contract modifications that would include a substantial, although not yet
definitive, reduction in the purchase price for these assets. U.S. Aggregates
remains in negotiations with Florida Rock with respect to these matters. In
addition, U.S. Aggregates is engaged in discussions with its senior and
subordinated lenders regarding financial alternatives.
