Dear Fellow Shareholders:
 
Enclosed are the Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement for ITT’s 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. This year’s meeting is intended to address only the business included on the agenda. Details of the business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting are given in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement, which provides information required by applicable laws and regulations.
 
Your vote is important and we encourage you to vote whether you are a registered owner or a beneficial owner.
 
This year, in accordance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules, we are again using the Internet as our primary means of furnishing proxy materials to shareholders. Because we are using the Internet, most shareholders will not receive paper copies of our proxy materials. We will instead send these shareholders a notice with instructions for accessing the proxy materials and voting via the Internet. This notice also provides information on how shareholders may obtain paper copies of our proxy materials if they so choose. We believe use of the Internet makes the proxy distribution process more efficient, less costly and helps in conserving natural resources.
 
If you are the registered owner of ITT common stock, you may vote your shares by making a toll-free telephone call or using the Internet. Details of these voting options are explained in the Proxy Statement. If you choose to receive paper copies of our proxy materials, you can vote by completing and returning the enclosed proxy card by mail as soon as possible.
 
If you are a beneficial owner and someone else, such as your bank, broker or trustee is the owner of record, the owner of record will communicate with you about how to vote your shares.
 
Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, please vote as soon as possible. If you are a registered owner of ITT common stock and do not plan to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you may vote via the Internet, by telephone or, if you receive a paper proxy card in the mail, by mailing the completed proxy card. Voting by any of these methods will ensure your representation at the Annual Meeting. Your vote is important.
 
Sincerely,  
 
-s- STEVEN R. LORANGER

Why did I receive these proxy materials?  Beginning on or about March    l    , 2011, this Proxy Statement is being mailed or made available, as the case may be, to shareholders who were shareholders as of the March 16, 2011 record date, as part of the Board of Directors’ solicitation of proxies for ITT’s 2011 Annual Meeting and any postponements or adjournments thereof. This Proxy Statement and ITT’s 2010 Annual Report to Shareholders and Annual Report on Form 10-K (which have been furnished to shareholders eligible to vote at the 2011 Annual Meeting) contain information that the Board of Directors believes offers an informed view of ITT Corporation (herein referred to as “ITT” or the “Company”) and meets the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for proxy solicitations.
 
Who is entitled to vote?  You can vote if you owned shares of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on March 16, 2011, the record date.
 
What items of business will I be voting on?  You are voting on the following items of business, which are described on pages 7 to 29:
 
1.  Election of the ten nominees named in the attached Proxy Statement as members of the Board of Directors.
 
2.  Ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as ITT’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for 2011.
 
3.  Approval of the ITT Corporation 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan.
 
4.  Approval of a proposal to amend the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation to allow shareholders to call special meetings.

6.  Determination, in a non-binding vote, of whether a shareholder vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers should occur every one, two or three years.
 
7.  A shareholder proposal requesting that the Company amend, where applicable, ITT’s policies related to human rights.
 
8.  To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting.
 
Information about Voting
 
How do I vote?  If you are registered owner, you can either vote in person at the Annual Meeting or by proxy whether or not you attend the Annual Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner you may vote by submitting voting instructions to your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee. If you are a beneficial owner and your shares are held in a bank or brokerage account you will need to obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from your bank or broker to be able to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. If you are beneficial owner and your shares are held through any of the ITT savings plans for salaried or hourly employees your shares cannot be voted in person at the Annual Meeting.
 
What are the proxy voting procedures?  If you vote by proxy, you can vote by following the voting procedures on the proxy card. You may vote:
 
•  By the Internet,
 
•  By Telephone, by calling from the United States, or
 
•  By Mail.
 
Why does the Board solicit proxies from shareholders?  Since it is impractical for all shareholders to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person, the Board of Directors recommends


1


Table of Contents

that you appoint the three people named on the accompanying proxy card to act as your proxies at the 2011 Annual Meeting.
 
How do the proxies vote?  The proxies vote your shares in accordance with your voting instructions. If you appoint the proxies but do not provide voting instructions, they will vote as recommended by the Board of Directors. If any other matters not described in this Proxy Statement are properly brought before the meeting for a vote, the proxies will use their discretion in deciding how to vote on those matters.
 
How many votes do I have?  You have one vote for every share of ITT common stock that you own.
 
How does the Board of Directors recommend that I vote on the proposals?  The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the election of each of the nominees of the Board of Directors (Item 1), FOR the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as ITT’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for 2011 (Item 2), FOR the approval of the ITT Corporation 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan (Item 3), FOR the approval to Amend the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation to Allow Shareholders to Call Special Meetings (Item 4), FOR the approval of the compensation of our named executive officers (Item 5) and ONE YEAR with respect to how frequently a shareholder vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers should occur (Item 6) and AGAINST the shareholder proposal requesting that the Company amend, where applicable, ITT’s policies related to human rights (Item 7).
 
What if I change my mind?  You can revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised by mailing a new proxy card with a later date or casting a new vote by the Internet or telephone, as applicable. You can also send a written revocation to the Secretary at the address listed on the first page of the Proxy Statement. If you come to the Annual Meeting, you can ask that the proxy you submitted earlier not be used.
 
What is a “broker non-vote”?  The New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) has rules that govern brokers who have record ownership of listed company stock held in brokerage accounts for their clients who beneficially own the shares. Under these rules, brokers who do not receive voting instructions from their clients have the discretion to vote uninstructed shares on certain matters (“discretionary matters”) but do not have discretion to vote uninstructed shares as to certain other matters (“non-discretionary matters”). A broker may return a proxy card on behalf of a beneficial owner from whom the broker has not received instructions that casts a vote with regard to discretionary matters but expressly states that the broker is not voting as to non-discretionary matters. The broker’s inability to vote with respect to the non-discretionary matters to which the broker has not received instructions from the beneficial owner is referred to as a “broker non-vote.” Under current NYSE interpretations, only agenda Item 2, the ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (“Deloitte”) is considered a discretionary item. Your broker does not have discretion to vote your shares held in street name on Items 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7, each of which is considered a non-discretionary item. Under Indiana law, the law of the state where the Company is incorporated, broker non-votes and abstentions are counted to determine whether there is a quorum present.
 
There are seven formal items, including the shareholder proposal, scheduled to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting as described on page 1. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors is not aware of any business other than as described in this Proxy Statement that will be presented for a vote at the 2011 Annual Meeting.
 
How many votes are required to elect Directors or approve a proposal? How many votes are required for an agenda item to pass?  The Restated Articles of Incorporation of ITT Corporation authorize the Company’s By-laws to provide for majority voting for Directors in uncontested elections, and such By-laws further provide that in uncontested elections, any Director nominee who receives less than a majority of the votes cast shall not be elected. The Company’s By-laws


2


Table of Contents

provide for majority voting in uncontested elections. The By-laws provide that in uncontested elections, any Director nominee who fails to be elected by a majority, but who also is a Director at the time, shall promptly provide a written resignation, as a holdover Director, to the Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee shall promptly consider the resignation and all relevant facts and circumstances concerning any vote, including whether the cause of the vote may be cured, and the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The independent Directors of the Board will act on the Nominating and Governance Committee’s recommendation at its next regularly scheduled Board Meeting or within 90 days after certification of the shareholder vote, whichever is earlier, and the Board will promptly publicly disclose its decision and the reasons for its decision. This means that in an uncontested election, to be elected as a Director of ITT, each of the ten director candidates must receive a majority of votes cast.
 
Item 2, Item 4, Item 5 and Item 7 of the proposed agenda items require that the votes cast in favor of the proposal exceed the votes cast against the proposal. Item 6 will be determined by which of the options (i.e, every year, every two years, every three years) receives a majority of the votes cast. Item 2, Item 5, Item 6 and Item 7 are advisory in nature and are non-binding. Under current NYSE rules, Item 3 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal, provided that a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock are voted on the proposal. Abstentions will have no effect on the outcomes of Item 1, Item 2, Item 4, Item 5, Item 6 or Item 7. In addition, broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcomes of Item 1, Item 4, Item 5, Item 6 or Item 7. With respect to Item 3, abstentions are considered “votes cast” under current NYSE rules and thus will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal and will be counted in determining whether a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock are voted on the proposal. Broker non-votes with respect to Item 3 will have no effect on the outcome of the proposal, assuming a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock are otherwise voted on the proposal.
 
How many shares of ITT stock are outstanding?  As of March 16, 2011, the record date, XXX,XXX,XXX shares of ITT common stock were outstanding.
 
How many holders of ITT outstanding shares must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?  In order to conduct business at the Annual Meeting it is necessary to have a quorum. To have a quorum, shareholders entitled to cast a majority of votes at the Annual Meeting must be present in person or by proxy.
 
How do I vote?  With respect to agenda Items 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7, you may vote for, against or abstain from voting. With respect to agenda Item 6, you may vote “one year,” “two years,” “three years,” or abstain from voting.
 
What is the difference between a beneficial owner and a registered owner?  If shares you own are held in an ITT savings plan for salaried or hourly employees, a stock brokerage account, bank or by another holder of record, you are considered the “beneficial owner” because someone else holds the shares on your behalf. If the shares you own are held in a Morgan Stanley Smith Barney account for restricted shares or registered in your name directly with The Bank of New York Mellon, our transfer agent, you are the registered owner and the “shareholder of record.”
 
How do I vote if I am a participant in ITT’s savings plans for salaried or hourly employees?  If you participate in any of the ITT savings plans for salaried or hourly employees, your plan trustee will vote the ITT shares credited to your savings plan account in accordance with your voting instructions, except as otherwise provided in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), as amended. The trustee votes the shares on your behalf because you are the beneficial owner, not the shareholder of record, of the savings plan shares.

Table of Contents

The trustee votes the savings plan shares for which no voting instructions are received (“Undirected Shares”) in the same proportion as the shares for which the trustee receives voting instructions, except as otherwise provided in accordance with ERISA. Under the savings plans, participants are “named fiduciaries” to the extent of their authority to direct the voting of ITT shares credited to their savings plan accounts and their proportionate share of Undirected Shares. By submitting voting instructions by telephone, the Internet or by signing and returning the voting instruction card, you direct the trustee of the savings plans to vote these shares, in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. ITT salaried or hourly plan participants should mail their confidential voting instruction card to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), acting as tabulation agent, or vote by telephone or Internet. Instructions must be received by Broadridge no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time the day before the Annual Meeting.
 
I participate in the ITT savings plan for salaried employees and am a shareholder of record of shares of ITT common stock. How many proxy cards will I receive?  You will receive only one proxy card. Your savings plan shares and any shares you own as the shareholder of record, including ownership through the ITT Direct Purchase, Sale and Dividend Reinvestment Plan, will be set out separately on the proxy card.
 
How many shares are held by participants in the ITT employee savings plans?  As of March 16, 2011, the record date, Wells Fargo Institutional Trust Services, as the trustee for the employee salaried savings plan, held X,XXX,XXX,XXX shares of ITT common stock (approximately l % of the outstanding shares) and The Northern Trust Company, as the trustee for the hourly employees savings plans, held XXX,XXX shares of ITT common stock (approximately 0. l % of the outstanding shares).
 
Who counts the votes? Is my vote confidential?  Representatives of Broadridge count the votes. Representatives of IVS Associates, Inc. will act as Inspectors of Election for the 2011 Annual Meeting. The Inspectors of Election monitor the voting and certify whether the votes of shareholders are kept in confidence in compliance with ITT’s confidential voting policy.
 
Who pays for the proxy solicitation cost?  ITT pays the cost of soliciting proxies from registered owners. ITT has appointed Innisfree M&A Incorporated to help with the solicitation effort. ITT will pay Innisfree M&A Incorporated a fee of $15,000 to assist with the solicitation and reimburse brokers, nominees, custodians and other fiduciaries for their costs in sending proxy materials to beneficial owners.
 
Who solicits proxies?  Directors, officers or other regular employees of ITT may solicit proxies from shareholders in person or by telephone, facsimile transmission or other electronic communication.
 
How does a shareholder submit a proposal for the 2012 Annual Meeting?  Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the “Exchange Act,” establishes the eligibility requirements and the procedures that must be followed for a shareholder proposal to be included in a public company’s proxy materials. Under the rule, if a shareholder wants to include a proposal in ITT’s proxy materials for its next Annual Meeting, the proposal must be received by ITT at its principal executive offices on or before November 29, 2011 and comply with eligibility requirements and procedures. An ITT shareholder who wants to present a matter for action at ITT’s next Annual Meeting, but chooses not to do so under Exchange Act Rule 14a-8, must deliver to ITT, at its principal executive offices, on or before November 29, 2011 a written notice to that effect; provided, however, in the event that the date of the 2012 Annual Meeting is changed by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the 2011 Annual Meeting, such notice must be received not later than 120 days calendar days prior to the 2012 Annual Meeting or 10 calendar days following the date on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting is first made. In either case, as well as for shareholder nominations for Directors, the shareholder must also comply with the requirements in the Company’s By-laws with respect to a shareholder properly bringing business before the Annual Meeting. (You can request a copy of the By-laws from the Secretary of ITT.)

Table of Contents

 
Can a shareholder nominate Director Candidates?  The Company’s By-laws permit shareholders to nominate Directors at the Annual Meeting. To make a Director nomination at the 2012 Annual Meeting, you must submit a notice with the name of the candidate on or before November 29, 2011 to the Secretary of ITT. The nomination and notice must meet all other qualifications and requirements of the Company’s Governance Principles, By-laws and Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act. The nominee will be evaluated by the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board using the same standards as it uses for all Director nominees. These standards are discussed in further detail below at pages 34 to 35 under “Information about the Board of Directors-Director Selection and Composition.” No one may be nominated for election as a Director after he or she has reached 72 years of age. (You can request a copy of the nomination requirements from the Secretary of ITT.)
 
Internet Availability of Proxy Materials
 
In accordance with SEC rules, we are using the Internet as our primary means of furnishing proxy materials to shareholders. Because we are using the Internet, most shareholders will not receive paper copies of our proxy materials. We will instead send these shareholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials with instructions for accessing the proxy materials, including our proxy statement and annual report, and voting via the Internet. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials also provides information on how shareholders may obtain paper copies of our proxy materials if they so choose.
 
Stock Ownership Information
 
The Board of Directors’ share ownership guidelines currently provide for share ownership levels at five times the annual retainer amount. Non-Management Directors receive a portion of their retainer in restricted stock or restricted stock units, which are paid in shares when the restricted stock units vest. Non-Management Directors are encouraged to hold such shares until their total share ownership meets or exceeds the ownership guidelines.
 
Share ownership guidelines for corporate officers, first approved by ITT’s Board of Directors during 2001, are regularly reviewed. The guidelines specify the desired levels of Company stock ownership and encourage a set of behaviors for each officer to reach the guideline levels. The approved guidelines require share ownership expressed as a multiple of base salary for all corporate officers.
 
Specifically the guidelines apply as follows: chief executive officer at five times annual base salary; chief financial officer at three times annual base salary; senior vice presidents and group presidents at two times annual base salary; and all other corporate vice presidents at one times annual base salary. In achieving these ownership levels, shares owned outright, Company restricted stock and restricted stock units, shares held in the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan, shares owned in the ITT Salaried Investment and Savings Plan, and “phantom” shares held in a fund that tracks an index of the Company’s stock in the deferred compensation plan are considered.
 
To attain the ownership levels set forth in the guidelines it is expected that any restricted shares that become unrestricted will be held, and that all shares acquired through the exercise of stock options will be held, except, in all cases, to the extent necessary to meet tax obligations.
 
Compliance with the guidelines is monitored periodically. Consistent with the guidelines, the share ownership levels have been substantially met for most Non-Management Directors and Company officers as of January 31, 2011. Non-Management Directors and Company officers are afforded a reasonable period of time to meet the guidelines. The Company has taken the individual tenure, and Non-Management Directors and corporate officer share ownership levels into account in determining compliance with the guidelines.

The following table shows, as of January 31, 2011, the beneficial ownership of ITT common stock and options exercisable within 60 days by each Director, by each of the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table at page 72, and by all Directors and executive officers as a group. In addition, with respect to Mr. Loranger and Non-Management Directors, we have provided information about ownership of restricted stock units that provides economic linkage to ITT common stock but does not represent actual beneficial ownership of shares.

2.   Ratification of Appointment of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Board of Directors has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as ITT’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2011. Shareholder ratification is not required for making such appointment for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011 because the Audit Committee has responsibility for the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm. The appointment is being submitted for ratification with a view toward soliciting the opinion of shareholders, which opinion will be taken into consideration in future deliberations. No determination has been made as to what action the Board of Directors or the Audit Committee would take if shareholders do not ratify the appointment. Deloitte is a registered public accounting firm by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”). Representatives of Deloitte attended all regularly scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee during 2010. The Audit Committee annually reviews and considers Deloitte’s performance of the Company’s Audit. Performance factors reviewed include Deloitte’s:
 
•  independence
•  experience
•  technical capabilities
•  client service assessment
•  responsiveness
•  financial strength
•  industry insight
•  PCAOB’s 2009 inspection results
•  leadership
•  non-audit services
•  management structure
•  peer review program
•  commitment to quality report
•  appropriateness of fees charged
•  compliance and ethics programs
 
The Audit Committee also reviewed the terms and conditions of Deloitte’s engagement letter including an agreement by the Company to submit disputes between Deloitte and the Company to a dispute resolution process and to limit awards based on punitive or exemplary damages under the dispute resolution procedures.
 
The Audit Committee discussed these considerations as well as Deloitte’s fees and services with Deloitte and Company management. The Audit Committee also determined that any non-audit services (services other than those described in the annual audit services engagement letter) provided by Deloitte were permitted under the rules and regulations concerning auditor independence promulgated by the SEC and rules promulgated by the PCAOB in Rule 3526. Representatives of Deloitte will be present at the 2011 Annual Meeting to answer questions. Representatives of Deloitte also will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so.

Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services
 
The Audit Committee pre-approves audit services provided by Deloitte. The Audit Committee has also adopted a policy on pre-approval of non-audit services provided by Deloitte and certain non-audit services provided by outside internal audit service providers. The purpose of the policy is to identify thresholds for services, project amounts and circumstances where Deloitte and any outside internal audit service providers may perform non-audit services. A second level of review and approval by the Audit Committee is required when such non-audit services, project amounts, or circumstances exceed the specified amounts.
 
The Audit Committee has determined that, where practical, all non-audit services shall first be placed for competitive bid prior to selection of a service provider. Management may select the party deemed best suited for the particular engagement, which may or may not be Deloitte. Providers other than Deloitte shall be preferred in the selection process for non-audit service-related work. The policy and its implementation are reviewed and reaffirmed on a regular basis to assure conformance with applicable rules.

The Audit Committee has approved specific categories of audit, audit-related and tax services incremental to the normal auditing function, which Deloitte may provide without further Audit Committee pre-approval. These categories include among others, the following:
 
1.   Due diligence, closing balance sheet audit services, purchase price dispute support and other services related to mergers, acquisitions and divestitures;
 
2.   Employee benefit advisory services, independent audits and preparation of tax returns for the Company’s defined contribution, defined benefit and health and welfare benefit plans, preparation of the associated tax returns or other employee benefit advisory services;
 
3.   Tax compliance and certain tax planning and advice work; and
 
4.   Accounting consultations and support related to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or government contract compliance.
 
The Audit Committee has also approved specific categories of audit-related services, including the assessment and review of internal controls and the effectiveness of those controls, which outside internal audit service providers may provide without further approval.
 
If fees for any pre-approved non-audit services provided by either Deloitte or any outside internal audit service provider exceed a pre-determined threshold during any calendar year, any additional proposed non-audit services provided by that service provider must be submitted for second-level approval by the Audit Committee. Other audit, audit-related and tax services which have not been pre-approved are subject to specific prior approval. The Audit Committee reviews the fees paid or committed to Deloitte on at least a quarterly basis.
 
The Company may not engage Deloitte to provide the services described below:
 
1.   Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Company;
 
2.   Financial information systems design and implementation;
 
3.   Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports;
 
4.   Actuarial services;
 
5.   Internal auditing services;
 
6.   Management functions or human resources services;
 
7.   Broker-dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services; or
 
8.   Legal services and other expert services unrelated to the audit.
 
Employees of Deloitte who are senior manager level or above, including lead or concurring partners and who have been involved with the Company in the independent audit, shall not be employed by the Company in any capacity for a period of five years after the termination of their activities on the Company account.
 
The Board of Directors recommends you vote FOR the ratification of appointment of the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
 
3.   Approval of the ITT Corporation 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan
 
We request shareholder approval of the ITT Corporation 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”). Upon recommendation of our Compensation and Personnel Committee, the 2011 Plan was approved by our Board of Directors at its February 23, 2011 meeting and will become effective upon approval by the Company’s shareholders at our 2011 Annual Meeting. The 2011 Plan is intended to replace the ITT Corporation 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Prior Plan” or the “2003 Plan”) on a prospective basis. If the 2011 Plan is approved by our shareholders, the 2011 Plan will


16


Table of Contents

replace the Prior Plan, on a prospective basis. If the 2011 Plan is not approved by our shareholders, the 2011 Plan will be null and void and the Prior Plan will remain in effect. Awards previously granted under the Prior Plan will remain in effect in accordance with their terms and the terms of the Prior Plan. We currently have no other plan that provides for grants of stock awards to our employees or directors.
 
A total of 9,200,00 shares of our common stock will be reserved for issuance under the 2011 Plan, plus any shares that remain available for grants of awards under the Prior Plan at the time of the approval of the 2011 Plan, which will be transferred to the 2011 Plan. For this purpose, shares that are subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plan are not considered available for grants. The 2011 Plan contains a separate limit on the number of shares that can be issued with respect to “full value awards,” which includes restricted stock, restricted stock units and other awards other than stock options and stock appreciation rights granted with an exercise price at least equal to the fair market value of our shares on the grant date. This separate limit provides that 4,600,000 shares, plus any shares that remain available for full value awards under the Prior Plan will be available for issuance with respect to full value awards. As described in greater detail below, the 2011 Plan also provides that in certain circumstances where no shares are issued with respect to Prior Plan awards, such as upon forfeiture of the award, the shares subject to the Prior Plan award will be added to the 2011 Plan’s share reserves. As of December 31, 2010, the Prior Plan had 2,881,070 shares available for future grants of awards of which 1,447,257 could be issued as full value awards.
 
The following is a summary of the material terms of the 2011 Plan, as amended. The description of the 2011 Plan is qualified in its entirety by the actual provisions of the 2011 Plan, which is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix B.
 
Summary Description of the 2011 Plan
 
History of Stock Plans.  The 2011 Plan is a new plan that replaces, on a prospective basis, the Prior Plan. The Prior Plan was approved by the Board of Directors on March 11, 2003 and became effective upon approval by the shareholders at the 2003 Annual Meeting. On May 13, 2003, the Prior Plan replaced, on a prospective basis, the 2002 ITT Industries Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors, the ITT Industries 1996 Restricted Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors, and the 1994 ITT Industries Incentive Stock Plan. No new grants may be made from these prior plans.
 
Administration.  The 2011 Plan is administered by the Compensation and Personnel Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors, which we refer to in this summary as the committee. The committee interprets the terms and intent of the 2011 Plan and determines who is eligible to receive awards under the 2011 Plan. The committee may adopt rules, regulations and guidelines for administering the 2011 Plan and may delegate administrative duties to one or more of its members or to one or more agents or advisors. Additionally, the committee may, by resolution, authorize one or more of our officers to designate who can receive awards and the size of the awards, except that the committee may not delegate these responsibilities to any officer for awards granted to an employee that is considered one of our elected officers, or to the extent it would unintentionally cause awards not to qualify as performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
Eligibility.  All of our employees and directors and the employees of our subsidiaries and other affiliates are eligible to participate in the 2011 Plan. All employees and all non-employee directors are currently eligible to participate. Because the 2011 Plan provides for broad discretion in selecting participants and in making awards, the total number of persons who will participate in the 2011 Plan and the benefits that will be provided to the participants cannot be determined at this time.

Stock Available for Issuance Under the 2011 Plan.  Subject to adjustment as provided in the 2011 Plan, the number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the 2011 Plan shall be 9,200,000. In addition, (i) any shares remaining available for issuance under the Prior Plan that are not subject to outstanding awards as of the date of approval of the 2011 Plan shall also become available for grant under the 2011 Plan and (ii) any shares related to awards under the 2011 Plan or the Prior Plan that terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation, or otherwise without the issuance of such shares, or are settled in cash in lieu of shares, or are exchanged with the committee’s permission for awards not involving shares, shall be available again for grant under the 2011 Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) upon the exercise of a stock-settled stock appreciation right or net-settled option granted under the 2011 Plan, the number of shares subject to the award (or portion of the award) that is then being exercised shall be counted against the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the 2011 Plan as provided above, on the basis of one share for every share subject thereto, regardless of the actual number of shares issued upon exercise and (y) any shares withheld (or, with respect to restricted stock, returned) in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations shall be counted as shares issued.
 
Subject to adjustment as provided in the 2011 Plan, the number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance of full value awards shall not exceed 4,600,000. In addition, (i) any shares remaining available for issuance of full value awards under the Prior Plan as of the date of approval of the 2011 Plan shall only be available for grant of full value awards under the 2011 Plan and (ii) any shares related to full value awards under the 2011 Plan or the Prior Plan that terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation, or otherwise without the issuance of such shares, are settled in cash in lieu of shares, or are exchanged with the committee’s permission for awards not involving shares, shall only be available again for grant of full value awards under the 2011 Plan.
 
Description of Awards Under the 2011 Plan.  Stock-based compensation will typically be issued in consideration for the performance of services to us and our subsidiaries and other affiliates. The 2011 Plan provides for a number of forms of stock-based compensation. The committee may award stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other awards as described below.
 
Stock Options.  The committee can award incentive stock options, which are intended to comply with Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, or nonqualified stock options, which are not intended to comply with Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. The committee determines the terms of the stock options, including the period during which the stock options may be exercised, which may not exceed ten years, and the exercise price of the stock options, which, except with respect to stock options granted outside the United States, may not be less than the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock on the date the stock option is granted. A nonqualified stock option granted outside the United States may be granted with an exercise price less than the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock on the date of grant if necessary to comply with local tax laws and regulations. Subject to the specific terms of the 2011 Plan, the committee has discretion to set any additional limitations on stock option grants as it deems appropriate.
 
Each stock option award agreement sets forth the extent to which the participant will have the right to exercise the stock option following termination of the participant’s employment or service as a director. The termination provisions are determined within the discretion of the committee, need not be uniform among all participants and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of employment or service as a director.
 
Upon the exercise of a stock option granted under the 2011 Plan, the exercise price is payable in full either in cash or its equivalent, tendering (either by actual delivery or attestation) previously acquired shares having an aggregate fair market value at the time of exercise equal to the exercise


18


Table of Contents

price, broker-assisted cashless exercise, net exercise, a combination of the foregoing or by any other method approved by the committee in its sole discretion.
 
Stock Appreciation Rights.  The committee may grant stock appreciation rights in tandem with stock options, freestanding and unrelated to options, or any combination of these forms. In any case, the form of payment of a stock appreciation right will be determined by the committee at the time of grant, and may be in shares of common stock, cash, or a combination of the two. If granted other than in tandem, the committee will determine the number of shares of common stock covered by, and the exercise period for, the stock appreciation right.
 
The 2011 Plan provides that, unless required to comply with applicable foreign laws, a stock appreciation right’s base price may not be less than the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock on the date the stock appreciation right is granted. Stock appreciation rights granted outside the United States may be granted with a base price less than the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock on the date of grant if necessary to comply with local tax laws and regulations.
 
Upon exercise of the stock appreciation right, the participant will receive an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of one share of stock on the date of exercise over the fair market value of one share of the stock on the grant date, multiplied by the number of shares of stock covered by the stock appreciation right exercise. If granted in tandem with an option, a stock appreciation right’s exercise period may not exceed that of the option. The participant may exercise a tandem stock appreciation right when the option is exercisable, surrender the option, and receive on exercise an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of one share of stock on the date we receive the surrender election over the option exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares of stock covered by the stock appreciation right exercise.
 
Each stock appreciation right award agreement will set forth the extent to which the participant will have the right to exercise the stock appreciation right following termination of the participant’s employment or service as a director. The termination provisions will be determined within the discretion of the committee, need not be uniform among all participants and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of employment or service as a director.
 
Restricted Stock.  The committee is also authorized to award shares of restricted common stock under the 2011 Plan upon such terms and conditions as it may establish. The participants may be required to pay a purchase price for each share of restricted stock granted. The award agreement will specify the period(s) of restriction, the number of shares of restricted common stock granted, such other provisions as the committee determines and/or restrictions under applicable federal or state securities laws. Although participants may have the right to vote these shares from the date of grant, they will not have the right to sell or otherwise transfer the shares during the applicable period of restriction or until satisfaction of other conditions imposed by the committee in its sole discretion. Participants may also receive dividends on their shares of restricted stock and the committee, in its discretion, will determine how such dividends are to be paid.
 
Each award agreement for restricted stock will set forth the extent to which the participant will have the right to retain unvested restricted stock following termination of the participant’s employment or service as a director. These provisions are determined in the sole discretion of the committee, need not be uniform among all shares of restricted stock issued under the 2011 Plan and may reflect distinctions based on reasons for termination of employment or service as a director.
 
Restricted Stock Units.  The committee is also authorized to award restricted stock units under the 2011 Plan upon such terms and conditions as it establishes. The award agreement will specify the period(s) of restriction, the number of restricted stock units granted, such other provisions as the committee determines and/or restrictions under applicable federal or state securities laws. The participants have no voting rights with respect to the restricted stock units and do not have the


19


Table of Contents

right to sell or otherwise transfer the units during the applicable period of restriction or until earlier satisfaction of other conditions imposed by the committee in its sole discretion. Participants may receive credit for dividends or dividend equivalents on their restricted stock units and the committee, in its discretion, will determine how such credits for dividends or dividend equivalents on restricted stock units are to be paid.
 
Each award agreement for restricted stock units will set forth the extent to which the participant will have the right to retain unvested restricted stock units following termination of the participant’s employment or service as a director. These provisions will be determined in the sole discretion of the committee, need not be uniform among all awards of restricted stock units issued under the 2011 Plan and may reflect distinctions based on reasons for termination of employment or service as a director.
 
Other Awards.  The committee may grant other awards which may include, without limitation, unrestricted shares, the payment of shares in lieu of cash, the payment of cash based on attainment of performance goals, service conditions or other goals established by the committee and the payment of shares in lieu of cash under other incentive or bonus programs. Payment under or settlement of any such other awards shall be made in such manner at such times and subject to such terms and conditions as the committee may determine.
 
Performance Measures.  The committee may grant awards under the 2011 Plan subject to the attainment of the following performance measures: net earnings, earnings per share, net income (before or after taxes), net sales growth, net operating profit, return measures (including, but not limited to, return on assets, capital, equity, or sales), productivity ratios, expense targets, working capital targets, cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow and free cash flow), cash flow return on capital, earnings before or after taxes, interest, depreciation and/or amortization, gross or operating margins, margins, operating efficiency, customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction metrics, human resources metrics, share price (including, but not limited to, growth measures and total shareholder return), and Economic Value Added or EVA®.
 
Performance measures may be measured solely on the company’s or an affiliate’s performance, on a business unit basis, or a combination thereof. Performance measures may reflect absolute entity performance or a relative comparison of entity performance to the performance of a group of comparator companies, or published or special index that the committee selects. The committee may also compare the company’s stock price to various stock market indices. The committee may provide in any award that any evaluation of performance may include or exclude any of the following events that occur during a performance period: (1) asset write-downs, (2) litigation or claim judgments or settlements, (3) the effect of changes in tax laws, accounting principles, or other laws or provisions affecting reported results, (4) any reorganization and restructuring programs, (5) extraordinary nonrecurring items as described in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 225-30, (formerly) Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, and/or in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in the Company’s annual report to shareholders for the applicable year, (6) acquisitions or divestitures, and (7) foreign exchange gains and losses.
 
Subject to the individual and 2011 Plan limits described herein, the number of performance-based awards granted to any participant in any year is determined by the committee in its sole discretion. The committee may reduce, but not increase, the value of a performance-based award.
 
Individual Limits.  The maximum number of shares with respect to which stock options may be granted to an individual during any one year is 3,500,000. The maximum number of shares with respect to which stock appreciation rights may be granted to any individual during any one year is 3,500,000. The maximum number of shares of restricted stock or restricted stock units that may be granted to an individual during any one year is 700,000. The maximum number of shares with respect to which other awards that may be granted to an individual during any one year is 700,000 and the maximum cash that may be payable with respect to other awards granted to an individual


20


Table of Contents

in any one year is $15,000,000. The maximum aggregate value of cash dividends or dividend equivalents that any individual may receive pursuant to awards in any one year shall not exceed $6,000,000.
 
Adjustment, Change of Control and Amendments.  The 2011 Plan provides for appropriate adjustments in the number and nature of shares of common stock subject to outstanding awards, the number of shares available for awards under the 2011 Plan, the individual award limits in the 2011 Plan and the exercise price of options and the grant price of stock appreciation rights, in the event of restructuring events and certain other events that change the value of our stock, such as a merger, reorganization, stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization through a large, non-recurring cash dividend, spin off or other similar event. The committee specifies in each Participant’s award agreement the treatment of outstanding awards upon a change of control.
 
The 2011 Plan may be modified or amended by the committee at any time and for any purpose which the committee deems appropriate, except that no amendment can adversely affect any outstanding awards in a material way without the affected award holder’s consent. Except for adjustments made in connection with events described in the prior paragraph, the exercise price of stock options and the grant price of stock appreciation rights issued under the 2011 Plan may not be reduced without the approval of shareholders.
 
Nontransferability.  Unless otherwise determined by the committee and provided in a participant’s award agreement, awards may not be assigned or transferred by a 2011 Plan participant except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any stock option or stock appreciation right is exercisable during a participant’s lifetime only by the participant or by the participant’s guardian or legal representative. Nonqualified stock options and stock appreciation rights may not be transferred for value or consideration.
 
Section 162(m).  Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code places a limit of $1 million on the amount we may deduct in any one year for compensation paid to our principal executive officer and our other three most highly-compensated executive officers other than our principal financial officer. There is, however, an exception to this limitation for certain performance-based compensation. Awards made pursuant to the 2011 Plan may constitute performance-based compensation that is not subject to the deductibility limitation of Section 162(m). To qualify for this exception, the shareholders must approve the material terms of the performance goals of the plan. To continue to qualify for this exception, the shareholders must reapprove the material terms of the performance goals of the plan every five years.
 
Approval of the 2011 Plan by our shareholders at the 2011 Annual Meeting will be deemed to constitute approval of the material terms of the performance goals under the 2011 Plan for purposes of Section 162(m). The material terms of the performance goals include the persons eligible to participate in the 2011 Plan, as described under the heading “Eligibility” above, the performance measures upon which performance awards will be based, as described under the heading “Performance Measures” above, and the maximum shares or cash value of awards that may be granted to an individual in any one year, as described under the heading “Individual Limits” above.
 
Duration of the 2011 Plan.  Subject to the committee’s right to terminate the 2011 Plan earlier, the 2011 Plan will remain in effect until all shares subject to the 2011 Plan have been purchased or acquired.
 
Federal Income Tax Consequences.  The following discussion covers some of the United States federal income tax consequences with respect to awards that may be granted under the 2011 Plan. It is a brief summary only. Participants should consult with their tax advisors for a complete statement of all relevant federal tax consequences. This summary does not describe state, local, or foreign tax consequences of an individual’s participation in the 2011 Plan.

Federal Income Tax Consequences — Participants
 
Options.  A plan participant will not recognize income for federal income tax purposes when incentive stock options are granted or exercised. If the participant disposes of shares acquired by exercise of an incentive stock option either before the expiration of two years from the date the options are granted or within one year after the issuance of shares upon exercise of the incentive stock option, the participant will recognize in the year of disposition: (a) ordinary income, to the extent the lesser of either (1) the fair market value of the shares on the date of option exercise, or (2) the amount realized on disposition, exceeds the option exercise price; and (b) capital gain, to the extent the amount realized on disposition exceeds the fair market value of the shares on the date of option exercise. If the shares are sold after expiration of these holding periods, the participant generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on disposition and the option exercise price.
 
The exercise of an incentive stock option may result in alternative minimum tax liability. The excess of the fair market value of the shares purchased on exercise of an incentive stock option over the exercise price paid for such shares is considered alternative minimum taxable income for alternative minimum tax purposes.
 
With respect to nonqualified stock options, the participant will recognize no income upon grant of the option, and, upon exercise, will recognize ordinary income to the extent of the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of option exercise over the stock option exercise price.
 
Upon a subsequent disposition of the shares received from the exercise of an option, the participant generally will recognize capital gain or loss to the extent of the difference between the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise and the amount realized on the disposition.
 
Stock Appreciation Rights.  The recipient of a grant of stock appreciation rights will not realize taxable income on the date of such grant. Upon the exercise of a stock appreciation right, the recipient will realize ordinary income equal to the amount of cash or fair market value of stock received.
 
Restricted Stock.  A participant holding restricted stock will, at the time the shares vest, realize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares and any cash received at the time of vesting. Dividends paid to the participant on the restricted stock during the restriction period will generally be ordinary income to the participant.
 
Restricted Stock Units.  A participant holding restricted stock units will, at the time the units vest, realize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares and any cash received at the time of vesting.
 
Other Awards.  The tax consequences of other awards will depend upon the terms and conditions of such awards as determined by the committee. However, a participant holding other awards will generally realize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares or cash received at the time of payment of shares or cash.
 
Federal Tax Consequences — ITT Corporation.  In general, we will receive an income tax deduction at the same time and in the same amount as the amount which is taxable to the employee as ordinary income, except to the extent prohibited by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. To the extent a participant realizes capital gains, as described above, we will not be entitled to any corresponding deduction for federal income tax purposes.
 
Section 162(m).  As described above, under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, compensation paid to covered employees in excess of $1 million for any taxable year generally is not deductible by us unless such compensation qualifies as performance-based compensation, which requires, among other things, that the compensation is paid pursuant to a plan, the material terms of which have been approved by our shareholders.


22


Table of Contents

 
Generally, a covered employee under Section 162(m) means the principal executive officer and our three other highest compensated executive officers, other than our principal financial officer, as of the last day of the applicable taxable year.
 
It is presently anticipated that the committee will at all times consist of outside directors as required for purposes of Section 162(m), and that the committee will take the effect of Section 162(m) into consideration in structuring plan awards.
 
Future Plan Benefits.  The future benefits that will be received under the plan by particular individuals or groups are not determinable at this time.
 
The Board of Directors Recommendation
 
Under the laws of the State of Indiana, this matter is approved if the votes cast in favor of the proposal exceed the votes cast against the proposal. Accordingly, neither abstentions nor broker non-votes have any effect on the votes required under Indiana law. However, under NYSE rules, the 2011 Plan must be approved by a majority of the votes cast and the number of votes cast must represent more than 50% of all the shares entitled to vote. For purposes of the approval required under the New York Stock Exchange rules, abstentions will have the effect of a vote against this agenda item and broker non-votes will have no effect, except to the extent they impact whether the 50% of all common shares entitled to vote test has been satisfied. For the purpose of determining whether the number of votes cast represents more than 50% of the shares of common stock entitled to vote, abstentions will count as votes cast and broker non-votes will not count as votes cast. Approval of the material terms of the plan for purposes of Section 162(m) requires the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast. For this purpose, abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal and broker non-votes will have no effect.
 
The Board of Directors recommends you vote FOR approval of the ITT Corporation 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan.

4.   Approval of a Proposal to Amend the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation to Allow Shareholders to Call Special Meetings
 
The Company’s Board of Directors has proposed, and recommends that shareholders approve at the Annual Meeting, an amendment to the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation that would add a right permitting the Secretary of the Company to call a special meeting upon the written request of shareholders of record having, as of the date of the special meeting request, least thirty-five (35%) percent of the voting power (excluding derivative securities from the determination of satisfaction of such threshold in order to ensure that the shareholder(s) seeking to call a special meeting have a true economic interest in the Company) of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company, provided that such special meeting request complies and is in accordance with the By-laws of the Company. Currently, only the entire Board of Directors (by majority vote) and the Chairman of the Board may call a special meeting of shareholders. The Board of Directors believes that establishing an ownership threshold of, and economic interest in, at least 35% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company in order for shareholders to request a special meeting strikes an appropriate balance between enhancing the rights of shareholders and seeking to avoid the situations that could arise if the threshold were set too low. The Board of Directors believes that calling a special meeting of shareholders is not a matter to be taken lightly. We believe that a special meeting should only be held to cover special or extraordinary events when fiduciary, strategic, significant transactional or similar considerations dictate that the matter be addressed on an expeditious basis, rather than waiting until the next annual meeting. Organizing and preparing for a special meeting involves significant management commitment of time and focus, and imposes substantial legal, administrative and distribution costs. We believe that setting the threshold too low carries a risk of frequent meeting requests, potentially covering agenda items relevant to particular constituencies as opposed to shareholders generally, with significant cost, management distraction and diversion of other corporate resources. We therefore have concluded that a lower threshold would not be in the best interest of shareholders and accordingly have chosen to propose a threshold percentage of 35%.
 
The Board of Directors has also adopted corresponding amendments to Company’s By-laws, which amendments shall become effective upon the approval by shareholders of this proposal to amend the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation. The By-laws amendment contains procedural and informational requirements for shareholders to call a special meeting and modifies the advance notice requirements for shareholder nominations of directors and the proposal of other business, as applicable, at an annual or special meeting of shareholders (whether called by shareholders or otherwise). The procedural and informational requirements for shareholders to call a special meeting include: no business may be conducted at the special meeting except as set forth in the Company’s notice of meeting; no shareholder special meeting request shall be effective if received by the Secretary during the period commencing 90 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the immediately preceding annual meeting and ending on the date of the next annual meeting; a special meeting request shall not be effective if an annual or special meeting of shareholders that included an identical or substantially similar item of business (“similar business”) was held not more than 120 days before the special meeting request was received by the Secretary; a special meeting will not be held if the Board of

Directors or the Chairman of the Board has called or calls for an annual or special meeting to be held within 90 days after the special meeting request is received by the Secretary and the business to be conducted at such meeting included the similar business; any reduction in the aggregate net long position of the requesting shareholder below the 35% threshold following the delivery of the special meeting request shall constitute a revocation of such special meeting request; and in determining whether the 35% threshold has been satisfied where multiple requests are submitted, only requests dated and delivered to the Secretary within 60 days of the earliest dated special meeting request and identifying substantially the same purpose or purposes of the special meeting and substantially the same matters proposed to be acted on at the meeting will be considered together. The modifications to the advance notice requirements for shareholder nominations of directors and the proposal of other business, as applicable, at an annual or special meeting of shareholders (whether called by shareholders or otherwise) include that the requesting shareholder’s notice must include information as to the business proposed to be conducted, and/or as to each nominee (as applicable), as to the shareholder giving notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made and a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including without limitation any swap or other derivative or short position, profits interest, hedging transaction, borrowed or loaned shares, any contract to purchase or sell, acquisition or grant of any option, right or warrant to purchase or sell, or other instrument), the intent or effect of which may be (x) to transfer any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security of the Company, (y) to increase or decrease the voting power with respect to shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Company and/or (z) to provide the opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from, or to otherwise benefit economically from, or to mitigate any loss resulting from, the value (or any increase or decrease in the value) of any security of the Company, as well as require periodic updating and supplementing of the information required to be provided so such information shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting and date that is 15 days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. In addition, a shareholder seeking to submit a director nomination or propose other business at an annual meeting must provide notice to the Company not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the date of the Company’s Proxy Statement released to shareholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting; provided however, that if no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the date of the annual meeting is changed by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the previous year’s annual meeting, notice by the shareholder must be received not earlier than 120 days prior to such meeting and not later than the later of 90 days prior to such meeting or 10 days following the date on which the public announcement of the date of the meeting is first made. In the case of a special meeting called by the Company for the purpose of electing directors, shareholder notice must be given not earlier than 120 days prior to such special meeting and not later than 90 days prior to such special meeting or 10 days following the date on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting.
 
The descriptions of the amendments to the Restated Articles of Incorporation and By-laws are qualified in their entirety by the complete text of the proposed amendment to the Restated Articles of Incorporation, set forth in Appendix C, and corresponding the amendment to the By-laws, set forth in Appendix D.
 
Under the laws of the state of Indiana, this proposal is approved if the votes cast in favor of the proposal exceed the votes cast against, and the amendment to the Restated Articles of Incorporation will become effective upon the filing of Articles of Amendment to the Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Indiana substantially in the form attached as Appendix C, which the Company intends to do promptly after the Annual Meeting, at which time the corresponding amendments to the By-laws, substantially in the form attached as Appendix D, would be come effective.
 
The Board of Directors recommends you vote FOR the proposal to amend the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation to allow shareholders to call special meetings.

5.   Non-Binding Advisory Vote to Ratify Named Executive Officers’ Compensation
 
In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act (which was added by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”)) and the related rules of the SEC, we are including in these proxy materials a separate resolution subject to shareholder vote to approve, in a non-binding vote, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed on pages 50 to 101. The text of the resolution in respect of Proposal No. 5 is as follows:
 
“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to the rules of the SEC, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables, and any related narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED.”
 
In considering their vote, shareholders may wish to review with care the information on the Company’s compensation policies and decisions regarding the named executive officers presented in Compensation Discussion and Analysis on pages 50 to 101.
 
In particular, shareholders should note that the Company’s Compensation Committee bases its executive compensation decisions on the following:
 
•  alignment of executive and shareholder interests by providing incentives linked to earnings per share performance, revenue, free cash flow and return on invested capital;
 
•  the ability for executives to achieve long-term shareholder value creation without undue business risk;
 
•  creating a clear link between an executive’s compensation and his or her individual contribution and performance;
 
•  the extremely competitive nature of the industries in which we operate, whether in manufacturing or defense, and our need to attract and retain the most creative and talented industry leaders; and
 
•  comparability to the practices of peers in the industries that we operate in and other comparable companies generally.
 
While the results of the vote are advisory in nature the Board of Directors intends to carefully consider the results of the vote.
 
The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the approval of the compensation of our named executive officers.
 
6.   Non-Binding Advisory Vote on the Frequency of Shareholder Votes on Executive Compensation
 
In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act (which was added by the Dodd-Frank Act) and the related rules of the SEC, we are including in these proxy materials a separate resolution subject to shareholder vote to recommend, in a non-binding vote, whether a non-binding shareholder vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers (that is, votes similar to the non-binding vote in Proposal No. 5) should occur every one, two or three years.
 
In considering their vote, shareholders may wish to review with care the information presented in connection with Proposal No. 5 on page 26, as well as the information on the Company’s compensation policies and decisions regarding the named executive officers presented in Compensation Discussion and Analysis on pages 50 to 101.
 
We believe that a non-binding shareholder vote on executive compensation should occur every year. We believe the one-year frequency provides the highest level of accountability and communication by enabling the non-binding shareholder vote to approve the compensation of our named


26


Table of Contents

executive officers to correspond with the most recent executive compensation information presented in our proxy statement for our annual meetings of shareholders.
 
We believe that providing the vote only every two or three years may prevent shareholders from communicating in a meaningful and coherent manner. For example, we may not know whether the shareholder vote approves or disapproves of compensation for the reporting period or the compensation for previous reporting periods or both. As a result, the implications of the shareholder vote could be difficult to discern.
 
If the non-binding vote on executive compensation will occur every year, a resolution subject to a non-binding shareholder vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers will be presented in the proxy materials for the 2012 Annual Meeting of shareholders.
 
For the reasons stated above, the Board of Directors is recommending a vote for a one-year frequency for the non-binding shareholder vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers. Note that shareholders are not voting to approve or disapprove the recommendation of the Board of Directors with respect to this proposal. Instead, each proxy card provides for four choices with respect to this proposal: a one, two or three year frequency or shareholders may abstain from voting on the proposal.
 
Your vote on this proposal will be non-binding on us and the Board of Directors, and it will not be construed as overruling a decision by us or the Board of Directors. Your vote will not create or imply any change to our fiduciary duties or create or imply any additional fiduciary duties for us or the Board of Directors. However, the Board of Directors values the opinions that our shareholders express in their votes and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future decisions on the inclusion of such proposals in the proxy materials as it deems appropriate.
 
The Board of Directors recommends that you vote ONE YEAR with respect to how frequently a non-binding shareholder vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers should occur.
 
7.   Shareholder Proposal Requesting the Company Amend, where Applicable, ITT’s Policies Related to Human Rights
 
Several shareholders have advised the Company that they intend to present the following resolution at the Annual Meeting. In accordance with applicable proxy regulations, the proposed resolution and supporting statement, for which the Board of Directors and the Company accept no responsibility, are set forth below. Approval of this proposal would require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast of ITT stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Identical shareholder proposals were received from each of the following Mercy Investment Services, Inc., 2039 North Geyer Road St. Louis, MO 63131-3332; the Presbyterian Church (USA), 100 Witherspoon Street Louisville, KY 40202-1396; and The Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, 815 Second Avenue New York, NY 10017-4503 (collectively, the “Proponents”), which shareholders hold 56, 54, and 8,100 shares respectively.
 
2011 ITT Shareholder Resolution on Human Rights Policy
 
Whereas, ITT, as a global corporation, faces increasingly complex problems as the international social, and cultural context within which ITT operates changes.
 
Companies confront ethical and legal challenges arising from diverse cultures and political and economic contexts or operating in regions of conflict. Today, management must address issues that include human rights, workers’ right to organize and bargain collectively, non-discrimination in the workplace, environmental protection and sustainable community development. ITT does business in countries with human rights challenges including Colombia, Egypt and Israel.


27


Table of Contents

 
Several international conventions, declarations and treaties contain internationally recognized standards designed to protect human rights — civil, political, social environmental, cultural and economic — that should be reflected in ITT’s policies. These include the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Fourth Geneva Convention, the Hague Conventions, International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the core labor standards of the International Labor Organization, and the International Covenant on Economic, Cultural and Social Rights. We believe these documents will help inform ITT’s revision of its human rights policy. Also, United Nations resolutions and reports of special rapporteurs on countries where ITT does business, and “Norms on the Responsibilities of Transnational Corporations and Other Business Enterprises with Regard to Human Rights,” adopted by the United Nations Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights in August 2003 are helpful, as are the comprehensive human rights policies designed for global companies found in “Principles for Global Corporate Responsibility: Bench Marks for Measuring Business Performance,” developed by an international group of religious investors.
 
As companies formulate comprehensive policies, we believe significant commercial advantages may accrue through enhanced corporate reputation, improved employee recruitment and retention, improved community and stakeholder relations and reduced risk of adverse publicity, consumer boycotts, divestment campaigns and lawsuits.
 
Resolved, shareholders request the Board to amend, where applicable, within ten months of the 2011 Annual Meeting, ITT’s policies related to human rights that guide its international and U.S. operations to conform more fully with international human rights and humanitarian standards.
 
SUPPORTING STATEMENT
 
We believe ITT’s current human rights policies are limited in scope, and provide little or no guidance for determining business relationships where our products or services could entangle the company in human rights violations. Although we do not recommend inclusion of any specific provision of the above-named documents in the revised policy, we believe ITT’s policies should reflect a more comprehensive understanding of human rights.
 
ITT should be able to assure shareholders that employees are treated fairly and with dignity wherever they work in the global economy. Going beyond internal practices, however, ITT should also provide similar assurance that its products and services are not used in human rights violations. One element of ensuring compliance is utilization of independent monitors composed of respected local human rights, religious and non-governmental organizations that know local culture and conditions. We believe the adoption of a more comprehensive human rights policy, coupled with implementation, enforcement and independent monitoring, will assure shareholders of ITT’s global leadership.
 
Board of Directors’ Statement in Opposition of the Proposal
 
The proposal requests that, within ten months of the 2011 annual meeting of shareholders, the Company revise its policies related to human rights that guide its international and U.S. operations in order to have them conform more fully with international human rights and humanitarian standards.
 
ITT has long supported human rights through its business practices and directly through a specific provision in its Code of Conduct. ITT has also included such rights in its ITT Management System (“IMS”) which incorporates ITT’s values. Over the past several years, ITT has continued to demonstrate progress in benchmarking and communicating its commitment to human rights. This commitment was further evidenced this year with the adoption of this Policy on Human Rights.

Table of Contents

 
Beginning in 2008, ITT’s Vision and Values instituted a systematic company-wide commitment to respect, responsibility and integrity:
 
ITT Management System Values: Respect, Responsibility, & Integrity
 
  •  Our values are our compass — we strive to do the right thing always
 
  •  Treat others fairly and courteously
 
  •  Sustain a culture of diversity and inclusion
 
This Vision and Values are fundamental to our culture and they are codified in ITT’s Code of Conduct which is available on the Company’s web site at http://www.itt.com/citizenship/governance/code-conduct/. To ensure awareness of ITT’s leadership commitments, the Company conducts training for its employees. This training reinforces the responsibility of all employees to act ethically and report possible violations.
 
In 2009, ITT modified its Code of Conduct to add specific language regarding its commitment to Human Rights:
 
Code of Conduct:
 
We are committed to conducting our business in a manner that respects and advances human rights based on our values and operating principles. We uphold human rights at all times and in all locations, regardless of local business customs.
 
In particular, we are committed to:
 
  •  Providing safe and secure conditions for those working on our Company’s behalf
 
  •  Protecting the environment
 
  •  Following all applicable wage and hour laws
 
  •  Strictly prohibiting human trafficking and the use of child or forced labor, including prison or bonded labor
 
  •  Treating each other fairly and equitably
 
To ensure that every facet of our business upholds these standards, we seek business partners who share these commitments.
 
Then, in 2010, ITT conducted further researched and benchmarked corporate best practices on Human Rights. Based on the results from that external benchmarking effort, and with a desire to continuously improve ITT’s ethical culture, in 2011, ITT implemented a specific Policy on Human Rights. The policy, which operates in conjunction with ITT’s Vision and Values and Code of Conduct, applies to all ITT employees worldwide and to ITT’s global supply chain partners within ITT’s sphere of influence.
 
ITT’s newly implemented Policy on Human Rights states that ITT fully supports and adheres to the principles of both the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the United Nations Global Compact where we operate. Furthermore, the policy states that ITT will work to identify and do business with supply chain partners who aspire to conduct their business in a similar manner. To underscore this commitment, the Company has published the full policy on its web site at http://www.itt.com/citizenship/employees/.
 
For the foregoing reasons, the Board of Directors believes that ITT has substantially fulfilled the request of this shareholder proposal with the adoption of its Policy on Human Rights.
 
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote AGAINST this shareholder proposal.

Information about the Board of Directors
 
Responsibilities of the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors sets policy for ITT and advises and counsels the chief executive officer and the executive officers who manage the Company’s business and affairs. The Board of Directors is responsible for assuring that:
 
•  the Company’s businesses are conducted in conformity with applicable laws and regulations;
 
•  the Company’s systems of financial reporting and internal controls are adequate and properly implemented and the Company has appropriate risk management structures in place;
 
•  there is continuity in the leadership of the Company;
 
•  management develops sound business strategies;
 
•  adequate capital and managerial resources are available to implement the business strategies;
 
•  the Company’s long-term strategies, significant investments in new businesses, joint ventures and partnerships and significant business acquisitions, including assessment of balance sheet impacts and other financial matters, are reviewed and approved; and
 
•  the Company’s operating plans and capital, research and development and engineering budgets are reviewed and approved.
 
Governance Principles.  The Board of Directors has adopted principles for governance of the Board (the “Corporate Governance Principles”) and charters for each of its standing committees. The Corporate Governance Principles provide, among other things, that an Independent Presiding Director shall be appointed on an annual basis (but no Non-Management Director shall serve more than three consecutive annual terms) to preside at meetings of the Board of Directors at which the Chairman is not present, including regularly scheduled private sessions of the Non-Management Directors.
 
The Corporate Governance Principles further provide that Directors must be able to devote the requisite time for preparation and attendance at regularly scheduled Board and Board Committee meetings, as well as be able to participate in other matters necessary for good corporate governance. To help assure that Directors are able to fulfill their commitments to the Company, the Corporate Governance Principles provide that Directors who are chief executive officers of publicly traded companies may serve on not more than two public company boards (including the ITT Board) in addition to service on their own board and other Directors may not serve on more than four public company boards (including the ITT Board). The Corporate Governance Principles and Committee Charters are reviewed by the Board at least annually and posted on the Company’s website at http://www.itt.com/responsibility/governance/corporate-governance/governance-controls/. A copy of the Corporate Governance Principles will be provided, free of charge, to any shareholder upon request to the Secretary of ITT Corporation.
 
Leadership Structure.  The Board has considered the leadership structure of the Company and has determined that the chief executive officer of the Company shall also serve as the Chairman of the Board of Directors. The Board feels that the combination of these two roles provides efficient and effective use of resources and that Mr. Loranger’s position as Chief Executive Officer gives him unique and valuable insight into matters addressed by the Board of Directors. The Board also believes that it is important for long-term and short-term strategies to be controlled by a singular executive. However, the Board of Directors appoints an Independent Presiding Director, whose position is described more fully at Section III.G of the Board’s Corporate Governance Principles, http://www.itt.com/responsibility/governance/principles/. The Independent Presiding Director is available to address issues or concerns raised by other Non-Management Directors, senior executives or major shareholders not readily addressable directly to the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. The Independent Presiding Director advises the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and communicates any issues or concerns to or from the full Board and


30


Table of Contents

the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. The Independent Presiding Director assists the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer in developing appropriate schedules and agendas for Board and Committee meetings, and acts on behalf of the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and the Board as a formal coordinating point for facilitating, canvassing, reconciling and communicating board issues, concerns and recommendations. The Independent Presiding Director chairs regular meetings of the independent directors, including presiding over executive sessions. The Board of Directors has selected Ralph F. Hake as its Independent Presiding Director, to serve a one-year term, expiring in May 2011.
 
Communication with the Board of Directors.  Interested parties may contact the Independent Presiding Director, all outside Directors as a group, the entire Board of Directors, a committee of the Board of Directors or an individual Director by submitting a letter to the desired recipient in a sealed envelope labeled “Independent Presiding Director,” “Outside Directors,” “Board of Directors”, or with the name of the Board committee or a specific director. This sealed envelope should be placed in a larger envelope and mailed to the Secretary, ITT Corporation, 1133 Westchester Avenue, White Plains, NY 10604, USA. The Secretary will forward the sealed envelope to the designated recipient.
 
Policies for Approving Related Person Transactions.  The Company and the Board have adopted formal written policies for evaluation of potential related person transactions, as those terms are defined in the SEC’s rules for executive compensation and related person disclosure, which provide for review and pre-approval of transactions which may or are expected to exceed $120,000 involving Non-Management Directors, Executive Officers, beneficial owners of five percent or more of the Company’s common stock or other securities and any immediate family of such persons. The Company’s policy generally groups transactions with related persons into two categories: (1) transactions requiring the approval of the Nominating and Governance Committee and (2) certain transactions, including ordinary course transactions below established financial thresholds, that are deemed pre-approved by the Nominating and Governance. The Nominating and Governance Committee is deemed to have pre-approved certain transactions identified in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K that are not required to be disclosed even if the amount involved exceeds $120,000. In addition, any transaction with another company at which a related person’s only relationship is as an employee (other than an executive officer), director and/or beneficial owner of less than 10% of that company’s shares is deemed pre-approved; provided, however, that with respect to directors, if a director is a current employee, or an immediate family member is a current executive officer, of a company that has made payments to, or received payments from, the Company for property or services in an amount which, in any of the last three fiscal years, exceeds the greater of $1 million, or 2% of such other company’s consolidated gross revenues, such transaction shall be reviewed by the Nominating and Governance Committee and not considered appropriate for automatic pre-approval. Regardless of whether a transaction is deemed pre-approved, all transactions in any amount are required to be reported to the Nominating and Governance Committee. Subsequent to the adoption of the written procedures above, the Company has followed these procedures regarding all reportable related person transactions. The Company’s Related Person Transaction Policy is posted on the Company’s website at: http://www.itt.com/responsibility/governance/related-party-transactions/.
 
Code of Corporate Conduct.  The Company has also adopted the ITT Code of Corporate Conduct which applies to all employees, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer and, where applicable, to its Non-Management Directors. The Code of Corporate Conduct is also posted on the Company’s website at http://www.itt.com/responsibility/conduct/. The Company discloses any changes or waivers from the Code of Corporate Conduct on its website for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, its Non-Management Directors and other executive officers. In addition, the Company will disclose within four business days any substantive changes in or waivers of the Code of Corporate Conduct granted to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief


31


Table of Contents

Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, or persons performing similar functions, by posting such information on our website as set forth above rather than by filing a Form 8-K. A copy of the Code of Corporate Conduct will be provided, free of charge, to any shareholder upon request to the Secretary of ITT Corporation.
 
Independent Directors.  The Company’s By-laws require that a majority of the Directors must be independent directors. Additionally, the Company’s Non-Management Directors must meet the NYSE independence standards and the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles independence standards. The Company’s Corporate Governance Principles define independence. The Charters of the Audit, Compensation and Personnel, Nominating and Governance, and Strategy and Finance Committees as well as the resolution establishing the Special Litigation Committee also require all members to be independent directors.
 
Based on its review, the Board of Directors affirmatively determined, after considering all relevant facts and circumstances, that no Non-Management Director has a material relationship with the Company and that all Non-Management Directors, including all members of the Audit, Compensation and Personnel, Corporate Responsibility, Nominating and Governance and Strategy and Finance Committees, meet the independence standards of the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles and By-laws as well as the independence definition in the current NYSE corporate governance rules for listed companies.
 
NYSE Independence Requirements:
 
(a) A Director qualifies as “independent” when the board of directors affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with the company, or any subsidiary in a consolidated group (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company). Companies must identify which directors are independent and disclose the basis for that determination.
 
(b)  In addition, a director is not independent if:
 
  (i)  The director is, or has been within the last three years, an employee of the listed company, or an immediate family member is, or has been within the last three years, an executive officer, of the listed company.
 
  (ii)  The director has received, or has an immediate family member who has received, during any twelve-month period within the last three years, more than $120,000 in direct compensation from the listed company, other than director and committee fees and pension or other forms of deferred compensation for prior service (provided such compensation is not contingent in any way on continued service).
 
  (iii)  (A) The director or an immediate family member is a current partner of a firm that is the company’s internal or external auditor; (B) the director is a current employee of such a firm; (C) the director has an immediate family member who is a current employee of such a firm and who participates in the firm’s audit, assurance or tax compliance (but not tax planning) practice; or (D) the director or an immediate family member was within the last three years (but is no longer) a partner or employee of such a firm and personally worked on the listed company’s audit within that time.
 
  (iv)  The director or an immediate family member is, or has been within the last three years, employed as an executive officer of another company where any of the listed company’s present executive officers at the same time serves or served on that company’s compensation committee.
 
  (v)  The director is a current employee, or an immediate family member is a current executive officer, of a company that has made payments to, or received payments from, the listed company for property or services in an amount which, in any of the last three


32


Table of Contents

  fiscal years, exceeds the greater of $1 million, or 2% of such other company’s consolidated gross revenues.
 
In addition to the NYSE standards, and the independence standards in the Company’s By-laws, the Board has adopted the following additional standards for independence described below, which are included in the Board’s Corporate Governance Principles.
 
Under the Corporate Governance Principles, an independent director is someone who is free of any relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment, and within the past 5 years:
 
•  has not been employed by the Company in an executive capacity;
 
•  has not been an advisor or consultant to the Company, and has not been affiliated with a company or a firm that is;
 
•  has not been affiliated with a significant customer or supplier of the Company;
 
•  has not had a personal services contract with the Company;
 
•  has not been affiliated with a tax-exempt entity that receives significant contributions from the Company;
 
•  has not been related to any of the persons described above; and
 
•  has not been part of an interlocking directorate in which an executive officer of the Company is a member of the compensation committee of the company that employs the Director.
 
Each year, the Company’s Directors and executive officers complete annual questionnaires designed to elicit information about potential related person transactions. Additionally, Directors and executive officers must promptly advise the Corporate Secretary if there are any changes to the information previously provided.
 
The Nominating and Governance Committee reviews and considers all relevant facts and circumstances with respect to independence for each Director standing for election prior to recommending selection as part of the slate of Directors presented to the shareholders for election at the Company’s Annual Meeting. The Nominating and Governance Committee reviews its recommendations with the full Board, which separately considers and evaluates the independence of Directors standing for re-election using the additional standards described above.
 
In February 2011, the Board considered regular commercial sales and payments in the ordinary course of business as well as charitable contributions with respect to each of the Non-Management Directors standing for re-election at the Company’s 2011 Annual Meeting. In particular, the Board evaluated the amount of sales to ITT or purchases by ITT with respect to companies where any of the Directors serve or served as an executive officer or director.
 
With respect to General Kern, in 2009 the Nominating and Governance Committee and Board of Directors considered the employment by the Company of General Kern’s brother-in-law noting the employment was in a non-executive capacity. The Board further noted that neither General Kern nor the family member was aware of the relationship of the other to the Company prior to employment. After consideration, the Board determined that the employment matter did not alter General Kern’s status and he continues as an independent director. In no other instances was a Director a current employee, or was an immediate family member of a Director a current executive officer, of a company that has made payments to, or received payments from the Company for property or services in an amount which, in any of the last three fiscal years, exceeded the greater of $1 million, or 2% of each respective company’s consolidated gross revenues. The Board also considered the Company’s charitable contributions to non-profit organizations with respect to each of the Non-Management Directors. No contributions exceeded 1% of the consolidated gross revenues of any non-profit organization.

Table of Contents

 
Mr. Loranger is not independent because of his position as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
 
The following are the independent directors standing for election: Drs. Crawford, Hamre, and Mohapatra; General Kern; Messrs. Hake, MacInnis, and Tambakeras; Mrs. Gold and Ms. Sanford.
 
Board and Committee Roles in Oversight of Risk.  The Board of Directors has primary responsibility for overall risk oversight, including the Company’s risk profile and management controls. The Audit Committee of the Board monitors the Company’s operational and regulatory risk management and risk assessment program, including all risk mitigation processes. The General Internal Auditor, who has responsibility for assessing, monitoring and auditing the Company’s global risk profile, reports directly to the Audit Committee and reports on a functional basis to the Chief Financial Officer. The Strategy and Finance Committee of the Board monitors financial liquidity and financing risk. The Compensation and Personnel Committee reviews and assesses compensation and incentive program risks to ensure that the Company’s compensation programs encourage innovation and balance appropriate business risk and rewards without encouraging risk-taking behaviors which may have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Compensation and Personnel Committee structures compensation so that unnecessary or excessive risk-taking behavior is discouraged and behaviors correlated with long-term value creation are encouraged. The Board, Audit, Compensation and Personnel and Strategy and Finance Committees receive regular reports with respect to the Company’s risk profile and risk management controls.
 
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation.  None of the members of the Compensation and Personnel Committee during fiscal year 2010 or as of the date of this proxy statement has been an officer or employee of the Company and no executive officer of the Company served on the Compensation Committee or board of any company that employed any member of the Company’s Compensation and Personnel Committee or Board of Directors.
 
Director Selection and Composition.  Directors of the Company must be persons of integrity, with significant accomplishments and recognized business stature. The Nominating and Governance Committee desires that the Board of Directors be diverse in terms of its viewpoints, professional experience, education and skills as well as race, gender and national origin. In addition, ITT’s corporate governance principles state that as part of the membership criteria for new Board members, individuals must possess such attributes and experiences as are necessary to provide a broad range of personal characteristics including diversity, management skills, and technological, business and international experience. On an annual basis, as part of its self-evaluation, the Board of Directors assesses whether the mix of directors is appropriate for the Company. In addition, the Nominating and Governance Committee assesses the effectiveness of these criteria by referring to the criteria when it periodically assesses the composition of the Board. The Board of Directors actively seeks to consider diverse candidates for membership on the Board when it has a vacancy to fill and includes diversity as a specific factor when conducting any search. As part of its process in identifying new candidates to join the Board of the Directors, the Nominating and Governance Committee considers whether and to what extent the candidate’s attributes and experiences will individually and collectively complement the existing Board, recognizing that ITT’s businesses and operations are diverse and global in nature. Currently, the Board consists of ten directors. Out of the ten directors, two are female, one is African American and one is from India. The directors come from diverse professional backgrounds, including technology, financial and manufacturing industries as well as governmental and non-governmental agencies.
 
To be considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee as a Director candidate, a nominee must meet the requirements of the Company’s By-laws and Corporate Governance Principles. A nominee should also have experience as a board member, chief executive officer or senior officer of a publicly traded or large privately held company, or have achieved recognized prominence in a relevant field as, for example, a distinguished faculty member of a highly regarded


34


Table of Contents

educational institution or senior governmental official. In addition to these minimum qualifications, the Nominating and Governance Committee evaluates each nominee’s skills to determine if those skills are complementary to the skills demonstrated by current Board members. The Nominating and Governance Committee also evaluates the Board’s needs for operational, technical, management, financial, international or other expertise.
 
Prior to recommending nominees for election as Directors, the Company’s Nominating and Governance Committee engages in a deliberative, evaluative process to ensure each nominee possesses the skills and attributes that individually and collectively will contribute to an effective Board of Directors. Biographical information for each candidate for election as a Director is evaluated and candidates for election participate in interviews with existing Board members and management. Each candidate is subject to thorough background checks. Director nominees must be willing to commit the requisite time for preparation and attendance at regularly scheduled Board and Committee meetings and participation in other matters necessary for good corporate governance.
 
The Nominating and Governance Committee identifies Director candidates through a variety of sources including personal references and business contacts. On occasion, the Nominating and Governance Committee utilizes a search firm to identify and screen Director candidates and pays a fee to that firm for each such candidate elected to the Board of the Company. The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider director nominees recommended by shareholders for election to the Company’s Board who meet the qualification standards described above. (See Section II.E. of the Nominating and Governance Charter at http://www.itt.com/responsibility/governance/nominating/.) The Nominating and Governance Committee also evaluates and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning appointment of Directors to Board Committees, selection of Board Committee Chairs, Committee member qualifications, Committee member appointment and removal, Committee structure and operations and proposal of the Board slate for election at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, consistent with criteria approved by the Board of Directors.
 
Committees of the Board of Directors.  The standing Committees of the Board described below perform essential corporate governance functions. In October of 2007 the Board also formed a Special Litigation Committee to oversee an independent investigation involving the Company’s Night Vision matter.

On May 10, 2010, the Board of Directors approved compensation for Non-Management Directors consistent with allocation recommendations provided by Towers Watson, a compensation consultant the Nominating and Governance Committee had retained in 2008. The components of Non-Management Director compensation are weighted toward restricted stock or restricted stock units and stock option awards to align the interests of Non-Management Directors with shareholders of the Company. As approved in 2008, for payment in 2010, Non-Management Directors received total annual compensation valued at approximately $220,000 when awarded, as follows:
 
•  $90,000 payable at the election of each Non-Management Director in cash or deferred cash. Directors choosing deferred cash payment may irrevocably elect to have the deferred cash deposited into an interest-bearing cash account, at an interest rate determined as of the Company’s next Annual Meeting, or deposited into an account that tracks an index of the Company’s common stock. No deferred compensation selections provide for preferential treatment for Directors;
 
•  Approximately 2/3 of the remainder provided in the form of restricted stock units (such restricted stock units payable in shares following the Non-Management Director’s termination of service on the Board of Directors or on a date selected by the Director); and
 
•  Approximately 1/3 of the remainder provided in the form of non-qualified stock options (vesting over a three-year period in one-third installments on the anniversary of the date of grant).
 
Additionally, the Board of Directors approved (with the Audit Committee Chair abstaining) a supplemental retainer of $10,000 payable in cash to Mr. MacInnis, the 2010 Audit Committee Chair, effective as of the Company’s 2010 Annual Meeting to reflect the significant responsibilities and time commitments associated with leadership of the Audit Committee.
 
The number of restricted stock units granted in May 2010 to all Non-Management Directors under the Non-Management Director compensation program, adopted in 2003, was determined by dividing $90,000 by $52.48, the average of the high and low trading prices per share of ITT common stock on May 11, 2010, the date of the 2010 Annual Meeting. The resulting number of restricted stock units, 1,715, was rounded up to the nearest whole unit. Directors receive dividend equivalents on the restricted stock units but have no other rights as shareholders with respect to the restricted stock units. Non-Management Director non-qualified stock option grants are priced and awarded on the same day as employee stock options are priced and awarded. The grant date fair value of Non-Management Directors’ non-qualified stock options is calculated using a binomial


45


Table of Contents

lattice valuation model. The exercise price of Non-Management Directors’ non-qualified stock options granted reflects the closing price of ITT common stock on March 5, 2010, the grant date.
 
The Board of Directors typically reviews Non-Management Director compensation on a biennial basis. They last reviewed Non-Management Director compensation in 2010. In 2010, the Nominating and Governance Committee retained Pay Governance LLC, a compensation consulting firm to assist with a review of compensation for Non-Management Directors. As part of its review, Pay Governance compared Non-Management Director compensation components and total director compensation paid with director compensation components and total director compensation paid for those companies in the S&P® Industrials Companies with revenue comparable to ITT as referenced in Appendix A. Upon the recommendation of Pay Governance and after review, the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Compensation and Personnel Committee recommended, and the full Board of Directors approved, an increase in overall Non-Management Director cash compensation to raise Director compensation to a level closer to the median of companies in the S&P® Industrials Companies with revenues comparable to ITT. The Board approved Non-Management Director compensation changes to be effective with the Company’s 2011 Annual Meeting to increase the cash component of the Non-Management Director compensation to $100,000, to provide for an equity retainer solely in the form of restricted stock units of $150,000 and to provide the Audit Committee Chair with an additional cash payment in the amount of $15,000.
 
Restricted shares previously awarded under the ITT 1996 Restricted Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “1996 Plan”), which preceded the 2003 Plan, and under which restricted shares are still outstanding, provided that each Director’s restricted shares are held in escrow and may not be transferred in any manner until one of the following events occurs:
 
  •  the fifth anniversary of the grant of the shares unless extended as described below;
 
  •  the Director retires at age 72;
 
  •  there is a Change of Control of the Company;
 
  •  the Director becomes disabled or dies;
 
  •  the Director’s service is terminated in certain specified, limited circumstances; or
 
  •  any other circumstance in which the Compensation and Personnel Committee believes, in its sole discretion, that the purposes for which the grants of restricted stock were made have been fulfilled and, as such, is consistent with the intention of the Plan.
 
Under the 2003 Plan and the 1996 Plan, Non-Management Directors may choose to extend the restriction period for not more than two successive five-year periods, or until six months and one day following the Non-Management Director’s termination from service from the Board under certain permitted circumstances.
 
The 1996 Plan also provided if a Director ceased serving on the Board under any other circumstances, shares with respect to which the 1996 Plan restrictions have not been lifted would be forfeited. Under the 2003 Plan, the period of restriction for restricted stock granted is five years. The Compensation and Personnel Committee may determine that a Director, whose service from the Board is terminated, has fulfilled the purpose for which the grant of restricted stock was made and lift the restriction for all or a portion of restricted stock grants. Time and form of payment for outstanding restricted stock received after 2004, as well as elections to have the cash retainer deferred after 2004, have been modified, with the consent of each Director, to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”). Section 409A is an Internal Revenue Code section that deals specifically with non-qualified deferred compensation plans and provides requirements and rules for timing of deferrals and distributions under those plans.
 
ITT reimburses Directors for expenses they incur to travel to and from Board, Committee and shareholder meetings and for other Company-business related expenses (including travel expenses


46


Table of Contents

of spouses if they are specifically invited to attend an event for appropriate business purposes). Such travel may include use of the Company aircraft, if available and approved in advance by the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Director airfare is reimbursed at no greater than first-class travel rates.
 
Indemnification and Insurance.  As permitted by its By-laws, ITT indemnifies its Directors to the full extent permitted by law and maintains insurance to protect the Directors from liabilities, including certain instances where it could not otherwise indemnify them. All Directors are covered under a non-contributory group accidental death and dismemberment policy that provides each of them with $1,000,000 of coverage. They may elect to purchase additional coverage under that policy. Non-Management Directors also may elect to participate in an optional non-contributory group life insurance plan that provides $100,000 of coverage.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
 
ITT’s Compensation and Personnel Committee (the “Committee”) approves and oversees administration of the Company’s executive compensation program. In this Compensation Discussion and Analysis, we explain the Committee’s executive compensation philosophy and objectives for each of the Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”), describe all elements of the Company’s executive compensation program, and explain why the Committee selected each compensation component.
 
Executive Summary — NEO Compensation
 
1.   NEO Compensation Tied to Internal Business Performance and Long-Term Share Price Performance
 
ITT’s compensation philosophy ties a substantial portion of NEO compensation to internal business performance and share price performance. Compensation design for NEOs is structured to achieve long-term shareholder value creation without undue business risk. If internal business performance or share price performance falls below identified thresholds, at-risk compensation is reduced or not paid at all.
 
2.   Pay for Performance — Compensation At Risk
 
  •  The Company’s share price performance significantly lagged industrial companies in the TSR Performance Index (the S&P Industrials Companies, without consideration of utility and transportation service industries, (described herein as the “TSR Performance Index”)) for the 2008-2010 Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) award performance period (TSR is an element of NEO compensation based on relative share price performances over three years). The payout for TSR awards for this performance period was zero, as the Company’s total shareholder return over the three year measurement period, ending December 31, 2010 was ranked at the 25.89 percentile relative to the TSR Performance Index. This rank was below the threshold required for any payment.
 
  •  In 2010, the Company’s internal business performance was strong, resulting in an Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”) payout above target (where target is 100%). The AIP award is an element of NEO compensation which rewards annual operating performance and earnings per share appreciation. The 2010 AIP emphasized total Company performance and collaboration among businesses.
 
  •  Stock option and restricted stock grants directly tie NEO compensation to absolute share price performance.
 
3.   Changes in the NEO Compensation Program
 
  •  Tax reimbursements for financial counseling have been eliminated for financial counseling and tax preparation associated with the 2011 tax year. No compensating salary increase will be provided.
 
  •  In 2011, the Committee determined to award restricted stock units, rather than restricted stock. This change was made to provide more uniform tax treatment on a global basis.
 
4.   Good Pay Practices
 
The Committee has adopted an executive compensation program which reflects best pay practices in light of the business needs of the Company.

Business Risk and Compensation.  In 2010, as in past years, the Committee evaluated risk factors associated with the Company’s businesses in determining compensation structure and pay practices. The structure of the Board of Director Committees facilitates this evaluation and determination. During 2010, the Chair of the Committee was a member of the Audit Committee and the Audit Committee Chair was a member of the Committee. This membership overlap provides insight into the Company’s business risks and affords the Committee access to the information necessary to consider the impact of business risks on compensation structure and pay practices. Further, overall enterprise risk is considered and discussed at Board meetings, providing additional important information to the Committee. The Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer attend those portions of the Committee meetings at which plan features and design configurations of the Company’s annual and long-term incentive plans are considered and approved.
 
Compensation across the enterprise is structured so that unnecessary or excessive risk-taking behavior is discouraged. Further, total compensation for senior officers is heavily weighted toward long-term compensation consistent with the Company’s compensation philosophy, which is focused on long-term value creation. This long-term weighting discourages behaviors that encourage short-term risks.
 
Named Executive Officer Compensation.  Annual base salary, annual incentives, and long-term incentives provide the foundation for NEO compensation. Additional compensation components, which supplement these foundational components, are also discussed in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis.
 
The following table summarizes representative compensation components or policies and relevant risk mitigation factors:
 
       
Compensation Component or Policy     Risk Mitigation Factor
Salary    
•   Based on market rates.
     
•   Provides stability and minimizes risk-taking incentives.
       
Annual Incentive Plan
   
•   AIP design emphasizes overall performance and collaboration among business Groups. The Company’s Fluid Technology, Motion & Flow Control and Defense & Information Solutions businesses are each a business segment or (“Group”).
       
     
•   AIP components focus on metrics which encourage operating performance and earnings per share appreciation.
       
     
•   AIP design tailored to meet unique business considerations for Corporate headquarters and business Groups.
       
     
•   Individual AIP components and total AIP awards are capped.
       
Long-Term Incentive Awards
    •   The three-year vesting threshold for senior vice presidents and the Chief Executive Officer and seven and ten-year option terms encourage long-term behaviors.
       
   •   Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units
    •   Restricted stock or restricted stock units generally vest after three years.
       
   •   Stock Options
    •   Stock options vest after three years for the Chief Executive Officer and for senior vice presidents and in one-third cumulative annual installments after the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date for other optionees. Options awarded in 2010 and 2011 and options awarded prior to 2005 expire ten years after the grant date. Options awarded between 2005 and 2009 expire seven years after the grant date.
       
   •   Total Shareholder Return Awards
    •   The TSR long-term award is based on three-year share price performance and encourages behaviors focused on long-term goals, while discouraging behaviors focused on short-term risks.

Perquisites
    Limited perquisites are based on competitive market data. The Committee has determined that tax reimbursements related to financial counseling and tax preparation for senior executives associated with the 2011 tax year will be eliminated. No salary increase will be provided to offset the elimination of tax reimbursement.
       
Severance and Pension benefits
    Severance and pension benefits are in line with competitive market data.
       
Recoupment Policy
    Provides mechanism for senior executive compensation recapture in certain situations involving fraud or willful misconduct.
       
Officer Share Ownership Guidelines
    Company officers are required to own Company shares or share equivalents up to 5x base salary, depending on the level of the officer (discussed on page 6). Share ownership guidelines align executive and shareholder interests. Company policy prohibits speculative trading in and out of ITT securities, including prohibitions on short sales and leverage transactions, such as puts, calls, and listed and unlisted options.
       
 
Independent Compensation Consultant:  In 2010, the Committee retained Pay Governance LLC as its independent compensation consultant (“Pay Governance” or the “Compensation Consultant”). Pay Governance LLC provides independent consulting services in support of the Compensation and Personnel Committee’s charter, the material terms of which are described beginning on page 39. The Compensation Consultant also provided independent consulting services in support of the Nominating and Governance Committee charter including providing competitive data on director compensation, the material terms of which are described beginning on page 41.
 
The Compensation Consultant’s engagement leader provided objective expert analyses, assessments, research and recommendations for executive and non-executive employee compensation programs, incentives, perquisites, and compensation standards. In this capacity, the Compensation Consultant provided services that related solely to work performed for and at the direction of the Committee including analysis of material prepared by the Company for the Committee’s review. In 2010, the Company’s human resources, finance and legal departments supported the work of the Committee, provided information, answered questions and responded to requests. Additionally, the Compensation Consultant provided analyses to the Nominating and Governance Committee and the full Board of Directors on Non-Management Director compensation. The Compensation Consultant provided no other services to the Company during 2010.
 
Fees for Compensation Consultant:
 
           
       
           
Services performed that related solely to work performed for, and at the direction of, the Committee or the Nominating and Governance Committee, and analyses of documents prepared by management for the Committee’s review during 2010:       $308,460  
           
Other services performed for the Company during 2010:       $0  
           
 
The Committee annually reviews the Compensation Consultant’s independence and engaged in such a review in 2010. Based on that review, the Committee determined the Compensation Consultant was independent. The Committee has sole authority to retain and terminate the Compensation Consultant with respect to compensation matters and the Nominating and Governance Committee has sole authority to retain and terminate the Compensation Consultant with respect to nominating and governance matters.
 
Our Executive Compensation Program
 
Overall compensation policies and programs.  In 2010, as in past years, the Committee looked to competitive market compensation data for companies comparable to ITT to establish overall polices and programs that address executive compensation, benefits and perquisites. This review included analysis of the Towers Watson Compensation Data Bank (“CDB”) information provided by the Compensation Consultant. The analyses used a sample of 174 companies from the S&P®

52


Table of Contents

Industrials Companies that were available in the CDB. The compensation data from these companies were evaluated by the Compensation Consultant for differences in the scope of operation as measured by annual revenue. Appendix A to this Proxy Statement lists the sample of companies from the S&P® Industrials Companies that were used in the CDB analyses. The Committee believes that these 174 companies most closely reflect the labor market in which ITT competes for talent.
 
The Committee has delegated to the Company’s senior human resources executive responsibility for administering the executive compensation program. During 2010, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, senior human resources executive, as well as other senior executives, made recommendations to the Committee regarding executive compensation actions and incentive awards. The Committee reviewed each compensation element for the Chief Executive Officer and other NEOs, and made the final determination regarding executive compensation for these officers using the processes described in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis. The Committee believes the Company’s compensation programs reflect the Company’s overarching business rationale and are designed to be reasonable, fair, fully disclosed, and consistently aligned with long-term value creation. The Committee further believes this compensation philosophy encourages individual and group behaviors that balance risk and reward and assist the Company in achieving steady, sustained growth and earnings performance.
 
Individual executive positions.  The Company’s senior management positions, including each of its NEO positions, were compared to positions with similar attributes and responsibilities based on the CDB information. This information was used to provide the market median dollar value for annual base salary, annual incentives and long-term incentives. The Committee used the CDB, along with other qualitative information, described on page 54, in making its determination of target and actual compensation provided to each of the Company’s NEOs. The Committee generally targets total compensation and each compensation component at the competitive median of the CDB sample group, but may consider deviations from the competitive median depending on a position’s strategic value, the Company’s objectives and strategies, and individual experience and performance in the position. The Committee may, but is not required to, consider prior year’s compensation, including short-term or long-term incentive payouts, restricted stock vesting or option exercises in compensation decisions for the NEOs.
 
Except as discussed below, NEO 2010 total compensation, which consists of base salary, AIP target opportunities, regular annual stock option and restricted stock (or restricted stock unit grants in 2011) based on grant date fair value and TSR award target opportunities, were generally aligned, individually and in the aggregate, with the competitive median compensation levels reflected in the CDB survey described on pages 52 to 53 of this 2011 Proxy Statement.
 
Most of the deviations from the competitive median compensation levels were within what the Committee considered to be a competitive range of approximately 10% above or below the market median. Deviations beyond this competitive range were primarily related to the relatively short tenure of Ms. Ramos, Ms. McClain, Mr. Melcher and Mr. Jimenez in their current positions and a desire to tie a significant portion of Mr. Loranger’s compensation to the achievement of sustained, long-term company performance.

Our compensation cycle.  Compensation is reviewed in detail every year during the first quarter. This review includes:
  •  Annual performance reviews for the prior year,
  •  Base salary merit increases — normally established in March,
  •  AIP target awards, and
  •  Long-term incentive target awards (including stock options, restricted stock or restricted stock units and TSR awards).
 
The actual award date of stock options, restricted stock or restricted stock units and target TSR awards is determined on the date on which the Committee approves these awards. In recent years, this date has been in March. TSR awards reflect a performance period starting on January 1 of the year in which the Committee approved the TSR award. Restricted stock or restricted stock units, TSR and stock option award recipients receive communication of the award as soon as reasonably practical after the grant date of the award. The Committee reviewed and assessed the performance of the Company’s NEOs during 2010. The Committee will continue to review and assess the performance of the Chief Executive Officer and all senior executives and authorize salary actions it believes are appropriate and commensurate with relevant competitive data and the approved salary program.
 
Qualitative considerations.  The Company considers individual performance, including consideration of the following qualitative performance factors, in addition to the quantitative measures discussed in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis. While there is no formal weighting of qualitative factors, the following factors may be considered important in making compensation decisions:
 
  •  Portfolio Repositioning,
 
  •  Differentiated Organic Growth,
 
  •  Strategic Execution, and
 
  •  Cultural Transformation.

Compensation Program Objectives
 
The following sections, including material supplied in tabular form, provide more information about our compensation program, and its objectives, general principles and specific approaches.
 
             
      How We Achieve Our Objectives
Objective     General Principle     Specific Approach
             
Attract and retain well-rounded, capable leaders.     Design our executive compensation program to attract, reward and retain capable executives. Design total executive compensation to provide a competitive balance of salary, short-term and long-term incentive compensation.     The Company’s overarching philosophy is to target total compensation at the competitive median of the CDB. We consider total compensation (salary plus short-term and long-term compensation) when determining each component of NEO compensation.
             
             
Match compensation components to the Company’s short-term and long-term operating and strategic goals.     In addition to salary, we include short-term and long-term performance incentives in our compensation program.     We believe the mix of short-term and long-term performance-based incentives focuses executive behavior on annual performance and operating goals, as well as strategic business objectives that will promote long-term shareholder value creation.
             
             
Provide a clear link between at-risk compensation with business performance.     We believe the measures of performance in our compensation programs must be aligned with measures key to the success of our businesses. The clear link between compensation and performance is intended to provide incentives for achieving performance and business objectives and increasing the long-term value of the Company’s stock. If our businesses succeed, our shareholders will benefit.     The Company links compensation and performance through its long-term incentive program, comprised of restricted stock or restricted stock unit awards, non-qualified stock options awards and total shareholder return target awards. If performance goals are not met, at-risk compensation is reduced or not paid at all.
             
             
Align at-risk compensation with levels of executive responsibility.     As executives move to greater levels of responsibility, the proportion of compensation at risk, whether through annual incentive plans or long-term incentive programs, increases in relation to the increased level of responsibility.     NEO compensation is structured so that a substantial portion of compensation is at risk for executives with greater levels of responsibility. The Committee considered allocation of short-term and long-term compensation, cash and non-cash compensation and different forms of non-cash compensation for NEOs based on its assessment of the proper compensation balance needed to achieve the Company’s short-term and long-term goals. The Compensation Consultant compiled and analyzed data that the Committee considered in weighting compensation components for each of the NEOs.
             
             
Tie short-term executive compensation to specific business objectives.     The AIP performance metrics are designed to further the Company’s total enterprise objectives. By linking AIP performance to total enterprise performance, collaboration across the enterprise is rewarded.     The AIP sets out short-term performance components. If specific short-term performance goals are met, cash payments that reflect performance across the enterprise may be awarded.
             
             
Tie long-term executive compensation to increasing shareholder return.     The long-term incentive award programs link executive compensation to increases in absolute shareholder return or relative shareholder return against industrial peers.     Long-term executive compensation is comprised of restricted stock or restricted stock units, stock options and target TSR cash awards that are tied to the achievement of three-year relative total shareholder return goals.

Table of Contents

             
      How We Achieve Our Objectives
Objective     General Principle     Specific Approach
Provide reasonable and competitive benefits and perquisites.     Make sure that other employee benefits, including perquisites, are reasonable in the context of a competitive compensation program.     NEOs participate in many of the same benefit plans with the same benefit plan terms as other employees. Certain other benefit plans are available to NEOs and described more fully on pages 82 to 85. The Compensation Consultant provides survey data on perquisites to the Committee. Perquisites provided to NEOs are designed to be consistent with competitive practice and are regularly reviewed by the Committee. Mr. Loranger has a Special Pension Arrangement discussed on page 83 of this Proxy Statement.
             
 
Primary Compensation Components
 
The following sections, including information supplied in tabular form, provide information about Base Salary, the AIP and Long-Term Incentive Target Awards.
 
BASE SALARY
 
       
General Principle     Specific Approach
A competitive salary provides a necessary element of stability.     Salary levels reflect comparable salary levels based on survey data provided by the Compensation Consultant. Salary levels are reviewed annually.
       
       
Base salary should recognize individual performance, market value of a position and the incumbent’s tenure, experience, responsibilities, contribution to the Company and growth in his or her role.     Merit increases are based on overall performance and relative competitive market position.
       
 
ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN (AIP)
 
       
General Principle     Specific Approach
The AIP award recognizes contributions to the year’s results and is determined by performance against specific premier metrics on the enterprise level, as well as qualitative factors, as described in more detail on page 54. The 2010 AIP is structured to reward and emphasize overall enterprise performance and emphasizes collaboration among the Company’s Groups.    
The AIP focuses on operating performance, targeting premier metrics considered predictive of top-ranking operating performance. 2010 AIP targets were established based on these four internal premier performance metrics:

•   earnings per share performance,

•   free cash flow,

•   sum of Group return on invested capital, and

•   the sum of Group revenue.
       
Structure AIP target awards to achieve competitive compensation levels when targeted performance results are achieved. Use objective formulas to establish potential AIP performance awards.     The Company’s AIP provides for an annual cash payment to participating executives established as a target percentage of base salary. AIP target awards are set with reference to the median of competitive practice based on the CDB. Any AIP payment is the product of the annual base salary rate multiplied by the target base salary percentage multiplied by the AIP annual performance factor based on the approved metrics. The Committee may approve negative discretionary adjustments with respect to NEOs.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AWARDS
 
       
General Principle     Specific Approach
Design long-term incentives for NEOs to link payouts to success in the creation of shareholder value over time.    
The Committee believes that long-term incentives directly reward NEOs for success in the creation of long-term value creation and enhanced total shareholder return. The Committee employed four considerations in designing the long-term incentive award program:

•   alignment of executive interests with shareholder interests,

•   a multi-year plan that balances short-term and long-term decision-making,

•   long-term awards included as part of a competitive total compensation package, and

•   retention.
       
For NEOs, long-term equity-based incentives should recognize current performance as well as the expectation of future contributions.     The Committee grants restricted stock or restricted stock units and stock options awards to link executive compensation to absolute share price performance. It grants TSR awards to provide a link to the Company’s total shareholder return relative to the TSR Performance Index.
       
Review award programs annually to provide for regular assessment.     As part of its annual compensation review, the Committee determines long-term incentive award program components, the percentage weight of each component, and long-term award target amounts.
       
Use competitive market survey data provided by the Compensation Consultant from a sample of S&P® Industrial Companies to select long-term components designed to advance the Company’s long-term business goals as well as determining competitive target amounts.     In 2010, the Committee, based on management recommendations, used competitive market data for each of the NEO positions to determine the 2010 long-term award value for each NEO.
       
Balance absolute share price return and relative share price return.     The Committee balanced long-term awards among awards designed to encourage relative share price performance and awards designed to encourage absolute share price performance. More information on this allocation is provided on pages 62 to 67.
       
Consider the median of competitive market data, as well as individual contributions and business performance in determining target awards.     Specific target awards are set out in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table on page 74.

Overview of the AIP And Long-Term Incentive Target Awards
 
Establishing AIP Performance
 
The 2010 AIP format is designed to consider internal business achievements. For 2010, NEOs include officers from the Fluid Technology and the Motion & Flow Control segment, Defense & Information Solutions segment, and Corporate headquarters.
 
Internal Premier Performance Metrics
 
The Committee studied past and projected earnings per share and other performance measures of comparable multi-industry peers. Six multi-industry companies were identified as “premier” based on their rankings in the top quartile of the majority of the quantitative metrics evaluated. These six companies are:
 
     
3M Co.
  General Electric Co.
United Technologies Corp.
  Emerson Electric Co.
Illinois Tool Works, Inc. 
  Danaher Corp.
 
Based on an analysis of these premier companies, the Company identified four internal premier performance metrics as most closely predictive of top-ranking operating performance. The AIP design for the 2010 performance year was modified to emphasize business collaboration across the enterprise.
 
       
Premier Performance Metric     Why this metric
•   Sum of Group revenue
    Revenue reflects the Company’s emphasis on growth. Revenue is defined as reported GAAP revenue excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and contributions from acquisitions and divestitures. The Company’s definition of revenue may not be comparable to similar measures utilized by other companies. Revenue is based on the local currency exchange.
       
•   Free cash flow
    Free cash flow reflects the Company’s emphasis on cash flow generation. Free cash flow is defined as GAAP net cash flow from operating activities, less capital expenditures and adjusted for other non-cash special items and discretionary pension contributions. Free cash flow should not be considered a substitute for cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s definition of free cash flow may not be comparable to similar measures utilized by other companies. Management believes that free cash flow is an important measure of performance and it is utilized as a measure of the Company’s ability to generate cash.
       
•   Sum of Group return on invested capital (“ROIC”)
    The Committee considers ROIC to be an appropriate measurement of capital utilization in the Company’s businesses and a key element of premier performance.
       
•   Earnings per share (“EPS”) performance
    The Committee believes that EPS performance is an appropriate measure of the Company’s total performance and employed the ITT EPS performance metric to encourage focus on the achievement of premier earnings performance for the overall Company. EPS performance is defined as GAAP net income from continuing operations per diluted share, adjusted to exclude items such as unusual and infrequent non-operating items, non-operating tax settlements or adjustments relating to prior periods and impacts from acquisitions and divestitures.

Internal performance metrics are weighted to represent operational goals. In order to encourage focus on total Company performance, earnings per share performance across the enterprise represented 40% of the overall performance metrics for the Company’s 2010 AIP.

2010 Internal Performance Metric Attainment and Payout Design
 
We pay for AIP performance that clearly demonstrates substantial achievement of plan goals. We established strong incentives for revenue performance and set aggressive goals for other metrics. In order to achieve an AIP payout each metric must meet a certain threshold for that component to be considered in the calculation. For example, EPS performance below the 50% payout percentage of target would result in that metric being reflected as zero in the AIP calculation.

2010 AIP Performance Targets and Performance
 
The Committee, after considering management recommendations, established 2010 AIP performance targets for the NEOs based on the applicable internal premier performance metrics and the Company’s approved annual operating plan, taking into consideration the Company’s aspirational business goals. Successful attainment of both qualitative factors and quantitative factors (described on page 54 and pages 59 to 61 of the Proxy Statement) are achievable only if the enterprise and the individual NEO perform at levels established by the Committee. As permitted by the 1997 Annual Incentive Plan for Executive Officers, the Committee may exclude the impact of acquisitions, dispositions and other special items in computing AIP. The 2010 targets for EPS

Specific Internal Metrics for Mr. Loranger
 
All elements of compensation for Mr. Loranger are reviewed by the Committee. Mr. Loranger participates in the AIP described above. In 2010, with respect to Mr. Loranger, the Committee determined and considered the same four quantifiable goals related to free cash flow, sum of Group revenue, sum of Group ROIC and EPS performance, as provided above. Sum of Group ROIC goals were set at challenging levels that were considered difficult to attain.

For NEOs, the 2010 AIP potential payment was calculated as follows:
 
2010 AIP Potential Payout = Target Award Percentage of Base Salary x (Results of Total Enterprise Performance) interpolated up to 200% for performance above goal. (Subject to negative discretion).
 
2010 AIP Awards Paid in 2011
 
On March 3, 2011, the Committee determined the 2010 AIP awards for the Chief Executive Officer and the other NEOs. No negative discretion was exercised by the Committee. As permitted by the 1997 Annual Incentive Plan for Executive Officers, the Committee excluded the impact of acquisitions, dispositions and other special items in computing AIP performance relating to AIP targets, which AIP targets also excluded these items. The Committee met privately, without any members of management present, to determine Mr. Loranger’s 2010 AIP award.

Long-Term Incentive Awards Program
 
The Company’s long-term incentive awards component for senior executives has three subcomponents, each of which directly ties long-term compensation to long-term value creation and shareholder return:
 
  •  restricted stock or restricted stock unit awards. In 2010 the Committee awarded restricted stock awards. In 2011 the Committee determined to award restricted stock units, which will be settled in shares upon vesting. Restricted stock units provide the same economic risk or reward as restricted stock, but recipients do not have voting rights and do not receive cash dividends during the restriction period. Dividend equivalents are accrued and paid in cash upon vesting of the restricted stock units. The Committee determined to award restricted stock units rather than restricted stock in 2011 because restricted stock unit awards provide consistent tax treatment for domestic and international employees,
 
  •  non-qualified stock option awards, and
 
  •  TSR, a target cash award that directly links the Company’s three-year total shareholder return performance to the performance of companies in the TSR Performance Index on a relative basis.

Allocation of Long-Term Incentive Components
 
The 2010 Long-Term Incentive Program Awards were allocated as follows: 1/3 TSR calculated at target payment amount; 1/3 non-qualified stock options calculated at the grant date fair value of the non-qualified options; and 1/3 restricted stock or restricted stock units calculated at grant date fair value.
 
2010 Long-Term Incentive Program
 
(PIE CHART)
 
Restricted Stock Subcomponent
 
Grants of restricted stock provide NEOs with stock ownership of unrestricted shares after the restriction lapses. NEOs received restricted stock awards because, in the judgment of the Committee and based on management recommendations, these individuals are in positions most likely to assist in the achievement of the Company’s long-term value creation goals and to create shareholder value over time. The Committee reviews all proposed grants of shares of restricted stock for executive officers prior to award, including awards based on performance, retention-based awards and awards contemplated for new employees as part of employment offers.
 
Key elements of the 2010 restricted stock program were:
 
  •  Holders of restricted stock have the right to receive dividends and vote the shares during the restriction period,
 
  •  Restricted stock generally is subject to a three-year restriction period,
 
  •  If an acceleration event occurs (as described on pages 90 to 91 of this Proxy Statement) the restricted stock vests in full,
 
  •  If an employee dies or becomes disabled, the restricted stock vests in full,
 
  •  If an employee leaves the Company prior to vesting, whether through resignation or termination for cause, the restricted stock is forfeited, and


62


Table of Contents

 
  •  If an employee retires or is terminated other than for cause, a pro-rata portion of the restricted stock award vests. Mr. Loranger is currently eligible to retire pursuant to a Special Pension Arrangement under the Steven R. Loranger Employment Agreement described on page 75-77 and the 2010 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table on page 86.
 
In certain cases, such as for new hires or to facilitate retention, selected employees may receive restricted stock subject to different vesting terms as determined by the Committee.
 
Non-Qualified Stock Options Subcomponent
 
Non-qualified stock options permit optionees to buy Company stock in the future at a price equal to the stock’s value on the date the option was granted, which is the option exercise price. Non-qualified stock option terms were selected after the Committee’s review and assessment of the CDB and consideration of terms best suited to the Company.
 
For Messrs. Loranger and Melcher, Ms. Ramos and Ms. McClain, non-qualified stock options do not vest until three years after the award date. This delayed vesting is referred to as three-year cliff vesting. This vesting schedule prohibits early option exercises, notwithstanding share price appreciation, and focuses senior executives on the Company’s long-term value creation goals. Stock options awarded to Mr. Jimenez in 2010 vest in one-third annual installments.
 
In 2010, the fair value of stock options granted under the employee stock option program was calculated using a binomial lattice valuation model. The Committee considered this a preferred model since the model can incorporate multiple and variable assumptions over time, including assumptions such as employee exercise patterns, stock price volatility and changes in dividends.
 
Key elements of the 2010 non-qualified stock option program were:
 
  •  The option exercise price of stock options awarded is the NYSE closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date the award is approved by the Committee,
 
  •  For options granted to new executives, the option exercise price of approved stock option awards is the closing price on the grant date, generally the day following the first day of employment,
 
  •  Options cannot be exercised prior to vesting,
 
  •  Three-year cliff vesting is required for executives at the level of senior vice president or above. Stock options vest in one-third cumulative annual installments for executives below the senior vice president level,
 
  •  If an acceleration event occurs (as described on pages 90 to 91 of this Proxy Statement) the stock option award vests in full,
 
  •  Options awarded in 2010 and 2011 and prior to 2005 expire ten years after the grant date. Options awarded between 2005 and 2009 expire seven years after the grant date. In 2010, the seven-year option term was extended to ten years based on a review of competitive market practices,
 
  •  If an employee is terminated for cause, vested and unvested portions of the options expire on the date of termination,
 
  •  The 2003 Plan and the proposed 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan prohibit the repricing of, or exchange of, stock options and stock appreciation rights which are priced below the prevailing market price with lower-priced stock options or stock appreciation rights without shareholders approval, and
 
  •  There may be adjustments to the post-employment exercise period of an option grant if an employee’s tenure with the Company is terminated due to death, disability, retirement or


63


Table of Contents

  termination by the Company other than for cause. Any post-employment exercise period, however, cannot exceed the original expiration date of the option. If employment is terminated due to an acceleration event or because the option holder believes in good faith that he or she would be unable to discharge his or her duties effectively after the acceleration event, the option expires on the earlier of the date seven months after the acceleration event or the normal expiration date.
 
  •  Currently, no individual may receive more than 600,000 options under the 2003 Plan in any one year.
 
Why both restricted stock or restricted stock units and stock options. A balanced award of restricted stock or restricted stock units and non-qualified stock options provides a combination of incentives for absolute share price appreciation. The following table provides an overview of some of the main characteristics of restricted stock or restricted stock units and non-qualified stock options.
 
       
Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units     Non-qualified Stock Options
A restricted stock award is a grant of Company stock, subject to certain vesting restrictions. A restricted stock unit award is a promise to deliver to the recipient, upon vesting, shares of Company stock. Both restricted stock and restricted stock units carry the same economic risk and reward.     Non-qualified stock options provide the opportunity to purchase Company stock at a specified price called the “exercise price” at a future date.
       
Holders of restricted stock, as shareholders of the Company, are entitled to vote the shares and receive dividends or dividend equivalents prior to vesting. Holders of restricted stock units are not entitled to vote the shares and do not receive cash dividends during the restriction period. Dividend equivalents are paid in cash upon restricted stock unit vesting beginning with the 2011 awards.     Stock option holders do not receive dividends on shares underlying options and cannot vote their shares.
       
Restricted stock and restricted stock units have intrinsic value on the day the award is received and retain some realizable value even if the share price declines during the restriction period. Since restricted stock and restricted stock units do not expire, each provides strong employee retention value even after vesting.     Non-qualified stock options increase focus on activities primarily related to absolute share price appreciation. The Company’s non-qualified stock options expire ten or seven years after their grant date depending on the year of award. If the value of the Company’s stock increases and the optionee exercises his or her option to buy at the exercise price, the optionee receives a gain in value equal to the difference between the option exercise price and the price of the stock on the exercise date. If the value of the Company’s stock fails to increase or declines, the stock option has no realizable value. Stock options provide less retention value than restricted stock since stock options have realizable value only if the share price appreciates over the option exercise price before the options expire.
       
 
The Committee has selected vesting terms for restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock options based on the Compensation Consultant’s review and assessment of the CDB, as well as the Committee’s view of the vesting terms appropriate for the Company. The Committee considers the Compensation Consultant’s review and assessment of CDB, as well as individual performance, in determining the quantity of restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock option awards.

Table of Contents

Total Shareholder Return (TSR) Awards Subcomponent
 
The following table describes some of the main features of TSR awards and describes how the Committee considers those features as it determines target TSR awards.
 
       
Feature     Implementation
TSR rewards comparative stock price appreciation relative to that of the TSR Performance Index     The Committee, at its discretion, determines the size and frequency of target TSR awards, performance measures and performance goals, in addition to performance periods. In determining the size of target TSR awards for executives, the Committee considers comparative data provided by the Compensation Consultant and the Company’s internal desired growth in share price. The Company’s target TSR awards provided to NEOs are generally based on a participant’s position, competitive market data, individual performance and anticipated potential contributions to the Company’s long-term goals.
       
Three-year performance period     A three-year TSR performance period encourages behaviors and performance geared to the Company’s long-term goals and, in the view of the Committee, discourages behaviors that might distract from the three-year period focus. The three-year performance period is consistent with Company’s business cycle because it allows sufficient time for focus on long-term goals and mutes market swings not based on performance. The three-year performance period is also somewhat independent of short-term market cycles.
       
Performance measurement and award frequency     The Company’s performance for purposes of the TSR awards is measured by comparing the average stock price over the trading days in the month of December immediately prior to the start of the TSR three-year performance period to the average stock price over the trading days in the last month of the three-year cycle as well as dividend yields and other forms of shareholder return.
       
TSR awards are expressed as target cash awards and paid in cash.     Cash awards compensate relative performance while reducing share dilution.
       
Components of TSR     The Committee considered the components of a measurable return of value to shareholders, reviewed peer practices and received input from the Compensation Consultant. Based on that review the Committee determined that the most significant factors to measure return of value to shareholders were:
     
•   dividend yields,
     
•   cumulative relative change in stock price, and
     
•   extraordinary shareholder payouts.
       
TSR calculation     TSR = the sum of 1) dividends paid and reinvested and any other extraordinary shareholder payouts during the three-year performance period and 2) the cumulative change in stock price from the beginning to the end of the performance period as a percentage of beginning stock price.

Table of Contents

Amount of target TSR awards. The Committee considers individual performance and competitive market data in determining target TSR awards.
 
Key elements of the long-term incentive plan under which TSR awards are granted include:
 
•  If a participant’s employment terminates before the end of the three-year performance period, the award is forfeited except in two cases: 1) if a participant dies or becomes disabled, the TSR award vests in full and payment, if any, is made according to its original terms. Vesting in full in the case of death or disability reflects the inability of the participant to control the triggering event and is consistent with benefit plan provisions related to death and disability; and 2) if a participant retires or is terminated by the Company other than for cause, a pro-rata payout, if any, is provided based on the number of full months of employment during the measurement period divided by thirty-six months (the term of the three-year TSR). This pro-rated payout, if any, is provided because it reflects the participant’s service during the pro-rated period.
 
•  The Company’s performance for purposes of the TSR awards is measured by comparing the average stock price performance over the trading days in the month of December immediately prior to the start of the TSR three-year performance period to the average stock price performance, over the trading days in the last month of the three-year cycle, including adjustments for dividends and extraordinary payments. (For example, trading days in the month of December 2010 are used as a base for 2011 TSR awards, which will be measured from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2013).
 
•  Payment, if any, of cash awards generally will be made following the end of the applicable three-year performance period and will be based on the Company’s performance measured against the total shareholder return performance of the TSR Performance Index.
 
•  Subject to the provisions of Section 409A, in the event of an acceleration event in a change of control (described on pages 90 to 91 of this Proxy Statement), a pro-rata portion of outstanding awards will be paid through the date of the change of control based on actual performance and the balance of the award will be paid at target (100%). There may be up to three outstanding TSR awards at any time.
 
•  Performance goals for the applicable TSR performance period are established in writing no later than ninety days after the beginning of the applicable performance period.
 
Performance Goals and Payments for the TSR.  Individual targets for the NEOs for the 2010-2012 performance period are provided in the Grants of Plan Based Awards table on page 74 of this Proxy Statement. Payouts, if any, are based on a non-discretionary formula and interpolated for values between the 35th and 80th percentile of performance. The Committee felt these breakpoints were properly motivational and rewarded the desired behavior.

Recoupment Policy. In 2008, the Company, upon the recommendation of the Committee, adopted a policy that provides for recoupment of performance-based compensation if the Board of Directors determines that a senior executive has engaged in fraud or willful misconduct that caused or otherwise contributed to the need for a material restatement of the Company’s financial results. In such a situation, the Board will review all compensation awarded to or earned by that senior executive on the basis of the Company’s financial performance during fiscal periods materially affected by the restatement. This would include annual cash incentive and bonus awards and all forms of equity-based compensation. If, in the Board’s view, the compensation related to the Company’s financial performance would have been lower if it had been based on the restated results, the Board will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, seek recoupment from that senior executive of any portion of such compensation as it deems appropriate after a review of all relevant facts and circumstances. The NEOs are covered by this policy.
 
Consideration of Material Non-Public Information. The Company typically closes the window for insiders to trade in the Company’s stock in advance of, and for a period of time immediately following, earnings releases and Board and Committee meetings because the Company and insiders may be in possession of material non-public information. The first quarter Committee meeting at which compensation decisions and awards are typically made for employees usually occurs during a Board meeting period, so stock option awards may occur at a time when the Company is in possession of material non-public information. The Committee does not consider the possible possession of material non-public information when it determines the number of non-qualified stock options granted, price of options granted or timing of non-qualified stock options granted. Rather, it uses competitive data, individual performance and retention considerations when it grants


67


Table of Contents

non-qualified stock options, restricted stock or restricted stock units and TSR awards under the long-term incentive program.
 
Non-qualified stock option awards and restricted stock awards or restricted stock unit awards granted to NEOs, senior and other executives, and Directors are awarded and priced on the same date as the approval date. The Company may also award non-qualified stock options in the case of the promotion of an existing employee or hiring of a new employee. Again, these non-qualified stock option grants may be made at a time the Company is in possession of material non-public information related to the promotion or the hiring of a new employee or other matters. The Company does not time its release of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation and executive compensation decisions are not timed to the release of material non-public information.
 
ITT SALARIED INVESTMENT AND SAVINGS PLAN
 
Most of the Company’s salaried employees who work in the United States participate in the ITT Salaried Investment and Savings Plan, a tax-qualified savings plan, which allows employees to contribute to the plan on a before-tax basis and/or on an after-tax basis. The Company makes a floor contribution of 1/2 of 1% of base salary to the plan for all eligible employees and matches employee contributions up to 6% of base salary at the rate of 50%. Participants can elect to have their contributions and those of the Company invested in a broad range of investment funds including ITT stock. Federal law limits the amount of compensation that can be used to determine employee and employer contribution amounts ($245,000 in 2010) to the tax-qualified plan. Accordingly, the Company has established and maintains a non-qualified, unfunded ITT Excess Savings Plan that is discussed in more detail in the narrative to the 2010 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table on page 86.
 
POST-EMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION
 
Salaried Retirement Plan. Most of the Company’s salaried employees who work in the United States participate in the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan. Under the plan, participants have the option, on an annual basis, to elect to be covered by either a Traditional Pension Plan or a Pension Equity Plan formula for future pension accruals. The ITT Salaried Retirement Plan is a tax-qualified plan, which provides a base of financial security for employees after they cease working. The plan is described in more detail in the narrative related to Pension Benefits on pages 81 to 82 and in the 2010 Pension Benefits table on page 83.
 
Excess Pension Plans. Because federal law limits the amount of benefits that can be paid and the amount of compensation that can be recognized under tax-qualified retirement plans, the Company has established and maintains non-qualified, unfunded excess pension plans solely to pay retirement benefits that could not be paid from the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan. Benefits under the excess pension plans are generally paid directly by the Company. Participating officers with excess plan benefits had the opportunity to make a one-time election prior to December 31, 2008 to receive their excess benefit earned under the Traditional Pension Plan formula (described on page 82) in a single discounted sum payment or as an annuity. An election of a single-sum payment is only effective if the officer meets the requirements for early or normal retirement benefits under the plan; otherwise, the excess benefit earned under the Traditional Pension Plan formula will be paid as an annuity. Since the excess pension plans are an unfunded obligation of the Company, in the event of a change of control, any excess plan benefit would be immediately payable, subject to any applicable Section 409A restrictions with respect to form and timing of payments, and would be paid in a single discounted sum. The single-sum payment provision provides executives the earliest possible access to the funds in the event of a change of control, and avoids leaving unfunded pension payments in the hands of the acquirer.

Deferred Compensation Plan. Our NEOs are also eligible to participate in the ITT Deferred Compensation Plan, which is described in more detail on pages 84 to 85. This plan provides executives an opportunity to defer receipt of between 2% and 90% of any AIP payments they earn. The amount of deferred compensation ultimately received reflects the performance of benchmark investment funds made available under the Deferred Compensation Plan as selected by the executive. Participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan may elect a fund that tracks the performance of ITT common stock.
 
Mr. Loranger’s Non-Qualified Pension Arrangement. Mr. Loranger’s employment agreement, (the “Steven R. Loranger Employment Agreement”), as described on pages 75 to 77, provides for a non-qualified pension arrangement. Because Mr. Loranger forfeited certain employment benefits, including pension arrangements, when he left his prior employer, the Steven R. Loranger Employment Agreement provides him with a pension arrangement similar to the arrangement he forfeited.
 
Pensions and other post-retirement compensation for the NEOs are discussed in more detail in the 2010 Pension Benefits narrative, table and footnotes on pages 81 to 84, the Potential Post-Employment Compensation Tables and footnotes on pages 92 to 101 and in descriptions of the compensation arrangements for Mr. Loranger and Ms. Ramos on pages 75 to 78. The Steven R. Loranger Employment Agreement was negotiated when Mr. Loranger joined the Company.
 
SEVERANCE PLAN ARRANGEMENTS
 
The Company maintains two severance plans for its senior executives — the Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan and the Special Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan. The Company’s Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan and Special Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan were originally established in 1984 and are regularly reviewed by the Committee. These plans are described in more detail on pages 88 to 90. The severance plans apply to the Company’s key employees as defined by Section 409A. The Company’s severance plan arrangements are not considered in determining other elements of compensation.
 
Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan. The purpose of this plan is to provide a period of transition for senior executives. Senior executives, other than Mr. Loranger, who are U.S. citizens or who are employed in the United States are covered by this plan. The plan generally provides for severance payments if the Company terminates a senior executive’s employment without cause.
 
The exceptions to severance payment are:
 
  •  the executive terminates his or her own employment,
 
  •  the executive’s employment is terminated for cause,
 
  •  termination occurs after the executive’s normal retirement date under the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan, or
 
  •  termination occurs in certain divestiture instances if the executive accepts employment or refuses comparable employment.
 
No severance is provided for termination for cause, because the Company believes employees terminated for cause should not receive additional compensation. No severance is provided in the case of termination after a normal retirement date because the executive will be eligible for retirement payments under the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan. No severance is provided where an executive accepts or refuses comparable employment because the executive has the opportunity to receive employment income from another party under comparable circumstances.
 
Ms. Ramos, Ms. McClain and Messrs. Melcher and Jimenez participate in this plan. Mr. Loranger does not participate in this plan because his severance arrangements, including severance pay and benefits upon termination from the Company, are provided separately under the Steven R. Loranger Employment Agreement described on pages 75 to 77.

Special Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan. The purpose of this plan is to provide compensation in the case of termination of employment in connection with an acceleration event (defined on pages 90 to 91 of this Proxy Statement) including a change of control. The provisions of this plan are specifically designed to address the inability of senior executives to influence the Company’s future performance after certain change of control events. The plan is structured to encourage executives to act in the best interests of shareholders by providing for certain compensation and retention benefits and payments, including change of control provisions, in the case of an acceleration event.
 
The purposes of these provisions are to:
 
  •  provide for continuing cohesive operations as executives evaluate a transaction, which, without change of control protection, could be personally adverse to the executive,
 
  •  keep executives focused on preserving value for shareholders,
 
  •  retain key talent in the face of potential transactions, and
 
  •  aid in attracting talented employees in the competitive marketplace.
 
As discussed above, this plan provides severance benefits for covered executives, including any NEO whose employment is terminated by the Company other than for cause, or where the covered executive terminates his or her employment for good reason within two years after the occurrence of an acceleration event as described below (including a termination due to death or disability) or if during the two-year period following an acceleration event, the covered executive had grounds to resign with good reason or the covered executive’s employment is terminated in contemplation of an acceleration event that ultimately occurs.
 
The plan is designed to put the executive in the same position, from a compensation and benefits standpoint, as he or she would have been in without the acceleration event. With respect to incentive plan awards, since the executive will no longer have the ability to influence the corporate objectives upon which the awards are based, the plan provides that any AIP awards are paid out at target 100%. In the event of a change of control, a pro-rata portion of outstanding TSR awards will be paid through the date of the change of control based on actual performance and the balance of the award will be paid at target (100%). More information about the Special Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan is provided on pages 89 to 90 of this Proxy Statement.
 
Ms. Ramos and Ms. McClain and Messrs. Melcher and Jimenez participate in the Special Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan. Mr. Loranger does not participate in the plan because his severance arrangements, which include severance pay and benefits upon termination from the Company in connection with an acceleration event, are set forth in the Steven R. Loranger Employment Agreement, described on pages 75 to 77.
 
Change of Control Arrangements. As described more fully on pages 90 to 91, many of our short-term and long-term incentive plans, severance arrangements and nonqualified deferred compensation plans provide additional or accelerated benefits upon a change of control. Generally, these change of control provisions are intended to put the executive in the same position he or she would have been in had the change of control not occurred. Executives then can focus on preserving value for shareholders when evaluating situations that, without change of control provisions, could be personally adverse to the executive.
 
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS AND PERQUISITES
 
Executives, including the NEOs, are eligible to participate in ITT’s broad-based employee benefits program. The program includes a pension program, an investment and savings plan which includes before-tax and after-tax savings features, group medical and dental coverage, group life insurance, group accidental death and dismemberment insurance and other benefit plans. These other benefit

Table of Contents

plans include short- and long-term disability insurance, long-term care insurance and a flexible spending account plan.
 
Certain perquisites to the NEOs. The Company provides only those perquisites that it considers to be reasonable and consistent with competitive practice. Beginning with tax year 2011, the Committee eliminated any tax gross-up provisions for the NEOs associated with financial counseling and tax preparation for senior executives. No offsetting salary increase will be provided. Perquisites (which are described more fully on page 73 in the All Other Compensation Table and related narrative) available for NEOs include a car allowance up to $1,300 per month and financial and estate planning. Mr. Loranger’s perquisites are separately discussed on pages 76 to 77.
 
CONSIDERATION OF TAX AND ACCOUNTING IMPACTS
 
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code places a limit of $1,000,000 on the amount of compensation that the Company may deduct in any one year with respect to its Chief Executive Officer and the three other highest-paid NEOs, other than the Chief Financial Officer. There is an exception to the $1,000,000 limitation for performance-based compensation meeting certain requirements. Compensation attributable to awards under the Company’s AIP and long-term incentive program are generally structured to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m).
 
However, the Committee realizes that evaluation of the overall performance of the senior executives cannot be reduced in all cases to a fixed formula. There may be situations in which the prudent use of discretion in determining pay levels is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and, therefore, desirable. In those situations where discretion is used, awards may be structured in ways that will not permit them to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m). The compensation of Mr. Loranger may not be fully deductible under these criteria. However, the Committee does not believe that such loss of deductibility would have any material impact on the financial condition of the Company.
 
The Company has also agreed to provide a tax reimbursement should an NEO’s post-termination compensation be determined to constitute an excess parachute payment. The Company’s plans are intended to comply with Section 409A, to the extent applicable, and the Company made amendments to the plans during 2008 in this regard. While the Company complies with other applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to compensation, the Company and the Committee do not consider other tax implications in designing its compensation programs.

(d) Ms. Ramos joined the Company on July 1, 2007. Ms. Ramos received a sign-on payment in 2008 following one year of service. For the 2009 performance year, the Committee awarded Ms. McClain a discretionary bonus of $61,000, which payment was outside the AIP plan. This award was in recognition of Ms. McClain’s exceptional business leadership of the Fluid Technology and Motion and Flow Control business segments during difficult economic conditions.
 
(e) Amounts in the Stock Awards column include the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 for TSR units and restricted stock. The TSR is considered a liability plan under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718. A discussion of restricted stock units, restricted stock, the TSR and assumptions used in calculating these values may be found in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The values of TSR units at target for the 2010-2012 performance period for Mr. Loranger, Ms. Ramos, Ms. McClain, Mr. Melcher, and Mr. Jimenez were $1,980,000, $400,000, $360,000, $360,000 and $166,700, respectively. Assuming the maximum value at the highest level of achievement, Mr. Loranger, Ms. Ramos, Ms. McClain, Mr. Melcher, and Mr. Jimenez would receive TSR unit payouts of $3,960,000, $800,000, $720,000, $720,000 and $333,400, respectively, following the end of the performance period.
 
(f) Amounts in the Option Awards column include the aggregate grant date fair value of: non-qualified stock option awards in the year of grant based on a binomial lattice value of $15.48 for Mr. Loranger, Ms. Ramos, Ms. McClain, and Mr. Melcher and $14.03 for Mr. Jimenez for the 2010 grant year; $10.53 for Mr. Loranger, Ms. Ramos, Ms. McClain, and $9.06 for Mr. Melcher for the 2009 grant year; and $14.99 for Mr. Loranger, Ms. Ramos and Ms. McClain for the 2008 grant year. A discussion of assumptions relating to option awards may be found in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K.
 
(g) Amounts in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column represent AIP awards for performance year 2010, determined by the Committee on March 3, 2011, which to the extent not deferred by an executive, were paid out shortly after that date.
 
(h) No NEO received preferential or above-market earnings on deferred compensation. The change in the present value in accrued pension benefits was determined by measuring the present value of the accrued benefit at the respective dates using a discount rate of 6.25% at

December 31, 2008, 6.00% at December 31, 2009, and 5.75% at December 31, 2010 (corresponding to the discount rates used for the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan, which is a component of the Company’s consolidated pension plans, as described in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K and based on the assumption that retirement occurs at the earliest date the individual could retire with an unreduced retirement benefit.) The amount for Mr. Loranger includes an increase in value of $593,304 and $1,971,058 representing an increase in the value of his accrued benefit under the ITT Excess Pension Plan and the Special Pension Arrangement, respectively, described on pages 82 to 83.

(b) Amounts reflect the aggregate incremental cost to ITT for personal use of the corporate aircraft for Mr. Loranger and Ms. McClain. Mr. Loranger’s employment agreement with the Company permits occasional personal use of the Company aircraft. Ms. McClain’s personal use of the corporate aircraft related to a trip where Ms. McClain was a passenger on a trip previously scheduled by Mr. Loranger. The aggregate incremental cost to the Company is determined on a per flight basis and includes the cost of fuel, a pro-rata share of repairs and maintenance, landing and storage fees, crew-related expenses and other miscellaneous variable costs. A different value attributable to personal use of the corporate aircraft (as calculated in accordance with Internal Revenue Service guidelines) is included as compensation on the W-2s for Mr. Loranger and Ms. McClain in the amounts of $30,542 and $1,771 respectively.
 
(c) Amounts represent financial counseling and tax service fees paid during 2010. Financial counseling and tax service fees reflect fees for invoices submitted during the calendar year.
 
(d) Auto allowances are provided to a range of executives, including the NEOs.
 
(g) Company contributions to the ITT Excess Savings Plan are unfunded and earnings accrue at the same rate as the Stable Value Fund available to participants in the Company’s ITT Salaried Investment and Savings Plan.
 
(h) Amounts for Mr. Loranger, Ms. Ramos, Ms. McClain, Mr. Melcher and Mr. Jimenez are tax reimbursement allowances intended to offset the inclusion of taxable income of financial counseling and tax preparation services. Tax reimbursement for financial counseling has been eliminated for the 2011 tax year. No compensating salary increase will be provided. Mr. Jimenez’s amount also includes a tax-related relocation reimbursement of $130.
 
(i) Amounts represent the aggregate of the Company’s floor and matching contributions to the participant’s ITT Salaried Investment and Savings Plan account.
 
(j) Amounts include taxable group term-life insurance premiums attributable to each NEO.

Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table
 
The following table provides information about 2010 equity and non-equity awards for the NEOs. The table includes the grant date for equity-based awards, the estimated future payouts under non-equity incentive plan awards (which consist of potential payouts under the 2010 AIP) and estimated future payouts under 2010 equity incentive plan awards (including the TSR target award granted in 2010 for the 2010-2012 performance period (each unit equals $1)). Also provided is the number of shares underlying all other stock awards, comprised of restricted stock and non-qualified stock option awards. The table also provides the exercise price of the non-qualified stock option awards, reflecting the closing price of ITT stock on the grant date and the grant date fair value of each equity award computed under FASB ASC Topic 718. The compensation plans, under which the grants in the following table were made are described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, beginning on page 58 of this Proxy Statement, and include the AIP, TSR, restricted stock awards, and non-qualified stock options awards.

(c)(d)(e) Amounts reflect the threshold, target and maximum payment levels, respectively, if an award payout is achieved under the Company’s AIP described on pages 58 to 61. These potential payments are based on achievement of specific performance metrics and are completely at risk. The target award is computed based upon the applicable range of net estimated payments denominated in dollars where the target award is equal to 100% of the award potential, the threshold is equal to 50% of target and the maximum is equal to 200% of target.

(f)(g)(h) Amounts reflect the threshold, target and maximum payment levels, if an award payout is achieved, under the Company’s TSR Plan for the 2010-2012 performance period described on pages 65 to 67. Each unit under the TSR Plan equals $1. Payments, if any, under the TSR Plan are paid in cash at the end of the performance period. The performance period for awards under the Company’s TSR Plan, reflected in the Estimated Future Payouts Under Equity Incentive Plan Awards column, for the 2010-2012 performance period is January 1, 2010-December 31, 2012.
 
(i) Amounts reflect the number of shares of restricted stock granted in 2010 to the NEOs. The number of shares underlying restricted stock awards are determined by the average of the high and low stock price on the program valuation date, February 8, 2010. Restricted stock grants to NEOs generally vest in full at the end of the three-year restriction period following the grant date. During the restriction period, the holder receives dividends and may vote the shares.
 
(j) Amounts reflect the number of non-qualified stock options granted in 2010 to the NEOs. Such non-qualified stock options generally become exercisable at the end of the three-year period following the grant date and expire ten years after the grant date. For Mr. Jimenez, one-third of non-qualified stock options granted in 2010 vest in 2011, one-third vest in 2012 and one-third vest in 2013.
 
(k) The option exercise price for non-qualified stock options granted in 2010 was the closing price of ITT common stock on March 5, 2010, the date the non-qualified stock options were granted.
 
(l) Amounts in this column represent the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 for restricted stock awards and non-qualified stock option awards granted to the NEOs in 2010.
 
Specific Compensation Arrangements
 
Mr. Loranger
 
Term:  The original term of the Steven R. Loranger Employment Agreement was from June 28, 2004 to June 27, 2007, subject to automatic 12-month extensions unless the Company or Mr. Loranger provides at least 180 days’ prior written notice of non-extension. Mr. Loranger’s employment agreement has been extended to June 27, 2011 as no notice of non-extension was provided in 2010.
 
Annual Base Salary:  Mr. Loranger receives a base salary under his employment agreement, subject to increase by the Board of Directors. On March 8, 2010, Mr. Loranger’s base salary was $1,160,000. Effective March 7, 2011 Mr. Loranger’s base salary was $1,200,000.
 
Mr. Loranger participates in our AIP and Long-Term Incentive Award programs discussed on pages 58 through 67 and in the Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2010 Table on pages 72 and 74, respectively.
 
Restricted Stock Units (“RSU”):  Mr. Loranger received 250,000 restricted stock units granted on June 28, 2004, in connection with the Steven R. Loranger Employment Agreement. The units vested in one-third installments on June 28, 2007, June 28, 2008 and June 28, 2010. One-half of the vesting RSUs settle upon the vesting date and the remaining one-half of the vesting RSUs settle within ten days of Mr. Loranger’s termination of employment. During the restriction period, Mr. Loranger could not vote the shares but was credited for RSU dividends that vested and settled following the terms of the original award.
 
Mr. Loranger’s Special Pension Arrangement:  Mr. Loranger has a Special Pension Arrangement, which is described on page 83 of this Proxy Statement.

Table of Contents

 
Severance Arrangements:  Under Mr. Loranger’s employment agreement, if Mr. Loranger’s employment is terminated prior to June 28, 2011 by the Company without “cause” or by Mr. Loranger for “good reason” (as each such term is defined in the employment agreement), in either case upon or following a “Change of Control” (as defined in the employment agreement), Mr. Loranger would be entitled to receive a lump-sum payment of the actuarial present value of his non-qualified pension as a Special Pension Arrangement. These pension benefits are offset by any benefits to which he is entitled (or which he already has received) under other defined benefit pension arrangements maintained by the Company or any prior employer. Mr. Loranger is also entitled to retiree medical coverage as such coverage is in effect for persons joining the Company on June 28, 2004 (the effective date of Mr. Loranger’s employment), provided that if his employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by him for good reason on or after June 28, 2005, that termination will be considered a “retirement” under the Company’s retiree medical plan and will entitle Mr. Loranger to receive benefits under that arrangement.
 
If Mr. Loranger resigns or is terminated for cause he would receive no TSR payment. In the event of termination without cause he would receive payment, if any, on a pro-rata portion of the outstanding TSR as of the termination date, based on the Company’s performance. If Mr. Loranger’s employment terminates due to disability, death or retirement, he (or his estate) will be entitled to receive a pro-rata payment of the target AIP award for the year of termination and payment of the pro-rata target award for each outstanding TSR award. If Mr. Loranger’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by Mr. Loranger for good reason (other than during the two-year period following a Change of Control), he will be entitled to receive a pro-rata target AIP for the year of termination, plus continued payment of his base salary and target bonus for a period of two years from the date of termination. If, within the two-year period following a Change of Control, the Company terminates Mr. Loranger’s employment without cause or Mr. Loranger terminates his employment for good reason, the Company will pay Mr. Loranger a lump-sum payment consisting of (i) a pro-rata target bonus for the year of termination, and (ii) a severance payment equal to three times the sum of his base salary and the highest bonus paid to him in the three years prior to the Change of Control. Mr. Loranger would also receive continued health and welfare benefits for up to two years following a termination without cause or for good reason (whether before or after a Change of Control). If Mr. Loranger’s employment is terminated at the end of the initial term or any successive twelve-month renewal period due to the Company giving a non-extension notice, such termination will be treated as a termination without cause, except that his base salary and target bonus will only be continued for one year. If any payments to Mr. Loranger are determined to be excess parachute payments under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, he will receive a gross-up payment with respect to the excise taxes incurred by him. All severance payments are conditioned upon Mr. Loranger’s execution of a general release.
 
Restrictive Covenants:  In his employment agreement, Mr. Loranger agreed that during the employment term and for two years after termination, he would not compete with the Company. He also agreed that he would not solicit or hire any of the Company’s employees or anyone who was an employee in the previous six months before his departure without the Company’s consent, or solicit any of the Company’s customers or business. Mr. Loranger also agreed not to make any false or disparaging statements at any time about the Company. The Company has agreed that after Mr. Loranger’s termination we will instruct our directors and officers not to make any false or disparaging remarks about Mr. Loranger. In addition, Mr. Loranger agreed to follow our Code of Conduct, and he agreed not to reveal any confidential Company information or personal information about our officers, directors or employees except as necessary during employment. Mr. Loranger has assigned all rights to any Company discoveries, inventions or ideas to the Company. If Mr. Loranger violates any of these covenants, the Company may stop paying any post-termination benefits.
 
Perquisites and Other Compensation:  Mr. Loranger is eligible to participate in the Company’s benefit plans on the same basis as other senior executives, may use corporate aircraft for business

travel, and occasional personal use (when not otherwise scheduled for business use) and may bring his spouse on such travel. Mr. Loranger receives a monthly car allowance of $1,300.
 
Mr. Loranger receives employee benefits, fringe benefits and employment and post-employment privileges on terms no less favorable to Mr. Loranger than to our other senior executives or those provided to our former Chief Executive Officer. As with other senior executives, however, the Committee uses the same CDB, regressed for size and adjusted for scope of operations, to evaluate Mr. Loranger’s compensation and market trends.
 
Financial Planning:  Mr. Loranger receives reimbursement for reasonable costs associated with tax planning and financial counseling. Such costs are not subject to tax reimbursement starting with financial counseling and tax planning associated with the 2011 tax year. The Company also agreed to reimburse Mr. Loranger for any legal and accounting expenses paid in connection with the filing of any tax return or dispute with the Internal Revenue Service regarding the golden parachute excise tax that may occur on a change of control. Further, if a disagreement arises out of the employment agreement and Mr. Loranger prevails on any material issue, the Company will pay for all fees and any expenses relating to the arbitration or litigation, including his reasonable attorney fees and expenses. Mr. Loranger’s perquisites and other compensation are discussed in more detail in the All Other Compensation Table on page 73.
 
Ms. Ramos
 
On July 1, 2007, Ms. Ramos accepted an offer of employment with the Company as its Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, effective July 1, 2007.

Special Grant of Restricted Stock:  Ms. Ramos received a special grant of Restricted Stock at a target award value of $200,000 under the 2003 Plan. These shares were subject to a three-year period of restriction, subject to continued employment and the terms of the Plan. The special grant of restricted stock vested in full on July 2, 2010.
 
Long-Term Incentive Award Program:  Ms. Ramos participated in the 2010 Long-Term Incentive Award Program. Her 2010 awards under this program are described in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table on page 74.
 
Ms. Ramos was eligible to participate in the ITT Long-Term Incentive Award Program for 2007. She was granted a total target long-term incentive award of $1,100,000 for 2007 comprised as follows:
 
•  One-half of the total award was in the form of a $550,000 target award for January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2009. This award was granted under the ITT 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The measurement period for this award was January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2009. The ultimate value of this award was determined based on TSR relative performance measured against the TSR Performance Index, in accordance with the terms of the plan, as described on pages 65 to 67, and its administrative rules and award documents.
 
•  One-fourth of the total award ($275,000) was in the form of an ITT restricted stock award under the 2003 Plan. These shares, subject to a three-year period of restriction, continued employment and the terms of the Plan, vested in full on July 2, 2010.
 
•  One-fourth of the total award ($275,000) was in the form of a non-qualified stock option award under the 2003 Plan. The option exercise price was the closing price of ITT common shares on

  the date of grant. These options vested on July 2, 2010 and will expire seven years from the date of grant, subject to continued employment and the terms of the Plan.
 
Restricted Stock Award:  As an offset for forfeited Furniture Brands Long-Term Incentive and Retention Awards that would otherwise have vested in 2007, 2008 and 2009, Ms. Ramos received a restricted stock award of 12,000 shares under the 2003 Plan as follows:
 
•  6,000 shares vested in 2009, and
 
•  the remaining 6,000 shares will vest four years after the grant date of Ms. Ramos’ fourth anniversary of employment (i.e., 2011).
 
In the event that Ms. Ramos is terminated by ITT, other than for cause, prior to the lapse of restrictions, this grant of restricted stock will vest in full upon termination.
 
Severance Arrangements:  Ms. Ramos is covered under the terms of the Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan described on pages 88 to 89. Notwithstanding the terms of such plan, should Ms. Ramos be terminated by the Company other than for cause at any time, she will receive a severance benefit equal to twenty-four months of base salary, subject to the Company’s severance policies. In the event of a termination in connection with a change of control as described on pages 90-91, Ms. Ramos would receive a severance pay equivalent to the sum of three times the highest annual base salary rate paid and three times the highest bonus paid in respect of the three years preceding an acceleration event.

(e) On June 28, 2004, Mr. Loranger received an award of 250,000 Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) under the ITT 2003 Equity Incentive Plan in connection with his employment agreement. The last tranche of Mr. Loranger’s June 28, 2004 award vested on June 28, 2010. This vesting included restricted stock units and applicable restricted unit dividends, in an amount equal to 88,821 shares. On the June 28, 2010 vesting date approximately one-half of the restricted stock units settled, with a value of $2,149,635 and the remainder of 42,869 shares were deferred and will settle within ten days of Mr. Loranger’s termination of employment. The value of this deferred amount was $2,005,412 on the vesting date. In addition, 2,227 restricted stock unit dividends (representing dividends attributable to shares which previously vested) vested, of which 369 settled and 1,858 were deferred.
 
With respect to all NEOs, the amount in column (e) does not include payment for the 2008-2010 TSR award, which vested on December 31, 2010, as the Company’s relative share price appreciation did not meet the minimum threshold requirement for a payment.
 
ITT Pension Benefits
 
ITT Salaried Retirement Plan. Under the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan, participants have the option, on an annual basis, to elect to be covered under either a Traditional Pension Plan or a Pension Equity Plan formula for future pension accruals. The ITT Salaried Retirement Plan is a funded and tax-qualified retirement program. The plan is described in detail below. All of the NEOs participate in the Traditional Pension Plan formula of the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan.
 
While the Traditional Pension Plan formula pays benefits on a monthly basis after retirement, the Pension Equity Plan formula enables participants to elect to have benefits paid as a single sum payment upon employment termination, regardless of the participant’s age. The Traditional Pension Plan benefit payable to an employee depends upon the date an employee first became a participant under the plan.
 
A participant first employed on or after January 1, 2000, under the Traditional Pension Plan would receive an annual pension that would equal:
 
  •  11/2% of his or her average final compensation (as defined below) for each year of benefit service up to 40 years, reduced by
 
  •  11/4% of his or her primary Social Security benefit for each year of benefit service up to a maximum of 40 years.


81


Table of Contents

 
For a participant first employed prior to January 1, 2005, average final compensation (including salary and approved bonus or AIP payments) is the total of:
 
  •  the participant’s average annual base salary for the five calendar years of the last 120 consecutive calendar months of eligibility service that would result in the highest average annual base salary amount, plus
 
  •  the participant’s average annual pension eligible compensation, not including base salary, for the five calendar years of the participant’s last 120 consecutive calendar months of eligibility service that would result in the highest average annual compensation amount.
 
For a participant first employed on or after January 1, 2005, average final compensation is the average of the participant’s total pension eligible compensation (salary, bonus and annual incentive payments for NEOs and other exempt salaried employees) over the highest five consecutive calendar years of the participant’s final 120 months of eligibility service.
 
For participants first employed from January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2004, under the Traditional Pension Plan, Standard Early Retirement is available as described above. Special Early Retirement is also available to employees who have attained at least age 55 with 15 years of eligibility service (but not earlier than age 55). For Special Early Retirement, the benefit payable at or after age 62 would be at 100%; if payments commence prior to age 62 they would be reduced by 5/12 of 1% for each of the first 48 months prior to age 62 and by an additional 4/12 of 1% for each of the next 12 months and by an additional 3/12 of 1% for each month prior to age 57. For participants first employed on or after January 1, 2005, and who retire before age 65, benefits may commence at or after age 55 but they would be reduced by 5/9 of 1% for each of the first 60 months prior to age 65 and an additional 5/18 of 1% for each month prior to age 60.
 
In December 2007, effective January 1, 2008, the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan and the ITT Excess Pension Plans were amended to provide for a three-year vesting requirement. In addition, for employees who are already vested and who are involuntarily terminated and entitled to severance payments from the Company, additional months of age and service (not to exceed 24 months) are to be imputed based on the employee’s actual service to his or her last day worked, solely for purposes of determining eligibility for early retirement.
 
The 2010 Pension Benefits table on page 83 of this Proxy Statement provides information on the pension benefits for the NEOs. At the present time, none of the NEOs listed in the Summary Compensation Table has elected to accrue benefits under the Pension Equity Plan formula. Mr. Loranger participates under the terms of the plan in effect for employees hired between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2004 and Ms. Ramos, Ms. McClain Mr. Melcher and Mr. Jimenez participate under the terms of the plan in effect for employees hired after January 1, 2005. The accumulated benefit an employee earns over his or her career with the Company is payable on a monthly basis starting after retirement. Employees may retire as early as age 55 under the terms of the plan. Pensions may be reduced if retirement starts before age 65. Possible pension reductions are described above.
 
Benefits under this plan are subject to the limitations imposed under Sections 415 and 401(a) (17) of the Internal Revenue Code in effect as of December 31, 2010. Section 415 limits the amount of annual pension payable from a qualified plan. For 2010, this limit is $195,000 per year for a single-life annuity payable at an IRS-prescribed retirement age. This ceiling may be actuarially adjusted in accordance with IRS rules for items such as employee contributions, other forms of distribution and different annuity starting dates. Section 401(a)(17) limits the amount of compensation that may be recognized in the determination of a benefit under a qualified plan. For 2010, this limit is $245,000.
 
ITT Excess Pension Plan. Since federal law limits the amount of benefits paid under and the amount of compensation recognized under tax-qualified retirement plans, the Company maintains the unfunded ITT Excess Pension Plan, which is not qualified for tax purposes. The purpose of the


82


Table of Contents

ITT Excess Pension Plan is to restore benefits calculated under the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan formula that cannot be paid because of the IRS limitations noted above. The Company has not granted any extra years of benefit service to any employee under either the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan or the Excess Pension Plan. In the event of a change of control, certain extra years of service may be allowed in accordance with the terms of the Special Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan described on pages 88-89 of this Proxy Statement.
 
In the event of a change of control, any excess plan benefit would be immediately payable, subject to any applicable Section 409A restrictions with respect to form and timing of payments, and would be paid in a single discounted sum. Amendments to the excess pension plan related to Section 409A compliance, while not modifying the previously disclosed definition of change in control in the excess pension plan, provide that payouts of pension amounts earned since January 1, 2005 require a change in control involving an acceleration event of 30% or more of the Company’s outstanding stock.
 
Special Pension Arrangement. Mr. Loranger’s employment agreement provides for a non-qualified pension arrangement if Mr. Loranger’s employment is terminated on or after June 28, 2009, or under certain circumstances prior to that date. This arrangement provides for an annuity paid monthly over Mr. Loranger’s life, calculated as a percentage of his average annual compensation for the five years in which his compensation was highest, which percentage ranges from 38%, if Mr. Loranger is age 57 upon the date of his termination, to 50%, if Mr. Loranger is at least age 60 on the date of his termination. Any amount so determined will be reduced by the amount to which Mr. Loranger is entitled to under the pension plans of ITT or the plans of any prior employer. Quantification of Mr. Loranger’s pension arrangements, as of December 31, 2010, is provided in the 2010 Pension Benefits table below and the arrangements are further discussed in footnote (5) to Mr. Loranger’s Potential Post-Employment Compensation table on page 93.
 
No pension benefits were paid to any of the named executives in the last fiscal year.

payable beginning on the first day of the month at normal retirement age 65 (column d)) or the earliest time at which a participant may retire under the plan without any benefit reduction due to age (column (e)). The six-month delay under the Pension Plan for “specified employees” as required under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code was disregarded for this purpose. All results shown are estimates only; actual benefits will be based on precise credited service and compensation history, which will be determined at termination of employment.
 
The 2010 row of the column titled Change in Pension Plan Value & Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings in the Summary Compensation Table quantifies the change in the present value of the Pension Plan benefit from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010. To determine the present value of the plan benefit as of December 31, 2009, the same assumptions that are described above to determine present value as of December 31, 2010 were used, except a 5.75% interest rate was used to determine the present value, as compared to a 6.00% interest rate as of December 31, 2009.
 
(d) The accumulated benefit is based on service and earnings (base salary and bonus and/or AIP payment) considered by the plans for the period through December 31, 2010, and represents the actuarial present value under ASC Topic 715 of pension earned to date and payable at the assumed normal retirement age for the named executives as defined under each plan, based upon actuarial factors and assumptions used in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K and as described in (1) above, regardless of whether or not the executive has vested in this benefit. Mr. Loranger’s Special Pension Arrangement is described in detail in this Proxy Statement on page 83. Mr. Loranger received a special pension arrangement in connection with his employment agreement to reflect the pension benefit with prior employers which he agreed to forego when he entered into his employment agreement with the Company.
 
(e) The amounts represent the actuarial present value of the accumulated benefit at December 31, 2010, for the named executives under each plan based upon actuarial factors and assumptions used in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2010 Form 10-K and as described in (1) above, where the retirement age is assumed to be the earliest age at which the individual can receive undiscounted early retirement benefits. Mr. Loranger has a Special Pension Arrangement. The present value of the accumulated benefit at the earliest date for unreduced benefits with respect to the Special Pension Arrangement for Mr. Loranger is $10,732,988.
 
ITT Deferred Compensation Plan
 
ITT Deferred Compensation Plan.  The ITT Deferred Compensation Plan is a tax deferral plan. The ITT Deferred Compensation Plan permits eligible executives with a base salary of at least $200,000 to defer between 2% and 90% of their AIP payment. The AIP amount deferred is included in the Summary Compensation Table under Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation. Withdrawals under the plan are available on payment dates elected by participants at the time of the deferral election. The withdrawal election is irrevocable except in cases of demonstrated hardship due to an unforeseeable emergency as provided by the ITT Deferred Compensation Plan. Amounts deferred will be unsecured general obligations of the Company to pay the deferred compensation in the future and will rank with other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company.
 
Participants can elect to have their account balances allocated into one or more of the 25 phantom investment funds (including a phantom Company stock fund) and can change their investment allocations on a daily basis. All plan accounts are maintained on the accounts of the Company and investment earnings are credited to a participant’s account (and charged to corporate earnings) to mirror the investment returns achieved by the investment funds chosen by that participant.


84


Table of Contents

 
A participant can establish up to six “accounts” into which AIP payment deferrals are credited and he or she can elect a different form of payment and a different payment commencement date for each “account.” One account may be selected based on a termination date (the “Termination Account”) and five accounts are based on employee-specified dates (each a “Special Purpose Account”). Each Special Purpose and Termination Account may have different investment and payment options. Termination Accounts will be paid in the seventh month following the last day worked. Changes to Special Purpose Account distribution elections must be made at least 12 months before any existing benefit payment date, may not take effect for at least 12 months, and must postpone the existing benefit payment date by at least five years. Additionally, Termination Account distribution elections are irrevocable.
 
ITT Excess Savings Plan.  Since federal law limits the amount of compensation that can be used to determine employee and employer contribution amounts ($245,000 in 2010) to the tax-qualified plan, the Company has established and maintains a non-qualified unfunded ITT Excess Savings Plan to allow for employee and Company contributions based on base salary in excess of these limits. Employee contributions under this plan are limited to 6% of base salary. All balances under this plan are maintained on the books of the Company and earnings are credited to the accumulated savings under the plan based on the earnings in the Stable Value Fund in the tax-qualified plan. Benefits will be paid in a lump sum in the seventh month following the last day worked.
 
Deferred Compensation.  Non-qualified savings represent amounts in the ITT Excess Savings Plan. Deferred Compensation earnings under the ITT Deferred Compensation Plan are calculated by reference to actual earnings of mutual funds or ITT stock as provided in the accompanying chart.

(1) Approximately one-half of the restricted stock units awarded to Mr. Loranger in 2004 vested in shares in one-third cumulative installments in 2007, 2008 and 2010, but did not settle. The vested but not settled shares were deferred and are expected to settle within ten days of Mr. Loranger’s termination, as provided in the Steve R. Loranger Employment Agreement. Amounts in column (c) for vested but undelivered shares reflect the value of shares which vested but did not settle pursuant to Mr. Loranger’s final installment vesting of restricted stock units on June 28, 2010 and the value of dividends on restricted stock units on the dividend grant date. Amounts in column (d) for vested but undelivered shares include the sum of the: 1) Difference between restricted stock unit value at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010 based on stock price appreciation or depreciation of all deferred restricted stock units vested in years prior to 2010; 2) Difference between restricted stock unit value at June 28, 2010 and December 31, 2010 of the deferred portion of the tranche which vested in 2010; and 3) Difference between the value of dividends on any restricted stock units on the date of dividend grant and December 31, 2010. Mr. Loranger had a beginning balance of $4,381,696 prior to 2010 representing restricted stock units and related dividend equivalents which previously vested but did not settle.
 
(b) Amounts for Executive Contributions in Last Fiscal Year for Ms. Ramos and Ms. McClain represent the deferred portion of the AIP for each respective NEO, which amounts were included in the Summary Compensation Table in the Company’s 2011 Proxy Statement.

POTENTIAL POST-EMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION
 
The Potential Post-Employment Compensation tables on pages 92 to 101 reflect the amount of compensation payable to each of the NEOs in the event of employment termination under several different circumstances, including voluntary termination, termination for cause, death, disability, termination without cause or termination in connection with a change of control. Ms. Ramos, Ms. McClain and Messrs. Melcher and Jimenez are covered under the Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan or Special Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan (applicable to change of control) described on pages 88 to 90 of this Proxy Statement.
 
Mr. Loranger is covered under the Steven R. Loranger Employment Agreement, described on pages 75 to 77 of this Proxy Statement and does not participate in any severance plans.
 
The amounts shown in the potential post-employment compensation tables are estimates (or the estimated present value of the ITT Excess Pension Plan which may be paid in continuing annuity payments), assuming that the triggering event was effective as of December 31, 2010, including amounts which would be earned through such date (or that would be earned during a period of severance), and where applicable, are based on the ITT closing stock price on December 31, 2010, the last trading day of 2010, which was $52.11.
 
The actual amounts to be paid out can only be determined at the time of such executive’s separation from ITT. For purposes of calculating the estimated potential payments to our officers under the ITT Excess Pension Plan, as reflected in the tables below, we have used the same actuarial factors and assumptions described in note (1) to the 2010 Pension Benefits table on page 83 and those used for financial statement reporting purposes as described in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2010 Form 10-K. The calculations assume a discount rate of 5.75% and take into account the UP 1994 Mortality Table projected to 2010, except as noted in the footnotes.
 
Payments and Benefits Provided Generally to Salaried Employees. The amounts shown in the tables below do not include payments and benefits to the extent these payments and benefits are provided on a non-discriminatory basis to salaried employees generally upon termination of employment. These include:
 
  •  Accrued salary and vacation pay;
 
  •  Regular pension benefits under the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan;
 
  •  Health care benefits provided to retirees under the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan, including retiree medical and dental insurance. Employees who terminate prior to retirement are eligible for continued benefits under COBRA; and
 
  •  Distributions of plan balances under the ITT Salaried Investment and Savings Plan and amounts currently vested under the ITT Excess Savings Plan.
 
No perquisites are available to any NEOs in any of the post-employment compensation circumstances. With respect to the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan, benefits under such plan may be deferred to age 65, but may become payable at age 55 or, if the participant is eligible for early retirement, the first of the month immediately following the last day worked without regard to the period of the severance payments. Benefits under the ITT Excess Pension Plan must commence as soon as possible but generally would be payable seven months following such date, retroactive to the date the ITT Excess Pension Plan benefit became payable.
 
Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan.  The amount of severance pay under this plan depends on the executive’s base pay and years of service. The amount will not exceed 24 months of base pay or be greater than two times the executive’s total annual compensation during the year immediately preceding termination. The Company considers these severance pay provisions appropriate transitional provisions given the job responsibilities and competitive market in which senior executives function. The Company’s obligation to continue severance payments stops if the executive does not


88


Table of Contents

comply with the Company’s Code of Corporate Conduct. We consider this cessation provision to be critical to the Company’s emphasis on ethical behavior. The Company’s obligation to continue severance payments also stops if the executive does not comply with non-competition provisions of the ITT Severance Policy or Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan. These provisions protect the integrity of our businesses and are consistent with typical commercial arrangements. Ms. McClain, Ms. Ramos, and Messrs. Melcher and Jimenez are covered under this plan. Mr. Loranger is covered under the terms of the Steven R. Loranger employment agreement as described on pages 75 to 77.
 
If a covered executive receives or is entitled to receive other compensation from another company, the amount of that other compensation could be used to offset amounts otherwise payable under the ITT Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan. During the severance payment period, the executive will have a limited right to continue to be eligible for participation in certain benefit plans. Severance pay will start within sixty days following the covered executive’s scheduled termination date.
 
Special Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan.  This plan provides two levels of benefits for covered executives, based on their position within the Company. The Committee considered two levels of benefits appropriate based on the relative ability of each level of employee to influence future Company performance. (Senior Vice Presidents receive the higher level and Vice Presidents the second level). Under the Special Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan, if a covered executive is terminated within two years of an acceleration event in a change of control or in contemplation of an acceleration in a change of control event that ultimately occurs or if the covered executive terminates his or her employment for good reason within two years of an acceleration event in the event of a change of control, he or she would be entitled to:
 
  •  any accrued but unpaid base salary, bonus (AIP payment), unreimbursed expenses and employee benefits, including vacation;
 
  •  two or three times the highest annual base salary rate during the three fiscal years immediately preceding the date of termination and two or three times the highest annual incentive plan payment paid or awarded in the three years preceding an acceleration event or termination;
 
  •  continuation of health and life insurance benefits and certain perquisites at the same levels for two or three years;
 
  •  a lump-sum payment equal to the difference between the total lump-sum value of his or her pension benefit under the Company’s pension plans, or any successor pension plans (provided such plans are no less favorable to the executive than the Company pension plans), and the total lump-sum value of his or her pension benefit under the pension plans after crediting an additional two or three years of age and eligibility and benefit service using the highest annual base salary rate and bonus for purposes of determining final average compensation under the pension plans;
 
  •  credit for an additional two or three years of age and two or three years of eligibility service under the retiree health and retiree life insurance benefits;
 
  •  a lump-sum payment equal to two or three times the highest annual base salary rate during the three years preceding termination or an acceleration event times the highest percentage rate of the Company’s contributions to the ITT Salaried Investment and Savings Plan and the ITT Excess Savings Plan, such payment not to exceed 3.5% per year; and
 
  •  tax gross-up for excise taxes imposed on the covered employee; and
 
  •  one year of outplacement.


89


Table of Contents

 
Ms. Ramos, Ms. McClain and Mr. Melcher are covered at the highest level of benefits. Mr. Jimenez is covered at the lower level of benefits. Mr. Loranger does not participate in this plan. Ms. Ramos is entitled to a cash payment upon severance, as described on pages 77 to 78, which payment may be delayed, if required by Section 409A.
 
Mr. Loranger.  Mr. Loranger’s entitlement to severance pay and benefits upon a termination from the Company during the two-year period following a change of control was a negotiated provision of the Steven R. Loranger Employment Agreement, which is described on pages 75 to 77.
 
Mr. Ramos.  Under the Ramos Letter agreement, should Ms. Ramos be terminated by the Company other than for cause, Ms. Ramos is entitled to a severance benefit equal to twenty-four months of base salary, subject to the Company’s severance policies.
 
The Potential Post-Employment Compensation tables on pages 92 to 101 of this Proxy Statement provide additional information.
 
CHANGE OF CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS
 
The payment or vesting of awards or benefits under each of the plans listed below would be accelerated upon the occurrence of a change of control of the Company. The reasons for the change of control provisions in these plans are to put the executive in the same position he or she would have been in had the change of control not occurred. Executives then can focus on preserving value for shareholders when evaluating situations that, without change of control provisions, could be personally adverse to the executive. There would be a change of control of the Company if one of the following acceleration events occurred:
 
1. A report on Schedule 13D was filed with the SEC disclosing that any person, other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries or any employee benefit plan that is sponsored by the Company or a subsidiary, had become the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding stock;
 
2. A person other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries or any employee benefit plan that is sponsored by the Company or a subsidiary purchased the Company’s shares in connection with a tender or exchange offer, if after consummation of the offer the person purchasing the shares is the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding stock;
 
3. The shareholders of the Company approved:
 
(a) any consolidation, business combination or merger of the Company other than a consolidation, business combination or merger in which the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the merger would hold 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company or the surviving corporation of the merger and would have the same proportionate ownership of common stock of the surviving corporation that they held in the Company immediately prior to the merger; or
 
(b) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company;
 
4. A majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company changed within a 12-month period, unless the election or nomination for election of each of the new Directors by the Company’s stockholders had been approved by two-thirds of the Directors still in office who had been Directors at the beginning of the 12-month period or whose nomination for election or election was recommended or approved by a majority of Directors who were Directors at the beginning of the 12-month period; or


90


Table of Contents

 
5. Any person other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries or any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company or a subsidiary became the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding stock.
 
At the time of an acceleration event, any unfunded pension plan obligations will be funded using a Rabbi Trust. Pre-2005 awards and benefits will be paid if the 20% threshold described above is reached. For awards or benefits earned since January 1, 2005, payment of awards or benefits would be made if a person other than the Company, its subsidiaries or any employment benefit plan sponsored by the Company becomes the beneficial owner of 30% or more of the Company’s outstanding stock.
 
If the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan is approved by shareholders at the Company’s 2011 Annual Meeting, change of control under that plan requires consummation of the transactions described in 3(a) and (b) above.
 
The following Company plans have change of control provisions:
 
  •  the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as proposed for shareholders approval in this 2011 Proxy Statement;
 
  •  the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan;
 
  •  the 1994 Incentive Stock Plan;
 
  •  the 1996 Restricted Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors;
 
  •  the 1997 Annual Incentive Plan for Executive Officers;
 
  •  the 1997 Annual Incentive Plan;
 
  •  the 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan;
 
  •  the Special Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan;
 
  •  the Enhanced Severance Pay Plan;
 
  •  the Deferred Compensation Plan;
 
  •  the Excess Savings Plan;
 
  •  the Excess Pension Plans;
 
  •  the Salaried Retirement Plan;
 
  •  the Steven R. Loranger Employment Agreement; and
 
  •  the Ramos Letter Agreement.
 
Potential post-employment compensation arrangements are more fully described for the NEOs in the tables on pages 92 to 101.

(b) If Mr. Loranger voluntarily terminates without good reason or is terminated for cause prior to the normal retirement age of 65 under the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan, he is entitled only to his base salary through the date of termination. He has no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits not vested prior to his termination date. Mr. Loranger is eligible to retire under the Steven R. Loranger Special Pension Arrangement.
 
(c) and (d) If Mr. Loranger terminates due to death or disability, Mr. Loranger, or his estate, is entitled to receive his 1) base salary and 2) any earned but unpaid AIP award payment for any calendar year preceding the year of termination plus 3) a pro-rata payment of the target AIP and outstanding TSR award based on the number of days elapsed during the applicable performance period or a greater amount as may be provided under the TSR.
 
(e) Termination not for cause includes termination by Mr. Loranger for good reason as described on pages 75 to 77 of this Proxy Statement.
 
(1) With respect to columns (e) and (f), in accordance with the Steven R. Loranger Employment Agreement, as amended to conform to Section 409A requirements as to timing and payments, described at pages 75 to 77 of this Proxy Statement, the Company will pay Mr. Loranger a lump-sum payment of any earned but unpaid base salary through the termination date, any earned but unpaid AIP award payment for the calendar year preceding the year termination occurs, a pro-rata target AIP award payment for the year of termination based on days elapsed

(the “accrued obligations”) plus cash severance in the amount of two times salary and two times the target AIP award payable in twenty-four installments over two years. If Mr. Loranger is terminated not for cause at the end of an employment term, Mr. Loranger receives one times his base salary plus his target bonus payable in twelve equal installments. In the event of a change of control, Mr. Loranger will receive the accrued obligations plus a lump-sum payment of severance pay equal to the sum of three times his base salary and three times an amount equal to Mr. Loranger’s highest AIP paid at any time during the three years prior to a change of control. Cash severance after a change of control will be paid as a lump sum. Each of the above is subject to Section 409A timing and payment requirements. If Mr. Loranger is terminated for cause, any AIP award is forfeited.
 
(2) Based on total shareholder return performance through December 31, 2010, outstanding TSR awards for the 2009-11 and 2010-12 performance periods would not earn a payout. Should Mr. Loranger resign or be terminated for cause, he would receive no TSR payment. In the event of death or disability, he would receive payment, if any, for outstanding TSR awards at target and in the event of termination without cause he would receive payment, if any, based on pro-rata portion of the outstanding TSR awards as of the termination date, based on the Company’s performance during the three-year period, in accordance with Section 409A. In the event of a change of control, a pro-rata portion of outstanding awards will be paid through the date of the change of control based on actual performance and the balance of the award will be paid at target (100%).
 
(3) Equity awards vest according to the terms described on pages 62 to 64 of this Proxy Statement. Unvested equity awards reflect the market value of stock and in-the-money value of options based on the Company’s December 31, 2010 closing stock price of $52.11.
 
(4) Mr. Loranger became vested in the ITT Excess Pension Plan benefit effective January 1, 2008 because of the plan change described on page 82 of this Proxy Statement. Mr. Loranger continues to be covered by the Special Pension Arrangement described on page 83 of this Proxy Statement.
 
(5) Mr. Loranger vested in The Special Pension Arrangement in 2010. Amounts in this table reflect the present value of 42% of the benefit payable at age 58, the special pension amounts in columns (a), (b), (c), and (e). The Special Pension Arrangement is described in more detail on page 83 of this Proxy Statement. In the event of a change of control, Mr. Loranger is entitled to an immediate lump-sum payment equal to the actuarial present value of the special pension upon his termination of employment by the Company without cause or by Mr. Loranger with good reason in either case upon or following a change of control.
 
(6) No additional ITT Excess Savings Plan payments are made in the event of voluntary or involuntary termination or termination for cause, because vesting in ITT Excess Savings Plan contributions occurs at five years of employment. Mr. Loranger was fully vested as of December 31, 2010 under the terms of the Steven R. Loranger Employment Agreement. ITT Excess Savings Plan amounts reflect credits in addition to any currently vested amount.
 
(7) In accordance with the Steven R. Loranger Employment Agreement, in the event of total disability or termination by the Company without cause, the Company will pay life insurance premiums for two years and, in the event of a change of control, the Company will pay life insurance premiums for three years.
 
(8) Amounts in column (f) assume termination occurs immediately upon a change of control based on the Company’s December 31, 2010 closing stock price of $52.11.

(1) Mr. Melcher is covered under the Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan. Under that plan, the Company will pay a severance benefit equal to 12 months of base salary if terminated other than for cause unless termination occurs after the normal retirement date. In the event of a change of control, Mr. Melcher is covered under the Company’s Special Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan, described on pages 89 to 90 of this Proxy Statement, and under the terms of the plan, would be paid a lump sum payment equal to three times his current salary plus three times the highest AIP award paid in the three years prior to a change of control.
 
(2) Based on total shareholder return performance through December 31, 2010, outstanding TSR awards for the 2009-11 and 2010-12 performance periods would not earn a payout. Should Mr. Melcher resign or be terminated for cause, he would receive no TSR payment. In the event of death or disability, he would receive payment, if any, for outstanding TSR awards and in the event of termination without cause he would receive payment, if any, based on a pro-rata portion of the outstanding TSR awards as of the termination date, based on the Company’s performance during the three-year period, in accordance with Section 409A. TSR awards provide that, in the event of a change of control, a pro-rata portion of outstanding awards will be paid through the date of the change of control based on actual performance and the balance of the award will be paid at target (100%).
 
(3) Unvested equity awards reflect the market value of stock and in-the-money value of options based on the Company’s December 31, 2010 closing stock price of $52.11.

The Plan was approved by the Board of Directors on February 23, 2011 and shall become effective May 11, 2011, the day following the Company’s 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, if approved by the Company’s shareholders at such Annual Meeting, or such other date as the Company’s shareholders shall approve such Plan, should the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders be postponed or delayed (the “Effective Date”).

1.2 Purpose of the Plan.  The purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term interests of the Company and its shareholders by strengthening the Company’s ability to attract and retain Employees of the Company and its Affiliates and members of the Board of Directors upon whose judgment, initiative, and efforts the financial success and growth of the business of the Company largely depend, and to provide an additional incentive for such individuals through share ownership and other rights that promote and recognize the financial success and growth of the Company and create value for shareholders.
 
1.3 Duration of the Plan.  The Plan shall commence as of the Effective Date, as described in Section 1.1 hereof, and shall remain in effect, subject to the right of the Compensation and Personnel Committee of the Board, (the “Committee”) to amend or terminate the Plan at any time pursuant to Article 14 hereof, until all Shares subject to it shall have been purchased or acquired according to the Plan’s provisions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) upon the exercise of a stock-settled Stock Appreciation Right or net-settled Option, the number of Shares subject to the Award (or portion of the Award) that is then being exercised shall be counted against the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan as provided above, on the basis of one Share for every Share subject thereto, regardless of the actual number of Shares issued upon exercise and (b) any Shares withheld with respect to an Award (or, with respect to Restricted Stock, returned) in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations shall be counted as Shares issued.
 
Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2 herein, the number of Shares hereby reserved for issuance under the Plan for Full Value Awards shall not exceed four million six hundred thousand (4,600,000). In addition, (x) any Shares remaining available for issuance of Full Value Awards under the Prior Plan as of the date of approval of the Plan by the shareholders at the 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders shall be available for grant of Full Value Awards under the Plan and (y) any Shares related to Full Value Awards under the Plan or the Prior Plan that terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation, or otherwise without the issuance of such Shares, are settled in cash in lieu of Shares, or are exchanged with the Committee’s permission for Awards not involving Shares, shall be available again for grant of Full Value Awards under the Plan.

4.2 Adjustments in Authorized Shares.  In the event of any equity restructuring (within the meaning of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718 that causes the per share value of Shares to change, such as a stock dividend, stock split, spin off, rights offering, or recapitalization through a large, nonrecurring cash dividend, the Committee shall cause there to be made an equitable adjustment to: (a) the number and, if applicable, kind of shares that may be issued under the Plan or pursuant to any type of Award under the Plan, (b) the Award Limits, (c) the number and, if applicable, kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards and (d) as applicable, the Option Price or Grant Price of any then outstanding Awards. In the event of any other change in corporate structure or capitalization, such as a merger, consolidation, any reorganization (whether or not such reorganization comes within the definition of such term in Section 368 of the Code) or any partial or complete liquidation of the Company, the Committee, in its sole discretion, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of Participants’ rights under the Plan, shall cause there to be made such equitable adjustments described in the foregoing sentence. Any fractional shares resulting from adjustments made pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be eliminated. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of the Plan.
 
Except to the extent it would unintentionally cause Performance Based Compensation to fail to qualify for the performance based exception to Code Section 162(m), appropriate adjustments may also be made by the Committee in the terms of any Awards under the Plan to reflect such changes or distributions and to modify any other terms of outstanding Awards on an equitable basis, including modifications of performance goals and changes in the length of Performance Periods. The determination of the Committee as to the foregoing adjustments, if any, shall be conclusive and binding on Participants under the Plan.
 
Subject to the provisions of Article 13, without affecting the number of Shares reserved or available hereunder, the Committee may authorize the issuance or assumption of benefits under this Plan in connection with any merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, share exchange, amalgamation, reorganization or similar transaction upon such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate; provided, however, that no such issuance or assumption shall be made without affecting the number of Shares reserved or available hereunder if it would prevent the granting of ISOs under the Plan.

17.10 Employees or Directors Based Outside of the United States.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in order to comply with the laws in other countries in which the Company and its Affiliates operate or have Employees or Directors, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to:

SERIES A PARTICIPATING CUMULATIVE PREFERRED STOCK
 
A description of such Series A Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock with the designations, voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions relating thereto is as follows:
 
SECTION 2.  Designation and Number of Shares.  The shares of such series shall be designated as “Series A Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock” (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), without par value. The number of shares initially constituting the Series A Preferred Stock shall be 300,000; provided, however, that, if more than a total of 300,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be issuable upon the exercise of Rights (the “Rights”) issued pursuant to that Rights Agreement between the Corporation and The Bank of New York, a New York banking corporation, as Rights Agent (the “Rights Agreement”), the Board of Directors of the Corporation, pursuant to Section 23-1-25-2(d) of the Business Corporation Law of the State of Indiana, shall direct by resolution or resolutions that articles of amendment be properly executed and delivered to the Secretary of State for the State of Indiana for filing in accordance with the provisions of Section 23-1-18-1 and Section 23-1-38-6 thereof, providing for the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock authorized to be issued to be increased (to the extent that the Articles of Incorporation


C-3


Table of Contents

then permit) to the largest number of whole shares (rounded up to the nearest whole number) issuable upon exercise of such Rights.
 
SECTION 3.  Dividends or Distributions.  (a) Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of shares of any other series of Preferred Stock or other class of capital stock of the Corporation ranking prior and superior to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of the assets of the Corporation legally available therefor, (1) quarterly dividends payable in cash on the last day of each fiscal quarter in each year, or such other dates as the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall approve (each such date being referred to herein as a “Quarterly Dividend Payment Date”), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or a fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, in the amount of $.01 per whole share (rounded to the nearest cent) less the amount of all cash dividends declared on the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the following clause (2) since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock (the total of which shall not, in any event, be less than zero) and (2) dividends payable in cash on the payment date for each cash dividend declared on the Common Stock in an amount per whole share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the Formula Number (as hereinafter defined) then in effect times the cash dividends then to be paid on each share of Common Stock. In addition, if the Corporation shall pay any dividend or make any distribution on the Common Stock payable in assets, securities or other forms of noncash consideration (other than dividends or distributions solely in shares of Common Stock), then, in each such case, the Corporation shall simultaneously pay or make on each outstanding whole share of Series A Preferred Stock a dividend or distribution in like kind equal to the Formula Number then in effect times such dividend or distribution on each share of the Common Stock. As used herein, the “Formula Number” shall be 1,000; provided, however, that, if at any time after the Distribution Record Date (as defined in that Notice of Special Meeting and Proxy Statement, dated August 30, 1995, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by ITT Corporation), the Corporation shall (i) declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock or make any distribution on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide (by a stock split or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock or (iii) combine (by a reverse stock split or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such event the Formula Number shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the Formula Number in effect immediately prior to such event by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that are outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to such event (and rounding the result to the nearest whole number); and provided further, that, if at any time after the Distribution Record Date, the Corporation shall issue any shares of its capital stock in a merger, reclassification, or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then in each such event the Formula Number shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such merger, reclassification or change so that each share of Preferred Stock continues to be the economic equivalent of a Formula Number of shares of Common Stock prior to such merger, reclassification or change.
 
(b) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution of the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in Section 2(a) immediately prior to or at the same time it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend or distribution solely in shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that, in the event no dividend or distribution (other than a dividend or distribution in shares of Common Stock) shall have been declared on the Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend


C-4


Table of Contents

Payment Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $.01 per share on the Series A Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be the same as the record date for any corresponding dividend or distribution on the Common Stock.
 
(c) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock from and after the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of original issue of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock; provided, however, that dividends on such shares which are originally issued after the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and on or prior to the next succeeding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from and after such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividends on shares of Series A Preferred Stock which are originally issued prior to the record date for the determination of holders of shares or Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date shall be calculated as if cumulative from and after the last day of the fiscal quarter next preceding the date of original issuance of such shares. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding.
 
(d) So long as any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends or other distributions shall be declared, paid or distributed, or set aside for payment or distribution, on the Common Stock unless, in each case, the dividend required by this Section 2 to be declared on the Series A Preferred Stock shall have been declared.
 
(e) The holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive any dividends or other distributions except as provided herein.
 
SECTION 4.  Voting Rights.  The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:
 
(a) Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a number of votes equal to the Formula Number then in effect, for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held of record on each matter on which holders of the Common Stock or shareholders generally are entitled to vote, multiplied by the maximum number of votes per share which any holder of the Common Stock or shareholders generally then have with respect to such matter (assuming any holding period or other requirement to vote a greater number of shares is satisfied).
 
(b) Except as otherwise provided herein or by applicable law, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock shall vote together as one class for the election of directors of the Corporation and on all other matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Corporation.
 
(c) If, at the time of any annual meeting of shareholders for the election of directors, the equivalent of six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on any share or shares of Series A Preferred Stock are in default, the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall be increased by two. In addition to voting together with the holders of Common Stock for the election of other directors of the Corporation, the holders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class to the exclusion of the holders of Common Stock, shall be entitled at said meeting of shareholders (and at each subsequent annual meeting of shareholders), unless all


C-5


Table of Contents

dividends in arrears have been paid or declared and set apart for payment prior thereto, to vote for the election of two directors of the Corporation, the holders of any Series A Preferred Stock being entitled to cast a number of votes per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the Formula Number. Until the default in payments of all dividends which permitted the election of said directors shall cease to exist, any director who shall have been so elected pursuant to the next preceding sentence may be removed at any time, either with or without cause, only by the affirmative vote of the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the time entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast for the election of any such director at a special meeting of such holders called for that purpose, and any vacancy thereby created may be filled by the vote of such holders. If and when such default shall cease to exist, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be divested of the foregoing special voting rights, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent like default in payments of dividends. Upon the termination of the foregoing special voting rights, the terms of office of all persons who may have been elected directors pursuant to said special voting rights shall forthwith terminate, and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced by two. The voting rights granted by this Section 3(c) shall be in addition to any other voting rights granted to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in this Section 3.
 
(d) Except as provided herein, in Section 11 or by applicable law, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for authorizing or taking any corporate action.
 
SECTION 5.  Certain Restrictions.  (a) Whenever quarterly dividends or distributions payable on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not
 
(i) declare or pay dividends on, make any other distributions on, or redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock;
 
(ii) declare or pay dividends on or make any other distributions or any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series A Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled;
 
(iii) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock; provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such parity stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock; or
 
(iv) purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to all holders of such shares upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights and preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine in good faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or classes.

SECTION 6.  Liquidation Rights.  Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, no distribution shall be made (1) to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have received an amount, equal to the accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment, plus an amount equal to the greater of (x) $.01 per whole share or (y) an aggregate amount per share equal to the Formula Number then in effect times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders of Common Stock or (2) to the holders of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock, except distributions made ratably on the Series A Preferred Stock and all other such parity stock in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up; provided that in no event shall the amount or amounts, if any, exceed $100 per share plus accrued dividends in the case of involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.
 
SECTION 7.  Consolidation, Merger, etc.  In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash or any other property, then in any such case the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed into an amount per share equal to the Formula Number then in effect times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is exchanged or changed. In the event both this Section 6 and Section 2 appear to apply to a transaction, this Section 6 will control.
 
SECTION 8.  No Redemption; No Sinking Fund.  (a) The shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be subject to redemption by the Corporation or at the option of any holder of Series A Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Corporation may purchase or otherwise acquire outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the open market or by offer to any holder or holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
 
(b) The shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be subject to or entitled to the operation of a retirement or sinking fund.
 
SECTION 9.  Ranking.  The Series A Preferred Stock shall rank junior to all other series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation, unless the Board of Directors shall specifically determine otherwise in fixing the powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of the shares of such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof.
 
SECTION 10.  Fractional Shares.  The Series A Preferred Stock shall be issuable upon exercise of the Rights issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement in whole shares or in any fraction of a share that is one one-thousandths (1/1,000ths) of a share or any integral multiple of such fraction which shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holder’s fractional shares, to receive dividends, exercise voting rights, participate in distributions and to have the benefit of all other rights of holders of Series A Preferred Stock. In lieu of fractional shares, the Corporation, prior to the first issuance of a share or a fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, may elect (1) to make a cash payment as provided in the Rights Agreement for fractions of a share other than one one-thousandths (1/1,000ths) of a share or any integral multiple thereof or (2) to issue depository receipts evidencing such authorized fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to an appropriate agreement between the

SECTION 12.  Amendment.  None of the powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of the Series A Preferred Stock as provided herein or in the Articles of Incorporation shall be amended in any manner which would alter or change the powers, preferences, rights or privileges of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 662/3% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, provided, however, that no such amendment approved by the holders of at least 662/3% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to apply to the powers, preferences, rights or privileges of any holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock originally issued upon exercise of a Right after the time of such approval without the approval of such holder.
 
ARTICLE FIFTH
 
(a) The number of directors constituting the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall be fixed in accordance with the By-Laws of the Corporation. In a contested election of directors (i.e. any election where the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected), directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election at a meeting at which a quorum is present. In an uncontested election of directors, directors shall be elected by a plurality, or such greater number as is specified in the By-Laws of the Corporation, of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election at a meeting at which a quorum is present.
 
(b) Special meetings of shareholders of the Corporation may be called only (i) by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, (ii) by a majority vote of the entire Board of Directors or (iii) by the Secretary of the Corporation upon the written request (a “Special Meeting Request”) of shareholders of record having, as of the date of the Special Meeting Request, an aggregate “net long position” of at least 35% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on the matter or matters to be brought before the proposed special meeting (provided that such Special Meeting Request complies and is in accordance with the By-laws of the Corporation), and may not be called by any other person or persons. “Net long position” shall determined with respect to each requesting holder in accordance with the definition thereof set forth in Rule 14e-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, provided that (x) for purposes of such definition, in determining such holder’s “short position,” the reference in such Rule to “the date that a tender offer is first publicly announced or otherwise made known by the bidder to holders of the security to be acquired” shall be the date of the relevant Special Meeting Request and the reference to the “highest tender offer price or stated amount of the consideration offered for the subject security” shall refer to the closing sales price of the Corporation’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on such date (or, if such date is not a trading day, the next succeeding trading day) and (y) the “net long position” of such holder shall be reduced by the number of shares as to which such holder does not, or will not, have the right to vote or direct the vote at the proposed special meeting or as to which such holder has entered into any derivative or other agreement, arrangement or understanding that hedges or transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such shares. The “net long position” shall be determined in good faith by the Board, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Corporation and the shareholders.

1.2 Day and Time of Annual Meetings of Shareholders.  An annual meeting of shareholders shall be held at such place (within or outside the state of Indiana), date and hour as shall be determined by the Board and designated in the notice thereof. Failure to hold an annual meeting of shareholders at such designated time shall not affect otherwise valid corporate acts or work a forfeiture or dissolution of the Corporation.
 
1.3 Purposes of Annual Meetings.  (a) At each annual meeting, the shareholders shall elect the members of the Board for the succeeding term. At any such annual meeting any business properly brought before the meeting may be transacted.
 
(b) To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (i) specified in the notice of the meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board, (ii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a shareholder. For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder, the shareholder must have given written notice thereof, either by personal delivery or by United States mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary, received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation, not less than 90 calendar days nor more than 120 calendar days prior to the date of the Corporation’s proxy statement released to shareholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the date of the annual meeting was changed by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the previous year’s annual meeting, notice by the shareholder must be so received not earlier than 120 calendar days prior to such annual meeting and not later than 90 calendar days prior to such annual meeting or 10 calendar days following the date on which public announcement of the date of the meeting is first made. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of a meeting commence a new time period, or extend any time period, for the giving of written notice. Any such notice shall set forth as to each matter the shareholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and, in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend either the Articles of Incorporation or By-laws of the Corporation, the language of the proposed amendment, (ii) the name and address of the shareholder proposing such business and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, (iii) a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such business, (iv) any material interest of the shareholder, and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, in such business, (v) if the shareholder or beneficial owner, if any, intends or is part of a group that intents to (x) deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal or (y) otherwise solicit proxies or votes in support of such shareholder’s proposal, a representation to that effect, (vi) any other information relating to such shareholder and beneficial owner, if any, required to be disclosed

in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for the proposal, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, (vii) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to the proposal and/or the voting of shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation between or among the shareholder giving the notice, the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, any of their respective affiliates or associates and/or any others acting in concert with any of the foregoing (collectively, “Proponent Persons”, which term, for purposes of Section 2.2 herein, shall include each nominee (and his or her respective affiliates or associates and/or any others acting in concert with such nominee) and shall be defined as if the foregoing clause had, in each case, replaced the word “proposal” with the word “nomination”); and (viii) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including without limitation any swap or other derivative or short position, profits interest, hedging transaction, borrowed or loaned shares, any contract to purchase or sell, acquisition or grant of any option, right or warrant to purchase or sell, or other instrument) to which any Proponent Person is a party, the intent or effect of which may be (x) to transfer to or from any Proponent Person, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security of the Corporation, (y) to increase or decrease the voting power of any Proponent Person with respect to shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation and/or (z) to provide any Proponent Person, directly or indirectly, with the opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from, or to otherwise benefit economically from, or to mitigate any loss resulting from, the value (or any increase or decrease in the value) of any security of the Corporation. A shareholder providing notice of business proposed to be brought before a meeting (whether given pursuant to this Section 1.3(b) or Section 1.4 of the By-Laws) shall update and supplement such notice from time to time to the extent necessary so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is fifteen calendar days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof; such update and supplement shall be delivered in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five (5) days after the record date for the meeting (in the case of any update and supplement required to be made as of the record date), and not later than ten calendar days prior to the date for the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof (in the case of any update and supplement required to be made as of fifteen calendar days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof). The foregoing notice requirements shall be deemed satisfied by a shareholder if the shareholder has notified the Corporation of his or her intention to present a proposal at an annual meeting and such shareholder’s proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by management of the Corporation to solicit proxies for such annual meeting; provided, however, that, if such shareholder does not appear or send a qualified representative to present such proposal at such annual meeting, the Corporation need not present such proposal for a vote at such meeting, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. No business shall be conducted at an annual meeting of shareholders except in accordance with this Section 1.3(b), and the chairman of any annual meeting of shareholders may refuse to permit any business to be brought before an annual meeting without compliance with the foregoing procedures or if the shareholder solicits proxies in support of such shareholder’s proposal without such shareholder having made the representation required by clause (v) of the preceding sentence.
 
1.4 Special Meetings of Shareholders.  (a) Except as otherwise expressly required by applicable law, special meetings of the shareholders or of any class or series entitled to vote may be called for any purpose or purposes by the Chairman, by a majority vote of the entire Board or by the Secretary of the Corporation in accordance with these By-Laws and the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation to be held at such place (within or outside the state of Indiana), date and hour as

shall be determined by the Board and designated in the notice thereof. Only such business as is specified in the notice of any special meeting of the shareholders shall come before such meeting.
 
(b) A special meeting of shareholders shall be called by the Secretary of the Corporation at the written request or requests (each, a “Special Meeting Request” and, collectively, the “Special Meeting Requests”) of shareholders who are shareholders of record having, as of the date on which such Special Meeting Request is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation, an aggregate “net long position” (as defined in Article Fifth of the Articles of Incorporation) of at least thirty-five percent (35%) of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote on the matter or matters to be brought before the proposed special meeting (the “Requisite Percentage”) if such Special Meeting Request complies with the requirements of this Section 1.4(b) and all other applicable sections of these By-Laws and the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation. The Board shall determine in good faith whether all requirements set forth in these By-Laws have been satisfied and such determination shall be binding on the Corporation and its shareholders. A Special Meeting Request must be delivered by hand or by mail by registered U.S. mail or courier service, postage pre-paid, to the attention of the Secretary during regular business hours. A Special Meeting Request to the Secretary shall be signed and dated by each shareholder of record (or a duly authorized agent of such shareholder) requesting the special meeting (each, a “Requesting Shareholder”), shall comply with the shareholder notice and information requirements for annual meetings set forth in Section 1.3(b) and, if applicable, the shareholder notice and information requirements for nominations of a person or persons for election as Director(s) as set forth in Section 2.2, and shall also include (i) a statement of the specific purpose or purposes of the special meeting, (ii) the matter(s) proposed to be acted on at the special meeting, (iii) the reasons for conducting such business at the special meeting, (iv) the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration, (v) an acknowledgement by the Requesting Shareholder(s) and the beneficial owners, if any, on whose behalf the Special Meeting Request(s) are being made that any reduction in the aggregate net long position of the Requesting Shareholder(s) below the Requisite Percentage following the delivery of the Special Meeting Request shall constitute a revocation of such Special Meeting Request, and (vi) documentary evidence that the Requesting Shareholders own the Requisite Percentage as of the date of such written request to the Secretary; provided, however, that, if the Requesting Shareholders are not the beneficial owners of the shares representing the Requisite Percentage, then to be valid, the Special Meeting Request(s) must also include documentary evidence (or, if not simultaneously provided with the Special Meeting Request(s), such documentary evidence must be delivered to the Secretary within ten (10) business days after the date on which the Special Meeting Request(s) are delivered to the Secretary) that the beneficial owners on whose behalf the Special Meeting Request(s) are made beneficially own the Requisite Percentage as of the date on which such Special Meeting Request(s) are delivered to the Secretary. In addition, the Requesting Shareholders and the beneficial owners, if any, on whose behalf the Special Meeting Request(s) are being made shall promptly provide any other information reasonably requested by the corporation.
 
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.4, a special meeting requested by shareholders shall not be held if (i) the Special Meeting Request does not comply with this Section 1.4, (ii) the Special Meeting Request relates to an item of business that is not a proper subject for shareholder action under applicable law, (iii) the Special Meeting Request is received by the Secretary during the period commencing ninety calendar days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the immediately preceding annual meeting and ending on the date of the next annual meeting, (iv) an annual or special meeting of shareholders that included an identical or substantially similar item of business (“Similar Business”) was held not more than one hundred twenty calendar days before the Special Meeting Request was received by the Secretary, (v) the Board or the Chairman of the Board has called or calls for an annual or special meeting of shareholders to be held within ninety calendar days after the Special


D-3


Table of Contents

Meeting Request is received by the Secretary and the business to be conducted at such meeting includes the Similar Business, or (vi) the Special Meeting Request was made in a manner that involved a violation of Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable law. For purposes of this Section 1.4(c), the nomination, election or removal of Directors shall be deemed to be Similar Business with respect to all items of business involving the nomination, election or removal of Directors, changing the size of the Board and filling of vacancies and/or newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of Directors. The Board shall determine in good faith whether the requirements set forth in this Section 1.4(c) have been satisfied.
 
(d) In determining whether a special meeting of shareholders has been requested by the record holders of shares representing in the aggregate at least the Requisite Percentage, multiple Special Meeting Requests delivered to the Secretary will be considered together only if (i) each Special Meeting Request identifies substantially the same purpose or purposes of the special meeting and substantially the same matters proposed to be acted on at the special meeting (in each case as determined in good faith by the Board), and (ii) such Special Meeting Requests have been dated and delivered to the Secretary within sixty (60) days of the earliest dated Special Meeting Request. A Requesting Shareholder may revoke a Special Meeting Request at any time by written revocation delivered to the Secretary and if, following such revocation, there are outstanding un-revoked requests from Requesting Shareholders holding less than the Requisite Percentage, the Board may, in its discretion, cancel the special meeting. If none of the Requesting Shareholders appears or sends a duly authorized agent to present the business to be presented for consideration that was specified in the Special Meeting Request, the corporation need not present such business for a vote at such special meeting.
 
(e) Special meetings shall be held at such date, time and place as may be fixed by the Board in accordance with these by-laws; provided, however, that in the case of a special meeting requested by shareholders, the date of any such special meeting shall not be more than ninety calendar days after a Special Meeting Request that satisfies the requirements of this Section 1.4 (or, in the case of multiple Special Meeting requests, the last Special Meeting Request necessary to reach the Requisite Percentage) is received by the Secretary.
 
1.5 Notice of Meetings of Shareholders.  Except as otherwise expressly required or permitted by applicable law, not less than ten days nor more than sixty days before the date of every shareholders’ meeting the Secretary shall give to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting written notice stating the place, day and time of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called and indication that notice is being issued by or at the direction of the person or persons calling the meeting. Except as provided in Section 1.6(d) or as otherwise expressly required by applicable law, notice of any adjourned meeting of shareholders need not be given if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. Any notice, if mailed, shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the shareholder at the address for notices to such shareholder as it appears on the records of the Corporation.
 
1.6 Quorum of Shareholders.  (a) Unless otherwise expressly required by applicable law, at any meeting of the shareholders, the presence in person or by proxy of shareholders entitled to cast a majority of votes thereat shall constitute a quorum. Shares of the Corporation’s stock belonging to the Corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in an election of the directors of such other corporation is held by the Corporation, shall neither be counted for

(b) At any meeting of the shareholders at which a quorum shall be present, a majority of those present in person or by proxy may adjourn the meeting from time to time without notice other than announcement at the meeting. In the absence of a quorum, the officer presiding thereat shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall be present. Notice of any adjourned meeting other than announcement at the meeting shall not be required to be given, except as provided in Section 1.6(d) below and except where expressly required by applicable law.
 
(c) At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting originally called, but only those shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting as originally noticed shall be entitled to vote at any adjournment or adjournments thereof unless a new record date is fixed by the Board.
 
(d) If a new date, time and place of an adjourned meeting is not announced at the original meeting before adjournment, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given in the manner specified in Section 1.5 to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
 
1.7 Chairman and Secretary of Meeting.  The Chairman or, in his or her absence, another officer of the Corporation designated by the Chairman, shall preside at meetings of the shareholders.

(b) When a quorum is present at any meeting of the shareholders, action on a matter (other than the election of directors) by a voting group is approved if the votes cast within the voting group favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless express provision of law or the Articles of Incorporation require a greater number of affirmative votes.
 
(c) Except as required by applicable law, the vote at any meeting of shareholders on any question need not be by ballot, unless so directed by the chairman of the meeting. On a vote by ballot, each ballot shall be signed by the shareholder voting, or by his or her proxy, if there be such proxy, and shall state the number of shares voted.
 
1.9 Proxies.  Any shareholder entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders may vote either in person or by proxy. A shareholder may authorize a person or persons to act for the shareholder as proxy by (i) the shareholder or the shareholder’s designated officer, director, employee or agent executing a writing by signing it or by causing the shareholder’s signature or the signature of the designated officer, director, employee or agent of the shareholder to be affixed to the writing by any reasonable means, including by facsimile signature; (ii) the shareholder transmitting or authorizing the transmission of an electronic submission which may be by any electronic means, including data and voice telephonic communications and computer network to (a) the person who will be the holder of the proxy; (b) a proxy solicitation firm; or (c) a proxy support service organization or similar agency authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive the electronic submission, which electronic submission must either contain or be accompanied by information from which it can be determined that the electronic submission was transmitted by or authorized by the shareholder; or (iii) any other method allowed by law.

Any shareholder of record entitled to vote for the election of Directors at a meeting may nominate a person or persons for election as Directors only if written notice of such shareholder’s intent to make such nomination is given in accordance with the procedures for bringing business before the meeting set forth in Section 1.3(b) of these By-Laws, either by personal delivery or by United States mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary, received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation, not later than (i) with respect to an election to be held at an annual meeting of shareholders, not less than 90 calendar days nor more than 120 calendar days prior to the date of the Corporation’s proxy statement released to shareholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the date of the annual meeting was changed by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the previous year’s annual meeting, notice by the shareholder must be so received not earlier than 120 calendar days prior to such annual meeting and not later than 90 calendar days prior to such annual meeting or 10 calendar days following the date on which public announcement of the date of the meeting is first made, and (ii) with respect to an election to be held at a special meeting of shareholders for the election of Directors, not earlier than 120 calendar days prior to such special meeting and not later than 90 calendar days prior to such special meeting or 10 calendar days following the date on which public announcement of the date of the special meeting is first made and of the nominees to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of a meeting commence a new time period, or extend any time period, for the giving of written notice. Any such notice shall set forth: (a) the name and address of the shareholder who intends to make the nomination and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made and of the person or persons to be nominated; (b) a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice; (c) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the shareholder, any beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination is made and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to be made by the shareholder; (d) such other information regarding each shareholder, the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made and nominee proposed by such shareholder as would have been required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with solicitations of proxies for the election of directors in an election contest; (e) the consent of each nominee to serve as a Director if so elected;(f) if the shareholder or beneficial owner, if any, intends to (x) deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to the holders of at least the percent of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to elect the nominee and/or (y) otherwise solicit proxies of votes from shareholders in support of such shareholder’s nominee(s), a representation to that effect; (g) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to the nomination and/or the voting of shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation between or among the Proponent Persons; and (viii) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including without limitation any swap or other derivative or short position, profits interest, hedging transaction, borrowed or loaned shares, any contract to purchase or sell, acquisition or grant of any option,

A shareholder providing notice of a proposed nomination (whether given pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 1.4 of these By-Laws) shall update and supplement such notice from time to time to the extent necessary so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is fifteen calendar days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof; such update and supplement shall be delivered in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five calendar days after the record date for the meeting (in the case of any update and supplement required to be made as of the record date), and not later than ten calendar days prior to the date for the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof (in the case of any update and supplement required to be made as of fifteen calendar days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof).The chairman of any meeting of shareholders to elect Directors and the Board may refuse to acknowledge the nomination of any person not made in compliance with the foregoing procedures or if the shareholder solicits proxies in support of such shareholder’s nominee(s) without such shareholder having made the representation required by (f) of the preceding sentence. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation.
 
In an uncontested election (i.e. any election in which the number of nominees does not exceed the number of Directors to be elected), Directors shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Any Director nominee that does not receive the requisite votes shall not be elected. Any Director nominee who fails to be elected but who is a Director at the time of the election shall remain a Director until a successor shall have been elected and qualified (a “Holdover Director”). A Holdover Director shall promptly provide a written resignation to the Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Corporation.
 
The Nominating and Governance Committee shall promptly consider the resignation and all relevant facts and circumstances concerning the vote, including whether the cause of the vote may be cured and the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders. After consideration, the Nominating and Governance Committee shall make a recommendation to the independent Directors of the Board.
 
The independent Directors of the Board will act on the Nominating and Governance Committee’s recommendation at its next regularly scheduled Board Meeting or within 90 days after certification of the shareholder vote, whichever is earlier.
 
The Board will promptly publicly disclose its decision (by a press release, a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other broadly disseminated means of communication) and the reasons for its decision.
 
Any Holdover Director who tenders a resignation shall not participate in the Nominating and Governance Committee’s recommendation or Board action regarding whether to accept the resignation offer.
 
If each member of the Nominating and Governance Committee receives less than a majority of the votes cast at the same election, then the independent Directors who receive more than a majority of the votes cast shall appoint a committee among themselves to consider the resignation offers

Any Director or officer of the Corporation entitled to indemnification as provided in this Section 4.1(a) is hereinafter called an “Indemnitee”. Any right of an Indemnitee to indemnification shall be a contract right and shall include the right to receive, prior to the conclusion of any Proceeding, payment of any expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding, consistent with the provisions of applicable law as then in effect and the other provisions of this Article 4.
 
(b) Effect of Amendments.  Neither the amendment or repeal of, nor the adoption of a provision inconsistent with, any provision of this Article 4 (including, without limitation, this Section 4.1(b)) shall adversely affect the rights of any Director or officer under this Article 4 (i) with respect to any Proceeding commenced or threatened prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision or (ii) after the occurrence of a Change in Control, with respect to any Proceeding arising out of any action or omission occurring prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision, in either case without the written consent of such Director or officer.

Proceedings commenced or continuing after the adoption of this Article 4, whether arising from acts or omissions occurring before or after such adoption.

(a) Advancement of Expenses.  All reasonable expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding shall be advanced to the Indemnitee by the Corporation within 20 days after the receipt by the Corporation of a statement or statements from the Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Any such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the expenses incurred by the Indemnitee and shall include any written affirmation or undertaking required by applicable law in effect at the time of such advance.
 
(b) Procedures for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.  (i) To obtain indemnification under this Article 4, an Indemnitee shall submit to the Secretary of the Corporation a written request, including such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification (the “Supporting Documentation”). The determination of the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall be made not later than 60 days after receipt by the Corporation of the written request for indemnification together with the Supporting Documentation. The Secretary of the Corporation shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board in writing that the Indemnitee has requested indemnification. (ii) The Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification under this Article 4 shall be determined in one of the following ways: (A) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined), if they constitute a quorum of the Board; (B) by a written opinion of Independent Counsel as hereinafter defined) if (x) a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined) shall have occurred and the Indemnitee so requests or (y) a quorum of the Board consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a majority of such Disinterested Directors so directs; (C) by the shareholders of the Corporation (but only if a majority of the Disinterested Directors, if they constitute a quorum of the Board, presents the issue of entitlement to indemnification to the shareholders for their determination); or (D) as provided in Section 4.4(c) of this Article 4.
 
(iii) In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 4.4(b)(ii), a majority of the Disinterested Directors shall select the Independent Counsel, but only an Independent Counsel to which the Indemnitee does not reasonably object; provided, however, that if a Change in Control shall have occurred, the Indemnitee shall select such Independent Counsel, but only an Independent Counsel to which a majority of the Disinterested Directors does not reasonably object.
 
(c) Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article 4, if a Change in Control shall have occurred, the Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this Article 4 (with respect to actions or failures to act occurring prior to such Change in Control) upon submission of a request for indemnification together with the Supporting Documentation in accordance with Section 4.4(b) of this Article 4, and thereafter the Corporation shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in reaching a contrary determination. In any event, if the person or persons empowered under Section 4.4(b) of this Article 4 to determine entitlement to indemnification shall not have been appointed or shall not have made a determination within 60 days after receipt by the Corporation of the request therefor together with the Supporting Documentation, the Indemnitee shall be deemed to be, and shall be, entitled to indemnification unless


D-16


Table of Contents

(A) the Indemnitee misrepresented or failed to disclose a material fact in making the request for indemnification or in the Supporting Documentation or (B) such indemnification is prohibited by law. The termination of any Proceeding described in Section 4.1 of this Article 4, or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, adversely affect the right of the Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
 
(d) Remedies of Indemnitee.  (i) In the event that a determination is made pursuant to Section 4.4(b) of this Article 4 that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Article 4, (A) the Indemnitee shall be entitled to seek an adjudication of his or her entitlement to such indemnification either, at the Indemnitee’s sole option, in (x) an appropriate court of the state of Indiana or any other court of competent jurisdiction or (y) an arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association; (B) any such judicial proceeding or arbitration shall be de novo and the Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of such adverse determination; and (C) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, in any such judicial proceeding or arbitration the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Article 4 (with respect to actions or failures to act occurring prior to such Change in Control).
 
(ii) If a determination shall have been made or deemed to have been made, pursuant to Section 4.4(b) or (c) of this Article 4, that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Corporation shall be obligated to pay the amounts constituting such indemnification within five days after such determination has been made or deemed to have been made and shall be conclusively bound by such determination unless (A) the Indemnitee misrepresented or failed to disclose a material fact in making the request for indemnification or in the Supporting Documentation or (B) such indemnification is prohibited by law. In the event that (x) advancement of expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 4.4(a) of this Article 4 or (y) payment of indemnification is not made within five days after a determination of entitlement to indemnification has been made or deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 4.4(b) or (c) of this Article 4, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to seek judicial enforcement of the Corporation’s obligation to pay to the Indemnitee such advancement of expenses or indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may bring an action, in an appropriate court in the state of Indiana or any other court of competent jurisdiction, contesting the right of the Indemnitee to receive indemnification hereunder due to the occurrence of an event described in Subclause (A) or (B) of this Clause (ii) (a “Disqualifying Event”); provided, however, that in any such action the Corporation shall have the burden of proving the occurrence of such Disqualifying Event.
 
(iii) The Corporation shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 4.4(d) that the procedures and presumptions of this Article 4 are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Corporation is bound by all the provisions of this Article 4.
 
(iv) In the event that the Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 4.4(d), seeks a judicial adjudication of or an award in arbitration to enforce his or her rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Article 4, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Corporation, and shall be indemnified by the Corporation against, any expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee if the Indemnitee prevails in such judicial adjudication or arbitration. If it shall be determined in such judicial adjudication or

The Corporation may also advance expenses incurred by such employee, fiduciary or agent in connection with any such Proceeding, consistent with the provisions of applicable law as then in effect.
 
4.6 Severability.  If any of this Article 4 shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article 4 (including, without limitation, all portions of any Section of this Article 4 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (ii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article 4 (including, without limitation, all portions of any Section of this Article 4 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
 
5.   CAPITAL STOCK.
 
5.1 Stock Certificates.  (a) Shares of stock of each class of the Corporation may be issued in book-entry form or evidenced by certificates. However, every holder of stock of the Corporation shall be entitled upon request to a stock certificate evidencing the shares owned by the shareholder, signed by, or in the name of, the Corporation by the Chairman or any Vice Chairman or the President or any Vice President, and by the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary. Every certificate shall state on its face (or in the case of book-entry shares, the statement evidencing ownership of such shares shall state) the name of the Corporation and that it is organized under the laws of the State of Indiana, the name of the person to whom the certificate (or bookentry statement) was issued, and the number and class of shares and the designation of the series, if any, the certificate (or book-entry statement) represents, and shall state conspicuously on its front or back that the Corporation will furnish the shareholder, upon his written request and without charge, a summary of the designations, relative rights, preferences, and limitations applicable to each class and the variations in rights, preferences, and limitations determined for each series (and the authority of the Board of Directors to determine variations for future series), which certificate, if any, shall otherwise be in such form as the Board shall prescribe and as provided in Section 5.1(d).
 
(b) If a certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent other than the Corporation or its employee, or by a registrar other than the Corporation or its employee, the signatures of the officers of the Corporation may be facsimiles, and, if permitted by applicable law, any other signature on the certificate may be a facsimile.
 
(c) In case any officer who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer at the date of issue.
 
(d) Any certificates of stock shall be issued in such form not inconsistent with the Articles of Incorporation. They shall be numbered and registered in the order in which they are issued. No certificate shall be issued until fully paid.
 
(e) All certificates surrendered to the Corporation shall be cancelled (other than treasury shares) with the date of cancellation and shall be retained by or under the control of the Chief Financial Officer, together with the powers of attorney to transfer and the assignments of the shares represented by such certificates, for such period of time as such officer shall designate.
 
5.2 Record Ownership.  A record of the name of the person, firm or corporation and address of each holder of stock, the number of shares of each class and series represented thereby and the date of issue thereof shall be made on the Corporation’s books. The Corporation shall be entitled


D-19


Table of Contents

to treat the holder of record of any share of stock as the holder in fact thereof, and accordingly shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in any share on the part of any person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as required by applicable law.
 
5.3 Transfer of Record Ownership.  Transfers of stock shall be made on the books of the Corporation only by direction of the person named in the certificate (or book-entry statement) or such person’s attorney, lawfully constituted in writing, and only upon the surrender of the certificate, if any, therefor and a written assignment of the shares evidenced thereby. Whenever any transfer of stock shall be made for collateral security, and not absolutely, it shall be so expressed in the entry of the transfer if, when the certificates, if any, are presented to the Corporation for transfer, both the transferor and transferee request the Corporation to do so.
 
5.4 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates.  New certificates or uncertificated shares representing shares of the stock of the Corporation shall be issued in place of any certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed in such manner and on such terms and conditions as the Board from time to time may authorize in accordance with applicable law.
 
5.5 Transfer Agent; Registrar; Rules Respecting Certificates.  The Corporation shall maintain one or more transfer offices or agencies where stock of the Corporation shall be transferable. The Corporation shall also maintain one or more registry offices where such stock shall be registered. The Board may make such rules and regulations as it may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration of stock certificates (or book-entry statements) in accordance with applicable law.
 
5.6 Fixing Record Date for Determination of Shareholders of Record.  (a) The Board may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for the purpose of determining the shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of the shareholders or any adjournment thereof, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall not be more than sixty days nor less than ten days before the date of a meeting of the shareholders. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a shareholders’ meeting shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting and shall fix a new record date if such adjourned meeting is more than 120 days after the date of the original meeting. (b) The Board may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for the purpose of determining the shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or the allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or in order to make a determination of the shareholders for the purpose of any other lawful action, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall not be more than sixty calendar days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining the shareholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.
