               IN THE COUNTY COURT OF DOUGLAS COUNTY, NEBRASKA

IN THE MATTER OF THE KIEWIT               )           Doc. 6         Page 297
ROYALTY TRUST INDENTURE,                  )
                                          )           ORDER

        Hearing having been held in this court on September 23, 1994, upon
petition filed herein dated August 24, 1994, the court does find as follows:

        1.     The court has subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to Neb. Rev.
Stat. Section 30-2806.

        2.     Venue for this proceeding is proper in this county pursuant to
Neb. Rev. Stat. Section 30-2807 because, pursuant to Neb. Rev. Stat. Section
30-2801, the Trustee has its principal place of administration in Douglas
County, Nebraska.

        3.     Petitioner, FirsTier Bank, N.A., Omaha, Nebraska (formerly
known as Omaha National Bank) is the originally-named and duly-acting Trustee
of the Trust created under the Kiewit Royalty Trust Indenture dated June 10,
1982, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit "A" to the original petition
filed herein (hereinafter "Trust" or "Trust Indenture").

        4.     The name and address of the Grantor of such Trust is as
follows:

                      Peter Kiewit Sons', Inc.
                      1000 Kiewit Plaza
                      3555 Farnam Street
                      Omaha, Nebraska 68131

        5.     Names and addresses of all interested persons in this matter,
so far as are known or ascertainable with reasonable diligence by the
Petitioner, are as set forth in Exhibit "B" which is attached to the original
petition filed herein and which is incorporated herein by this reference.

        6.     The petition is properly before this court seeking to amend
certain provisions of the Trust as a matter of administrative efficiency, to
update certain provisions which are not applicable or which cannot be applied
currently, and to approve prior Trustee fees.

        7.     Paragraph 3.04 of the Trust Indenture restricts investments of
the Trust to "accounts or certificates of the Trustee" and requires a rate of
return determined in part by "master notes," which notes no longer exist.

<PAGE>

        8.     Subsequent to execution of the Trust Indenture, the Nebraska
Legislature enacted Neb. Rev. Stat. Section 30-3206 which expands permissible
fiduciary investments for funds awaiting distribution to include "short-term
trust-quality investments."

        9.     Subsequent to the execution of the Trust Indenture, the
Nebraska Legislature also enacted Neb. Rev. Stat. Section 30-3205 which
provides that, upon appropriate terms in a trust instrument, a fiduciary may
invest in certain types of funds registered pursuant to the Investment Company
Act of 1940.

        10.    The elimination of any reference to master notes and the
authorization for the Trustee to invest in government obligations,
government-secured obligations, and funds registered pursuant to the
Investment Act of 1940, is consistent with the purpose and intent of the Trust
Indenture and is reasonably advisable for the best interests of the
beneficiaries of the Trust in light of changes in circumstances since
execution of the Trust.

        11.    The Trust Indenture currently requires that distributions are
to be made from the Trust to beneficiaries on a quarterly basis, but that the
amount of such distribution is to accrue on a monthly basis. This incongruity
requires duplicative time-consuming recordkeeping on the part of the Trustee
and can serve to frustrate beneficiaries who make gifts of their Trust
interests believing that such gifts include the next income distribution.

        12.    Accruing and making distributions on a quarterly basis would be
in the best interests of the beneficiaries of this Trust and consistent with
the purposes of this Trust.

        13.    For the period of July 1987 through April 1990, the Trustee
invested in certain "12b-1 money market funds." During this period, the
Trustee received a fee directly from the fund in addition to its regular
Trustee fee. The 12b-1 investments resulted in a slightly higher net rate of
return to the Trust for the period than would have otherwise been earned by
the Trust.

        14.    The Comptroller of the Currency requires that a bank trustee
obtain court approval or other authorization for such fees. The 12b-1 fees as
set forth on Exhibit "D" as attached to the original petition filed herein
amount to one-quarter of one percent of the net asset value of the funds so
invested. These fees are reasonable and appropriate.

                                      2

        WHEREFORE, the court does hereby order and decree:

        A.     The findings above are hereby incorporated into this Order as
               fully as if set forth herein.

        B.     For purposes of amending the investment restrictions of the
               Kiewit Royalty Trust as set forth above, Paragraph 3.04 of the
               Kiewit Royalty Indenture dated June 10, 1982 is hereby amended
               to read as follows:

                      3.04   INVESTMENT OF CASH ON HAND. The Trustee may
               invest cash being held as a reserve for liabilities or for
               distribution at the next Payment Date in short-term
               trust-quality investments, including time deposits of the
               Trustee Bank and any open-ended management type investment
               company or investment trust registered pursuant to the Federal
               Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended, provided however,
               that any such investment by the Trustee must mature on or
               before the next succeeding distribution date as provided in
               Section 5.02 and such investment must be held until maturity,
               and the Trustee may further invest in trust-quality fixed net
               asset money market funds which have total assets of One Hundred
               Million Dollars ($100,000,000.00) or more and which consist
               solely of direct obligations of the United States Government
               and/or next-business-day repurchase agreements fully
               collateralized by direct obligations of the United States
               Government.

        C.     For purposes of changing from monthly to quarterly
               administration as set forth above, the following provisions of
               the Kiewit Royalty Trust Indenture dated June 10, 1982, are
               hereby amended to read as follows:

               Paragraph 1.11: "Quarterly Record Date" for each quarter of a
               fiscal year means the close of business on the last Business
               Day of such quarter.

               Paragraph 1.10: "Quarterly Distribution Amount" for each fiscal
               year quarter means the excess, if any, of (a) the cash received
               during such quarter which is attributable to the Royalties,
               plus any decrease during such quarter in any cash reserve
               theretofore established by the Trustee for the payment of
               liabilities of the Trust, plus interest thereon received during
               such quarter and any other cash receipts of the Trust during
               such quarter, over (b) the liabilities of the Trust paid during
               such quarter plus the amount of any cash reserve established or
               increased by the Trustee for the payment of any future or
               contingent liabilities of the Trust.

               Paragraph 5.02: DISTRIBUTIONS. Within ten business days after
               the end of each fiscal quarter, the Trustee shall, for the
               immediately preceding fiscal quarter, distribute pro rata the
               Quarterly Distribution Amount for such immediately preceding
               quarter, to the certificate holders of record on the Quarterly
               Record Date for such quarter.

                                      3

<PAGE>
               Paragraph 5.03: The Trustee intends to treat all income and
               deductions of the Trust for each quarter as having been
               realized on the Quarterly Record Date for such quarter unless
               otherwise advised by counsel or the Internal Revenue Service.

               Additionally, reference to "Monthly Record Date" in paragraph
               4.02 and Paragraph 4.04 shall be changed to "Quarterly Record
               Date."

        D.     The 12b-1 fees received by the Trustee for the period of July
               1987 through April 1990, as further itemized on Exhibit "D"
               attached to the original petition filed herein in these
               proceedings, are hereby approved.

        DATED this 23rd day of September 1994.

                                            BY THE COURT:

                             SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT
                    REGARDING EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

         This Supplemental Agreement Regarding Employees and Employee Benefits
(this "Agreement") dated as of December 21, 2001, by and among Lafarge North
America Inc., a Maryland corporation ("Lafarge NA"), Lafarge SA, a corporation
organized and existing under the laws of France ("Lafarge SA"), and Blue Circle
North America, an indirect subsidiary of Lafarge SA ("BCNA").

                                    RECITALS

         A. By means of its acquisition of Blue Circle Industries PLC ("BCI"),
Lafarge SA acquired BCI's North American businesses, including (i) five
full-production cement plants, a slag grinding facility, eleven cement
terminals, thirteen pits and quarries for producing aggregates, sixty-one
ready-mixed concrete plants and several concrete block operations in the United
States, and certain additional assets in Ontario, Canada and Hamburg, New Jersey
to be divested by BCNA or its subsidiaries to third parties, all as owned and
operated by BCNA and its subsidiaries (such assets being herein collectively
referred to as the "Assets" and the business conducted by BCNA and its
subsidiaries with the Assets being referred to as the "Business") and (ii)
certain assets and operations of BCNA or its subsidiaries which have been or are
currently being divested to third parties.

         B. Lafarge SA has granted and extended to Lafarge NA an option (the
"Option") to purchase the Assets (other than the Assets being divested to third
parties).

         C. Lafarge SA, Lafarge NA and BCNA have entered into a Management
Agreement dated as of July 11, 2001 (the "Management Agreement"), pursuant to
which Lafarge NA is to provide certain ongoing management services to BCNA and
its subsidiaries with respect to the Assets and the Business and also conduct an
Integration Study regarding a proposed structure which would integrate the
operations of the Business with the business of Lafarge NA and identify
synergies and efficiencies which can be achieved from such integration while
maintaining the separate legal existence of BCNA and its subsidiaries and the
separate reporting of its operations and operating results.

         D. In connection with the Integration Study and in an effort to
harmonize the compensation and benefit structure of BCNA and its subsidiaries
with that of Lafarge NA, Lafarge NA, Lafarge SA and BCNA have agreed that during
the term of the Management Agreement those employees of BCNA and its
subsidiaries employed in connection with the Business on December 31, 2001, will
be transferred to the employment of Lafarge NA effective as of January 1, 2002,
and that new employees hired in connection with the Business on and after
January 1, 2002, will be employed by Lafarge NA, on the terms and conditions set
forth in the Management Agreement, as supplemented by this Agreement, it being
understood and agreed that BCNA shall bear the cost of transferring and
employing such employees and the cost and expense of returning such employees to
BCNA in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement, as supplemented
by this Agreement, in the event that the Management Agreement shall terminate
other than as a result of Lafarge NA's exercise of the Option.

<PAGE>

         E. This Agreement shall supplement and be a part of the Management
Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for all other good and valuable
consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

                                    ARTICLE I

                TRANSFER OF EMPLOYEES AND NEW BUSINESS EMPLOYEES
                        AND TERM OF LAFARGE NA EMPLOYMENT

         Section 1.1 Transfer of Employees and New Business Employees. Subject
to the terms and conditions hereof, BCNA shall transfer or shall cause its
subsidiaries to transfer those persons employed by (or on authorized leave of
absence, temporary layoff, or disability leave from) any such entity in
connection with the Business as of December 31, 2001, but specifically excluding
persons employed (or on authorized leave of absence, temporary layoff, or
disability leave from employment) in connection with certain assets and
operations of BCNA or its subsidiaries which have been, are or will be divested
to third parties (the "Transferred Employees") to employment with Lafarge NA or
a subsidiary of Lafarge NA effective as of January 1, 2002. Individuals hired in
connection with the Business (other than the Transferred Employees) on and after
January 1, 2002 (the "New Business Employees") will be employed by Lafarge NA or
a subsidiary of Lafarge NA. The Transferred Employees and the New Business
Employees shall be designated as such by the Senior Vice President - Human
Resources of Lafarge NA.

         Section 1.2 Term of Lafarge NA Employment. Lafarge NA shall employ the
Transferred Employees and the New Business Employees pursuant to this Agreement
during the term (the "Term") commencing on January 1, 2002 with respect to the
Transferred Employees and commencing on the employment commencement date with
respect to each New Business Employee and ending on the first to occur of (i)
December 31, 2004 or (ii) the effective date of the earlier termination of the
Management Agreement (the "Termination Date"). The parties acknowledge that the
employment by Lafarge NA of a particular Transferred Employee or New Business
Employee may terminate earlier than the Termination Date in the event of the
voluntary or involuntary termination of such an employee. In the event that
Lafarge NA shall exercise the Option, this Agreement shall terminate, but the
Transferred Employees and New Business Employees will remain employees of
Lafarge NA or a subsidiary thereof. In the event that this Agreement shall
terminate other than as a result of the exercise of the Option, all Transferred
Employees and New Business Employees (including any Transferred Employees and
New Business Employees on authorized leave of absence, layoff or disability),
other than those Transferred Employees and New Business Employees designated by
the Senior Vice President - Human Resources of Lafarge NA, with the prior
approval of the Special Committee of Lafarge NA (as defined in the Management
Agreement), as being reasonably necessary to the conduct of the business and/or
operations of Lafarge NA, shall be transferred to BCNA and/or its subsidiaries
or to such other entity or entities as may be designated by Lafarge SA and BCNA
shall employ or cause its subsidiaries to employ or such designated entity or
entities shall employ such Transferred Employees and New Business Employees
effective as of the Termination Date.

                                       2
<PAGE>

Effective as of the Termination Date, BCNA and Lafarge SA shall assume any and
all liabilities and obligations of Lafarge NA and its subsidiaries arising from
the employment or termination of employment of the Transferred Employees and the
New Business Employees designated for transfer to BCNA and/or its subsidiaries
as provided in this paragraph.

                                   ARTICLE II

           COMPENSATION, EMPLOYEE BENEFITS AND REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS

         Section 2.1 Compensation. Each Transferred Employee initially will be
employed by Lafarge NA or a subsidiary thereof at an annual salary or hourly
wage that is at least equal to such employee's annual salary or hourly wage with
BCNA or a subsidiary thereof immediately prior to January 1, 2002. During the
Term, Lafarge NA or a subsidiary thereof shall have the right to change the
Transferred Employees' compensation in such manner as it deems to be necessary
or appropriate; provided, however, that Lafarge SA shall approve such changes in
compensation for the Transferred Employees if the change is for reasons other
than to make such compensation consistent with the compensation payable to other
employees of Lafarge NA in comparable positions. Each New Business Employee will
be employed by Lafarge NA or a subsidiary thereof during the Term at such annual
salary or hourly wage as may be determined by Lafarge NA or such subsidiary.

         Section 2.2 Employee Benefits. During the Term, Lafarge NA will provide
the Transferred Employees and the New Business Employees with benefits that are
substantially comparable in the aggregate to those benefits provided to the
Transferred Employees by BCNA and its subsidiaries as in effect on December 31,
2001, or benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those
benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Lafarge NA, subject to the
following:

         (a) Tax-Qualified Defined Benefit Plans. Effective as of January 1,
2002, Lafarge NA will establish (i) tax-qualified defined benefit pension plans
for the benefit of those Transferred Employees and New Business Employees
designated by Lafarge NA who are not members of a collective bargaining
agreement that provide a normal retirement pension formula that is substantially
comparable to the normal retirement pension formula provided under defined
benefit pension plans maintained by BCNA or its subsidiaries, as applicable, as
of December 31, 2001, and (ii) tax-qualified defined benefit pension plans for
the benefit of those Transferred Employees and New Business Employees who are
members of a collective bargaining unit that are substantially comparable to
those defined benefit pension plans maintained by BCNA or its subsidiaries, as
applicable, as of December 31, 2001 (collectively the "DB Plans"). In the event
that this Agreement shall terminate other than by reason of Lafarge NA's
exercise of the Option, then prior to and effective as of the Termination Date,
BCNA agrees to take or cause one of its subsidiaries to take or Lafarge SA will
cause an entity designated by it to take all such action as may be necessary to
become the plan sponsor of the DB Plans and assume all liabilities and
obligations with respect to such plans. During the Term, Lafarge NA shall have
the right to amend the DB Plans in such manner as it deems to be necessary and
appropriate.

                                       3
<PAGE>

         (b) Tax-Qualified Defined Contribution Plans. Effective as of January
1, 2002, Lafarge NA will assume sponsorship of those tax-qualified defined
contribution plans maintained by BCNA or its subsidiaries for the benefit of the
Transferred Employees as in effect on December 31, 2001 (the "DC Plans"). In the
event that this Agreement shall terminate other than by reason of Lafarge NA's
exercise of the Option, then prior to and effective as of the Termination Date,
BCNA agrees to take or cause one of its subsidiaries to take or Lafarge SA will
cause an entity designated by it to take all such action as may be necessary to
become the plan sponsor of the DC Plans and assume all liabilities and
obligations with respect to such plans. During the Term, Lafarge NA shall have
the right to amend the DC Plans in such manner as it deems to be necessary and
appropriate.

         (c) Other Employee Benefit Plans. The Transferred Employees and the New
Business Employees will participate in such other employee benefit plans,
programs, arrangements, and agreements maintained by Lafarge NA or a subsidiary
thereof as Lafarge NA shall determine in its sole discretion. In the event that
this Agreement shall terminate other than by reason of Lafarge NA's exercise of
the Option, then prior to and effective as of the Termination Date, BCNA shall
assume and cause its subsidiaries to assume or Lafarge SA will cause an entity
designated by it to assume any and all liabilities and obligations with respect
to the Transferred Employees and New Business Employees under such plans,
programs, arrangements, and agreements, including but not limited to liabilities
and obligations related to nonqualified plan benefits, retiree medical benefits,
run-off of medical claims, COBRA continuation coverage, severance, short and
long-term disability and any other insurance or benefit program. With respect to
those employee benefit plans, programs, arrangements and agreements maintained
exclusively for the benefit of the Transferred Employees and the New Business
Employees (or a singular Transferred Employee or New Business Employee), in the
event that this Agreement shall terminate other than by reason of Lafarge NA's
exercise of the Option, then prior to and effective as of the Termination Date,
BCNA agrees to take or cause one of its subsidiaries to take or Lafarge SA will
cause an entity designated by it to take all such action as may be necessary to
assume and become the plan sponsor of (or a party to) such employee benefit
plans, programs, arrangements and agreements.

         (d) Collective Bargaining Agreements. Effective as of January 1, 2002,
Lafarge NA or a subsidiary thereof will honor the obligations of BNCA and its
subsidiaries under collective bargaining agreements covering the Transferred
Employees and the New Business Employees while such collective bargaining
agreements are in effect. During the Term, Lafarge NA will have the right to
negotiate with unions that are a party to such collective bargaining agreements
and amend such collective bargaining agreements in accordance with such
negotiations. In the event that this Agreement shall terminate other than by
reason of Lafarge NA's exercise of the Option, then prior to and effective as of
the Termination Date, BCNA shall assume and cause its subsidiaries to assume or
Lafarge SA will cause an entity designated by it to assume any and all
liabilities and obligations with respect to such collective bargaining
agreements and any multiemployer plans (within the meaning of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended) covering the Transferred
Employees and the New Business Employees, including but not limited to any
liabilities and obligations of Lafarge NA or a subsidiary thereof for partial or
complete withdrawal liability under any such multiemployer plans.

         (e) Severance Plans. BCNA and its subsidiaries shall take all such
action as may be necessary or appropriate, including amending their plans and
policies to the extent permissible,

                                       4
<PAGE>

to ensure that the transfer of employment from BCNA or its subsidiaries to
Lafarge NA or a subsidiary thereof as contemplated by this Agreement will not
result in liability for severance benefits or accrued vacation or leave pay to
the Transferred Employees under any plan, policy or arrangement maintained by
BCNA or its subsidiaries. In no event shall Lafarge NA or a subsidiary thereof
be responsible or liable for the payment of benefits under any severance or
change of control agreements, plans or policies maintained by BCNA or its
subsidiaries for the benefit of the Transferred Employees. In the event that
this Agreement shall terminate other than by reason of Lafarge NA's exercise of
the Option and the Transferred Employees and New Business Employees are
transferred back to BCNA or a subsidiary thereof or an entity designated by
Lafarge SA in accordance with this Agreement, Lafarge NA and its subsidiaries
shall not be responsible or liable for payment of severance benefits or accrued
vacation or leave pay to such employees.

         (f) Employment Contracts. In the event that this Agreement shall
terminate other than by reason of Lafarge NA's exercise of the Option, BCNA
shall assume or cause its subsidiaries to assume or Lafarge SA will cause an
entity designated by it to assume any and all liabilities and obligations with
respect to any employment contracts covering those Transferred Employees and New
Business Employees who are transferred back to BCNA or a subsidiary thereof or
an entity designated by Lafarge SA.

         (g) Tax Reporting. BCNA and its subsidiaries shall transfer to Lafarge
NA all Form W-4s that were provided to BCNA or its subsidiaries by the
Transferred Employees in accordance with the Alternate Procedure set forth in
Revenue Procedure 96-60, 1996-2 C.B. 399.

         Section 2.3  Reimbursement of Costs.

         (a) BCNA and Lafarge SA shall reimburse Lafarge NA for all direct and
indirect costs arising from (i) the employment of the Transferred Employees and
the New Business Employees during the Term, (ii) the transfer of the Transferred
Employees and the New Business Employees back to BCNA or a subsidiary thereof in
the event this Agreement terminates other than as a result of the exercise of
the Option, and (iii) the performance of the other obligations undertaken by
Lafarge NA and its subsidiaries under this Agreement, which amount shall be
invoiced monthly by Lafarge NA in arrears. Direct costs shall include but shall
not be limited to costs, including incremental costs, incurred by Lafarge NA
(and income foregone by Lafarge NA) in connection with the payment of wages and
taxes applicable thereto, as well as the provision of employee pension, welfare
and fringe benefits, employee stock purchase plan benefits, and other
incentive-based compensation. Indirect costs shall include but shall not be
limited to costs, including incremental costs, incurred by Lafarge NA for
administrative, legal, accounting, actuarial, and consulting services.

         (b) Notwithstanding Section 2.3(a) above, BCNA and Lafarge SA shall
reimburse Lafarge NA for the cost attributable to options to purchase Lafarge NA
common stock which are granted to the Transferred Employees and the New Business
Employees only in the event that this Agreement shall terminate other than by
