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:

ARTICLE I

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. The distribution of such accrued benefits, however, will be made in accordance with the terms of Article IV of this Plan.

 

 

 

1.02

 

Duration of Plan

 

 

 

 

 

The Company hopes and expects to continue the Plan indefinitely, but reserves the right to amend it or terminate it in any respect and at any time or from time to time, to the extent provided in Article VI hereof.

 

 

 

1.03

 

Applicability

 

 

 

 

 

This Plan shall apply only to an Employee who begins receiving benefits from a Base Plan after January 1, 1990, as determined by the Committee. The provisions of this restatement of the Plan shall apply to a Participant who Separates from Service on or after January 1, 2005. In the case of a Participant who Separates from Service prior to January 1, 2005, the rights and benefits, if any, of such former Employee shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Plan as in effect on the date of his Separation from Service.

Designation of Participants

3.01

 

Eligibility to Participate

 

 

 

 

 

The Committee shall meet as necessary to verify the eligibility of Participants. Participation will be determined solely by the Committee, and an Employee will not commence participation in the Plan until notified by the Committee of both his eligibility and the terms and benefits of the Plan.

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
