ITT
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

Effective as of January 1, 1995
as amended and restated as of December 31, 2008


 

 

ITT DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

The ITT Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) was established by ITT Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Former ITT”), effective January 1, 1995. The purpose of the Plan is to provide each Participant with a means of deferring compensation in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

Effective as of December 19, 1995, Former ITT split into three separate companies — ITT Hartford Group, Inc., ITT Corporation, a Nevada corporation, and ITT Industries, Inc. an Indiana corporation (the “Corporation”), which is the successor to Former ITT.

Under the Employee Benefits Service and Liability Agreement dated November 1, 1995 (the “Agreement”) the Corporation agreed to continue the Plan for eligible employees of the Corporation or of any of its subsidiaries and to transfer the liabilities attributable to participants who become employees of ITT Corporation, a Nevada corporation, on December 19, 1995 to ITT Corporation.

Effective as of January 1, 1996, the Plan was amended to accept the liabilities under the ITT Industries Excess Savings Plan attributable to salary deferrals, excess matching contributions, and excess floor contributions credited with respect to Base Salary deferred under this Plan and hold such amounts hereunder in accordance with the provisions of the ITT Industries Excess Savings Plan as set forth in Appendix A, attached hereto and made part hereof.

Effective as of October 1, 1997, January 1, 1998, April 1, 1998, January 1, 1999, and November 1, 2000, the Plan was further amended to make certain administration changes to unify the form and timing of Plan distributions, respectively. Effective as of March 1, 2004, the Plan was further amended to provide that a Participant may make a separate investment election with respect to future deferrals. Effective as of July 1, 2004, the Plan was amended and restated to make certain administrative changes and to unify the definition of Acceleration Event with other employee benefit plans of ITT Industries. Effective as of July 1, 2006, the Plan’s name was revised to the ITT Deferred Compensation Plan.

The Plan is hereby amended and restated, effective as of December 31, 2008 to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and regulations promulgated thereunder.

The provisions of this Plan as herein amended shall apply to amounts deferred on or after January 1, 2005. Amounts deferred under the provisions of the Plan prior to January 1, 2005, which were vested as of December 31, 2004, shall be subject to the provisions of the Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004 (attached hereto as Appendix C and made part hereof) without regard to any Plan amendments after October 3, 2004 which would constitute a material modification for Code Section 409A purposes, unless otherwise provided in Appendix B attached hereto.

All benefits payable under this Plan, which constitutes a nonqualified, unfunded deferred compensation plan for a select group of management or highly-compensated employees under Title I of ERISA, shall be paid out of the general assets of the Company.

Filing Requirements

 

(a)

 

Subject to the following provisions of this Section, prior to the close of an annual enrollment period established by the Administrative Committee, an Eligible Executive who was employed by the Company or an Associated Company on the first day of a Performance Period (or such other date in the first quarter of such Performance Period as specified by the Administrative Committee) and who remains continuously employed through the date his Deferral Agreement is submitted, may elect to defer a portion of his Bonus earned with respect to that Performance Period which is otherwise payable in the next Plan Year; provided the Deferral Agreement is filed with Plan Administrative Committee (or its delegates) by the date established by the Administrative Committee but no later than six months before the end of the applicable Performance Period (the “Deferral Deadline Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any election to defer Bonus that is made in accordance with this paragraph and that becomes payable as a result of the Participant’s death or disability (as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(e)) or upon a Change in Control prior to the satisfaction of the performance criteria, will be void.

 

 

(b)

 

A Participant’s election to defer a portion of his Bonus for any calendar year shall become irrevocable on the last day the deferral of such Bonus may be elected under Section 3.01(a), except as otherwise provided in Section 3.02(c) or 3.05. A Participant may revoke or change his election to defer a portion of Bonus at any time prior to the date the election becomes irrevocable. Any such revocation or change shall be made in a form and manner determined by the Administrative Committee.

 

(c)

 

Subject to the provisions of Section 3.02, an Eligible Executive must file, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01(a), a new Deferral Agreement for each calendar year the Eligible Executive is eligible for and elects to defer a portion of his Bonus.

 

 

(d)

 

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, an Eligible Executive’s election to defer Bonus shall only be effective if (1) the Eligible Executive files the Deferral Agreement with respect to such Bonus no later than the earlier of (A) the applicable Deferral Election Deadline (as defined in paragraph (a) above) or (B) the date that is six months before the end of the Performance Period with respect to which the Bonus is payable, (2) the Participant


 

Page 10

 

 

 

performs services continuously from the later of the beginning of the Performance Period or the date the criteria are established through the date the Deferral Agreement is submitted and (3) the Bonus is not readily ascertainable as of the date the Deferral Agreement is filed.

 

(e)

 

If a Participant ceases to be an Eligible Executive but continues to be employed by the Company or an Associated Company, he shall continue to be a Participant and his Deferral Agreement currently in effect for the Plan Year shall remain in force for the remainder of such Plan Year, but such Participant shall not be eligible to defer any portion of his Bonus earned in a subsequent Plan Year until such time as he shall once again become an Eligible Executive.

 

 

(f)

 

The Eligible Executive shall submit the Deferral Agreement in the manner specified by the Administrative Committee and a Deferral Agreement that is not timely filed shall be considered void and shall have no effect. The Administrative Committee shall establish procedures that govern deferral elections under the Plan.

3.02

 

Amount of Deferral

 

 

(a)

 

The Compensation and Personnel Committee or its delegate may determine prior to June 30th of a calendar year that an Eligible Executive may defer all or a portion of his Bonus that is otherwise payable in the next Plan Year. An Eligible Executive shall be given written notice of the opportunity to defer all or a portion of his Bonus at least ten business days prior to the date the Deferral Agreement for the applicable Plan Year must be submitted to the Administrative Committee.

 

(b)

 

The Administrative Committee may establish maximum or minimum limits on the amount of any Bonus which may be deferred and/or the timing of such Deferral. Eligible Executives shall be given written notice of any such limits prior to the date they take effect.

 

 

(c)

 

Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, if an Eligible Executive:

 

(i)

 

receives a withdrawal of deferred cash contributions on account of hardship from any plan which is maintained by the Company or an Associated Company and which meets the requirements of Code Section 401(k) (or any successor thereto), and

 

 

(ii)

 

is precluded from making contributions to such 401(k) plan for at least 6 months after receipt of the hardship withdrawal,


 

Page 11

 

 

 

the Eligible Executive’s Deferral Agreement with respect to Bonus in effect at that time shall be cancelled. Any Bonus payment which would have been deferred pursuant to that Deferral Agreement but for the application of this Section 3.02(c) shall be paid to the Eligible Executive as if he had not entered into the Deferral Agreement.

3.03

 

Crediting to Deferral Account

 

 

 

The amount of Deferrals shall be credited to such Participant’s Deferral Account on the day such Bonus would have otherwise been paid to the Participant in the absence of a Deferral Agreement. Deferrals credited to a Participant’s Deferral account which are deemed invested in a Corporation phantom stock fund will be credited based on the fair market value of the Corporation’s common stock on that day.

3.04

 

Vesting

 

 

 

A Participant shall at all times be 100% vested in his Deferral Account.

 

3.05

 

Unforeseeable Emergency

 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 3, the Compensation and Personnel Committee may completely cease Deferrals made under all Deferral Agreements then in effect with respect to the Participant upon the Participant’s providing the Compensation and Personnel Committee with such evidence of an Unforeseeable Emergency (as defined in Section 5.05) as the Compensation and Personnel Committee may deem appropriate. In the event the Compensation and Personnel Committee finds the Participant has incurred an Unforeseeable Emergency (as defined in Section 5.05), the Participant’s Deferral Agreement in effect at that time shall be cancelled and Deferrals shall cease as of the first practicable payroll period following the Compensation and Personnel Committee’s decision. In the event the Participant wishes to recommence Deferrals starting in a subsequent calendar year, the Participant may do so by duly completing, executing, and filing the appropriate Deferral Agreement with the Administrative Committee in accordance with Section 3.01, provided said Participant is an Eligible Executive at that time.

ARTICLE 4 — MAINTENANCE OF ACCOUNTS

4.01

 

Adjustment of Account

 

(a)

 

As of each Reporting Date, each Deferral Account (or subaccount thereof) and/or Grandfathered Deferral Account shall be credited or debited with the amount of earnings or losses with which such Deferral Account (or subaccounts thereof) and/or Grandfathered Deferral Account would have been credited or debited, assuming it had been invested in one or more investment funds, or earned the rate of return of one or more indices of investment performance, designated by the Administrative Committee and elected by the Participant pursuant to Section 4.02 for purposes of measuring the investment performance of such Accounts. Any portion of a Participant’s Deferral Account (or subaccount thereof) and/or Grandfathered Deferral Account deemed invested in a Corporation phantom stock fund shall be credited with dividend equivalents, as and when dividends are paid on the Corporation’s common stock, which shall be deemed invested in additional shares of such phantom stock.

 

 

(b)

 

The Plan Committee shall designate at least one investment fund or index of investment performance and may designate other investment funds or investment indices (including a Corporation phantom stock fund) to be used to measure the investment performance of a Participant’s Deferral Account and/or Grandfathered Deferral Account. The designation of any such investment funds or indices shall not require the Corporation to invest or earmark their general assets in any specific manner. The Plan Committee may change the designation of investment funds or indices from time to time, in its sole discretion, and any such change shall not be deemed to be an amendment affecting Participants’ rights under Section 6.02.

4.02

 

Investment Performance Elections

 

 

 

In the event the Plan Committee designates more than one investment fund or index of investment performance under Section 4.01, each Participant shall file an investment election with the Administrative Committee or its delegate with respect to the investment of his Deferral Account (or subaccount thereof) and/or Grandfathered Deferral Account within such time period and in such manner as the Administrative Committee may prescribe. The election shall designate the investment fund or funds or index or indices of investment performance which shall be used


 

Page 13

 

 

to measure the investment performance of the Participant’s Deferral Account (or subaccount thereof) and/or Grandfathered Deferral Account.

4.03

 

Changing Investment Elections

 

 

 

In the event the Plan Committee designates more than one investment fund or index of investment performance under Section 4.01, a Participant may change his election of the investment fund or funds or index or indices of investment performance used to measure the future investment performance of the existing account balance of his Deferral Account (or subaccount thereof) and/or his Grandfathered Deferral Account, by filing an appropriate written notice with the Administrative Committee or its delegate within such time periods and in such manner as prescribed by the Administrative Committee, in advance of the date such election is effective. The election shall be effective as soon as administratively practicable after the date on which notice is timely filed or at such other time as prescribed by the Administrative Committee on a basis uniformly applicable to all Participants similarly situated.

 

 

A Participant may change his or her election of the investment fund or funds or index or indices of investment performance used to measure the future investment performance of his future Deferrals within such time periods and in such manner prescribed by the Administrative Committee. The election shall be effective as soon as administratively practicable after the date in which notice is timely filed or at such other time as the Administrative Committee shall determine. In the absence of such an election, the Participant’s future Deferrals will be invested in accordance with his existing investment election with respect to the current balance of his Deferral Account (or subaccount thereof), provided, however, if such Participant is an “insider” (as defined in Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) and his existing investment elections include an investment in the Corporation’s phantom stock fund, his future Deferrals shall be allocated pro rata among the other funds or indices on his existing investment election based on the proportions as designated on such existing investment election.

 

4.04

 

Individual Accounts

 

(a)

 

The Administrative Committee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained on the books of the Corporation, records showing the individual balance of each Participant’s Deferral Account (or subaccount thereof) and/or Grandfathered Deferral Account. The Participant’s Deferral Account (or subaccount thereof) shall be credited with the Deferrals made by the Participant pursuant to the provisions of Article 3 and the


 

Page 14

 

 

 

Participant’s Deferral Account (or subaccount thereof) and/or Grandfathered Deferral Account shall be credited and debited, as the case may be, with hypothetical investment results determined pursuant to this Article 4. At least once a year each Participant shall be furnished with a statement setting forth the value of his Deferral Account (or subaccount thereof) and/or Grandfathered Deferral Account.

 

(b)

 

Within each Participant’s Deferral Account and/or Grandfathered Deferral Account, separate subaccounts shall be maintained to the extent necessary for the administration of the Plan.

 

 

(c)

 

The accounts established under this Article shall be hypothetical in nature and shall be maintained for bookkeeping purposes only so that hypothetical gains or losses on the deferrals made to the Plan can be credited or debited, as the case may be.

4.05

 

Valuation of Accounts

 

 

(a)

 

The Administrative Committee shall value or cause to be valued each Participant’s Deferral Account and/or Grandfathered Deferral Account at least monthly. On each Reporting Date there shall be allocated to the Deferral Account and/or Grandfathered Deferral Account of each Participant the appropriate amount determined in accordance with Section 4.01.

 

(b)

 

Whenever an event requires a determination of the value of a Participant’s Deferral Account and/or Grandfathered Deferral Account, the value shall be computed as of the Reporting Date immediately preceding the date of the event, except as otherwise specified in this Plan.

 

4.06

 

Compliance with Securities Laws and Trading Policies and Procedures

 

 

A Participant’s ability to direct investments into or out of a Corporation phantom stock fund shall be subject to such terms, conditions and procedures as the Plan Administrator may prescribe from time to time to assure compliance with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 16b-3”), and other applicable requirements. Such procedures also may limit or restrict a Participant’s ability to make (or modify previously made) Deferrals and distribution elections under the Plan. In furtherance, and not in limitation, of the foregoing, to the extent a Participant acquires any interest in an equity security under the Plan

for purposes of Section 16(b), the Participant shall not
