Insituform Technologies,
Inc.
Senior Management Deferred
Compensation Plan
(Amended and Restated as of
January 1, 2008)
WHEREAS, Insituform Technologies,
Inc. initially established the Senior Management Voluntary Deferred
Compensation Plan as of February 1, 1999; and
WHEREAS, the Senior Management
Voluntary Deferred Compensation Plan is designed to provide certain
executives of Insituform Technologies, Inc. with deferred
compensation benefits in recognition of their dedicated and
valuable service to Insituform Technologies, Inc.;
WHEREAS, the Board has the right to
amend the Senior Management Voluntary Deferred Compensation Plan in
Section 9.1 thereof;
WHEREAS, the Board now deems it
necessary and desirable to amend and restate the Senior Management
Voluntary Deferred Compensation Plan in its entirety in order to
comply with the recently enacted provisions contained in Code
Section 409A and Treasury Regulations issued thereunder
(“Treasury Regulations”), and to make certain other
design changes to Plan.
AMENDMENT OF PLAN AND EFFECTIVE
DATE
NOW, THEREFORE, Insituform
Technologies, Inc. does hereby adopt this amended and restated plan
which shall be known as the Insituform Technologies, Inc. Senior
Management Voluntary Deferred Compensation Plan (Amended and
Restated as of January 1, 2008) which shall be effective as of
January 1, 2008 and which shall be governed by the terms
contained therein.
The rights, benefits and features of
this document shall apply only on and after January 1, 2008 or
such other date as may be specified or required by law or expressly
provided within the document. Although employers are not required
to comply with the Treasury Regulations prior to January 1,
2009, for the period beginning January 1, 2005 and ending
December 31, 2008, employers are required to operate
nonqualified deferred compensation plans subject to Code
Section 409A in a manner that represents a reasonable good
faith interpretation of the statute. Therefore, except as otherwise
required by the Code Section 409A “good faith”
standard and notwithstanding any provision of this document to the
contrary, an individual who incurred a termination of employment
prior to January 1, 2008 shall have his or her benefit
determined solely by the terms and provisions of the document
applicable to such individual in effect prior to January 1,
2008. An individual who incurs a termination of employment on or
after January 1, 2008 shall have his or her benefit determined
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
document.

performed in such Plan Year subsequent to the delivery of the
initial Deferral Commitment. In the event an employee does not
submit a Deferral Commitment prior to his or her Initial

forms with respect to Compensation for services performed in the
Plan Year immediately following the Plan Year in which the employee

Participant shall set forth the amount to be deferred as a full
percentage of salary and/or bonus (the Participant may designate a
different percentage of salary and bonus that is to be deferred
under this plan). In addition, the Deferral Commitment shall
specify the Participant’s initial allocation of the amounts
