EXELIS INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(DOLLARS AND SHARE AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS, UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED)
NOTE 1
BACKGROUND, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND USE OF ESTIMATES
Background
Exelis Inc. (“Exelis” or the “Company”) is a leader in Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) related products and systems and information and technical services, which it supplies to military, government and commercial customers in the United States and globally. Exelis provides mission-critical systems in the areas of networked communications, sensing and surveillance, electronic warfare, navigation, air traffic solutions and information systems, with growing positions in cyber-security, composite aerostructures, logistics and technical services. The Company’s customers include the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), including the U.S. Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force, and its prime contractors, U.S. Government intelligence agencies, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), allied foreign governments and domestic and foreign commercial customers. As a prime contractor, subcontractor, or preferred supplier, Exelis participates in many high priority defense and non-defense programs in the United States. Exelis conducts most of its business with the U.S. Government, principally the DoD.
Unless the context otherwise requires, references in these notes to “Exelis”, “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company” and “our Company” refer to Exelis Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared annually in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 . We believe that the disclosures included in this Form 10-Q are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
Our quarterly financial periods end on the Saturday closest to the last day of the calendar quarter, except for the last quarterly period of the fiscal year, which ends on December 31 st . For ease of presentation, the quarterly financial statements included herein are described as ending on the last day of the calendar quarter. The results reported in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are revised as additional information becomes available. Estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to, revenue recognition, income taxes, contingency accruals and valuation allowances, fair value measurements, impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, postretirement obligations and certain contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
During the performance of long-term sale contracts, estimated final contract prices and costs are reviewed periodically and revisions are made as required and recorded in income in the period in which they are determined. Changes in estimated revenues, cost of revenue and the related effect to operating income are recognized using a cumulative catch-up adjustment which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a contract’s percent complete. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , net favorable

Page | 7


cumulative catch-up adjustments related to prior periods increased operating income by approximately $39 and $59 , respectively, and diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.13 and $0.21 , respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 , net favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments related to prior periods increased operating income by approximately $47 and $60 , respectively, and diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.16 and $0.20 , respectively.
NOTE 2
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recently Adopted Pronouncements
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance intended to update the disclosure requirements for accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). This guidance does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. The updated guidance requires an entity to disclose additional information about changes in AOCI balances by component and significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by component. This guidance is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2013 and have provided the additional required disclosures in the notes to these financial statements.
Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
New pronouncements issued but not effective until after June 30, 2013 are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 3
RESTRUCTURING CHARGES, NET
During the first quarter of 2013, we initiated an action to reduce the size of our workforce and consolidate our facilities footprint to align our cost structure more closely to customer and market conditions, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2013 . Through voluntary and involuntary employee reductions, we are eliminating approximately 1,100 positions related to this action, which includes factory workers, administrative personnel and management employees. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we expect to incur aggregate restructuring charges in the range of $70 to $80 related to this action. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , charges incurred under this action primarily related to employee severance, and to a lesser extent, lease cancellation and other costs associated with the consolidation of certain facilities. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , we recorded net restructuring charges of $13 and $62 , respectively, related to this action and none related to prior actions. We did not have any individually significant restructuring activities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 .
The components of restructuring charges, net, are summarized in the table below.

Restricted stock awards containing rights to non-forfeitable dividends which participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders are considered participating securities for purposes of computing earnings per share.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , we excluded from our diluted share calculation 6.6 and 10.7 shares, respectively, related to stock options and zero shares related to restricted stock units, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 , we excluded 10.0 and 8.9 shares, respectively, related to stock options and less than 0.1 shares for both periods related to restricted stock units, as their effect would have been antidilutive.

NOTE 5
SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Capital Stock
Authorized capital was comprised of 750 shares of common stock ( $0.01 par value per share (in whole dollars)) and 50 shares of preferred stock ( no par value) on June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 . There were 188.5 and 188.3 shares of common stock issued at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively, and 188.1 and 188.3 shares of common stock outstanding at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively. No preferred stock was issued and outstanding at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 .
During the three months ended June 30, 2013 , we repurchased a total of 0.4  shares of our common stock under our share repurchase program for $ 5 , and as of June 30, 2013 the Company had remaining authorization of $ 95 for future share repurchases through December 31, 2015. We account for shares repurchased as treasury stock under the cost method.
Dividends
On May 8, 2013 , our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share, payable on July 1, 2013 to shareholders of record on May 24, 2013 . During the six months ended June 30, 2013 , we declared two quarterly cash dividends totaling $39 or $0.21 per share (in whole dollars).

(a) This accumulated other comprehensive loss component primarily relates to the amortization of net actuarial loss. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , the amortization of net actuarial loss was $ 18 (net of tax of $ 11 ) and $ 36 (net of tax of $24 ), respectively, which are included in the computation of net periodic benefit cost (Note 12).
Unamortized defined benefit plan costs consist primarily of net actuarial loss totaling $1,693 and $1,845 , net of tax, as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively. Net actuarial gains or losses principally arise from gains or losses on plan assets due to variations in the fair market value of the underlying assets and changes in the benefit obligation due to changes in actuarial assumptions.
Unamortized defined benefit plan costs included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were reduced by taxes of $ 1,111 and $ 1,211 as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The changes in defined benefit plan costs included in other comprehensive income (loss) in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income were reduced by taxes of $88 and $100 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively, and $9 and $17 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 , respectively.

NOTE 7
INCOME TAXES
Effective Tax Rate
Our quarterly income tax expense is measured using an estimated annual effective income tax rate, adjusted for discrete items within the period. The comparison of effective income tax rates between periods is significantly affected by discrete items recognized during the periods, the level and mix of earnings by tax jurisdiction and permanent differences.
For the three months ended June 30, 2013 , the Company recorded an income tax provision of $42 or 35.0% of income from continuing operations before income tax expense as compared to $49 or 36.3% during the same prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 , the Company recorded an income tax provision of $62 or 33.7% of income from continuing operations before income tax expense as compared to $100 or 39.1% during the same prior year period. The effective income tax rate varies from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the unfavorable impact of state taxes offset by the favorable impacts from the U.S. manufacturing deduction. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013 also included the favorable impact of a discrete item related to the renewal of the 2012 federal research and development tax credit. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2012 also included the unfavorable impact of nondeductible separation costs.
Uncertain Tax Positions
As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , unrecognized tax benefits were $35 and $56 , respectively. Unrecognized tax benefits are primarily related to the timing of certain income and deductions and we anticipate that these unrecognized tax benefits will significantly decrease within twelve months of the reporting date due to the expected filing and acceptance of accounting method changes, which will not impact income tax expense.
We classify interest relating to tax matters as a component of interest expense and tax penalties as a component of income tax expense in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , we had no interest accrued for tax matters and $ 6 and $ 9 , respectively, accrued for tax penalties.

Total billed receivables due from the U.S. Government, either directly or as a subcontractor with the U.S. Government, were $426 and $340 at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively. Because the Company’s receivables are primarily with the U.S. Government, the Company does not have a material credit risk exposure.
Unbilled contract receivables represent revenue recognized on long-term contracts in excess of amounts billed as of the balance sheet date. We expect to bill and collect substantially all of the June 30, 2013 unbilled contract receivables during the next twelve months as scheduled performance milestones are completed or units are delivered.

Commercial Paper
The Company’s commercial paper program generally enables the Company to borrow short-term funds at competitive rates. The commercial paper program is fully supported by available borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , there was no commercial paper outstanding under our commercial paper program.
Credit Facility
The Company has a competitive advance and revolving credit facility agreement (“Credit Facility”) with a consortium of lenders, which is available for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. The Credit Facility provides for a four year maturity, expiring October 25, 2015 , with a one year extension option upon satisfaction of certain conditions, and comprises an aggregate principal amount of up to $600 of revolving loans, competitive advances and letters of credit in a face amount up to $100 . Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at rates based, at our option, on a Eurodollar rate or an alternate base rate, as defined in the Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , there were no borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility.
The Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict our ability to: incur additional debt or issue guarantees of indebtedness; create liens; enter into certain sale and lease-back transactions; merge or consolidate with another person; sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of assets; liquidate or dissolve; and enter into restrictive covenants. Additionally, the Credit Facility requires us not to permit the ratio of combined total indebtedness to combined EBITDA (leverage ratio) to exceed 3.50 to 1.00 at any time.

Senior Notes
The Company has outstanding long-term debt of $250 aggregate principal amount of 4.25%  senior notes due October 1, 2016 and $400 aggregate principal amount of 5.55%  senior notes due October 1, 2021 (together the “Notes”). As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , accrued interest payable on the Notes, included in other accrued liabilities, was $8 and $8 , respectively, and is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year.
The Notes have covenants that restrict our ability to, subject to exceptions, incur indebtedness secured by liens or engage in sale and leaseback transactions. The Notes also have customary events of default, including, but not limited to, non-payment of principal and interest, and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company. Under the terms of the Notes, we have the option to redeem the Notes prior to maturity, and we will be required to make an offer to purchase the Notes if a change of control triggering event (as defined in the Notes indenture) occurs.

We contributed $62 and $261 to our qualified defined benefit pension plans during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively. We currently anticipate making additional contributions to our qualified defined benefit pension plans in the range of $80 to $90 during the remainder of 2013 .
During the second quarter of 2013, the U.S. Salaried Retirement Plan (U.S. SRP) and related Excess Pension Plans were amended to freeze all future benefit accruals effective December 31, 2016. As a result, the assets and liabilities of the U.S. SRP and related plans were re-measured as of May 31, 2013, improving the funded status of the plans by approximately $190 due to a reduced projected benefit obligation primarily caused by the use of a higher discount rate and lower projected actuarial loss. The re-measurement will reduce net periodic benefit costs by approximately $14 in 2013 primarily due to lower service costs.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company maintains an equity incentive plan to govern awards granted to Exelis employees and directors, including awards of non-qualified stock options (NQOs), restricted stock units (RSUs), total shareholder return (TSR) awards, and other awards.

(a)
In whole dollars.
During the six months ended June 30, 2013 , we granted long-term incentive awards to employees consisting of 2.9 NQOs and 1.1 RSUs with respective weighted average grant date fair values (in whole dollars) of $1.93 and $11.14 . The NQOs vest annually in three equal installments and have a ten -year expiration period. RSUs vest on the completion of a three -year service period. We also granted TSR awards with an aggregate target value of $4 that are cash settled at the end of a three -year performance period.
The fair values of NQOs are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The fair values of RSUs are determined based on the closing price of Exelis common stock on the date of grant. The fair values of TSR awards are measured quarterly based on the Company’s performance relative to the performance of a concentrated group of our peer companies and the S&P 1500 Aerospace and Defense index. Depending on the Company’s performance during the three-year performance period, payment can range from 0% to 200% of the target value.

NOTE 14
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Separation Agreements
On October 31, 2011, ITT Corporation ("ITT") completed the spin-off (the “Spin-off”) of Exelis and Exelis began operating as a stand-alone publicly traded corporation. Prior to the Spin-off, Exelis operated as the Defense and Information Solutions Segment of ITT.
In order to govern certain ongoing relationships between Exelis and ITT following the Spin-off and to provide mechanisms for an orderly transition, on October 25, 2011, Exelis, ITT, and Xylem Inc. executed the various agreements that govern the ongoing relationships between and among the three companies after the Spin-off and provide for the allocation of employee benefits, income taxes, and certain other liabilities and obligations attributable to periods prior to the Spin-off. The executed agreements include the Distribution Agreement, Benefits and Compensation Matters Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement, several real estate matters agreements, and Master Transition Services Agreement.
The Distribution Agreement provides for certain indemnifications and cross-indemnifications among Exelis, ITT and Xylem Inc. The indemnifications address a variety of subjects, including indemnification by ITT of Exelis in respect of certain asserted and unasserted asbestos or silica liability claims. Certain intercompany work orders and/or informal intercompany commercial arrangements were converted into third-party contracts based on ITT’s standard terms and conditions.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , charges incurred for services provided to Exelis by ITT and Xylem Inc. under the separation agreements, net of costs passed through to third parties, were $0.4 and $1 , respectively, and $1 and $1 , for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 , respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , charges related to these agreements for services provided by Exelis to ITT and Xylem Inc., net of costs passed through to third parties, were $0.4 and $1 , respectively, and $1 and $1 , for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 , respectively. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , total payables due from Exelis to ITT and Xylem Inc. were $4 and $3 , respectively and total receivables due to Exelis from ITT and Xylem Inc. were $7 and $7 , respectively.
NOTE 15
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
General
From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to the operation of our businesses. Some of these proceedings seek remedies relating to environmental matters, personal injury claims, employment and pension matters, and commercial or contractual disputes, sometimes related to acquisitions or divestitures.
Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information, including our assessment of the merits of the particular claim, we do not expect that any asserted or unasserted legal claims or proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our cash flow, results of operations, or financial condition.

Page | 16


Environmental
In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations. We are responsible, or are alleged to be responsible, for ongoing environmental investigation and remediation of multiple sites. These sites are in various stages of investigation and/or remediation and in many of these proceedings our liability is considered de minimis. We have received notification from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and from similar environmental agencies, that a number of sites formerly or currently owned and/or operated by Exelis, and other properties or water supplies that may be or have been impacted from those operations, contain disposed or recycled materials or wastes and require environmental investigation and/or remediation. These sites include instances where we have been identified as a potentially responsible party under federal and state environmental laws and regulations.
Accruals for environmental matters are recorded on a site by site basis when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, based on current law and existing technologies available to us. Our accrued liabilities for these environmental matters represent our best estimates related to the investigation and remediation of environmental media such as water, soil, soil vapor, air and structures, as well as related legal fees. These estimates, and related accruals, are reviewed quarterly and updated for progress of investigation and remediation efforts and changes in facts and legal circumstances. Liabilities for these environmental expenditures are recorded on an undiscounted basis.
It is difficult to estimate the final costs of investigation and remediation due to various factors, including incomplete information regarding particular sites and other potentially responsible parties, uncertainty regarding the extent of investigation or remediation and our share, if any, of liability for such conditions, the selection of alternative remedial approaches, and changes in environmental standards and regulatory requirements. We have estimated and accrued $27 and $27 as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively, for environmental matters. In our opinion, the total amount accrued is appropriate based on existing facts and circumstances.
The following table illustrates the range of estimated loss and number of active sites for these environmental matters:

U.S. Government Contracts, Investigations and Claims
The Company has U.S. Government contracts that are funded incrementally on a year-to-year basis. Changes in government policies, priorities or funding levels through agency or program budget reductions by the U.S. Congress or executive agencies could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. Furthermore, contracts with the U.S. Government may be terminated or suspended by the U.S. Government at any time, with or without cause. Such contract suspensions or terminations could result in un-reimbursable expenses or charges or otherwise adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and/or results of operations.
Departments and agencies of the U.S. Government have the authority to investigate various transactions and operations of the Company, and the results of such investigations may lead to administrative, civil or criminal proceedings, the ultimate outcome of which could be fines, penalties, repayments or compensatory or treble damages. U.S. Government regulations provide that certain findings against a contractor may lead to suspension or debarment from future U.S. Government contracts or the loss of export privileges for a company or an operating division or subdivision. Suspension or debarment could have a material adverse effect on the Company because of its reliance on government contracts.

Page | 17


U.S. Government agencies, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) and others, routinely audit and review a contractor’s performance on government contracts, indirect rates and pricing practices, and compliance with applicable contracting and procurement laws, regulations and standards. Accordingly, costs billed or billable to the U.S. Government customers are subject to potential adjustment upon audit by such agencies. They also review the adequacy of the contractor’s compliance with government standards for its accounting and management internal control systems, including: control environment and accounting system, general information technology system, budget and planning system, purchasing system, material management and accounting system, compensation system, labor system, indirect and other direct costs system, billing system and estimating system. Audits currently underway include the Company’s control environment and accounting, billing, purchasing, and indirect and other direct cost systems, as well as reviews of the Company’s compliance with certain U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards.
From time to time, customers advise the Company of claims and penalties concerning certain potential disallowed costs. When such findings are presented, Exelis and the U.S. Government representatives engage in discussions to enable Exelis to evaluate the merits of these claims as well as to assess the amounts being claimed. Where appropriate, provisions are made to reflect the expected exposure to the matters raised by the U.S. Government representatives and such provisions are reviewed on a quarterly basis for sufficiency based on the most recent information available.
Indemnifications
As part of the Spin-off, Exelis, ITT and Xylem Inc. indemnify one another with respect to such parties’ assumed or retained liabilities under the Distribution Agreement and breaches of the Distribution Agreement or related Spin-off agreements. Exelis expects ITT and Xylem Inc. to fully perform under the terms of the Distribution Agreement and therefore we have not recorded a liability for matters for which we are indemnified. In addition, we are not aware of any claims or other circumstances that would give rise to material payments to ITT or Xylem Inc. under the indemnity that we provide to them.
Letters of Credit
In the ordinary course of business, we use standby letters of credit, guarantees issued by commercial banks and surety bonds issued by insurance companies, as well as self-guarantees, principally to guarantee our performance on certain contracts and to support our self-insured workers’ compensation plans. At June 30, 2013 , there was an aggregate of approximately $109 in surety bonds, guarantees and stand-by letters of credit outstanding.
Rabbi Trust
The Company maintains a grantor trust (“Rabbi Trust”) for the purpose of assisting the Company with the payment of certain nonqualified deferred compensation obligations in the event of a change in control of the Company. The Company is obligated to contribute an amount equal to 110 percent of the Company’s obligations under eight nonqualified deferred compensation plans at the time of an “Acceleration Event,” as defined in such plans and the Rabbi Trust.
NOTE 16
SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company’s segments are reported on the same basis used internally for evaluating performance and for allocating resources. We operate in two segments: C4ISR Electronics and Systems, and Information and Technical Services. Assets of the business segments exclude general corporate assets, which principally consist of cash, deferred tax assets, certain plant, property, and equipment, and certain other assets.
C4ISR Electronics and Systems
This segment provides communications, sensing and surveillance, space and advanced engineering equipment and systems for government and commercial customers around the world.

Page | 18


Information and Technical Services

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(In millions, except per share amounts, unless otherwise stated)
You should read the following discussion of our results of operations and financial condition together with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, as well as the audited Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 , which provides additional information regarding the Company, our products and services, industry outlook and forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about our industry, business and future financial results. Our actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward looking statements.
OVERVIEW
Exelis is a leader in Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) related products and systems and information and technical services, which it supplies to military, government and commercial customers in the United States and globally. Exelis provides mission-critical systems in the areas of networked communications, sensing and surveillance, electronic warfare, navigation, air traffic solutions and information systems, with growing positions in cyber-security, composite aerostructures, logistics and technical services. The Company’s customers include the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), including the U.S. Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force, and its prime contractors, U.S. Government intelligence agencies, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), allied foreign governments and domestic and foreign commercial customers. As a prime contractor, subcontractor, or preferred supplier, Exelis participates in many high priority defense and non-defense programs in the United States. Exelis conducts most of its business with the U.S. Government, principally the DoD.
Our business is reported in two segments: C4ISR Electronics and Systems, and Information and Technical Services. Our C4ISR Electronics and Systems segment provides engineered electronic systems and equipment, including force protection, electronic warfare systems, reconnaissance and surveillance systems, and integrated structures. Our Information and Technical Services segment is a provider of logistics, infrastructure, and sustainment support, while also providing a diverse set of technical services.
Economic Opportunities, Challenges, and Risks
The United States continues to face significant economic and fiscal challenges, including slow GDP growth, high unemployment and persistent U.S. federal government budget deficits. Concerns over fiscal deficits and the national debt continue to drive political debate, while current budget resolutions provide only short-term clarity on defense and other federal spending, making longer-term funding targets and priorities unclear.
The uncertainty surrounding fiscal year 2013 federal government spending ended with the enactment of a full year Continuing Resolution and several appropriations bills as part of the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013 (the Appropriations Act). This action came following the passage of a December 2012 Taxpayer Relief Act, with an estimated $620 billion in new tax revenue, and the triggering of automatic budget cuts, "Sequestration," under the Budget Control Act of 2011 on March 1, 2013. Sequestration requires a reduction in anticipated fiscal year 2013 federal government spending of $85 billion. The Appropriations Act gave full year enacted appropriations for five of the twelve federal appropriations measures. Two of those five full year appropriations bills, which include the defense appropriations bill, contain most of the programs where Exelis is under contract or competing for additional business. The appropriations bills result in line by line program specific funding subject to additional Sequestration reductions. The Sequestration reduction required for fiscal year 2013 for defense is approximately $43 billion.

Page | 20


The full year Sequestration target for fiscal year 2014 is $109 billion with 50% of that coming from discretionary defense programs and accounts. Without a repeal of Sequestration, we believe a potential scenario is that fiscal year 2014 appropriations bills may be enacted in the months following the September 30, 2013 budget deadline with the discretionary top line spending levels continuing to be subject to the automatic second year Sequestration reductions.
Companies which derive substantial revenues from federal contracting will benefit from a comprehensive agreement which implements fundamental multi-year changes that would prevent Sequestration from continuing. The debate over how and when a solution may be reached over the as-yet unresolved Sequestration matter remains a significant issue for the defense industry.
We believe that spending on recapitalization, modernization and maintenance of defense and security assets will continue despite possible reductions to some defense programs in which we participate or for which we expect to compete. We expect ongoing DoD emphasis to be placed on our areas of strength, such as intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and data analytics, critical network development and operation, electronic warfare, precision navigation and timing, and cyber solutions. However, uncertainty related to potential changes in appropriations and strategic priorities could materially impact our business.
The information provided above does not represent a complete list of known trends and uncertainties that could impact our business in either the near or long-term. It should, however, be considered along with the risk factors identified in Part 1, Item 1A under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and our disclosure under the caption “Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements” at the end of this section.
Executive Summary
Exelis reported revenue of $1.3 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 , a decrease of 9% compared to the corresponding period in 2012 . The decrease in revenue was driven by revenue declines of 16% in our C4ISR Electronics and Systems segment primarily due to lower demand for Night Vision products and counter-IED jammer products. Revenue also declined 3% within our Information and Technical Services segment primarily due to lower activity on our Middle East programs.
Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $127 , reflecting a decrease of $18 or 12% compared to the corresponding prior year period primarily due to lower revenue and higher restructuring charges. Overall, operating margin decreased quarter-over-quarter to 10.2% from 10.5% primarily due to higher restructuring charges.
Further details related to the quarter are contained in the Discussion of Financial Results section.
Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures
Management reviews key performance indicators including revenue, segment operating income and margins, orders growth, and backlog, among others metrics on a regular basis. In addition, we consider certain additional measures to be useful to management and investors evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented, and provide a tool for evaluating our ongoing operations, liquidity and management of assets. This information can assist investors in assessing our financial performance and measures our ability to generate capital for deployment among competing strategic alternatives and initiatives, including, but not limited to, acquisitions and debt repayment. These metrics, however, are not measures of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and should not be considered a substitute for revenue, operating income, income from continuing operations, or net cash from continuing operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. We consider the following non-GAAP measure, which may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, to be a key performance indicator:
“Adjusted net income” defined as net income, adjusted to exclude items that include, but are not limited to significant charges or credits that impact current results, but are not related to our ongoing operations, unusual and infrequent non-operating items and non-operating tax settlements or adjustments. A reconciliation of adjusted net income is provided below.

Revenue from our C4ISR Electronics and Systems segment decreased $102 and $256 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively, as compared with the same periods in 2012 . The decrease in revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to volume declines in Night Vision products of approximately $60 and $103, respectively, and counter-IED jammer products, including CREW related products and other counter-IED systems, of approximately $54 and $86, respectively. Additionally, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, revenue decreased on our Worldview-3 satellite imaging program by approximately $23 and $34, respectively, as this program nears completion. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, revenue also decreased due to lower volume in Integrated Defensive Electronic Countermeasures (IDECM) products for military aircraft of approximately $29. The decrease in revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was partially offset by higher revenue on our Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio Systems (SINCGARS) products of approximately $19 and our Advance Integrated Defensive Electronic Warfare Suite (AIDEWS) products for international military aircraft of approximately $14, respectively.

Revenue from our Information and Technical Services segment decreased $26 and $108 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively, as compared with the same periods in 2012 . The decrease in revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to lower activity on our Middle East programs of approximately $27 and $49, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 , revenue also decreased due to lower activity on our Total Army Communications for Southwest Asia, Central Asia and Africa (TACSWACAA) contract of approximately $28 and our Advanced Information Systems programs of approximately $18. The decrease in revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was partially offset by higher revenue on our Automated Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) contract of approximately $6 and $14, respectively.

Cost of Product and Service Revenue
The decrease in cost of product revenue of $53 or 12.2% and $157 or 17.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2012 was primarily due to volume declines within our C4ISR Electronics and Systems segment. The cost of product revenue as a percentage of product revenue increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2012 primarily due to a net sales mix of lower margin products.
The decrease in cost of service revenue of $60 or 9.2% and $157 or 11.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2012 was primarily due to productivity improvements and lower activity, respectively, within our Information and Technical Services segment. The cost of service revenue as a percentage of service revenue decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2012 primarily due to productivity improvements that decreased the cost of service revenue and contract pricing adjustments, including improved incentive and award fees and contract modifications, that increased revenue on several contracts within our Air Traffic Management, Afghanistan and Middle East program areas.
Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) Expenses
SG&A expenses as a percent of total revenue were 9.8% and 9.7% for three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively, compared to 9.4% during the same periods in 2012 . The increase in SG&A expenses as a percent of total revenue as compared to the same periods in 2012 was due to lower revenue, partially offset by lower SG&A expenses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , SG&A expenses decreased as compared to the same periods in 2012 primarily due to cost reductions resulting from prior year restructuring actions in our C4ISR Electronics and Systems segment and other cost saving initiatives, partially offset by higher net periodic benefit costs of $10 and $24 , respectively.

Page | 23


Research and Development (R&D) Expenses
The decrease in R&D expenses of $1 or 6.3% and $2 or 6.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2012 was not significant.
Restructuring Charges, Net
The increase in restructuring charges, net, of $ 12 and $ 60 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2012 was primarily due to a restructuring action started in the first quarter of 2013 to reduce the size of our workforce and consolidate our facilities footprint to align our cost structure more closely to customer and market conditions, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2013 . Through voluntary and involuntary employee reductions, we are eliminating approximately 1,100 positions. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we expect to incur aggregate restructuring charges in the range of $70 to $80 related to this action. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , charges incurred under this action primarily related to employee severance, and to a lesser extent, lease cancellation and other costs associated with the consolidation of certain facilities.

Operating income at our C4ISR Electronics and Systems segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased $46 or 53.5% and $118 or 66.7% , respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2012 . Operating income as a percentage of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was 7.7% and 5.8% , respectively, as compared to 13.9% for the same periods in 2012 . The decrease in operating margin was primarily due to higher cost of product revenue as a percentage of product revenue and higher restructuring charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods in 2012 .
Operating income at our Information and Technical Services segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 increased $28 or 47.5% and $36 or 34.0% , respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2012 . Operating income as a percentage of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was 11.9% and 10.0% , respectively, as compared to 7.8% and 6.9% , respectively, for the same periods in 2012 . The increase in operating margin was primarily due to lower cost of service revenue as a percentage of service revenue, partially offset by higher restructuring charges, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods in 2012 .
During the performance of long-term sale contracts, estimated final contract prices and costs are reviewed periodically and revisions are made as required and recorded in income in the period in which they are determined. Changes in estimated revenues, cost of revenue and the related effect to operating income are recognized using a cumulative catch-up adjustment which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a contract’s percent complete. Net favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments related to prior periods increased operating income by approximately $39 and $59 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively, and by approximately $47 and $60 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 . Productivity improvements and contract pricing adjustments primarily contributed to the net favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments in the current three and six month periods.

Impact to Operating Income from Defined Benefit Plan Expense
The Company recorded net periodic benefit costs of $22 and $48 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively, as compared to $12 and $24 in the same periods in 2012 . The increase in net periodic benefit costs was primarily attributable to the effect of a lower expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and higher amortization of net actuarial losses, partially offset by lower interest costs due to a decrease in the discount rate, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods in 2012 .
During the second quarter of 2013, the U.S. Salaried Retirement Plan (U.S. SRP) and related Excess Pension Plans were amended to freeze all future benefit accruals effective December 31, 2016. As a result, the assets and liabilities of the U.S. SRP and related plans were re-measured as of May 31, 2013. The re-measurement will reduce net periodic benefit costs by approximately $14 in 2013 primarily due to lower service costs.
Interest Expense, Net
The Company recorded interest expense, net, of $10 and $18 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, as compared to $11 and $20 , respectively, during the same periods in 2012 . Interest expense, net, is primarily related to our senior notes.
Other Expense (Income), Net
The Company recorded other income, net, of $3 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $1 in the same period in 2012. The Company recorded other income, net, of $1 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to other expense, net, of $7 , during the same period in 2012 . The period-over-period changes were not significant.
Income Tax Expense
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , the Company recorded income tax provisions of $42 and $62 , respectively, which represents effective tax rates of 35.0% and 33.7% , respectively, as compared to $49 or 36.3% and $100 or 39.1% , respectively, during the same prior year periods. The decrease in the 2013 quarterly and year-to-date effective income tax rates as compared to the same periods in 2012 was primarily due to an increase in the U.S. manufacturing deduction. The decrease in the 2013 year-to-date effective income tax rate was also due to the favorable impact of a discrete item related to the renewal of the 2012 federal research and development tax credit. The 2012 year-to-date effective income tax rate also included the unfavorable impact of nondeductible separation costs.
Backlog
Total backlog includes both funded backlog (firm orders for which funding is contractually obligated by the customer) and unfunded backlog (firm orders for which funding is not currently contractually obligated by the customer) and represents firm orders and potential options on multi-year contracts, excluding potential orders under indefinite delivery / indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts. Backlog is converted into revenue as work is performed or deliveries are made. The level of order activity related to defense programs can be affected by the timing of government funding authorizations and project evaluation cycles. Year-over-year comparisons could, at times, be impacted by these factors, among others.
Funded orders received increased $0.1 billion, to $2.5 billion, during the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012 , primarily due to higher product orders for Electronic Warfare Systems, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Systems and composite aerostructure products within our C4ISR Electronics and Systems segment. At June 30, 2013 , total backlog was $9.4 billion compared to $ 9.5 billion at December 31, 2012 . The decrease in total backlog relates primarily to lower backlog for previously awarded Advanced Information Systems programs within our Information and Technical Services segment.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
We expect to fund our ongoing working capital, capital expenditures, strategic investments, and financing requirements through cash flows from operations, cash on hand and access to capital markets. If our cash flows from operations are less than we expect, we may need to access the short or long-term capital markets. We believe our $600 credit facility and commercial paper program will permit us to finance our operations on acceptable terms and conditions.
Our access to, and the availability of, financing on acceptable terms and conditions in the future will be impacted by many factors, including: (i) our credit ratings or absence of a credit rating, (ii) the liquidity of the overall capital markets, and (iii) the current state of the economy. We cannot assure that such financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or that such financing will be available at all.
A significant portion of our cash is held by our foreign subsidiaries. We manage our cash requirements considering available funds among our subsidiaries and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. We continue to look for opportunities to access cash balances in excess of local operating requirements to meet liquidity needs in a cost-efficient manner.
Funding of Pension Plans
Funding requirements under applicable laws and regulations are a major consideration in making contributions to our U.S. pension plans. While the Company has significant discretion in making voluntary contributions, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 and further amended by the Worker, Retiree, and Employer Recovery Act of 2008, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act and applicable Internal Revenue Code regulations, mandate minimum funding thresholds. Failure to satisfy the minimum funding thresholds could result in restrictions on our ability to amend the plan or make benefit payments. With respect to U.S. qualified pension plans, we intend to contribute annually not less than the required minimum funding thresholds.
At December 31, 2012, our defined benefit pension plans were underfunded by $2.0 billion. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 , we made total contributions of $62 to our qualified pension plans. We currently anticipate making additional contributions to our qualified pension plans in the range of $80 to $90 during the remainder of 2013 .
Future required contributions will depend primarily on the actual annual return on assets and the discount rate used to measure the benefit obligation at the end of each year. Depending on these factors, and the resulting funded status of our pension plans, the level of future statutory minimum contributions could be material.
Dividends
Our Board of Directors will review and approve the declaration and distribution of any future dividends based on an analysis of many factors, including our operating performance and outlook, financial condition, available liquidity, and expected future requirements for cash and capital resources. Moreover, if we determine to pay any dividend in the future, there can be no assurance that we will continue to pay such dividends.

Page | 26


On May 8, 2013 , the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share, payable on July 1, 2013 to shareholders of record on May 24, 2013 . During the six months ended June 30, 2013 , we declared two quarterly dividends totaling $39 or $0.21 per share.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $154 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012 , primarily due to a $200 decrease in defined benefit plans payments, changes in receivables of $69, partially offset by changes in deferred taxes of $123. Payments to our defined benefit plans decreased due to lower required minimum funding thresholds resulting from provisions of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased $27 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012 , primarily due to lower capital expenditures of $14 and lower net cash paid for acquisitions of $8.
Net cash used in financing activities increased $254 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012 , primarily due to net proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper of $257 during the first six months of 2012 that did not reoccur during the same period in 2013 . Cash on hand at December 31, 2012 was adequate to fund operating and investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2013 .
Capital Resources
At June 30, 2013 , the Company held cash and cash equivalents of $259 , which included $141 held by foreign subsidiaries, and had a $600 revolving credit facility which expires in October 2015. There were no borrowings outstanding under the credit facility and there was no commercial paper outstanding under our commercial paper program as of June 30, 2013 .
Borrowings under the credit facility would be unsecured and bear interest at rates based, at our option, on the Eurodollar rate or a bank defined alternative base rate. Each bank’s obligation to make loans under the credit facility is subject to, among other things, our compliance with various representations, warranties and covenants.
We expect to continue to issue commercial paper periodically. The Company’s commercial paper program generally enables the Company to borrow short-term funds at competitive rates. The commercial paper program is fully supported by available borrowing capacity under our credit facility. As with all other financing programs, our access to the commercial paper market will be impacted by many factors, including our credit ratings, liquidity of the capital markets, and state of the economy. As such, we cannot assure that we will have continued access to the commercial paper market or that the terms of the commercial paper will be acceptable to us.
We have outstanding long-term debt of $250 of 4.25% senior notes due in 2016 and $400 of 5.55% senior notes due in 2021. Interest on the senior notes is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year. The senior notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The senior notes have covenants that restrict our ability to, subject to exceptions, incur indebtedness secured by liens or engage in sale and leaseback transactions and the senior notes are subject to customary events of default.

The credit facility, commercial paper and senior notes are discussed further in Note 11, “Debt,” in the notes to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations from those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 .
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At June 30, 2013 , we had no significant off-balance sheet arrangements other than operating leases and certain indemnifications. We do not have a liability recorded for our historic indemnifications and are not aware of any claims or other information that we believe would give rise to material payments under such indemnities. We are not aware of any claims or other circumstances that would give rise to material payments to ITT or Xylem Inc. under the indemnities that we provide to them pursuant to various separation arrangements entered into in connection with the Spin-off.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are revised as additional information becomes available. Management believes that the accounting estimates employed and the resulting balances are reasonable; however, actual results in these areas could differ from management’s estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies, estimates and judgments as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 .

Whenever used, words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “target,” "may," "could," "outlook" and other terms of similar meaning are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are uncertain and to some extent unpredictable, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied from, such forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s historical experience and our present expectations or projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 , and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of June 30, 2013 . Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2013 , the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act are (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management to allow their timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We have evaluated the changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and concluded that no change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or is likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to the operation of our businesses. Some of these proceedings seek remedies relating to environmental matters, personal injury claims, employment and pension matters, and commercial or contractual disputes, sometimes related to acquisitions or divestitures.
Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information, including our assessment of the merits of the particular claim, we do not expect that any asserted or unasserted legal claims or proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our cash flow, results of operations, or financial condition.
See Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

These risks and uncertainties have the potential to materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, projected results, and future prospects.

EXELIS EXCESS PENSION PLAN IA

Effective as of July 1, 1975
As Amended and Restated as of October 31, 2011






EXELIS EXCESS PENSION PLAN IA
The ITT Excess Benefit Plan I (the “Plan”) was effective as of July 1, 1975. The purpose of the Plan was to provide those employees participating in the Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees of ITT Corporation or any successor thereto (the “Retirement Plan”) benefits which would have been payable under the Retirement Plan but for the limitations imposed on qualified plans by Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
Effective as of October 7, 1986, the ITT Select Management Plan I was authorized by the Board of Directors of ITT Corporation (the “Corporation”) to pay supplemental benefits to certain select management or highly compensated employees who have qualified for benefits under the Retirement Plan. As of December 19, 1995, the ITT Select Management Plan I was merged into the ITT Excess Benefit Plan I and the surviving Plan was renamed the ITT Industries Excess Pension Plan I. In addition, as of December 19, 1995, the Plan was amended to transfer the liabilities under the ITT Industries Excess Pension Plan I attributable to all participants thereunder other than former or current Presidents, Chairmen, Chief Executive Officers, Chief Operating Officers or Executive Vice Presidents of ITT Industries, Inc. into the ITT Industries Excess Pension Plan II.
As of January 1, 1996, the Plan was amended to provide solely to individuals who are designated Eligible Employees (as defined herein) under the Plan on and after December 19, 1995 benefits which would have been payable on their behalf under the Retirement Plan but for the limitations on benefits imposed by Sections 415 and 401(a)(17) of the Code, to transfer all liabilities not attributable to such excess benefits into the ITT Industries Excess Pension Plan IB (which was authorized to be effective as of January 1, 1996) and to rename the Plan, as amended, the ITT Industries Excess Pension Plan IA. The Plan was amended, effective as of January 1, 2000, to reflect the changes in the Retirement Plan formula.
Effective as of July 13, 2004, the Plan was amended and restated to make certain administrative changes and to unify the definition of Acceleration Event (as defined herein) with other employee benefit plans of the Corporation. Effective as of July 13, 2004, the Plan was further amended to eliminate approval by the Compensation and Personnel Committee of the Board of Directors for lump-sum payments made on or after September 1, 2004, and to revise the interest rate assumption utilized to calculate the amount of an elective lump-sum payment available upon retirement to a Participant who becomes an Eligible Employee after January 1, 2005. Effective as of July 1, 2006, the Plan’s name was revised to the ITT Excess Pension Plan IA.
Effective as of January 1, 2008, the Plan was amended to freeze participation and to eliminate the election of lump-sum distribution after December 31, 2008. Effective as of December 31, 2008, the Plan was amended and restated to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
The benefits accrued and vested under the provisions of the Plan by a Participant (as defined herein) who terminated employment with the Corporation and all its Associated Companies (as defined herein) prior to January 1, 2005, shall be subject to the provisions of the ITT Industries Excess Pension Plan IA as in effect on October 3, 2004, (attached hereto as Appendix B and made a part thereof). In addition, with respect to a Participant who was employed by the Corporation or one of

i


its Associated Companies on January 1, 2005, the portion of his benefit payable under the provisions of this Plan equal to his Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit (as defined herein) shall be subject to the provisions of the ITT Industries Excess Pension Plan IA as in effect on October 3, 2004, without regard to any amendments after October 3, 2004, which would constitute a material modification for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, unless otherwise provided in Appendix A.
Effective as of October 31, 2011, ITT Corporation restructured into three separate, publicly-traded companies named ITT Corporation, Exelis Inc., and Xylem Inc. In connection with the restructuring, the Plan is being amended, effective as of October 31, 2011, to reflect the restructuring and transfer of the Plan sponsorship to Exelis Inc. When used hereinafter, the term Corporation shall collectively include Exelis Inc. and, for the period prior to October 31, 2011, ITT Corporation.
Effective as of October 31, 2011, the Plan is being renamed the Exelis Excess Pension Plan IA. When used hereinafter, the term Plan shall collectively include the Exelis Excess Pension Plan IA and, for the period prior to October 31, 2011, the ITT Excess Benefit Plan IA and prior versions thereof. Effective December 31, 2016, the Plan is amended to cease all future accruals.
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 or highly compensated employees under Title I of ERISA, shall be paid out of the general assets of the Corporation. The Corporation may establish a trust in order to aid it in providing benefits due under the Plan.

the monthly retirement allowance or vested benefit determined as of such Participant’s Termination of Employment which would have been payable to the Participant under Section 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05 or 4.06 of the Retirement Plan, whichever is applicable, assuming such benefit commences on the date set forth in Section 2.04(a)(i), (ii) or (iv) of this Plan, whichever is applicable, and
(1)
prior to the application of any offset required pursuant to Section 4.10 or to an applicable Appendix of the Retirement Plan with regard to benefits payable under any other Company Pension Plan;

with regard to the provisions contained in Section 415 of the Code relating to maximum limitation benefits as incorporated into the Retirement Plan; and
(3)
with regard to the annual limitation on Compensation contained in Section 401(a)(17) of the Code, as incorporated into the Retirement Plan.
(b)
Except as otherwise provided below, if, after a Participant’s Annuity Starting Date, changes to the Code or ERISA permit the Retirement Plan to provide for payment of a Participant’s monthly retirement allowance or vested benefit in an amount greater than that permissible at that particular Annuity Starting Date, the Participant’s monthly benefit under this Plan shall be reduced by the portion of his retirement allowance or vested benefit actually paid from the Retirement Plan. This provision shall not be applicable to any portion of a Participant’s Supplemental Benefit received in the form of a lump-sum payment.
(c)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.01 or Section 2.02(a), a Participant who on October 31, 2011, continued in employment with ITT Corporation or commenced employment with Xylem Inc. shall be treated for purposes of determining his Supplemental Benefit as though he earns Eligibility Service (as defined in the Retirement Plan) for Plan purposes until the earlier of October 31, 2016, the date such Participant terminates employment with ITT Corporation or Xylem Inc., the date on which the benefits under the Retirement Plan attributable to the TPP Formula commence, the date of his death or a Change in Control of ITT Corporation or Xylem Inc., as the case may be.
(d)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.01 or 2.01(a), effective as of October 31, 2011, with respect to a Participant who on October 31, 2011, continued in employment with ITT Corporation or commenced employment with Xylem Inc.,

5


the interest rate credited per annum on the Pension Equity Plan (“PEP”) (as defined in Section 4.01(c) of the Retirement Plan) lump-sum value of the portion of a Participant’s Supplemental Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to the PEP formula during the period beginning on October 31, 2011 and ending on the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date shall be the greater of the 10-year Treasury rate as in effect on December 31 of the prior calendar year or 3.25 percent.
(e)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.01 or this Section 2.02, effective December 31, 2016, Benefit Service (as defined under the Retirement Plan) and Compensation used to determine a Participant’s Supplemental Benefits under this Plan shall be frozen.

Vesting
Effective October 31, 2011, each Participant is vested in, and has a nonforfeitable right to, the benefit payable under this Article II.
2.04
Payment of Benefits
(a)
Timing of Payment
(i)
Subject to the provisions of clause (iii) below, the portion of any Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to the TPP formula, to the extent vested pursuant to Section 2.03, shall commence as of the first day of the month following (1) the Participant’s Termination of Employment or (2) if the Participant is not at least age 50 on such date of Termination of Employment and his age and Eligibility Service as of such date does not equal 80 or more, the Participant’s attainment of age 55, if later.
(ii)
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of clause (i) above and subject to the provisions of clause (iii) below, the portion of any Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to the PEP formula, to the extent vested pursuant to Section 2.03, shall commence as of the first day of the month following the Participant’s Termination of Employment.
(iii)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the actual payment of a 409A Supplemental Benefit payable under Section 2.02 due to the Participant’s Termination of Employment for reasons other than death or Disability shall not commence prior to the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s Termination of Employment. Any payment due the Participant which he would have otherwise received under Section 2.02 during the six-month period immediately following such Participant’s Termination of Employment shall be accumulated, with interest, at the IRS Interest Rate (as defined in the Retirement Plan) in accordance with procedures

6


established by the Committee. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this clause (iii) shall not apply to a 409A Supplemental Benefit payable under (1) Section 2.04(c) due to the death of the Participant or (2) Section 2.04(d) due to the Participant’s Disability.
(iv)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Participant who incurred a Termination of Employment prior to January 1, 2009, has not commenced payment of his 409A Supplemental Benefit as of January 1, 2009, such Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit shall commence as of January 1, 2009, or, if later, the date specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, whichever is applicable.
(v)
A Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit shall commence in accordance with the provisions of the Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004, modified as set forth in Appendix A and without regard to any amendments after October 3, 2004, which would constitute a material modification for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
(b)
Form of Benefit
(i)
Unless a Participant has a valid election under clause (ii) or (iii) below in effect, the portion of the Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit determined under Section 2.02 attributable to the TPP formula shall be paid in the form of a single life annuity for the life of the Participant, if the Participant is not married on his Annuity Starting Date, or in the form of a 50% joint & survivor annuity, if the Participant is married (or has a Registered Domestic Partner) on his Annuity Starting Date.
(ii)
Subject to the provisions of clause (iv) below, a Participant may elect to convert his 409A Supplemental Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to the TPP formula into an optional annuity of equivalent actuarial value available to that Participant under the provisions of Section 4.07(b) of the Retirement Plan as of his Annuity Starting Date, provided said optional annuity satisfies the definition of “life annuity” as provided in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-(2)(b)(2)(ii) and any further guidance thereto. Such equivalent actuarial value shall be based on the applicable factors set forth in Appendix A of the Retirement Plan.
(iii)
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above, a Participant may, subject to the timing limitations and other restrictions as shall be prescribed by the Committee, elect, by written notice received by the Committee, to receive the portion of his entire Supplemental Benefit payable under this Plan attributable to the TPP formula in the form of a single lump-sum payment if upon his Termination of Employment he retires under the provisions of the Retirement Plan at his Postponed Retirement Date, Normal Retirement Date, Standard Early Retirement Date or Special

7


Early Retirement Date (as such terms are defined under the Retirement Plan). Such election must have been completed and filed with the Plan Committee no later than December 31, 2008, and became irrevocable as of January 1, 2009. However, if the Participant dies after his Early, Normal or Postponed Retirement Date but prior to receiving his lump-sum payment, the payment shall be made to the Participant’s Beneficiary with the calculation of such payment based on the assumption that payment had been made immediately preceding the Participant’s date of death. For avoidance of doubt, if a Participant has not satisfied the eligibility requirements to retire under the Retirement Plan with an early, normal or postponed retirement allowance upon his Termination of Employment, the election of a lump-sum payment under the provisions of the clause (iii) shall not be effective.
Such lump-sum payment shall be calculated on an actuarial equivalent basis using the interest rate assumption for immediate annuities used by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) for valuing benefits for single employer plans as published by the PBGC for the month in which the payment is effective and the mortality table utilized as of such date under the provisions of the Retirement Plan to calculate the amount of a small lump-sum cashout. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, with respect to a Participant who becomes an Eligible Employee after January 1, 2005, such lump-sum payment shall be calculated on an actuarial equivalent basis using the IRS Interest Rate as published in the fourth month prior to the month following the month in which the Participant’s Termination of Employment occurs and the mortality table utilized as of such date under the provisions of the Retirement Plan to calculate the amount of a small lump-sum cashout. The calculation of a lump-sum payment under this clause (iii) shall be based on the Participant’s benefit determined pursuant to Section 2.02 attributable to the TPP formula portion of such benefit as if it were paid in the form of a single life annuity to the Participant. The calculation of a lump-sum payment hereunder shall be made without regard to the possibility of any future changes after the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date in the amount of benefits payable under the Retirement Plan because of future changes in the limitations referred to in Section 2.02. This lump-sum payment plus any payment made pursuant to the provisions of clause (v) below represents a complete settlement of all 409A Supplemental Benefits due on the Participant’s behalf under the Plan.
(iv)
Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, a Participant’s election to receive his 409A Supplemental Benefit attributable to the TPP formula in an optional annuity form of payment as described in clause (ii) above shall be effective as of the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date applicable to that portion of his 409A Supplemental Benefit, provided the Participant makes and submits to the

8


Committee in the manner prescribed by the Committee, his election of such optional annuity form prior to such applicable Annuity Starting Date. Unless otherwise provided under clause (iii) above, a Participant who fails to elect an optional annuity form of benefit applicable to the TPP formula portion of his 409A Supplemental Benefit in a timely manner shall receive such benefit in accordance with the provisions of clause (i) above.
(v)
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(b), the portion of a Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to the PEP formula shall be payable in the form of a single lump-sum payment. Such lump-sum payment shall be calculated on the same basis as provided in Section 4.07(b)(v) of the Retirement Plan except as otherwise provided in Section 2.02(d).
(vi)
The portion of the Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to the TPP formula shall commence and the form of payment of such benefit shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004, modified as set forth in Appendix A and without regard to any Plan amendments after that date which would constitute a material modification for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, unless a Participant has a valid election under clause (iii) above in effect as of his date of Termination of Employment. The portion of the Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to the PEP formula shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of the Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004, modified as set forth in Appendix A and without regard to any amendments after October 3, 2004, which would constitute a material modification for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
(c)
Death Prior to a Participant’s Annuity Starting Date
(i)
If a Participant entitled to a vested benefit under the Retirement Plan dies (1) before meeting the eligibility requirements for an Automatic Pre-Retirement Survivor’s Benefit under Section 4.08(b) of the Retirement Plan and while in active service with the Company or any Associated Company or while Disabled but before his Annuity Starting Date, or (2) after Termination of Employment with entitlement to a vested benefit hereunder but prior to his Annuity Starting Date, the Participant’s spouse (or Registered Domestic Partner) shall receive a monthly payment for life equal to the monthly income which would have been payable to such spouse (or Registered Domestic Partner) under Section 4.08(a) of the Retirement Plan based on the hypothetical benefit attributable to his Supplemental Benefit as calculated under Section 2.02 hereof assuming payments commence as of the first day of the month following the Participant’s date of death, or attainment of age 55, if later. The portion of such survivor benefit attributable

9


to the Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit shall commence as of the first day of the month following the later of the Participant’s date of death, or the Participant’s attainment of age 55 (or in the event clause (iv) is applicable, the date specified in clause (iv)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of any benefit payable under this clause (i) attributable to the PEP formula portion of the benefit which would have been payable to the spouse (or Registered Domestic Partner) based on the hypothetical 409A Supplemental Benefit as calculated under Section 2.02 shall be determined assuming that portion of the survivor benefit commences as of the first day of the month following the Participant’s date of death (or the date specified in clause (iv), if later) and such benefit shall be payable in the form of a single lump-sum payment as of the first day of the month following the Participant’s date of death. This lump-sum payment shall be calculated on the same basis as provided in Section 4.08(a)(iii) of the Retirement Plan using the IRS Mortality Table (as defined in the Retirement Plan) and IRS Interest Rate. Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, the portion of any survivor benefit payable under this clause (i) attributable to the Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of the Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004, modified as set forth in Appendix A, and without regard to any amendments after October 3, 2004, which would constitute a material modification for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
(ii)
Except as otherwise provided below or in clause (iii) of this Section 2.04(c), in the event a Participant who has satisfied the eligibility requirements for the Automatic Pre-Retirement Survivor’s Benefit under Section 4.08(b) of the Retirement Plan, dies (1) while in active service with the Company or any Associated Company or (2) after his Termination of Employment or the date he becomes Disabled, if earlier, but prior to his Annuity Starting Date, the Participant’s Beneficiary, if any, shall receive a monthly payment for the life of the Beneficiary equal to the monthly income which would have been payable to such Beneficiary under Section 4.08(b) of the Retirement Plan based on the hypothetical retirement benefit attributable to his Supplemental Benefit as calculated under Section 2.02 hereof assuming payments commence on the first day of the month following the Participant’s death (or the date specified in clause (iv), if later). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of any benefit payable under this clause (ii) attributable to the PEP formula portion of the benefit which would have been payable to the Beneficiary based on the hypothetical 409A Supplemental Benefit as calculated under Section 2.02 hereof shall be payable in the form of a single lump-sum payment. This lump-sum payment shall be calculated on the same basis as provided in Section 4.08(b)(iii) of the Retirement Plan except as otherwise provided in Section 2.02(d). The portion of any benefit payable under this clause (ii) attributable to a Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit as calculated under Section 2.02

10


hereof shall commence on the first day of the month following the Participant’s death.
The portion of such survivor benefit payable under this clause (ii) of paragraph (c) attributable to the Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit shall commence in accordance with the provisions of the Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004, modified as set forth in Appendix A, and without regard to any amendments after October 3, 2004, which would constitute a material modification for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
(iii)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Participant, who has satisfied the eligibility requirements to retire under the Retirement Plan with an early, normal or postponed retirement allowance, has filed a valid election to receive a lump-sum payment of benefits under the provisions of Section 2.04(b)(iii), dies on or after age 55 and prior to his Annuity Starting Date, the Beneficiary of such Participant shall receive a single lump-sum amount determined as follows:
(A)
In the event of the Participant’s death (i) prior to his Termination of Employment or (ii) after he becomes Disabled but prior to his Annuity Starting Date, the lump-sum payment shall be equal to the value of the Participant’s benefit attributable to his Supplemental Benefit, if any, accrued to his date of death as determined under the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof.
(B)
In the event of any other Participant’s death after his Termination of Employment and prior to his Annuity Starting Date, the lump-sum payment shall be equal to the value of the Participant’s Supplemental Benefit accrued to the Participant’s Termination of Employment as determined under the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof.
The portion of the lump-sum payment under this clause (iii) attributable to the PEP formula portion of his 409A Supplemental Benefit, if any, shall be calculated on the same basis as provided in Section 4.08(b)(iii) of the Retirement Plan except as otherwise provided in Section 2.02(d). The portion of the lump-sum payment under this clause (iii) attributable to the TPP formula portion of the Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit shall be (1) based on the Participant’s Plan benefit attributable to the TPP formula portion as if it were paid in the form of a single life annuity to the Participant and (2) calculated on an actuarial equivalent basis using the interest rate assumption for immediate annuities used by the PBGC for valuing benefits for single employer plans as published by the PBGC for the month following the Participant’s date of Termination of Employment or, if earlier, the date of his death and the mortality table utilized as of such date under the provisions of the Retirement Plan to calculate the amount of a small lump-sum cashout. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, with respect to a

11


Participant who becomes an Eligible Employee after January 1, 2005, the lump-sum payment in the preceding sentence shall be calculated on an actuarial equivalent basis using the IRS Interest Rate as published in the fourth month prior to the month in which the Participant’s Termination of Employment or, if earlier, date of death occurs and the mortality table utilized as of such date under the provisions of the Retirement Plan to calculate the amount of a small lump-sum cashout. The calculation of a lump-sum payment hereunder shall be made without regard to the possibility of any future changes after the Participant’s death in the amount of benefits payable under the Retirement Plan because of future changes in the limitations referred to in Section 2.02.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of such survivor benefit attributable to the Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of the Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004, modified as set forth in Appendix A, and without regard to any Plan amendments after October 3, 2004, which would constitute a material modification for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a total lump-sum payment under this clause (iii) shall be made to the Participant’s Beneficiary only if the Participant has filed an election to receive a lump-sum payment of any benefits under the provisions of Section 2.04(a)(iii) in accordance with the timing limitations and other restrictions prescribed by the Committee. Payment shall be made to the Participant’s Beneficiary as soon as practicable after the Participant’s date of death. The lump-sum payment under this clause (iii) represents a complete settlement of all benefits due the Beneficiary on the Participant’s behalf under the Plan.
(iv)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the survivor benefit payable under this Section 2.04(c) to the spouse or Beneficiary of a Participant who died prior to January 1, 2009, has not commenced as of January 1, 2009, such survivor benefit shall commence as of January 1, 2009, or, if later, the date specified in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above, whichever is applicable.
(d)
Disability prior to Termination of Employment
(i)
Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, in the event a Participant becomes Disabled prior to his Termination of Employment, the Participant shall be entitled to a Disability Supplemental Benefit equal to the amount determined under the provisions of Section 2.02(a) based on his years of Benefit Service, accrued under the Retirement Plan to the date he became Disabled plus the years of Benefit Service, if any, such Participant accrues under the terms of the Retirement Plan after the date he becomes Disabled and prior to the earlier of his attainment of age 65 or December 31, 2016.

12


(ii)
The portion of the Disability Supplemental Benefit determined under the provisions of clause (i) in excess of the Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) above and payments shall commence on the first day of the month following the month in which the Participant attains age 65.
(iii)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of the Disability Supplemental Benefit attributable to the Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of the Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004, modified as set forth in Appendix A, and without regard to any amendments after October 3, 2004, which would constitute a material modification for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
2.05
Payment Upon the Occurrence of a Change in Control
Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, (i) all retired Participants then receiving or then entitled to receive a 409A Supplemental Benefit under the Plan, (ii) all former Participants then receiving or then entitled to receive a 409A Supplemental Benefit hereunder, and (iii) all Participants who are then still in active service shall automatically receive, in a single lump-sum payment, the 409A Supplemental Benefit remaining due as of the Change in Control to any such retired or former Participant or the benefit, if any, accrued by such active Participant up to the Change in Control event and as determined under Section 2.02 hereof. The amount of such lump-sum payment attributable to the PEP formula portion of the Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit payable under this Plan not in payment status as of the occurrence of a Change in Control event shall be calculated on the same basis as provided in Section 4.07(b)(v) of the Retirement Plan using the IRS Mortality Table and IRS Interest Rate determined as if the date the Change in Control event occurs is the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date. The amount of the lump-sum payment attributable to the TPP formula portion of the Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit payable under this Plan shall be calculated on an actuarial equivalent basis using (i) the interest rate assumption used by the PBGC for valuing benefits for single employer plans as published by the PBGC for the month in which such Change in Control event occurs and (ii) the mortality table utilized as of the day immediately preceding the date the Change in Control event occurs under the provisions of the Retirement Plan to calculate the amount of a small lump-sum cashout. The interest rate for immediate annuities will be used, if the Participant has met the eligibility requirements to retire under the Retirement Plan with an early, normal or postponed retirement allowance as of the Change in Control or is then in receipt of monthly payments under this Plan. Otherwise the Plan shall use the interest rate assumption for deferred annuities to the earliest date the Participant could have commenced payment of such benefit or, if it results in a larger lump sum, his Normal Retirement Date (as defined under the Retirement Plan). If the Participant is not in receipt of his monthly 409A Supplemental Benefit payments under this Plan as of the Change in Control, the calculation of a lump-sum payment hereunder of the portion of the Participant’s accrued benefit payable under this Plan attributable to the TPP formula portion shall be based on the Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to such

13


TPP formula as if it were paid in the form of a single life annuity to the Participant commencing on the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date; provided, however, if the Participant has not met the eligibility requirements to retire under the Retirement Plan with an early, normal or postponed retirement allowance, the calculation of such lump-sum payment shall be based on the Participant’s accrued 409A Supplemental Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to such TPP formula as if it were paid in the form of a single life annuity to the Participant commencing on the earliest date he could have commenced payment of such benefit. In no event, however, shall the lump-sum payment determined under the preceding sentence be less than the lump-sum payment based on the Participant’s accrued 409 Supplemental Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to such TPP formula as if it were paid in the form of a single life annuity to the Participant commencing on his Normal Retirement Date. The calculation of a lump-sum payment hereunder shall be made on the basis of the Participant’s age (and Beneficiary’s age, if applicable) at the Change in Control and without regard to the possibility of any future changes after the Change in Control in the amount of benefits payable hereunder because of future changes in the limitations referred to in Section 2.02. The lump-sum payment shall be made within 90 days following the date the Change in Control event occurs. In the event the Participant dies after such Change in Control event occurs but before receiving such payment, the lump-sum payment shall be made to his Beneficiary. This lump-sum payment represents a complete settlement of all benefits on the Participant’s behalf under the Plan.
For avoidance of doubt, upon the occurrence of an Acceleration Event, either prior to after or simultaneously with, the occurrence of a Change in Control, the provisions of Section 2.05 of the Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004, without regard to any amendments after October 3, 2004, which would constitute a material modification for purposes of Section 409A of the Code shall be applicable to a Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit.
2.06
Reemployment of Former Participant or Retired Participant
If a Participant who retired or otherwise terminated employment with the Company and all Associated Companies is reemployed as an employee by the Company or an Associated Company, such reemployment shall have no impact on the payment or timing of payment of any 409A Supplement Benefits earned prior to reemployment.

ARTICLE III.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
3.01
Funding
(f)
All amounts payable in accordance with this Plan shall constitute a general unsecured obligation of the Corporation. Such amounts, as well as any administrative costs relating to the Plan, shall be paid out of the general assets of the Corporation, to the extent not paid from the assets of any trust established pursuant to paragraph (b) below.
(g)
The Corporation may, for administrative reasons, establish a grantor trust for the benefit of Participants in the Plan. The assets placed in said trust shall be held separate and apart from other Corporation funds and shall be used exclusively for the purposes set forth in the Plan and the applicable trust agreement, subject to the following conditions:
(i)
the creation of said trust shall not cause the Plan to be other than “unfunded” for purposes of Title I of ERISA;
(ii)
the Corporation shall be treated as “grantor” of said trust for purposes of Section 677 of the Code; and
(iii)
the agreement of said trust shall provide that its assets may be used upon the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Corporation to satisfy claims of the Company’s general creditors and that the rights of such general creditors are enforceable by them under federal and state law.
(h)
To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured creditor of the Corporation.
3.02
Duration of Benefits
Subject to Section 2.02(e), benefits shall accrue under the Plan on behalf of a Participant only for so long as the provisions of Sections 415 or 401(a)(17) of the Code limit the benefits that are payable under the Retirement Plan.
3.03
Discontinuance and Amendment
The Board of Directors reserves the right to modify, amend, or discontinue in whole or in part, benefit accruals under the Plan at any time. However, no modification, amendment, or discontinuance shall adversely affect the right of any Participant to receive the benefits accrued as of the date of such modification, amendment or discontinuance and after the occurrence of an Acceleration Event, no modification or amendment shall be made to Sections 2.03 or 2.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following any amendment and except

15

3.04
Termination of Plan
The Board of Directors reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time, provided, however, that no termination shall be effective retroactively. As of the effective date of termination of the Plan,
(a)
the benefits of any Participant or Beneficiary whose benefit payments have commenced shall continue to be paid, but only to the extent such benefits are not otherwise payable under the Retirement Plan because of the limitations referred to in Section 2.02; and
(b)
no further benefits shall accrue on behalf of any Participant whose benefits have not commenced, and such Participant and his Beneficiary shall retain the right to benefits hereunder; provided that, on or after the effective date of termination,
(v)
the Participant is vested under the Retirement Plan or pursuant to Section 2.03(b) or (c) above; and
(vi)
such benefits are not at any time otherwise payable under the Retirement Plan because of the limitations imposed by Sections 415 or 401(a)(17) of the Code.
All other provisions of this Plan shall remain in effect.
3.05
Plan Not a Contract of Employment
This Plan is not a contract of employment, and the terms of employment of any Participant shall not be affected in any way by this Plan or related instruments, except as specifically provided therein. The establishment of this 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 Corporation to discharge any person and to treat him without regard to the effect which such treatment might have upon him under this Plan. Each Participant 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.
3.06
Facility of Payment
In the event that the Committee shall find that a Participant is unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident or is a minor or has died, the Committee may, unless claim shall have been made therefore by a duly appointed legal representative, direct that any benefit payment due him, to the extent not payable from a grantor trust, be paid on his behalf to his spouse, a child, a parent or other blood relative, or to a person with whom he resides,

16


and any such payment so made shall be a complete discharge of the liabilities of the Corporation and the Plan therefore.
3.07
Withholding Taxes
The Company and an Associated Company shall have the right to deduct from each payment to be made under the Plan any required withholding taxes.
3.08
Nonalienation
Subject to any applicable law, no benefit under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to do so shall be void, nor shall any such benefit be in any manner liable for or subject to garnishment, attachment, execution or levy, or liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of the person entitled to such benefits.
3.09
Forfeiture for Cause
In the event that a Participant shall at any time be convicted of a crime involving dishonesty or fraud on the part of such Participant in his relationship with the Company or an Associated Company, all benefits that would otherwise be payable to him or to a Beneficiary under the Plan shall be forfeited.

EXELIS EXCESS PENSION PLAN IB
The ITT Industries Excess Pension Plan IB (the “Plan”) was authorized and adopted by the Board of Directors of ITT Industries, Inc. (the “Corporation”) to be effective as of January 1, 1996. The purpose of the Plan is to provide certain supplemental benefits to certain select management or highly compensated employees who qualify for benefits under the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan (the “Retirement Plan”).
Effective as of January 1, 1996, the ITT Industries Excess Pension Plan I was amended (i) to provide solely to individuals who are eligible employees thereunder on and after December 19, 1995, the excess benefits which would have been payable under the Retirement Plan but for the limitations imposed by Sections 415 and 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and (ii) to transfer into the ITT Industries Excess Pension Plan IB all liabilities not attributable to such excess benefits.
The Plan was amended, effective as of January 1, 2000, to reflect the changes in the Retirement Plan formula.
Effective as of July 13, 2004, the Plan was amended and restated to make certain administrative changes and to unify the definition of Acceleration Event (as defined herein) with other employee benefit plans of ITT Corporation (formerly known as ITT Industries, Inc.). Effective as of July 13, 2004, the Plan was further amended to eliminate approval by the Compensation and Personnel Committee of the Board of Directors for lump-sum payments made on or after September 1, 2004, and to revise the interest rate assumption utilized to calculate the amount of an elective lump-sum payment available upon retirement to a Participant who becomes an Eligible Employee (as defined herein) after January 1, 2005.
Effective as of July 1, 2006, the Plan’s name was revised to the ITT Excess Pension Plan IB.

In addition, with respect to a Participant who was employed by the Corporation or one of its Associated Companies (as defined herein) on January 1, 2005, the portion of his benefit payable under the provisions of this Plan equal to his Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit (as defined herein) shall be subject to the provisions of the ITT Excess Pension Plan II as in effect on October 3, 2004, without regard to any amendments after October 3, 2004, which would constitute a material modification for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, unless otherwise provided in Appendix A.

i


Effective as of October 31, 2011, ITT Corporation restructured into three separate, publicly-traded companies named ITT Corporation, Exelis Inc., and Xylem Inc. In connection with the restructuring, the Plan is being amended, effective as of October 31, 2011, to reflect the restructuring and transfer of the Plan sponsorship to Exelis Inc. When used hereinafter, the term Corporation shall collectively include Exelis Inc. and, for the period prior to October 31, 2011, ITT Corporation.
Effective as of October 31, 2011, the Plan is being renamed the Exelis Excess Pension Plan IB. When used hereinafter, the term Plan shall collectively include the Exelis Excess Pension Plan IB and, for the period prior to October 31, 2011, the ITT Excess Benefit Plan IB and prior versions thereof. Effective December 31, 2016, the Plan is amended to cease all future accruals.
All benefits payable under this Plan, which is intended to constitute a nonqualified, unfunded deferred compensation plan for a select group of management or highly compensated employees under Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, shall be paid out of the general assets of the Corporation.

A Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit shall commence in accordance with the provisions of the Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004, modified as set forth in Appendix A and without regard to any amendments

6


after October 3, 2004, which would constitute a material modification for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
(b)
Form of Benefit
(i)
Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, the portion of the Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit determined under Section 2.02 attributable to the TPP formula shall be paid in the same form as the Participant’s supplemental benefit determined under the provisions of the Exelis Excess Pension Plan IA attributable to the TPP formula, if any, is paid. However, if the Participant is not entitled to a supplemental benefit under the provisions of the Exelis Excess Pension Plan IA attributable to the TPP formula, then unless the Participant has a valid election under clause (ii) or (iii) below in effect, the portion of the Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit determined under Section 2.02 attributable to the TPP formula shall be paid in the form of a single life annuity for the life of the Participant, if the Participant is not married on his Annuity Starting Date, or in the form of a 50% joint & survivor annuity, if the Participant is married (or has a Registered Domestic Partner) on his Annuity Starting Date.
(ii)
Subject to the provisions of clause (iv) below, a Participant who is not entitled to a supplemental benefit under the provisions of the Exelis Excess Pension Plan IA attributable to the TPP formula may elect to convert his 409A Supplemental Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to the TPP formula into an optional annuity of equivalent actuarial value available to that Participant under the provisions of Section 4.07(b) of the Retirement Plan as of his Annuity Starting Date, provided said optional annuity satisfies the definition of “life annuity” as provided in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-(2)(b)(2)(ii) and any further guidance thereto. Such equivalent actuarial value shall be based on the applicable factors set forth in Appendix A of the Retirement Plan.
(iii)
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of clause (ii) above, a Participant who is not entitled to a supplemental benefit under the provisions of the Exelis Excess Pension Plan IA attributable to the TPP formula may, subject to the timing limitations and other restrictions as shall be prescribed by the Committee, elect, by written notice received by the Committee, to receive the portion of his entire Supplemental Benefit payable under this Plan attributable to the TPP formula in the form of a single lump-sum payment if upon his Termination of Employment he retires under the provisions of the Retirement Plan at his Postponed Retirement Date, Normal Retirement Date, Standard Early Retirement Date or Special Early Retirement Date (as such terms are defined under the Retirement Plan). Such election must have been completed and filed with the Plan Committee no later than December 31, 2008, and became irrevocable as of January 1, 2009.

7


However, if the Participant who has made a valid election under the provisions of this Section 2.04(b)(iii) or under Section 2.04(b)(iii) of the Exelis Excess Pension Plan IA dies after his Early, Normal or Postponed Retirement Date but prior to receiving his lump-sum payment, the payment shall be made to the Participant’s Beneficiary with the calculation of such payment based on the assumption that payment had been made immediately preceding the Participant’s date of death. For avoidance of doubt, if a Participant has not satisfied the eligibility requirements to retire under the Retirement Plan with an early, normal or postponed retirement allowance upon his Termination of Employment, the election of a lump-sum payment under the provisions of the clause (iii) shall not be effective.
Such lump-sum payment shall be calculated on an actuarial equivalent basis using the interest rate assumption for immediate annuities used by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) for valuing benefits for single employer plans as published by the PBGC for the month in which the payment is effective and the mortality table utilized as of such date under the provisions of the Retirement Plan to calculate the amount of a small lump-sum cashout. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, with respect to a Participant who becomes an Eligible Employee after January 1, 2005, such lump-sum payment shall be calculated on an actuarial equivalent basis using the IRS Interest Rate as published in the fourth month prior to the month following the month in which the Participant’s Termination of Employment occurs and the mortality table utilized as of such date under the provisions of the Retirement Plan to calculate the amount of a small lump-sum cashout. The calculation of a lump-sum payment under this clause (iii) shall be based on the Participant’s benefit determined pursuant to Section 2.02 attributable to the TPP formula portion of such benefit as if it were paid in the form of a single life annuity to the Participant. The calculation of a lump-sum payment hereunder shall be made without regard to the possibility of any future changes after the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date in the amount of benefits payable under the Retirement Plan because of future changes in the limitations referred to in Section 2.02. This lump-sum payment plus any payment made pursuant to the provisions of clause (v) below represents a complete settlement of all 409A Supplemental Benefits due on the Participant’s behalf under the Plan.
(iv)
Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, a Participant’s election to receive his 409A Supplemental Benefit attributable to the TPP formula in an optional annuity form of payment as described in clause (ii) above shall be effective as of the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date applicable to that portion of his 409A Supplemental Benefit, provided the Participant makes and submits to the Committee in the manner prescribed by the Committee, his election of such optional annuity form prior to such applicable Annuity Starting Date. Unless

8


otherwise provided under clause (iii) above, a Participant who fails to elect an optional annuity form of benefit applicable to the TPP formula portion of his 409A Supplemental Benefit in a timely manner shall receive such benefit in accordance with the provisions of clause (i) above.
(v)
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(b), the portion of a Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to the PEP formula shall be payable in the form of a single lump-sum payment. Such lump-sum payment shall be calculated on the same basis as provided in Section 4.07(b)(v) of the Retirement Plan except as otherwise provided in Section 2.02(d).
(vi)
The portion of the Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to the TPP formula shall commence and the form of payment of such benefit shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004, modified as set forth in Appendix A and without regard to any Plan amendments after that date which would constitute a material modification for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, unless a Participant has a valid election under either clause (iii) above or Section 2.04(b)(ii) of the Exelis Excess Pension Plan IA in effect as of his date of Termination of Employment. The portion of the Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to the PEP formula shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of the Excess Plan II as in effect on October 3, 2004, modified as set forth in Appendix A and without regard to any amendments after October 3, 2004, which would constitute a material modification for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
(c)
Death Prior to a Participant’s Annuity Starting Date
(i)
If a Participant entitled to a vested benefit under the Retirement Plan dies (1) before meeting the eligibility requirements for an Automatic Pre-Retirement Survivor’s Benefit under Section 4.08(b) of the Retirement Plan and while in active service with the Company or any Associated Company or while Disabled but before his Annuity Starting Date, or (2) after Termination of Employment with entitlement to a vested benefit hereunder but prior to his Annuity Starting Date, the Participant’s spouse (or Registered Domestic Partner) shall receive a monthly payment for life equal to the monthly income which would have been payable to such spouse (or Registered Domestic Partner) under Section 4.08(a) of the Retirement Plan based on the hypothetical benefit attributable to his Supplemental Benefit as calculated under Section 2.02 hereof assuming payments commence as of the first day of the month following the Participant’s date of death or attainment of age 55, if later. The portion of such survivor benefit attributable to the Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit shall commence as of the

9


first day of the month following the later of the Participant’s date of death or the Participant’s attainment of age 55 (or in the event clause (iv) is applicable, the date specified in clause (iv)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of any benefit payable under this clause (i) attributable to the PEP formula portion of the benefit which would have been payable to the spouse (or Registered Domestic Partner) based on the hypothetical 409A Supplemental Benefit as calculated under Section 2.02 shall be determined assuming that portion of the survivor benefit commences as of the first day of the month following the Participant’s date of death (or the date specified in clause (iv), if later) and such benefit shall be payable in the form of a single lump-sum payment as of the first day of the month following the Participant’s date of death. This lump-sum payment shall be calculated on the same basis as provided in Section 4.08(a)(iii) of the Retirement Plan using the IRS Mortality Table (as defined in the Retirement Plan) and IRS Interest Rate. Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, the portion of any survivor benefit payable under this clause (i) attributable to the Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of the Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004, modified as set forth in Appendix A, and without regard to any amendments after October 3, 2004, which would constitute a material modification for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
(ii)
Except as otherwise provided below or in clause (iii) of this Section 2.04(c), in the event a Participant who has satisfied the eligibility requirements for the Automatic Pre-Retirement Survivor’s Benefit under Section 4.08(b) of the Retirement Plan, dies (1) while in active service with the Company or any Associated Company or (2) after his Termination of Employment or the date he becomes Disabled, if earlier, but prior to his Annuity Starting Date, the Participant’s Beneficiary, if any, shall receive a monthly payment for the life of the Beneficiary equal to the monthly income which would have been payable to such Beneficiary under Section 4.08(b) of the Retirement Plan based on the hypothetical retirement benefit attributable to his Supplemental Benefit as calculated under Section 2.02 hereof assuming payments commence on the first day of the month following the Participant’s death (or the date specified in clause (iv), if later). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of any benefit payable under this clause (ii) attributable to the PEP formula portion of the benefit which would have been payable to the Beneficiary based on the hypothetical 409A Supplemental Benefit as calculated under Section 2.02 hereof shall be payable in the form of a single lump-sum payment. This lump-sum payment shall be calculated on the same basis as provided in Section 4.08(b)(iii) of the Retirement Plan except as otherwise provided in Section 2.02(d). The portion of any benefit payable under this clause (ii) attributable to a Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit as calculated under Section 2.02

10


hereof shall commence on the first day of the month following the Participant’s death.
The portion of such survivor benefit payable under this clause (ii) of paragraph (c) attributable to the Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit shall commence in accordance with the provisions of the Excess Plan II as in effect on October 3, 2004, modified as set forth in Appendix A, and without regard to any amendments after October 3, 2004, which would constitute a material modification for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
(iii)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Participant, who has satisfied the eligibility requirements to retire under the Retirement Plan with an early, normal or postponed retirement allowance, has filed a valid election to receive a lump-sum payment of benefits under the provisions of (1) Section 2.04(b)(iii) above or (2) Section 2.04(b)(iii) of the Exelis Excess Pension Plan IA, dies on or after age 55 and prior to his Annuity Starting Date, the Beneficiary of such Participant shall receive a single lump-sum amount determined as follows:
(A)
In the event of the Participant’s death (i) prior to his Termination of Employment or (ii) after he becomes Disabled but prior to his Annuity Starting Date, the lump-sum payment shall be equal to the value of the Participant’s benefit attributable to his Supplemental Benefit, if any, accrued to his date of death as determined under the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof.
(B)
In the event of any other Participant’s death after his Termination of Employment and prior to his Annuity Starting Date, the lump-sum payment shall be equal to the value of the Participant’s Supplemental Benefit accrued to the Participant’s Termination of Employment as determined under the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof.
The portion of the lump-sum payment under this clause (iii) attributable to the PEP formula portion of his 409A Supplemental Benefit, if any, shall be calculated on the same basis as provided in Section 4.08(b)(iii) of the Retirement Plan except as otherwise provided in Section 2.02(d). The portion of the lump-sum payment under this clause (iii) attributable to the TPP formula portion of the Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit shall be (1) based on the Participant’s Plan benefit attributable to the TPP formula portion as if it were paid in the form of a single life annuity to the Participant and (2) calculated on an actuarial equivalent basis using the interest rate assumption for immediate annuities used by the PBGC for valuing benefits for single employer plans as published by the PBGC for the month following the Participant’s date of Termination of Employment or, if earlier, the date of his death and the mortality table utilized as of such date under the

11


provisions of the Retirement Plan to calculate the amount of a small lump-sum cashout. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, with respect to a Participant who becomes an Eligible Employee after January 1, 2005, the lump-sum payment in the preceding sentence shall be calculated on an actuarial equivalent basis using the IRS Interest Rate as published in the fourth month prior to the month in which the Participant’s Termination of Employment or, if earlier, date of death occurs and the mortality table utilized as of such date under the provisions of the Retirement Plan to calculate the amount of a small lump-sum cashout. The calculation of a lump-sum payment hereunder shall be made without regard to the possibility of any future changes after the Participant’s death in the amount of benefits payable under the Retirement Plan because of future changes in the limitations referred to in Section 2.02.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of such survivor benefit attributable to the Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of the Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004, modified as set forth in Appendix A, and without regard to any Plan amendments after October 3, 2004, which would constitute a material modification for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a total lump-sum payment under this clause (iii) shall be made to the Participant’s Beneficiary only if the Participant has filed an election to receive a lump-sum payment of any benefits under the provisions of (i) Section 2.04(a)(iii) or (ii) Section 2.04(a)(iii) of the Exelis Excess Pension Plan IA in accordance with the timing limitations and other restrictions prescribed by the Committee. Payment shall be made to the Participant’s Beneficiary as soon as practicable after the Participant’s date of death. The lump-sum payment under this clause (iii) represents a complete settlement of all benefits due the Beneficiary on the Participant’s behalf under the Plan.
(iv)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the survivor benefit payable under this Section 2.04(c) to the spouse or Beneficiary of a Participant who died prior to January 1, 2009, has not commenced as of January 1, 2009, such survivor benefit shall commence as of January 1, 2009, or, if later, the date specified in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above, whichever is applicable.
(d)
Disability prior to Termination of Employment
(i)
Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, in the event a Participant becomes Disabled prior to his Termination of Employment, the Participant shall be entitled to a Disability Supplemental Benefit equal to the amount determined under the provisions of Section 2.02(a) based on his years of Benefit Service, accrued under the Retirement Plan to the date he became Disabled plus the years of Benefit Service, if any, the Participant accrues

12


under the terms of the Retirement Plan after the date he becomes Disabled and prior to the earlier of his attainment of age 65 or December 31, 2016.
(ii)
The portion of the Disability Supplemental Benefit determined under the provisions of clause (i) in excess of the Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) above and payments shall commence on the first day of the month following the month in which the Participant attains age 65.
(iii)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of the Disability Supplemental Benefit attributable to the Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of the Excess Plan II as in effect on October 3, 2004, modified as set forth in Appendix A, and without regard to any amendments after October 3, 2004, which would constitute a material modification for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
2.05
Payment Upon the Occurrence of a Change in Control
Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, (i) all retired Participants then receiving or then entitled to receive a 409A Supplemental Benefit under the Plan, (ii) all former Participants then receiving or then entitled to receive a 409A Supplemental Benefit hereunder, and (iii) all Participants who are then still in active service shall automatically receive, in a single lump-sum payment, the 409A Supplemental Benefit remaining due as of the Change in Control to any such retired or former Participant or the benefit, if any, accrued by such active Participant up to the Change in Control event and as determined under Section 2.02 hereof. The amount of such lump-sum payment attributable to the PEP formula portion of the Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit payable under this Plan not in payment status as of the occurrence of a Change in Control event shall be calculated on the same basis as provided in Section 4.07(b)(v) of the Retirement Plan using the IRS Mortality Table and IRS Interest Rate determined as if the date the Change in Control event occurs is the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date. The amount of the lump-sum payment attributable to the TPP formula portion of the Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit payable under this Plan shall be calculated on an actuarial equivalent basis using (i) the interest rate assumption used by the PBGC for valuing benefits for single employer plans as published by the PBGC for the month in which such Change in Control event occurs and (ii) the mortality table utilized as of the day immediately preceding the date the Change in Control event occurs under the provisions of the Retirement Plan to calculate the amount of a small lump-sum cashout. The interest rate for immediate annuities will be used, if the Participant has met the eligibility requirements to retire under the Retirement Plan with an early, normal or postponed retirement allowance as of the Change in Control or is then in receipt of monthly payments under this Plan. Otherwise the Plan shall use the interest rate assumption for deferred annuities to the earliest date the Participant could have commenced payment of such benefit or, if it results in a larger lump sum, his Normal Retirement Date (as defined under the Retirement Plan). If the Participant is not in receipt of his monthly 409A Supplemental Benefit payments under this Plan as of the Change in Control, the calculation of a lump-sum payment hereunder of the portion of the Participant’s accrued

13


benefit payable under this Plan attributable to the TPP formula portion shall be based on the Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to such TPP formula as if it were paid in the form of a single life annuity to the Participant commencing on the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date; provided, however, if the Participant has not met the eligibility requirements to retire under the Retirement Plan with an early, normal or postponed retirement allowance, the calculation of such lump-sum payment shall be based on the Participant’s accrued 409A Supplemental Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to such TPP formula as if it were paid in the form of a single life annuity to the Participant commencing on the earliest date he could have commenced payment of such benefit. In no event, however, shall the lump-sum payment determined under the preceding sentence be less than the lump-sum payment based on the Participant’s accrued 409 Supplemental Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to such TPP formula as if it were paid in the form of a single life annuity to the Participant commencing on his Normal Retirement Date. The calculation of a lump-sum payment hereunder shall be made on the basis of the Participant’s age (and Beneficiary’s age, if applicable) at the Change in Control and without regard to the possibility of any future changes after the Change in Control in the amount of benefits payable hereunder because of future changes in the limitations referred to in Section 2.02. The lump-sum payment shall be made within 90 days following the date the Change in Control event occurs. In the event the Participant dies after such Change in Control event occurs but before receiving such payment, the lump-sum payment shall be made to his Beneficiary. This lump-sum payment represents a complete settlement of all benefits on the Participant’s behalf under the Plan.
For avoidance of doubt, upon the occurrence of an Acceleration Event, either prior to, after or simultaneously with, the occurrence of a Change in Control, the provisions of Section 2.05 of the Excess Plan II as in effect on October 3, 2004, without regard to any amendments after October 3, 2004, which would constitute a material modification for purposes of Section 409A of the Code shall be applicable to a Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit.
2.06
Reemployment of Former Participant or Retired Participant
If a Participant who retired or otherwise terminated employment with the Company and all Associated Companies is reemployed as an employee by the Company or an Associated Company, such reemployment shall have no impact on the payment or timing of payment of any 409A Supplement Benefits earned prior to reemployment.

14



ARTICLE III.     
GENERAL PROVISIONS
3.01
Funding
(e)
All amounts payable in accordance with this Plan shall constitute a general unsecured obligation of the Corporation. Such amounts, as well as any administrative costs relating to the Plan, shall be paid out of the general assets of the Corporation, to the extent not paid from the assets of any trust established pursuant to paragraph (b) below.
(f)
The Corporation may, for administrative reasons, establish a grantor trust for the benefit of Participants in the Plan. The assets placed in said trust shall be held separate and apart from other Corporation funds and shall be used exclusively for the purposes set forth in the Plan and the applicable trust agreement, subject to the following conditions:
(iv)
the creation of said trust shall not cause the Plan to be other than “unfunded” for purposes of Title I of ERISA;
(v)
the Corporation shall be treated as “grantor” of said trust for purposes of Section 677 of the Code; and
(vi)
the agreement of said trust shall provide that its assets may be used upon the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Corporation to satisfy claims of the Company’s general creditors and that the rights of such general creditors are enforceable by them under federal and state law.
(g)
To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured creditor of the Corporation.
3.02
Duration of Benefits
Subject to Section 2.02(d), benefits shall accrue under the Plan on behalf of a Participant only for so long as the deferrals of compensation under a Deferred Compensation Program or other restrictions referred to in Section 2.02 reduce the Participant’s accrual of benefits under the Retirement Plan.
3.03
Discontinuance and Amendment
The Board of Directors reserves the right to modify, amend, or discontinue in whole or in part, benefit accruals under the Plan at any time. However, no modification, amendment, or discontinuance shall adversely affect the right of any Participant to receive the benefits accrued as of the date of such modification, amendment or discontinuance and after the occurrence of an Acceleration Event, no modification or amendment shall be made to

15


Sections 2.03 or 2.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following any amendment and except as provided in Article II with respect to lump-sum payments hereunder, benefits may be adjusted as required to take into account the amount of benefits payable under the Retirement Plan after the application of the limitations referred to in Section 2.02.
3.04
Termination of Plan
The Board of Directors reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time, provided, however, that no termination shall be effective retroactively. As of the effective date of termination of the Plan,
(a)
the benefits of any Participant or Beneficiary whose benefit payments have commenced shall continue to be paid, but only to the extent such benefits are not otherwise payable under the Retirement Plan because of the limitations referred to in Section 2.02; and
(b)
no further benefits shall accrue on behalf of any Participant whose benefits have not commenced, and such Participant and his Beneficiary shall retain the right to benefits hereunder; provided that, on or after the effective date of termination:
(v)
the Participant is vested under the Retirement Plan or pursuant to Section 2.03(b) or (c) above; and
(vi)
such benefits are not at any time otherwise payable under the Retirement Plan because of the deferral of compensation under a Deferred Compensation Program.
All other provisions of this Plan shall remain in effect.
3.05
Plan Not a Contract of Employment
This Plan is not a contract of employment, and the terms of employment of any Participant shall not be affected in any way by this Plan or related instruments, except as specifically provided therein. The establishment of this 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 Corporation to discharge any person and to treat him without regard to the effect which such treatment might have upon him under this Plan. Each Participant 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.
3.06
Facility of Payment
In the event that the Committee shall find that a Participant is unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident or is a minor or has died, the Committee may, unless claim shall have been made therefore by a duly appointed legal representative, direct that any benefit payment due him, to the extent not payable from a grantor trust, be paid on his behalf to his spouse, a child, a parent or other blood relative, or to a person with whom he resides,

16


and any such payment so made shall be a complete discharge of the liabilities of the Corporation and the Plan therefore.
3.07
Withholding Taxes
The Company and an Associated Company shall have the right to deduct from each payment to be made under the Plan any required withholding taxes.
3.08
Nonalienation
Subject to any applicable law, no benefit under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to do so shall be void, nor shall any such benefit be in any manner liable for or subject to garnishment, attachment, execution or levy, or liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of the person entitled to such benefits.
3.09
Forfeiture for Cause
In the event that a Participant shall at any time be convicted of a crime involving dishonesty or fraud on the part of such Participant in his relationship with the Company or an Associated Company, all benefits that would otherwise be payable to him or to a Beneficiary under the Plan shall be forfeited.
3.10
Transfers
(a)
Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, in the event the Corporation (i) sells, causes the sale of, or sold the stock or assets of any employing company in the controlled group of the Corporation to a third party or (ii) distributes or distributed to the holders of shares of the Corporation’s common stock all of the outstanding shares of common stock of a subsidiary or subsidiaries of the Corporation, and, as a result of such sale or distribution, such company (or subsidiary) or its employees are no longer eligible to participate hereunder, the liabilities with respect to the benefits accrued under this Plan for a Participant who, as a result of such sale or distribution, is no longer eligible to participate in this Plan, shall, at the discretion and direction of the Corporation (and approval by the new employer), be transferred to a similar plan of such new employer and become a liability thereunder. Upon such transfer (and acceptance thereof by such new employer) the liabilities for such transferred benefits shall become the obligation of the new employer and the liability under this Plan for such benefits shall then cease.
(b)
Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, at the discretion and direction of the Corporation, liabilities with respect to benefits accrued by a Participant under a plan maintained by such Participant’s former employer may be transferred to this Plan and upon such transfer shall become the obligation of the Corporation.
3.11
Acceleration of or Delay in Payments

17


The Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may elect to accelerate the time or form of payment of a benefit owed to the Participant hereunder, provided such acceleration is permitted under Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(j)(4). The Committee may also, in its sole and absolute discretion, delay the time for payment of a benefit owed to the Participant hereunder, to the extent permitted under Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-2(b)(7).
3.12
Indemnification
The members of the Committee, and the officers, employees and agents of the Company shall, unless prohibited by any applicable law, be indemnified against any and all liabilities arising by reason of any act or failure to act in relation to the Plan including, without limitation, expenses reasonably incurred in the defense of any claim relating to the Plan, amounts paid in any compromise or settlement relating to the Plan and any civil penalty or excise tax imposed by any applicable statute, if
(a)
the act or failure to act shall have occurred
(i)
in the course of the person’s service as an officer, employee or agent of the Company or as a member of the Committee, or as the Plan Administrator; or
(ii)
in connection with a service provided with or without charge to the Plan; or to the Participants or Beneficiaries of the Plan, if such service was requested by the Committee or the Plan Administrator; and
(b)
the act or failure to act is in good faith and in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation.
This determination shall be made by the Corporation and, if such determination is made in good faith and not arbitrarily or capriciously, shall be conclusive.
The foregoing indemnification shall be from the assets of the Corporation. However, the Corporation’s obligation hereunder shall be offset to the extent of any otherwise applicable insurance coverage under a policy maintained by the Corporation or any other person, or other source of indemnification.
3.13
Claims Procedure
(a)
Submission of Claims
Claims for benefits under the Plan shall be submitted in writing to the Committee or to an individual designated by the Committee for this purpose.

18


(b)
Denial of Claim
If any claim for benefits is wholly or partially denied, the claimant shall be given written notice within 90 days following the date on which the claim is filed, which notice shall set forth:
(i)
the specific reason or reasons for the denial;
(ii)
specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based;
(iii)
a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and
(iv)
an explanation of the Plan’s claim review procedure, including information as to the steps to be taken if the claimant wishes to submit the claim for review and the time limits for requesting a review.
If special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, written notice of an extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the end of the initial period of 90 days following the date on which the claim is filed. Such an extension may not exceed a period of 90 days beyond the end of said initial period.
If the claim has not been granted and written notice of the denial of the claim is not furnished within 90 days following the date on which the claim is filed, the claim shall be deemed denied for the purpose of proceeding to the claim review procedure.
(c)
Claim Review Procedure
The claimant or his authorized representative shall have 60 days after receipt of written notification of denial of a claim to request a review of the denial by making written request to the Committee, and may review pertinent documents and submit issues and comments in writing within such 60-day period.
Not later than 60 days after receipt of the request for review, the persons designated by the Company to hear such appeals (the “Appeals Committee”) shall render and furnish to the claimant a written decision, which shall include specific reasons for the decision and shall make specific references to pertinent Plan provisions on which it is based. If special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, the decision shall be rendered as soon as possible, but not later than 120 days after receipt of the request for review, provided that written notice and explanation of the delay are given to the claimant prior to commencement of the extension. Such decision by an Appeals Committee shall not be subject to further review. If a decision on review is not furnished to a claimant within the specified time period, the claim shall be deemed to have been denied on review.

As Amended and Restated as of October 31, 2011






EXELIS EXCESS PENSION PLAN IIA
The ITT Excess Benefit Plan II (the “Plan”) was effective as of January 1, 1988. The purpose of the Plan was to provide those employees participating in the Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees of ITT Corporation or any successor thereto (the “Retirement Plan”) benefits which would have been payable under the Retirement Plan but for the limitations imposed on qualified plans by Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
Effective as of January 1, 1988, the ITT Select Management Plan II was authorized by the Board of Directors of ITT Corporation (the “Corporation”) to pay supplemental benefits to certain select management or highly compensated employees who have qualified for benefits under the Retirement Plan. As of December 19, 1995, the ITT Select Management Plan II was merged into the ITT Excess Benefit Plan II, the surviving Plan was amended to accept the liabilities under ITT Industries Excess Pension Plan I attributable to all participants thereunder other than former or current Presidents, Chairmen, Chief Executive Officers, Chief Operating Officers or Executive Vice Presidents of ITT Industries, Inc. and was renamed the ITT Industries Excess Pension Plan II.
The Plan was amended, effective as of January 1, 2000, to reflect the changes in the Retirement Plan formula.
Effective as of July 13, 2004, the Plan was amended and restated to make certain administrative changes and to unify the definition of Acceleration Event (as defined herein) with other employee benefit plans of ITT Corporation (formerly known as ITT Industries, Inc.).
As of January 1, 2008, the Plan was amended to provide solely to individuals who are designated Eligible Employees (as defined herein) under the Plan on and after January 1, 2008, benefits which would have been payable on their behalf under the Retirement Plan but for the limitations on benefits imposed by Sections 415 and 401(a)(17) of the Code, to transfer all liabilities not attributable to such excess benefits into the ITT Excess Pension Plan IIB (which was authorized to be effective as of January 1, 2008) and to rename the Plan, as amended, the ITT Excess Pension Plan IIA.
With respect to a Participant (as defined herein) who (i) terminated employment with the Corporation and all its Associated Companies (as defined herein) by December 31, 2008, or (ii) was employed by ITT Corporation or one of its Associated Companies on October 1, 2008, and signed and submitted his signed acknowledgement of termination to the ITT HQ Compensation Department on or before December 31, 2008, formalizing his date of Termination of Employment (as defined herein) in 2009, the portion of his benefit, if any, payable under the provisions of this Plan equal to his Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit (as defined herein) was and shall continue to be subject to the provisions of the ITT Excess Pension Plan II as in effect on October 3, 2004, (attached hereto as Appendix C and made part hereof) without regard to any amendments after October 3, 2004, which would constitute a material modification for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, unless otherwise provided in Appendix A.
Effective as of October 31, 2011, ITT Corporation restructured into three separate, publicly-traded companies named ITT Corporation, Exelis Inc., and Xylem Inc. In connection with the restructuring, the Plan is being amended, effective as of October 31, 2011, to reflect the restructuring and transfer

i


of the Plan sponsorship to Exelis Inc. When used hereinafter, the term Corporation shall collectively include Exelis Inc. and, for the period prior to October 31, 2011, ITT Corporation.
Effective as of October 31, 2011, the Plan is being renamed the Exelis Excess Pension Plan IIA. When used hereinafter, the term Plan shall collectively include the Exelis Excess Pension Plan IIA and, for the period prior to October 31, 2011, the ITT Excess Benefit Plan II and prior versions thereof. Effective December 31, 2016, the Plan is amended to cease all future accruals.
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 or highly compensated employees under Title I of ERISA, shall be paid out of the general assets of the Corporation.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, a Participant who on October 31, 2011, was credited for purposes of the Retirement Plan with at least one year of Eligibility Service and continued in employment with ITT Corporation or commenced employment with Xylem Inc. shall become 100 percent vested in and have a nonforfeitable right to benefits under this Plan as of October 31, 2011.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the provisions of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-2(b), with respect to a Participant who is first employed by the Company or an Associated Company on or after January 1, 2000, the

8


portion of such Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to the TPP formula, if any, to the extent vested pursuant to Section 2.03, shall commence on the later of the first day of the month following the Participant’s attainment of age 55 or the Participant’s Termination of Employment.
(ii)
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of clause (i) above and subject to the provisions of clause (iii) below, the portion of any Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to the PEP formula, to the extent vested pursuant to Section 2.03, shall commence as of the first day of the month following the Participant’s Termination of Employment.

Any payment due the Participant which he would have otherwise received under Section 2.02 during the six-month period immediately following such Participant’s Termination of Employment shall be accumulated, with interest, at the IRS Interest Rate (as defined in the Retirement Plan) in accordance with procedures established by the Committee. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this clause (iii) shall not apply to a 409A Supplemental Benefit payable under (1) Section 2.04(c) due to the death of the Participant or (2) Section 2.04(d) due to the Participant’s Disability.

(v)
A Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit shall commence in accordance with the provisions of the Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004, modified as set forth in Appendix A and without regard to any amendments after October 3, 2004, which would constitute a material modification for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
(b)
Form of Benefit
(i)
Unless a Participant has a valid election under clause (ii) below in effect, the portion of the Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit determined

9


under Section 2.02 attributable to the TPP formula shall be paid in the form of a single life annuity for the life of the Participant if the Participant is not married on his Annuity Starting Date, or in the form of a 50% joint & survivor annuity, if the Participant is married (or has a Registered Domestic Partner) on his Annuity Starting Date.
(ii)
Subject to the provisions of clause (iii) below, a Participant may elect to convert his 409A Supplemental Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to the TPP formula into an optional annuity of equivalent actuarial value available to that Participant under the provisions of Section 4.07(b) of the Retirement Plan as of his Annuity Starting Date, provided said optional annuity satisfies the definition of “life annuity” as provided in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-(2)(b)(2)(ii) and any further guidance thereto. Such equivalent actuarial value shall be based on the applicable factors set forth in Appendix A of the Retirement Plan.
(iii)
Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, a Participant’s election to receive his 409A Supplemental Benefit attributable to the TPP formula in an optional annuity form of payment as described in clause (ii) above shall be effective as of the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date applicable to that portion of his 409A Supplemental Benefit, provided the Participant makes and submits to the Committee in the manner prescribed by the Committee, his election of such optional annuity form prior to such applicable Annuity Starting Date. A Participant who fails to elect an optional annuity form of benefit applicable to the TPP formula portion of his 409A Supplemental Benefit in a timely manner shall receive such benefit in accordance with the provisions of clause (i) above.
(iv)
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(b), the portion of a Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to the PEP formula shall be payable in the form of a single lump-sum payment. Such lump-sum payment shall be calculated on the same basis as provided in Section 4.07(b)(v) of the Retirement Plan except as otherwise provided in Section 2.02(d).
(v)
The portion of the Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to the TPP formula shall commence and the form of payment of such benefit shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004, modified as set forth in Appendix A and without regard to any Plan amendments after that date which would constitute a material modification for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. The portion of the Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to the PEP formula shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of the Plan as in effect on October

(c)
Death Prior to a Participant’s Annuity Starting Date
(i)
If a Participant entitled to a vested benefit under the Retirement Plan dies (1) before meeting the eligibility requirements for an Automatic Pre-Retirement Survivor’s Benefit under Section 4.08(b) of the Retirement Plan and while in active service with the Company or any Associated Company or while Disabled but before his Annuity Starting Date, or (2) after Termination of Employment with entitlement to a vested benefit hereunder but prior to his Annuity Starting Date, the Participant’s spouse (or Registered Domestic Partner) shall receive a monthly payment for life equal to the monthly income which would have been payable to such spouse (or Registered Domestic Partner) under Section 4.08(a) of the Retirement Plan based on the hypothetical benefit attributable to his Supplemental Benefit as calculated under Section 2.02 hereof assuming payments commence as of the first day of the month following the Participant’s date of death, or attainment of age 55, if later. The portion of such survivor benefit attributable to the Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit shall commence as of the first day of the month following the later of the Participant’s date of death, or the Participant’s attainment of age 55 (or in the event clause (iii) is applicable, the date specified in clause (iii)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of any benefit payable under this clause (i) attributable to the PEP formula portion of the benefit which would have been payable to the spouse (or Registered Domestic Partner) based on the hypothetical 409A Supplemental Benefit as calculated under Section 2.02 shall be determined assuming that portion of the survivor benefit commences as of the first day of the month following the Participant’s date of death (or the date specified in clause (iii), if later) and such benefit shall be payable in the form of a single lump-sum payment as of the first day of the month following the Participant’s date of death. This lump-sum payment shall be calculated on the same basis as provided in Section 4.08(a)(iii) of the Retirement Plan using the IRS Mortality Table (as defined in the Retirement Plan) and IRS Interest Rate. Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, the portion of any survivor benefit payable under this clause (i) attributable to the Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of the Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004, modified as set forth in Appendix A, and without regard to any Plan amendments after October 3, 2004, which would constitute a material modification for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
(ii)
Except as otherwise provided below, in the event a Participant who has satisfied the eligibility requirements for the Automatic Pre-Retirement

11


Survivor’s Benefit under Section 4.08(b) of the Retirement Plan, dies (1) while in active service with the Company or any Associated Company or (2) after his Termination of Employment or the date he becomes Disabled, if earlier, but prior to his Annuity Starting Date, the Participant’s Beneficiary, if any, shall receive a monthly payment for the life of the Beneficiary equal to the monthly income which would have been payable to such Beneficiary under Section 4.08(b) of the Retirement Plan based on the hypothetical retirement benefit attributable to his Supplemental Benefit as calculated under Section 2.02 hereof assuming payments commence on the first day of the month following the Participant’s death (or the date specified in clause (iii), if later). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of any benefit payable under this clause (ii) attributable to the PEP formula portion of the benefit which would have been payable to the Beneficiary based on the hypothetical 409A Supplemental Benefit as calculated under Section 2.02 hereof shall be payable in the form of a single lump-sum payment. This lump-sum payment shall be calculated on the same basis as provided in Section 4.08(b)(iii) of the Retirement Plan except as otherwise provided in Section 2.02(d). The portion of any benefit payable under this clause (ii) attributable to a Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit as calculated under Section 2.02 hereof shall commence on the first day of the month following the Participant’s death.
The portion of such survivor benefit payable under this clause (ii) of paragraph (c) attributable to the Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of the Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004, modified as set forth in Appendix A, and without regard to any Plan amendments after October 3, 2004, which would constitute a material modification for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
(iii)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the survivor benefit payable under this Section 2.04(c) to the spouse or Beneficiary of a Participant who died prior to January 1, 2009, has not commenced as of January 1, 2009, such survivor benefit shall commence as of April 1, 2009, or, if later, the date specified in clauses (i) or (ii) above, whichever is applicable.
(d)
Disability prior to Termination of Employment
(i)
Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, in the event a Participant becomes Disabled prior to his Termination of Employment, the Participant shall be entitled to a Disability Supplemental Benefit equal to the amount determined under the provisions of Section 2.02(a) based on his years of Benefit Service, accrued under the Retirement Plan to the date he became Disabled plus the years of Benefit Service, if any, such Participant accrues under the terms of the Retirement Plan after the date he becomes Disabled and prior to the earlier of his attainment of age 65 or December 31, 2016.

12


(ii)
The portion of the Disability Supplemental Benefit determined under the provisions of clause (i) in excess of the Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) above and payments shall commence on the first day of the month following the month in which the Participant attains age 65.
(iii)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of the Disability Supplemental Benefit attributable to the Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of the Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004, modified as set forth in Appendix A, and without regard to any amendments after October 3, 2004, which would constitute a material modification for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
2.05
Payment Upon the Occurrence of a Change in Control
Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, (i) all retired Participants then receiving or then entitled to receive a 409A Supplemental Benefit under the Plan, (ii) all former Participants then receiving or then entitled to receive a 409A Supplemental Benefit hereunder, and (iii) all Participants who are then still in active service shall automatically receive, in a single lump-sum payment, the 409A Supplemental Benefit remaining due as of the Change in Control to any such retired or former Participant or the benefit, if any, accrued by such active Participant up to the Change in Control event and as determined under Section 2.02 hereof. The amount of such lump-sum payment attributable to the PEP formula portion of the Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit payable under this Plan not in payment status as of the occurrence of a Change in Control event shall be calculated on the same basis as provided in Section 4.07(b)(v) of the Retirement Plan using the IRS Mortality Table and IRS Interest Rate determined as if the date the Change in Control event occurs is the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date. The amount of the lump-sum payment attributable to the TPP formula portion of the Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit payable under this Plan shall be calculated on an actuarial equivalent basis using (i) the interest rate assumption used by the PBGC for valuing benefits for single employer plans as published by the PBGC for the month in which such Change in Control event occurs and (ii) the mortality table utilized as of the day immediately preceding the date the Change in Control event occurs under the provisions of the Retirement Plan to calculate the amount of a small lump-sum cashout. The interest rate for immediate annuities will be used, if the Participant has met the eligibility requirements to retire under the Retirement Plan with an early, normal or postponed retirement allowance as of the Change in Control or is then in receipt of monthly payments under this Plan. Otherwise the Plan shall use the interest rate assumption for deferred annuities to the earliest date the Participant could have commenced payment of such benefit or, if it results in a larger lump sum, his Normal Retirement Date (as defined under the Retirement Plan). If the Participant is not in receipt of his monthly 409A Supplemental Benefit payments under this Plan as of the Change in Control, the calculation of a lump-sum payment hereunder of the portion of the Participant’s accrued benefit payable under this Plan attributable to the TPP formula portion shall be based on the Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to such

13


TPP formula as if it were paid in the form of a single life annuity to the Participant commencing on the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date; provided, however, if the Participant has not met the eligibility requirements to retire under the Retirement Plan with an early, normal or postponed retirement allowance, the calculation of such lump-sum payment shall be based on the Participant’s accrued 409A Supplemental Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to such TPP formula as if it were paid in the form of a single life annuity to the Participant commencing on the earliest date he could have commenced payment of such benefit. In no event, however, shall the lump-sum payment determined under the preceding sentence be less than the lump-sum payment based on the Participant’s accrued 409 Supplemental Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to such TPP formula as if it were paid in the form of a single life annuity to the Participant commencing on his Normal Retirement Date. The calculation of a lump-sum payment hereunder shall be made on the basis of the Participant’s age (and Beneficiary’s age, if applicable) at the Change in Control and without regard to the possibility of any future changes after the Change in Control in the amount of benefits payable hereunder because of future changes in the limitations referred to in Section 2.02. The lump-sum payment shall be made within 90 days following the date the Change in Control event occurs. In the event the Participant dies after such Change in Control event occurs but before receiving such payment, the lump-sum payment shall be made to his Beneficiary. This lump-sum payment represents a complete settlement of all benefits on the Participant’s behalf under the Plan.
For avoidance of doubt, upon the occurrence of an Acceleration Event, either prior to, after or simultaneously with, the occurrence of a Change in Control, the provisions of Section 2.05 of the Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004, without regard to any amendments after October 3, 2004, which would constitute a material modification for purposes of Section 409A of the Code shall be applicable to a Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit.
2.06
Reemployment of Former Participant or Retired Participant
If a Participant who retired or otherwise terminated employment with the Company and all Associated Companies is reemployed as an employee by the Company or an Associated Company, such reemployment shall have no impact on the payment or timing of payment of any 409A Supplement Benefits earned prior to reemployment.

ARTICLE III.     

GENERAL PROVISIONS
3.01
Funding
(f)
All amounts payable in accordance with this Plan shall constitute a general unsecured obligation of the Corporation. Such amounts, as well as any administrative costs relating to the Plan, shall be paid out of the general assets of the Corporation, to the extent not paid from the assets of any trust established pursuant to paragraph (b) below.
(g)
The Corporation may, for administrative reasons, establish a grantor trust for the benefit of Participants in the Plan. The assets placed in said trust shall be held separate and apart from other Corporation funds and shall be used exclusively for the purposes set forth in the Plan and the applicable trust agreement, subject to the following conditions:
(i)
the creation of said trust shall not cause the Plan to be other than “unfunded” for purposes of Title I of ERISA;
(ii)
the Corporation shall be treated as “grantor” of said trust for purposes of Section 677 of the Code; and
(iii)
the agreement of said trust shall provide that its assets may be used upon the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Corporation to satisfy claims of the Company’s general creditors and that the rights of such general creditors are enforceable by them under federal and state law.
(h)
To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured creditor of the Corporation.
3.02
Duration of Benefits
Subject to Section 2.02(e), benefits shall accrue under the Plan on behalf of a Participant only for so long as the provisions of Sections 415 or 401(a)(17) of the Code limit the benefits that are payable under the Retirement Plan.
3.03
Discontinuance and Amendment
The Board of Directors reserves the right to modify, amend, or discontinue in whole or in part benefit accruals under the Plan at any time. However, no modification, amendment, or discontinuance shall adversely affect the right of any Participant to receive the benefits accrued as of the date of such modification, amendment or discontinuance and after the

15


occurrence of an Acceleration Event, no modification or amendment shall be made to Sections 2.03 or 2.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following any amendment and except as provided in Article II with respect to lump-sum payments hereunder, benefits may be adjusted as required to take into account the amount of benefits payable under the Retirement Plan after the application of the limitations referred to in Section 2.02.
3.04
Termination of Plan
The Board of Directors reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time, provided, however, that no termination shall be effective retroactively. As of the effective date of termination of the Plan,
(a)
the benefits of any Participant or Beneficiary whose benefit payments have commenced shall continue to be paid, but only to the extent such benefits are not otherwise payable under the Retirement Plan because of the limitations referred to in Section 2.02; and
(b)
no further benefits shall accrue on behalf of any Participant whose benefits have not commenced, and such Participant and his Beneficiary shall retain the right to benefits hereunder; provided that, on or after the effective date of termination,
(iv)
the Participant is vested under the Retirement Plan; and
(v)
such benefits are not at any time otherwise payable under the Retirement Plan because of the limitations imposed by Sections 415 or 401(a)(17) of the Code.
All other provisions of this Plan shall remain in effect.
3.05
Plan Not a Contract of Employment
This Plan is not a contract of employment, and the terms of employment of any Participant shall not be affected in any way by this Plan or related instruments, except as specifically provided therein. The establishment of this 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 Corporation to discharge any person and to treat him without regard to the effect which such treatment might have upon him under this Plan. Each Participant 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.
3.06
Facility of Payment
In the event that the Committee shall find that a Participant is unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident or is a minor or has died, the Committee may, unless claim shall have been made therefore by a duly appointed legal representative, direct that any benefit payment due him, to the extent not payable from a grantor trust, be paid on his behalf to his spouse, a child, a parent or other blood relative, or to a person with whom he resides,

16


and any such payment so made shall be a complete discharge of the liabilities of the Corporation and the Plan therefore.
3.07
Withholding Taxes
The Company and an Associated Company shall have the right to deduct from each payment to be made under the Plan any required withholding taxes.
3.08
Nonalienation
Subject to any applicable law, no benefit under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to do so shall be void, nor shall any such benefit be in any manner liable for or subject to garnishment, attachment, execution or levy, or liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of the person entitled to such benefits.
3.09
Forfeiture for Cause
In the event that a Participant shall at any time be convicted of a crime involving dishonesty or fraud on the part of such Participant in his relationship with the Company or an Associated Company, all benefits that would otherwise be payable to him or to a Beneficiary under the Plan shall be forfeited.
3.10
Transfers
(a)
Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, in the event the Corporation (i) sells, causes the sale of, or sold the stock or assets of any employing company in the controlled group of the Corporation to a third party or (ii) distributes or distributed to the holders of shares of the Corporation’s common stock all of the outstanding shares of common stock of a subsidiary or subsidiaries of the Corporation, and, as a result of such sale or distribution, such company (or subsidiary) or its employees are no longer eligible to participate hereunder, the liabilities with respect to the benefits accrued under this Plan for a Participant who, as a result of such sale or distribution, is no longer eligible to participate in this Plan, shall, at the discretion and direction of the Corporation (and approval by the new employer), be transferred to a similar plan of such new employer and become a liability thereunder. Upon such transfer (and acceptance thereof by such new employer) the liabilities for such transferred benefits shall become the obligation of the new employer and the liability under this Plan for such benefits shall then cease.
(b)
Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, at the discretion and direction of the Corporation, liabilities with respect to benefits accrued by a Participant under a plan maintained by such Participant’s former employer may be transferred to this Plan and upon such transfer shall become the obligation of the Corporation.
3.11
Acceleration of or Delay in Payments

17


The Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may elect to accelerate the time or form of payment of a benefit owed to the Participant hereunder, provided such acceleration is permitted under Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(j)(4). The Committee may also, in its sole and absolute discretion, delay the time for payment of a benefit owed to the Participant hereunder, to the extent permitted under Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-2(b)(7).
3.12
Indemnification
The members of the Committee, and the officers, employees and agents of the Company shall, unless prohibited by any applicable law, be indemnified against any and all liabilities arising by reason of any act or failure to act in relation to the Plan including, without limitation, expenses reasonably incurred in the defense of any claim relating to the Plan, amounts paid in any compromise or settlement relating to the Plan and any civil penalty or excise tax imposed by any applicable statute, if
(a)
the act or failure to act shall have occurred
(i)
in the course of the person’s service as an officer, employee or agent of the Company or as a member of the Committee, or as the Plan Administrator; or
(ii)
in connection with a service provided with or without charge to the Plan or to the Participants or Beneficiaries of the Plan, if such service was requested by the Committee or the Plan Administrator; and
(b)
the act or failure to act is in good faith and in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation.
This determination shall be made by the Corporation and, if such determination is made in good faith and not arbitrarily or capriciously, shall be conclusive.
The foregoing indemnification shall be from the assets of the Corporation. However, the Corporation’s obligation hereunder shall be offset to the extent of any otherwise applicable insurance coverage under a policy maintained by the Corporation or any other person, or other source of indemnification.
3.13

EXELIS EXCESS PENSION PLAN IIB
The ITT Excess Pension Plan IIB (the “Plan”) was authorized and adopted by the Board of Directors of ITT Corporation (the “Corporation”) to be effective as of January 1, 2008. The purpose of the Plan is to provide certain supplemental benefits to certain select management or highly compensated employees who qualify for benefits under the ITT Salaried Retirement Plan (the “Retirement Plan”).
Effective as of January 1, 2008, the ITT Excess Pension Plan II was amended (i) to provide solely to individuals who are eligible employees thereunder on and after January 1, 2008, the excess benefits which would have been payable under the Retirement Plan but for the limitations imposed by Sections 415 and 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and (ii) to transfer into the ITT Excess Pension Plan IIB (as the successor plan) all liabilities not attributable to such excess benefits. The Plan provisions effective as January 1, 2008, are substantially identical, except with respect to Plan participation, to the provisions of the ITT Excess Pension II as in effect on December 31, 2007, unless other indicated in Appendix A attached hereto.
Effective as of December 21, 2008, the Plan was amended and restated to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

Effective as of October 31, 2011, ITT Corporation restructured into three separate, publicly-traded companies named ITT Corporation, Exelis Inc., and Xylem Inc. In connection with the restructuring, the Plan is being amended, effective as of October 31, 2011, to reflect the restructuring and transfer of the Plan sponsorship to Exelis Inc. When used hereinafter, the term Corporation shall collectively include Exelis Inc. and, for the period prior to October 31, 2011, ITT Corporation.
Effective as of October 31, 2011, the Plan is being renamed the Exelis Excess Pension Plan IIB. When used hereinafter, the term Plan shall collectively include the Exelis Excess Pension Plan IIB and, for the period prior to October 31, 2011, the ITT Excess Benefit Plan IIB and prior versions thereof. Effective December 31, 2016, the Plan is amended to cease all future accruals.
All benefits payable under this Plan, which is intended to constitute a nonqualified, unfunded deferred compensation plan for a select group of management or highly compensated employees

under Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, shall be paid out of the general assets of the Corporation. The Corporation may establish a trust in order to aid it in providing benefits due under the Plan.

Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, in the event a Participant becomes Disabled prior to his Termination of Employment, the Participant shall be entitled to a Disability Supplemental Benefit equal to the amount determined under the provisions of Section 2.02(a) based on his years of Benefit Service, accrued under the Retirement Plan to the date he became Disabled plus the years of Benefit Service, if any, such Participant accrues under the terms of the Retirement Plan after the date he becomes Disabled and prior to the earlier of his attainment of age 65 or December 31, 2016.
(ii)
The portion of the Disability Supplemental Benefit determined under the provisions of clause (i) in excess of the Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) above and payments shall commence on the first day of the month following the month in which the Participant attains age 65.
(iii)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of the Disability Supplemental Benefit attributable to the Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of the Excess Plan II as in effect on October 3, 2004, modified as set forth in Appendix A, and without regard to any amendments after October 3, 2004, which would constitute a material modification for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
2.05
Payment Upon the Occurrence of a Change in Control
Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, (i) all retired Participants then receiving or then entitled to receive a 409A Supplemental Benefit under the Plan, (ii) all former Participants then receiving or then entitled to receive a 409A Supplemental Benefit hereunder, and (iii) all Participants who are then still in active service shall automatically receive, in a single lump-sum payment, the 409A Supplemental Benefit remaining due as of the Change in Control to any such retired or former Participant or the benefit, if any, accrued by such active Participant up to the Change in Control event and as determined under Section 2.02 hereof. The amount of such lump-sum payment attributable to the PEP formula portion of the Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit payable under this Plan not in payment status as of the occurrence of a Change in Control event shall be calculated on the same basis as provided in Section 4.07(b)(v) of the Retirement Plan using the IRS Mortality Table and IRS Interest Rate determined as if the date the Change in Control event occurs is the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date. The amount of the lump-sum payment attributable to the TPP formula portion of the Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit payable under this Plan shall be calculated on an actuarial equivalent basis using (i) the interest rate assumption used by the PBGC for valuing benefits for single employer plans as published by the PBGC for the month in which such Change in Control event occurs and (ii) the mortality table utilized as of the day immediately preceding the date the Change in Control event occurs under the provisions of the Retirement Plan to calculate the amount of a small lump-sum cashout. The interest rate for immediate annuities will be used, if the

11


Participant has met the eligibility requirements to retire under the Retirement Plan with an early, normal or postponed retirement allowance as of the Change in Control or is then in receipt of monthly payments under this Plan. Otherwise the Plan shall use the interest rate assumption for deferred annuities to the earliest date the Participant could have commenced payment of such benefit or, if it results in a larger lump sum, his Normal Retirement Date (as defined under the Retirement Plan). If the Participant is not in receipt of his monthly 409A Supplemental Benefit payments under this Plan as of the Change in Control, the calculation of a lump-sum payment hereunder of the portion of the Participant’s accrued benefit payable under this Plan attributable to the TPP formula portion shall be based on the Participant’s 409A Supplemental Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to such TPP formula as if it were paid in the form of a single life annuity to the Participant commencing on the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date; provided, however, if the Participant has not met the eligibility requirements to retire under the Retirement Plan with an early, normal or postponed retirement allowance, the calculation of such lump-sum payment shall be based on the Participant’s accrued 409A Supplemental Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to such TPP formula as if it were paid in the form of a single life annuity to the Participant commencing on the earliest date he could have commenced payment of such benefit. In no event, however, shall the lump-sum payment determined under the preceding sentence be less than the lump-sum payment based on the Participant’s accrued 409 Supplemental Benefit payable under Section 2.02 attributable to such TPP formula as if it were paid in the form of a single life annuity to the Participant commencing on his Normal Retirement Date. The calculation of a lump-sum payment hereunder shall be made on the basis of the Participant’s age (and Beneficiary’s age, if applicable) at the Change in Control and without regard to the possibility of any future changes after the Change in Control in the amount of benefits payable hereunder because of future changes in the limitations referred to in Section 2.02. The lump-sum payment shall be made within 90 days following the date the Change in Control event occurs. In the event the Participant dies after such Change in Control event occurs but before receiving such payment, the lump-sum payment shall be made to his Beneficiary. This lump-sum payment represents a complete settlement of all benefits on the Participant’s behalf under the Plan.
For avoidance of doubt, upon the occurrence of an Acceleration Event, either prior to, after or simultaneously with, the occurrence of a Change in Control, the provisions of Section 2.05 of the Excess Plan II as in effect on October 3, 2004, without regard to any amendments after October 3, 2004, which would constitute a material modification for purposes of Section 409A of the Code shall be applicable to a Participant’s Grandfathered Pre-2005 Benefit.
2.06
Reemployment of Former Participant or Retired Participant
If a Participant who retired or otherwise terminated employment with the Company and all Associated Companies is reemployed as an employee by the Company or an Associated Company, such reemployment shall have no impact on the payment or timing of payment of any 409A Supplement Benefits earned prior to reemployment.

ARTICLE III.     
GENERAL PROVISIONS
3.01
Funding
(e)
All amounts payable in accordance with this Plan shall constitute a general unsecured obligation of the Corporation. Such amounts, as well as any administrative costs relating to the Plan, shall be paid out of the general assets of the Corporation, to the extent not paid from the assets of any trust established pursuant to paragraph (b) below.
(f)
The Corporation may, for administrative reasons, establish a grantor trust for the benefit of Participants in the Plan. The assets placed in said trust shall be held separate and apart from other Corporation funds and shall be used exclusively for the purposes set forth in the Plan and the applicable trust agreement, subject to the following conditions:
(iv)
the creation of said trust shall not cause the Plan to be other than “unfunded” for purposes of Title I of ERISA;
(v)
the Corporation shall be treated as “grantor” of said trust for purposes of Section 677 of the Code; and
(vi)
the agreement of said trust shall provide that its assets may be used upon the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Corporation to satisfy claims of the Company’s general creditors and that the rights of such general creditors are enforceable by them under federal and state law.
(g)
To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured creditor of the Corporation.
3.02
Duration of Benefits
Subject to Section 2.02(d), benefits shall accrue under the Plan on behalf of a Participant only for so long as the deferrals of compensation under a Deferred Compensation Program or other restrictions referred to in Section 2.02 reduce the Participant’s accrual of benefits under the Retirement Plan.
3.03
Discontinuance and Amendment
The Board of Directors reserves the right to modify, amend, or discontinue in whole or in part, benefit accruals under the Plan at any time. However, no modification, amendment, or discontinuance shall adversely affect the right of any Participant to receive the benefits accrued as of the date of such modification, amendment or discontinuance and after the occurrence of an Acceleration Event, no modification or amendment shall be made to

13


Sections 2.03 or 2.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following any amendment and except as provided in Article II with respect to lump-sum payments hereunder, benefits may be adjusted as required to take into account the amount of benefits payable under the Retirement Plan after the application of the limitations referred to in Section 2.02.
3.04
Termination of Plan
The Board of Directors reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time, provided, however, that no termination shall be effective retroactively. As of the effective date of termination of the Plan,
(a)
the benefits of any Participant or Beneficiary whose benefit payments have commenced shall continue to be paid, but only to the extent such benefits are not otherwise payable under the Retirement Plan because of the limitations referred to in Section 2.02; and
(b)
no further benefits shall accrue on behalf of any Participant whose benefits have not commenced, and such Participant and his Beneficiary shall retain the right to benefits hereunder; provided that, on or after the effective date of termination:
(iv)
the Participant is vested under the Retirement Plan or pursuant to Section 2.03(b) or (c) above; and
(v)
such benefits are not at any time otherwise payable under the Retirement Plan because of the deferral of compensation under a Deferred Compensation Program.
All other provisions of this Plan shall remain in effect.
3.05
Plan Not a Contract of Employment
This Plan is not a contract of employment, and the terms of employment of any Participant shall not be affected in any way by this Plan or related instruments, except as specifically provided therein. The establishment of this 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 Corporation to discharge any person and to treat him without regard to the effect which such treatment might have upon him under this Plan. Each Participant 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.
3.06
Facility of Payment
In the event that the Committee shall find that a Participant is unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident or is a minor or has died, the Committee may, unless claim shall have been made therefore by a duly appointed legal representative, direct that any benefit payment due him, to the extent not payable from a grantor trust, be paid on his behalf to his spouse, a child, a parent or other blood relative, or to a person with whom he resides,

14


and any such payment so made shall be a complete discharge of the liabilities of the Corporation and the Plan therefore.
3.07
Withholding Taxes
The Company and an Associated Company shall have the right to deduct from each payment to be made under the Plan any required withholding taxes.
3.08
Nonalienation
Subject to any applicable law, no benefit under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to do so shall be void, nor shall any such benefit be in any manner liable for or subject to garnishment, attachment, execution or levy, or liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of the person entitled to such benefits.
3.09
Forfeiture for Cause
In the event that a Participant shall at any time be convicted of a crime involving dishonesty or fraud on the part of such Participant in his relationship with the Company or an Associated Company, all benefits that would otherwise be payable to him or to a Beneficiary under the Plan shall be forfeited.
3.10
Transfers
(a)
Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, in the event the Corporation (i) sells, causes the sale of, or sold the stock or assets of any employing company in the controlled group of the Corporation to a third party or (ii) distributes or distributed to the holders of shares of the Corporation’s common stock all of the outstanding shares of common stock of a subsidiary or subsidiaries of the Corporation, and, as a result of such sale or distribution, such company (or subsidiary) or its employees are no longer eligible to participate hereunder, the liabilities with respect to the benefits accrued under this Plan for a Participant who, as a result of such sale or distribution, is no longer eligible to participate in this Plan, shall, at the discretion and direction of the Corporation (and approval by the new employer), be transferred to a similar plan of such new employer and become a liability thereunder. Upon such transfer (and acceptance thereof by such new employer) the liabilities for such transferred benefits shall become the obligation of the new employer and the liability under this Plan for such benefits shall then cease.
(b)
Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, at the discretion and direction of the Corporation, liabilities with respect to benefits accrued by a Participant under a plan maintained by such Participant’s former employer may be transferred to this Plan and upon such transfer shall become the obligation of the Corporation.
3.11
Acceleration of or Delay in Payments

15


The Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may elect to accelerate the time or form of payment of a benefit owed to the Participant hereunder, provided such acceleration is permitted under Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(j)(4). The Committee may also, in its sole and absolute discretion, delay the time for payment of a benefit owed to the Participant hereunder, to the extent permitted under Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-2(b)(7).
3.12
Indemnification
The members of the Committee, and the officers, employees and agents of the Company shall, unless prohibited by any applicable law, be indemnified against any and all liabilities arising by reason of any act or failure to act in relation to the Plan including, without limitation, expenses reasonably incurred in the defense of any claim relating to the Plan, amounts paid in any compromise or settlement relating to the Plan and any civil penalty or excise tax imposed by any applicable statute, if
(a)
the act or failure to act shall have occurred
(i)
in the course of the person’s service as an officer, employee or agent of the Company or as a member of the Committee, or as the Plan Administrator; or
(ii)
in connection with a service provided with or without charge to the Plan or; to the Participants or Beneficiaries of the Plan, if such service was requested by the Committee or the Plan Administrator; and
(b)
the act or failure to act is in good faith and in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation.
This determination shall be made by the Corporation and, if such determination is made in good faith and not arbitrarily or capriciously, shall be conclusive.
The foregoing indemnification shall be from the assets of the Corporation. However, the Corporation’s obligation hereunder shall be offset to the extent of any otherwise applicable insurance coverage under a policy maintained by the Corporation or any other person, or other source of indemnification.
3.13

If special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, the decision shall be rendered as soon as possible, but not later than 120 days after receipt of the request for review, provided that written notice and explanation of the delay are given to the claimant prior to commencement of the extension. Such decision by an Appeals Committee shall not be subject to further review. If a decision on review is not furnished to a claimant within the specified time period, the claim shall be deemed to have been denied on review.

17
