Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
   
     The undersigned, pursuant to the terms of an Amended and Restated Agreement
and Plan of Merger dated as of November 12, 1997 (the "Merger Agreement"), among
ITT Corporation ("ITT"), Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. ("Parent"),
Starwood Hotels & Resorts Trust (the "Trust" and, together with Parent,

Acquisition"), hereby deposits, has previously deposited with the Exchange Agent
or has agreed to deliver pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures set
forth below the stock certificates (the "Certificates") identified in Column 1
of Box A below representing the total number of shares of Common Stock, no par
value, of ITT (the "ITT Common Stock"), together with the associated rights to
purchase shares of Series A Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock, issued
pursuant to the Rights Agreement dated as of November 1, 1995, between ITT and
The Bank of New York, as Rights Agent (the "Rights," and, together with the ITT
Common Stock, the "ITT Shares"), set forth in Column 2 of Box A, of which the
total number of ITT Shares set forth in Column 3 of Box A are surrendered with
the request that (i) the total number of ITT Shares listed in Column 4 of Box A
be converted into cash upon consummation of the merger of Chess Acquisition with
and into ITT (the "Merger") at the rate of $85.00 per ITT Share, and (ii) the
total number of ITT Shares listed in Column 5 of Box A be converted into shares
of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Parent ("Parent Common Stock") and
shares of beneficial interest, par value $.01 per share, of the Trust ("Trust
Shares" and, when paired with shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to the
Pairing Agreement dated as of June 28, 1980, as amended from time to time,
between Parent and the Trust, "Paired Shares") at the Exchange Ratio (as defined
below). The "Exchange Ratio" shall be a number equal to the quotient, rounded to
the nearest thousandth, or if there shall not be a nearest thousandth, the next
higher thousandth, of (x) $85.00 divided by (y) the Market Price (as defined
below) of Paired Shares on the fifth New York Stock Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE")
trading day prior to February 10, 1998; provided, however, that in no event
shall the Exchange Ratio be (A) greater than an amount equal to $85.00 divided
by $53.263 or (B) less than an amount equal to $85.00 divided by $61.263. The
"Market Price" of a Paired Share on any date means the average of the Average
Prices (as defined below) for the 20 NYSE trading days (the "Averaging Period")

<PAGE>   2
 
   
immediately preceding such date. Each holder of ITT Shares will also be entitled
to receive for each ITT Share converted in the Merger additional cash
consideration in an amount equal to the interest that would accrue (without
compounding) on $85 at an annual rate of 7% during the period from and including
January 31, 1998 to but excluding the date of closing of the Merger. The
"Average Price" for any date means the average of the daily high and low prices
per Paired Share as reported on the NYSE Composite Transactions reporting
system. THE UNDERSIGNED ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE HAS RECEIVED THE JOINT PROXY
STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT, NOTWITHSTANDING THE
ELECTIONS MADE BELOW, THE AMOUNT OF CASH AND THE NUMBER OF PAIRED SHARES TO BE
ISSUED IN THE MERGER IS SUBJECT TO PRORATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE
MERGER AGREEMENT.
    
 
     Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set
forth in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
 
     NONE OF STARWOOD LODGING, ITT, THE ITT BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR THE STARWOOD
LODGING BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR TRUSTEES MAKES ANY RECOMMENDATION AS TO WHETHER
STOCKHOLDERS OF ITT SHOULD ELECT TO RECEIVE CASH OR PAIRED SHARES. EACH ITT
STOCKHOLDER MUST MAKE HIS OR HER OWN DECISION WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ELECTION.
 
     The undersigned represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power
and authority to surrender the Certificate(s) surrendered herewith or covered by
a guarantee of delivery, free and clear of any liens, claims, charges or
encumbrances whatsoever. The undersigned understands and acknowledges that the
method of delivery of the Certificate(s) and all other required documents is at
the option and risk of the undersigned and that the risk of loss of such
Certificate(s) shall pass only after the Exchange Agent has actually received
the Certificate(s). All questions as to the validity, form and eligibility of
any Election and surrender of Certificates hereunder shall be determined by
Starwood Lodging and ITT, and such determination shall be final and binding. The
undersigned, upon request, shall execute and deliver all additional documents
deemed by the Exchange Agent, Starwood Lodging or ITT to be necessary or
desirable to complete the conversion, cancellation and retirement of the ITT
Shares delivered herewith or covered by a guarantee of delivery. No authority
hereby conferred or agreed to be conferred hereby shall be affected by, and all
such authority shall survive, the death or incapacity of the undersigned. All
obligations of the undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon the heirs,
personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.
 
     The undersigned understands that, in lieu of any fractional Paired Share,
ITT will pay to each former stockholder of ITT who otherwise would be entitled
to receive a fractional Paired Share an amount in cash determined by multiplying
(i) the average of the per share closing prices on the NYSE of a Paired Share
during the five consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately
prior to the Effective Time by (ii) the fractional interest in a Paired Share to
which such holder would otherwise be entitled. Unless otherwise indicated in the
box entitled "Special Issuance and Payment Instructions," please issue any check
and register any certificate for Paired Shares in the name of the registered
holder(s) of the ITT Shares appearing below. Similarly, unless otherwise
indicated in the box entitled "Special Delivery Instructions," please mail any
check and any certificate for Paired Shares to the registered holder(s) of the
ITT Shares at the addresses of the registered holder(s) appearing below under
the box entitled "Election and Description of Shares Deposited." In the event
that the box entitled "Special Issuance and Payment Instructions" and the box
entitled "Special Delivery Instructions" both are completed, please issue any
check and any certificate for Paired Shares in the name(s) of, and mail such
check and such certificate to, the person(s) so indicated.
 
   
     THE UNDERSIGNED UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT THE ACCEPTANCE AND DELIVERY OF
ANY FORMS OF ELECTION BY OR TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT (OR ANY OTHER AUTHORIZED
PERSON) WILL NOT OF ITSELF CREATE ANY RIGHT TO RECEIVE CASH OR PAIRED SHARES IN
EXCHANGE FOR THE ITT SHARES LISTED ON THIS FORM OF ELECTION AND THAT SUCH RIGHT
WILL ARISE ONLY IF THE MERGER IS CONSUMMATED AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED IN
THE MERGER AGREEMENT. THE UNDERSIGNED FURTHER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT THE
ELECTION MADE ON THIS FORM SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE UNLESS IT IS PROPERLY REVISED OR
WITHDRAWN IN ACCORDANCE WITH INSTRUCTION E.1. OR E.2. OF THIS FORM.

     - $85.00 in cash (the "Cash Consideration") pursuant to a "CASH ELECTION";
or
 
     - Paired Shares at the Exchange Ratio pursuant to a "SHARE ELECTION."
 
     You may make a Cash Election or a Share Election as to any ITT Share or
combination of ITT Shares that you hold.
 
   
     NOTWITHSTANDING THE ELECTIONS MADE BELOW, THE AMOUNT OF CASH AND THE NUMBER
OF PAIRED SHARES TO BE ISSUED IN THE MERGER IS SUBJECT TO PRORATION IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT.
    
 
   
     ITT stockholders making Cash Elections or Share Elections may not receive
the form of consideration they elect because the aggregate number of ITT Shares
to be converted into cash in the Merger is limited to 30% of the total number of
outstanding ITT Shares and the aggregate number of ITT Shares to be converted
into Paired Shares in the Merger is limited to 82% of the total number of
outstanding ITT Shares. ITT stockholders making Cash Elections may receive
Paired Shares instead of cash for some of the ITT Shares covered by such Cash
Election if Cash Elections are received for more than 30% of the outstanding ITT
Shares. Similarly, ITT stockholders making Share Elections may receive cash
instead of Paired Shares for some of the ITT Shares covered by such Share
Election if Share Elections are received for more than 82% of the outstanding
ITT Shares. If the Market Price is below $53.263, the combination of cash and
Paired Shares that ITT stockholders will receive in the Merger may have a value
of less than $85 per ITT Share. The Exchange Ratio will be determined five NYSE
trading days prior to February 10, 1998 and will be determined based on trading
prices during the preceding 30 NYSE trading days. Accordingly, it is possible
that the market price of the Paired Shares at the Effective Time will be higher
or lower than the Market Price, and if so, the value of the consideration to be
received by the ITT stockholders will be more or less than $85 per ITT Share
depending on the direction of the price movement. There can be no assurance that
the price of Paired Shares will not decline from the market prices used in the
calculation of the Exchange Ratio.
    
 
B. TIME IN WHICH TO MAKE AN ELECTION
 
   
     In order for an Election to be effective, the Exchange Agent must receive a
properly completed Form of Election, accompanied by all stock certificates
representing ITT Shares currently held by you (or a proper guarantee of
delivery, as described below), NO LATER THAN 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME,
FEBRUARY 9, 1998 (the "Election Date"). If all other conditions set forth in the
Merger Agreement have been met or, if
    
<PAGE>   7
 
   
permissible, waived, the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time")
could occur on the same day approval of the Merger by stockholders of ITT is
obtained. As soon as the date on which the effective time of the Merger is
anticipated to occur is determined, Starwood Lodging and ITT will publicly
announce such date, although no assurance can be given that the Effective Time
will occur on such date. Persons whose stock certificates are not immediately
available may also make an Election by completing this Form of Election and
having Box E (Guarantee of Delivery) properly completed and duly executed by a
member of a registered national securities exchange or of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company
having an office or correspondent in the United States (subject to the condition
that the certificates, the delivery of which is thereby guaranteed, are in fact
delivered to the Exchange Agent no later than 5:00 p.m. New York City Time, on
the third NYSE trading day after the Election Date (the "Guaranteed Delivery
Deadline")).
    
 
     IF THE EXCHANGE AGENT HAS NOT RECEIVED YOUR PROPERLY COMPLETED FORM OF
ELECTION, ACCOMPANIED BY YOUR STOCK CERTIFICATES, BY THE ELECTION DATE (UNLESS
BOX E (GUARANTY OF DELIVERY) HAS BEEN PROPERLY COMPLETED AND SUCH CERTIFICATES
ARE RECEIVED BY THE EXCHANGE AGENT BY THE GUARANTEED DELIVERY DEADLINE), YOUR
ITT SHARES WILL BE TREATED AS NON-ELECTING SHARES.
 
C. FAILURE TO MAKE AN EFFECTIVE ELECTION
 
     If you fail to make an effective Election, or if your Election is deemed by
Starwood Lodging or ITT to be defective in any way, any shares covered by this
Form of Election will be treated as Non-Electing Shares.
 
D. ITT SHARES AS TO WHICH AN ELECTION IS MADE
 
     You may make a CASH ELECTION or a SHARE ELECTION with respect to all or any
portion of your ITT Shares by listing the number of shares with which you wish
to make a specific Election, in the appropriate column on the "Election and
Description of Shares Deposited" box above. If there is insufficient space to
list all your Certificates being submitted to the Exchange Agent or to respond
to any other request for information, please attach a separate sheet.
 
E. SPECIAL CONDITIONS
 
1. Change of Election
 
     You may change any Election or revoke or change any other instruction in
this Form of Election by written notice, signed and dated by you, to the
Exchange Agent accompanied by a properly completed Form of Election. Such
written notice must identify the name of the holder of record of the ITT Shares
subject to such notice and the Certificate number(s) shown on the Certificate(s)
representing such ITT Shares. The written notice must be received by the
Exchange Agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Election Date.
Changes in Elections may be permitted after the Election Date at the sole
discretion of Starwood Lodging and ITT.
 
2. Withdrawal of Election
 
   
     The holder of the ITT Shares listed on this Form of Election may at any
time prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Election Date withdraw his
election by written notice to the Exchange Agent or by withdrawal by written
request of any certificates representing any ITT Shares listed in connection
with the Election made on this Form of Election. Such holder shall again have
the right to withdraw by written request such certificates and thereby revoke
his or her election at any time after April 1, 1998 if the Merger shall not have
been consummated by that date. If the Merger is abandoned or if an election is
withdrawn, certificates representing ITT Shares will be mailed together with
this Form of Election to the person whose name appears in Box A at the address
shown therein.
    
 
3. Shares Held by Nominees, Trustees or other Representatives Holders of Record
 
     Shares held by nominees, trustees or other representatives holders of
record of ITT Shares who hold such ITT Shares as nominees, trustees or in other
representative or fiduciary capacities (each a "Representative") may submit one
or more Forms of Election covering the aggregate number of ITT Shares held by
such Representative for the beneficial owners for whom the Representative is
making an Election. Any Representative who makes an
<PAGE>   8
 
Election may be required to provide the Exchange Agent with such documents
and/or additional certifications, if requested, in order to satisfy the Exchange
Agent that such Representative holds such ITT Shares for a particular beneficial
owner of such shares.
 
F. NO FRACTIONAL ITT SHARES
 
     The undersigned understands that in lieu of the issuance of any fractional
Paired Share in the Merger, Starwood Lodging will pay to each former stockholder
of ITT who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional Paired Share an
amount in cash determined by multiplying (i) the average of the per share
closing prices on the NYSE of a Paired Share during the five consecutive trading
days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii)
the fractional interest in a Paired Share to which such holder would otherwise
be entitled.
 
G. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
 
1. Execution and Delivery.
 
   
     This Form of Election, or a photocopy of it, should be properly completed,
dated and signed, and should be delivered, together with your Certificate(s)
representing your ITT Shares (or a properly completed Guarantee of Delivery) to
the Exchange Agent at the appropriate address set forth on the cover page to
this Form of Election.
    
 
     THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF THIS FORM OF ELECTION, THE CERTIFICATES FOR ITT
SHARES AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS IS AT THE OPTION AND RISK OF THE
STOCKHOLDER. IF DELIVERY IS BY MAIL, REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT
REQUESTED, PROPERLY INSURED, IS RECOMMENDED. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME
SHOULD BE ALLOWED FOR SUCH DOCUMENTS TO REACH THE EXCHANGE AGENT. EXCEPT AS
OTHERWISE PROVIDED, DELIVERY WILL BE DEEMED MADE ONLY WHEN ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY
THE EXCHANGE AGENT. No alternative, conditional or contingent elections will be
accepted.
 
2. Signatures.
 
     The signature (or signatures, in the case of Certificate(s) owned by two or
more joint holders) on this Form of Election must correspond exactly to the name
as written on the face of the Certificate(s) sent to the Exchange Agent, unless
the ITT Shares have been transferred by the holder of record. If there has been
any such transfer, the signatures on this Form of Election should be signed in
exactly the same form as the name of the last transferee indicated on the
accompanying stock powers attached to or endorsed on the Certificate(s) (see
General Instruction 4 below).
 
     If ITT Shares are registered in different names on several Certificates, it
will be necessary to complete, sign and submit a separate Form of Election for
each different registration of Certificates. For example, if some Certificates
are registered solely in your name, some are registered solely in your spouse's
name and some are registered jointly in the name of you and your spouse, three
separate Forms of Election should be submitted.
 
3. Checks and/or Certificates in Same Name.
 
     If checks in payment of any cash and/or any new share certificates are to
be payable to the order of and/or registered in exactly the same name as
inscribed on the surrendered Certificate(s) (representing ITT Shares), you will
not be required to endorse the surrendered Certificates or make payment for
transfer taxes or have your signature guaranteed. For corrections in name or
changes in name not involving changes in ownership, see General Instruction 4(d)
below.
<PAGE>   9
 
4. Checks and/or Certificates in Different Names.
 
(IGNORE THIS INSTRUCTION 4 IF THE FIRST SENTENCE OF INSTRUCTION 3 APPLIES)
 
     If checks in payment of any cash and/or any new share certificates are to
be payable to the order and/or registered in a different name from exactly the
registered name inscribed on the surrendered Certificate(s) (representing ITT
Shares), please follow these instructions:
 
          (a) Endorsement and Stock Transfer Guarantee. The Certificate(s)
     surrendered must be properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock
     power(s) properly executed by the record holder of such Certificate(s) to
     the person who is to receive the check or certificate representing Paired
     Shares. The signature of the record holder on the endorsement(s) or stock
     power(s) must correspond with the name that appears on the face of the
     Certificate(s) in every particular and must be guaranteed by an Eligible
     Institution (as defined below). If this General Instruction 4 applies,
     please check with your financial institution or brokerage firm immediately
     to determine whether it is an Eligible Institution or will need to help you
     locate an Eligible Institution. NOTARIES PUBLIC CANNOT EXECUTE ACCEPTABLE
     GUARANTEES OF SIGNATURES.
 
          An "Eligible Institution" means:
 
             (i) Banks (as that term is defined in Section 3(a) of the Federal
        Deposit Insurance Act);
 
             (ii) Brokers, dealers, municipal securities dealers, municipal
        securities brokers, government securities dealers, and government
        securities brokers, (as those terms are defined under the Securities
        Exchange Act of 1934);
 
             (iii) Credit unions (as that term is defined in Section 19(b)(1)(A)
        of the Federal Reserve Act);
 
             (iv) National securities exchanges, registered securities
        associations, clearing agencies, as those terms are used under the
        Securities Exchange Act of 1934); and
 
             (v) Savings associations (as that term is defined in Section 3(b)
        of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act).
 
          (b) Transferee's Signature. If a certificate has previously been
     properly transferred but the transfer has not yet been recorded on the
     books of ITT, this Form of Election must be signed by the transferee or by
     his agent and should not be signed by the transferor. The signature of such
     transferee or agent on this Form of Election must be guaranteed by an
     Eligible Institution.
 
          (c) Transfer Taxes. In the event that any transfer or other tax
     becomes payable by reason of the issuance of a check in payment of any Cash
     Consideration and/or the issuance of any share certificates representing
     Paired Shares in any name other than that of the record holder, the
     transferee or assignee must pay such tax to the Exchange Agent or must
     establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been
     paid. You should consult your own tax advisor as to any possible tax
     consequences resulting from the issuance of shares or cash in a name
     different from that of the holder of record of the surrendered Certificate.
 
          (d) Correction of or Change in Name. For a correction in name which
     does not involve a change in ownership, the surrendered Certificate(s)
     should be appropriately endorsed; for example, "John A. Doe, incorrectly
     inscribed as John B. Doe," with the signature guaranteed by an Eligible
     Institution. For a change in name by marriage, etc., the surrendered
     Certificate(s) should be appropriately endorsed; for example, "Mary Doe,
     now by marriage Mrs. Mary Jones," with the signature guaranteed by an
     Eligible Institution.
 
5. Supporting Evidence.
 
     In case any Form of Election, certificate, endorsement or stock power is
executed by an agent, attorney, administrator, executor, guardian, trustee or
any person in any other fiduciary or representative capacity, or by an officer
of a corporation on behalf of the corporation, there must be submitted (with the
Form of Election, surrendered certificate(s), and/or stock powers) documentary
evidence of appointment and authority to act in such capacity (including court
orders and corporate resolutions when necessary), as well as evidence of the
authority of the person making such execution to assign, sell or transfer the
certificate(s). Such documentary evidence of authority must be in form
satisfactory to the Exchange Agent.
<PAGE>   10
 
6. Notice of Defects; Resolution of Disputes.
 
     NONE OF STARWOOD, ITT AND THE EXCHANGE AGENT WILL BE UNDER ANY OBLIGATION
TO NOTIFY YOU OR ANYONE ELSE THAT THE EXCHANGE AGENT HAS NOT RECEIVED A PROPERLY
COMPLETED FORM OF ELECTION OR THAT THE FORM OF ELECTION SUBMITTED BY YOU IS
DEFECTIVE IN ANY WAY.
 
     Any and all disputes with respect to Forms of Elections and Elections made
in respect of ITT Shares (including but not limited to matters relating to the
Election Date, time limits, defects or irregularities in the surrender of any
Certificate and effectiveness of any Election) will be resolved by Starwood
Lodging and ITT and its decision will be final and binding on all parties
concerned. Starwood Lodging and ITT will have the absolute right in their sole
discretion to reject any and all Forms of Election and surrenders of
Certificates which are deemed by them to be not in proper form or to waive any
immaterial irregularities in any Form of Election or in the surrender of any
Certificate. Surrenders of Certificates will not be deemed to have been made
until all defects or irregularities that have not been waived have been cured.
 
7. Federal Tax Withholding/Substitute Form W-9.
 
     Under federal income tax law, the Exchange Agent is required to file a
report with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) disclosing the cash payments
being made to you as an exchanging stockholder. Federal law also requires each
stockholder to provide the Exchange Agent with such stockholder's current
Taxpayer Identification Number ("TIN") on a Substitute Form W-9 set forth above.
If such stockholder is an individual, the TIN is his social security number. If
the Exchange Agent is not provided with the correct TIN, the stockholder or
other payee may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue
Service. In addition, cash payments that are made to such stockholder or other
payee with respect to ITT Shares acquired pursuant to the Merger may be subject
to 31% backup withholding. Payments of Paired Shares would be subject to backup
withholding in the amount of 31% of the Paired Shares issued to such
shareholder.
 
     Certain stockholders (including, among others, tax-exempt organizations and
certain foreign persons) are not subject to these backup withholding and
reporting requirements. In order for a foreign person to qualify as an exempt
recipient, that stockholder must submit to the Exchange Agent a properly
completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8, signed under penalties of perjury,
attesting to that person's exempt status. A Form W-8 can be obtained from the
Exchange Agent. See the enclosed "Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer
Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9" for additional instructions.
 
     If backup withholding applies, the Exchange Agent is required to withhold
31% of any cash payment made to the stockholder or other payee. Backup
withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the federal income tax liability
of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax
withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be
obtained from the Internal Revenue Service.
 
   
     If the Exchange Agent is not provided with a TIN by the time of payment the
Exchange Agent will withhold 31% on all such cash payments to be made to you
until a TIN is provided to the Exchange Agent. You must also complete the
Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number.
    
 
     The stockholder is required to give the Exchange Agent the TIN (e.g.,
social security number or employer identification number) of the record owner of
the ITT Shares. If the ITT Shares are registered in more than one name or are
not registered in the name of the actual owner, consult the enclosed "Guidelines
for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9," for
additional guidance on which number to report.
 
8. Special Payment and Delivery Instructions.
 
   
     Any checks representing cash consideration and any certificates
representing Paired Shares will be mailed to the address of the holder of record
as indicated in Box A or to the person identified in Box B (if completed),
unless instructions to the contrary are given in Box C.
    
 
9. Lost Stock Certificates.
 
   
     If you are unable to locate the Certificate(s) representing your ITT
Shares, contact ITT's Transfer Agent, the Bank of New York, at 1-800-   -     .
The Transfer Agent will instruct you on the procedures to follow. In order to
make an effective Election with respect to the lost Certificate(s) and receive
the cash consideration or the share
    
<PAGE>   11
 
   
consideration, you will be required to complete certain additional documentation
and pay for an indemnity bond covering the lost Certificate(s). The cost of the
bond will be based on the value of the ITT Shares represented by the lost
Certificates.
    
 
10. Miscellaneous.
 
     As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Exchange Agent will
begin mailing and delivering checks and share certificates for Paired Shares in
exchange for Certificates representing ITT Shares that have been received by the
Exchange Agent. There will be a delay, however, if backup withholding pursuant
to General Instruction 7 applies.
 
   
     Requests for assistance may be directed to the Information Agent at the
address and telephone number as set forth on this Form of Election. Additional
copies of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus or this Form of Election may be
obtained from the Information Agent at the address set forth below. IMPORTANT:
THIS FORM OF ELECTION, TOGETHER WITH CERTIFICATES (OR THE ATTACHED GUARANTEE OF
DELIVERY, OR A FACSIMILE THEREOF), MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE EXCHANGE AGENT ON OR
PRIOR TO THE ELECTION DATE.

FORM OF ELECTION; YOUR PROXY CARD SHOULD BE RETURNED IN THE POSTAGE PAID

PRIVACY ACT NOTICE.--Section 6109 requires most recipients of dividend, interest
or other payments to give taxpayer identification numbers to payers who must
report the payments to the IRS. The IRS uses the numbers for identification
purposes and to help verify the accuracy of your tax return. Payers must be
given the numbers whether or not recipients are required to file tax returns.
Payers must generally withhold 31% of taxable interest, dividend and certain
other payments to a payee who does not furnish a taxpayer identification number
to a payer. Certain penalties may also apply.
 
PENALTIES
 
(1) PENALTY FOR FAILURE TO FURNISH TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER.--If you fail
to furnish your correct taxpayer identification number to a payer, you are
subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to
reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.
 
(2) CIVIL PENALTY FOR FALSE INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO WITHHOLDING.--If you
make a false statement with no reasonable basis which results in no imposition
of backup withholding, you are subject to a penalty of $500.
 
(3) CRIMINAL PENALTY FOR FALSIFYING INFORMATION.--Falsifying certifications or
affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or
imprisonment.
