EXCESS PENSION PLAN IB
EFFECTIVE AS OF JANUARY 1, 1996

ITT INDUSTRIES 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. (the "Corporation") 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 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 ITT Industries Salaried Retirement Plan but for the limitations imposed by Sections 415 and 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue 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 Industries. Effective as of July 13, 2004, the Plan was further amended to eliminate approval by the Compensation and Personnel Committee of the Board 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.
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 Corporation. The Corporation may establish and fund a trust in order to aid it in providing benefits due under the Plan.
