On December 4, 2006, Itron Inc. amended certain provisions of its Executive
Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amendments to the Plan are effective
January 1, 2007, except to the extent a different effective date is set forth
below, and consist of the following:
(i) Permit participants to defer an amount equal to any deferrals returned
to them from the Itron, Inc. Incentive Savings Plan because that plan
does not satisfy the actual deferral percentage test.
(ii) Change the matching contributions to 50% of the first 6% of
compensation deferred under the Plan.
(iii) Effective April 1, 2007, allow participants to designate the
measurement funds to be used to determine the amount of earnings to be
allocated to their Plan accounts.

Exhibit Number Description
-------------- --------------------------------------------------------
10.6 Itron, Inc. Executive Deferred Compensation Plan,
Amendment No. Two, dated December 4, 2006.
The information presented in this Current Report on Form 8-K contains
forward-looking statements, which are based on assumptions that we believe to be
reasonable at this time. Such assumptions could prove to be incorrect due to a
number of factors, including those identified in Itron, Inc.'s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and in our subsequent filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and such factors could cause actual
results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements.
We undertake no obligation to update any of the forward looking statements.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the

undersigned, hereunto duly authorized.
