      - Accrued Rights - The Employee's base salary through the date of
termination of employment, any annual bonus earned but unpaid as of the date of
termination for any previously completed fiscal year, reimbursement for any
unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred by the Employee in accordance
with Company policy prior to the date of the Employee's termination of

advisory services) for a period equal to the Employee's Enhanced Severance
Period following the Employee's termination of employment at the same cost to
the Employee, and at the same coverage levels, as provided to the Employee (and
the Employee's eligible dependents) immediately prior to his or her termination
of employment.

      - Payment of a lump sum amount ("PENSION LUMP SUM AMOUNT") equal to the
difference between (i) the total lump sum value of the Employee's pension

<PAGE>

                                                                               5

the United States or (ii) as may be designated by an Authorized Officer or
Designee) ("PENSION PLANS") as of the Employee's termination of employment and
(ii) the total lump sum value of the Employee's pension benefit under the
Pension Plans after crediting to the Employee an additional two (2) years of age
and two (2) years of eligibility and benefit service and applying the highest
annual base salary rate and highest bonus or service recognition award
determined above under "Enhanced Week's Pay" with respect to the additional
period of service so credited for purposes of determining the Final Average
Compensation under the Pension Plans. The above total lump sum values shall be
determined in the manner provided in the Excess Pension Plans of the Company for
determination of lump sum benefits upon the occurrence of an Acceleration Event,
as defined in said Plans. This provision shall apply to any Employee having a
pension benefit under any of the Pension Plans as of the Employee's termination
of employment. An example of the calculation of benefits set forth in this

benefits. This provision shall apply to any Employees covered under such
benefits any time during the three (3) year period immediately preceding the
Employee's termination of employment.

the number of weeks of the Employee's Enhanced Severance Period times the
following amount: the highest annual base salary rate determined above under

Officer of Designee) ("SAVINGS PLANS") (including matching contributions and
floor contributions) at any time during the three (3) year period immediately
preceding the Employee's termination of employment or the three (3) year period
immediately preceding the Acceleration Event. This provision shall apply to any

Company is unable to treat the Employee as being eligible for ongoing
participation in any Company employee benefit plans in existence immediately
prior to the termination of employment of the Employee, and if, as a result
thereof, the Employee does not receive a benefit or receives a reduced benefit
the Company shall provide such benefits by (i) direct payment to the Employee of
the amounts the Employee would have received from such benefit plan had the
Employee continued to be eligible or (ii) at the Company's option, making
available equivalent benefits from other sources.

6. FORM OF PAYMENT OF SEVERANCE PAY AND LUMP SUM PAYMENTS

      Severance Pay shall be paid in cash, in a non-discounted lump sum within

<PAGE>

                                                                               6

business days after the date the employment of the Employee terminates. The
Pension Lump Sum Amount and the Savings Plan Lump Sum Amount shall be paid in
cash within thirty (30) calendar days after the date the employment of the
Employee terminates.

7. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT - OTHER

      The Severance Benefits shall only be payable upon an Employee's
termination of employment due to a Qualifying Termination; provided, that if,
following the occurrence of an Acceleration Event, an Employee is terminated due
to the Employee's death or disability (as defined in the long-term disability
plan in which the Employee is entitled to participate (whether or not the
Employee voluntarily participates in such plan)) and, at the time of such
termination, the Employee had grounds to resign with Good Reason, such
termination of employment shall be deemed to be a Qualifying Termination.

8. ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN

      This Plan shall be administered by ITT Industries, who shall have the
exclusive right to interpret this Plan, adopt any rules and regulations for
carrying out this Plan as may be appropriate and decide any and all matters
arising under this Plan, including but not limited to the right to determine
appeals. Subject to applicable Federal and state law, all interpretations and
decisions by ITT Industries shall be final, conclusive and binding on all
parties affected thereby.

      Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, following an Acceleration Event,
any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Plan, or the breach
thereof, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American
Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the entire
cost thereof shall be borne by the Company. The location of the arbitration
proceedings shall be reasonably acceptable to the Employee. Judgment on the
award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction thereof. The Company shall pay all legal fees, costs of litigation,
prejudgment interest, and other expenses which are incurred in good faith by the
Employee as a result of the Company's refusal to provide any of the Severance
Benefits to which the Employee becomes entitled under this Plan, or as a result
of the Company's (or any third party's) contesting the validity, enforceability,
or interpretation of this Plan, or as a result of any conflict between the
Employee and the Company pertaining to this Plan. The Company shall pay such
fees and expenses from the general assets of the Company.

9. TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT

      ITT Industries may terminate or amend this Plan ("PLAN CHANGE") at any
time except, that following the occurrence of (i) an Acceleration Event or (ii)
a Potential Acceleration Event, no Plan Change that would adversely affect any
Employee may be made without the prior written consent of such Employee affected
thereby; provided, however, that (ii) above shall cease to apply if such
Potential Acceleration Event does not result in the occurrence of an
Acceleration Event.

                                                                               7

10. OFFSET

      Any Severance Benefits provided to an Employee under this Plan shall be
offset by reducing (x) any Severance Pay hereunder by any severance pay, salary
continuation pay, termination pay or similar pay or allowance and (y) any other
Severance Benefits hereunder by corresponding employee benefits, or outplacement
services, which the Employee receives or is entitled to receive, (i) pursuant to
any other Company policy, practice program or arrangement, (ii) pursuant to any
Company employment agreement or other agreement with the Company, or (iii) by
virtue of any law, custom or practice excluding, however, any unemployment
compensation in the United States, unless the Employee voluntarily expressly
waives (which the Employee shall have the exclusive right to do) in writing any
such respective entitlement.

11. EXCISE TAX

      In the event that it shall be determined that any payment or distribution
by the Company to or for the benefit of the Employee (whether paid or payable or
distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Plan or otherwise,
but determined without regard to any additional payments required under this
Section 11 such payments or distributions being referred to herein as
"PAYMENTS") would give rise to liability of the Employee for the excise tax
imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the "CODE"),
or that any interest or penalties are incurred by the Employee with respect to
such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties,
are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "EXCISE TAX"), then the Employee
shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (the "GROSS-UP PAYMENT") in
an amount such that after payment by the Employee of all Federal, state and
local taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such
taxes), including without limitation, any income and employment taxes (and any
interest and penalties imposed with respect to such taxes) and Excise Tax
imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Employee retains an amount of the
Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.

      All determinations required to be made under this Section 11, including
whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up
Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination,
shall be made by a nationally recognized accounting firm mutually agreed to by
the Employee and the Company (the "ACCOUNTING FIRM") which shall provide
detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Employee within ten
(10) business days of the receipt of notice from the Employee that there has
been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company; provided
that for purposes of determining the amount of any Gross-Up Payment, the
Employee shall be deemed to pay federal income tax at the highest marginal rates
applicable to individuals in the calendar year in which any such Gross-Up
Payment is to be made and deemed to pay state and local income taxes at the
highest effective rates applicable to individuals in the state or locality of
the Employee's residence or place of employment, whichever is higher, in the
calendar year in which any such Gross-Up Payment is to be made. All fees and
expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any
Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 11, shall be paid by
the Company to the Employee when due. If the Accounting Firm determines that no
Excise Tax is payable by the Employee, it shall so indicate to the Employee in
writing. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the
Company and the Employee. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of
Section 4999 of the Code, it is

<PAGE>

                                                                               8

possible that the amount of the Gross-Up Payment determined by the Accounting
Firm to be due to (or on behalf of) the Employee was lower than the amount
actually due ("UNDERPAYMENT"). In the event that the Company exhausts its
remedies pursuant to this Section 11 and the Employee thereafter is required to
make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount
of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be
promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Employee.

      The Employee shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the
Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the
Company of any Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as
practicable but no later than ten business days after Employee is informed in
writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim
and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. Employee shall not pay
such claim prior to the expiration of the thirty day period following the date
on which it gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on
the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the
Company notifies Employee in writing prior to the expiration of such period that
it desires to contest such claim, Employee shall (i) give the Company any
information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim, (ii)
take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall
reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation,
accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney
reasonably selected by the Company, (iii) cooperate with the Company in good
faith in order to effectively contest such claim and (iv) permit the Company to
participate in any proceedings relating to such claim; provided, however, that
the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including
additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and
shall indemnify and hold the Employee harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any
Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto)
imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses.
Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 11, the Company
shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its
sole option, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals,
proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of
such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct the Employee to pay the
tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner,
and the Employee agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any
administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more
appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, further, that if the
Company directs the Employee to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company
shall advance the amount of such payment to the Employee, on an interest-free
basis, and shall indemnify and hold the Employee harmless, on an after-tax
basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with
respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any
imputed income with respect to such advance; provided, further, that if the
Employee is required to extend the statute of limitations to enable the Company
to contest such claim, the Employee may limit this extension solely to such
contested amount. The Company's control of the contest shall be limited to
issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and
the Employee shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any
other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing
authority.

      If, after the receipt by the Employee of an amount paid or advanced by the
Company pursuant to this Section 11, the Employee becomes entitled to receive
any refund with respect to

<PAGE>

                                                                               9

a Gross-Up Payment, the Employee shall (subject to the Company's complying with
the requirements of Section 11) promptly pay to the Company the amount of such
refund received (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes
applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by the Employee of an amount advanced
by the Company pursuant to Section 11, a determination is made that the Employee
shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the Company
does not notify the Employee in writing of its intent to contest such denial of
refund prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days after such determination,
then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and
the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of
the Gross-Up Payment required to be paid.

      In the event the Gross-Up Payment shall fail to make the Employee whole on
an after-tax basis, whether by reason of either (i) an adjustment made by the
Internal Revenue Service or state taxing authority or (ii) because the
Employee's actual effective tax rate was higher than the rate used by the
Accounting Firm as determined pursuant to Section 11 for the year in which the
Gross-Up Payment was made, the Gross-Up Payment shall be recalculated
("RECALCULATED GROSS-UP PAYMENT"), using the Employee's actual effective tax
rate, once it is known for the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is
made, and the Company shall reimburse the Employee for the full amount of any
amount by which the Recalculated Gross-Up Payment exceeds the Gross-Up Payment
("ADDITIONAL GROSS-UP PAYMENT").

      The Gross-Up Payment and any Additional Gross-Up Payment shall be paid out
of the general assets of the Company.

12. MISCELLANEOUS

      The Employee shall not be entitled to any notice of termination or pay in
lieu thereof except as included as part of Severance Pay as provided herein.

      Severance Benefits under this Plan are paid entirely by the Company from
its general assets.

      This Plan is not a contract of employment, does not guarantee the Employee
employment for any specified period and does not limit the right of the Company
to terminate the employment of the Employee at any time.

      If an Employee should die while any amount is still payable to the
Employee hereunder had the Employee continued to live, all such amounts shall be
paid in accordance with this Plan to the Employee's designated heirs or, in the
absence of such designation, to the Employee's estate.

      The numbered section headings contained in this Plan are included solely
for convenience of reference and shall not in any way affect the meaning of any
provision of this Plan.

      If, for any reason, any one or more of the provisions or part of a
provision contained in this Plan shall be held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
shall not affect any other provision or part of a provision of this

<PAGE>

                                                                              10

Plan not held so invalid, illegal or unenforceable, and each other provision or
