As Amended and Restated as of December 31, 2008
ITT EXCESS PENSION PLAN IA The ITT Excess Benefit Plan I (the " Plan" ) was effective as of July 1, 1975. The purpose of the Plan was to provide those employees participating in the Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees of ITT Corporation or any successor thereto (the " Retirement Plan" ) benefits which would have been payable under the Retirement Plan but for the limitations imposed on qualified plans by Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code.Effective as of October 7, 1986 the ITT Select Management Plan I was authorized by the Board of Directors of ITT Corporation to pay supplemental benefits to certain select management highly compensated employees who have qualified for benefits under the Retirement Plan. As of December 19, 1995, the ITT Select Management Plan I was merged into the ITT Excess Benefit Plan I and the surviving Plan was renamed the ITT Industries Excess Pension Plan I.As of January 1, 1996, the Plan was amended to solely provide to individuals who are designated Eligible Employees under the Plan on and after December 19, 1995 benefits which would have been payable on their behalf under the Retirement Plan but for the limitations on benefits imposed by Section 415 and 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code (the " Code" ), to transfer all liabilities not attributable to such excess benefits into the ITT Industries Excess Pension Plan IB (which is authorized to be effective as of January 1, 1996) and to rename the Plan, as amended, the ITT Industries Excess Pension Plan IA.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 IA.
i
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 31, 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.
