                                 FIRST AMENDMENT
                                       TO
                           LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

                  THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as
of the ___day of August, 2003 (this "First Amendment"), by and among UNITED
STATES LIME & MINERALS, INC., a Texas corporation ("U.S. Lime"), TEXAS LIME
COMPANY, a Texas corporation wholly owned by U.S. Lime ("TLC"), ARKANSAS LIME
COMPANY, an Arkansas corporation wholly owned by U.S. Lime ("ALC") (U.S. Lime,
TLC and ALC are collectively referred to as "Borrowers" and individually as a
"Borrower"), and NATIONAL CITY BANK ("Bank").

                                   Background

         A. Borrowers and Bank are parties to a Loan and Security Agreement
dated as of February 28, 2003 (as amended, restated, or otherwise modified and
in effect from time to time, the "Loan Agreement") pursuant to which Bank
agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, to lend to
Borrowers up to (i) Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) on a revolving loan basis,
and (ii) Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) on a discretionary line of credit
basis for equipment purchases, secured by Borrowers' Accounts, Inventory, and
related personal property, and the equipment purchased with Advances. All
initially capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall
have the same meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

         B. U.S. Lime has incurred $14,000,000 of additional Debt to fund the
second phase of ALC's plant construction (the "Phase II Debt"), evidenced by
promissory notes of U.S. Lime copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit "A"
(the "Phase II Notes"). In connection with the Phase II Notes, U.S. Lime will
issue to the holders of the Phase II Notes warrants to purchase an aggregate of
162,000 shares of U.S. Lime's common stock (the "Warrants"). Borrowers and
Lenders desire to amend the Loan Agreement to, inter alia, approve the terms of
the Phase II Debt, provide for the curtailment of Dividends by U.S. Lime for a
period of two years, amend the Tangible Net Worth covenant set forth in the Loan
Agreement and provide for an increase in the maximum WC Line Amount thereunder.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual
covenants set forth herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound
hereby, agree as follows:

         1. Ratification. This First Amendment is a modification of the Loan
Agreement pursuant to Section 18.11 thereof. Except as expressly set forth
herein, or in any amendment to any of the documents referred to herein,
Borrowers and Bank acknowledge and agree that each and every term, condition and
provision of the Loan Agreement is hereby ratified and confirmed in full.

                                       1
<PAGE>

         2. Outstanding Indebtedness. Borrowers hereby unconditionally
acknowledge that, as of the date hereof, the outstanding principal balance of
the WC Line is $2,200,000 and that such amount, together with interest thereon
at the rates set forth therein, is owing to Bank without claim, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or setoff of any kind.

         3. Increase in Maximum WC Line Amount. The Phase II Debt constitutes an
Additional Funding, and Borrowers may increase the maximum WC Line Amount to
$6,000,000; provided that Borrowers shall give Bank not less than 10 days notice
prior to the date of increase, and on or before such date, Borrowers shall have
executed and delivered to Bank an amended and restated WC Line Note in the
original principal amount of $6,000,000 together with such other documents and
instruments Bank may require in order to effect the increase.

         4. Tangible Net Worth Covenant. Section 8.2 of the Loan Agreement is
hereby amended and restated in its entirety as of the date hereof as follows:

         "Permit Tangible Net Worth as of the last day of any fiscal quarter to
         be less than the sum of $25,000,000 ($30,000,000 for the fiscal quarter
         ended June 30, 2003 and each fiscal quarter thereafter), plus 50% of
         Borrowers' cumulative Net Income from January 1, 1999 calculated for
         each succeeding fiscal quarter through the last day of such fiscal
         quarter.

         5. Transactions With Affiliates. Borrowers represent and warrant to
Bank that the Phase II Notes, the Warrants and the related Note and Warrant
Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement (collectively, the "Phase
II Debt Documents") fully disclose the transactions contemplated thereby, and
there are no other documents or instruments executed or delivered in connection
with such transactions other than the Phase II Debt Documents and a related
Confidential Memorandum dated May 2003 prepared by Frost Securities, Inc. with
respect to U.S. Lime. Bank acknowledges that one or more of the holders of the
Phase II Notes and Warrants is an Affiliate of Borrowers, and hereby approves
the fairness and reasonableness of the Phase II Debt Documents as required by
Section 9.9 of the Loan Agreement.

         6. Warrants. The Bank hereby consents to the issuance of the Warrants.

         7. Suspension of Dividends. Section 9.7 of the Loan Agreement
notwithstanding, during the two-year period commencing June 30, 2003 to June 30,
2005, U.S. Lime will not declare, pay or accrue any dividend payable in cash to
any of its shareholders without the prior written consent of Bank.

         8. Amendments to Phase II Debt; Notice. U.S. Lime agrees (i) not to
amend or modify the put right in the Common Stock Purchase Warrants issued to
the holders of the Phase II Debt without the prior written consent of Bank, and
(ii) to provide prompt written notice to Bank of any amendment, restatement or
other modification of any of the Phase II Debt Documents. Upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default, Borrowers shall promptly notify each holder of the Phase II
Notes thereof and of the commencement of a Standstill Period (as defined in the
Phase II Notes) if then applicable.

         9. Representations and Warranties. To induce Bank to approve the
modifications contemplated by this First Amendment and the Phase II Debt,
Borrowers jointly and severally represent and warrant to Bank as follows:

in all material respects as of the date hereof, with the same force and effect
as though made as of the date hereof;

                  9.2 No Event of Default or Default has occurred and is
continuing under the Loan Agreement as of the date hereof, and neither the
execution, delivery nor performance of the Phase II Notes or the Warrants

                  9.3 Each Borrower is a corporation validly subsisting under

or any resolution of the Board of Directors of any Borrower, and (iv) require no
consent or approval of any governmental authority or any third party which has
not been obtained; and

other documents and instruments executed and delivered by such Borrower to Bank
in connection herewith have each been validly executed by, and are enforceable
against, such Borrower in accordance with their respective terms.

Any failure of any of the representations and warranties made by Borrowers in
this First Amendment to be true and correct in all material respects when made

restate the warrants of attorney to confess judgment contained in the various
Loan Documents including, without limitation, those contained in the WC Line

     1.     Employment and Term. The Company hereby employs the Employee and the

attention, skill and efforts to the performance of the duties required by or
appropriate for the Position. The Employee shall report to the Chief Executive

additional and other duties as may be assigned to the Employee from time to

          4.5 Reimbursement of Expenses. The Employee shall be reimbursed for all

are documented and submitted to the Company all in accordance with the
reimbursement policies of the Company as in effect from time to time.

          4.6 Indemnification. The Employee, in any capacity on behalf of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, shall be entitled to
exculpation, indemnification, and advancement of expenses to the fullest extent
not prohibited by Delaware or other applicable law, all as more fully described
by an Indemnification Agreement that has been entered into between the Employee
and the Company substantially in the form used by the Company with its
executive officers. The Employee shall also be entitled to coverage under each
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, if any, maintained by or
on behalf of the Company’s directors and officers.

     5.     Confidentiality. The Employee recognizes and acknowledges that the

unique asset of the Company. As a result, both during the Term and for a
period of five (5) years thereafter, the Employee shall not, without the prior
written consent of the Company, for any reason either directly or indirectly
divulge to any third-party or use for the Employee’s own benefit, or for any
purpose other than the exclusive benefit of the Company, any confidential,
proprietary, business and technical information or trade secrets of the Company
or of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company (the “Proprietary
Information”) revealed, obtained or developed in the course of the Employee’s
employment with the Company. Proprietary Information shall include, but shall
not be limited to: the intangible personal property described in Section 6(b)
hereof; any information relating to methods of production, manufacture and

and object code listings, program logic algorithms, subroutines, modules
or other subparts of computer programs and related documentation, including
program notation), computer inputs and outputs (regardless of the media on
which stored or located) and computer processing systems, techniques, designs,
architecture, and interfaces; the identities of, the Company’s relationship
with, the terms of contracts and agreements with, the needs and requirements
of, and the Company’s course of dealing with, the Company’s actual and
prospective customers, contractors and suppliers; and any other materials

costs, business studies, business procedures, finances, marketing data,
methods, plans, personnel information, customer and vendor credit information

make such disclosures during the course of the Employee’s employment as may be
necessary or appropriate to the effective and efficient discharge of the duties
required by or appropriate for the Position or as such disclosures may be
required by law. Furthermore, nothing contained herein shall restrict the
Employee from divulging or using for the Employee’s own benefit or for any
other purpose any Proprietary Information that is readily available to the
general public so long as such information did not become available to the
general public as a direct or indirect result of the Employee’s breach of this
Section 5. Failure by the Company to mark any of the Proprietary Information
as confidential or proprietary shall not affect its status as Proprietary
Information under the terms of this Agreement.

     6.     Property.

          (a) All right, title and interest in and to Proprietary Information shall
be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company. During the Term,
the Employee shall not remove from the Company’s offices or premises any
documents, records, notebooks, drawings, sketches, program listings, files,
correspondence, reports, memoranda or similar materials of or containing
Proprietary Information, or other materials or property of any kind belonging
to the Company unless necessary or appropriate in accordance with the duties
and responsibilities required by or appropriate for the Position and, in the
event that such materials or property are removed, all of the foregoing shall
be returned to their proper files or places of safekeeping as promptly as
possible after the removal shall serve its specific purpose. The Employee
shall not make, retain, remove and/or distribute any copies of any of the
foregoing for any reason whatsoever, except as may be necessary in the
discharge of the assigned duties, and shall not divulge to any third person the
nature of and/or contents of any of the foregoing or of any other oral or
written information to which the Employee may have access or with which for any
reason the Employee may become familiar, except as disclosure shall be
necessary in the performance of the duties; and upon the earlier of (i) a
request by the Company or (ii) the termination of the Employee’s employment
with the Company, the Employee shall return to the Company all originals and
copies of the foregoing then in the possession, whether prepared by the
Employee or by others.

          (b) (i) The Employee acknowledges that all right, title and interest in

Product, and when such protection is obtained, renew and restore the same, or
(B) to defend any opposition proceedings in respect of obtaining and
maintaining such copyright, patent, trademark or other analogous protection.

               (iv) In the event that the Company is unable after reasonable effort to
secure the Employee’s signature on any of the documents referenced in Section
6(b)(iii) hereof, whether because of the Employee’s physical or mental
incapacity or for any other reason whatsoever, the Employee hereby irrevocably
designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents
as the Employee’s agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and in the Employee’s
behalf and stead to execute and file any such documents and to do all other
lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of any such
copyright, patent, trademark or other analogous protection with the same legal
force and effect as if executed by the Employee.

               (v) The Employee represents that the innovations, designs, systems,
analyses, ideas for marketing programs, and all copyrights, patents, trademarks
and trade names, or similar intangible personal property identified on Schedule

account of any remuneration or benefits attributable to any subsequent
employment (including, without limitation, any self-employment) that Employee
may obtain.

employment hereunder.

     11.     Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
and be binding upon the Company and the Employee and their respective
successors, executors, administrators, heirs and/or permitted assigns; provided

Agreement or any interest herein, by operation of law or otherwise, without the
prior written consent of the other parties hereto, except that, without such
consent, the Company may assign this Agreement to any successor to all or
substantially all of its assets and business by means of liquidation,
dissolution, merger, consolidation, transfer of assets, or otherwise, provided

agreement and

understanding of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof,
and merges and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous discussions, agreements
and understandings of every nature between the parties hereto relating to the
employment of the Employee with the Company, including but not limited to, the
Term Sheet and the Employment Agreement. This Agreement may not be changed or
modified, except by an agreement in writing signed by each of the parties
hereto.

     14.     Waiver. The waiver of the breach of any term or provision of this
Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other or
subsequent breach of this Agreement.

     15.     Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to the
principles of conflicts of laws of any jurisdiction.

     16.     Invalidity. If any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to
be void, invalid, unenforceable or illegal for any reason, then the validity
and enforceability of all of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be
affected thereby. If any particular provision of this Agreement shall be
adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, then such provision shall be deemed
amended to delete therefrom the portion thus adjudicated to be invalid or
unenforceable, such amendment to apply only to the operation of such provision
in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made; provided
that if any provision contained in this Agreement shall be adjudicated to be
invalid or unenforceable because such provision is held to be excessively broad
as to duration, geographic scope, activity or subject, then such provision
shall be deemed amended by limiting and reducing it so as to be valid and
enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with the applicable laws of such
jurisdiction, such amendment only to apply with respect to the operation of
such provision in the applicable jurisdiction in which the adjudication is
made.

     17.     Section Headings. The section headings in this Agreement are for
convenience only; they form no part of this Agreement and shall not affect its

     18.     Number of Days. In computing the number of days for purposes of this
Agreement, all days shall be counted, including Saturdays, Sundays and legal
holidays; provided that if the final day of any time period falls on a

shall be deemed to be the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal
holiday.

     19.     Specific Enforcement; Extension of Period.

          (a) The Employee acknowledges that the restrictions contained in Sections
5, 6, and 7 hereof are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate
interests of the Company and its affiliates and that the Company would not have
entered into this Agreement in the absence of such restrictions. The Employee
also acknowledges that any breach by the Employee of Sections 5, 6, or 7 hereof
will cause continuing and irreparable injury to the Company for which monetary
damages would not be an adequate remedy. The Employee shall not, in any
action or proceeding to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, assert
the claim or defense that an adequate remedy at law exists. In the event of
such breach by the Employee, the Company shall have the right to enforce the
provisions of Sections 5, 6, and 7 of this Agreement by seeking injunctive or
other relief in any court, and this Agreement shall not in any way limit
remedies of law or in equity otherwise available to the Company.

          (b) The periods of time set forth in Sections 5, 6 and 7 hereof shall not
include, and shall be deemed extended by, any time required for litigation to
enforce the relevant covenant periods, provided that the Company is successful
on the merits in any such litigation. The “time required for litigation” is
herein defined to mean the period of time commencing on the earlier of the
Employee’s first breach of such covenants or the service of process upon the
Employee ending on the expiration of all appeals related to such litigation.

     20.     Arbitration. Except for claims or disputes related to the
rights and obligations of the parties set forth in Sections 5, 6 and 7 hereof,
the parties hereto agree that any controversy or claims arising out of or
relating to this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in
accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of
the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) as then in effect. The parties
hereto further agree that any arbitration proceeding commenced in connection
with this Agreement shall take place in Dallas, Texas under the auspices of the
AAA and judgment upon the award rendered by the Arbitrator(s) may be

Confidential Page 10 of 11

 

entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The prevailing party
shall be entitled to recover, in addition to any other relief, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements.

     21.     Consent to Suit. In the case of any dispute under or in connection
with this Agreement, the Employee may only bring suit against the Company in
the Courts of the State of Texas in and for the County of Dallas or in the
Federal District Court for such geographic location. The Employee hereby
consents to the jurisdiction and venue of the courts of the State of Texas in
and for the County of Dallas or the Federal District Court for such geographic
location, provided that such Federal Court has subject matter jurisdiction over
such dispute, and the Employee hereby waives any claim she may have at any time
as to forum non conveniens with respect to such venue. The Company shall have
