<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#147;DGCL&#148;) empowers a Delaware
corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to
any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by
reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer, employee or agent of the

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The
indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by that person in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
A Delaware corporation may indemnify directors, officers, employees and others in an action by or
in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is
permitted without judicial approval if the person to be indemnified has been adjudged to be liable
to the corporation. Where a director or officer is successful on the merits or otherwise in the
defense of any action referred to above or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the
corporation must indemnify that director or officer against the expenses (including attorneys&#146;
fees) which he or she actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a certificate of incorporation may contain a
provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such
provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (1)&nbsp;for any breach of the
director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3)&nbsp;under Section
174 of the DGCL or (4)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;Seventh of U.S. Concrete&#146;s restated certificate of incorporation states that:
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No director of the Corporation will be personally liable to the Corporation or any of
its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director; provided,
however, that the foregoing provisions will not eliminate or limit the liability of a
director (a)&nbsp;for any breach of that director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its
stockholders, (b)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL, as the same
exists or as that provision hereafter may be amended, supplemented or replaced, or (d)&nbsp;for
any transactions from which that director derived an improper personal benefit. If the DGCL
is amended after the filing of this Certificate of Incorporation to authorize corporate
action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the
liability of a director of the Corporation, in addition to the limitation on personal
liability provided herein, will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by that law, as
so amended. Any repeal or modification of this Article&nbsp;Seventh by the stockholders of the
Corporation will be prospective only and will not adversely affect any limitation on the
personal liability of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of that repeal or
modification.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, Article&nbsp;VI of U.S. Concrete&#146;s amended and restated bylaws further provides that
U.S. Concrete shall indemnify its officers, directors and employees to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;U.S. Concrete has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and
various of its executive officers, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer. These indemnification agreements generally provide U.S. Concrete&#146;s directors and
executive officers with contractual rights of indemnification to the same extent provided by
Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and Article&nbsp;VI of U.S. Concrete&#146;s amended and
restated bylaws.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;U.S. Concrete also maintains directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance for its directors
and officers that protects them from certain losses arising from claims or charges made against

liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
provisions described under Item&nbsp;6 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Delaware General Corporation Law
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") empowers a Delaware
corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to
any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by
reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or
2
Table of Contents
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The
indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by that person in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
A Delaware corporation may indemnify directors, officers, employees and others in an action by or
in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is
permitted without judicial approval if the person to be indemnified has been adjudged to be liable
to the corporation. Where a director or officer is successful on the merits or otherwise in the
defense of any action referred to above or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the
corporation must indemnify that director or officer against the expenses (including attorneys'
fees) which he or she actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a certificate of incorporation may contain a
provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such
provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (1) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) under Section
174 of the DGCL or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Article Seventh of U.S. Concrete's restated certificate of incorporation states that:
No director of the Corporation will be personally liable to the Corporation or any of
its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director; provided,
however, that the foregoing provisions will not eliminate or limit the liability of a
director (a) for any breach of that director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its
stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) under Section 174 of the DGCL, as the same
exists or as that provision hereafter may be amended, supplemented or replaced, or (d) for
any transactions from which that director derived an improper personal benefit. If the DGCL
is amended after the filing of this Certificate of Incorporation to authorize corporate
action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the
liability of a director of the Corporation, in addition to the limitation on personal
liability provided herein, will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by that law, as
so amended. Any repeal or modification of this Article Seventh by the stockholders of the
Corporation will be prospective only and will not adversely affect any limitation on the
personal liability of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of that repeal or
modification.
In addition, Article VI of U.S. Concrete's amended and restated bylaws further provides that
U.S. Concrete shall indemnify its officers, directors and employees to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law.
Indemnification Agreements and Insurance
U.S. Concrete has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and
various of its executive officers, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer. These indemnification agreements generally provide U.S. Concrete's directors and
executive officers with contractual rights of indemnification to the same extent provided by
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and Article VI of U.S. Concrete's amended and
restated bylaws.
Agreements U.S. Concrete may enter into with underwriters, dealers and agents who participate
in the distribution of U.S. Concrete's securities may contain provisions relating to the
indemnification of U.S. Concrete's officers and directors.
U.S. Concrete also maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance for its directors
and officers that protects them from certain losses arising from claims or charges made against
them in their capacities as directors or officers of U.S. Concrete.

Item 9.
Undertakings
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not
exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however,
that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above
do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
provisions described under Item 6 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
