 EXECUTION VERSION
CREDIT AGREEMENT

CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of April 29, 2020, by and between ITT INC. (f/k/a ITT CORPORATION), an Indiana corporation (the “Company”), and BNP PARIBAS (together with its successors and permitted assigns, the “Lender”).

		
	1.
	Commitment. (a)     Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lender agrees to make  revolving loans (each, a “Revolving Loan” and, collectively, the “Revolving Loans”) to the Company in U.S. dollars, at any time and from time to time on and after the Effective Date (each such time, a “Funding Date”) to but excluding the Maturity Date in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed  SEVENTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($75,000,000.00) (such amount, the “Commitment”).  The Company may request the making of a Revolving Loan by delivery of a borrowing notice pursuant to Section 5 hereof.  Within the foregoing limits, the Company may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans hereunder, on and after the Effective Date, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein.

The Commitment, the Revolving Loans and the Company’s obligation to repay the Revolving Loans with interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be evidenced by this Agreement and the records of the Lender, which records shall be prima facie evidence, absent manifest error, of the Commitment, the Revolving Loans and all payments made in respect thereof.

(b)     The Lender’s Commitment shall automatically and permanently terminate on the Maturity Date, if not terminated earlier pursuant to the terms hereof.  Upon at least 3 Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice to the Lender, the Company may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Lender’s Commitment to make Revolving Loans; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of such Commitment shall be in an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and (ii) no such termination or reduction shall be made which would reduce the Lender’s Commitment to an amount less than the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans.
		
	2.
	Maturity; Application of Payments. The Company shall repay to the Lender on the date that is three hundred sixty-four (364) days after the Effective Date or, if such date is not a Business Day (defined below), on the immediately preceding Business Day (or such earlier date if such amounts have been declared or automatically have become due and payable as provided hereunder) (such date, as may be extended from time to time as provided below, the “Maturity Date”) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding on such date (together with any unpaid accrued interest thereon and any other amounts owing under the Loan Documents). Whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on the Revolving Loans) hereunder shall become due (other than on the Maturity Date), or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest, if applicable. All sums received by the Lender from the Company shall be applied (A) first, to payment of accrued and unpaid fees, indemnities and expenses due to the Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (B) second, to payment of accrued and unpaid interest due to the Lender hereunder; and (C) third, to payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans.  The Company shall make all payments required hereunder not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of payment in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to an account instructed by the Lender, such instructions to be furnished to the Company separately by the Lender.  The obligation of the Lender to make Revolving Loans shall automatically terminate upon the termination of its Commitment.

	3.
	Prepayment. The Company may, at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Revolving Loans (together with any unpaid accrued interest thereon and any other additional amounts owing under the Loan Documents) on any Business Day, upon irrevocable written notice to the Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. three Business Days (in the case of Adjusted LIBO Rate) and one Business Day (in the case of Alternate Base Rate) prior to the date of such prepayment, in whole or in part without premium, penalty, or termination fee (subject to payment of any breakage costs as provided in Section 8(a) hereof).  Each such prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000 (or if less, the aggregate amount of all amounts outstanding under this Agreement).  Any prepayment of the principal amount of the Revolving Loans shall be accompanied by the payment of the accrued interest thereon to the date of such prepayment and, for the avoidance of doubt, any breakage costs as provided in Section 8(a) hereof.  

		
	4.
	Interest. Subject to Section 6, interest on the Revolving Loans bearing interest at the Alternate Base Rate (defined below) shall be due and payable in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Maturity Date.  Interest on the Revolving Loans bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be due and payable in arrears on the last day of the Interest Period (defined below) applicable to such Revolving Loans and on the Maturity Date; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for the Revolving Loans exceeds three (3) months, interest with respect to such Revolving Loans shall be due and payable on each day that would have been the last day of the Interest Period for such Revolving Loans had successive Interest Periods of three months’ duration been applicable.  Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding.  

Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Loans from (and including) the relevant Funding Date of such Revolving Loans, at the Company’s election, either (a) at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such portion of the Revolving Loans plus the Applicable Percentage (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 day) or (b) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, for periods during which the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate and 360 days for other periods). “Applicable Percentage” means 1.55% in the case of Revolving Loans bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate and 0.55% in the case of Revolving Loans bearing interest at the Alternate Base Rate.
As used herein, “Interest Period” means, as to the Revolving Loans bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the period commencing on the date any such Revolving Loan is disbursed or converted to or continued as bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate or on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period applicable to such Revolving Loan, as the case may be, and ending on the numerically corresponding day (or, if there is no numerically corresponding day, on the last day) in the calendar month that is 1, 2, 3 or 6 months thereafter, as the Company may elect; provided, however, that if any Interest Period would end on a day other than a Business Day, such Interest Period shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, unless such next succeeding Business Day would fall in the next calendar month, in which case such Interest Period shall end on the next preceding Business Day.  Interest shall accrue from and including the first day of an Interest Period to but excluding the last day of such Interest Period.

		
	5.
	Borrowing & Interest Selection Procedures. Each advance of Revolving Loans shall be made upon the Company’s irrevocable notice to the Lender, which written notice (including by means of email to each of the email addresses with respect to the Lender set forth below), substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, must be received by the Lender not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, (a) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of the borrowing of the Revolving Loans if such Revolving Loans shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate or (b) on the requested date of the borrowing of the Revolving Loans if such Revolving Loans shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate. If the Company has not made any election as to whether the requested borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the Alternate Base Rate, then such requested borrowing shall bear interest at 

2

the Adjusted LIBO Rate. If no Interest Period with respect to any requested borrowing at the Adjusted LIBO Rate is specified in any such notice, then the Company shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Each conversion of the Revolving Loans to interest bearing the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the Alternate Base Rate, as the case may be, and each change of Interest Period for the Revolving Loans bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be made upon the Company’s irrevocable notice to the Lender, which may be given by (i) telephone or (ii) in writing (including by means of email  to each of the email addresses with respect to the Lender set forth below); provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Lender of written notice (including by means of email to each of the email addresses with respect to the Lender set forth below).  Each such written notice must be received by the Lender not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any conversion to or continuation of, Revolving Loans bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate or (ii) on the requested date of any conversion of Revolving Loans bearing interest at the Alternate Base Rate. For the avoidance of doubt, in the absence of delivery of a notice of conversion or change as provided above, (i) if a Revolving Loan is bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate, it shall be continued as a Revolving Loan bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate with the same Interest Period and (ii) if a Revolving Loan is bearing interest at the Alternate Base Rate, it shall be continued as a Revolving Loan bearing interest at the Alternate Base Rate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Default or Event of Default, the Revolving Loans may not be converted into or continued as Revolving Loans bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate.

		
	6.
	Default Interest. If the Company shall default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any portion of the Revolving Loans or any other amount becoming due hereunder, whether at scheduled maturity, by notice of prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise, the Company shall on demand from time to time from the Lender pay interest, to the extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount up to (but not including) the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum (computed as provided in Section 4)) equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any portion of such Revolving Loans, 2.00% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to the Revolving Loans as provided in Section 4 or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% per annum plus the rate applicable to such Revolving Loans bearing interest at the Alternate Base Rate as provided in Section 4.

		
	7.
	Unused Commitment Fee. The Company agrees to pay the Lender on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 (with the first payment being due on June 30, 2020) and on each date on which the Commitment of the Lender to make Revolving Loans shall be reduced or terminated as provided herein, an unused commitment fee (the “Unused Commitment Fee”), at a rate per annum equal to 0.35% of the actual daily difference between (i) the aggregate amount of such Commitment and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans (it being understood that if the Lender’s Commitment is terminated or reduced in full or in part pursuant to Section 1(b), the Company shall pay to the Lender, on the date of each reduction or termination of the Commitment, the Unused Commitment Fee on the amount of the Commitment terminated or reduced accrued through the date of such termination or reduction). The Unused Commitment Fee shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and payable in arrears.  The Unused Commitment Fee due to the Lender shall commence to accrue on the Effective Date and shall cease to accrue upon the termination in full of the Commitment of the Lender to make Revolving Loans.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Unused Commitment Fee shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of its Commitment hereunder. The Lender shall become a “Defaulting Lender” hereunder once it (a) has failed, within three Business Days of the date required to be funded or paid, to  fund any portion of its Revolving Loans, unless such Lender notifies the Company in writing that such failure is the result of the Lender’s good faith determination that a condition precedent to funding (specifically identified and including the particular default, if any) has not been satisfied, (b) has notified the Company in writing, or has made a public statement to the effect, that it does not intend or expect to comply with any of its funding obligations under this Agreement (unless such writing or public statement indicates that such position is based on the Lender’s good faith determination that a condition precedent (specifically 

3

identified and including the particular default, if any) to funding a loan under this Agreement cannot be satisfied), (c) has failed, within three Business Days after written request by the Company made in good faith to provide a certification in writing from an authorized officer of the Lender that it will comply with its obligations to fund prospective Revolving Loans, unless the Lender has notified the Company in writing that such failure is the result of the Lender’s good faith determination that a condition precedent to funding (specifically identified and including the particular default, if any) has not been satisfied, provided that such Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this clause (c) upon the Company’s receipt of such certification in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to it, or (d) has become the subject of a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action.

		
	8.
	Break Funding; Alternative Interest Rate.  (a)     The Company agrees to reimburse the Lender, upon demand, for any loss, cost or expense which the Lender may sustain as a result of the Company’s failure to borrow any Revolving Loans on the date requested after giving irrevocable notice of such borrowing, any payment of Revolving Loans on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for any such Revolving Loans bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate, or the last day of each March, June, September and December in accordance with Section 4 above for any such Revolving Loans bearing interest at the Alternate Base Rate, or the failure to repay the same or any interest thereon on the Maturity Date thereof, including but not limited to, any loss in liquidating or reemploying deposits from third parties or fees payable to terminate such deposits.   The Lender shall furnish the Company a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request by the Lender for compensation under this clause (a).  The Lender’s determination with respect to the foregoing shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.  The provisions of this Section 8(a) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect.

(b)      Unless and until a Benchmark Replacement is implemented in accordance with clause (c) below, if on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for the Revolving Loans bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate: (x) the Lender determines that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate to be used in determining the interest rate applicable to the Revolving Loans; or (y) the Lender determines that the Adjusted LIBO Rate as determined by the Lender will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of funding the Revolving Loans for such Interest Period, the Lender shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Company, whereupon until the Lender notifies the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of the Lender to make Revolving Loans bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be suspended.  If the obligations of the Lender have been suspended pursuant to this clause (b), unless the Company notifies the Lender at least two Business Days before the date of borrowing that it elects not to borrow on such date, such borrowing shall instead be made as a Revolving Loan bearing interest at the Alternate Base Rate.  Each determination by the Lender hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c)      (1) Without prejudice to any other provision of this Agreement, the Company acknowledges and agrees for the benefit of the Lender:  (a) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (i) may be subject to methodological or other changes in conformity with the terms of this Agreement, which could affect its value, (ii) may not comply with applicable laws and regulations (such as the Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 of the European Parliament and of the Council, as amended (EU Benchmarks Regulation)) and/or (iii) may be permanently discontinued due to a Benchmark Transition Event; and (b) the occurrence of any of the aforementioned events and/or a Benchmark Transition Event may have adverse consequences which may materially impact the economics of the financing transactions contemplated under this Agreement.

(2) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Lender and the Company may amend this Agreement to replace the Adjusted LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement in accordance with this Section 8(c); provided that, (i) if no such amendment is signed prior to the end of the relevant Interest Period of any outstanding Revolving Loan bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBO rate, such Revolving Loan shall be converted to a Revolving Loan bearing interest 

4

at the Alternate Base Rate, and (ii) until such amendment is signed, the obligation of the Lender to make Revolving Loans bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be suspended.  No replacement of the Adjusted LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 8(c) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.  

(3) In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Lender will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of the Company.

(4)  The Lender will promptly notify the Company of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Lender pursuant to this Section 8(c), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in the Lender’s sole discretion and without consent from the Company, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 8(c).

(5) Upon the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Company may revoke any request for a Revolving Loan bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate of, conversion to or continuation of a Revolving Loan bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Company will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to a Revolving Loan bearing interest at the Alternate Base Rate.  During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the component of the Alternate Base Rate based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate will not be used in any determination of the Alternate Base Rate.

		
	9.
	Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If the Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14 (Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances) of the Syndicated Credit Agreement (as incorporated by reference in this Agreement in conformity with Section 10 of this Agreement), or delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 (Change in Legality) of the Syndicated Credit Agreement (as incorporated by reference in this Agreement in conformity with Section 10 of this Agreement), or requires the Company to pay any additional amount pursuant to Section 2.20 (Taxes) of the Syndicated Credit Agreement (as incorporated by reference in this Agreement in conformity with Section 10 of this Agreement), then the Lender shall (at the request of the Company) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office or branch for funding the Revolving Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its Affiliates, if such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce any amount payable pursuant to the foregoing provisions or avoid the circumstances giving rise to such amount, as the case may be, and (ii) would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be disadvantageous to the Lender.  The Company hereby agrees to reimburse the Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

From and after the effective date of any assignment of any portion of the Commitment and/or the Revolving Loans or portion thereof, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such assignment, have the rights and assume the obligations of the Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such assignment, be released from its 

11

obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto (but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 8(a) hereof and Sections 2.14, 2.20 and 10.05 of the Syndicated Credit Agreement incorporated in this Agreement as Incorporated Miscellaneous Provisions)).

The Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8(a) hereof and Sections 2.14 and 2.20 of the Syndicated Credit Agreement (as incorporated by reference in this Agreement) (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.14 or 2.20 of the Syndicated Credit Agreement (as incorporated by reference in this Agreement) or greater benefit pursuant to Section 8(a) hereof, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which the Lender sells such a participation shall provide that the Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that the Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase or extend the term of the Lender’s Commitment to make Revolving Loans, or extend the time or waive any requirement for the reduction or termination, of the Lender’s Commitment to make Revolving Loans, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the related Revolving Loans or any portion of any fee hereunder payable to the Participant, (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal or (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon, or any fee hereunder payable to the Participant, to a level below the rate at which the Participant is entitled to receive such interest or fee.

The entries in any Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Company and the Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in a Register as the owner of the rights and/or obligations recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The Register with respect to assignees shall be available for inspection by the Company at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  The Lender shall have no obligation to disclose 

12

all or any portion of the Register with respect to Participants, except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
