stockholders of its approximately 65% equity ownership interest in CXP; and

         WHEREAS, CXP and Centex also entered into a Distribution Agreement
dated as of July 21, 2003 (the "Distribution Agreement") pursuant to which (i)
CXP will pay a cash dividend to all of the holders of CXP's common stock
immediately prior to the reclassification and distribution; (ii) Centex will
distribute all of its holdings of CXP Class B Common Stock and all of its
holdings of CXP's common stock to Centex's stockholders on a pro rata basis; and
(iii) CXP changed its corporate name to Eagle Materials, Inc.; and

         WHEREAS, Eagle and Centex mutually desire to terminate the Predecessor
Agreement; and

         WHEREAS, as a related company of Centex, CXP used certain trademarks in
connection with its business, and the Parties desire to enter into this
Agreement to govern the continued use of those trademarks after the termination
of the Predecessor Agreement and the transactions described above.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained
herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is
hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

3. THE CENTEX MATERIALS MARKS

non-sublicensable, exclusive, perpetual, and royalty-free license to use the
Centex Materials Marks in connection with its ready-mix concrete and aggregates
operations within the State of Texas, subject to the limitations set forth in
this Agreement. The grant of the license hereunder to the Centex Materials Marks
is non-transferable and non-assignable, except that CM may transfer and/or
assign the license to a Subsidiary that is the surviving company of a merger,
reorganization or consolidation with CM or another Subsidiary of the Eagle
Group. Except as expressly set forth herein, no rights or licenses are granted
to CM by Centex with respect to any other trademark, service mark, and/or trade
name other than the Centex Materials Marks.

         3.2 Ownership. CM acknowledges that Centex owns the Centex Materials
Marks and all rights therein and that nothing in this Agreement shall give CM
any right, title or interest in or to the Centex Materials Marks other than
pursuant to the license granted hereby.

         3.3 No Challenge. CM agrees that it will do nothing inconsistent with
Centex's ownership of the Centex Materials Marks and shall not claim adversely
to Centex, or assist any third party in attempting to claim adversely to Centex,
with regards to such ownership. CM agrees that it will not challenge the title
of Centex to the Centex Materials Marks, oppose any registration thereof, or
challenge the validity of this Agreement or the licenses granted herein.

         3.4 Maintenance. All costs associated with maintaining or renewing the
Centex Materials Marks shall be borne by CM. CM, in its discretion, shall have
the sole authority to decide whether to maintain and renew registrations for the
Centex Materials Marks. At CM's request and cost, Centex shall cooperate with CM
and shall in general take such actions as are necessary to facilitate the
maintenance and renewal of the Centex Materials Marks, including timely
executing all documents necessary to do so, including without limitation powers
of attorney, declarations, and affidavits. CM shall provide Centex any

         (a) CM and Centex acknowledge and agree that Centex is intimately
familiar with CM's abilities and expertise in the manufacture of readymix
concrete and aggregates (including without limitation sand, gravel and other
like material).

         (b) CM agrees that all goods sold under the Centex Materials Marks will
be of high quality, standard and skill. CM and Centex acknowledge and agree that
due to the longstanding close working relationship between them, the fact that
officer(s) of Centex are on Eagle's Board of Directors, and given the high
degree of Centex's familiarity with CM's abilities and expertise in the conduct
of its business, Centex is entitled to rely upon CM's own efforts to control the
quality of the goods and services offered under the Centex Materials Marks.

         (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Centex shall have the right to
impose on CM, as necessary, other specifications or requirements not provided
for in this Agreement to ensure the requisite quality standards with respect to
products manufactured or sold by CM that display the Centex Materials Marks.
Further, CM shall, on reasonable request and notice from Centex, make available
to CM samples of goods or materials displaying the Centex Materials Marks.

         3.6 Protection; enforcement.

         (a) CM shall promptly notify Centex of any and all infringements,
imitations, simulations or other illegal use or misuse of the Centex Materials
Marks that come to CM's attention. As the sole owner of the Centex Materials
Marks, Centex shall determine whether to take any action to prevent the
infringement, imitation, simulation or other illegal use or misuse of the Centex
Materials Marks.

         (b) CM shall render Centex all reasonable assistance in connection with
any matter pertaining to the protection, enforcement or infringement of the
Centex Materials Marks, whether in the courts, administrative or quasi-judicial
agencies, or otherwise.

         3.7 Termination. Centex shall have the right to terminate this license

days or more following written notice of such breach from Centex, or (b) CM
abandons the use of the Centex Materials Marks, or provides notice to Centex of
its desire to terminate the license. Upon termination of the license, CM agrees
it shall immediately cease any and all use of the Centex Materials Marks.

Marks in connection with the Eagle Business, and (ii) is transferable and
assignable except to the extent that any such transfer or assignment is
prohibited by the provisions of Section 4.5(b) of that certain Distribution
Agreement between Centex and Eagle dated November 4, 2003. Notwithstanding the
licenses granted herein and any of the provisions hereof, no rights or licenses
are granted to Eagle by Centex with respect to any other trademark, service
mark, and/or trade name other than the Licensed Marks.

         4.2 Ownership. Eagle acknowledges that Centex owns the Licensed Marks
and all rights therein and that nothing in this Agreement shall give Eagle or
the Eagle Group any right, title or interest in or to the Licensed Marks other
than pursuant to the license granted hereby.

         4.3 No Challenge. Eagle agrees that it will do nothing inconsistent
with Centex's ownership of the Licensed Marks and shall not claim adversely to
Centex, or assist any third party in attempting to claim adversely to Centex,
with regards to such ownership. Eagle agrees that it will not challenge the
title of Centex to the Licensed Marks, oppose any registration thereof, or
challenge the validity of this Agreement or the licenses granted herein.

         4.4 Maintenance. All costs associated with maintaining or renewing the
Licensed Marks shall be borne by Eagle. Eagle, in its discretion, shall have the
sole authority to decide whether to maintain and renew registrations for the
Licensed Marks. At Eagle's request and cost, Centex shall cooperate with Eagle
and shall in general take such actions as are necessary to facilitate the
maintenance and renewal of the Licensed Marks, including timely executing all
documents necessary to do so, including without limitation all powers of
attorney, declarations and affidavits. Eagle shall provide Centex any reasonably
required information requested by Centex to facilitate its timely execution of
such documents.

         4.5 No Liens. Centex represents and warrants that the Licensed Marks

Eagle shall have the right to purchase any or all of the right, title and
interest in and to the Licensed Marks for a price to be mutually agreed to
between Eagle and Centex, such price to take into account the fact that Eagle
will already have the perpetual and exclusive right to use, maintain and enforce
the Licensed Marks pursuant to this Agreement.

         4.7 Quality Control.

         (a) Centex and Eagle acknowledge and agree that Centex is intimately

without obtaining the consent or approval of Centex, request that any third
party cease and desist from any unauthorized use or infringement of any of the
Licensed Marks.

         (b) Centex shall render all reasonable assistance to Eagle in

infringement of the Licensed Marks, whether in the courts, administrative or

                        ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT

         This Administrative Services Agreement ("Agreement") is made and
entered into as of January 30, 2004 by and between EAGLE MATERIALS INC.,
formerly known as Centex Construction Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Eagle"), and CENTEX SERVICE COMPANY, a Nevada corporation ("Service Company").

                                    RECITALS

         Eagle desires to engage Service Company to perform certain services for
Eagle as hereinafter set forth, and Service Company desires to accept such
engagement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement.

                                    AGREEMENT

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Eagle and Service
Company do hereby agree as follows.

         1. Term of Agreement. The initial term of this Agreement shall extend
from the date hereof to the close of business on December 31, 2005, provided
that this Agreement may be sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions
of Section 8 hereof.

         2. Services. Service Company shall provide to Eagle such services as
are described in Exhibit A hereto. Following the conclusion of the first six
months of the two year term of this Agreement, the parties will implement a
mutual plan to discontinue all of the Services provided hereunder by Service
Company to Eagle incrementally over the next eighteen months so that by the end
of the two year term all of such services will be provided internally by Eagle,
or to Eagle by third parties not affiliated with Service Company.

         3. Insurance Coverage. At the commencement of this Agreement, Service
Company will provide consultation to Eagle, on reasonable terms, as to all of
Eagle's insurance and bonding programs, including general liability, primary and
excess umbrella, automobile, and workers' compensation, for the benefit of
Eagle.

         4. Liability of Service Company. Service Company shall not be liable,
responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to Eagle for any act
performed by Service Company on behalf of Eagle in a manner reasonably believed
by Service Company to be within the scope of the authority granted to it by this
Agreement and in the interest of Eagle, provided that Service Company was not
guilty of gross negligence or willful or wanton misconduct.

         5. Indemnification. Eagle shall indemnify, save harmless and defend
Service Company and each of Service Company's shareholders, directors, officers,
employees, agents, attorneys and insurers (individually, an "Indemnitee")
against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties,
amounts paid in settlement and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
incurred as the result of the negligence of any Indemnitee, or otherwise,
arising out of or in connection with anything done or omitted by such Indemnitee
in

                                                                               1
<PAGE>

connection with the performance by Service Company of its duties and obligations
under this Agreement, provided that such Indemnitee's conduct did not constitute
gross negligence or willful or wanton misconduct. Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, the obligation of Eagle to indemnify, save
harmless and defend each Indemnitee will survive the expiration or termination
of this Agreement, no matter what the reason thereof, and such obligation to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless will remain binding upon Eagle thereafter.

         6. Compensation. Service Company shall receive a fee for its services
under this Agreement of $16,750 per month, which shall be paid by Eagle to the
Service Company within five (5) days after the end of each month, which amount
is intended to represent the cost to Service Company of providing such services,
and the parties hereto hereby agree that such amount represents such cost. If
Eagle fails to make such monthly payment within ten (10) days following the
first of any month, the amount so owing by Eagle shall bear interest from and
after the first day of such month until such amount has been paid in full at a
rate equal to the lesser of the prime rate announced or published by Bank of
America or the maximum rate of interest allowed by law.

         In addition to the monthly compensation described above, Eagle will
reimburse Service Company for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Service
Company in connection with the performance of services described above in
Section 2. Out-of-pocket expenses will not include general and administrative
services.

         7. Assignment and Delegation. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns; provided, however, that this Agreement may not be assigned by either
party without the prior written consent of the other party hereto. Any consent
granted by either party to an assignment by the other party shall not be deemed
a consent to any subsequent assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Service
Company may, without the consent of Eagle, assign and delegate the performance
of and the responsibility for any duties and obligations of Service Company
hereunder to any corporation, firm joint venture or partnership fifty percent
(50%) or more of whose voting stock (or its equivalent) is owned directly or
indirectly by, or which is otherwise controlled by, Centex Corporation. Upon
execution of any such assignment and delegation, notice thereof in the form of
an executed copy of the document or instrument effecting such assignment and
delegation shall be delivered promptly by Service Company to Eagle and Service
Company shall be released from any further obligation or responsibility under
this Agreement for the performance of the duties and obligations so assigned and
delegated.

         8. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by any of the
following methods:

                  (a) This Agreement may be terminated at any time by written
         agreement of the parties hereto.

                  (b) If either party fails to make any payment due hereunder or
         breaches any of the other terms of this Agreement in any material
         respect, the other party hereto shall give the breaching party written
         notice of such breach. If the breaching party fails to remedy the
         breach within thirty (30) days after receiving such notice, the other
         party may terminate this Agreement; provided, however, that if at the
         expiration of such thirty (30) day period the breaching party is
         diligently using its best efforts to remedy the breach, the other party

                                                                               2
<PAGE>

         may not terminate this Agreement on account of such breach during the
         additional period, not to exceed sixty (60) days, in which the
         breaching party continues without interruption to use its best efforts
         to remedy the breach.

                  (c) If either party hereto shall be dissolved and its business
         terminated, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the
         effectiveness of such dissolution.

                  (d) This Agreement may be terminated by notice of Eagle to
         Service Company delivered no less than thirty (30) days prior to the
         effective date of termination, and such notice may be delivered for any
         reason.

         No termination of this Agreement shall have the effect of terminating
Service Company's right to collect any amounts owed to it under this Agreement.

         Within thirty (30) days following the termination of this Agreement,
Service Company shall deliver to Eagle all instruments, documents, reports,
books, accounts and records, and copies thereof, that Service Company has
received from Eagle, or is holding on the behalf of Eagle, in connection with
the rendering of services hereunder.

         9. Confidentiality. Service Company agrees that any information
regarding Eagle that Service Company obtains or is furnished in connection with
the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, including,
but not limited to, information regarding Eagle's business and operations, is
confidential and proprietary, and Service Company agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of such information and not to disclose such information to any
other party without prior written consent of Eagle, except to the extent that
such disclosure is necessary to enable Service Company to perform its duties and
obligations under this Agreement or to comply with its legal obligations.
Information that is generally known in the industry or to the public or was
known by Service Company prior to disclosure by Eagle pursuant to this Agreement
shall not be deemed confidential or proprietary information for purposes of this
Section 9. The terms of this Section 9 shall survive, and remain in effect
following, the termination of this Agreement.

         10. Notices. Any notice, statement or demand required or permitted to
be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be personally
delivered, sent by mail, sent by nationally known overnight courier service or
sent by facsimile transmission, confirmed by letter, addressed to the party in
the manner and at the address shown below, or at such other address as the party
shall have designated in writing to the other party:

accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.

         16. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or
unenforceable under the laws of any jurisdiction shall be ineffective in such
jurisdiction to the extent necessary to render such provision valid and
enforceable, and if such provision cannot be rendered valid and enforceable in
such jurisdiction by limitation it shall be ineffective therein. The invalidity
or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not render invalid

without the invalid or unenforceable provisions would be manifestly unfair to
either party.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the
day and year first set forth above.
