Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), as amended from time to time (the "Schedule
13D"), relating to Common Stock, par value $0.01 (the "Common Stock"), of
Trinity Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). All
capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.
