ITT SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN











As Amended and Restated as of January 1, 2016






INTRODUCTION


The ITT Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”) was originally named the ITT Excess Savings Plan and was effective as of January 1, 1987. The purpose of the Plan was to provide a means of restoring the contributions lost under the ITT Investment and Savings Plan for Salaried Employees (the “Former Savings Plan”) due to the application of the limitations imposed on qualified plans by Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”).
As of January 1, 1989, the Plan was amended to provide (i) a means for restoring, for an employee participating in the Former Savings Plan, the matching and other employer contributions lost under the Former Savings Plan due to the application of the limitations imposed on qualified plans by Section 401(a)(17) and Section 402(g)(1) of the Code and (ii) a means of providing such employees with an opportunity to defer a portion of their salary in accordance with the terms of the Former Savings Plan as hereinafter set forth.
As of January 1, 1995, the Plan was further amended to provide a means of restoring, for an employee participating in the Former Savings Plan, matching and other employer contributions lost due to the deferral of base compensation under another nonqualified deferred compensation program. As of December 19, 1995, the Plan was renamed and continued as the ITT Industries Excess Savings Plan.
As of January 1, 1996, the Plan was further amended to solely provide to individuals who were designated as Eligible Employees under the Plan on and after January 1, 1996, a means to restore the contributions lost under the Former Savings Plan due to the application of the limitations imposed




by Sections 415 and 401(a)(17) of the Code and providing such employees with an opportunity to defer a portion of their base salary and to transfer any liabilities not attributable to such benefits to the ITT Industries Deferred Compensation Plan. The Plan was further amended, effective as of (i) January 1, 1997, to provide additional optional forms of distributions and to revise the participation requirements, (ii) July 1, 1997, to revise the eligibility requirements to permit an Eligible Employee to participate in his first year of employment, and (iii) September 1, 1997, to further expand the distribution options available under the Plan.
In July, 2004, the Plan was amended and restated to make certain changes regarding the effect of an Acceleration Event and to unify the definition of Acceleration Event with other employee benefit plans of ITT Industries, and to make certain other technical amendments.
Effective as of July 1, 2006, the Plan was renamed the ITT Excess Savings Plan. Effective as of January 1, 2008, the Plan was amended to make certain administrative changes.
Effective as of December 31, 2008, the Plan was amended and restated to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
Effective as of October 31, 2011, ITT split into three separate companies, ITT Corporation, Exelis Inc. and Xylem Inc. Under the Employee Benefits and Compensation Matters Agreement, dated October 25, 2011, ITT Corporation agreed to continue the Plan for eligible employees of ITT Corporation and of its subsidiaries and to transfer the liabilities attributable to participants who become or were employees of Xylem Inc. or Exelis Inc., or one of their subsidiaries to Xylem Inc. or Exelis Inc., respectively.




Effective as of October 31, 2011 the Plan was amended and restated to reflect the enhanced employer contribution formula provided under the ITT Corporation Retirement Savings Plan for Salaried Employees, the successor plan to the Former Savings Plan, and to rename the Plan as the ITT Corporation Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan for Salaried Employees. The Plan was further amended to cease Salary Deferrals by eligible employees effective as of January 1, 2012.
Effective January 1, 2016, sponsorship of the Plan was transferred from ITT Corporation to its subsidiary, ITT Industries Holdings, Inc. and the Plan was renamed the ITT Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan for Salaried Employees. The Plan was amended and restated as of January 1, 2016 to reflect such transfer of sponsorship and plan name change. The Plan was further renamed the ITT Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan on April 28, 2016.
All benefits payable under this Plan, which is intended to constitute both an unfunded excess benefit plan under Section 3(36) of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and a nonqualified, unfunded deferred compensation plan for a select group of management employees under Title I of ERISA, shall be paid out of the general assets of the Corporation. The Corporation may establish and fund a trust in order to aid it in providing benefits due under the Plan.

(a)
Salary Deferrals
The amount of Salary Deferrals for each Plan Year beginning prior to January 1, 2012 shall be equal to the designated percentage of Salary elected by the Member in his Salary Reduction Agreement, provided that the allocation under the Plan and the reduction in the Eligible Employee’s Salary corresponding to such election shall be made only with respect to Salary that is otherwise earned and payable to such Member during the Plan Year in excess of the Statutory Compensation Limitation.
Unless otherwise permitted by the Committee, the designated percentage elected by the Member in his Salary Reduction Agreement for a Plan Year must be a uniform percentage, equal to either zero (0%) percent or six (6%) percent, of his Salary. The total Salary Deferral amount elected for a Plan Year shall reduce the Member’s Salary earned and otherwise payable in that Plan Year, and shall not be applied against any amount deferred under any other nonqualified plan maintained by the Company.

17




during that portion of the Plan Year which causes his Salary under the terms of the Savings Plan for the total 2011 Plan Year to exceed the Statutory Compensation Limitation for that Plan Year.
With respect to Plan Years commencing on and after January 1, 2012, the amount of Excess Matching Contributions credited to a Member’s Matching Contribution Account for each particular Plan Year shall be equal to three percent (3%) of the portion of an Eligible Employee’s Salary in that particular Plan Year that exceeds the Statutory Compensation Limitation for that Plan Year.
(c)
Excess Floor Contributions

(ii)    the amount of Floor Company Contribution (as that term is defined under the Savings Plan) made by the Company on behalf of the Member under the Savings Plan for such Plan Year and allocated to the Member’s account under the Savings Plan in such Plan Year.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective as of October 31, 2011, Excess Floor Contributions shall not be made to the Plan with respect to a Member’s Salary paid on and after October 31, 2011.

3.05

The Committee shall value or cause to be valued each Member’s Accounts at least quarterly. On each Reporting Date there shall be allocated to the Accounts of each Member the appropriate amount determined in accordance with Section 3.02.

5.02
No Contract of Employment    
The Plan is not a contract of employment and the terms of employment of any Member shall not be affected in any way by this Plan or related instruments, except as specifically provided therein. The establishment of the Plan shall not be construed as conferring any legal rights upon any person for a continuation of employment, nor shall it interfere with the rights of the Company or an Associated Company to discharge any person and to treat him without regard to the effect which such treatment might have upon him under this Plan. Each Member and all persons who may have or claim any right by reason of his participation shall be bound by the terms of this Plan and all agreements entered into pursuant thereto.

Unsecured Interest    
Neither the Corporation, the Company, their respective boards of directors nor the Committee in any way guarantees the performance of the investment fund designated under Section 3.02. No special or separate fund shall be established, and no segregation of assets shall be made, to assure the payments thereunder. No Member hereunder shall have any right, title, or interest whatsoever in any specific assets of the Corporation or ITT. Nothing contained in this Plan and no action taken pursuant to its provisions shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Corporation and a Member or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured creditor of the Corporation.
5.04
Facility of Payment    
In the event that the Committee shall find that a Member or Beneficiary is unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident or has died, or if a Beneficiary is a minor, the Committee may direct that any benefit payment due him, unless claim shall have been made therefore by a duly appointed legal representative, be paid on his behalf to his spouse, a child, a parent or other blood relative, or to a person with whom he resides, and any such payment so made shall thereby be a complete discharge of the liabilities of the Corporation and the Plan for that payment.
5.05
Withholding Taxes    
The Company or an Associated Company shall have the right to deduct from each payment to be made under the Plan any required withholding taxes.
5.06
