AMENDMENT NO. 1

    Between

    TXI
OPERATIONS LP

    AND

    AMEC-ZACHRY
CONTRACTORS

    FOR
THE HUNTER CEMENT PLANT, NEW BRAUNFELS, TEXAS

    

    This
Contract Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) is made effective the 17th day of
August, 2009 (“Effective Date”) as an amendment to that certain Contract and All
Exhibits by and between AMEC-ZACHRY CONTRACTORS, a Joint Venture between Zachry
Construction Corporation, now known as Zachry Industrial, Inc. and AMEC E&C
Services, Inc. with its principal office at 527 Logwood, San Antonio, Texas
78221, (hereinafter called "Contractor"), and TXI OPERATIONS LP, a Delaware
limited partnership with its principal office at 1341 W. Mockingbird Lane,
Dallas, Texas 75247, (hereinafter called "Owner)",as such Contract has been
amended to date by fully executed Change Orders numbered 00001 through 00006,
inclusive (the “Contract”).

    

    WHEREAS, in December, 2008,
Owner determined, in its sole discretion and through no fault of Contractor,
that the Work, as partially executed by Contractor, should be brought to an
early completion by reducing the original scope of Work in order to provide
short term cash savings to Owner; and,

    

    WHEREAS, Owner and Contractor
executed Change Order 00004, dated January 19, 2009, so as to amend the
description of the Work to be performed under the Contract, primarily by
elimination of certain tasks from the scope of the Work, and the addition of
certain tasks related to the orderly conclusion of Work previously performed;
and,

    

    WHEREAS, per the terms of
Change Order 00004, the Parties agreed that Contractor will complete the Work,
as such term was amended by such Change Order 00004; and,

    

    WHEREAS, neither the
Contractor nor the Owner is in default under the Contract; and,

    

    WHEREAS, the Parties have
resolved all outstanding change order requests as of the Effective Date hereof
to their mutual satisfaction and there are no payment obligations, pending
change orders or other unresolved issues between the Parties, except for the
final payment of the balance of the Contract Price in the amount of $300,000, as
further set out in Article 2 below; and,

    

    WHEREAS, the Parties have
determined that due to Owner’s decision to leave certain elements of the Project
unfinished and not operational, it is in the Parties’ best interest to clarify
that the Work has been concluded under the Contract, except for any continuing
obligations of the Parties that survive per the terms of the Contract unless
specifically released by this Amendment.

     

    NOW, THEREFORE, for and in
consideration of the mutual obligations and promises hereinafter set forth,
Contractor and Owner agree to amend the Contract as follows:

    

    Article
1.  Conclusion of the Work under the Contract

    

    A.           The
Owner and Contractor agree that the Work specified under the Contract shall be
deemed to be complete as of the close of business on May 15, 2009 (the
“Completion Date”).  The obligations set forth in Article 1. B. shall
be enforceable in accordance with the terms of the Agreement as originally
written, including dispute resolution provisions set forth in the
Contract.

    B.           In
addition to any other obligation which by its terms in the Agreement is intended
to survive Mechanical Completion, the following obligations of the Parties shall
survive the Completion Date, and shall continue in effect until such time as
Owner and Contractor have fulfilled such obligations:

     

    

    1)  Contractor
will provide the warranty set forth in Sections 6.27.1. 6.27.2, 6.27.3, 6.27.4
6.27.5, 6.27.6, and 6.28 of the Contract, beginning on the Completion Date
specified above, for all Work as such term has been modified and amended by
Change Order #0004, except for the gearboxes located in Area 5F1 for which no
warranty, express or implied, is provided by Contractor.  For purposes
of commencement of the Warranty Period, the Work will be deemed to be complete
on the Completion Date, and the Warranty Period will run for twelve (12) months
from the Completion Date specified in this Amendment.

    

    2)  Not
by way of limitation, Sections 6.5, 6.6.1, 6.21, 6.27.1-6.27.6, 6.28, 6.29,
6.31, 6.39, 7.1, 7.4, and Article 8 of the Contract shall survive conclusion of
the Work under the Contract or other termination of the
Contract.  Sections 6.27.5 and 6.27.6 shall survive conclusion of the
Work, but shall not be applicable to the extent Contractor is not required to
deliver or install an item as a result of Change Order #0004.

    

    3)  The
parties agree that Contractor has provided to Owner the required drawings,
maintenance manuals, and specifications noted in Change Order #00004 Scope of
Work.

    

    Article 2.  Finish
Mill Gearboxes and Final Payment

    

    As of the
Effective Date hereof, Owner has not executed an Acceptance Certificate as to
one remaining area of the Scope of Work, referred to in Change Order 00004 as
Area 5F1, which is the Finish Mill. The Parties acknowledge and agree that they
have resolved this item as follows:

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              1)

            	
              Owner
      will Sign the Final Punchlist Item for Area 5F1 and return to
      Contractor.

            

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              2)

            	
              Owner
      will Sign the 5F1 Area Acceptance Certificate, the last remaining such
      form for the entire scope of work according to Change Order No. 00004, and
      return to Contractor.

            

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              3)

            	
              Owner
      will issue an invoice to Contractor for $1.2MM to reimburse owner for
      Owner’s purchase and installation of new gear
  boxes.

            

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              4)

            	
              Owner
      will net their $1.2MM invoice against the $1.5MM balance of the Contract
      Price.

            

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              5)

            	
              Owner
      will pay Contractor $.3MM balance due to
  Contractor.

            

    

    

    Owner
agrees that the deduction of $1.2MM is in full satisfaction for any costs it has
incurred or may incur in the future in connection with the gear boxes, and by
executing the Area 5F1 Acceptance Certificate, Owner releases Contractor from
any liability for costs that have been incurred or which may be incurred in the
future with regard to said gear boxes.  The parties expressly agree
that Contractor has no warranty obligations to Owner whatsoever for the
replacement gear boxes or their subsequent installation or
performance.

    

    

    Article
3.  Substantial Completion and Mechanical
Completion

    

    A.           Section
1.1(1) of the Contract shall be amended to replace the phrase “Mechanically
Complete new 3850 short tons per day” with the phrase “partially complete new
3850 short tons per day”.

    B.           The
Parties agree that the definition and references to “Substantial Completion” in
the original contract are deleted and replaced in each place that they occur by
the “Acceptance Certificate by Area” as described in Change Order
#0004.

    

    C.           The
Parties further acknowledge that the list of items to be turned over to Owner
under “Mechanical Completion” has been substantially modified and shortened by
Change Order 00004; and the event of Mechanical Completion is deemed to be
completed as of the Completion Date specified in this
Amendment.  Execution by Owner of Acceptance Certificates by Area will
reflect Owner’s certification that Contractor has successfully completed each
area of Work.

    

    Article
4.  Pass-Through Warranties

    

    Contractor
has provided Owner with certain information regarding warranties provided by its
subcontractors or vendors with respect to equipment or materials included within
Contractor’s scope of Work to the extent Contractor was able to procure such
warranties prior to the termination of those subcontracts and purchase orders or
purchase agreements. A list of such subcontractors or vendors and associated
warranties is attached hereto as Exhibit A.  Contractor represents and
warrants to Owner that the warranties provided in the attached list were the
only warranties that were reasonably available (as required by Section 6.28 of
the Agreement).  Contractor will remain obligated to administer such
warranties as specified in Section 6.28 of the Agreement during the Warranty
Period specified in Article 1(B)(3) above, will assign such warranties to Owner
upon conclusion of such Warranty Period, and shall otherwise continue to perform
its obligations as specified in Section 6.28 of the Agreement.

    SEVERANCE
AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE

     

    FINLAY
FINE JEWELRY CORPORATION, its parent corporation, affiliates, subsidiaries,
successors, assigns, current and former employees, directors and agents
(collectively "Finlay") and JOSEPH MELVIN, whose address is 133 Stephen Mather
Road, Darien, CT 06820, hereby agree that:

     

    1.           Your
employment has terminated effective August 14, 2009 (the "Termination
Date").  You have been paid your salary earned through the Termination
Date in accordance with Finlay's regular payroll cycle (unless otherwise
required by local law).

     

    2.           Under
Finlay's regular policies, you are eligible:

     

    a.           To
receive your vested accounts, if any, under the 401(k) plan.  You will
receive more detailed information regarding your 401(k) benefits under separate
cover.

     

    b.           To
receive payment for your accrued but unused vacation and personal
days.

     

    c.           If
you are currently enrolled in Finlay's health insurance plans, to continue such
health insurance coverage in accordance with COBRA, for a minimum of eighteen
(18) months from the Termination Date, upon payment of the full applicable
premiums.  You have received under separate cover more detailed
information regarding insurance benefits under COBRA.  Nothing
contained in this Severance Agreement and General Release (the "Agreement and
Release") is intended to impair any of these rights.

     

    3.           In
consideration for signing this Agreement and Release, in lieu of any other
severance, retention or bonus payments to which you might otherwise be entitled
under Finlay’s regular policies, commencing on Finlay's regular pay date
immediately following the last to occur of your execution of this Agreement and
Release, the Termination Date and the Employee Irrevocability Date, you will
receive, in six (6) installments, severance pay totaling twelve (12) weeks’
salary (i.e. $107,320.62), less applicable taxes and other withholding.

     

    Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the payment of any benefits hereunder in excess
of two (2) months’ base salary (the “Mitigated Benefits”) shall be reduced by an
amount equal to the gross amounts you received or earned as compensation,
profits or otherwise from your employment or engagement in any business or
activity with Finlay (excluding any investment income or capital gains) with
respect to the same period for which such Mitigated Benefits are payable (“Other
Income”).  As a condition to receipt of payment of the Mitigated
Benefits, you shall, no later than seven (7) days prior to the date such payment
is due, certify in writing to the Senior Vice President, Human Resources of
Finlay, all amounts of Other Income earned by you during the preceding payroll
period so that the appropriate offsets can be made.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

       

    

    You
understand and agree that you would not receive the payment specified in this
section "3" above, except for your execution of this Agreement and Release and
the fulfillment of the promises contained herein.

    

    4.           You
understand that Finlay makes no representation as to the income tax treatment of
any payments hereunder and that any and all payments (and all compensation,
benefits and/or other payments previously made to you by Finlay) will be subject
to such tax treatment and to such deductions, if any, as may be required under
applicable tax laws.

     

    You
affirm that you have been paid and/or received all compensation, wages, bonuses,
commission, and/or benefits, to which you may be entitled and that no other
compensation, wages, bonuses, commissions and/or benefits are due to you except
as provided in this Agreement and Release.

     

    5.           a.           You
agree that you will take no action, which is intended, or would reasonably be
expected to harm Finlay, to impair Finlay's reputation, or to lead to unwanted
or unfavorable publicity to Finlay, nor will you disclose any confidential or
proprietary information obtained by you during the course of your
employment.

     

    b.   In
consideration of the terms hereof, you hereby agree and forever waive any claims
you may have for re-employment by Finlay.

     

    6.           It
is expressly understood and agreed that this Agreement and Release and the
effectuation of its terms do not constitute an admission or statement by any
party that Finlay has acted unlawfully or is otherwise liable in any
respect.  It is further agreed that evidence of this Agreement and
Release, its terms or the circumstances surrounding the parties entering into
this Agreement and Release, shall be inadmissible in any action or lawsuit of
any kind, except for an action for alleged breach of this Agreement and
Release.

     

    7.           You
agree not to disclose any information regarding the existence or substance of
this Agreement and Release, except to an attorney with whom you choose to
consult regarding your consideration of this Agreement and Release, your
spouse/life partner or your tax advisor.

     

    8.           You
knowingly and voluntarily release and forever discharge Finlay, of and from any
and all claims, known and unknown, which against Finlay you and your heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns (referred to collectively
throughout this Agreement and Release as "you") have or may have as of the date
of execution of this Agreement and Release, including, but not limited to, any
