsibilities of his position with that Company)
         reveal or make known to any person (other than the Company) or use for
         his own benefit (or for the benefit of any other person or entity
         unrelated to the Company) any Company Information made known (whether
         or not with the knowledge and permission of the Company) to Executive
         by reason of his employment by a Company; provided however, that after
         such knowledge, information and materials have become public knowledge,
         Executive shall have no further obligation under this paragraph 9(b)
         with respect to such information so long as Executive was in no manner
         responsible, directly or indirectly, for causing or permitting such
         information to become public knowledge without the consent of the
         Company.

(c)      Executive shall retain all Company Information which he may acquire or
         develop during the term of his employment with a Company in trust for
         the sole benefit of that Company.


10.      COVENANT TO REPORT. All written materials, records and documents made
by Executive or coming into his possession during the term of his employment
with a Company and concerning the business or affairs of any Company shall be

promptly deliver such materials to the requesting Company. Executive agrees to
render to the applicable Company such reports of the activities undertaken by

                                        6

                  designee * ; or

         (3)      employ, engage for hire, solicit the employment or engagement
                  for hire, or otherwise attempt to employ or engage for hire,
                  by or on behalf of any such competing business, without the
                  prior written consent of the Chief Executive Officer of CIGNA
                  or his designee * , any person who within the prior twelve
                  (12) month period has been an officer or employee of any
                  company engaged in the PC Business, unless such officer or
                  employee has been involuntarily terminated by that company.

(b)      The provisions of subparagraph 11(a) will be of no force or effect if
         Executive's employment is terminated and:

         (1)      The termination is a Termination upon a Change of Control, as
                  defined in the CIGNA Corporation Severance Benefits Plan for
                  Members of the Executive Group, and * ;

         (2)      *  ; or

         (3)      The termination is initiated by CIGNA Companies * ; however,
                  this subparagraph 11(b)(3) shall not apply if the termination
                  is either (A) on account of the Executive's misconduct, as
                  described in published

                                        7
<PAGE>   8
                  Company statements of policies governing employees' conduct,
                  or (B) pursuant to a written severance agreement that does not
                  explicitly terminate Executive's obligations under
                  subparagraph 11(a) of this Agreement.


12.      JUDICIAL REMEDIES.

(a)      Executive acknowledges that an affected Company will have no adequate
         remedy at law if Executive violates the terms of paragraphs 9, 10 or
         11. In such event, CIGNA, * shall have the right, in addition to any
         other rights it may have, to obtain in any court of competent
         jurisdiction injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened
         breach of specific performance of this Agreement.

(b)      If the scope of the restrictions on the Executive under paragraph 11
         are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unreasonably broad
         and unenforceable, it is the intent of the parties that the court not
         void the restrictions but reformulate them so they are reasonable and
         enforceable, while adhering as closely as possible to the original
         scope of the restrictions.


13.      RECOVERY. If the Executive violates any of the provisions of paragraphs
9, 10 or 11:

(a)      CIGNA shall have no obligation to pay Executive (or Executive's
         surviving spouse) any amounts described in the Special Incentive
         Compensation Program or in paragraph 6 of the Agreement; and

(b)      If Executive has already received any values, benefits or payments
         under the Special Incentive Compensation Program or under paragraph 6
         of the Agreement, Executive agrees that the amount of such values,
         benefits or payments shall be repaid to CIGNA as follows:

         (1)      CIGNA shall immediately offset such amounts from any payments
                  which may still be owing to the Executive, including any
                  payments under any nonqualified deferred compensation or
                  supplemental pension arrangement; and

         (2)      If such offset is insufficient, Executive agrees to repay any
                  remaining amounts to CIGNA within thirty (30) days of receipt
                  of CIGNA's written demand for such repayment. If CIGNA must
                  commence any arbitration or other legal action to enforce
                  Executive's obligations under this

                                        8
<PAGE>   9
                  subparagraph 13(b), Executive further agrees to pay CIGNA its
                  costs and attorneys' fees in such action.


14. LIMITED SCOPE. This Agreement is not a contract of employment for any
specified term, and nothing herein is intended to, nor shall be construed as,
changing the nature of Executive's employment from an at-will relationship. This
Agreement is limited to the terms and conditions set forth herein and does not
otherwise address any of the other rights of any CIGNA Company as Executive's
employer.


15. CHOICE OF LAW. The Agreement is made and entered into in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, and at all times and for all purposes shall be interpreted,
enforced and governed under its laws.


16. ARBITRATION. Without in any way affecting the terms of paragraph 12 above,
it is agreed that any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or the Special Incentive Compensation Program shall be settled
exclusively by arbitration in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in accordance with the
Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and
judgment upon the award rendered by the Arbitrator(s) may be entered in any
court having jurisdiction thereof.


17. SEVERANCE PLAN. References in this Agreement to the CIGNA Severance Plan
shall mean such plan(s) as amended through the Effective Date of this Agreement,
and shall not mean any subsequent versions of such plan, or any successor plan,
unless the Executive agrees in writing that such subsequent version or successor
shall be applicable.


18. SUCCESSORS. CIGNA's rights and obligations under this Agreement will inure
to the benefit of and be binding upon CIGNA's successors and assigns. Executive
may not assign any rights or obligations under this Agreement.


19. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between
