I hope you had a nice holiday and Happy New Year. Attached please find CEMEX's response to your

December 4, 2009 CAA section 114 request as well as the referenced certificates of 
incorporation/formation. I intended to send the response last week, but a glitch in our system prevented 

that from happening successfully. Please let me know if you would like to discuss further.

Dear Chet:

Thanks for your response. After reading the letter it appears CEMEX has a total of 7 corporate entities:

1. CEMEX, Inc. - Brooksville (North), Fairborne, Lyons, Wampum, Knoxville

2. CEMEX Construction Materials FL - Brooksville (South), Miami.

3. CEMEX Cement of Texas - Balcones, Odessa

4. RMC Pacific Materials - Davenport

5. CEMEX California Cement - Victorville

6. Kosmos Cement - Louisville

7. CEMEX Southeast - Demopolis, Clinchfield

Am I reading this correctly?

And is this incorporation list still current (i.e has anything changed since the time we send the Section 14 

request)?

Keith,

There are more than seven "CEMEX" corporate entities. Recently, CEMEX

completed a restructuring of some of its assets. The Victorville plant

is now owned by CEMEX Construction Materials Pacific, LLC. The Balcones

and Odessa cement plants are now owned by CEMEX Construction Materials

South, LLC.
