Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
     The foregoing consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared from the books and records of Trinity Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Trinity”, “Company”, “we” or “our”). In our opinion, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2008, the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 have been made in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of seasonal and other factors, the results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 may not be indicative of expected results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2008. These interim financial statements and notes are condensed as permitted by the instructions to Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Stockholders’ Equity
     On December 13, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $200 million stock repurchase program of its common stock. This program allows for the repurchase of the Company’s common stock through December 31, 2009. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, 150,000 and 621,100 shares were repurchased under this program at a cost of approximately $3.8 million and $16.0 million, respectively. The shares of common stock purchased during the three months ended September 30, 2008 were cash settled in October 2008. On October 3, 2008, the Company repurchased under the program 1,994,400 shares of its common stock in a privately negotiated transaction at a cost of approximately $42.2 million. Since the inception of this program through October 3, 2008, the Company had purchased a total of 2,719,700 shares at a cost of approximately $61.1 million.
Fair Value Accounting
     In September 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 introduces a framework for measuring fair value and expands required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2008 and the impact of the adoption was not significant.
     SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market to that asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. SFAS 157 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values which are listed below.
     Level 1 – This level is defined as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company’s cash equivalents and restricted assets, other than cash, are United States Treasury instruments.
     Level 2 – This level is defined as observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The Company’s fuel derivative instruments, which are commodity options, are valued using energy and commodity market data. Interest rate hedges are valued at exit prices obtained from each counterparty.
     Level 3 – This level is defined as unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 160, “Accounting and Reporting Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51.” These new standards significantly change the accounting for and reporting of business combination transactions and noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) in consolidated financial statements. Both standards are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and are applicable only to transactions occurring after the effective date.  
     In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”), and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.
     SFAS 161 is intended to enhance the current disclosure framework in SFAS 133 and requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements.
     The provisions of SFAS 161 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The provisions of SFAS 161 need not be applied to immaterial items. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the provisions of SFAS 161.
     In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (including Partial Cash Settlement) (“APB 14-1”). APB 14-1 requires that issuers of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion to separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest expense is recognized in subsequent periods.
     The accounting for these types of instruments under APB 14-1 is intended to appropriately reflect the underlying economics by capturing the value of the conversion options as borrowing costs; therefore, recognizing their potential dilutive effects on earnings per share.
     The effective date of APB 14-1 is for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008 and does not permit earlier application. However, the transition guidance requires retrospective application to all periods presented and does not grandfather existing instruments. In June 2006, Trinity issued $450 million in 3 7/8% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2036. We plan to adopt APB 14-1 on January 1, 2009. Upon adoption of APB 14-1, we expect to revise prior periods by reclassifying $152.6 million of our Convertible Subordinated Notes from debt to capital in excess of par in the equity section of the balance sheet. Our interest expense will increase $4.5 million and $8.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, and $6.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Upon adoption, debt origination costs of $3.2 million will be reclassified against capital in excess of par.

     In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 applies to the calculation of earnings per share for share-based payment awards with rights to dividends or dividend equivalents under Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents will be considered participating securities and will be included in the computation of earning per share pursuant to the two-class method. The effective date of FSP EITF 03-6-1 is for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those years. Early adoption is not permitted. Once effective, all prior period earnings per share data presented will be adjusted retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of FSP EITF 03-6-1.
Note 2. Segment Information
     The Company reports operating results in five principal business segments: (1) the Rail Group, which manufactures and sells railcars and component parts; (2) the Construction Products Group, which manufactures and sells highway products, concrete and aggregates, and girders and beams used in the construction of highway and railway bridges; (3) the Inland Barge Group, which manufactures and sells barges and related products for inland waterway services; (4) the Energy Equipment Group, which manufactures and sells products for energy related businesses, including tank heads, structural wind towers, and pressure and non-pressure containers for the storage and transportation of liquefied gases and other liquid and dry products; and (5) the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group, which provides fleet management, maintenance, and leasing services. The category All Other includes our captive insurance and transportation companies; legal, environmental, and upkeep costs associated with non-operating facilities; other peripheral businesses; and the change in market valuation related to ineffective commodity hedges.
     Sales and related net profits from the Rail Group to the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group are recorded in the Rail Group and eliminated in consolidation. Sales between these groups are recorded at prices comparable to those charged to external customers giving consideration for quantity, features, and production demand. Sales of railcars from the lease fleet are included in the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group. See Note 4 Equity Investment for discussion of sales to a company in which we have an equity investment.
     The financial information from continuing operations for these segments is shown in the tables below. We operate principally in North America.

     In prior years, the Leasing Group completed a series of financing transactions whereby railcars were sold to one or more separate independent owner trusts (“Trusts”). The Leasing Group leased railcars from the Trusts under operating leases and subleased the railcars to independent third party customers. See Note 4 of the December 31, 2007 Consolidated Financial Statements filed on Form 10-K for a detailed explanation of these financing transactions. Future operating lease obligations of the Leasing Group’s subsidiaries as well as future minimum rental revenues related to these leases due to the Leasing Group are as follows:

Note 4. Equity Investment
     In 2007, the Company and five other equity investors unrelated to the Company or its subsidiaries formed TRIP Rail Holdings LLC (“TRIP Holdings”) for the purpose of providing railcar leasing and management services in North America. TRIP Holdings, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, TRIP Rail Leasing LLC (“TRIP Leasing”) purchases railcars from the Company’s Rail and Leasing Groups funded by capital contributions from TRIP Holdings’ equity investors and third-party debt. The Company agreed to provide 20% of the total of all capital contributions required by TRIP Holdings up to a total commitment of $49.0 million in exchange for 20% of the equity in TRIP Holdings. The Company will receive 20% of the distributions made from TRIP Holdings to equity investors and has a 20% interest in the net assets of TRIP Holdings upon a liquidation event. The terms of the Company’s 20% equity investment are identical to the terms of each of the other five equity investors. Railcars purchased from the Company by TRIP Leasing are required to be purchased at prices comparable with the prices of all similar railcars sold by the Company during the same period for new railcars and at prices based on third party appraised value for used railcars. The manager of TRIP Holdings, Trinity Industries Leasing Company (“TILC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Trinity, may be removed without cause as a result of a majority vote of the non-Company equity members. In 2007, the Company contributed $21.3 million in capital to TRIP Holdings equal to its 20% pro rata share of total capital received in 2007 by TRIP Holdings from the equity investors of TRIP Holdings. Trinity funded an additional $3.4 million and $11.9 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, pursuant to Trinity’s 20% equity ownership obligation under the formation agreements for TRIP Holdings, totaling a $33.2 million investment in TRIP Holdings as of September 30, 2008. Trinity’s remaining equity commitment to TRIP Holdings is $15.8 million, which is expected to be completely funded by the end of 2009. The Company also paid $13.8 million in structuring and placement fees to the principal underwriter in conjunction with the formation of TRIP Holdings that are expensed on a pro rata basis as railcars are purchased from the Company. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, $1.1 million and $3.8 million, respectively, of these structuring and placement fees were expensed, leaving a net unamortized balance of $4.9 million as of September 30, 2008. Such expense is treated as sales commissions included in operating costs in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2008, TRIP Leasing had purchased $900.8 million of railcars from the Company and plans to purchase an additional $499.2 million.
     Sales of railcars to TRIP Leasing and related gains for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 are as follows:

     Administrative fees for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, were $1.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively. Fees for the same period in the prior year were insignificant.
     In June 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with an equity investor of TRIP Holdings potentially requiring Trinity to acquire from the equity investor up to an additional 5% equity ownership in TRIP Holdings if the option is exercised to its fullest extent. In that event, the Company would own a 25% equity ownership in TRIP Holdings, increasing the Company’s total commitment by $12.3 million to $61.3 million, of which $33.2 million had been paid. Should this agreement be exercised, the treatment of TRIP Holdings in the Company’s consolidated financial statements does not change. The exercise period for the agreement is from September 2008 until January 2009.
     See Note 5 of the December 31, 2007 Consolidated Financial Statements filed on Form 10-K for additional information.
Note 5. Derivative Instruments
     We use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of increases in zinc, natural gas, and diesel fuel prices and interest rates, as well as to convert a portion of our variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. We also use derivatives to lock in fixed interest rates in anticipation of future debt issuances. These swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges under SFAS 133.
     Interest rate hedges
     In anticipation of a future debt issuance, we entered into interest rate swap transactions during the fourth quarter of 2006 and during 2007. These instruments, with a notional amount of $370 million, hedged the interest rate on a portion of a future debt issuance associated with an anticipated railcar leasing transaction, which closed in May 2008. These instruments settled during the second quarter of 2008. The weighted average fixed interest rate under these instruments was 5.34%. These interest rate swaps were being accounted for as cash flow hedges with changes in the fair value of the instruments of $24.5 million of loss recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (“AOCL”) through the date the related debt issuance closed with a principal balance of $572.2 million in May 2008. The balance is being amortized over the term of the related debt. At September 30, 2008, the balance remaining in AOCL was $22.9 million. The effect on the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 was expense of $1.1 million and $6.1 million, respectively. The expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to the ineffective portion of the hedges associated with hedged interest payments that will not be made.
     In May 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap transaction which is being used to fix the LIBOR component of the debt issuance which closed in May 2008. The fixed interest rate under this instrument is 4.126%. The amount recorded for this instrument as of September 30, 2008 in the consolidated balance sheet was a liability of $0.9 million, with $0.5 million of expense in AOCL. The effect on the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 was expense of $2.3 million and $3.4 million, respectively.
     During 2005 and 2006, we entered into interest rate swap transactions in anticipation of a future debt issuance. These instruments, with a notional amount of $200 million, fixed the interest rate on a portion of a future debt issuance associated with a railcar leasing transaction in 2006 and settled at maturity in the first quarter of 2006. The weighted average fixed interest rate under these instruments was 4.87%. These interest rate swaps were being accounted for as cash flow hedges with changes in the fair value of the instruments of $4.5 million in income recorded in AOCL through the date the related debt issuance closed in May 2006. The balance is being amortized over the term of the related debt. At September 30, 2008, the balance remaining in AOCL was $3.5 million. The effect of the amortization on the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 was income of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The effect on the same periods in the prior year was $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
     Natural gas and diesel fuel
     We continued a program to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in the price of natural gas and diesel fuel purchases. The intent of the program is to protect our operating profit from adverse price changes by entering into derivative instruments. For those instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, any changes in their valuation are recorded directly to the consolidated statement of operations. In July of 2008, we settled our outstanding diesel fuel hedge contracts. The effect of the settled diesel fuel contracts on the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 was income of $1.1 million. The amount recorded in the consolidated balance sheet for natural gas hedges was a liability of $2.0 million as of September 30, 2008 and $1.2 million of expense in AOCL for both derivative instruments. The effect of both derivatives on the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 was expense of $0.4 million and income of $9.5 million, respectively, including losses of $1.7 million and gains of $5.2 million resulting from the mark to market valuation for the three and nine months

periods ended September 30, 2008, respectively. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 the effect on the consolidated statement of operations was income of $0.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
     Zinc
     We also continued a program to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in the price of zinc purchases. The intent of this program is to protect our operating profit from adverse price changes by entering into derivative instruments. These instruments are short term with monthly maturities and no remaining balances in AOCL as of September 30, 2008. The effect on the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was not material. The effect on the consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was income of $0.9 million and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 was income of $1.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

Note 7. Warranties
     The Company provides warranties against workmanship and materials defects ranging from one to five years depending on the product. The warranty costs are estimated using a two step approach. First, an estimate is made for the cost of all claims that have been filed by a customer. Second, based on historical claims experience, a cost is accrued for all products still within a warranty period for which no claims have been filed. The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized related to products covered by warranties and assesses the adequacy of the resulting reserves on a quarterly basis. The changes in the accruals for warranties for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were as follows:
                                 
    Three Months Ended     Nine Months Ended

     Trinity’s revolving credit facility requires maintenance of ratios related to interest coverage for the leasing and manufacturing operations, leverage, and minimum net worth. At September 30, 2008, there were no borrowings under our $425 million revolving credit facility. After $100.4 million was considered for letters of credit, $324.6 million was available under the revolving credit facility. Interest on the revolving credit facility is calculated at prime or LIBOR plus 75 basis points.
     On October 15, 2008, the Company sent a notice to the holders of its Convertible Subordinated Notes. This notice, as required by the Indenture, notified the holders that as a result of increases in the Company’s dividend, the Conversion Rate has been adjusted to 19.2004 and the Conversion Price has been adjusted to $52.08.
     In May 2008, Trinity Rail Leasing VI LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TRL VI”), a limited purpose, indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Trinity, issued $572.2 million of 30-year promissory notes (the “Promissory Notes”) to financial institutions. The Promissory Notes were secured by a portfolio of railcars valued at approximately $743.1 million, operating leases thereon, and certain cash reserves. The Promissory Notes are obligations of TRL VI and are non-recourse to Trinity. TRL VI acquired the railcars securing the Promissory Notes by purchase from TILC and a subsidiary. The proceeds were used to repay a portion of our warehouse facility and to finance unencumbered railcars on our consolidated balance sheet. TILC entered into certain agreements relating to the transfer of the railcars to TRL VI and the management and servicing of TRL VI’s assets. The Promissory Notes bear interest at a floating rate of one-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.50%. The LIBOR portion of the interest rate on the Promissory Notes is fixed at approximately 4.13% for the first seven years from the date of issuance of the Promissory Notes through interest rate hedges. The interest rate margin on the Promissory Notes will increase by 0.50% on each of the seventh and eighth anniversary dates of the issuance of the Promissory Notes and by an additional 2.00% on the tenth anniversary date of the issuance of the Promissory Notes. The Promissory Notes may be prepaid at any time and may be prepaid without penalty at any time after the third anniversary date of the issuance of the Promissory Notes.
     In February 2008, TILC increased its warehouse facility to $600 million with the availability period of the facility remaining through August 2009. This facility, established to finance railcars owned by TILC, had $157.3 million outstanding as of September 30, 2008. The warehouse facility matures August 2009 and, unless renewed, will be payable in three equal installments in February 2010, August 2010, and February 2011. Railcars financed by the warehouse facility have historically been refinanced under long-term financing agreements. Specific railcars and the underlying leases secure the facility. Advances under the facility may not exceed 78% of the fair market value of the eligible railcars securing the facility as defined by the agreement. Advances under the facility bear interest at a defined index rate plus a margin, for an all-in rate of 3.59% at September 30, 2008. At September 30, 2008, $442.7 million was available under this facility.
     Terms and conditions of other debt, including recourse and non-recourse provisions, are described in Note 10 of the December 31, 2007 Consolidated Financial Statements filed on Form 10-K.

Note 10. Income Taxes
     On January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. See Note 12 of the December 31, 2007 Consolidated Financial Statements filed on Form 10-K for a detailed explanation of the impact of FIN 48.
     The change in unrecognized tax benefits for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was as follows:
                 
    Nine Months Ended  
    September 30,  
    2008     2007  
    (in millions)  
Beginning balance
  $ 23.7     $ 32.0  
Additions for tax positions related to the current year
    2.0        
Additions for tax positions of prior years
    5.9       1.9  
Reductions for tax positions of prior years
    (1.6 )     (11.3 )
Expiration of statute of limitations
    (0.4 )      
Settlements
          (0.5 )
 
           
Ending balance
  $ 29.6     $ 22.1  
 
           
     The additions for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, were amounts provided for tax positions previously taken in foreign jurisdictions and tax positions taken for state income tax purposes as well as deferred tax liabilities that have been reclassed to uncertain tax positions.
     The reduction for tax positions of prior years for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 related primarily to the completion of state audits in which the tax position was not challenged by the state and for which the position is now effectively settled.

Table of Contents

     The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2008 that would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized was $16.7 million. There is a reasonable possibility that unrecognized Federal and state tax benefits will decrease by September 30, 2009 due to a lapse in the statute of limitations for assessing tax. As of September 30, 2008, the amounts subject to a lapse in statute by September 30, 2009 totaled $0.4 million. Further, there is a reasonable possibility that the unrecognized tax benefits related to Federal and state tax positions will decrease significantly by September 30, 2009 due to settlements with taxing authorities. As of September 30, 2008, the amounts expected to settle or lapse in the statute of limitations by September 30, 2009 totaled $7.8 million.
     Trinity accounts for interest expense and penalties related to income tax issues as income tax expense. Accordingly, interest expense and penalties associated with an uncertain tax position are included in the income tax provision. The total amount of accrued interest and penalties as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was $10.0 million and $8.0 million, respectively.
     Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 included $(0.9) million and $1.9 million, respectively, in interest expense and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, included $(0.7) million and $1.7 million, respectively, in interest expense and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
     We are currently under Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) examination for the tax years ended 1998 through 2002 and 2004 through 2005, thus our statute remains open from the year ended March 31, 1998, forward. Due to known disagreements with the IRS on certain issues, we expect the 2004 through 2005 examination to continue for an undeterminable period as those issues are resolved at the agent and appeals levels. We expect the 1998 through 2002 examination to be completed within the next three to six months. All but one issue has been agreed upon by us and the IRS and that issue has been litigated in Tax Court. In addition, statutes of limitations governing the right of Mexico’s tax authorities to audit the tax returns of our Mexican operations remain open for the 2002 tax year forward. Our Mexican subsidiaries are currently under audit for their 2002 and 2003 tax years. Additionally our Swiss subsidiary is under audit for the 2006 tax year. We expect these non-U.S. tax examinations to be completed within the next three to six months. Our various European subsidiaries, including the subsidiaries that were sold during 2006, are impacted by various statutes of limitations which are generally open from 2003 forward. An exception to this is our discontinued Romanian operations, which have been audited through 2004. Generally, states’ statutes in the United States are open from 2002 forward.

     Trinity contributed $13.9 million and $21.6 million to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, respectively. Trinity contributed $6.3 million and $12.7 million to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively. Total contributions to our pension plans in 2008 are expected to be approximately $25.6 million.

     Stock-based compensation totaled approximately $4.9 million and $15.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. Stock-based compensation totaled approximately $5.3 million and $13.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively.
Note 14. Net Income Per Common Share
     Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Except when the effect would be anti-dilutive, the calculation of diluted net income per common share includes the impact of shares that could be issued under outstanding stock options. Anti-dilutive stock options for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 were equivalent to 0.1 million and 0.2 million shares, respectively. Anti-dilutive stock options for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 were equivalent to 0.2 million and 0.1 million shares.
     The computation of basic and diluted net income applicable to common stockholders is as follows:

Note 15. Contingencies
     Barge Litigation
     The Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Trinity Marine Products, Inc. were co-defendants in a class-action lawsuit filed in April 2003 entitled Waxler Transportation Company, Inc. v. Trinity Marine Products, Inc., et al. (Suit No. 49-741, Division “B” in the 25th Judicial District Court in and for the Parish of Plaquemines, Louisiana: the “Waxler Case”). A settlement of this case was approved by the court and became final February 9, 2008. The Court Appointed Disbursing Agent (“CADA”) has prepared an Allocation Plan and Distribution Plan for the disbursement of settlement compensation that is pending Court approval. As of September 30, 2008, based on instructions from the CADA to the settlement funds escrow agent, the Company has received $2.0 million in refund of unclaimed settlement funds.
     Other Litigation
     Transit Mix was named as a defendant in a case involving the death of an employee of an independent contractor who was working at a Transit Mix facility. A jury verdict in favor of the plaintiff was appealed and a take-nothing judgment was rendered by the Eleventh Court of Appeals, State of Texas. Plaintiffs filed a motion for rehearing in such court, which was denied. On March 22, 2007, Plaintiffs filed their Petition for Review with the Texas Supreme Court. The Texas Supreme Court denied the Plaintiff’s Petition for Review on February 22, 2008, and the Plaintiff filed a Motion for Rehearing on April 9, 2008. The Motion for Rehearing was denied by the Texas Supreme Court on June 27, 2008. On September 25, 2008, Plaintiffs filed a Writ of Certiorari with the United States Supreme Court and the Company plans to file a brief response in opposition.
     We also are involved in other claims and lawsuits incidental to our business. Based on information currently available, it is management’s opinion that the ultimate outcome of all current litigation and other claims, including settlements, in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s overall financial condition for purposes of financial reporting. However, resolution of certain claims or lawsuits by settlement or otherwise could have a significant impact on the operating results of the reporting period in which such resolution occurs.
     We are subject to Federal, state, local, and foreign laws and regulations relating to the environment and the workplace. We have reserved $8.1 million to cover our probable and estimable liabilities with respect to the investigations, assessments, and remedial responses to such matters, taking into account currently available information and our contractual rights to indemnification and recourse to third parties. However, estimates of liability arising from future proceedings, assessments or remediation are inherently imprecise. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will not become involved in future litigation or other proceedings involving the environment and the workplace or, if we are found to be responsible or liable in any such litigation or proceeding, that such costs would not be material to the Company. Other than with respect to the foregoing, we believe that we are currently in substantial compliance with environmental and workplace laws and regulations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General
     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this document.
     In 2007, Trinity Industries Inc. (“Trinity”, “Company”, “we” or “our”) purchased 20% of the equity in newly-formed TRIP Rail Holdings LLC (“TRIP Holdings”). TRIP Holdings provides railcar leasing and management services in North America. Railcars are purchased from Trinity by a wholly-owned subsidiary of TRIP Holdings, TRIP Rail Leasing LLC (“TRIP Leasing”).
     In May 2008, Trinity Rail Leasing VI LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TRL VI”), a limited purpose, indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Trinity, owned by Trinity through Trinity Industries Leasing Company (“TILC”), issued $572.2 million of 30-year promissory notes to financial institutions. The proceeds were used to repay a portion of our warehouse facility and to finance unencumbered railcars on our consolidated balance sheet. See Financing Activities.
     On December 13, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $200 million stock repurchase program of its common stock. This program allows for the repurchase of the Company’s common stock through December 31, 2009. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, 150,000 and 621,100 shares were repurchased under this program at a cost of approximately $3.8 million and $16.0 million, respectively. The shares of common stock purchased during the three months ended September 30, 2008 were cash settled in October 2008. On October 3, 2008, the Company repurchased under the program 1,994,400 shares of its common stock in a privately negotiated transaction at a cost of approximately $42.2 million. Since the inception of this program through October 3, 2008, the Company had repurchased a total of 2,719,700 shares at a cost of approximately $61.1 million.

     Revenues for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 increased as compared to the same periods in the prior year due to improved sales in all our business groups, except the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group (“Leasing Group”) for the nine month period. Revenues for the Rail Group improved due to an increase in shipments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the same periods in 2007. Revenues for the Construction Products Group improved for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 due to increased sales volumes in our highway products business offset by decreased volumes in our bridge girder business and the impact of divestitures in the concrete and aggregates businesses. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, revenues of the

Construction Products Group were also offset by lower revenues in the concrete and aggregates businesses due to adverse weather conditions in Texas and Louisiana. Inland Barge Group revenues increased primarily as a result of greater barge shipments, a change in the mix of barges sold, and an increase in raw material costs resulting in higher sales prices. An increase in structural wind towers sales was the primary reason for the increase in revenues in the Energy Equipment Group. The increase in the Leasing Group revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily the result of higher rental revenues resulting from additions to the lease and management fleet, partially offset by a decrease in sales of cars from the lease fleet. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, the decline in sales of cars from the lease fleet caused an overall decrease in revenues in the Leasing Group.

     Operating profit for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 increased as the result of overall higher revenues, an increase in the size of our lease and management fleet, and higher barge and structural wind tower sales. These increases in operating profit were offset by higher raw material costs and competitive pricing pressure in the market for new railcars.
     Other Income and Expense. Interest expense, net of interest income, was $24.3 million and $66.8 million, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 compared to $17.0 million and $47.0 million, respectively, for the same periods last year. Interest income decreased $1.2 million over the same quarter last year and $4.2 million over the same nine month period last year as a result of lower interest rates and a decrease in cash available for investment. Interest expense increased $6.1 million and $15.6 million, respectively, over the same periods last year due to an increase in debt levels. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, $4.5 million of interest expense related to the ineffective portion of interest rate hedges. The decrease in Other, net for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to a decrease in the gain on disposition of property, plant, and equipment compared to the same period in the prior year. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, the decrease in Other, net was primarily due to a decrease in the gain on disposition of property, plant, and equipment compared to the same period in the prior year, partially offset by a write-down of an equity investment in the prior year period.
     Income Taxes. The current effective tax rates of 34.5% and 37.3 %, respectively, for continuing operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 varied from the statutory rate of 35.0% due primarily to state income taxes, discrete adjustments related to foreign and state taxes, and true ups of federal deferred tax items. The prior year effective tax rates of 34.7% and 35.6%, respectively, for continuing operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 varied from the statutory rate of 35.0% due primarily to state income taxes, offset by an increase in the temporary credit to be applied against the Texas margin tax, the benefit of the domestic production deduction, and the utilization of capital losses previously not benefited. The increase in the deferred tax liability is primarily driven by the difference in the book and tax depreciation associated with the lease fleet.

As of September 30, 2008, our Rail Group backlog was approximately $2.0 billion consisting of approximately 24,130 railcars. The railcar backlog dollar value as of September 30, 2008 and 2007 was as follows:

     The total amount of the backlog dedicated to the Leasing Group was supported by lease agreements with external customers. The final amount dedicated to the Leasing Group or TRIP Leasing may vary by the time of delivery. Sales for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 included $56.8 million and $285.8 million, respectively, in cars sold to TRIP Leasing, that resulted in a gain of $6.5 million and $51.3 million, respectively, of which $1.4 million and $10.3 million, respectively, in profit was deferred based on our 20% equity interest. Sales for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 included $138.5 million in cars sold to TRIP Leasing, that resulted in a gain of $26.2 million, of which $5.3 million in profit was deferred based on our 20% equity interest. See Note 4 Equity Investment of the Consolidated Financial Statements for information about TRIP Leasing.
     Operating profit for the Rail Group decreased $39.7 million and $64.8 million, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same periods last year. This decrease was primarily due to the competitive pricing environment, increases in raw material costs, and a reserve for future losses on railcar sales. Steel costs rose significantly during the first nine months of the year and remain volatile. On certain fixed price railcar contracts, actual cost increases and surcharges have caused the total cost of the railcar to exceed the amounts originally anticipated, and in some cases, the actual contractual sale price of the railcar. A reserve for estimated losses on fixed price contracts of $2.9 million and $5.9 million was recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.
     In the three months ended September 30, 2008, railcar shipments included sales to the Leasing Group of $323.0 million compared to $235.4 million in the comparable period in 2007 with a deferred profit of $9.9 million compared to $37.3 million for the same period in 2007. In the nine months ended September 30, 2008, railcar shipments included sales to the Leasing Group of $792.3 million compared to $690.9 million in the comparable period in 2007 with a deferred profit of $64.2 million compared to $115.8 million for the same period in 2007. Sales to the Leasing Group and related profits are included in the operating results of the Rail Group but are eliminated in consolidation.

     The increase in revenues for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same periods in 2007 was primarily attributable to an increase in volume in our highway products business, sales generated by our entry into the asphalt business, and an increase in various raw material costs that have resulted in higher sales prices. These increases were offset by a decrease in volumes in our bridge girder business and the impact of divestitures in the concrete and aggregates businesses. Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were also offset by lower revenues in the concrete and aggregates businesses due to adverse weather conditions in Texas and Louisiana. Operating profit for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 decreased due to volume decreases in the concrete and aggregates businesses, unfavorable weather conditions, and increased raw material prices. Additional sales resulting in higher margins in our highway products business partially offset the declines in our concrete and aggregates businesses. Operating profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007 increased due to the increased sales in the highway products and asphalt businesses offset by lower margins in the concrete and aggregates businesses for the same reasons as the three month period ended September 30, 2008.

     Revenues increased for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same periods in the prior year due to an increase in the sales of hopper and tank barges, a change in the mix of barges sold, and an increase in raw material costs that resulted in higher sales prices. Operating profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased compared to the same periods last year due to increased revenues, a change in the mix of barges sold, and improved margins due to operating efficiencies. Operating profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 also increased due to the refund of $2.0 million in unclaimed settlement funds related to the Waxler Case, compared to a $15.0 million charge for the resolution of the Waxler Case for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007. As of September 30, 2008, the backlog for the Inland Barge Group was approximately $669.0 million compared to approximately $771.5 million as of September 30, 2007.

     Revenues increased for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same periods in 2007 due to an increase in sales of structural wind towers and products manufactured and sold in Mexico offset by lower sales in the weaker domestic container market. Operating profit increased due to the increased sales in structural wind towers and the improved margins on containers produced in Mexico. As of September 30, 2008, the backlog for structural wind towers was approximately $1.46 billion compared to approximately $748 million as of September 30, 2007.

     Total revenues increased for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period last year due to decreased sales from the lease fleet offset by increased rental revenues related to additions to the lease fleet and management fees. Total revenues decreased for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period last year due to decreased sales for the lease fleet offset by increased rental revenues related to additions to the lease fleet, growth of the per diem fleet, and management and origination fees.
     Operating profit for leasing and management operations increased for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same periods last year due primarily to rental proceeds from fleet additions. Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 included $52.6 million and $98.8 million, respectively, in sales of railcars to TRIP Leasing that resulted in a gain of $7.1 million and $16.1 million, respectively, of which $1.4 million and $3.2 million, respectively, was deferred based on our 20% equity interest. Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 included $93.8 million and $187.5 million, respectively, in sales of railcars to TRIP Leasing that resulted in a gain of $15.9 million and $30.3 million, respectively, of which $3.2 million and $6.2 million, respectively, was deferred based on our 20% equity interest. See Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for information about TRIP Leasing.
     To fund the continued expansion of its lease fleet to meet market demand, the Leasing Group generally uses its non-recourse warehouse facility or excess cash to provide initial financing for a portion of the purchase price of the cars. In February 2008, the warehouse facility was increased to $600 million with the availability period of this facility remaining through August 2009. In May 2008, Trinity Rail Leasing VI LLC issued $572.2 million of 30-year promissory notes. See Financing Activities.
     As of September 30, 2008, the Leasing Group’s lease fleet of approximately 43,910 owned or leased railcars had an average age of 4.7 years and an average remaining lease term of 4.6 years.

     The increase in revenues for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 over the same periods last year was primarily due to an increase in intersegment sales by our transportation company. The decrease in the operating profit for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to a decrease over the same period last year of $3.6 million resulting from the market valuation of commodity hedges that are required to be marked to market.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
     Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $181.9 million compared to $188.2 million of net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations for the same period in 2007.
     Accounts receivables at September 30, 2008 as compared to the accounts receivables balance at December 31, 2007 had increased by approximately 20%. We saw increases in accounts receivables for our Rail Group and structural wind towers business due to increased sales for the three month period ended September 30, 2008. Raw materials inventory at September 30, 2008 had increased approximately 27% since December 31, 2007 primarily attributable to increased steel prices.
     Investing Activities. Net cash required by investing activities of continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $648.8 million compared to $486.2 million for the same period last year. Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $854.1 million, of which $757.6 million were for additions to the lease fleet. This compares to $725.8 million of capital expenditures for the same period last year, of which $585.6 million were for additions to the lease fleet. Proceeds from the sale of property, plant, and equipment and other assets were $205.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 composed primarily of railcar sales from the lease fleet, which included $98.8 million to TRIP Leasing, and the sale of non-operating assets. This compares to $286.9 million for the same period in 2007 composed primarily of railcar sales from the lease fleet, which included $187.5 million to TRIP Leasing, and the sale of non-operating assets.
     Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $359.8 million compared to $208.9 million for the same period in 2007. We intend to use our cash to fund the operations, expansions, and growth initiatives of the Company.
     At September 30, 2008, there were no borrowings under our $425 million revolving credit facility. Interest on the revolving credit facility is calculated at prime or LIBOR plus 75 basis points.
     On October 15, 2008, the Company sent a notice to the holders of its Convertible Subordinated Notes. This notice, as required by the Indenture, notified the holders that as a result of increases in the Company’s dividend, the Conversion Rate has been adjusted to 19.2004 and the Conversion Price has been adjusted to $52.08.
     In May 2008, Trinity Rail Leasing VI LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TRL VI”), a limited purpose, indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Trinity, issued $572.2 million of 30-year promissory notes (the “Promissory Notes”) to financial institutions. The Promissory Notes were secured by a portfolio of railcars valued at approximately $743.1 million, operating leases thereon, and certain cash reserves. The Promissory Notes are obligations of TRL VI and are non-recourse to Trinity. TRL VI acquired the railcars securing the Promissory Notes by purchase from TILC and a subsidiary. The proceeds were used to repay a portion of our warehouse facility and to finance unencumbered railcars on our consolidated balance sheet. TILC entered into certain agreements relating to the transfer of the railcars to TRL VI and the management and servicing of TRL VI’s assets. The Promissory Notes bear interest at a floating rate of one-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.50%. The LIBOR portion of the interest rate on the Promissory Notes is fixed at approximately 4.13% for the first seven years from the date of issuance of the Promissory Notes through interest rate hedges. The interest rate margin on the Promissory Notes will increase by 0.50% on each of the seventh and eighth anniversary dates of the issuance of the Promissory Notes and by an additional 2.00% on the tenth anniversary date of the issuance of the Promissory Notes. The Promissory Notes may be prepaid at any time and may be prepaid without penalty at any time after the third anniversary date of the issuance of the Promissory Notes.
     In February 2008, TILC increased its warehouse facility to $600 million with the availability period of the facility remaining through August 2009. This facility, established to finance railcars owned by TILC, had $157.3 million outstanding as of September 30, 2008. The warehouse facility matures August 2009 and, unless renewed, will be payable in three equal installments in February 2010, August 2010, and February 2011. Railcars financed by the warehouse facility have historically been refinanced under long-term financing agreements. Specific railcars and the underlying leases secure the facility. Advances under the facility may not exceed 78% of the fair market value of the eligible railcars securing the facility as defined by the agreement. Advances under the facility bear interest at a defined index rate plus a margin, for an all-in rate of 3.59% at September 30, 2008. At September 30, 2008, $442.7 million was available under this facility.
     On December 13, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $200 million stock repurchase program of its common stock. This program allows for the repurchase of the Company’s common stock through December 31, 2009.

During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, 150,000 and 621,100 shares were repurchased under this program at a cost of approximately $3.8 million and $16.0 million, respectively. The shares of common stock purchased during the three months ended September 30, 2008 were cash settled in October 2008. On October 3, 2008, the Company repurchased under the program 1,994,400 shares of its common stock in a privately negotiated transaction at a cost of approximately $42.2 million. Since the inception of this program through October 3, 2008, the Company had repurchased a total of 2,719,700 shares at a cost of approximately $61.1 million.
Equity Investment
     See Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for information about the equity investment.
Future Operating Requirements
     We expect to finance future operating requirements with cash flows from operations, and depending on market conditions, long-term and short-term debt, and equity. Debt instruments that the Company has utilized include its revolving credit facility, the warehouse facility, senior notes, convertible subordinated notes, asset-backed securities, and sale/leaseback transactions. The Company also has issued equity at various times. As of September 30, 2008, the Company had $324.6 million available under its revolving credit facility and $442.7 million available under its warehouse facility. Despite the volatile conditions in both the credit and stock markets, the Company believes it has access to adequate capital resources to fund operating requirements.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
     See Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for information about off balance sheet arrangements.
Derivative Instruments
     We use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of increases in zinc, natural gas, and diesel fuel prices and interest rates, as well as to convert a portion of our variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. We also use derivatives to lock in fixed interest rates in anticipation of future debt issuances. These swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges under SFAS 133.
     Interest rate hedges
     In anticipation of a future debt issuance, we entered into interest rate swap transactions during the fourth quarter of 2006 and during 2007. These instruments, with a notional amount of $370 million, hedged the interest rate on a portion of a future debt issuance associated with an anticipated railcar leasing transaction, which closed in May 2008. These instruments settled during the second quarter of 2008. The weighted average fixed interest rate under these instruments was 5.34%. These interest rate swaps were being accounted for as cash flow hedges with changes in the fair value of the instruments of $24.5 million of loss recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (“AOCL”) through the date the related debt issuance closed with a principal balance of $572.2 million in May 2008. The balance is being amortized over the term of the related debt. At September 30, 2008, the balance remaining in AOCL was $22.9 million. The effect on the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 was expense of $1.1 million and $6.1 million, respectively. The expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to the ineffective portion of the hedges associated with hedged interest payments that will not be made.
     In May 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap transaction which is being used to fix the LIBOR component of the debt issuance which closed in May 2008. The fixed interest rate under this instrument is 4.126%. The amount recorded for this instrument as of September 30, 2008 in the consolidated balance sheet was a liability of $0.9 million, with $0.5 million of expense in AOCL. The effect on the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 was expense of $2.3 million and $3.4 million, respectively.
     During 2005 and 2006, we entered into interest rate swap transactions in anticipation of a future debt issuance. These instruments, with a notional amount of $200 million, fixed the interest rate on a portion of a future debt issuance associated with a railcar leasing transaction in 2006 and settled at maturity in the first quarter of 2006. The weighted average fixed interest rate under these instruments was 4.87%. These interest rate swaps were being accounted for as cash flow hedges with changes in the fair value of the instruments of $4.5 million in income recorded in AOCL through the date the related debt issuance closed in May 2006. The balance is being amortized over the term of the related debt. At September 30, 2008, the balance remaining in AOCL was $3.5 million. The effect of the amortization on the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 was income of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The effect on the same periods in the prior year was $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

     Natural gas and diesel fuel
     We continued a program to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in the price of natural gas and diesel fuel purchases. The intent of the program is to protect our operating profit from adverse price changes by entering into derivative instruments. For those instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, any changes in their valuation are recorded directly to the consolidated statement of operations. In July of 2008 we settled our outstanding diesel fuel hedge contracts. The effect of the settled diesel fuel contracts on the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 was income of $1.1 million. The amount recorded in the consolidated balance sheet for natural gas hedges was a liability of $2.0 million as of September 30, 2008 and $1.2 million of expense in AOCL for both derivative instruments. The effect of both derivatives on the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 was expense of $0.4 million and income of $9.5 million, respectively, including losses of $1.7 million and gains of $5.2 million resulting from the mark to market valuation for the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2008, respectively. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 the effect on the consolidated statement of operations was income of $0.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
     Zinc
     We also continued a program to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in the price of zinc purchases. The intent of this program is to protect our operating profit from adverse price changes by entering into derivative instruments. These instruments are short term with monthly maturities and no remaining balances in AOCL as of September 30, 2008. The effect on the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was not material. The effect on the consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was income of $0.9 million and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 was income of $1.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively.
Contractual Obligation and Commercial Commitments
     As of September 30, 2008, other commercial commitments related to letters of credit increased to $100.5 million from $93.3 million as of December 31, 2007. Refer to Note 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for changes to our outstanding debt and maturities. Other commercial commitments that relate to operating leases under sale/leaseback transactions were basically unchanged as of September 30, 2008.

     (i) any Person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then-outstanding securities, unless the transaction resulting in a Person becoming the Beneficial Owner of 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then-outstanding securities is approved in advance by the Company’s Board of Directors (sometimes hereafter referred to as the “Board”), excluding any Person who becomes such a Beneficial Owner in connection with a transaction described in clause (A) of paragraph (iii) below; or
     (ii) the following individuals cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the number of directors then serving: individuals who, on September 9, 2008, constitute the Board and any new director (other than a director whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest, including but not limited to a consent solicitation, relating to the election of directors of the Company) whose appointment or election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved or recommended by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors on September 9, 2008 or whose appointment, election or nomination for election was previously so approved or recommended; or

However, a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an entity (or two or more entities in one transaction or a series of transactions within any period of 24 consecutive months), at least 60% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned by stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such sale or disposition shall be considered a Change in Control of the Company for purposes of this Agreement if the Executive is not offered employment with such entity (or one of such entities) on terms comparable to those described in Section 3(g) hereof. The sale or disposition of a subsidiary or a division of the Company, or certain assets of the Company (or of a subsidiary of the Company), shall not be a Change in Control unless any such transaction or series of related transactions results in a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets as provided in subparagraph (iv) above.
For purposes hereof:
     “Affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

     (ii) the Executive’s Disability (as defined in Section 3(b) below;
     (iii) the Executive’s termination by the Company for Cause (as defined in Section 3(c) below); or
     (iv) the Executive’s decision to terminate employment other than for Good Reason (as defined in Section 3(d) below).
     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3, if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause or Disability (for purposes of this paragraph, Cause shall include all of the events set forth in Section 3(c) hereof and the following: willfully engaging by the Executive in continued misconduct which is materially injurious to the Company after having been advised in writing of the particular misconduct deemed by the Company to be materially injurious to the Company and instructed in such writing to cease any further misconduct of a similar nature) prior to a Change in Control, and it is reasonably demonstrated that such termination (i) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control or (ii) otherwise arose in connection with a Change in Control, then for all purposes of this Agreement, such termination shall be deemed to have occurred immediately following a Change in Control; in addition, if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause (as defined in this paragraph) or Disability within 90 days prior to a Change in Control, such termination shall conclusively be deemed to have occurred following a Change in Control. For further clarification, in the event of a termination of employment prior to a Change in Control that is treated as having occurred after a Change in Control, the Executive shall not be entitled to benefits under Section 4 hereof if the Executive voluntarily terminated his or her employment whether or not for Good Reason.
     (b) Disability. If, as a result of the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness, the Executive shall have been absent from his or her duties with the Company on a full-time basis for one year and within thirty days after written Notice of Termination (as hereinafter defined) is thereafter given by the Company, the Executive shall not have returned to the full-time performance of the Executive’s duties, the Company may terminate this Agreement for “Disability.”
     (c) Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement only, the Company shall have “Cause” to terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder only on the basis of:

5


 

     (i) the willful and continued failure by the Executive to substantially perform the Executive’s duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness and other than in respect of any duties inconsistent with, or more burdensome than, the Executive’s duties with the Company immediately prior to a Change in Control of the Company);
     (ii) misappropriation or embezzlement from the Company or any other act or acts of dishonesty by the Executive constituting a felony that results, or is intended to result, directly or indirectly, in gain to or personal enrichment of the Executive at the Company’s expense;
     (iii) the conviction of the Executive of a felony involving the moral turpitude of the Executive; or
     (iv) the refusal of the Executive to accept offered employment after a Change in Control which complies with the terms and conditions of Section 3(g) hereof.
For purposes of this Section 3(c), no act or failure to act on the part of the Executive shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the action or omission of the Executive was in the best interest of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for the purpose (after reasonable notice to the Executive and an opportunity for the Executive, together with the Executive’s counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that the Executive was guilty of conduct set forth in this Section 3(c) and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.
     (d) Good Reason. The Executive may terminate the Executive’s employment for Good Reason at any time after the Effective Date of a Change in Control of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following unless the Executive has given his or her express prior written consent:
     (i) a good faith determination by the Executive that there has been a material adverse change in the Executive’s working conditions or responsibilities relative to the most favorable working conditions, and responsibilities applicable to the Executive during the 12 month period prior to the Change in Control (including, but not limited to, a significant reduction in the level of support services, staff, secretarial and other assistance, office space, and accoutrements);
     (ii) the assignment to the Executive by the Company of duties inconsistent with the Executive’s position, duties, and reporting responsibilities with the Company immediately prior to a Change in Control of the Company (including, but not limited to, a reduction in the nature or scope of the Executive’s authority, powers, functions, or duties), or a change in the Executive’s titles or offices as in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control of the Company, or any removal of the Executive from or any failure to reelect the Executive to any of such positions, except in connection with the

6


 

termination of his or her employment for Disability or Cause, or as a result of the Executive’s death, or by the Executive other than for Good Reason;
     (iii) a reduction by the Company in the Executive’s base salary as in effect on the date hereof or as the same may be increased from time to time during the term of this Agreement, or the Company’s failure to increase (within 12 months of the Executive’s last increase in base salary) the Executive’s base salary after a Change in Control of the Company in an amount which at least equals, on a percentage basis, the average percentage increase in base salary for all officers of the Company effected in the preceding 12 months;
     (iv) any action by the Company which would adversely affect the Executive’s participation in or materially reduce the Executive’s benefits, in the aggregate, under the Benefit Plans, Incentive Plans, and Securities Plans; “Benefit Plans” include health and welfare benefit plans in which the Executive is participating at the time of a Change in Control of the Company (including, without limitation, the Company’s pension plans, group life insurance plan, and medical, dental, accident and disability plans); “Incentive Plans” include incentive compensation plans in which the Executive is participating at the time of a Change in Control of the Company (including, without limitation, the Company’s annual incentive compensation plan and the three-year Performance Incentive Plan); and “Securities Plans” include any plan or arrangement to receive securities of the Company in which the Executive is participating at the time of a Change in Control of the Company (including, without limitation, the Company’s Stock Option Plan, and any other plan or arrangement to receive and exercise stock options, stock appreciation rights, career shares, bridge shares, restricted stock or grants thereof).
     (v) a relocation of the Company’s principal executive offices to a location outside of Dallas County, Texas, or the Executive’s relocation to any place other than the location at which the Executive performed the Executive’s duties prior to a Change in Control of the Company, except for required travel by the Executive on the Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent with the Executive’s business travel obligations at the time of a Change in Control of the Company;
     (vi) any failure by the Company to provide the Executive with the number of paid vacation days to which the Executive is entitled at the time of a Change in Control of the Company;
     (vii) any material breach by the Company of any provision of this Agreement;
     (viii) any failure by the Company to obtain the assumption of this Agreement by any successor or assign of the Company;
     (ix) any purported termination of the Executive’s employment which is not effected pursuant to a Notice of Termination satisfying the requirements of Section 3(e) below, and for purposes of this Agreement, no such purported termination shall be effective; or

7


 

     (x) voluntary resignation by the Executive, or termination of employment by reason of the Executive’s death or Disability, at any time during either:
     (A) the 90-day period beginning on the Effective Date of a Change in Control; or
     (B) the 30-day period beginning on the 365th day after the Effective Date of a Change in Control.
     (e) Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company pursuant to Section 3(b), 3(c) or 3(d) shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a written notice which shall indicate those specific termination provisions in this Agreement relied upon and which sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated. For purposes of this Agreement, no such purported termination by the Company shall be effective without such Notice of Termination.
     (f) Date of Termination. Date of Termination” shall mean (a) if this Agreement is terminated by the Company for Disability, thirty days after Notice of Termination is given to the Executive (provided that the Executive shall not have returned to the performance of the Executive’s duties on a full-time basis during such 30-day period), (b) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for any other reason, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given, or (c) if the Executive terminates his or her employment for Good Reason, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given.
     (g) Continued Employment After Change in Control. If a Change in Control has occurred, the Executive shall not be treated as having terminated employment for purposes of this Agreement, and therefore will not be entitled to any benefits under this Agreement after such Change in Control, if (i) the unit, division, or subsidiary for which the Executive primarily provides services is spun-off, sold, or otherwise disposed of, (ii) such transaction (x) was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors of the Company who satisfy the requirements of subparagraph (d)(ii) of Section 2 above, and (y) did not originate with an unsolicited offer (as determined by the Board in good faith), and (iii) the Executive is offered employment in writing with the purchasing or continuing entity, and (iv) such purchasing or continuing entity enters into a written agreement with the Company and the Executive, which is approved by a vote of at least 2/3 of the directors of the Company who satisfy the requirement of subparagraph (d)(ii) of Section 2 hereof, which expressly, absolutely, and unconditionally assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that a successor to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company would be required as provided in Section 8 hereof (except that subparagraph (d)(x) of Section 3 shall not be applicable to any such Executive), and it shall be conclusively presumed for purposes of such agreement that a Change in Control has occurred with respect to the Executive.
     4. Severance Compensation upon Termination of Employment. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time; however, if (a) during the two-year period beginning on the Effective Date of a Change in Control, the Company shall terminate the Executive’s employment other than pursuant to Section 3(b) or 3(c) or if the Executive shall terminate his or her employment for Good Reason or (b) during any period of time after a

8


 

Change in Control has occurred but prior to either the Effective Date of a Change in Control or the date on which the Board (or shareholders of the Company, if applicable) takes any action which has the effect of rescinding or nullifying the Change in Control (or on the date a Change of Control is rescinded or nullified without the necessity of any such action), the Company shall terminate the Executive’s employment other than pursuant to Section 3(b) or 3(c) or if the Executive shall terminate his or her employment for Good Reason other than pursuant to Section 3(d)(x), then as severance pay:
     (a) The Company shall pay to the Executive in a lump sum, in cash, on or before the fifth day following the Date of Termination, an amount equal to three (3.0) times the sum of (A) the Executive’s base salary as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control or, if higher, in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination, plus the annual allowance for the Executive under the Company’s Executive Perquisite Program, and (B) the greater of (i) the average bonus (under all Company bonus plans for which the Executive is eligible) earned with respect to the three most recently completed full fiscal years (or, if the Executive has not been employed for at least three full fiscal years, all of completed full fiscal years during which he or she has been employed), or (ii) the target bonus (under all Company bonus plans for which the Executive is eligible) for the fiscal year in which the Change in Control occurs.
     (b) For a period of thirty-six (36) months subsequent to the Executive’s Date of Termination, the Company shall at its expense continue on behalf of the Executive and his or her dependents and beneficiaries, all medical, dental, vision, health, and life insurance benefits, which were being provided to the Executive at the time of termination of employment. The benefits provided in this Section 4(b) shall be no less favorable to the Executive, in terms of amounts and deductibles and costs to him, than the coverage in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control (or, if more favorable to tile Executive, immediately prior to the Notice of Termination). The Company’ s obligation hereunder to provide a benefit shall terminate if the Executive obtains comparable coverage under a subsequent employer’s benefit plan. For purposes of the preceding sentence, benefits will not be comparable during any waiting period for eligibility, for such benefits or during any period during which there is a preexisting condition limitation on such benefits. The Company also shall pay a lump sum equal to the amount of any additional income tax payable by the Executive and attributable to the benefits provided under this subparagraph (b) at the time such tax is imposed upon the Executive. In the event that the Executive’s participation in any such coverage is barred under the general terms and provisions of the plans and programs under which such coverage is provided, or any such coverage is discontinued or the benefits thereunder are materially reduced, the Company shall provide or arrange to provide the Executive with benefits substantially similar to those which the Executive was entitled to receive under such coverage immediately prior to the Notice of Termination. At the end of the period of coverage set forth above, the Executive shall have the option to have assigned to him at no cost to the Executive and with no apportionment of prepaid premiums, any assignable insurance owned by the Company and relating specifically to the Executive, and the Executive shall be entitled to all health and similar benefits that are or would have been made available to the Executive under law (including continuation coverage under COBRA).
     (c) The Company shall pay to the Executive and, if applicable, to his or her beneficiaries, in cash, on or before the fifth day following the Date of Termination, a lump sum representing the present value of the excess of (i) the benefit (expressed as a life annuity

9


 

commencing at age 65 or such earlier date as of which the actuarial equivalent of such annuity is greatest) that the Executive would have accrued under the provisions of the Company’s Pension Plan for Salaried Employees in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control had the Executive continued to be employed for an additional thirty-six months following the Date of Termination at the annual rate of compensation (exclusive of the annual allowance for the Executive under the Company’s Executive Perquisite Program) taken into account under clause (a) hereof (taking such thirty-six months into account both for vesting and for benefits), over (ii) the benefit actually accrued by the Executive under such plan. For purposes hereof, “present value” shall be determined using a per annum discount rate as established from time to time for the Company’s Pension Plan for Salaried Employees and “actuarial equivalent” shall be determined using the same assumptions utilized under such plan. In addition, with respect to the benefits attributable to the additional thirty-six months, the benefit under (i) above shall be calculated without regard to the limitations of Section 415 and Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and such amount shall be paid without regard to any vesting requirement in such plan.
     The foregoing payments shall be subject to withholding of federal, state and local income, FICA and similar taxes, if required by law.
     5. Gross-Up Payment.
     (a) Total Payments. Whether or not the Executive becomes entitled to the payments under Section 4 hereof, if any of the payments or benefits received or to be received by the Executive in connection with a Change in Control or the Executive’s termination of employment (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company, any Person whose actions result in a Change in Control or any Person affiliated with the Company or such Person) (such payments or benefits, excluding the Gross-Up Payment, being hereinafter referred to as the “Total Payments”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), the Company shall pay to the Executive an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) such that the net amount retained by the Executive, after deduction of any Excise Tax on the Total Payments and any federal, state and local income and employment taxes and Excise Tax upon the Gross-Up Payment, shall be equal to the Total Payments. For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rates of taxation in the state and locality of the residence of the Executive on the Date of Termination, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes.
     (b) Determination By Accountant. All determinations required to be made under this Section 5, including whether a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment, shall be made by the independent accounting firm which served as the Company’s auditor immediately prior to the Change in Control (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within fifteen (15) business days after the Date of Termination, if applicable, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. In the event that the Accounting Firm is also serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity, or group effecting the Change in Control, the Executive may appoint another nationally recognized public accounting firm to make the determinations

10


 

required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder), by giving written notice of such appointment to the Company within five (5) business days after the Date of Termination. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company and it shall be the Company’s obligation to cause the Accounting Firm to take any actions required hereby.
     If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive, it shall furnish the Executive with an opinion that he or she has substantial authority not to report any Excise Tax on his or her federal income tax return. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that a Gross-Up Payment which will not have been made by the Company should have been made (“Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 5(c) and the Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive.
     (c) Notification Required. The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than ten (10) business days after the Executive knows of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. The Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the thirty-(30) day period following the date on which he or she gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies the Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, the Executive shall:
     (i) give the Company any” information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim,
     (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company,
     (iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order to effectively contest such claim,
     (iv) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim, provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax, including interest and penalties with respect thereto, imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(c), the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or

11


 

forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct the Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund, or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and the Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs the Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to the Executive, on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax, including interest or penalties with respect thereto, imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance; and further provided that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of the Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and the Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.
     (d) Repayment. If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 5(c), the Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to such claim, the Executive shall (subject to the Company’s complying with the requirements of Section 5(c)) promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 5(c), a determination is made that the Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the Company does not notify the Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of thirty days after such determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid.
     6. Six Month Delay.
     (a) To the extent (i) any payment or payments to which the Executive becomes entitled under this Agreement, or any agreement or plan referenced herein, in connection with the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, and (ii) the Executive is deemed at the time of such termination of employment to be a “specified employee” under Section 409A of the Code, then such payment or payments shall not be made or commence until the earliest of (A) the expiration of the six (6) month period measured from the date of the Executive’s “separation from service” (as such term is defined in final Treasury Regulations issued under Section 409A of the Code and any other guidance issued thereunder) with the Company; (B) the date the Executive becomes “disabled” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code); or (C) the date of the Executive’s death following such separation from service. Upon the expiration of the applicable deferral period, any payments which would have otherwise been made during that period (whether in a single sum or in installments) in the absence of this Section 6 shall be paid to the Executive or the Executive’s beneficiary in one lump sum.

12


 

     (b) To the extent that any payment or payments referenced in Section 6(a) above become subject to the six month delay due to the Executive’s status as a specified employee, any such payment shall be paid into the Trinity Industries, Inc. Severance Benefits Trust, under agreement dated as of September 9, 2008, on the date on which the Executive would have received such payment without application of this Section 6, and shall be paid to the Executive at the time the Executive becomes entitled to such payment or payments under this Section 6.
     (c) The Executive has reviewed with the Executive’s own tax advisors the tax consequences of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Executive is relying solely on his or her tax advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents and understands that the Executive (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Executive’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement.
     7. No Obligation To Mitigate Damages; No Effect on Other Contracts.
     (a) The Executive shall not be required to mitigate damages or the amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer after the Date of Termination, or otherwise.
     (b) The provisions of this Agreement, and any payment provided for hereunder, shall not reduce any amounts otherwise payable, or in any way diminish the Executive’s existing rights, or rights which would accrue solely as a result of the passage of time, under any other agreement, contract, plan or arrangement with the Company.
     8. Successor to the Company.
     (a) The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Executive, expressly, absolutely and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Any failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a material breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to terminate the Executive’s employment for Good Reason. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this Section 8 or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law.
     (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal and legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Executive should die while any amounts are still payable to him hereunder, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in

13


 

accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Executive’s devisee, legatee, or other designee or, if there be no such devisee, legatee or other designee, to executor or administrator of the Executive’s estate.
     9. Notice. For purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, as follows:
If to the Company:

If to the Executive:

or such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notices of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.
     10. Miscellaneous. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.
     11. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
     12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
     13. Legal Fees and Expenses. The Company shall pay, upon written demand therefor by the Executive, all legal fees and expenses which the Executive may reasonably incur as a result of any dispute or contest (regardless of the outcome thereof) by or with the Company or others regarding the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision hereof (including as a result of any contest about the amount of any payments pursuant to Sections 4 or 5), plus in each case interest at the “applicable Federal rate” (as defined in Section 1274(d) of the Code). In any action brought by the Executive for damages or to enforce any provisions hereof, he or she shall be entitled to seek both legal and equitable relief and remedies, including, without

14


 

limitation, specific performance of the Company’s obligations hereunder, in his or her sole discretion.
     14. Continuation of Salary During Dispute. In the event of any dispute or contest by or with the Company or others regarding the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision hereof (including as a result of any contest about the amount of any payments pursuant to Sections 4 or 5), and upon written demand by the Executive, the Company shall continue to pay the Executive his or her base salary as in effect immediately prior to the date of the Change in Control. Said periodic payments shall be made in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices. Payments shall continue until final resolution of such dispute or contest either by an agreement between the Executive and the Company or formal order of a court with proper jurisdiction. In the event that the Company substantially prevails in such dispute, the Executive shall be obligated to repay to the Company all amounts he or she has received under this Section 14 (after taxes applicable thereto) plus interest at the “applicable Federal rate” (as defined in Section 1274(d) of the Code).
     15. Confidentiality. The Executive shall retain in confidence any and all confidential information known to the Executive concerning the Company and its business so long as such information is not otherwise publicly disclosed.
     16Modification. No change or modification of this Agreement shall be valid or binding upon the parties unless the change or modification is in writing and signed by the parties.
     17. Subsidiaries. In this Agreement, there are numerous references to the Executive’s employment by and duties with the Company, payment of benefits and compensation by the Company, and termination of employment with the Company. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the Executive may be employed, currently or at some time in the future, by a subsidiary of the Company. As used in this Agreement, a subsidiary means an entity which is at least 80% owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company. It is the parties’ intention that transfer of the Executive’s employment from the Company to a subsidiary or from one subsidiary to another subsidiary will not constitute a termination of employment with the Company for any reason hereunder unless otherwise specifically provided herein. In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein (including Section 3(g)), “termination of employment with the Company” shall mean termination of employment with the Company and all of its subsidiaries, and “termination of employment by Company” shall mean termination of employment by the entity which actually employs the Executive. Other references to employment by the Company, duties with the Company, and salary and benefits shall include employment, duties, salary, and benefits with respect to the entity which actually employs the Executive. However, with respect to the definition of Change in Control of the Company, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, references to the Company shall mean only the Company, and the obligations under Sections 4 and 5 herein shall be obligations of the Company.

TRINITY INDUSTRIES, INC.
SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN
     TRINITY INDUSTRIES, INC., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”), hereby restates the TRINITY INDUSTRIES, INC. SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN (the “Plan”), such restatement to be effective as of January 1, 2009;
WITNESSETH:
     WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Plan, effective January 1, 1990, to provide a supplemental retirement benefit to certain of its highly compensated employees that approximates the additional retirement benefit such employees would have received under a Company defined benefit pension plan, if such pension benefit were determined without regard to the limitations on compensation and benefits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (the “Code”); and
     WHEREAS, it is intended that the Plan be an “unfunded” deferred compensation arrangement for a select group of management or highly compensated personnel for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time (“ERISA”); and
     WHEREAS, the Plan has been operated in good faith compliance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, as amended by the American Job Creation Act of 2004, effective January 1, 2005; and
     WHEREAS, in accordance with the transition rules provided under Code Section 409A, the Company now desires to amend and restate the Plan, effective January 1, 2009, to meet the applicable requirements of Code Section 409A, and intends that the Plan be interpreted and administered in accordance with Code Section 409A and the final Treasury Regulations and applicable administrative guidance issued thereunder on and after January 1, 2005.
     NOW, THEREFORE, the Company hereby agrees as follows:

Purpose
1.01   Coordination with Base Plan
 
    To the extent permitted under applicable law, including, but not limited to, Code Section 409A, the calculation of accrued benefits under the Plan shall be made in coordination with the Base Plan.

Designation of Participants

ARTICLE IV
Plan Benefits
4.01   Calculation of Plan Benefit
  (a)   Basic Plan Benefit. Benefits under the Plan shall be actuarially computed amounts payable to a Participant or Beneficiary so that the annual payments such Participant or Beneficiary shall receive from the Plan (as limited by paragraph (c) below) shall equal the amount of the payments which the Participant would have received at Retirement under the Base Plan except for the operation of the limits under Code Sections 401(a)(17) and 415, as those limits are described by the Base Plan.
 
      The benefit payable under the Plan will be reduced by the amount of plan benefits actually payable to the Participant or Beneficiary under the Base Plan upon Retirement.
 
  (b)   Determination of Compensation. If the applicable Base Plan is the Trinity Industries, Inc. Standard Pension Plan, the Participant’s “accrued benefit” under such plan will be determined by taking into account, as “compensation”, amounts otherwise excluded as a result of their deferral under the Supplemental Profit Sharing Plan for Employees of Trinity Industries, Inc. and Certain Affiliates. For purposes of this paragraph, any compensation deferred is treated as compensation for benefit calculation purposes under the Plan only in the year(s) payment would otherwise have been made but for the deferral.
 
      In addition, the annual “compensation” used when calculating the benefit under Section 4.01 shall include incentive compensation earned under the Company’s Incentive Compensation Agreement when such compensation is earned, irrespective of when such compensation is actually paid. To be included as “compensation” under Section 4.01, however, the incentive compensation must ultimately be paid to the Participant.
 
  (c)   Subsequent Reductions Under Base Plan. The Plan shall not compensate any Participant or Beneficiary for any adverse effects to the Participant which result in a reduction of benefits available from the Base Plan due to changes in the Base Plan benefit formula, social security laws or other laws and rules.
4.02   Time and Form of Plan Payments
  (a)   Amounts Subject to Code Section 409A
  (1)   Election of Form of Distribution. Within thirty (30) days following receipt of a written explanation of the terms of and the benefits provided under the Plan, but not later than thirty (30) days

7


 

      following the first day of the Employer’s taxable year immediately following the first year during which the Participant accrues a benefit under this Plan, each Participant must make an irrevocable election as to the form of payment in a manner that is approved by the Committee. Such election shall apply to all Amounts Subject to Code Section 409A. The Participant may elect to receive a distribution of such amounts in any form available under the terms of the Base Plan as of the date of his election, and an election of a form of distribution under this Plan need not be the same as the Participant’s corresponding election under the Base Plan.
  (i)   If an eligible Employee is participating in the Plan in 2008 and desires to file or modify a previously-filed election, he must complete such an election or modification and file it with the Committee on or before December 31, 2008; provided, however, that a Participant may not file a modified distribution election in 2008 that has the effect of deferring payment of amounts the Participant would otherwise receive in 2008 or cause payments to be made in 2008 that would otherwise be made subsequent to 2008. Such an election shall not be treated as a change in the form of a payment under Section 409A(a)(4) of the Code or an acceleration of a payment under Section 409A(a)(3) of the Code.
 
  (ii)   A modification of a Participant’s previous election related to the distribution of Amounts Subject to Code Section 409A may be filed by a Participant with the Committee provided:
  (A)   Such modification shall not be effective for at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the modification is filed with the Committee;
 
  (B)   Other than distributions made on account of death or Disability, any distributions to which such modification relates shall be deferred for a period of five (5) years from the date such distributions would otherwise have commenced; and
 
  (C)   With respect to a distribution made in accordance with Section 4.02(a)(2)(A) below, such a modification may not be accepted by the Committee less than twelve (12) months before the date on which distributions were previously scheduled to begin under the Plan.

8


 

  (2)   Timing of Distribution. Except as otherwise provided, Amounts Subject to Code Section 409A that are payable under the Plan to a Participant who is eligible to receive benefits from the Base Plan shall commence as of:
  (A)   The first day of the first month next following the Participant’s attainment of age 65; or
 
  (B)   If a Participant Separates from Service before attaining age 65, the first day of the first month next following the Participant’s Separation from Service.
  (3)   Required Delay for Key Employees. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, if a Participant is a Key Employee and Separates from Service for a reason other than death, such Participant’s distribution with respect to Amounts Subject to Code Section 409A may not commence earlier than six (6) months from the date of his Separation from Service. If it is determined that compliance with Code Section 409A necessitates distribution on a date certain, such distribution shall be made, or begin to be made, on the date that is six (6) months following the date on which the Participant Separates from Service.
 
  (4)   Distribution for Disability. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event a Participant becomes Disabled, he shall receive a distribution of Amounts Subject to Code Section 409A equal to the amount calculated in the same manner as under Section 4.02(a)(5)(ii) below, except that (i) when applying Section 4.02(a)(5)(ii), the term “Separation from Service” shall be replaced by “Disability” in each place where it appears therein, and (ii) such distribution shall not include Amounts Not Subject to Code Section 409A. Distribution shall be in the form elected by the Participant under Section 4.02(a)(i) and shall commence immediately upon certification by the Committee that the Participant is Disabled.
 
  (5)   Forfeiture.
  (i)   General Rule. Benefits under the Plan will be paid only to supplement benefit payments actually made from the Base Plan. If benefits are not payable under the Base Plan because the Participant has failed to vest or for any other reason, no payments will be made under the Plan with respect to such Base Plan.
 
  (ii)   Change in Control. Notwithstanding paragraph (i), in the event that the Participant Separates from Service for any reason (other than due to death or Disability) prior to being

9


 

      eligible to receive Retirement benefits under the Base Plan but upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, then such Participant shall not forfeit his right to benefits hereunder and shall be entitled to a benefit calculated in accordance with Section 4.01. Such amount shall be payable to the Participant in a lump sum cash payment within five (5) days following such Separation from Service.
  (iii)   Compliance with Code Section 409A. For purposes of this Section 4.02(a)(5), Change in Control shall have the meaning set forth under Section 4.02(b)(5)(ii), except no distribution shall be made with respect to Amounts Subject to Code Section 409A upon a Change in Control unless such event or transaction constitutes a “change in ownership”, “change in effective control”, or “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company, within the meaning of Code Section 409A, Treasury Regulation 1.409A-3(i)(5), or other administrative guidance in effect at the time of the event or transaction. The occurrence of a Change in Control will be determined and certified by the Committee strictly in accordance with the foregoing sentence; the Committee may not exercise discretion in applying the requirements of the Code, Treasury Regulations, or other relevant guidance in the determination of the occurrence of a Change in Control. Notwithstanding the preceding, if Treasury Regulations or other guidance to be issued with respect to Code Section 409A provide that an accelerated payment due to Change in Control is not permitted, then such distribution shall be made at the time and in the manner specified in Section 4.02(a)(1).
  (b)   Amounts Not Subject to Code Section 409A
  (1)   Form of Payment. Except as provided in Section 4.02(b)(5), the Amounts Not Subject to Code Section 409A payable under the Plan to a Participant who is eligible to receive benefits from the Base Plan shall be made in the form of a single life annuity for the life of the Participant with a ten-year period certain and shall commence at age 65. In calculating the amount of a Participant’s benefit payments hereunder, the Participant’s benefit shall be calculated pursuant to Section 4.01 of the Plan assuming that the Base Plan benefit is to commence at the same time that benefit payments are to commence hereunder and will be made in the form of a single life annuity for the life of the Participant with a ten-year period certain (without regard to when the Participant has elected

10


 

      to have such Base Plan benefit commence and without regard to the form of the benefit selected under the Base Plan).
  (2)   Modifying the Form of Payment. Notwithstanding the provisions of (1) above, with respect to Amounts Not Subject to Code Section 409A a Participant may elect a form of benefit payment under the Plan other than the form described above from among those optional forms of benefit payments available under the Base Plan at the time of the election, and/or may elect to begin the commencement of benefit payments prior to attaining age 65, with the payment amount adjusted to reflect the different form of distribution or commencement date using the actuarial assumptions provided in the Base Plan. Such an election may be made by a Participant only once during any calendar year, and the election will be effective only if the election is made more than twelve (12) months prior to the earlier of (i) the date benefit payments would commence under the Plan without regard to the election or (ii) the date benefit payments would commence under the Plan pursuant to the election.
 
  (3)   Timing of Payments. Except as provided in Section 4.02(b)(5), benefits payable under the Plan will be paid in coordination with any benefits payable to a Participant from the Base Plan.
 
  (4)   Acceleration of Amounts Not Subject to Code Section 409A. The preceding provisions of this Section 4.02(b) to the contrary notwithstanding, any Participant (or beneficiary of a deceased Participant) who has commenced receiving benefit payments under the Plan and who has more than one benefit payment remaining to be paid may elect in writing on a form that is approved by the Committee to waive his right to continue receiving benefit payments hereunder and in lieu thereof receive one lump sum payment in an amount equal to 90% of the present value of the benefit payments remaining to be paid at the time of such lump sum payment. The present value shall be determined using the actuarial assumptions that would be used for calculating lump sum distributions under the Base Plan, and the payment will be made in cash to the Participant (or beneficiary of a deceased Participant) no later than fifteen (15) days following receipt of his election by the Committee. In the event that Participant (or beneficiary of a deceased Participant) receives a lump sum payment in accordance with this provision, no further benefits will be owed to or on account of such Participant under the Plan and the remaining ten percent (10%) of the present value of the monthly payments shall be forfeited.
 
  (5)   Forfeiture.

11


 

  (i)   General Rule. If a Participant Separates from Service with the Company prior to his eligibility to receive early, normal or late Retirement benefits under the Base Plan, he shall forfeit all right, for himself and his Beneficiary, to any benefits under this Plan; provided, however, that in the event that such Separation from Service occurs for any reason (other than death or Disability) upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, then such Participant shall not forfeit his right to benefits hereunder and shall be entitled to a benefit calculated in accordance with Section 4.01. Such amount shall be payable to the Participant in a lump sum cash payment within five (5) days following such termination.
 
  (ii)   Change in Control. For purposes of this Section, a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred if the event set forth in any one of the following paragraphs shall have occurred:
  (A)   Any Person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing thirty percent (30%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities unless the transaction resulting in a Person becoming the Beneficial Owner of thirty percent (30%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities is approved in advance by the Board, excluding any Person who becomes such Beneficial Owner in connection with a transaction described in clause (i) of paragraph (c) below;
 
  (B)   The following individuals cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the number of directors then serving: individuals who, on September 9, 2008, constitute the Board and any new director (other than a director whose initial assumption of office in connection with an actual or threatened election contest, including but not limited to a consent solicitation, relating to the election of directors of the Company) whose appointment or election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved or recommended by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors on September 9, 2008, or whose appointment, election or nomination for election was previously so

12


 

      approved or recommended;
  (C)   There is consummated a merger or consolidation of the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company with any other corporation, other than (i) a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity of any parent thereof) at least sixty percent (60%) of the combined voting power of the securities of the Company or such surviving entity or any parent thereof outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or (ii) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no Person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (not including in the securities Beneficially Owned by such Person any securities acquired directly from the Company or its Affiliates other than in connection with acquisitions by the Company or its Affiliates of a business representing thirty percent (30%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or
 
  (D)   The Company’s stockholders approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or a sale or disposition (whether by reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, split-off, combination, subdivision, or other similar corporate transaction or event) by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (in one transaction or a series of transactions within any period of twenty four (24) consecutive months) other than a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an entity, at least sixty percent (60%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned by stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such sale. However, a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an entity (or two or more

13


 

      entities in one transaction or a series of transactions within any period of twenty four (24) consecutive months), at least sixty percent (60%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned by the Company’s stockholders in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such sale or disposition shall be considered a Change in Control for purposes of this Section if the Participant is not offered comparable employment with such entity (or one of such entities). The sale or disposition of a subsidiary or a division of the Company, or certain assets of the Company (or of a subsidiary of the Company), shall not be a Change in Control unless any such transaction or series of related transactions results in a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.
4.03   Distributions Following Plan Termination
 
    If the Plan is terminated pursuant to the provisions of Article VI hereof, the Committee shall cause the Employer to pay to all Participants all of the vested amounts then standing to their credit, in accordance with the applicable provisions of Article VI.
 
4.04   Payment Upon Death of Participant
 
    In the event of an Employee’s death on or after Retirement, the Employer shall make any payments called for hereunder to his Beneficiary. Any payment made by the Employer in good faith shall fully discharge the Employer from its obligations with respect to such payment, and the Employer shall have no further obligation to see to the application of any money so paid.
 
4.05   Funding
 
    Contributions by the Employer to pay benefits under the Plan will be made solely out of the general assets of the Employer. Nothing contained in the Plan and no action taken pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Employer or the Plan and any Employee or any other person. Any funds which may be set aside or invested relative to the Plan shall continue for all purposes to be a part of the general funds of the Employer and no person other than the Employer shall, by virtue of the provisions of the Plan, have any interest in such funds. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payment from the Employer under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Employer.

The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event it is determined by the Board, in its sole and unfettered discretion, that any provision in the Plan results in a violation of the requirements of Code Section 409A and any guidance issued thereunder, the Board, and any authorized officer so appointed by the Board, shall have the power to unilaterally modify or eliminate any such provision.
6.04   Liability of Successor
 
    If the Company should reorganize, consolidate or merge with another entity, the Plan shall become an obligation of the new entity or of any business taking over the assets, duties or responsibilities of the Company.

TRINITY INDUSTRIES, INC.
NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
     THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of ______ __, ___(“Grant Date”) by and between Trinity Industries, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“Company”), and name (“Director”), is entered into as follows:
     WHEREAS, the Company has established the Trinity Industries, Inc. 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (“Plan”), and which Plan is made a part hereof;
     WHEREAS, terms defined in the Plan shall have the same meaning in this Agreement unless otherwise specifically stated; and
     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that the Director be granted Restricted Stock Units subject to the terms of the Plan and the terms stated below, as hereinafter set forth;
     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1.   Grant of Units
 
    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and of the Plan, the Company hereby credits to a separate account maintained on the books of the Company (“Account”) ___ Restricted Stock Units (“Units”). Each Unit shall be subject to conversion into a share of the Company’s $1.00 par value Common Stock (“Stock”) as herein provided.
 
2.   Vesting Schedule
 
    The interest of the Director in the Units shall vest as to 100% of such Units on the first business day immediately preceding the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, or earlier upon death, a “Change of Control” as defined by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, or with the consent of the Board of Directors of the Company.
 
3.   Restrictions
 
    The Units granted hereunder may not be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred and may not be subject to lien, garnishment, attachment or other legal process.
 
4.   Dividend Equivalents
 
    If on any date the Company shall pay any dividend or other distribution on the Stock (other than a dividend in Stock), the Director shall be paid an amount in cash for each Unit equal to the amount of dividend or distribution paid on the Stock, less any amounts required to be held for federal, state or local withholding taxes.

 


 

5.   Changes in Stock
 
    In the event of any change in the number and kind of outstanding shares of Stock by reason of a subdivision or consolidation of the Stock or the payment of a stock dividend (but only in Stock) or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of Stock effected without receipt of consideration, the Company shall make an appropriate adjustment in the number and terms of the Units credited to the Director’s Account so that, after such adjustment, the Units shall represent a right to receive the same number of shares of Stock that the Director would have received in connection with such increase or decrease in shares of Stock as if Director had owned on the applicable record date a number of shares of Stock equal to the number of Units credited to the Director’s Account prior to such adjustment.
 
6.   Form and Timing of Payment
 
    The Company shall distribute to the Director a number of shares of Stock equal to the aggregate number of vested Units credited to the Director within 60 days from the date of the Director’s “Separation from Service” as defined by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code or earlier upon a “Change of Control” as defined by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
7.   Taxes
 
    The Director shall be liable for any and all taxes, including required withholding taxes, arising out of this grant or the vesting of Units hereunder. The Director may elect to satisfy any minimum withholding tax obligation that the Company is required to make by making an election for the Company to retain Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the Company’s withholding obligation.
 
8.   Miscellaneous
  (a)   All amounts credited to the Director’s Account under this Agreement shall continue for all purposes to be a part of the general assets of the Company. The Director’s interest in the Account shall make Director only a general, unsecured creditor of the Company.
 
  (b)   The parties agree to execute such further instruments and to take such action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement.
 
  (c)   Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon delivery to the Director at Director’s address then on file with the Company.
 
  (d)   Neither the Plan nor this Agreement nor any provisions under either shall be construed so as to grant the Director any right to remain as a Director of the Company.
 
  (e)   Except as provided in paragraph 4 hereof, nothing herein shall be construed as to grant Director any stock ownership rights commonly associated with stock ownership including voting rights until such time as shares of Stock are issued to the Director in accordance with paragraph 6 hereof.

 


 

  (f)   This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
 
  (g)   This Agreement may be changed or modified by written amendment, without Director’s consent or signature, if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that such change or modification is necessary for purposes of compliance with or exemption from the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and any regulations or other guidance issued thereunder.
     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been executed by the parties as of the day and year first hereinabove written.
