The Greenbrier Companies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and
___________ (the "Participant") under the Company's 2005 Stock Incentive Plan
(the "Plan").

SECTION 1. ACQUISITION OF SHARES.

      (a) TRANSFER. On the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the
Company agrees to transfer to the Participant ___________ shares of Common Stock
of the Company (the "Shares"), rounded to the nearest whole share, based on the
fair market value per Share of $_____, which is determined in accordance with
the Plan. The transfer shall occur at the offices of the Company on the date set
forth above or at such other place and time as the parties may agree.

      (b) STOCK PLAN AND DEFINED TERMS. The transfer of the Shares is subject to
the Plan, a copy of which the Participant acknowledges having received. The
provisions of the Plan are incorporated into this Agreement by this reference.
Capitalized terms not elsewhere defined are defined in Section 12 of this
Agreement.

      (c) WITHHOLDING TAXES. In the event that the Company determines that it is
required to withhold any tax as a result of the issuance of Shares pursuant to
this Agreement, the Participant, as a condition to the receipt of such Shares,
shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to enable it to satisfy all
withholding requirements.

      (d) VESTING. The Shares shall vest in equal annual installments over a
period of three years, on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date
of this Agreement. If the Participant ceases to be a Director due to death,
Disability, or retirement or because he or she is not re-elected to serve an
additional term as a Director, any unvested Shares shall immediately become
fully vested. If the Participant ceases to be a Director by reason of removal or
resignation as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, any unvested
Restricted Shares shall automatically be forfeited.

SECTION 2. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.

      (a) PARTICIPANT REPRESENTATIONS. In connection with the issuance and
acquisition of Shares under this Agreement, the Participant hereby represents
and warrants to the Company as follows:

            (i) The Participant is acquiring and will hold the Shares for
      investment for his or her account only and not with a view to, or for
      resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof within the meaning
      of the Securities Act.

            (ii) The Participant understands that the Shares have not been
      registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption
      therefrom and that the Shares must

                                             Director Restricted Share Agreement

                                                                          Page 1
<PAGE>

      be held indefinitely, unless they are subsequently registered under the
      Securities Act or the Participant obtains an opinion of counsel, in form
      and substance satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, that such
      registration is not required. The Participant further acknowledges and
      understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the
      Shares.

            (iii) The Participant is aware of the adoption of Rule 144 by the
      Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act, which permits
      limited public resales of securities acquired in a non-public offering,
      subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including (without
      limitation) the availability of certain current public information about
      the issuer, the resale occurring only after the holding period required by
      Rule 144 has been satisfied, the sale occurring through an unsolicited
      "broker's transaction," and the amount of securities being sold during any
      three-month period not exceeding specified limitations.

            (iv) The Participant will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of
      the Shares in violation of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act
      of 1934, or the rules promulgated thereunder, including Rule 144 under the
      Securities Act. The Participant agrees that he or she will not dispose of
      the Shares unless and until he or she has complied with all requirements
      of this Agreement applicable to the disposition of Shares and he or she
      has provided the Company with written assurances, in substance and form
      satisfactory to the Company, that the proposed disposition does not
      require registration of the Shares under the Securities Act or all
      appropriate action necessary for compliance with the registration
      requirements of the Securities Act or with any exemption from registration
      available under the Securities Act (including Rule 144) has been taken.

            (v) The Participant has been furnished with, and has had access to,
      such information as he or she considers necessary or appropriate for
      deciding whether to invest in the Shares, and the Participant has had an
      opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company
      regarding the terms and conditions of the issuance of the Shares.

            (vi) The Participant is aware that his or her investment in the
      Company is a speculative investment which has limited liquidity and is
      subject to the risk of complete loss. The Participant is able, without
      impairing his or her financial condition, to hold the Shares for an
      indefinite period and to suffer a complete loss of his or her investment
      in the Shares.

      (b) SECURITIES LAW RESTRICTIONS. Regardless of whether the offering and
sale of Shares under the Plan have been registered under the Securities Act or
have been registered or qualified under the securities laws of any state, the
Company at its discretion may impose restrictions upon the sale, pledge or other
transfer of the Shares (including the placement of appropriate legends on stock
certificates or the imposition of stop-transfer instructions) if, in the
judgment of the Company, such restrictions are necessary or desirable in order
to achieve compliance with the Securities Act, the securities laws of any state
or any other law.

      (c) MARKET STAND-OFF. In connection with any underwritten public offering
by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration
statement filed under the

                                             Director Restricted Share Agreement

                                                                          Page 2

Securities Act, the Participant shall not directly or indirectly sell, make any
short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, offer, grant or sell any option or
other contract for the purchase of, purchase any option or other contract for
the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer, or agree to engage in any of
the foregoing transactions with respect to, any Shares without the prior written
consent of the Company or its underwriters. Such restriction (the "Market Stand
Off") shall be in effect for such period of time following the date of the final
prospectus for the offering as may be requested by the Company or such
underwriters. In the event of the declaration of a stock dividend, a spin off, a
stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar
transaction affecting the Company's outstanding securities without receipt of
consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities which are by reason
of such transaction distributed with respect to any Shares subject to the Market
Stand Off, or into which such Shares thereby become convertible, shall
immediately be subject to the Market Stand Off. In order to enforce the Market
Stand Off, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the
Shares until the end of the applicable stand-off period. The Company's
underwriters shall be beneficiaries of the agreement set forth in this
Subsection (c). This Subsection (c) shall not apply to Shares registered in the
public offering under the Securities Act.

      (d) RIGHTS OF THE COMPANY. The Company shall not be required to (i)
transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or transferred in
contravention of this Agreement or (ii) treat as the owner of Shares, or
otherwise to accord voting, dividend or liquidation rights to, any transferee to
whom Shares have been transferred in contravention of this Agreement.

SECTION 3. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

      Except as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary, the provisions of
this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company
and its successors and assigns and be binding upon the Participant and the
Participant's legal representatives, heirs, legatees, distributees, assigns and
transferees by operation of law, whether or not any such person has become a
party to this Agreement or has agreed in writing to join herein and to be bound
by the terms, conditions and restrictions hereof.

SECTION 4. NO RETENTION RIGHTS.

      Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant
any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or
interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or
any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining the Participant) or of the
Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate
his or her Service at any time and for any reason, with or without cause.

SECTION 5. TAX ELECTION.

      The acquisition of the Shares may result in adverse tax consequences that
may be avoided or mitigated by filing an election under Code Section 83(b). Such

and warrants to the Company as follows:

            (i) The Participant is acquiring and will hold the Shares for

      of 1934, or the rules promulgated thereunder, including Rule 144 under the

      regarding the terms and conditions of the issuance of the Shares.

      indefinite period and to suffer a complete loss of his or her investment
      in the Shares.

party to this Agreement or has agreed in writing to join herein and to be bound
by the terms, conditions and restrictions hereof.

SECTION 4. NO RETENTION RIGHTS.

      Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant
any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or
