The terms of this Memorandum and the ITT Severance Plan and Summary Plan Description will govern your severance arrangements and separation. In order to receive the severance payment and certain other benefits described herein, you must execute and not revoke the attached Separation Agreement and General Release of Claims (“Release”).

 

I.

Expiration of Service

You will continue to be employed as an active, full-time employee through January 4, 2019, (the “Separation Date”). You will be paid your current annual base salary of $385,000 through this active service period, in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices, procedures and dates. In addition, subject to the terms and conditions of this Memorandum, you and your eligible dependents will continue to participate in applicable ITT benefit plans through the Separation Date or as otherwise described herein.

Severance Arrangements

 

  A.

Severance Pay Pursuant to the ITT Severance Plan and Summary Plan Description, following your Separation Date, you will be eligible for severance payments in the amount of 45 weeks of your base pay on the terms of the attached Release. ITT will make these payments in the form of severance pay on the regular payroll schedule starting on the later of the Separation Date and the date you execute this agreement and it becomes irrevocable (the “Severance Start Date”), through the Severance End Date, as defined below (such period, “Severance Period”). The last day of the Severance Period is November 15, 2019 and shall be referred to in this Memorandum as the “Severance End Date.” You will not be entitled to receive any other pay or any other compensation from ITT in connection with the termination of your employment from ITT, except as described in this Memorandum or in the attached Release.

All severance payments will be subject to applicable withholdings and taxes and you are solely responsible for all other taxes that may result from your receipt of the amounts payable to you under the Release. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates makes or has made any representation, warranty, or guarantee of any federal, state or local tax consequences to you of your receipt of any benefit or payment described herein.

In the event of your death during the Severance Period, any remaining severance payments due to you will be paid to your estate.

 

  B.

Annual Incentive (Bonus)

You will be eligible for your 2018 annual incentive bonus (calculated at your target percentage) from the period of January 1, 2018 to through December 31, 2018. The actual payout amount will be determined based on both (i) the Company financial performance for 2018 and (ii) an assessment of your performance determined by your manager during 2018, Denise Ramos, at her discretion. Your 2018 bonus will be payable in March 2019. You are not eligible for the 2019 bonus program.

ITT shall pay for outplacement services with an ITT contracted outplacement service provider, or a provider of your choice, for a value of up to $30,000 to you or the provider beginning on or about the date of execution of this Release. This service will be provided for a 12 month period from the contracted date.

Effect of Disqualifying Conduct on Eligibility for Severance and Benefits

For the purposes of this Memorandum, the term “disqualifying conduct” means (i) any direct violation of the ITT Code of Conduct which every employee has been given as our expected standard of ethics and behavior; or (ii) any slander, defamation, disparagement or other conduct to intentionally injure the reputation of ITT, its subsidiaries or affiliates, or its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives or products. The decision as to whether you have engaged in disqualifying conduct during the Severance Period shall be determined in the sole discretion of ITT’s Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Memorandum or in the attached Release, in the event that you engage in disqualifying conduct during the remainder of your employment with ITT, your employment may be immediately terminated for “cause” in which case you will no longer be entitled to severance payments or other benefits covered by this Memorandum or in the Release and any equity or long-term incentive awards will be forfeited to the extent consistent with the terms of those awards.

ITT agrees that to this date, the Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer is not aware of any disqualifying conduct that has occurred.

  omission occurring at any time prior to my signing of this Release. This Release shall not operate as a release or waiver of claims or rights that may arise after the date of its execution, for vested benefits or other applicable benefit plan entitlements, for indemnification pursuant to Company policy or applicable law, for coverage under any directors’ and officers’ personal liability or any fiduciary liability, insurance policy in accordance with the terms of such policy, or any rights I may have as a shareholder in a public company (collectively, the “Reserved Rights”) and this Release shall not affect my right to seek enforcement of the terms and conditions of this Release.

If this prohibition does not apply, however, and a charge or lawsuit is filed by me or on my behalf, I agree not to seek or accept any personal relief, award, monetary damages or other benefits in connection with or based on such charge or lawsuit. This paragraph is not intended to limit my right to commence and maintain legal action for the sole purpose of enforcing this Release or the Reserved Rights.
