ITT EXCESS PENSION PLAN
IB
Effective as of January 1,
1996
As Amended and Restated as of December 31, 2008
ITT EXCESS PENSION PLAN
IB
The ITT
Industries Excess Pension Plan IB (the “Plan”) has been
authorized and adopted by the Board of Directors of ITT Industries,
Inc. to be effective as of January 1, 1996. The purpose of the
Plan is to provide certain supplemental benefits to certain select
management or highly compensated employees who qualify for benefits
under the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan (the “Retirement
Plan”).
Effective as of
January 1, 1996, the ITT Industries Excess Pension Plan I was
amended (i) to solely provide to individuals who are eligible
employees thereunder on and after December 19, 1995, the
excess benefits which would have been payable under the Retirement
Plan but for the limitations imposed by Sections 415 and
401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”)
and (ii) to transfer into the ITT Industries Excess Pension
Plan IB all liabilities not attributable to such excess
benefits.
The Plan was
amended, effective as of January 1, 2000, to reflect the
changes in the Retirement Plan formula.
Effective as of
July 13, 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
Corporation (formerly known as ITT Industries, Inc. (the
“Corporation”). Effective as of July 13, 2004, the
Plan was further amended to eliminate approval by the Compensation
and Personnel Committee of the Board of Directors for lump sum
payments made on or after September 1, 2004 and to revise the
interest rate assumption utilized to calculate the amount of an
elective lump sum payment available upon retirement to a
Participant who becomes an Eligible Employee after January 1,
2005.
Effective as of
July 1, 2006, the Plan’s name was revised to the ITT
Excess Pension Plan IB.
Effective as of
January 1, 2008, the Plan was amended to freeze participation
and to eliminate the election of lump sum distribution after
December 31, 2008. Effective as of December 21, 2008, the
Plan was amended and restated to comply with the provisions of
Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated
thereunder.
The benefits
accrued and vested under the provisions of the Plan by a
Participant who terminated employment with the Corporation and all
its Associated Companies prior to January 1, 2005 shall be
subject to the provisions of the Plan as in effect on
October 3, 2004. In addition, with respect to a Participant
who was employed by the Corporation or one of its Associated
Companies on January 1, 2005, the portion of his benefit payable
under the provisions of this Plan equal to his Grandfathered
Pre-2005 Benefit (as defined herein) shall be subject to the
provisions of the Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004
(attached hereto as Appendix B 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 A.
All benefits
payable under this Plan, which is intended to constitute both an
unfunded excess benefit plan under Section 3(36) of Title I of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
(“ERISA”), and a nonqualified, unfunded deferred
compensation plan for a select group of management employees under
Title I of ERISA, shall be paid out of the general assets of the
Corporation. The Corporation may establish and fund a trust in
order to aid it in providing benefits due under the
Plan.

Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit shall commence
in accordance with the provisions of the Plan as in effect on

|

TPP formula (as defined in Section 4.01(b) of the Retirement
Plan), if any, is paid. However, if the Participant is not entitled
to a supplemental benefit under the provisions of the ITT Excess
Pension IA attributable to the TPP formula, then unless the
Participant has a valid election under clause (ii) or
(iii) below in effect , the portion of the Participant’s
409A Supplemental Benefit determined under Section 2.02
attributable to the TPP formula (as defined in Section 4.01(b)
of the Retirement Plan) shall be paid in the form of a single life
annuity for the life
|
Page 9
|
|
|
|
of
the Participant, if the Participant is not married on his Annuity
Starting Date, or in the form of 50% joint & survivor annuity,
if the Participant is married (or has a Registered Domestic
Partner) on his Annuity Starting Date.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(ii)
|
|
Subject to the provisions of clause
(iv) below, a Participant who is not entitled to a supplement
benefit under the provisions of the ITT Excess Pension Plan IA
attributable to the TPP formula (as defined in Section 4.01(b)
of the Retirement Plan) may elect to convert his 409A Supplemental
Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to the TPP
formula (as defined in Section 4.01(b) of the Retirement Plan)
into an optional annuity of equivalent actuarial value available to
that Participant under the provisions of Section 4.07(b) of
the Retirement Plan as of his Annuity Starting Date, provided said
optional annuity satisfies the definition of “life
annuity” as provided in Treasury Regs. 1.409A-(2)(b)(2)(ii)
and any further guidance thereto. Such equivalent actuarial value
shall be based on the applicable factors set forth in
Appendix A of the Retirement Plan.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(iii)
|
|
Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of clause (ii) above, a Participant who is not
entitled to a supplement benefit under the provisions of the ITT
Excess Pension Plan IA attributable to the TPP formula (as defined
in Section 4.01(b) of the Retirement Plan) may, subject to the
timing limitations and other restrictions as shall be prescribed by
the Committee, elect, by written notice received by the Committee,
to receive the portion of his entire Supplemental Benefit payable
under this Plan attributable to the TPP formula (as defined in
Section 4.01(b) of the Retirement Plan) in the form of a
single lump sum payment if upon his Termination of Employment he
retires under the provisions of the Retirement Plan at his
Postponed Retirement Date, Normal Retirement Date, Standard Early
Retirement Date or Special Early Retirement Date (as such terms are
defined under the Retirement Plan). Such election must be completed
and filed with the Plan Committee no later than December 31,
2008 and shall become irrevocable as of January 1,
2009.
|
Page 10
|
|
|
|
However, if the Participant who has
made a valid election under the provisions of this
Section 2.04(b)(iii) or under Section 2.04(b)(iii) of the
ITT Excess Pension Plan IA dies after his Early, Normal or
Postponed Retirement Date (as such terms are defined under the
Retirement Plan) but prior to receiving his lump sum payment, the
payment shall be made to the Participant’s Beneficiary with
the calculation of such payment based on the assumption that
payment had been made immediately preceding the Participant’s
date of death. For avoidance of doubt, if a Participant has not
satisfied the eligibility requirements to retire under the
Retirement Plan with an early, normal or postponed retirement
allowance upon his Termination of Employment, the election of a
lump sum payment under the provisions of the clause
(iii) shall not be effective.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Such lump sum payment shall be
calculated on an actuarial equivalent basis using the interest rate
assumption for immediate annuities used by the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) for valuing benefits for
single employer plans as published by the PBGC for the month in
which the payment is effective and the mortality table utilized as
of such date under the provisions of the Retirement Plan to
calculate the amount of a small lump sum cashout. Notwithstanding
the preceding sentence, with respect to a Participant who becomes
an Eligible Employee (as defined in Section 1.14 of the Plan)
after January 1, 2005, such lump sum payment shall be
calculated on an actuarial equivalent basis using the IRS Interest
Rate (as defined in the Retirement Plan) as published in the fourth
month prior to the month following the month in which the
Participant’s Termination of Employment occurs and the
mortality table utilized as of such date under the provisions of
the Retirement Plan to calculate the amount of a small lump sum
cashout. The calculation of a lump sum payment under this clause
(iii) shall be based on the Participant’s benefit
determined pursuant to Section 2.02 attributable to the TPP formula
portion (as defined in Section 4.01(b) of the Retirement Plan)
of such benefit as if it were paid in the form of a single life
annuity to the
|
Page 11
|
|
|
|
Participant. The calculation of a
lump sum payment hereunder shall be made without regard to the
possibility of any future changes after the Participant’s
Annuity Starting Date in the amount of benefits payable under the
Retirement Plan because of future changes in the limitations
referred to in Section 2.02. This lump sum payment plus any
payment made pursuant to the provisions of clause (v) below
represents a complete settlement of all 409A Supplemental Benefits
due on the Participant’s behalf under the Plan.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(iv)
|
|
Notwithstanding the foregoing and
subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, a
