Options to purchase 790,521 shares of common stock at an average price of $52.67 per share were outstanding at June 30, 2006 but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the three months ended June 30, 2006, because the options were antidilutive. These options expire in 2012 and 2013.
 
Options to purchase 1,207,541 shares of common stock at an average price of $50.18 per share were outstanding at June 30, 2006 but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2006, because the options were antidilutive. These options expire in 2012 and 2013.
 
There were no significant amounts of outstanding antidilutive common stock options excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the three months ended June 30, 2005.
 
Options to purchase 3,530,200 shares of common stock at an average price of $45.54 per share were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2005, because the options were antidilutive. These options expire in 2012.
 
The amount of antidilutive restricted common stock excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was insignificant.
 
 
(1) Restated for two-for-one stock split effective February 21, 2006.
 
8) Stock-Based and Long-Term Incentive Employee Compensation
 
At June 30, 2006, the Company has one stock-based employee compensation plan that is issuing new stock options and restricted shares of common stock. The Company has one stock-based employee compensation plan and two stock-based non-employee director’s compensation plans that have stock options and restricted shares outstanding, but no further grants will be made under these plans. The Company also has one long-term incentive plan for eligible levels of management.
 
The Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”) as of January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method described in the accounting standard. SFAS 123R requires the cost of stock options issued as equity awards to be measured at fair value on the grant date and recognized in the income

statement. The Company’s Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 reflect the impact of SFAS 123R. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123R.
 
The total stock-based and long-term incentive employee compensation cost recognized in income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was $5.5 and $18.3, respectively. The total tax benefit related thereto was $1.9 and $6.4, respectively. The total stock-based and long-term incentive employee compensation cost recognized in income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 was $6.6 and $15.6, respectively. The total tax benefit related thereto was $2.3 and $5.5, respectively. Total compensation costs capitalized was immaterial for both periods. The incremental stock-based compensation caused net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 to decrease by $3.9 and $6.5, respectively, and basic and diluted earnings per share to decrease by $0.02 and $0.03 per share, respectively. Cash provided by operating activities decreased and cash provided by financing activities increased by $12.7 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 related to excess tax benefits from stock options.
 
Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Condensed Income Statement for the first half of fiscal 2006 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest. Accordingly, expense has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. In the Company’s pro forma information required under SFAS 123R for the periods prior to fiscal 2006, the Company accounted for forfeitures as they occurred.
 
Stock option awards granted to retirement eligible employees prior to January 1, 2006 were fully vested under the provisions of SFAS 123R on the date of grant but were expensed over the expected service period. Compensation expense for the awards to retirement eligible employees would have otherwise been recognized immediately. As of June 30, 2006, there was $5.4 of unrecognized compensation expense related to these awards. In 2006, the Company modified its vesting conditions for stock option awards to retirement eligible employees that aligned the vesting period with the service period. The Company will continue to recognize compensation expense for all stock-based awards ratably over the expected service period under the provisions of SFAS 123R.

(3) Net income and net income per share represents pro forma information based on SFAS 123R.
 
Stock Option and Restricted Stock Compensation Plans
 
The Company’s stock option and restricted share award incentive plans provide for the awarding of options on common shares and restricted common shares to employees. The options are exercisable over seven to ten-year periods, except in certain instances of death, retirement or disability. Certain options become exercisable upon the earlier of the attainment of specified market price appreciation of the Company’s common shares or at six or nine years after the date of grant. Other options become exercisable upon the earlier of the attainment of specified market price appreciation of the Company’s common shares or over a three-year period commencing with the date of grant. The exercise price per share is the fair market value on the date each option is granted. Restricted shares typically vest over a three-year period commencing on the date of grant. The Company makes shares available for the exercise of stock options or the vesting of restricted shares by purchasing shares in the open market or by issuing shares from Treasury. The Company has a policy of repurchasing shares on the open market to offset the dilutive impact of stock option exercises and stock-based awards to employees.
 
The ITT 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (“2003 Equity Incentive Plan”) was approved by shareholders and established in May of 2003. This plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units. The number of shares initially available for awards under this plan was 12,200,000.

As of June 30, 2006, 3,904,119 net shares were available for future grants. During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company awarded 410,751 and 32,000 restricted shares, respectively, to employees with weighted average restriction periods of 3.0 and 3.8 years, respectively.
 
The 2003 Equity Incentive Plan replaces the 2002 ITT Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors, the ITT 1996 Restricted Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors and the 1994 ITT Incentive Stock Plan on a prospective basis. All awards granted under these prior plans will continue to vest and be exercisable in accordance with their original terms; however, no future grants will be made from these prior plans.
 
A summary of the status of the Company’s stock option and restricted stock awards as of June 30, 2006 and changes during the six months then ended is presented below (shares in thousands):

The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding table represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $49.50 as of June 30, 2006, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date. The total number of in-the-money options exercisable as of June 30, 2006 is 8.3 million. As of June 30, 2005, 12.9 million outstanding options were exercisable, and the weighted average exercise price was $26.49.
 
At June 30, 2006, there was $53.9 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested awards granted under the stock option and restricted stock plans. This cost is expected to be recognized ratably over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years.
 
The Company used the following weighted-average assumptions for grants in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005:
 
                                 
    Three Months Ended
    Six Months Ended

Risk-free rates
    5.00%       3.84%       4.73%       3.99%  
 
Expected volatilities are based on the Company’s stock price history, including implied volatilities from traded options on the Company’s stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination behavior within the valuation model. Separate employee groups and option characteristics are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected life represents an estimate of the period of time options are expected to remain outstanding. The expected life provided above represents the weighted average of expected behavior for certain groups of employees who have historically exhibited different behavior. The risk-free rate is based on the US Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of option grant.
 
Long-Term Incentive Plan
 
The ITT 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”), approved by shareholders in 1997, authorizes performance awards to be made to key employees of the Company. The LTIP is considered a liability plan,

ITT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(In millions, except share and per share amounts, unless otherwise stated)

under the provisions of SFAS 123R. Accordingly, the Company is required to reassess the fair value of its LTIP awards at the end of each reporting period.
 
Payment, if any, of target cash awards generally will be made at the end of the applicable three-year performance period and will be based on the Company’s performance measured against the total shareholder return performance of other stocks comprising the S&P Industrials Index.
 
The fair value of each award is calculated on a quarterly basis using Monte Carlo simulations. The three-year volatility of the outstanding awards as of June 30, 2006 was approximately 17.24%. The number of companies included in the applicable benchmark group range from 334 to 362 for the awards outstanding as of June 30, 2006.
 
At June 30, 2006, there was $25.5 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested awards granted under the LTIP. This cost is expected to be recognized ratably over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years. The total cash paid to settle the LTIP liability was $17.2 and $16.1 during the first six months of 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
9) Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges
 
2006 Restructuring Activities
 
During the second quarter of 2006, the Company recorded a $12.5 restructuring charge, reflecting costs of $5.5 related to new actions, $5.7 related to actions announced during the first quarter of 2006, and $1.3 related to prior year plans.

The charges associated with actions announced during the second quarter of 2006, represent a reduction of structural costs in all segments. Planned position eliminations total 93, including 18 factory workers, 67 office workers, and 8 management employees. The costs attributable to the first quarter 2006 plan primarily reflect lease and severance costs. The costs associated with prior year plans primarily reflect additional severance costs.
 
During the first quarter of 2006, the Company recorded a $15.8 restructuring charge, reflecting costs of $12.8 related to new actions and costs of $3.0 related to prior year plans primarily reflecting additional severance costs.

These charges represent a reduction of structural costs and closure of four facilities in the Fluid Technology segment, and continued reorganization and closure of three facilities in the Electronic Components segment. In addition, activity in the Motion & Flow Control segment reflected workforce reductions, the consolidation of functions, the transfer of functions from France to Holland and the outsourcing of selected functions to Eastern Europe. Planned position eliminations total 1,987, including 1,325 factory workers, 590 office workers, and 72 management employees.

The accrual balance at June 30, 2006 of $27.4 includes $20.6 for severance and $6.8 for facility carrying costs and other.
 
At December 31, 2005 the accrual balance for restructuring activities was $32.6. Cash payments of $29.6 and additional cash charges of $27.1 were recorded in the first half of 2006. Foreign currency translation also added $0.5 to the balance. In addition, management reviewed the Company’s remaining restructuring actions and determined that $3.2 of planned costs would not be incurred. Accordingly, $0.7 and $2.5 of restructuring accruals were reversed into income during the first and second quarters of 2006, respectively.
 
The following is a reconciliation of employee position eliminations associated with 2005 and 2006 restructuring activities:

During 2006 the Company announced two planned facility closures in the Fluid Technology segment and one facility closure in the Motion & Flow Control segment. As of the end of the second quarter the two facilities at the Fluid Technology segment remain to be closed.
 
Actions announced during 2006 and 2005 are expected to be completed during 2006.
 
2005 Other Asset Impairments
 
During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company determined that certain businesses within the Electronic Components segment were experiencing lower than expected financial results and as a result certain long-lived assets of those businesses may be impaired. After revising the earnings forecast for these businesses to reflect current business conditions, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $8.3 relating to the long-lived assets. These events and circumstances also caused the Company to record an impairment charge for goodwill relating to the same business unit. See Note 13, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” in the Notes to Consolidated

Financial Statements of the 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, for further discussion of the goodwill impairment charge.
 
10) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
 
The nature of the Company’s business activities necessarily involves the management of various financial and market risks, including those related to changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates, and commodity prices. As discussed more completely in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” and Note 18, “Financial Instruments,” within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate or eliminate certain of those risks.
 
A reconciliation of current period changes contained in the accumulated other comprehensive loss component of shareholders’ equity is not required as no material activity occurred during the first six months of 2006 and 2005. Additional disclosures required by SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended, are presented below.
 
Hedges of Future Cash Flows
 
There were no foreign currency cash flow hedges outstanding as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
 
Hedges of Recognized Assets, Liabilities and Firm Commitments
 
During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company terminated interest rate swaps that were established to manage the interest rate exposure associated with certain long-term debt. The terminated swaps had effectively converted much of the long-term debt mentioned in Note 16 “Debt,” within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, from fixed to variable rate borrowings. The fair value of these instruments at the time of termination was $69.5, which will be amortized into income over the remaining terms of the underlying debt, which mature at various dates through 2025. At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the remaining balance to be accreted into income was $66.3 and $68.7, respectively.
 
At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts of $113.7 and $120.5, respectively, to hedge the value of recognized assets, liabilities and firm commitments. The fair value of the 2006 and 2005 contracts were $0.3 and $0.1 at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The ineffective portion of changes in fair values of such hedge positions reported in operating income during the first six months of 2006 and 2005 was $(0.2) in both periods. There were no amounts excluded from the measure of effectiveness.
 
The fair values associated with the foreign currency contracts have been valued using the net position of the contracts and the applicable spot rates and forward rates as of the reporting date.
 
11) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” which requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets be tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances warrant.

2006 Dispositions
 
In the first quarter of 2006, the Company completed the sale of its automotive brake & fuel tubing and components business to a privately held company, for net proceeds of $198.9. The business, which was a component of the Company’s Motion & Flow Control segment, manufactures steel and plastic tubing for fuel and brake lines, quick-connects, and serves the transportation industry. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2006, the Company completed the sale of its industrial non-metallic lined pumps and valves business to a private equity investor, for net proceeds of $21.9. The business, which was a component of the Company’s Fluid Technology segment, is a leading

manufacturer of pumps and valves for selected segments in the chemical, fine chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. The Company recognized gains on these two transactions totaling approximately $45.0.
 
Revenues and operating income associated with the disposed discontinued operations were $455.7 and $26.5, respectively, in 2005.
 
13)  Pension and Postretirement Medical Benefit Expenses
 
The components of net periodic pension cost consist of the following:
 
                                 
    Three Months
    Six Months
 
    Ended June 30,     Ended June 30,  
    2006     2005     2006     2005

  $ 24.6     $ 23.6     $ 49.3     $ 47.2  
Interest cost
    70.6       70.0       141.3       140.0  
Expected return on plan assets
    (93.3 )     (89.8 )     (186.6 )     (179.6 )
Amortization of prior service cost
    0.7       1.1       1.3       2.2  
Recognized actuarial loss
    21.2       17.8       42.4       35.6  
                                 
Net periodic pension cost
  $ 23.8     $ 22.7     $ 47.7     $ 45.4  
                                 
 
Net periodic pension expense increased in the first six months of 2006 as a result of the lower discount rate adopted at year end 2005 leading to a higher amortization of actuarial losses. This was offset by lower average foreign exchange rates and higher expected returns on plan assets due to higher plan asset balances.
 
The Company contributed approximately $111.5 to its various plans during the first six months of 2006 including a $100.0 discretionary contribution to its U.S. Salaried plan. Additional contributions totaling between $10.0 and $30.0 are expected over the balance of 2006.
 
The components of net periodic postretirement cost consisted of the following:
 
                                 
    Three Months
    Six Months
 
    Ended June 30,     Ended June 30,  
    2006     2005     2006     2005

  $ 2.1     $ 1.9     $ 4.2     $ 3.8  
Interest cost
    10.1       10.8       20.2       21.6  
Expected return on plan assets
    (5.6 )     (5.2 )     (11.2 )     (10.4 )
Amortization of prior service benefit
    (0.3 )     (0.5 )     (0.6 )     (1.0 )
Recognized actuarial loss
    2.6       3.6       5.2       7.2  
                                 
Net periodic postretirement cost
  $ 8.9     $ 10.6     $ 17.8     $ 21.2  
                                 
 
Net periodic expense decreased in the first six months of 2006 as a result of recognition of the impact of the Medicare Modernization Act (“MMA”) and higher expected returns on plan assets due to higher plan asset balances, offset by the effect of lower discount rates adopted at year end 2005.
 
On December 8, 2003, the MMA was signed into law. The MMA introduced a prescription drug benefit under Medicare (Medicare Part D) that provides several options for Medicare eligible participants and employers, including a federal subsidy to companies, effective January 1, 2006, that elect to provide a retiree a prescription drug benefit which is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. There were significant uncertainties regarding the eventual regulations required to implement the MMA as well as the MMA’s overall effect on plan participant’s coverage choices and the related impact on their health care costs which were, in part, answered by regulations issued in 2005. The Company has now determined that a majority of its healthcare plans pass the test of actuarial

equivalence and during the fourth quarter of 2005 made application to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for the subsidy provided under MMA. The MMA subsidy reduced the Accumulated Postretirement Benefit Obligation for the subject plans by approximately $41.0 at December 31, 2005, with the net periodic benefit cost reduced by $2.7 in the first six months of 2006. Other than the effect of the subsidy, there was no expectation that retiree participation would be affected in the short-term given the nature of the Company’s healthcare plans.
 
See Note 19, “Employee Benefit Plans,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K for discussion of postretirement benefits.
 
14)  Commitments and Contingencies
 
The Company and its subsidiaries are from time to time involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to the operation of their businesses. Some of these proceedings allege damages against the Company relating to environmental liabilities, employment and pension matters, government contract issues and commercial or contractual disputes, sometimes related to acquisitions or divestitures. The Company will continue to vigorously defend itself against all claims. Accruals have been established where the outcome of the matter is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information including the Company’s assessment of the merits of the particular claim, as well as its current reserves and insurance coverage, the Company does not expect that such legal proceedings will have any material adverse impact on the cash flow, results of operations or financial condition of the Company on a consolidated basis in the foreseeable future.
 
Environmental:
 
The Company has accrued for environmental remediation costs associated with identified sites consistent with the policy set forth in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In management’s opinion, the total amount accrued and related receivables are appropriate based on existing facts and circumstances. It is difficult to estimate the total 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 contamination and the Company’s share, if any, of liability for such conditions, the selection of alternative remedies, and changes in clean-up standards. In the event that future remediation expenditures are in excess of amounts accrued, management does not anticipate that they will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In the ordinary course of business, and similar to other industrial companies, the Company is subject to extensive and changing federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations. The Company has received notice that it is considered a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) at a limited number of sites by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and/or a similar state agency under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA” or “Superfund”) or its state equivalent. As of June 30, 2006, the Company is responsible, or is alleged to be responsible, for approximately 57 ongoing environmental investigation and remediation sites in various countries. In many of these proceedings, the Company’s liability is considered de minimis. At June 30, 2006, the Company calculated a best estimate of $92.0, which approximates its accrual, related to the cleanup of soil, soil vapor, and ground water. The low range estimate for its environmental liabilities is $68.2 and the high range estimate for those liabilities is $155.6. On an annual basis the Company spends between $8.0 and $12.0 on its environmental remediation liabilities. These estimates, and related accruals, are reviewed periodically and updated for progress of investigation and remediation efforts and changes in facts and legal circumstances. Liabilities for environmental expenditures are recorded on an undiscounted basis.

The Company is involved in an environmental proceeding in Glendale, California relating to the San Fernando Valley aquifer. The Company is one of numerous PRPs who are alleged by the EPA to have contributed to the contamination of the aquifer. In January 1999, the EPA filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against the Company and Lockheed Martin Corporation, United States v. ITT Industries, Inc. and Lockheed Martin Corp. CV99-00552 SVW AIJX, to recover costs it incurred in connection with the foregoing. In May 1999, the EPA and the PRPs, including the Company and Lockheed Martin, reached a settlement, embodied in a consent decree, requiring the PRPs to perform additional remedial activities. Pursuant to the settlement, the PRPs, including the Company, have constructed and are funding operation of a water treatment system. The operation of the water treatment system is expected to continue until 2013, at which time a separate allocation for continued operation of the plant is expected. ITT and the other PRPs continue to pay their respective allocated costs of the operation of the water treatment system and the Company does not anticipate a default by any of the PRPs which would increase its allocated share of the liability. As of June 30, 2006, the Company’s accrual for operation of the water treatment plant through 2013 was $9.1 representing its best estimate; its low estimate for the liability is $5.7 and its high estimate is $14.6.
 
Prior to the 1995 Distribution Agreement, the predecessor ITT Corporation operated a facility in Madison County, Florida from 1968 until 1991. In 1995, elevated levels of contaminants were detected at the site. Since then, ITT has completed the investigation of the site in coordination with state and federal environmental authorities and is in the process of evaluating various remedies. A final remedy for the site has not yet been selected. Currently, the estimated range for the remediation is between $4.0 and $17.9. The Company has accrued $6.6 for this matter, which approximates its best estimate.
 
The Company is involved with a number of PRPs regarding property in the City of Bronson, Michigan operated by a former subsidiary of the predecessor ITT Corporation, Higbie Manufacturing, prior to the time ITT acquired Higbie. The Company and other PRPs are investigating and remediating discharges of industrial waste which occurred as early as the 1930’s. The Company’s current estimates for its exposure are between $6.7 and $14.4. It has an accrual for this matter of $10.4 which represents its best estimate of its current liabilities. The Company does not anticipate a default on the part of the other PRPs. ITT is pursuing legal claims against some other potentially responsible parties for past and future costs.
 
The Company operated a facility in Rochester, New York called Rochester Form Machine from 1979 — 2003. Rochester Form Machine was a former subsidiary of the predecessor ITT Corporation known as ITT Higbie after ITT acquired Higbie in 1972. In August 2003 the Company, through its subsidiary ITT Fluid Handling Systems entered into an Order on Consent with New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to investigate and remediate facility related impacts to soil, soil vapor and ground water. As of June 30, 2006 the Company’s current estimates for this exposure are between $3.1 and $11.9. It has an accrual for this matter of $4.8 which represents its best estimate of its current liabilities. The Company will pursue claims against certain other PRPs who may share responsibility for impacts.
 
In a suit filed in 1991 by the Company, in the California Superior Court, Los Angeles County, ITT Corporation, et al. v. Pacific Indemnity Corporation et al., against its insurers, the Company is seeking recovery of costs it incurred in connection with its environmental liabilities including the four listed above. Discovery, procedural matters, changes in California law, and various appeals have prolonged this case. Currently, the matter is before the California Court of Appeals from a decision by the California Superior Court dismissing certain claims of the Company. The dismissed claims were claims where the costs incurred were solely due to administrative (versus judicial) actions. A hearing is expected in 2006. In the event the appeal is successful, the Company will pursue the administrative claims against its excess insurers. During the course of the litigation, the Company has negotiated settlements with certain defendant insurance companies and is prepared to pursue its legal remedies where reasonable negotiations are not productive.

Product Liability and Other Matters:
 
The Company and its subsidiary Goulds Pumps, Inc. (“Goulds”) have been joined as defendants with numerous other industrial companies in product liability lawsuits alleging injury due to asbestos. These claims stem primarily from products sold prior to 1985 that contained a part manufactured by a third party, e.g., a gasket, which allegedly contained asbestos. The asbestos was encapsulated in the gasket (or other) material and was non-friable. In certain other cases, it is alleged that former ITT companies were distributors for other manufacturers’ products that may have contained asbestos.
 
Frequently, the plaintiffs are unable to demonstrate any injury or do not identify any ITT or Goulds product as a source of asbestos exposure. During 2005, ITT and Goulds resolved in excess of 16,000 claims through settlement or dismissal. The average amount of settlement per plaintiff has been nominal and substantially all defense and settlement costs have been covered by insurance. Based upon past claims experience, available insurance coverage, and after consultation with counsel, management believes that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
The Company is involved in two actions, Cannon Electric, Inc. et al. v. Ace Property & Casualty Company (“ACE”) et al. Superior Court, County of Los Angeles, CA., Case No. BC 290354, and Pacific Employers Insurance Company et al., v. ITT Industries, Inc., et al., Supreme Court, County of New York, N.Y., Case No. 03600463. The parties in both cases are seeking an appropriate allocation of responsibility for the Company’s historic asbestos liability exposure among its insurers. The California action is filed in the same venue where the Company’s environmental insurance recovery litigation has been pending since 1991. The New York action has been stayed in favor of the California suit. ITT and ACE and Nationwide Indemnity have successfully resolved the matter and the Company is working with other parties in the suit to resolve the matter as to those insurers. In addition, Utica National and Goulds are negotiating a coverage in place agreement to allocate the Goulds’ asbestos liabilities between insurance policies issued by Utica and those issued by others. The Company is continuing to receive the benefit of insurance payments during the pendency of these proceedings. The Company believes that these actions will not materially affect the availability of its insurance coverage and will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
The Company is one of several defendants in a suit filed in El Paso, Texas, Irwin Bast et al. v. ITT Industries et al., Sup. Ct., El Paso, Texas, C.A. No. 2002-4730. This Complaint, filed by both U.S. and German citizens, alleges that ITT and four other major companies failed to warn the plaintiffs of the dangers associated with exposure to x-ray radiation from radar devices. The Complaint also seeks the certification of a class of similarly injured persons. In late 2005, the Court dismissed the Bund zur Unterstutzung Radargeschadigter from the case and also dismissed all claims relating to medical monitoring. Numerous other motions are currently pending before the Court. A hearing on class certification is expected in 2006. Management believes that the El Paso suit will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
The Company provides an indemnity to U.S. Silica for silica personal injury suits against its former subsidiary Pennsylvania Glass Sand filed prior to September 12, 2005. ITT sold the stock of Pennsylvania Glass Sand to U.S. Silica in 1985. The Company’s indemnity had been paid in part by its historic product liability carrier, however, in September 2005, the carrier communicated to ITT that it would no longer pay a share of the costs. On October 4, 2005, ITT filed a suit against its insurer, ITT v.

Currently, the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Virginia is investigating ITT Night Vision’s compliance with International Traffic in Arms Regulations. The Company is cooperating with the investigation and recently, with the Government’s consent, it began its own investigation of Night Vision’s compliance with the federal laws utilizing outside counsel. Data and information derived from the investigation is shared with the U.S. Attorney. The Company will continue to assist the Government in its investigation, however at this time, it is not possible to predict the outcome of the investigation or what action, if any, the Government may take at the conclusion of the investigation.
 
15)  Guarantees, Indemnities and Warranties
 
Guarantees & Indemnities
 
In September of 1998, the Company completed the sale of its automotive electrical systems business to Valeo SA for approximately $1,700. As part of the sale, the Company provided Valeo SA with representations and warranties with respect to the operations of the Business, including: Conveyance of Title, Employee Benefits, Tax, Product Liability, Product Recall, Contracts, Environmental, Intellectual Property, etc. The Company also indemnified Valeo SA for losses related to a misrepresentation or breach of the representations and warranties. With a few limited exceptions, the indemnity periods within which Valeo SA may assert new claims have expired. Under the terms of the sales contract, the original maximum potential liability to Valeo SA on an undiscounted basis is $680. However, because of the lapse of time, or the fact that the parties have resolved certain issues, at June 30, 2006 the Company has an accrual of $7.8 which is its best estimate of the potential exposure.
 
In September of 1998, the Company completed the sale of its brake and chassis unit to Continental AG for approximately $1,930. As part of the sale, the Company provided Continental AG with representations and warranties with respect to the operations of that Business, including: Conveyance of Title, Employee Benefits, Tax, Product Liability, Product Recall, Contracts, Environmental, Intellectual Property, etc. The Company also indemnified Continental AG for losses related to a misrepresentation or breach of the representations and warranties. With a few limited exceptions, the indemnity periods within which Continental AG may assert new claims have expired. Under the terms of the sales contract, the original maximum potential liability to Continental AG on an undiscounted basis is $950. However, because of the lapse of time, or the fact that the parties have resolved certain issues, at June 30, 2006 the Company has an accrual of $14.0 which is its best estimate of the potential exposure.
 
Since its incorporation in 1920, the Company has acquired and disposed of numerous entities. The related acquisition and disposition agreements contain various representation and warranty clauses and may provide indemnities for a misrepresentation or breach of the representations and warranties by either party. The indemnities address a variety of subjects; the term and monetary amounts of each such indemnity are defined in the specific agreements and may be affected by various conditions and external factors. Many of the indemnities have expired either by operation of law or as a result of the terms of the agreement. The Company does not have a liability recorded for the historic indemnifications and is not aware of any claims or other information that would give rise to material payments under such indemnities. The Company has separately discussed material indemnities provided within the last ten years.
 
The Company provided a performance bond guarantee in the amount of $10.0 related to its real estate development activities in Flagler County, Florida. The Company would be required to perform under this guarantee if certain parties did not satisfy all aspects of the development order, the most significant aspect being the expansion of a bridge. The maximum amount of the undiscounted future payments equals $10.0. At June 30, 2006, the Company has an accrual related to the expansion of a bridge in the amount of $10.0.

In December of 2002, the Company entered into a sales-type lease agreement for its corporate aircraft and then leased the aircraft back under an operating lease agreement. The Company has provided, under the agreement, a residual value guarantee to the counterparty in the amount of $44.8, which is the maximum amount of undiscounted future payments. The Company would have to make payments under the residual value guarantee only if the fair value of the aircraft was less than the residual value guarantee upon termination of the agreement. At June 30, 2006, the Company does not believe that a loss contingency is probable and therefore does not have an accrual recorded in its financial statements.
 
The Company has a number of individually immaterial guarantees outstanding at June 30, 2006, that may be affected by various conditions and external forces, some of which could require that payments be made under such guarantees. The Company does not believe these payments will have any material adverse impact on the cash flow, results of operations or financial condition of the Company on a consolidated basis in the foreseeable future.
 
Product Warranties
 
Accruals for estimated expenses related to warranties are made at the time products are sold or services are rendered. These accruals are established using historical information on the nature, frequency, and average cost of warranty claims. The Company warrants numerous products, the terms of which vary widely. In general, the Company warrants its products against defect and specific nonperformance. At June 30, 2006, the Company has a product warranty accrual in the amount of $50.9.

2006 Acquisitions
 
During the first six months of 2006, the Company spent $74.0, net of cash received, primarily for the acquisition of the following:
 
  •  A privately held company, included in the Defense Electronics & Services segment, which is a leading provider of semiconductor design services, intellectual property and product. Management believes the technology will help the Company lead the way in providing a new generation of radios for the modern soldier. As of June 30, 2006, the Company has preliminarily assigned values to the assets and liabilities of the acquired business; however, the allocation is subject to further refinement. As of June 30, 2006, the excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired of $23.7 is recorded as goodwill.
 
  •  F.B. Leopold Company, included in the Fluid Technology segment, which primarily serves municipal and industrial water and wastewater treatment facilities. Management believes this acquisition will expand ITT’s ability to provide pre-treatment filtration technology for surface water, reuse and desalination. As of June 30, 2006, the Company has preliminarily assigned values to the assets and liabilities of the acquired business; however, the allocation is subject to further refinement. As of June 30, 2006, the excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired of $37.1 is recorded as goodwill.

Research and Development expenses (“R&D”) decreased $0.9 million, or 2.0% during the second quarter of 2006 compared to the applicable 2005 period. R&D decreased $2.5 million, or 2.8% for the first half of 2006 compared to the applicable prior year periods. The decreases are attributable to the timing of project spending.
 
During the second quarters of 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded $12.5 million and $5.9 million of restructuring charges, respectively, to streamline its operating structure. Additionally, during the second quarters of 2006 and 2005, $2.5 million and $0.2 million of restructuring accruals were reversed into income as management deemed that certain cash expenditures would not be incurred. See the section entitled “Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges” and Note 9, “Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges,” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information.


27


 

During the first six months of 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded $28.3 million and $24.3 million restructuring charges to streamline its operating structure. Additionally, during the first six months of 2006 and 2005, $3.2 million and $0.2 million of restructuring accruals were reversed into income as management deemed that certain cash expenditures would not be incurred. See the section entitled “Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges” and Note 9, “Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges,” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information.
 
Operating income for the second quarter of 2006 was $226.8 million, an increase of $28.7 million, or 14.5%, compared to $198.1 million for 2005. Operating income for the first six months of 2006 was $401.9 million, an increase of $59.9 million, or 17.5%, compared to $342.0 million for 2005. The increases are primarily due to higher volume, partially offset by increased SG&A expenses.
 
Segment operating margin for the second quarter of 2006 was 12.3%, or 40 basis points, above the comparable prior year period. Segment operating margin for the first half of 2006 was 11.5%, or 90 basis points, above the comparable prior year period. The variances in segment operating margins are primarily due to improved operating efficiencies in most segments.
 
Interest expense during the second quarter of 2006 was $21.5 million, an increase of $7.6 million, or 54.7% from the comparable prior year period. Interest expense during the first half of 2006 was $41.4 million, an increase of $7.4 million, or 21.8% from the comparable prior year period. The increases primarily reflect higher interest rates.
 
During the second quarter of 2006, interest income decreased $0.7 million, or 12.7%, compared to the comparable 2005 period. During the first six months of 2006, interest income decreased $11.2 million, or 56.9%. The decrease reflects the recognition of interest income during 2005 associated with settlements of tax issues related to the 1998 through 2000 audit cycle, interest income associated with the settlement of a legacy issue during 2005, and the termination of the Company’s interest rate swaps during the fourth quarter of 2005.
 
During the second quarter of 2006, income tax expense was $63.5 million compared to $53.2 million for the comparable prior year period. The variance reflects higher taxable income in 2006 and a 50 basis point increase to the Company’s effective tax rate in 2006 due to a higher mix of domestic earnings. During the first half of 2006, income tax expense was $109.6 million compared to $64.8 million for the comparable prior year period. The variances primarily reflect the recognition of tax settlements during 2005 totaling approximately $30 million, higher taxable income, and a higher effective tax rate.
 
Income from continuing operations was $142.4 million, or $0.76 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2006 compared to $131.0 million, or $0.70 per diluted share for the comparable 2005 period. For the first half of 2006 income from continuing operations was $249.9 million, or $1.33 per diluted share compared to $252.4 million, or $1.34 per diluted share. The variances from the applicable prior year periods reflect the results discussed above.
 
During the second quarter of 2006, the Company recognized a $1.5 million loss from discontinued operations compared to $6.7 million of income from discontinued operations during the comparable prior year period. The 2006 results reflect additional activity associated with the sale of the Company’s automotive brake & fuel tubing and components business. The 2005 results primarily reflect income from the Company’s automotive brake & fuel tubing and components business.
 
During the first half of 2006, the Company recognized $46.9 million of income from discontinued operations compared to income of $1.8 million in the comparable prior year period. The increase in 2006 income primarily relates to a $45.0 million gain recognized on the sale of the Company’s automotive brake & fuel tubing and components business and the Company’s industrial non-metallic lined pumps and valves business.

Fluid Technology
 
The Fluid Technology segment had revenues in the second quarter of 2006 of $765.3 million, an increase of 5.6% from the comparable 2005 period. Revenue growth of 4.3% represented contributions from existing businesses, primarily the water/wastewater and building trades businesses. Revenues from an acquisition and foreign currency translation accounted for 0.8% and 0.5% of revenue growth, respectively. During the first half of 2006, the Fluid Technology segment had revenues of $1,451.0 million, an increase of 7.1% from the comparable prior year period. Revenue growth of 7.4% represented contributions from existing businesses, primarily the water/wastewater, industrial and building trades businesses. Revenues from an acquisition accounted for 0.8% of revenue growth, and foreign currency translation reduced revenue growth by 1.1%.
 
Operating income increased $8.0 million or 8.6% during the second quarter of 2006 compared to the second quarter of 2005. Higher volume and operational efficiencies represent 8.6% of growth. Foreign currency translation and contributions from an acquisition also provided operating income growth of 1.0% and 0.6%, respectively. The recognition of stock compensation during 2006 and higher restructuring charges lowered operating income by (1.5%) and (0.1%), respectively. During the first half of 2006 operating income was $164.6 million, or 11.3% higher than the comparable prior year period. Higher volume and operational efficiencies represent 10.9% of growth. Lower restructuring charges and contributions from an acquisition contributed 1.6% and 1.1% of growth, respectively. The recognition of stock compensation during 2006 and foreign currency translation lowered operating income by (1.5%) and (0.8%), respectively.
 
Defense Electronics & Services
 
The Defense Electronics & Services segment increased revenues 17.8% during the second quarter of 2006 to $918.5 million and increased revenues 12.5% during the first half of 2006. Higher volume in the services, tactical communications, night vision and electronic systems businesses were the primary drivers of growth. Lower volume in the space systems business partially offset the revenue gain in the first half of 2006.


29


 

In the second quarter of 2006, operating income of $100.6 million increased $15.7 million or 18.5% compared to 2005. Operating efficiencies plus higher volume drove income growth of 21.4%, partially offset by incremental restructuring costs (0.9%) and stock-based compensation (2.0%). During the first half of 2006, operating income of $196.4 million increased $33.7 million, or 20.7%. Operating efficiencies plus higher volume drove income growth of 24.2%, partially offset by incremental restructuring costs (1.7%) and stock-based compensation (1.8%).
 
Motion & Flow Control
 
Motion & Flow Control revenues increased 3.6% to $188.1 million in the second quarter of 2006, primarily driven by increased volume in the friction material and aerospace businesses. Revenues for the first half of 2006 increased $4.8 million, or 1.3% from the comparable prior year period. Revenue growth of 4.2% was generated by higher volume, primarily in the aerospace controls and marine and leisure businesses, partially offset by volume reductions in the shocks business. Additionally, foreign currency translation offset 2.9% of revenue growth.
 
Operating income decreased $6.4 million or 17.2% in 2006 compared to the second quarter of 2005. Higher restructuring costs and the recognition of stock-based compensation in 2006 accounted for (17.7%) and (1.1%) of income deterioration, respectively. Partially offsetting these declines were higher volume and operating efficiencies, which resulted in 1.6% of operating income growth. During the first half of 2006, operating income decreased $2.1 million, or (3.0%) from the comparable prior year period. Higher restructuring costs, foreign currency translation, and the recognition of stock-based compensation resulted in (6.4%), (3.1%) and (0.9%) of income deterioration, respectively. This was partially offset by higher volume and operating efficiencies, which resulted in 7.4% of operating income growth.
 
Electronic Components
 
The Electronic Components segment’s revenue increased 10.5% to $200.8 million in 2006 compared to the second quarter of 2005. Higher volume in both the Connectors and Switches businesses contributed 10.1% of growth. Foreign currency translation contributed 0.4% of revenue growth. During the first half of 2006 the Electronic Components segment’s revenue increased 8.6% to $385.8 million compared to the applicable prior year period. Higher volume in both the Connectors and Switches businesses contributed 9.9% of growth. Foreign currency translation partially offset (1.3%) of revenue growth.
 
Operating income increased $15.6 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the second quarter of 2005. The increase reflects higher volume and improved operating efficiencies and lower restructuring costs. The recognition of stock compensation during 2006 partially offset the increase in operating income. During the first half of 2006 operating income increased $22.0 million compared to the applicable prior year period. The increase reflects higher volume and improved operating efficiencies and lower restructuring costs. Foreign currency translation and the recognition of stock compensation during 2006 partially offset the increase in operating income.
 
Corporate and Other
 
Corporate expenses increased $4.2 million, or 18.2% in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the second quarter of 2005. The increase primarily reflects additional accruals for legacy environmental matters in a disposed company. During the first half of 2006, corporate expenses increased 23.5% from the comparable prior year period to $54.7 million. The increases reflect the recognition of stock based compensation in 2006, additional accruals for legacy environmental matters in a disposed company and the cost of global initiatives, including supply chain management.
 
Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges
 
2006 Restructuring Activities
 
During the second quarter of 2006, the Company recorded a $12.5 million restructuring charge, reflecting costs of $5.5 million related to new actions, $5.7 million related to actions announced during the first quarter of 2006, and $1.3 million related to prior year plans. The costs attributable to the first quarter of 2006 primarily reflect lease costs and severance. The costs associated with prior year plans primarily reflect additional severance costs.

Planned position eliminations total 1,987, including 1,325 factory workers, 590 office workers, and 72 management employees.
 
During the first half of 2006, the Company made $21.6 million of payments attributable to restructuring actions announced during 2005.
 
The projected future savings from restructuring actions announced during 2005 are approximately $66 million during 2006 and $269 million between 2007 and 2010. The savings primarily represent lower salary and wage expenditures and will be reflected in “Costs of Sales and Revenues” and “Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.”
 
2005 Asset Impairment Charges
 
During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company conducted a strategic review of the Electronic Components segment because certain businesses within the segment were experiencing lower than expected financial results. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge amounting to $8.3 million to write down certain long-lived assets to fair value. The applicable assets were written down to their fair values based upon management’s comparison of projected future discounted cash flows generated by each asset to the applicable asset’s carrying value. This impairment was unrelated to the Company’s restructuring activities.
 
The long-lived asset impairment coupled with updated financial forecasts generated in the fourth quarter represented an indicator that goodwill may also be impaired. Accordingly, the Company assessed goodwill allocated to the Switches component of the Electronic Components segment and recorded an impairment charge of $214.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. (Total asset impairment charges recorded in the Electronics Components segment in the fourth quarter of 2005 were $222.7 million.) The estimated fair value of Switches was computed principally based upon the present value of future cash flows (Discounted Cash Flow Method), historical results and comparative market data. This impairment was also unrelated to the Company’s restructuring activities.


32


 

As a result of the strategic review, described above, the Company has decided to dispose of the Switches component of the Electronic Components segment. The Company is in the process of preparing this business for sale. The Switches business within the Electronic Components segment is reported in continuing operations for all periods presented.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Sources and Uses of Cash:
 
Operating
 
The Company generated $120.9 million of cash from operating activities during the six months of 2006. During the first six months of 2005, the Company generated $148.1 million in cash from operating activities. The difference in cash generated from operating activities is primarily due to approximately $96.4 million of additional tax payments in 2006, mainly resulting from higher domestic income, partially offset by $62.8 million decrease in cash invested in accounts receivable.
 
In both the first six months of 2006 and 2005, a $100 million voluntary pre-funding of pension obligations was made.
 
Investing
 
Additions to Plant, Property and Equipment:
 
Capital expenditures during the first six months of 2006 were $64.8 million, an increase of $0.7 million from the first six months of 2005. The increase primarily reflects increased investments by the Defense Electronic & Services segment.
 
Acquisitions:
 
2006 Acquisitions
 
During the first six months of 2006, the Company spent $74.0 million primarily for the acquisitions of two companies, one of which is included in the Defense and Electronic Services segment and one which is included in the Fluid Technology segment.
 
Sale of Businesses:
 
In the first quarter of 2006, the Company completed the sale of its automotive brake & fuel tubing and components business to a privately held company, for net proceeds of $198.9 million. The business, which was a component of the Company’s Motion & Flow Control segment, manufactures steel and plastic tubing for fuel and brake lines, quick-connects, and serves the transportation industry. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2006, the Company completed the sale of its industrial non-metallic lined pumps and valves business to a private equity investor, for net proceeds of $21.9 million. The business, which was a component of the Company’s Fluid Technology segment, is a leading manufacturer of pumps and valves for selected segments in the chemical, fine chemical, and pharmaceutical Corporation. The Company recognized gains on these two transactions totaling approximately $45.0 million.
 
Sale of Plant, Property and Equipment:
 
During the first six months of 2006, the Company generated $3.7 million of cash from the sale of one building in the Fluid Technology segment, and $2.8 million from the sale of land in the Motion & Flow Control segment. The remaining $3.4 million of proceeds was generated from the sale of plant and equipment across several segments. In the first six months of 2005, the Company generated $2.5 million of cash from the sale of one property and $5.2 million for the sale of plant and equipment.

In the first six months of 2006 and 2005, the Company repurchased 2.3 million and 2.8 million shares for $130.2 million and $118.2 million, respectively, to offset the dilutive impact of stock-based awards to employees.
 
On February 21, 2006, the Company effected a two-for-one stock split of its common stock. The financial statements, notes and other references to share and per share data have been restated to reflect the stock split for all periods presented.
 
Debt and Credit Facilities:
 
Debt at June 30, 2006 was $1,416.3 million, compared with $1,267.7 million at December 31, 2005. The change in debt levels primarily reflect the partial funding of the repurchase of common stock (net of proceeds from the issuance of common stock), dividend payments, and capital expenditures. Cash and cash equivalents were $755.0 million at June 30, 2006, compared to $451.0 million at December 31, 2005. The change in cash levels primarily reflects proceeds received from the sale of businesses and cash generated from operating activities.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company believes the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the Consolidated Financial Statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K describe the significant accounting estimates and policies used in preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management’s estimates. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies or estimates during the first six months of 2006.
 
Accounting Pronouncements
 
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” This statement eliminates the option of using the intrinsic value method of accounting for employee stock options (historically utilized by the Company), which generally resulted in the recognition of no compensation cost because the exercise price of the Company’s stock options granted to employees and directors equaled the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant. The provisions of the SFAS No. 123R require the recognition of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the awards as determined by option pricing models. The calculated


34


 

compensation cost is recognized over the period that the employee is required to provide services per the conditions of the award.
 
The Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first day of the Company’s fiscal year 2006. The Company’s Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 reflect the impact of SFAS 123R. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123R. Stock-based and long-term employee compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123R for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was $5.5 million and $18.3 million, respectively, which consisted of stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options and restricted shares of common stock and long term employee compensation. There was no stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options during the three months ended June 30, 2005. See Note 8, “Stock-Based and Long-Term Incentive Employee Compensation” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional details.
 
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS No. 154”), which replaces Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 20 “Accounting Changes,” and SFAS No. 3 “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements for the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle, and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principles, as well as changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that it does not include specific transition provisions. Specifically, SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods financial statements, unless it is impracticable to determine the period specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS No. 154 does not change the transition provisions of any existing pronouncement. SFAS No. 154 is effective for the Company for all accounting changes and corrections of errors made beginning January 1, 2006.
 
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109)” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 with earlier adoption encouraged. This interpretation was issued to clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this interpretation.
 
Risks and Uncertainties
 
Environmental Matters
 
The Company is subject to stringent environmental laws and regulations that affect its operating facilities and impose liability for the cleanup of past discharges of hazardous substances. In the United States, these laws include the Federal Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act. Management believes that the Company is in substantial compliance with these and all other applicable environmental requirements. Environmental compliance costs are accounted for as normal operating expenses.
 
In estimating the costs of environmental investigation and remediation, the Company considers, among other things, regulatory standards, its prior experience in remediating contaminated sites, and the professional judgment of environmental experts. It is difficult to estimate the total 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 contamination and the Company’s share, if any, of liability for such problems, the selection of alternative remedies, and changes in cleanup standards. When it is possible to create reasonable estimates of liability with respect to environmental matters, the Company establishes accruals in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted within the United States. Insurance recoveries are included in other assets when it is probable that a claim will be realized. Although the outcome of the Company’s various remediation efforts presently cannot be predicted with a high level of certainty, management does not expect that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. For disclosure of the Company’s commitments and contingencies, see Note 21, “Commitments and Contingencies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The following should be read in conjunction with Note 14 to the unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements in Part I of this report, as well as Part I, Item 3 of the Company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(d) The powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of each class or series of Preferred Stock and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and all other classes or series at any time outstanding; provided that each series of a class is given a distinguishing designation and that all shares of a series have powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof identical with those of other shares of the same series and, except to the extent otherwise provided in the description of the series, with those other series of the same class. (e) Holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall be entitle to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for the payment thereof, dividends at the rates of fixed by the Board of Directors for the respective series before any dividends shall be declared and paid, or set aside for the payment, on shares of Common Stock with respect to the same dividend period. Nothing in this ARTICLE FOURTH shall limit the power of the Board of Directors to create a series of Preferred Stock with dividends the rate of which is calculated by reference to, and the payment of which is concurrent with, dividends on shares of Common Stock.

If the assets of the Corporation are not sufficient to pay such amounts in full, holders of all shares of Preferred Stock will participate in the distribution of assets ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they are entitled or in such order or priority, if any, as will have been fixed in the resolution or resolutions providing for the 3 issue of the series of Preferred Stock. Neither the merger nor consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other corporation, nor a sale, transfer or lease of all or part of its assets, will be deemed a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation within the meaning of this paragraph except to the extent specifically provided for herein. Nothing in this ARTICLE FOURTH shall limit the power of the Board of Directors to create a series of Preferred Stock for which the amount to be distributed upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation is calculated by reference to, and the payment of which is concurrent with, the amount to be distributed to the holders of shares of Common Stock. (g) The Corporation, at the option of the Board of Directors, may redeem all or part of the shares of any series of Preferred Stock on the terms and conditions fixed for such series. (h) Except as otherwise required by law, as otherwise provided herein or as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors as to the shares of any series of Preferred Stock prior to the issuance of any such shares, the holders of Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights and shall not be entitled to any notice of meetings of shareholders. (i) Each holder of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held of record on all matters on which the holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to vote. Subject to the provisions of applicable law and any certificate of designation providing for the issuance of any series of Preferred Stock, the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall have and possess the exclusive right to notice of shareholders' meetings and the exclusive power to vote. No shareholder will be permitted to cumulate votes at any election of directors. (j) Subject to all the rights of the Preferred Stock, the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for the payment thereof, dividends payable in cash, stock or otherwise. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, and after the holders of the Preferred Stock of each series shall have been paid in full in cash the amounts to which they respectively shall be entitled or a sum sufficient for such payment in full shall have been set aside, the remaining net assets of the Corporation shall be distributed pro rata to the holders of the Common Stock in accordance with their respective rights and interests, to the exclusion of the holders of the Preferred Stock. SERIES A PARTICIPATING CUMULATIVE PREFERRED STOCK A description of such Series A Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock with the designations, voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions relating thereto is as follows: SECTION 1. Designation and Number of Shares. The shares of such series shall be designated as "Series A Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock" (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), without par value. The number of shares 4 initially constituting the Series A Preferred Stock shall be 300,000; provided, however, that, if more than a total of 300,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be issuable upon the exercise of Rights (the "Rights") issued pursuant to that Rights Agreement between the Corporation and The Bank of New York, a New York banking corporation, as Rights Agent (the "Rights Agreement"), the Board of Directors of the Corporation, pursuant to Section 23-1-25-2(d) of the Business Corporation Law of the State of Indiana, shall direct by resolution or resolutions that articles of amendment be properly executed and delivered to the Secretary of State for the State of Indiana for filing in accordance with the provisions of Section 23-1-18-1 and Section 23-1-38-6 thereof, providing for the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock authorized to be issued to be increased (to the extent that the Articles of Incorporation then permit) to the largest number of whole shares (rounded up to the nearest whole number) issuable upon exercise of such Rights. SECTION 2. Dividends or Distributions. (a) Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of shares of any other series of Preferred Stock or other class of capital stock of the Corporation ranking prior and superior to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of the assets of the Corporation legally available therefor, (1) quarterly dividends payable in cash on the last day of each fiscal quarter in each year, or such other dates as the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall approve (each such date being referred to herein as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or a fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, in the amount of $.01 per whole share (rounded to the nearest cent) less the amount of all cash dividends declared on the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the following clause (2) since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock (the total of which shall not, in any event, be less than zero) and (2) dividends payable in cash on the payment date for each cash dividend declared on the Common Stock in an amount per whole share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the Formula Number (as hereinafter defined) then in effect times the cash dividends then to be paid on each share of Common Stock. In addition, if the Corporation shall pay any dividend or make any distribution on the Common Stock payable in assets, securities or other forms of noncash consideration (other than dividends or distributions solely in shares of Common Stock), then, in each such case, the Corporation shall simultaneously pay or make on each outstanding whole share of Series A Preferred Stock a dividend or distribution in like kind equal to the Formula Number then in effect times such dividend or distribution on each share of the Common Stock. As used herein, the "Formula Number" shall be 1,000; provided, however, that, if at any time after the Distribution Record Date (as defined in that Notice of Special Meeting and Proxy Statement, dated August 30, 1995, filed with the Securities and Exchange 5 Commission by ITT Corporation), the Corporation shall (i) declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock or make any distribution on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide (by a stock split or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock or (iii) combine (by a reverse stock split or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such event the Formula Number shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the Formula Number in effect immediately prior to such event by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that are outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common stock that are outstanding immediately prior to such event (and rounding the result to the nearest whole number); and provided further, that, if at any time after the Distribution Record Date, the Corporation shall issue any shares of its capital stock in a merger, reclassification, or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then in each such event the Formula Number shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such merger, reclassification or change so that each share of Preferred Stock continues to be the economic equivalent of a Formula Number of shares of Common Stock prior to such merger, reclassification or change. (b) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution of the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in Section 2(a) immediately prior to or at the same time it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend or distribution solely in shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that, in the event no dividend or distribution (other than a dividend or distribution in shares of Common Stock) shall have been declared on the Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $.01 per share on the Series A Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive a dividend or distribution declares thereon, which record date shall be the same as the record date for any corresponding dividend or distribution on the Common Stock. (c) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock from and after the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of original issue of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock; provided, however, that dividends on such shares which are originally issued after the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and on or prior to the next succeeding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from and after such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividends on shares of Series A Preferred Stock which are originally issued prior to 6 the record date for the determination of holders of shares or Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date shall be calculated as if cumulative from and after the last day of the fiscal quarter next preceding the date of original issuance of such shares. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. (d) So long as any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends or other distributions shall be declared, paid or distributed, or set aside for payment or distribution, on the Common Stock unless, in each case, the dividend required by this Section 2 to be declared on the Series A Preferred Stock shall have been declared. (e) The holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive any dividends or other distributions except as provided herein. SECTION 3. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights: (a) Each holder if Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a number of votes equal to the Formula Number then in effect, for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held of record on each matter on which holders of the Common Stock or shareholders generally are entitled to vote, multiplied by the maximum number of votes per share which any holder of the Common Stock or shareholders generally then have with respect to such matter (assuming any holding period or other requirement to vote a greater number of shares is satisfied). (b) Except as otherwise provided herein or by applicable law, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock shall vote together as one class for the election of directors of the Corporation and on all other matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Corporation. (c) If, at the time of any annual meeting of shareholders for the election of directors, the equivalent of six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on any share or shares of Series A Preferred Stock are in default, the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall be increased by two. In addition to voting together with the holders of Common Stock for the election of other directors of the Corporation, the holders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class to the exclusion of the holders of Common Stock, shall be entitled at said meeting of shareholders (and at each subsequent annual meeting of shareholders), unless all dividends in arrears have been paid or declared and set apart for payment prior thereto, to 7 vote for the election of two directors of the Corporation, the holders of any Series A Preferred Stock being entitled to cast a number of votes per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the Formula Number. Until the default in payments of all dividends which permitted the election of said directors shall cease to exists, any director who shall have been so elected pursuant to the next preceding sentence may be removed at any time, either with or without cause, only by the affirmative vote of the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the time entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast for the election of any such director at a special meeting of such holders called for that purpose, and any vacancy thereby created may be filled by the vote of such holders. If and when such default shall cease to exist, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be divested of the foregoing special voting rights, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent like default in payments of dividends. Upon the termination of the foregoing special voting rights, the terms of office of all persons who may have been elected directors pursuant to said special voting rights shall forthwith terminate, and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced by two. The voting rights granted by this Section 3(c) shall be in addition to any other voting rights granted to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in this Section 3. (d) Except as provided herein, in Section 11 or by applicable law, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for authorizing or taking any corporate action. SECTION 4. Certain Restrictions. (a) Whenever quarterly dividends or distributions payable on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not (i) declare or pay dividends on, make any other distributions on, or redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock; (ii) declare or pay dividends on or make any other distributions or any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series A Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled; (iii) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon 8 liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock; provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such parity stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock; or (iv) purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to all holders of such shares upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights and preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine in good faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or classes. (b) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (a) of this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner. SECTION 5. Liquidation Rights. Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, no distribution shall be made (1) to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have received an amount, equal to the accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment, plus an amount equal to the greater of (x) $.01 per whole share or (y) an aggregate amount per share equal to the Formula Number then in effect times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders of Common Stock or (2) to the holders of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock, except distributions made ratably on the Series A Preferred Stock and all other such parity stock in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up; provided that in no event shall the amount or amounts, if any, exceed $100 per share plus accrued dividends in the case of involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. SECTION 6. Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash or any other property, then in any such case the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed into an amount per share equal to the Formula Number then in effect times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash or any other property 9 (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is exchanged or changed. In the event both this Section 6 and Section 2 appear to apply to a transaction, this Section 6 will control. SECTION 7. No Redemption; No Sinking Fund. (a) The shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be subject to redemption by the Corporation or at the option of any holder of Series A Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Corporation may purchase or otherwise acquire outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the open market or by offer to any holder or holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock. (b) The shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be subject to or entitled to the operation of a retirement or sinking fund. SECTION 8. Ranking. The Series A Preferred Stock shall rank junior to all other series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation, unless the Board of Directors shall specifically determine otherwise in fixing the powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of the shares of such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. SECTION 9. Fractional Shares. The Series A Preferred Stock shall be issuable upon exercise of the Rights issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement in whole shares or in any fraction of a share that is one one- thousandths (1/1,000ths) of a share or any integral multiple of such fraction which shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holder's fractional shares, to receive dividends, exercise voting rights, participate in distributions and to have the benefit of all other rights of holders of Series A Preferred Stock. In lieu of fractional shares, the Corporation, prior to the first issuance of a share or a fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, may elect (1) to make a cash payment as provided in the Rights Agreement for fractions of a share other than one one-thousandths (1/1,000ths) of a share or any integral multiple thereof or (2) to issue depository receipts evidencing such authorized fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to an appropriate agreement between the Corporation and a depository selected by the Corporation; provided that such agreement shall provide that the holders of such depository receipts shall have all the rights, privileges and preferences to which they are entitled as holders of the Series A Preferred Stock.

SECTION 11. Amendment. None of the powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of the Series A Preferred Stock as provided herein or in the Articles of Incorporation shall be amended in 10 any manner which would alter or change the powers, preferences, rights or privileges of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, provided, however, that no such amendment approved by the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to apply to the powers, preferences, rights or privileges of any holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock originally issued upon exercise of a Right after the time of such approval without the approval of such holder. ARTICLE FIFTH (a) Special meetings of shareholders of the Corporation may be called only by the Chairman of the Board of Directors or by a majority vote of the entire Board of Directors. (b) Shareholders of the Corporation shall not have any preemptive rights to subscribe for additional issues of stock of the Corporation except as may be agreed from time to time by the Corporation and any such shareholder.

The Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as then in effect, shall indemnify any person who is or was a Director or officer of the Corporation and who is or was involved in any manner (including, without limitation, as a party or a witness) or is threatened to be made so involved in any threatened, pending or completed investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including, without limitation, any action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor) (a “Proceeding”) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including, without limitation, any employee benefit plan) (a “Covered Entity”), against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to a Director or officer of the Corporation with respect to a Proceeding that was commenced by such Director or officer prior to a Change in Control (as defined in Section 4.4(e)(i) of this Article 4). Any Director or officer of the Corporation entitled to indemnification as provided in this Section 4.1(a) is hereinafter called an “Indemnitee”. Any right of an Indemnitee to indemnification shall be a contract right and shall include the right to receive, prior to the conclusion of any Proceeding, payment of any expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection

10


 

with such Proceeding, consistent with the provisions of applicable law as then in effect and the other provisions of this Article 4.

      (b) Effect of Amendments. Neither the amendment or repeal of, nor the adoption of a provision inconsistent with, any provision of this Article 4 (including, without limitation, this Section 4.1(b)) shall adversely affect the rights of any Director or officer under this Article 4 (i) with respect to any Proceeding commenced or threatened prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision or (ii) after the occurrence of a Change in Control, with respect to any Proceeding arising out of any action or omission occurring prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision, in either case without the written consent of such Director or officer.

      4.2  Insurance, Contracts and Funding. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance to protect itself and any indemnified person against any expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement as specified in Section 4.1(a) or Section 4.5 of this Article 4 or incurred by any indemnified person in connection with any Proceeding referred to in such Sections, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as then in effect. The Corporation may enter into contracts with any Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or any director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of any Covered Entity in furtherance of the provisions of this Article 4 and may create a trust fund or use other means (including, without limitation, a letter of credit) to ensure the payment of such amounts as may be necessary to effect indemnification as provided in this Article 4.

      4.3  Indemnification; Not Exclusive Right. The right of indemnification provided in this Article 4 shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which any indemnified person may otherwise be entitled, and the provisions of this Article 4 shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and legal representatives of any indemnified person under this Article 4 and shall be applicable to Proceedings commenced or continuing after the adoption of this Article 4, whether arising from acts or omissions occurring before or after such adoption.

      4.4  Advancement of Expenses; Procedures; Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings; Remedies. In furtherance, but not in limitation, of the foregoing provisions, the following procedures, presumptions and remedies shall apply with respect to the advancement of expenses and the right to indemnification under this Article 4:

      (a) Advancement of Expenses. All reasonable expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding shall be advanced to the Indemnitee by the Corporation within 20 days after the receipt by the Corporation of a statement or statements from the Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Any such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the expenses incurred by the Indemnitee and shall include any written affirmation or undertaking required by applicable law in effect at the time of such advance.

      (b) Procedures for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. (i) To obtain indemnification under this Article 4, an Indemnitee shall submit to the Secretary of the Corporation a written request, including such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification (the “Supporting Documentation”). The determination of the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall be made not later than 60 days after receipt by the Corporation of the written request for indemnification together with the Supporting Documentation. The Secretary of the Corporation shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board in writing that the Indemnitee has requested indemnification.

      (ii) The Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification under this Article 4 shall be determined in one of the following ways: (A) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined), if they constitute a quorum of the Board; (B) by a written opinion of Independent Counsel as hereinafter defined) if (x) a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined) shall have occurred and the Indemnitee so requests or (y) a quorum of the Board consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a majority of such Disinterested Directors so directs; (C) by the shareholders of the Corporation (but only if a majority of the Disinterested Directors, if they constitute

11


 

a quorum of the Board, presents the issue of entitlement to indemnification to the shareholders for their determination); or (D) as provided in Section 4.4(c) of this Article 4.

      (iii) In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 4.4(b)(ii), a majority of the Disinterested Directors shall select the Independent Counsel, but only an Independent Counsel to which the Indemnitee does not reasonably object; provided, however, that if a Change in Control shall have occurred, the Indemnitee shall select such Independent Counsel, but only an Independent Counsel to which a majority of the Disinterested Directors does not reasonably object.

      (c) Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article 4, if a Change in Control shall have occurred, the Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this Article 4 (with respect to actions or failures to act occurring prior to such Change in Control) upon submission of a request for indemnification together with the Supporting Documentation in accordance with Section 4.4(b) of this Article 4, and thereafter the Corporation shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in reaching a contrary determination. In any event, if the person or persons empowered under Section 4.4(b) of this Article 4 to determine entitlement to indemnification shall not have been appointed or shall not have made a determination within 60 days after receipt by the Corporation of the request therefor together with the Supporting Documentation, the Indemnitee shall be deemed to be, and shall be, entitled to indemnification unless (A) the Indemnitee misrepresented or failed to disclose a material fact in making the request for indemnification or in the Supporting Documentation or (B) such indemnification is prohibited by law. The termination of any Proceeding described in Section 4.1 of this Article 4, or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, adversely affect the right of the Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

      (d) Remedies of Indemnitee. (i) In the event that a determination is made pursuant to Section 4.4(b) of this Article 4 that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Article 4, (A) the Indemnitee shall be entitled to seek an adjudication of his or her entitlement to such indemnification either, at the Indemnitee’s sole option, in (x) an appropriate court of the state of Indiana or any other court of competent jurisdiction or (y) an arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association; (B) any such judicial proceeding or arbitration shall be de novo and the Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of such adverse determination; and (C) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, in any such judicial proceeding or arbitration the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Article 4 (with respect to actions or failures to act occurring prior to such Change in Control).

      (ii) If a determination shall have been made or deemed to have been made, pursuant to Section 4.4(b) or (c) of this Article 4, that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Corporation shall be obligated to pay the amounts constituting such indemnification within five days after such determination has been made or deemed to have been made and shall be conclusively bound by such determination unless (A) the Indemnitee misrepresented or failed to disclose a material fact in making the request for indemnification or in the Supporting Documentation or (B) such indemnification is prohibited by law. In the event that (x) advancement of expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 4.4(a) of this Article 4 or (y) payment of indemnification is not made within five days after a determination of entitlement to indemnification has been made or deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 4.4(b) or (c) of this Article 4, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to seek judicial enforcement of the Corporation’s obligation to pay to the Indemnitee such advancement of expenses or indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may bring an action, in an appropriate court in the state of Indiana or any other court of competent jurisdiction, contesting the right of the Indemnitee to receive indemnification hereunder due to the occurrence of an event described in Subclause (A) or (B) of this Clause (ii) (a “Disqualifying

12


 

Event”); provided, however, that in any such action the Corporation shall have the burden of proving the occurrence of such Disqualifying Event.

      (iii) The Corporation shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 4.4(d) that the procedures and presumptions of this Article 4 are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Corporation is bound by all the provisions of this Article 4.

      (iv) In the event that the Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 4.4(d), seeks a judicial adjudication of or an award in arbitration to enforce his or her rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Article 4, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Corporation, and shall be indemnified by the Corporation against, any expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee if the Indemnitee prevails in such judicial adjudication or arbitration. If it shall be determined in such judicial adjudication or arbitration that the Indemnitee is entitled to receive part but not all of the indemnification or advancement of expenses sought, the expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such judicial adjudication or arbitration shall be prorated accordingly.

      (e) Definitions. For purposes of this Article 4:

      (i) “Change in Control” means a change in control of the Corporation of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) (or any successor provision) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A (or any amendment or successor provision thereto) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”), whether or not the Corporation is then subject to such reporting requirement; provided that, without limitation, such a change in control shall be deemed to have occurred if (A) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Act) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporation representing 20% or more of the voting power of all outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in an election of Directors without the prior approval of at least two-thirds of the members of the Board in office immediately prior to such acquisition; (B) the Corporation is a party to any merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which shares of the Corporation’s common stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a merger of the Corporation in which the holders of the Corporation’s common stock immediately prior to the merger have the same proportionate ownership of common stock of the surviving corporation immediately after the merger, (C) there is a sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all, or substantially all, the assets of the Corporation, or liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation; (D) the Corporation is a party to a merger, consolidation, sale of assets or other reorganization, or a proxy contest, as a consequence of which members of the Board in office immediately prior to such transaction or event constitute less than a majority of the Board thereafter; or (E) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the Board (including for this purpose any new Director whose election or nomination for election by the shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Directors then still in office who were Directors at the beginning of such period) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board.

      (ii) “Disinterested Director” means a Director who is not or was not a party to the proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought by the Indemnitee.

      (iii) “Independent Counsel” means a law firm or a member of a law firm that neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent: (a) the Corporation or the Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party or (b) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification under this Article 4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under applicable standards of professional conduct, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Corporation or the Indemnitee in an action to determine the Indemnitee’s rights under this Article 4.

      4.5  Indemnification of Employees and Agents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 4, the Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as then in effect, may indemnify any person other than a Director or officer of the Corporation who is or was an employee or

13


 

agent of the Corporation and who is or was involved in any manner (including, without limitation, as a party or a witness) or is threatened to be made so involved in any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding by reasons of the fact that such person is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation or, at the request of the Corporation, a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of a Covered Entity against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding. The Corporation may also advance expenses incurred by such employee, fiduciary or agent in connection with any such Proceeding, consistent with the provisions of applicable law as then in effect.

      4.6  Severability. If any of this Article 4 shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article 4 (including, without limitation, all portions of any Section of this Article 4 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (ii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article 4 (including, without limitation, all portions of any Section of this Article 4 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

5.  CAPITAL STOCK.

      5.1  Stock Certificates. (a) Every holder of stock in the Corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate, which shall state on its face the name of the Corporation and that it is organized under the laws of the State of Indiana, the name of the person to whom the certificate was issued, and the number and class of shares and the designation of the series, if any, the certificate represents, and shall state conspicuously on its front or back that the Corporation will furnish the shareholder, upon his written request and without charge, a summary of the designations, relative rights, preferences, and limitations applicable to each class and the variations in rights, preferences, and limitations determined for each series (and the authority of the Board of Directors to determine variations for future series), which certificate shall otherwise be in such form as the Board shall prescribe and as provided in Section 5.1(d). Each such certificate shall be signed by, or in the name of, the Corporation by the Chairman or any Vice Chairman or the President or any Vice President, and by the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary.

      (b) If such certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent other than the Corporation or its employee, or by a registrar other than the Corporation or its employee, the signatures of the officers of the Corporation may be facsimiles, and, if permitted by applicable law, any other signature on the certificate may be a facsimile.

      (c) In case any officer who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer at the date of issue.

      (d) Certificates of stock shall be issued in such form not inconsistent with the Articles of Incorporation. They shall be numbered and registered in the order in which they are issued. No certificate shall be issued until fully paid.

      (e) All certificates surrendered to the Corporation shall be cancelled (other than treasury shares) with the date of cancellation and shall be retained by or under the control of the Chief Financial Officer, together with the powers of attorney to transfer and the assignments of the shares represented by such certificates, for such period of time as such officer shall designate.

      5.2  Record Ownership. A record of the name of the person, firm or corporation and address of such holder of each certificate, the number of shares of each class and series represented thereby and the date of issue thereof shall be made on the Corporation’s books. The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share of stock as the holder in fact thereof, and accordingly shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in any share on the part of any person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as required by applicable law.

14


 

      5.3  Transfer of Record Ownership. Transfers of stock shall be made on the books of the Corporation only by direction of the person named in the certificate or such person’s attorney, lawfully constituted in writing, and only upon the surrender of the certificate therefor and a written assignment of the shares evidenced thereby. Whenever any transfer of stock shall be made for collateral security, and not absolutely, it shall be so expressed in the entry of the transfer if, when the certificates are presented to the Corporation for transfer, both the transferor and transferee request the Corporation to do so.

      5.4  Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. Certificates representing shares of the stock of the Corporation shall be issued in place of any certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed in such manner and on such terms and conditions as the Board from time to time may authorize in accordance with applicable law.

      5.5  Transfer Agent; Registrar; Rules Respecting Certificates. The Corporation shall maintain one or more transfer offices or agencies where stock of the Corporation shall be transferable. The Corporation shall also maintain one or more registry offices where such stock shall be registered. The Board may make such rules and regulations as it may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration of stock certificates in accordance with applicable law.

      5.6  Fixing Record Date for Determination of Shareholders of Record. (a) The Board may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for the purpose of determining the shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of the shareholders or any adjournment thereof, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall not be more than sixty days nor less than ten days before the date of a meeting of the shareholders. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a shareholders’ meeting shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting and shall fix a new record date if such adjourned meeting is more than 120 days after the date of the original meeting.

      (b) The Board may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for the purpose of determining the shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or the allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or in order to make a determination of the shareholders for the purpose of any other lawful action, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall not be more than sixty calendar days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining the shareholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

      (b) Whenever there shall be annexed to any instrument of assignment and transfer executed pursuant to and in accordance with the foregoing Section 6.2(a), a certificate of the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary in office at the date of such certificate setting forth the provisions hereof, stating that they are in full force and effect, setting forth the names of persons who are then officers of the corporation, and certifying as to the employees or agents, if any, to whom any such power and authority have been delegated, all persons to whom such instrument and annexed certificate shall thereafter come shall be entitled, without further inquiry or investigation and regardless of the date of such certificate, to assume and to act in reliance upon the assumption that (i) the shares of stock or other securities named in such instrument were theretofore duly and properly transferred, endorsed, sold, assigned, set over and delivered by the Corporation, and (ii) with respect to such securities, the authority of these provisions of these By-laws and of such officers, employees and agents is still in full force and effect.

7.  DEPOSITARIES AND SIGNATORIES.

      7.1  Depositaries. The Chairman, any Vice Chairman, the President, the Chief Financial Officer, and the Treasurer are each authorized to designate depositaries for the funds of the Corporation deposited in its name or that of a Division of the Corporation, or both, and the signatories with respect thereto in each case, and from time to time, to change such depositaries and signatories, with the same force and effect as if each such depositary and the signatories with respect thereto and changes therein had been specifically designated or authorized by the Board; and each depositary designated by the Board or by the Chairman, any Vice Chairman, the President, the Chief Financial Officer, or the Treasurer shall be entitled to rely upon the certificate of the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or of a Division of the Corporation setting forth the fact of such designation and of the appointment of the officers of the Corporation or of the Division or of both or of other persons who are to be signatories with respect to the withdrawal of funds deposited with such depositary, or from time to time the fact of any change in any depositary or in the signatories with respect thereto.

16


 

given meeting, shall be deemed equivalent to notice of such meeting. The waiver must be included in the minutes or filed with the corporate records. Attendance of a shareholder in person or by proxy at a shareholders’ meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice to such shareholder of such meeting, except when (i) the shareholder attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting was not lawfully called or convened, or (ii) the shareholder objects to consideration of a particular matter at the meeting at the time such matter is presented because it is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice.

      (b) Whenever any notice of the time or place of any meeting of the Board or Committee of the Board is required to be given by applicable law, the Articles of Incorporation or these By-laws, a written waiver of notice signed by a Director, whether by telegraph, cable or other form of recorded communication, whether signed before or after the time set for a given meeting, shall be deemed equivalent to notice of such meeting. Unless the Director is deemed to have waived notice by attending the meeting, the waiver must be in writing, signed by the Director entitled to the notice and filed with the minutes or corporate records. Attendance of a Director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice to such Director of such meeting, unless the Director at the beginning of the meeting (or promptly upon the Director’s arrival) objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting and does not thereafter vote for or assent to action taken at the meeting.

      (c) No notice need be given to any person with whom communication is made unlawful by any law of the United States or any rule, regulation, proclamation or executive order issued under any such law.

11.     POLITICAL NONPARTISANSHIP OF THE CORPORATION.

      The Corporation shall not make, directly or indirectly, any contributions or expenditures in connection with the election of any candidate for federal, state or local political office, or any committee campaigning for such a candidate, except to the extent necessary to permit in the United States the expenditure of corporate assets for the payment of expenses for establishing, registering and administering any political action committee and of soliciting contributions thereto, all as may be authorized by federal or state laws.

      Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.8(a) of these By-laws, these By-laws, or any of them, may from time to time be supplemented, amended or repealed, or new By-laws may be adopted, by the Board at any regular or special meeting of the Board, if such supplement, amendment, repeal or adoption is approved by a majority of the entire Board. These By-laws, or any of them, may from time to time be supplemented, amended or repealed, or new By-laws may be adopted, by the shareholders at any regular or special meeting of the shareholders at which a quorum is present, if such supplement, amendment, repeal or adoption is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in an election of directors.
