                              AMENDED AND RESTATED
                    DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN AND AGREEMENT
                             AS OF DECEMBER 12, 2001

THIS PLAN AND AGREEMENT made and entered into as of the 12th day of December
2001, between TRINITY INDUSTRIES, INC., a Delaware Corporation with its
principle office at 2525 Stemmons Freeway, Dallas, Texas 75207 (hereinafter
called the "Company") and _______________, an individual (hereinafter called
"Officer");

                                   WITNESSETH:

          WHEREAS, Officer is in the employ of the Company and serves in a
capacity which will develop and expand the business of the Company; and

          WHEREAS, in recognition of Officer's valued services as an employee
and officer of the Company, and as an inducement to Officer to continue to serve
the Company in the future, the Company desires to provide certain benefits for
Officer and his designated beneficiary through a plan of deferred compensation,
as hereinafter set forth; and

          WHEREAS, Officer is willing to remain in the employ of the Company and
to have the Company defer a portion of his annual compensation in order to
provide such benefits, as hereinafter set forth.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the terms,
conditions and covenants hereinafter set forth, The Company and Officer hereby
agree as follows:

          1. Deferred Compensation Account. The Company shall establish an
account on the books of the Company in the name of Officer to which will be
accrued deferred compensation in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of
Officer's combined annual base salary and incentive compensation, payable in the
manner and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth. Base salary is
defined as that amount specifically approved by the Company as base salary and
excludes other payments such as car allowance, insurance reimbursements, etc.
Incentive compensation shall mean all amounts earned under a specific plan for a
given year whether payable currently or over a period of future years. Credits
to such account will accrue annually, at the rate of ten per cent (10%) of
Officers combined annual base salary and incentive compensation, commencing with
the Officer's hire date, _______________ and, subject to the annual review of
this Plan by the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors of the
Company, continuing in like matter for each of the Company's fiscal years
thereafter for so long as Officer shall continue his active, full-time
employment with the Company.

          2. Administration of Account. The Company shall have the right to
segregate from the other general assets of the Company the sums which accrue
monthly hereunder as deferred compensation. Officer's deferred compensation
account shall be credited with interest at the prime rate as published by Chase
Bank of Texas, N.A. or its successor until January 1, 2002, at which time
Officer's deferred compensation account shall be credited with interest at the
LIBOR rate plus 6 points as published by the Wall Street Journal. Neither
Officer or his designated

<PAGE>

beneficiary shall at any time have any interest in accrued sums which are so
segregated and/or invested and reinvested, and such funds, as they are from time
to time constituted, shall at all times remain assets of the Company subject to
the claims of the general creditors of the Company.

         3. Payment of Deferred Compensation. Subject to the conditions
hereinafter set forth, the deferred compensation accrued hereunder and shown to
Officer's credit on the books of the Company shall be payable upon the
termination of the active, full-time employment of Officer for any reason
whatsoever, and shall be paid in such form as Officer may elect from the
following two alternatives:

                  (i)      Payment may be made in annual periodic payments for
                           specified number of years, not fewer than 1 nor in
                           excess of 20, with the first payment to be made one
                           (1) year and one (1) day from the date in which
                           Officer's termination occurs and subsequent payments
                           to be made on the same date of each succeeding year,
                           where the payment made during each year shall be in
                           an amount equal to a fraction of the amount shown to
                           Officer's credit on the books of the Company as of
                           the last day of the month preceding the month in
                           which the payment is made, and where such fraction
                           for each payment shall be one (1) divided by the
                           number of payments remaining (including the current
                           payment). Notwithstanding the preceding, at any time
                           prior to receipt of all remaining installments under
                           this paragraph, Officer (of Officer's beneficiary in
                           the event of Officer's death) may elect a lump sum
                           payment in an amount equal to the total amount
                           remaining shown to Officer's credit on the books of
                           the Company as of the last day of the month preceding
                           the month in which the election is made, minus a
                           forfeiture amount equal to 10% of such total amount.

                  (ii)     Complete payment may be made in a lump sum paid on
                           the first day of the month following the date of
                           Officer's termination of employment.

Officer's election pursuant to this paragraph must be made as of the effective
date of this Amendment and Restatement and, except as provided below, shall be
irrevocable. In the absence of an election, payment shall be made in the form of
annual periodic payments over a period of 20 years. Officer may change his or
her distribution election once during any calendar year with the new election to
be effective only in the event that the date of Officer's termination of
employment with the Company is at least 12 months after the date of the new
election. All payments shall be paid to Officer if living, or if not living, to
his designated beneficiary or, upon failure to make such designation or if the
designated beneficiary shall predecease Officer, to Officer's estate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Officer's termination of
employment with the Company occurs on or within two years after a "Change in
Control" of the Company, the amount to the credit of Officer will be distributed
to Officer either in a lump sum or in annual installments not exceeding five (5)
years, whichever is elected by Officer as of the effective date of this
Agreement. In the absence of an election, payment shall be made in a lump sum
within



                                       2

<PAGE>


five days of termination following a "Change in Control." Officer may change
this election at any time with the new election to be effective only in the
event that the termination of employment with the Company is at least 12 months
after the date of the new election. If installment payments are elected, the
method of distribution shall be similar to the method described for installment
payments under the preceding paragraph.

         For purposes hereof, a "Change in Control" of the Company shall be
         deemed to have occurred if the event set forth in any one of the
         following paragraphs shall have occurred:

                  (I)      any Person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner,
                           directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company

                           by such Person any securities acquired directly from
                           the Company or its affiliates) representing 30% or
                           more of the combined voting power of the Company's
                           then outstanding securities, excluding any Person who
                           becomes such a Beneficial Owner in connection with a
                           transaction described in clause (i) 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 the date of the
                           Agreement, constitute the Board of Directors of the
                           Company and any new director (other than a director
                           whose initial assumption of office is in connection
                           with an actual or threatened election contest,

                           directors on the date of the Agreement, or whose
                           appointment, election or nomination for election was
                           previously so approved or recommended; or
