U.S.C. § 18, and Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 45;

an Agreement Containing Consent Orders (“Consent Agreement”), containing an admission by 

Respondents of all the jurisdictional facts set forth in the aforesaid draft of Complaint, a 

statement that the signing of said Consent Agreement is for settlement purposes only and does

than in the manner prescribed in this Decision and Order and in the Asset 

Maintenance Order) nor take any action that lessens the full economic viability, 

marketability, or competitiveness of the Assets To Be Divested.

F. With respect to each of the divestitures of Assets to be Divested required by this Order:

1. Respondents shall provide reasonable opportunity in advance of the Divestiture 

Date for the Proposed Acquirer to:

a. Meet personally, and outside of the presence or hearing of any employee

or agent of Respondents, with any or all of the Divestiture Employees 

pursuant to the applicable Divestiture Agreement; and

b. Make offers of employment to any or all of the Divestiture Employees 

pursuant to the applicable Divestiture Agreement; 
15

2. Respondents shall: (i) not directly or indirectly interfere with the hiring by the 

Acquirer of Divestiture Employees; (ii) not directly or indirectly attempt to 

persuade any one or more of the Divestiture Employees to decline any offer of 

employment from any Acquirer, or offer any incentive to any Divestiture 

Employee to decline employment with any Acquirer; (iii) remove any 

impediments within the control of Respondents that may deter those Divestiture 

Employees from accepting employment with such Acquirer (including, but not 

limited to, any non-compete or confidentiality provisions of employment or other 

contracts with Respondents that would affect the ability or incentive of those 

individuals to be employed by such Acquirer); (iv) not make any counteroffer to 

any Divestiture Employee who has an outstanding offer of employment, or who 

has accepted an offer of employment, from an Acquirer; and (v) continue to 

extend to any Divestiture Employee, prior to the applicable Divestiture Date, all 

Divestiture Employee benefits offered in the ordinary course of business, 

including regularly scheduled or merit raises and bonuses, and regularly 

scheduled vesting of all pension benefits;

3. Respondents shall not, directly or indirectly, for a period of two (2) years from the 

applicable Divestiture Date, solicit, negotiate, hire, or enter into any arrangement 

for the services of any Divestiture Employee who has accepted an offer of 

employment with, or who is employed by, an Acquirer.

Provided, however, a violation of this provision will not occur if:

a. The Divestiture Employee’s employment has been terminated by the

Acquirer;

b. Respondents advertise for employees in newspapers, trade publications, or 

other media not targeted specifically at any one or more of the Divestiture 

Employees of the Acquirer(s); or,

c. Respondents hire a Divestiture Employee who has applied for 

employment with Respondents, provided that such application was not, 

directly or indirectly, solicited or induced by Respondents in violation of 

this Order.

G. The purpose of the divestitures is to ensure the continuation of the Assets To Be Divested 

as ongoing, viable facilities engaged in the Cement business and to remedy the lessening 

of competition resulting from the Acquisition as alleged in the Commission’s Complaint.

III.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that: 

A. Respondents shall not:

1. Provide, disclose, or otherwise make available any Material Confidential 

Information to any Person except as required or permitted by this Order, the Asset 

Maintenance Order, or any Remedial Agreement(s); or
16

2. Use any Material Confidential Information for any reason or purpose other than as 

required or permitted by this Order, the Asset Maintenance Order, or any of the

Remedial Agreement(s), and shall limit access to Material Confidential

obligations under the Order, the Asset Maintenance Order, or the Remedial 

Agreement(s).

B. Respondents shall devise and implement measures to protect against the storage, 

distribution, and use of Material Confidential Information that is not permitted by this 

Order, the Asset Maintenance Order, or the Remedial Agreement(s). These measures 

shall include, but not be limited to, restrictions placed on access by persons to 

information available or stored on any of Respondents’ computers or computer networks. 

C. Notwithstanding anything else in paragraph III of this Order and subject to the Asset 

Maintenance Order, Respondents may use and disclose Material Confidential 

Information:

1. In the ordinary course of business in the operation of Respondents’ retained 

businesses and assets if:

a. The Material Confidential Information relates both to the Assets To Be 

Divested and to Respondents’ retained businesses or assets;

b. The Divestiture Agreement permits Respondents to retain Material 

Confidential Information that also relates to Respondents’ retained 

businesses or assets; and

c. Respondents protect against the disclosure or use of such Material 

Confidential Information in the same way Respondents protect against the 

disclosure or use of Respondents’ other confidential information;

2. For the purpose of performing Respondents’ obligations under this Order, the 

Asset Maintenance Order, or the Remedial Agreement(s); 

3. To ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements including, but not 

limited to:

a. Retaining a copy of Material Confidential Information for the sole purpose 

of complying with any applicable law, regulations, and other legal

duties and responsibilities in a manner consistent with the purposes of this Order 

and in consultation with the Commission and its staff;

concerning performance by Respondents of their obligations under the Order and 

the Remedial Agreement(s); and,

7. The Monitor shall provide written reports to the Commission every thirty (30) 

days, or upon a schedule determined by Commission staff, that provides the 

Commission with timely information to determine if Respondents have complied 

and are complying with their obligations under this Order and the Remedial 

Agreement(s). In addition, the Monitor shall provide such additional written 

reports as Commission staff may request that reasonably are related to 

determining if Respondents have complied and are complying with their 

obligations under this Order and the Remedial Agreement(s). The Monitor shall 

not provide to Respondents, and Respondents shall not be entitled to receive, 

copies of these reports.
18

powers, and authority necessary to carry out the Monitor’s duties and responsibilities, 

including, but not limited to, the following:

1. Respondents shall cooperate with any reasonable request of the Monitor and shall

any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses arising out of, or in 

connection with, the performance of the Monitor’s duties, including all reasonable 

fees of counsel and other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the 

preparations for, or defense of, any claim, whether or not resulting in any liability, 

except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses 

result from gross negligence, willful or wanton acts, or bad faith by the Monitor;

19

D. Respondents shall comply with all terms of the Monitor Agreement, and any breach by 

Respondents of any term of the Monitor Agreement shall constitute a violation of this 

Order. Notwithstanding any paragraph, section, or other provision of the Monitor 

Agreement, any modification of the Monitor Agreement, without the prior approval of 

the Commission, shall constitute a failure to comply with this Order.

E. The Commission may, among other things, require the Monitor and each of the Monitor’s 

consultants, accountants, attorneys and other representatives and assistants to sign an 

appropriate confidentiality agreement related to Commission materials and information 

received in connection with the performance of the Monitor’s duties.

diligently, the Commission may appoint a substitute Monitor. The Commission shall 

select the substitute Monitor, subject to the consent of Respondents, which consent shall 

not be unreasonably withheld. If Respondents have not opposed, in writing, including the 

reasons for opposing, the selection of any proposed substitute Monitor within ten (10) 

days after notice by the staff of the Commission to Respondents of the identity of any 

proposed substitute Monitor, Respondents shall be deemed to have consented to the 

selection of the proposed substitute Monitor. Not later than ten (10) days after the 

appointment of the Monitor, Respondents shall execute an agreement that, subject to the 

prior approval of the Commission, confers on the Monitor all the rights and powers 

necessary to permit the Monitor to monitor Respondents’ compliance with the relevant 

requirements of this Order and the Remedial Agreement(s) in a manner consistent with 

the purpose of this Order. If a substitute Monitor is appointed, Respondents shall consent 

to the terms and conditions regarding the powers, duties, authorities, and responsibilities 

of the Monitor as set forth in this Paragraph.

appointed as the Divestiture Trustee pursuant to Paragraph V. of this Order and as Asset 

Maintenance Monitor appointed pursuant to the Asset Maintenance Order.

V.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that:

A. If Respondents have not divested all of the Assets To Be Divested in the time and manner 

required by Paragraph II of this Order, the Commission may appoint a Divestiture 

Trustee to divest the remaining Assets To Be Divested, and to enter into Transition 

Services Agreements and other Remedial Agreement(s), and perform Respondents’ other 

obligations, in a manner that satisfies the requirements of this Order. In the event that the 

Commission or the Attorney General brings an action pursuant to Section 5(l) of the 

Federal Trade Commission Act, 15 U.S.C. § 45(l), or any other statute enforced by the 
20

Commission, Respondents shall consent to the appointment of a Divestiture Trustee in 

such action to divest the required assets. Neither the appointment of a Divestiture 

Trustee nor a decision not to appoint a Divestiture Trustee under this Paragraph shall 

preclude the Commission or the Attorney General from seeking civil penalties or any 

other relief available to it, including one or more court-appointed Divestiture Trustees, 

pursuant to Section 5(l) of the Federal Trade Commission Act, or any other statute 

enforced by the Commission, for any failure by Respondents to comply with this Order.

B. The Commission may select a Divestiture Trustee, subject to the consent of Respondents, 

which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Divestiture Trustee shall be a 

person with experience and expertise in acquisitions and divestitures. If Respondents 

have not opposed, in writing, and stated in writing their reasons for opposing, the 

selection of any proposed Divestiture Trustee within ten (10) days after notice by the staff 

of the Commission to Respondents of the identity of any proposed Divestiture Trustee, 

Respondents shall be deemed to have consented to the selection of the proposed 

Divestiture Trustee.

1. Not later than ten (10) days after the appointment of a Divestiture Trustee, 

Respondents shall execute a trust agreement for any divestitures required by 

Paragraph II. of this Order that, subject to the prior approval of the Commission, 

transfers to the Divestiture Trustee all rights and powers necessary to permit the 

Divestiture Trustee to effectuate the divestitures required by, and satisfy the 

additional obligations imposed by, this Order. Any failure by Respondents to 

comply with a trust agreement approved by the Commission shall be a violation 

of this Order.

2. If a Divestiture Trustee is appointed by the Commission or a court pursuant to this 

Paragraph, Respondents shall consent to the following terms and conditions 

regarding the Divestiture Trustee’s powers, duties, authority, and responsibilities:

a. Subject to the prior approval of the Commission, the Divestiture Trustee 

shall have the exclusive power and authority to effectuate the divestitures 

required by, and satisfy the additional obligations imposed by, this Order.

b. The Divestiture Trustee shall have one (1) year after the date the 

Commission approves the trust agreement described herein to accomplish 

the divestiture required by this Order, which shall be subject to the prior 

approval of the Commission. If, however, at the end of the one (1) year 

period, the Divestiture Trustee has submitted a plan to satisfy the 

divestiture obligations of this Order, or believes that such obligation can 

be achieved within a reasonable time, the period may be extended by the 

Commission, or, in the case of a court-appointed Divestiture Trustee, by 

the court; provided, however, that the Commission may extend the period 

only two (2) times.
21

c. Subject to any demonstrated legally recognized privilege, any Divestiture 

Trustee shall have full and complete access to the personnel, books, 

records, and facilities related to the relevant assets that are required to be 

divested by this Order and to any other relevant information, as the 

Divestiture Trustee may request. Respondents shall develop such 

financial or other information as any Divestiture Trustee may request and 

shall cooperate with the Divestiture Trustee. Respondents shall take no 

action to interfere with or impede any Divestiture Trustee’s 

accomplishment of the divestiture. Any delays caused by Respondents 

shall extend the time under this Paragraph for a time period equal to the 

delay, as determined by the Commission or, for a court-appointed 

Divestiture Trustee, by the court.

d. Any Divestiture Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to 

negotiate the most favorable price and terms available in each contract that 

is submitted to the Commission, subject to Respondents’ absolute and 

unconditional obligation to divest expeditiously and at no minimum price. 

The divestiture shall be made in the manner that receives the prior 

approval of the Commission and to an Acquirer that receives the prior 

approval of the Commission as required by this Order; provided, however,

if any Divestiture Trustee receives bona fide offers for any asset to be 

divested from more than one acquiring entity, and if the Commission 

determines to approve more than one such acquiring entity, the Divestiture 

Trustee shall divest to the acquiring entity selected by Respondents from 

among those approved by the Commission; provided further, however,

that Respondents shall select such entity within five (5) days after 

receiving notification of the Commission’s approval.

e. Any Divestiture Trustee shall serve, without bond or other security, at the 

cost and expense of Respondents, on such reasonable and customary terms 

and conditions as the Commission or a court may set. Any Divestiture 

Trustee shall have the authority to employ, at the cost and expense of 

Respondents, such consultants, accountants, attorneys, investment 

bankers, business brokers, appraisers, and other representatives and 

assistants as are necessary to carry out the Divestiture Trustee’s duties and 

responsibilities. Any Divestiture Trustee shall account for all monies 

derived from the divestitures and all expenses incurred. After approval by 

the Commission of the account of the Divestiture Trustee, including fees 

for the Divestiture Trustee’s services, all remaining monies shall be paid at 

the direction of Respondents, and the Divestiture Trustee’s power shall be 

terminated. The compensation of any Divestiture Trustee shall be based at 

least in significant part on a commission arrangement contingent on the 

divestiture of all of the relevant assets that are required to be divested by 

this Order.
22

f. Respondents shall indemnify any Divestiture Trustee and hold the 

Divestiture Trustee harmless against any losses, claims, damages, 

liabilities, or expenses arising out of, or in connection with, the 

performance of the Divestiture Trustee’s duties, including all reasonable 

fees of counsel and other expenses incurred in connection with the 

preparation for, or defense of, any claim, whether or not resulting in any 

liability, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, 

or expenses result from gross negligence, malfeasance, willful or wanton 

acts, or bad faith by the Divestiture Trustee.

g. The Divestiture Trustee shall have no obligation or authority to operate or 

maintain the relevant assets required to be divested by this Order.

h. The Divestiture Trustee shall report in writing to Respondents and to the 

Commission every thirty (30) days concerning the Divestiture Trustee’s 

efforts to accomplish the divestitures.

i. Respondents may require the Divestiture Trustee and each of the 

Divestiture Trustee’s consultants, accountants, attorneys, and other 

representatives and assistants to sign a customary confidentiality 

agreement; provided, however, such agreement shall not restrict the 

Divestiture Trustee from providing any information to the Commission.

j. The Commission may, among other things, require the Divestiture Trustee 

and each of the Divestiture Trustee’s consultants, accountants, attorneys 

and other representatives and assistants to sign an appropriate 

confidentiality agreement related to Commission materials and 

information received in connection with the performance of the 

Divestiture Trustee’s duties.

C. If the Commission determines that the Divestiture Trustee has ceased to act or failed to 

act diligently, the Commission may appoint a substitute Divestiture Trustee in the same 

manner as provided in this Paragraph.

D. The Commission or, in the case of a court-appointed Divestiture Trustee, the court, may 

on its own initiative or at the request of any Divestiture Trustee, issue such additional 

orders or directions as may be necessary or appropriate to accomplish the divestitures 

required by this Order.

E. The Divestiture Trustee appointed pursuant to this Paragraph may be, but need not be, the 

same person as the Monitor appointed under this Order and as Asset Maintenance

Monitor appointed pursuant to the Asset Maintenance Order.
23

VI.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that:

A. Within thirty (30) days after the date this Order is issued, and every thirty (30) days 

thereafter until the completion of the last divestiture required by this Order, Respondents 

shall submit to the Commission (and a complete copy to the Monitor appointed under this 

Order, and the Asset Maintenance Monitor appointed under the Asset Maintenance

Order) a verified written report setting forth in detail the manner and form in which they

intend to comply, are complying, and have complied with this Order. For the period 

covered by this report, the report shall include, but not be limited to, among other things 

that are required from time to time, a full description of the efforts being made to comply 

with Paragraph II. of this Order, including a description of all substantive contacts or 

negotiations for the divestitures and the identity and contact information of all parties 

contacted. Respondents shall include in the reports copies of all material written 

communications to and from such parties, all internal memoranda reviewing or 

evaluating possible acquirers or divestiture proposals, and all reports and 

recommendations concerning completing the obligations. 

B. On the first anniversary of the date this Order is issued, and thereafter on each subsequent 

anniversary until Respondents have satisfied in full all of their obligations under

Paragraph II. of this Order and all of the Remedial Agreement(s), Respondents shall 

submit to the Commission a verified written report setting forth in detail the manner and 

form in which they intend to comply, are complying, and have complied with this Order. 

For the period covered by each such report, Respondents shall state the name and contact 

information for each Person that maintains or claims (regardless of whether Respondents 

agree or disagree with such Person, and regardless whether a judicial or arbitration action 

has been threatened or commenced) that one or more Respondents have failed to comply 

fully with the Order (including any Remedial Agreement(s) made a part thereof), briefly 

describe the Person’s claim, and provide copies of any written communications between 

Respondents and the Person concerning the claim.

VII.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Respondents shall notify the Commission at least 

thirty (30) days prior to:

A. Any proposed dissolution of Respondents;

B. Any proposed acquisition, merger or consolidation of Respondents; or

C. Any other change in the Respondents, including, but not limited to, assignment and the 

creation or dissolution of subsidiaries, if such change might affect compliance obligations 

arising out of the Order. 
24

VIII.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that for purposes of determining or securing compliance 

with this Order, and subject to any legally recognized privilege, and upon written request and 

upon five (5) days’ notice to Respondents made to either Respondent’s principal United States

shall, without restraint or interference, permit any duly authorized representative of the 

Commission:

A. Access, during business office hours of Respondents and in the presence of counsel, to all 

facilities and access to inspect and copy all books, ledgers, accounts, correspondence, 

memoranda, and all other records and documents in the possession or under the control of 

Respondents related to compliance with this Order, which copying services shall be 

provided by Respondents at the request of the authorized representative(s) of the 

Commission and at the expense of the Respondents; and

B. To interview officers, directors, or employees of Respondents, who may have counsel
