DEFENDANTS' NOTICE OF MOTION AND MOTION TO AMEND THE CASE

LA 3357555 v1 -2- MANAGEMENT ORDER

Plaintiff Alex D. Moglia and Defendants James A. Harris and Michael J. Stone,

through their respective counsel of record, stipulate and agree as follows:

1. In the course of discovery in this case, Defendant Stone served a document

subpoena on Florida Rock Corporation ("Florida Rock"), with a return date of April 16,

2005. Prior to the return date, counsel for Florida Rock Corporation informed counsel

for Mr. Stone that compliance with the subpoena would entail the production of

documents which Florida Rock and U.S. Aggregates, Inc. had agreed to designate as

confidential in the course of their negotiations for the proposed purchase by Florida Rock

of certain of U.S. Aggregates' assets. Although the purchase did not occur, the parties

agreed that the confidentiality provisions of the proposed purchase agreement ("the

Agreement") would survive termination of the Agreement. Counsel for Florida Rock

requested that the parties to this action enter into a stipulated protective order, pursuant to

which Florida Rock will produce the confidential and other documents requested by the

subpoena (subject to privilege objections).

2. Accordingly, the parties have agreed that this stipulated protective order

shall govern documents produced by Florida Rock which Florida Rock has designated as

confidential. All documents designated by Florida Rock as confidential shall be

maintained in confidence and not disclosed to any person except as provided herein. 

3. Disclosure of the documents and the information contained therein or

testimony designated as confidential shall be restricted to the following persons:

a. Counsel of record in this action;

b. Office personnel working under counsel's supervision;

c. Judges, law clerks and other personnel of the Court before which this

action is pending;

d. Independent experts or consultants retained in connection with this

action; and

e. The parties, or employees, former employees, officers, former

officers, directors, former directors, or agents of the parties;

f. Actual or prospective witnesses, to the extent that such disclosure is

reasonably required;

g. Persons who participated in the events or communications which are

reflected in the documents designated as confidential.

4. The persons identified in paragraphs 3(e), (f) and (g) who are permitted by

the parties or their counsel to have access to confidential information under the terms of

this stipulated protective order shall be provided with a copy of this stipulated protective

order for review prior to being given such access and shall sign a statement in the form

attached hereto as Exhibit "A", indicating that he or she has read the stipulated protective

order and agrees to abide by its terms. Each signed statement shall be retained by

counsel for the party who gives that person access to the confidential information.

5. Persons seeking to file documents with the Court which are classified

confidential by Florida Rock shall follow the procedures set forth in Civil Local Rule 79-

5 and the Court's procedures for filing documents under seal.

6. Plaintiff Alex D. Moglia as Liquidating Trustee for and on behalf of the

Liquidating Trust of U.S. Aggregates, Inc. hereby agrees that he will not contend that

Florida Rock's production of the documents pursuant to this Stipulated Protective Order

violates the confidentiality provisions of the Agreement.

7. Nothing in this stipulated protective order shall be deemed a waiver of any

party's right to oppose production of any information or documents in discovery or at trial

for any reason including but not limited to relevance, materiality or as not calculated to

lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.

appropriate.
