Exhibit 10.9

AMENDED AND RESTATED EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

     This Amended and Restated Executive Severance Agreement (“Agreement”), including the
attached Exhibit “A,” which is incorporated herein by reference and made an integral part of this
Agreement, is entered into between U.S. Concrete, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), and Gary J. Konnie (“Executive”) effective as of October 1, 2010 (the
“Effective Date”). This Agreement supersedes in its entirety the executive severance
agreement entered into between Executive and the Company effective as of July 31, 2007, and amended
effective December 31, 2008. In consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants
contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Company and Executive agree as
follows:

1. Termination

     1.1 Termination By the Company. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment for
any of the following reasons:

     a. Termination for Cause. For “Cause” upon the determination by a majority of
the Company’s Board of Directors that “Cause” exists to terminate Executive’s employment.
“Cause” means (i) Executive’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, or willful
neglect in the performance of the material duties and services of Executive to the Company
in his current Position (as set forth on Exhibit “A” or any Position to which Executive has
been promoted (provided Executive has accepted such promotion)); (ii) Executive’s final
conviction of a felony by a trial court, or Executive’s entry of a plea of nolo contendere
to a felony charge; (iii) any criminal indictment of Executive relating to an event or
occurrence for which Executive was directly responsible which, in the business judgment of
a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors, exposes the Company to ridicule, shame or
business or financial risk; or (iv) a material breach by Executive of any material
provision of this Agreement. If the Company terminates Executive’s employment for Cause,
Executive shall be entitled only to Executive’s (a) pro rata Monthly Base Salary (as
defined in Exhibit “A”) through the date of such termination, and (b) unused vacation days
earned for the year prior to the year in which Executive’s termination occurs, plus pro
rata vacation days earned for the year in which Executive’s termination occurs
(collectively, the “Accrued Payments”). All future compensation and benefits,
other than benefits to which Executive is entitled under the terms of the Company’s
compensation and/or benefit plans or applicable law, shall cease as of the date of such
termination. In the case of a termination for Cause under subpart (i) above, (a) all stock
options previously granted by the Company to Executive that are vested on the date of
termination for Cause shall, notwithstanding any contrary provision of any applicable plan
or agreement covering any such stock option awards, remain outstanding and continue to be
exercisable for a period of 30 days following the date of termination for Cause (or, if
earlier, the expiration of their term), (b) all stock options previously granted by the
Company to Executive that are not vested on the date of termination for Cause shall
terminate immediately and (c) all restricted stock, restricted stock units and other awards
that have not vested prior

1

 

to the date of termination for Cause shall be cancelled immediately. In the case of a
termination for Cause under subparts (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, (y) all stock options
previously granted by the Company to Executive (whether or not vested) shall terminate
immediately and (z) all restricted stock, restricted stock units and other awards that have
not vested prior to the date of termination for Cause shall be cancelled immediately.

     b. Involuntary Termination. Without Cause at the Company’s option at any
time, with or without notice and for any reason whatsoever, other than death, Disability or
for Cause, in the sole discretion of the Company (“Involuntary Termination”). Upon
an Involuntary Termination, Executive shall receive all of the following severance benefits
(provided, however, that, in the event of an Involuntary Termination in circumstances in
which the provisions of Section 1.3 would be applicable, the provisions of Section 1.3 will
instead apply):

     (i) a lump sum payment in cash (in accordance with Section 4.11) equal to the
Monthly Base Salary in effect on the date of Involuntary Termination multiplied by
24;

     (ii) a lump-sum payment in cash (in accordance with Section 4.11) equal to the
amount of (a) Executive’s target bonus for the bonus year in which Executive’s
Involuntary Termination occurs, prorated based on the number of days in the bonus
year that have elapsed prior to the date of Involuntary Termination, and (b)
Executive’s Accrued Payments.

     (iii) provided that Executive is eligible for and timely elects to receive
group medical continuation coverage under COBRA, the Company will pay 100% of
applicable medical continuation premiums for the benefit of Executive (and his
covered dependents as of the date of his termination, if any) under Executive’s
then-current plan election for 18 months after termination, with such coverage to
be provided under the closest comparable plan as offered by the Company from time
to time; and

     (iv) a pro-rata portion of all stock options, restricted stock awards,
restricted stock units and similar equity awards granted to Executive by the
Company prior to the date of termination (collectively, the “Outstanding Equity
Awards”) that would otherwise have vested during the six month period following
the date of Involuntary Termination if such termination had not occurred shall
immediately vest and become exercisable on the date of termination.

     (v) The remaining portion of all Outstanding Equity Awards, if any, which is
unvested on the date of Involuntary Termination shall be forfeited and canceled in
its entirety upon the date of Involuntary Termination.

2

 

     (vi) Each Outstanding Equity Award which is or becomes vested and exercisable
on the date of Involuntary Termination shall remain outstanding and exercisable
until the earlier of (a) the expiration of the twelve month period which commences
on the date of Involuntary Termination and (b) the expiration date of the original
term of the Outstanding Equity Award.

     c. Death/Disability. Upon Executive’s (i) death, or (ii) Disability. For
purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means if Executive becomes physically or
mentally incapacitated and is therefore unable for a period of one hundred twenty (120)
consecutive days or one-hundred eighty (180) days during any one (1) year period to perform
his duties with substantially the same level of quality as immediately prior to such
incapacity. Upon termination of employment due to such death or Disability, Executive or
Executive’s heirs shall be entitled to receive all severance benefits described in Section
1.1.b. as if Executive’s employment ended due to an Involuntary Termination by the Company
as of the date of death or Disability. Additionally, each Outstanding Equity Award which
is (i) vested and exercisable on the date of termination due to death or Disability shall
remain outstanding and exercisable until the earlier of (a) the expiration of the twelve
month period which commences on the date of such termination and (b) the expiration date of
the original term of the Outstanding Equity Award, and (ii) unvested on the date of
termination due to death or Disability shall be forfeited and canceled in its entirety upon
the date of such termination.

     1.2 Termination By Executive. Executive may terminate Executive’s employment for any
of the following reasons:

     a. Termination for Good Cause. For “Good Cause”, which shall mean the
occurrence of any of the following events, without Executive’s consent: (i) a material
diminution in Executive’s then current Monthly Base Salary, (ii) a material change in the
location of Executive’s principal place of employment by the Company from the “Location”
set out on Exhibit “A,” (iii) any material diminution in Executive’s Position from that set
out on Exhibit “A” or any title or Position to which Executive has been promoted, (iv) any
material diminution of Executive’s authority, duties, or responsibilities from those
commensurate and consistent with the character, status and dignity appropriate to
Executive’s Position or any title or Position to which Executive has been promoted
(provided, however, that if at any time Executive ceases to have such duties and
responsibilities as are commensurate and consistent with his Position that are associated
with a publicly traded company because the Company ceases to have any securities registered
under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or ceases to be
required to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, then Executive’s authority, duties and responsibilities will not be deemed to have
been materially diminished solely due to the cessation of such publicly-traded company
duties and responsibilities), (v) any material breach by the Company of any material
provision of this Agreement, or (vi) any restructuring of Executive’s direct reporting
relationship

3

 

such that Executive does not report to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, which in
the case of any of (i) through (vi) above remains uncorrected by the Company for 30 days
following Executive’s written notice to the Company of Good Cause. Executive must provide
such written notice to the Company of Good Cause within 60 days of the initial existence of
such specified event alleged to constitute Good Cause. Executive shall not be entitled to
terminate his employment for Good Cause with respect to specified events unless Executive
tenders resignation for Good Cause within 30 days of the Company’s failure to cure. Upon
Executive’s termination of employment for Good Cause, Executive shall receive all severance
benefits and equity treatment described in Section 1.1.b. as if Executive’s employment
ended due to an Involuntary Termination by the Company (provided, however, that, in the
event of a termination for Good Cause in circumstances in which the provisions of Section
1.3 would be applicable, the provisions of Section 1.3 will instead apply).

     b. Voluntary Termination. For any other reason whatsoever, in Executive’s
sole discretion, upon thirty (30) days advance written notice to the Company. Upon such
voluntary termination by Executive for any reason other than Good Cause (a “Voluntary
Termination”), all of Executive’s future compensation and benefits, other than benefits
to which Executive is entitled under the terms of the Company’s compensation and/or benefit
plans or applicable law, shall cease as of the date of Voluntary Termination, and Executive
shall be entitled only to the Accrued Payments. In the case of a Voluntary Termination,
(i) all stock options previously granted by the Company to Executive that are vested on the
date of Voluntary Termination will remain outstanding and continue to be exercisable by
Executive until 90 days after the date of Voluntary Termination (or, if earlier, the
expiration of their term), and (ii) all Outstanding Equity Awards that have not vested
prior to the date of Voluntary Termination shall be cancelled immediately.

     1.3 Termination Following Change In Control. In the event a Change in Control (as
defined herein) occurs and within one year after the date of the Change in Control either (a)
Executive terminates his employment for Good Cause or (b) the Company or any successor (whether
direct or indirect and whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, share exchange or otherwise) to
substantially all of the business, properties and/or assets of the Company makes an Involuntary
Termination of Executive’s employment, then in either case the Company or its successor shall be
required to provide Executive, and Executive shall receive, all of the following Change in Control
benefits:

     (i) a lump sum payment in cash equal to (a) the sum of (I) Executive’s Monthly
Base Salary in effect on the termination date multiplied by 12, and (II) the amount
of Executive’s full target bonus for the bonus year in which termination occurs,
multiplied by (b) the Change in Control Multiplier described on Exhibit “A”,
payable on the termination date (subject to Section 4.11);

4

 

     (ii) a lump-sum payment in cash (in accordance with Section 4.11) equal to the
Accrued Payments;

     (iii) provided that Executive is eligible for and timely elects to receive
group medical continuation coverage under COBRA, the Company will pay 100% of
applicable medical continuation premiums for the benefit of Executive (and his
covered dependents as of the date of his termination, if any) under Executive’s
then-current plan election for 18 months after termination, with such coverage to
be provided under the closest comparable plan as offered by the Company from time
to time; and

     (iv) all stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and
similar awards granted to Executive by the Company prior to the termination date
shall be treated in accordance with Section 3.2.

     1.4 Offset. In all cases, the compensation and benefits payable to Executive under
this Agreement upon termination of Executive’s employment shall be offset by any undisputed amounts
that Executive then owes to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an offset may apply to
compensation or benefits under this Agreement only at the time when the compensation or benefits
otherwise would have been paid under this Agreement.

     1.5 One Recovery. In the event of termination of Executive’s employment, Executive
shall be entitled, if at all, to only one set of severance benefits or Change in Control benefits,
as applicable, provided in this Agreement.

     1.6 Certain Obligations Continue. Upon termination of Executive’s employment, all
rights and obligations of Executive and the Company or its successor under this Agreement shall
cease as of the effective date of termination except that (i) Executive’s obligations under Article
2 and Sections 4.1 and 4.4 of this Agreement and the Company’s or its successor’s obligations under
Article 3 and Sections 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.6, 4.1 and 4.4 and the Company’s or its successor’s
obligations to provide any severance benefits or Change in Control benefits to Executive shall
survive such termination in accordance with their terms, and (ii) Executive shall be entitled to
receive all compensation (including bonus) earned and benefits and reimbursements due through the
effective date of termination as provided herein.

     1.7 Notice of Termination. Any termination of Executive’s employment shall be
communicated by Notice of Termination to the non-terminating party, given in accordance with this
Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Notice of Termination” means a written notice which
(i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) sets forth in
reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of
Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated, and (iii) specifies the termination date,
if such date is other than the date of receipt of such notice.

2. Confidential Information; Post-Employment Obligations

     2.1 Company Property. All written materials, records, data, and other documents
prepared by Executive during Executive’s employment by the Company are Company property. All
information, ideas, concepts, improvements, discoveries, and inventions that are conceived, made,
developed, or acquired by Executive individually or in conjunction with others during Executive’s
employment (whether during business hours and whether on the Company’s premises or otherwise) which
relate to the Company’s business, products, or services are the Company’s sole and exclusive
property. All memoranda, notes, records, files, correspondence, drawings, manuals, models,
specifications, computer programs, maps, and all other documents, data, or materials of any type
embodying such information, ideas, concepts, improvements, discoveries, and inventions are the
Company’s property. At the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason,
Executive shall return all of the Company’s documents, data, or other Company property, including
all copies, to the Company.

     2.2 Confidential Information; Non-Disclosure.

     a. Executive acknowledges that the business of the Company and its Affiliates is
highly competitive and that the Company will provide Executive with access to Confidential
Information relating to the business of the Company and its Affiliates. “Confidential
Information” means and includes the Company’s and its Affiliates’ confidential and/or
proprietary information and/or trade secrets that have been developed or used and/or are
reasonably planned to be developed and that cannot be obtained readily by third parties
from outside sources. Confidential Information includes, by way of example and without
limitation, the following: information regarding customers, employees, contractors, and the
industry not generally known to the public; strategies, methods, books, records, and
documents; technical information concerning products, equipment, services, and processes,
particularly mixing techniques, mix designs or chemical analyses of concrete products;
procurement procedures and pricing techniques; the names of and other information
concerning customers, investors, and business affiliates (such as contact name, service
provided, pricing for that customer, type and amount of services used, credit and financial
data, and/or other information relating to the Company’s relationship with that customer);
pricing strategies and price curves; positions; plans and strategies for expansion or
acquisitions; budgets; customer lists; research; financial and sales data; trading
methodologies and terms; evaluations, opinions, and interpretations of information and
data; marketing and merchandising techniques; prospective customers’ names and marks; grids
and maps; electronic databases; models; specifications; computer programs; internal
business records; contracts benefiting or obligating the Company or its Affiliates; bids or
proposals submitted to any third party; technologies and methods; training methods and
training processes; organizational structure; personnel information, including salaries of
personnel; payment amounts or rates paid to consultants or other service providers; and
other such confidential or proprietary information. Executive acknowledges that this

6

 

Confidential Information constitutes a valuable, special, and unique asset used by the
Company and its Affiliates in its businesses to obtain a competitive advantage over its
competitors. Executive further acknowledges that protection of such Confidential
Information against unauthorized disclosure and use is of critical importance to the
Company in maintaining its competitive position. Executive also will have access to, or
knowledge of, Confidential Information of third parties, such as actual and potential
customers, suppliers, partners, joint venturers, investors, financing sources and the like,
of the Company. The Company also agrees to provide Executive with access to Confidential
Information and specialized training regarding the Company’s and its Affiliates’
methodologies and business strategies, which will enable Executive to perform his job at
the Company.

     b. Executive agrees that Executive will not, at any time during or after Executive’s
employment with the Company, make any disclosure of any Confidential Information or
specialized training of the Company, or make any use thereof without the express advance
written consent of the Company, except in carrying out his employment responsibilities
hereunder. Executive also agrees to preserve and protect the confidentiality of third
party Confidential Information to the same extent, and on the same basis, as the Company’s
Confidential Information. Nothing in this Section 2.2 is intended to prohibit Executive
from complying with any court order, lawful subpoena or governmental request for
information, provided that Executive notifies the Company promptly upon the receipt of any
such order, subpoena or request and before the date of required compliance.

     2.3 Non-Competition Obligations. The Company agrees to and shall provide Executive
with immediate access to Confidential Information. Ancillary to the rights and severance benefits
provided to Executive, the Company’s provision of Confidential Information and specialized training
to Executive, and Executive’s agreement not to disclose Confidential Information, and in order to
protect the Confidential Information described above, the Company and Executive agree to the
following non-competition provisions. Executive agrees that during Executive’s employment with the
Company and for the “Period of Post-Employment Non-Competition Obligations” set forth in Exhibit
“A,” Executive will not, directly or indirectly, for Executive or for any other person or entity,
in the “Geographic Region of Responsibility” described on Exhibit “A” (or, if Executive’s
Geographic Region of Responsibility has changed, in any and all geographic regions in which
Executive has devoted substantial attention at such location to the material business interest of
the Company and its Affiliates during the 12-month period immediately preceding Executive’s
termination of employment), engage in, assist, or have any active interest or involvement, whether
as an employee, agent, consultant, creditor, advisor, officer, director, stockholder (excluding
holdings of 2% or less of the stock of a public company), partner, proprietor, or any type of
principal whatsoever in any person, firm, business or other entity that generates more than 10% of
its annual revenue from the sale of any concrete-related products and services that the Company or
its Affiliates offers, then has plans to offer, or has offered in the preceding 12-month period,
including, but not limited to, ready-mixed concrete, pre-cast concrete or related

7

 

building materials or services such as proportioned mix design services, concrete mold
engineering or design services, rebar, mesh, color additives, curing compounds, grouts, wooden
forms, or similar products or services, whether at wholesale or retail (a “Competing Business”).
Executive understands that the foregoing restrictions may limit Executive’s ability to engage in
certain businesses in the geographic region and during the period provided for above, but
acknowledges that these restrictions are necessary to protect the Confidential Information the
Company has provided to Executive.

     2.4 Non-Solicitation of Customers. During Executive’s employment with the Company and
for the Period of Post-Employment Non-Competition Obligations, Executive will not call on, service,
or solicit Competing Business from clients or customers of the Company or its affiliated entities
whom that Executive, within the previous 24 months, (i) provided services to, worked with,
solicited or had or made contact with, or (ii) had access to information and files concerning.

     2.5 Non-Solicitation of Employees. During Executive’s employment with the Company,
and for the Period of Post-Employment Non-Competition Obligations, Executive will not, either
directly or indirectly, call on, solicit, or induce any other employee or officer of the Company or
its affiliated entities whom Executive had contact with, knowledge of, or association with in the
course of employment with the Company to terminate his employment, and will not assist any other
person or entity in such a solicitation.

     2.6 Early Resolution Conference/Arbitration. The parties are entering into this
Agreement with the express understanding that this Agreement is clear and fully enforceable as
written. If Executive ever decides to contend that any restriction on activities imposed by
Article 2 of this Agreement is no longer enforceable as written or does not apply to an activity in
which Executive intends to engage, Executive first will notify the Company’s President and its
Secretary in writing and meet with a Company representative at least 14 days before engaging in any
activity that foreseeably could fall within the questioned restriction to discuss resolution of
such claims (an “Early Resolution Conference”). Should the parties not be able to resolve
disputes at the Early Resolution Conference, the parties agree to use confidential, binding
arbitration to resolve the disputes. The arbitration shall be conducted in Houston, Texas, in
accordance with the then-current employment arbitration rules of the American Arbitration
Association, before an arbitrator licensed to practice law in Texas. Each party shall bear its own
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with
any dispute and/or arbitration arising out of or relating to this Agreement; provided, however,
that the parties agree that the arbitrator, in the arbitrator’s discretion, may award a prevailing
party, a reasonable attorney’s fee, including arbitration expenses and costs. Either party may
seek a temporary restraining order, injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief
regarding the provisions of this Section if the other party fails to comply with obligations stated
herein. The parties’ agreement to arbitrate applies only to the matters subject to an Early
Resolution Conference.

     2.7 Warranty and Indemnification. Executive warrants that Executive is not a party to
any restrictive agreement limiting Executive’s activities in his employment by

8

 

the Company. Executive further warrants that at the time of the signing of this Agreement,
Executive knows of no written or oral contract or of any other impediment that would inhibit or
prohibit employment with the Company, and that Executive will not knowingly use any trade secret,
confidential information, or other intellectual property right of any other party in the
performance of Executive’s duties hereunder. Executive shall hold the Company harmless from any
and all suits and claims arising out of any breach of such restrictive agreement or contracts.

     2.8 Modification. Executive and the Company agree that if the scope or enforceability
of a restrictive covenant described in this Article 2 is disputed, the arbitrator or court with
competent jurisdiction may modify and enforce the covenant to the extent that it determines the
covenant to be reasonable.

3. Change in Control

     3.1 Definitions.

     a. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to
have occurred on the earliest of any of the following dates:

     (i) the date the Company merges or consolidates with any other person or
entity, and the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to
such merger or consolidation do not continue to represent (either by remaining
outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity)
more than 50% of the total voting power of the voting securities of the Company or
such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation;

     (ii) the date the Company sells all or substantially all of its assets to any
other person or entity;

     (iii) the date the Company is dissolved;

     (iv) the date any person or entity together with its Affiliates (as defined

Company’s Board of Directors (“Incumbent Board”) as of the Effective Date
cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the non-employee members
of the Board, provided that for purposes of this clause (v) any person becoming a
director of the Company whose election or nomination for election by the Company’s
stockholders was approved by a vote of at least 80% of the directors comprising the
Incumbent Board then still in office (or whose election or nomination was

9

 

previously so approved) shall be, for purposes of this clause (v), considered
as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board;

provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clauses (i) — (v), a
Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred in connection with any bankruptcy or
insolvency of the Company, or any transaction in connection therewith.

     b. As used in this Agreement, the following terms are defined as follows:

     (i) “Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any person or entity, any

to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such person or
entity whether through the ownership of voting securities or by contract or
otherwise;

     (ii) “Beneficial Owner” has the meaning ascribed to it pursuant to
Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and

     (iii) “Parent” means a corporation, partnership, trust, limited
liability company or other entity that is the ultimate Beneficial Owner of more

     3.2 Vesting of Awards.

     a. All stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and similar
equity awards granted to Executive by the Company prior to the date of a Change in Control
shall, notwithstanding any contrary provision of any applicable plan or agreement covering
any such stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units or similar awards,
fully vest and become exercisable in full upon the consummation of such Change in Control
and shall remain outstanding and in effect in accordance with their terms, and any
restrictions, forfeiture conditions or other conditions or criteria applicable to any such
awards shall lapse immediately upon the consummation of such Change in Control.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such award that is subject to Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the Treasury Regulations
promulgated thereunder (and such other Treasury or Internal Revenue Service guidance) as in
effect from time to time (“Section 409A”) shall only fully vest and become
exercisable in full immediately upon a “change in ownership or effective control” as
defined in Section 409A that also constitutes a Change in Control as defined in Section 3.1
above. Subject to Section 3.2(b)

10

 

below, Executive may exercise any such stock options or other exercisable awards at
any time before the expiration of their term.

     b. Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.2(a) to the contrary, in the event of a
Change in Control, the Company may, in its sole discretion, provide for the cancellation
upon the consummation of such Change in Control of all outstanding stock options,
restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and similar equity awards granted to
Executive by the Company prior to the date of such Change in Control, whether or not vested
and exercisable, and a payment in cash, property, or a combination thereof, will be made to
Executive within ten (10) days after the consummation of the Change in Control in an amount
equal to (a) in the case of stock options and similar appreciation awards, the excess, if
any, of (i) the per share consideration received by a shareholder of the Company’s capital
stock in connection with the Change in Control (the “Change in Control Price”) over
(ii) the exercise price or purchase price per share, if any, of the underlying award,
multiplied by the number of unexercised shares subject to such equity award, and (b) in the
case of restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and similar full-value equity
awards, the Change in Control Price multiplied by the number of shares subject to such
equity award. If the Change in Control Price is less than the exercise price or purchase
price of a stock option or similar equity award, such stock option or similar equity award
will be automatically cancelled with no payment therefor.

     3.3 Section 280G Cutback. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company or its
successor to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or
distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (a “Payment”), would be
subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (such excise tax, together with any
interest thereon, any penalties, additions to tax, or additional amounts with respect to such
excise tax, and any interest in respect of such penalties, additions to tax or additional amounts,
being collectively referred herein to as the “Excise Tax”), then if the aggregate of all
Payments that would be subject to the Excise Tax, reduced by all Federal, state and local taxes
applicable thereto, including the Excise Tax is less than the amount Executive would receive, after
all such applicable taxes, if Executive received Payments equal to an amount which is $1.00 less
than three times the Executive’s “base amount”, as defined in and determined under Section 280G of
the Code, then, such Payments shall be reduced or eliminated to the extent necessary so that the
aggregate Payments received by Executive will not be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in
the Payments is necessary, reduction shall occur in the following order: first, a reduction of cash
payments not attributable to equity awards which vest in an accelerated basis; second, a reduction
in any other cash amount payable to Executive; third, the reduction of any employee benefit valued
as a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code); and fourth, the cancellation of
accelerated vesting of stock awards. If acceleration of vesting of stock award compensation is to
be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of
grant of Executive’s stock awards. All determinations made under this Section 3.3 and the
assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determinations shall be made by a registered

11

 

public accounting firm designated by Executive and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the
“Accounting Firm”). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by
the Company or its successor.

4. Miscellaneous

     4.1 Statements About the Company or Executive. Except as may be required to comply
with a court order, lawful subpoena or governmental request for information, Executive and the
Company shall refrain, both during and after Executive’s employment, from publishing any oral or
written statements about the other that are disparaging, slanderous, libelous, or defamatory, or
that disclose private or confidential information about their business affairs.

     4.2 Notices. Notices and all other communications hereunder shall be in writing and
shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or when mailed by United States
registered or certified mail. Notices to the Company shall be sent to its President and its
Secretary at: U.S. Concrete, Inc., 2925 Briarpark, Suite 1050, Houston, Texas 77042. Notices and

writing to the Company.

     4.3 No Waiver. No failure by either party at any time to give notice of any breach by
the other party of, or to require compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement
shall be deemed a waiver of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement.

     4.4 Mediation. If a dispute arises out of or relates to Executive’s termination,
other than a dispute regarding Executive’s obligations under Article 2, and if the dispute cannot
be settled through direct discussions, then the Company and Executive agree to try to settle the
dispute in an amicable manner by confidential mediation before having recourse to any other
proceeding or forum.

     4.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to be made in the State of
Delaware, and the validity, interpretation, construction, and performance of this Agreement in all
respects shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its principles of
conflicts of law. No provision of this Agreement or any related document will be construed against
or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by any court or other governmental or
judicial authority by reason of such party having or being deemed to have structured or drafted
such provision.

     4.6 Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

     a. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, Executive and the Company each
hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District
Court for the District of Delaware (or, if subject matter jurisdiction in that court is not
available, in any state court located within Wilmington, Delaware) over any dispute arising
out of or relating to this Agreement. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this
Agreement, the parties undertake not to commence any suit, action or proceeding arising out
of or

12

 

relating to this Agreement in a forum other than a forum described in this Section
4.6; provided, however, that nothing herein shall preclude the Company or
Executive from bringing any suit, action or proceeding in any other court for the purposes
of enforcing the provisions of this Section 4.6 or enforcing any judgment obtained by the
Company.

     b. The agreement of the parties to the forum described in Section 4.6(a) is
independent of the law that may be applied in any suit, action, or proceeding and the
parties agree to such forum even if such forum may under applicable law choose to apply
non-forum law. The parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, any objection which they now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction or to the
laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in an applicable court
described in Section 4.6(a), and the parties agree that they shall not attempt to deny or
defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court.
The parties agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a final and
non-appealable judgment in any suit, action or proceeding brought in any applicable court
described in Section 4.6(a) shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties and may be
enforced in any other jurisdiction.

     c. The parties hereto irrevocably consent to the service of any and all process in any
suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement by the mailing of
copies of such process to such party at such party’s address specified in Section 4.2.

     d. Each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Each party hereto (i) certifies that no
representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or
otherwise, that such party would not, in the event of any action, suit or proceeding, seek
to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party hereto
has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waiver and
certifications in this Section 4.6(d).

     e. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses) incurred in connection with any dispute arising out of or relating to
this Agreement.

     4.7 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and
be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors
and permitted assigns. The Company may assign this Agreement to any affiliated entity.
Executive’s rights and obligations under this Agreement are personal, and they shall not be
assigned or transferred without the Company’s prior written consent otherwise than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution. The Company will require any successor (direct or indirect and
whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, share exchange or otherwise) to substantially all of
the

13

 

business, properties and assets of the Company expressly to assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent the Company would have been required to perform
it had no succession taken place.

     4.8 Other Agreements/Entire Agreement. This Agreement shall supersede any and all
existing oral or written agreements, representations or warranties between Executive and the
Company or any of its Affiliates relating to the terms of Executive’s termination by the Company or
any of its Affiliates. This Agreement (including Exhibit “A” attached hereto, which is
incorporated herein by reference and made an integral part of this Agreement) constitutes the
entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matters of this Agreement. Any
modification of this Agreement (including without limitation to Exhibit “A”) will be effective only
if it is in writing and signed by each party. Executive is also a party to that certain
Indemnification Agreement, dated August 31, 2010, between Executive and the Company (the
“Indemnification Agreement”). Nothing in this Agreement is intended to alter or amend the
terms or effect of the Indemnification Agreement, which shall remain in effect in accordance with
its terms, notwithstanding the execution or termination of this Agreement.

     4.9 Invalidity. Should any provision(s) in this Agreement be held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall be
unaffected and shall continue in full force and effect, and the invalid, void or unenforceable
provision(s) shall be deemed not to be part of this Agreement.

     4.10 Withholding. All payments required to be made to Executive pursuant to this
Agreement shall be subject to the withholding of amounts relating to income and employment taxes
and other customary employee deductions in conformity with the Company’s payroll policies in effect
from time to time.

     4.11 Time of Payments and Section 409A.

     a. All amounts payable under Sections 1.1.b, 1.2.a and 1.3 of this Agreement shall be
paid only after Executive’s timely execution, without revocation, of a waiver and general
release of claims in favor of the Company, its subsidiaries and Affiliates, and their
respective predecessors and successors, and all of the respective current or former
directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners, members, agents or representatives
of any of the foregoing, in a form satisfactory to the Company. The Company shall provide
the aforementioned release to Executive within 10 days following the date of Executive’s
termination of employment. Executive’s execution of the release shall be considered timely
only if the release is executed and returned to the Company by the deadline specified by
the Company, which deadline shall not be earlier than the 21st day following the date the
release is provided to Executive nor later than the 55th day following the date of
termination of Executive’s employment. If Executive has timely returned the executed
release and the revocation period has expired, the amounts payable under Sections 1.1.b,
1.2.a and 1.3 of this Agreement, to the extent payable in a lump sum, shall be paid on the
65th day following the date of Executive’s termination of employment.

14

 

     b. The parties intend that any amounts payable hereunder that could constitute
“deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A will be compliant with Section
409A, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be
interpreted to be in compliance therewith. With respect to the time of payments of any
amounts under this Agreement that are “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A,
references in this Agreement to “termination of employment” (and substantially similar
phrases) shall mean “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. For
purposes of Section 409A, each of the payments that may be made under this Agreement are
designated as separate payments for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section
1.409A-1(b)(4)(i)(F), 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) and 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(B).

     c. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if Executive is deemed
to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) and Executive
is not “disabled” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(C), no payments hereunder to be
made in connection with a “separation from service” that are “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A
shall be made to Executive prior to the date that is six (6) months after the date of
Executive’s “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A) or, if earlier,
Executive’s date of death. This Section 4.11 shall be applied by accumulating all payments
that otherwise would have been paid within six months of Executive’s termination and paying
such accumulated amounts in a single lump sum on the earliest date permitted under Section
409A that is also a business day. Executive shall be a “specified employee” for the
twelve-month period beginning on April 1 of a year if Executive is a “key employee” as
defined in Section 416(i) of the Code (without regard to Section 416(i)(5)) as of December
31 of the preceding year or using such dates as designated by the Company in accordance
with Section 409A and in a manner that is consistent with respect to all of the Company’s
nonqualified deferred compensation plans, if any. For purposes of determining the identity
of specified employees, the Company may establish procedures as it deems appropriate in
accordance with Section 409A.

     d. For the avoidance of doubt, it is intended that any indemnification payment or
expense reimbursement made hereunder shall be exempt from Section 409A. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any indemnification payment or expense reimbursement made hereunder shall
be determined to be “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A, then (i)
the amount of the indemnification payment or expense reimbursement during one taxable year
shall not affect the amount of the indemnification payments or expense reimbursement during
any other taxable year, (ii) the indemnification payments or expense reimbursement shall be
made on or before the last day of Executive’s taxable year following the year in which the
expense was incurred, and (iii) the right to indemnification payments or expense
reimbursement hereunder shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another
benefit.

15

 

     4.12 Headings. The Article and Section headings contained in this Agreement are for
reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this
Agreement.

     4.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and
by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to
be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

16

 

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and Executive have executed this Agreement in multiple
originals to be effective on the Effective Date.

Exhibit 10.10

EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

     This Executive Severance Agreement (“Agreement”), including the attached Exhibit “A,”
which is incorporated herein by reference and made an integral part of this Agreement, is entered
into between U.S. Concrete, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Jeff L. Davis
(“Executive”). This Agreement is effective as of July 31, 2007 (the “Effective Date”). The
Company and Executive agree as follows:

1. Termination

     1.1 Termination By the Company. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment for
any of the following reasons:

     a. Termination for Cause. For “Cause” upon the determination by a majority of
the Company’s Board of Directors that “Cause” exists to terminate Executive’s employment.
“Cause” means (i) Executive’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, or willful neglect in
the performance of the material duties and services of Executive to the Company in his
current Position (as set forth on Exhibit “A” or any Position to which Executive has been
promoted (provided Executive has accepted such promotion); (ii) Executive’s final conviction
of a felony by a trial court, or Executive’s entry of a plea of nolo contendere to a felony
charge; (iii) any criminal indictment of Executive relating to an event or occurrence for
which Executive was directly responsible which, in the business judgment of a majority of
the Company’s Board of Directors, exposes the Company to ridicule, shame or business or
financial risk; or (iv) a material breach by Executive of any material provision of this
Agreement. If the Company terminates Executive’s employment for Cause, Executive shall be
entitled only to Executive’s (a) pro rata Monthly Base Salary (as defined in Exhibit “A”)
through the date of such termination, and (b) unused vacation days earned the year prior to
the year in which Executive’s termination for Cause occurs, plus pro rata vacation days
earned for the year in which Executive’s termination for Cause occurs. All future
compensation and benefits, other than benefits to which Executive is entitled under the
terms of the Company’s compensation and/or benefit plans, shall cease as of the date of such
termination. In the case of a termination for Cause under subpart (i) above, (a) all stock
options previously granted by the Company to Executive that are vested on the date of
termination for Cause shall, notwithstanding any contrary provision of any applicable plan
or agreement covering any such stock option awards, remain outstanding and continue to be
exercisable for a period of 90 days following the date of termination for Cause (or, if
earlier, the expiration of their term), (b) all stock options previously granted by the
Company to Executive that are not vested on the date of termination for Cause shall
terminate immediately and (c) all restricted stock, restricted stock units and other awards
that have not vested prior to the date of termination for Cause shall be cancelled to the
extent not then vested. In the case of a termination for Cause under subparts (ii), (iii)
or (iv) above, (y) all stock options previously granted by the Company to Executive (whether
or not vested) shall terminate immediately and (z) all restricted stock, restricted stock
units and other awards that have not vested prior to the date of termination for Cause shall
be cancelled to the extent not then vested.

     b. Involuntary Termination. Without Cause at the Company’s option at any time,
with or without notice and for any reason whatsoever, other than death, disability or for
Cause, in the sole discretion of the Company (“Involuntary Termination”). Upon an
Involuntary Termination, Executive shall receive all of the following severance benefits
(provided, however, that, in the event of an Involuntary Termination in circumstances in
which the provisions of Section 1.3 would be applicable, the provisions of Section 1.3 will
instead apply):

     (i) a lump-sum payment in cash (in accordance with Section 4.10) equal to the
Monthly Base Salary in effect on the date of Involuntary Termination multiplied by
12, together with a prorated amount of Monthly Base Salary for any partial month in
which such termination occurs;

     (ii) a lump-sum payment in cash (in accordance with Section 4.10) equal to the
amount of Executive’s (a) target bonus for the bonus year in which Executive’s
Involuntary Termination occurs, prorated based on the number of days in the bonus
year that have elapsed prior to the Involuntary Termination, and (b) unused vacation
days earned the year prior to the year in which Executive’s Involuntary Termination
occurs, plus pro rata vacation days earned in the year in which Executive’s
Involuntary Termination occurs;

     (iii) provided that Executive is eligible for and timely elects to receive
group medical continuation coverage under COBRA, the Company will pay 100% of
applicable medical continuation premiums for the benefit of Executive (and his
covered dependents as of the date of his termination, if any) under Executive’s
then-current plan election for 18 months after termination, with such coverage to be
provided under the closest comparable plan as offered by the Company from time to
time; and

     (iv) all stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and
similar awards granted to Executive by the Company prior to the date of Involuntary
Termination shall, notwithstanding any contrary provision of any applicable plan or
agreement covering any such stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock
units or similar awards, fully vest and become exercisable in full on the date of
Involuntary Termination and shall remain outstanding and in effect in accordance
with their respective terms, and any restrictions, forfeiture conditions or other
conditions or criteria applicable to any such awards shall lapse on the date of
Involuntary Termination. Executive may exercise any such stock options or other
exercisable awards at any time before the expiration of their term.

     c. Death/Disability. Upon Executive’s (i) death, or (ii) becoming unable to
engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical
or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for
a continuous period of not less than 12 months, or (iii) termination of employment as a
result of becoming permanently and totally unable to perform Executive’s duties hereunder as
a result of any physical or mental impairment supported by a written opinion by a physician
selected by the Company who is reasonably

Davis Execution Version

acceptable to Executive. Upon termination of employment due to such death or
disability, Executive or Executive’s heirs shall be entitled to receive all severance
benefits described in Section 1.1.b. as if Executive’s employment ended due to an
Involuntary Termination by the Company as of the date of death, date of disability as
described in (ii) above, or as of the date of termination due to permanent and total
incapacity as described in (iii) above, except that with respect to severance benefits
relating to stock options upon termination of employment due to death or disability, (a)
all stock options previously granted by the Company to Executive that are vested on the date
of termination shall, notwithstanding any contrary provision of any applicable plan or
agreement covering any such stock option awards, remain outstanding and continue to be
exercisable in accordance with their terms and (b) all stock options previously granted by
the Company to Executive that are not vested on the date of termination shall terminate
immediately.

     1.2 Termination By Executive. Executive may terminate Executive’s employment
for any of the following reasons:

     a. Termination for Good Cause. For “Good Cause” upon determination by
Executive that Good Cause exists to terminate Executive’s employment. “Good Cause” means,
without Executive’s consent, (i) a diminution in Executive’s then current Monthly Base
Salary, (ii) a material change in the location of Executive’s principal place of employment
by the Company from the “Location” set out on Exhibit “A,” (iii) any material diminution in
Executive’s Position from that set out on Exhibit “A” or any title or Position to which
Executive has been promoted, (iv) any material diminution of Executive’s authority, duties,
or responsibilities from those commensurate and consistent with the character, status and
dignity appropriate to Executive’s Position or any title or Position to which Executive has
been promoted (provided, however, that if at any time Executive ceases to have such duties
and responsibilities as are commensurate and consistent with his Position that are
associated with a publicly traded company because the Company ceases to have any securities
registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or ceases to
be required to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, then Executive’s authority, duties and responsibilities will not be deemed to have
been materially diminished solely due to the cessation of such publicly-traded company
duties and responsibilities), or (v) any material breach by the Company of any material
provision of this Agreement, any of which remain uncorrected for 30 days following
Executive’s written notice to the Company of Good Cause. Executive must provide such
written notice to the Company of Good Cause within 90 days of the existence of such
condition. Upon Executive’s termination for Good Cause, Executive shall receive all of the
following severance benefits (provided, however, that, in the event of a termination for
Good Cause in circumstances in which the provisions of Section 1.3 would be applicable, the
provisions of Section 1.3 will instead apply):

     (i) a lump-sum payment in cash (in accordance with Section 4.10) equal to the
Monthly Base Salary in effect on the date of termination for Good Cause multiplied
by 12, together with a prorated amount of Monthly Base Salary for any partial month
in which such termination occurs;

Davis Execution Version

3

 

     (ii) a lump-sum payment in cash (in accordance with Section 4.10) equal to the
amount of Executive’s (a) target bonus for such bonus year, prorated based on the
number of days in the bonus year that have elapsed prior to the termination for Good
Cause; and (b) unused vacation days earned the year prior to the year in which
Executive’s termination for Good Cause occurs, plus pro rata vacation days earned in
the year in which Executive’s termination for Good Cause occurs;

     (iii) provided that Executive is eligible for and timely elects to receive
group medical continuation coverage under COBRA, the Company will pay 100% of
applicable medical continuation premiums for the benefit of Executive (and his
covered dependents as of the date of his termination, if any) under Executive’s
then-current plan election for 18 months after termination, with such coverage to be
provided under the closest comparable plan as offered by the Company from time to
time; and

     (iv) all stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and
similar awards granted to Executive by the Company prior to the date of termination
for Good Cause shall, notwithstanding any contrary provision of any applicable plan
or agreement covering any such stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted
stock units or similar awards, fully vest and become exercisable in full on the date
of termination for Good Cause and shall remain outstanding and in effect in
accordance with their respective terms, and any restrictions, forfeiture conditions
or other conditions or criteria applicable to any such awards shall lapse on the
date of termination for Good Cause. Executive may exercise any such stock options
or other exercisable awards at any time before the expiration of their term.

     b. Voluntary Termination. For any other reason whatsoever, in Executive’s sole
discretion. Upon such voluntary termination by Executive for any reason other than Good
Cause (a “Voluntary Termination”), all of Executive’s future compensation and benefits,
other than benefits to which Executive is entitled under the terms of the Company’s
compensation and/or benefit plans, shall cease as of the date of Voluntary Termination, and
Executive shall be entitled only to (a) pro rata Monthly Base Salary through such date of
Voluntary Termination; and (b) unused vacation days earned the year prior to the year in
which Executive’s Voluntary Termination occurs, plus pro rata vacation days earned for the
year in which Executive’s Voluntary Termination occurs. In the case of a Voluntary
Termination, (i) all stock options previously granted by the Company to Executive that are
vested on the date of Voluntary Termination will remain outstanding and continue to be
exercisable by Executive until 90 days after the date of Voluntary Termination (or, if
earlier, the expiration of their term), and (ii) all restricted stock, restricted stock
units or other awards that have not vested prior to the date of Voluntary Termination shall
be cancelled to the extent not then vested.

     1.3 Termination Following Change In Control. In the event a Change in Control (as
defined herein) occurs and within one year after the date of the Change in Control either (a)
Executive terminates his employment for Good Cause or (b) the Company or any successor

Davis Execution Version

(whether direct or indirect and whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, share exchange or
otherwise) to substantially all of the business, properties and/or assets of the Company makes an
Involuntary Termination of Executive’s employment, then in either case the Company or its successor
shall be required to provide Executive, and Executive shall receive, all of the following Change in
Control benefits:

     (i) a lump-sum payment in cash (payable on the termination date) equal to the sum of
(a) Executive’s Monthly Base Salary in effect on the termination date multiplied by 12, and
(b) the amount of Executive’s full target bonus for such bonus year, and multiplying the sum
of (a) and (b) by the Change in control multiplier described on Exhibit “A”;

     (ii) a lump-sum payment in cash (payable on the termination date) equal to the unused
vacation days earned the year prior to the year in which Executive’s employment is
terminated, plus pro rata vacation days earned in the year in which Executive’s employment
is terminated;

     (iii) provided that Executive is eligible for and timely elects to receive group
medical continuation coverage under COBRA, the Company will pay 100% of applicable medical
continuation premiums for the benefit of Executive (and his covered dependents as of the
date of his termination, if any) under Executive’s then-current plan election for 18 months
after termination, with such coverage to be provided under the closest comparable plan as
offered by the Company from time to time; and

     (iv) all stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and similar
awards granted to Executive by the Company prior to the termination date shall vest in
accordance with Section 3.2.

     1.4 Offset. In all cases, the compensation and benefits payable to Executive under
this Agreement upon termination of Executive’s employment shall be offset by any undisputed amounts
that Executive then owes to the Company.

     1.5 One Recovery. In the event of termination of Executive’s employment, Executive
shall be entitled, if at all, to only one set of severance benefits or Change in Control benefits,
as applicable, provided in this Agreement.

     1.6 Certain Obligations Continue. Upon termination of Executive’s employment, all
rights and obligations of Executive and the Company or its successor under this Agreement shall
cease as of the effective date of termination except that (i) Executive’s obligations under Article
2 and Sections 4.1 and 4.4 of this Agreement and the Company’s or its successor’s obligations under
Article 3 and Sections 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.6, 4.1 and 4.4 and the Company’s or its successor’s
obligations to provide any severance benefits or Change in Control benefits to Executive shall
survive such termination in accordance with their terms, and (ii) Executive shall be entitled to
receive all compensation (including bonus) earned and benefits and reimbursements due through the
effective date of termination as provided herein.

     1.7 Notice of Termination. Any termination of Executive’s employment shall be
communicated by Notice of Termination to the non-terminating party, given in accordance with this
Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Notice of Termination” means a written notice which
(i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) sets forth in
reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of
Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated, and (iii) specifies the termination date,

curves; positions; plans and strategies for expansion or acquisitions; budgets; customer
lists; research; financial and sales data; trading methodologies and terms; evaluations,
opinions, and interpretations of information and data; marketing and merchandising
techniques; prospective customers’ names and marks; grids and maps; electronic databases;

bids or proposals submitted to any third party; technologies and methods; training
methods and training processes; organizational structure; personnel information, including
salaries of personnel; payment amounts or rates paid to consultants or other service
providers; and other such confidential or proprietary information. Executive acknowledges
that this Confidential Information constitutes a valuable, special, and unique asset used by
the Company and its affiliated entities in its businesses to obtain a competitive advantage
over its competitors. Executive further acknowledges that protection of such Confidential
Information against unauthorized disclosure and use is of critical importance to the Company
in maintaining its competitive position. Executive also will have access to, or knowledge
of, Confidential Information of third parties, such as actual and potential customers,
suppliers, partners, joint venturers, investors, financing sources and the like, of the
Company. The Company also agrees to provide Executive with access to Confidential
Information and specialized training regarding the Company’s and its affiliated entities’
methodologies and business strategies, which will enable Executive to perform his job at the
Company.

     Executive agrees that Executive will not, at any time during or after Executive’s employment
with the Company, make any unauthorized disclosure of any Confidential Information or specialized
training of the Company, or make any use thereof, except in carrying out his employment
responsibilities hereunder. Executive also agrees to preserve and protect the confidentiality of
third party Confidential Information to the same extent, and on the same basis, as the Company’s
Confidential Information. Nothing in this Section 2.2 is intended to prohibit Executive from
complying with any court order, lawful subpoena or governmental request for information, provided
that Executive notifies the Company promptly upon the receipt of any such order, subpoena or
request and before the date of required compliance.

     2.3 Non-Competition Obligations. The Company agrees to and shall provide
Executive with immediate access to Confidential Information. Ancillary to the rights and
severance benefits provided to Executive, the Company’s provision of Confidential
Information and specialized training to Executive, and Executive’s agreement not to disclose
Confidential Information, and in order to protect the Confidential Information described
above, the Company and Executive agree to the following non-competition provisions.
Executive agrees that during Executive’s employment with the Company and for the “Period of
Post-Employment Non-Competition Obligations” set forth in Exhibit “A,” Executive will not,
directly or indirectly, for Executive or for others, in the “Geographic Region of
Responsibility” described on Exhibit “A” (or, if Executive’s Geographic Region of
Responsibility has changed, in any and all geographic regions in which Executive has devoted
substantial attention at such location to the material business interest of the Company and
its affiliated entities during the 12-month period immediately preceding Executive’s
termination of employment), engage in, assist, or have any active interest or involvement,
whether as an employee, agent, consultant, creditor, advisor, officer, director, stockholder
(excluding holdings of 2% or less of the stock of a public company), partner, proprietor, or
any type of principal whatsoever in any person, firm or business that generates more than
10% of its annual revenue from the sale of any concrete-related products and services that
the Company or its affiliated entities offers, then has plans to offer, or has offered in
the preceding 12-month period, including, but not limited to, ready-mixed concrete, pre-cast
concrete or related building

materials or services such as proportioned mix design services, concrete mold
engineering or design services, rebar, mesh, color additives, curing compounds, grouts,
wooden forms, or similar products or services, whether at wholesale or retail (a “Competing
Business”). Executive understands that the foregoing restrictions may limit Executive’s
ability to engage in certain businesses in the geographic region and during the period
provided for above, but acknowledges that these restrictions are necessary to protect the
Confidential Information the Company has provided to Executive.

     2.4 Non-Solicitation of Customers. During Executive’s employment with the
Company and for the Period of Post-Employment Non-Competition Obligations, Executive will
not call on, service, or solicit Competing Business from clients or customers of the Company
or its affiliated entities whom that Executive, within the previous 24 months, (i) provided
services to, worked with, solicited or had or made contact with, or (ii) had access to
information and files concerning.

     2.5 Non-Solicitation of Employees. During Executive’s employment with the
Company, and for the Period of Post-Employment Non-Competition Obligations, Executive will
not, either directly or indirectly, call on, solicit, or induce any other employee or
officer of the Company or its affiliated entities whom Executive had contact with, knowledge
of, or association with in the course of employment with the Company to terminate his
employment, and will not assist any other person or entity in such a solicitation.

     2.6 Early Resolution Conference/Arbitration. The parties are entering into
this Agreement with the express understanding that this Agreement is clear and fully
enforceable as written. If Executive ever decides to contend that any restriction on
activities imposed by Article 3 of this Agreement is no longer enforceable as written or
does not apply to an activity in which Executive intends to engage, Executive first will
notify the Company’s President and its Secretary in writing and meet with a Company
representative at least 14 days before engaging in any activity that foreseeably could fall
within the questioned restriction to discuss resolution of such claims (an “Early Resolution
Conference”). Should the parties not be able to resolve disputes at the Early Resolution
Conference, the parties agree to use confidential, binding arbitration to resolve the
disputes. The arbitration shall be conducted in Houston, Texas, in accordance with the
then-current employment arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association, before an
arbitrator licensed to practice law in Texas. The parties agree that the arbitrator, in the
arbitrator’s discretion, may award a prevailing party, a reasonable attorney’s fee,
including arbitration expenses and costs. Either party may seek a temporary restraining
order, injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief regarding the provisions
of this Section if the other party fails to comply with obligations stated herein. The
parties’ agreement to arbitrate applies only to the matters subject to an Early Resolution
Conference.

     2.7 Warranty and Indemnification. Executive warrants that Executive is not a
party to any restrictive agreement limiting Executive’s activities in his employment by the
Company. Executive further warrants that at the time of the signing of this Agreement,
Executive knows of no written or oral contract or of any other impediment

Davis Execution Version

8

 

that would inhibit or prohibit employment with the Company, and that Executive will not
knowingly use any trade secret, confidential information, or other intellectual property
right of any other party in the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder. Executive
shall hold the Company harmless from any and all suits and claims arising out of any breach
of such restrictive agreement or contracts.

     2.8 Modification. Executive and the Company agree that if the scope or
enforceability of a restrictive covenant described in this Article 2 is disputed, the
arbitrator or court with competent jurisdiction may modify and enforce the covenant to the
extent that it determines the covenant to be reasonable.

3. Change in Control

	1.	 	3.1      Definitions.

     a. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have
occurred on the earliest of any of the following dates:

     (i) the date the Company merges or consolidates with any other person or
entity, and the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to
such merger or consolidation do not continue to represent (either by remaining
outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity)
more than 50% of the total voting power of the voting securities of the Company or
such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation;

     (ii) the date the Company sells all or substantially all of its assets to any
other person or entity;

     (iii) the date the Company is dissolved;

     (iv) the date any person or entity together with its Affiliates (as defined
herein) becomes, directly or indirectly, the Beneficial Owner (as defined herein) of
voting securities representing more than 50% of the total voting power of all then
outstanding voting securities of the Company; or

     (v) the date the individuals who constituted the non-employee members of the
Company’s Board of Directors (“Incumbent Board”) as of the Effective Date cease for
any reason to constitute at least a majority of the non-employee members of the
Board, provided that for purposes of this clause (v) any person becoming a director
of the Company whose election or nomination for election by the Company’s
stockholders was approved by a vote of at least 80% of the directors comprising the
Incumbent Board then still in office (or whose election or nomination was previously
so approved) shall be, for purposes of this clause (v), considered as though such
person were a member of the Incumbent Board;

Davis Execution Version

9

 

provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clauses (i) —
(v), a Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred in connection with any
bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company, or any transaction in connection therewith.

     b. As used in this Agreement, the following terms are defined as follows:

     (i) “Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any person or entity, any person or
entity that, directly or indirectly, Controls, is Controlled by, or is under common
Control with such person or entity in question. For the purposes of the definition
of Affiliate, “Control” (including, with correlative meaning, the terms “Controlled
by” and “under common Control with”) as used with respect to any person or entity,
shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause
the direction of the management and policies of such person or entity whether
through the ownership of voting securities or by contract or otherwise;

     (ii) “Beneficial Owner” has the meaning ascribed to it pursuant to Rule 13d-3
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and

     (iii) “Parent” means a corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability
company or other entity that is the ultimate Beneficial Owner of more than 50% of
the Company’s or its successor’s outstanding voting securities.

     3.2 Vesting of Awards. All stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock
units and similar awards granted to Executive by the Company prior to the date of a Change in
Control shall, notwithstanding any contrary provision of any applicable plan or agreement covering
any such stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units or similar awards, fully
vest and become exercisable in full immediately prior to such Change in Control and shall remain
outstanding and in effect in accordance with their terms, and any restrictions, forfeiture
conditions or other conditions or criteria applicable to any such awards shall lapse immediately
prior to such Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such award that is subject to
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) shall only fully vest
and become exercisable in full immediately upon a “change in ownership or effective control” as
defined in Section 409A that also constitutes a Change in Control as defined in Section 3.1 above.
Executive may exercise any such stock options or other exercisable awards at any time before the
expiration of their term.

     After a Change in Control, if any option (the “Terminated Option”) relating to the Company’s
capital stock does not remain outstanding, the successor to the Company or its then Parent shall
either:

     (a) issue an option (the “Successor Option”), to purchase common stock of such successor or
Parent in an amount such that if Executive exercised the Successor Option immediately after the
Change in Control, he would be in the same economic position as if he had exercised the Terminated
Option immediately before the Change in Control, with such substitution to be made in accordance
with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The

Davis Execution Version

10

 

 aggregate exercise price for all of the
shares covered by such Successor Option shall equal the
aggregate exercise price of the Terminated Option. The term of such Successor Option shall
equal the remainder of the term of the Terminated Option (as if the Terminated Option had remained
outstanding) and such Successor Option shall be fully vested and exercisable in full on the date of
its grant; or

     (b) pay the Executive a cash amount within 10 days after the consummation of the Change in
Control, in an amount agreed to by the Company and the Executive. Such amount shall be at least
equivalent on an after-tax basis to the net after-tax gain that the Executive would have realized
if he had been issued a Successor Option under clause (a) above and had immediately exercised such
Successor Option and sold the underlying stock, taking into account the different tax rates that
apply to such cash amount and to such gain, and such amount shall also reflect other differences to
the Executive between receiving a cash amount under this clause (b) and receiving a Successor
Option under clause (a) above.

     3.3 Certain Additional Payments. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the
Company or its successor to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed
or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (a “Payment”), would be
subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (such excise tax, together with any
interest thereon, any penalties, additions to tax, or additional amounts with respect to such
excise tax, and any interest in respect of such penalties, additions to tax or additional amounts,
being collectively referred herein to as the “Excise Tax”), then Executive shall be entitled to
receive and the Company or its successor shall make an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in
an amount such that after payment by Executive of all taxes (as defined herein) imposed upon the
Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax
imposed upon the Payment. The Gross-Up Payment shall be made to Executive as soon as practicable
after written request for payment is submitted by Executive to the Company or its successor, but in
no event later than the end of the calendar year next following the year in which Executive remits
the related taxes. For purposes of this Section 3.3, the terms “tax” and “taxes” mean any and all
taxes of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all Excise Taxes, income
taxes, and employment taxes), together with any interest thereon, any penalties, additions to tax,
or additional amounts with respect to such taxes and any interest in respect of such penalties,
additions to tax, or additional amounts. All determinations made under this Section 3.3, including
whether a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions
to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by a registered public accounting
firm designated by Executive and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Accounting Firm”). All
fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company or its successor.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.3, if any tax authority determines that
a greater Excise Tax should be imposed upon a Payment than is determined by the Accounting Firm
pursuant to this Section 3.3, Executive shall be entitled to receive the full Gross-Up Payment
calculated on the basis of the amount of Excise Tax determined to be payable by such tax authority
from the Company or its successor within 10 days of the Company receiving written notice of such
determination.

4. Miscellaneous

     4.1 Statements About the Company or Executive. Except as may be required to comply
with a court order, lawful subpoena or governmental request for information, Executive and the

shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or when mailed by United States

writing to the Company.

     4.3 No Waiver. No failure by either party at any time to give notice of any breach by
the other party of, or to require compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement
shall be deemed a waiver of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement.

     4.4 Mediation. If a dispute arises out of or relates to Executive’s termination,
other than a dispute regarding Executive’s obligations under Article 3, and if the dispute cannot
be settled through direct discussions, then the Company and Executive agree to try to settle the
dispute in an amicable manner by confidential mediation before having recourse to any other
proceeding or forum. The Company agrees to pay any pre-suit mediation fee charged by the mediator
for two full days of mediation.

     4.5 Venue/Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by Texas law. Any
litigation that may be brought by either party involving the enforcement of this Agreement or the
rights, duties, or obligations under this Agreement, shall be brought exclusively in the State or
federal courts sitting in Houston, Harris County, Texas.

     4.6 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and
be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors
and permitted assigns. The Company may assign this Agreement to any affiliated entity.
Executive’s rights and obligations under this Agreement are personal, and they shall not be
assigned or transferred without the Company’s prior written consent otherwise than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution. The Company will require any successor (direct or indirect and
whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, share exchange or otherwise) to substantially all of
the business, properties and assets of the Company expressly to assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent the Company would have been required to perform
it had no succession taken place.

     4.7 Other Agreements/Entire Agreement. This Agreement shall supersede any and all
existing oral or written agreements, representations or warranties between Executive and the
Company or any of its affiliated entities relating to the terms of Executive’s termination by the
Company or any of its affiliated entities, including that certain Employment Agreement, dated March
1, 2001 between Central Concrete Supply Co., Inc., an affiliate of the Company (the

Davis Execution Version

12

 

“Initial Agreement”), and the Initial Agreement is hereby terminated as of the Effective Date
hereof. This Agreement (including Exhibit “A” attached hereto, which is incorporated herein by
reference and made an integral part of this Agreement) constitutes the entire agreement of the
parties with respect to the subject matters of this Agreement. Any modification of this Agreement
(including without limitation to Exhibit “A”) will be effective only if it is in writing and signed
by each party.

     4.8 Invalidity. Should any provision(s) in this Agreement be held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall be
unaffected and shall continue in full force and effect, and the invalid, void or unenforceable
provision(s) shall be deemed not to be part of this Agreement.

     4.9 Withholding. All payments required to be made to Executive pursuant to this
Agreement shall be subject to the withholding of amounts relating to income and employment taxes
and other customary employee deductions in conformity with the Company’s payroll policies in effect
from time to time.

     4.10 Time of Payments. All amounts payable under Sections 1.1.b and 1.2 of this
Agreement shall be paid within 10 days after Executive’s execution without revocation of a release
in a form satisfactory to the Company and within the time period prescribed by the Company (which
may not be less than 21 days after the date of termination of employment). If Executive is a
“specified employee,” as such term is defined in Section 409A and determined as described below in
this Section 4.10, any payments payable as a result of Executive’s termination (other than death)
shall not be payable before the earliest of (i) the date that is six months after Executive’s
termination, (ii) the date of Executive’s death, or (iii) the date that otherwise complies with the
requirements of Section 409A. This Section 4.10 shall be applied by accumulating all payments that
otherwise would have been paid within six months of Executive’s termination and paying such
accumulated amounts at the earliest date which complies with the requirements of Section 409A.
Executive shall be a “specified employee” for the twelve-month period beginning on April 1 of a
year if Executive is a “key employee” as defined in Section 416(i) of the Code (without regard to
Section 416(i)(5)) as of December 31 of the preceding year or using such dates as designated by the
Company in accordance with Section 409A and in a manner that is consistent with respect to all of
the Company’s nonqualified deferred compensation plans. For purposes of determining the identity
of specified employees, the Company may establish procedures as it deems appropriate in accordance
with Section 409A.

     4.11 Headings. The Article and Section headings contained in this Agreement are for
reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this
Agreement.

     4.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and
by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to
be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
