_____________________________________

(Not to be used for Signature Guarantees)

This form, or one substantially equivalent hereto, must be used to accept the Offer (as defined below) if certificates representing shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Commercial Metals Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the associated rights issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement, dated as of July 30, 2011, between the Company and Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., as Rights Agent, that are issued and outstanding (the “Rights” and, together with the Common Stock, the “Shares”), and, if certificates have been issued in respect of Rights prior to the expiration of the Offer, certificates representing the associated Rights, are not immediately available (or if the procedure for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on a timely basis), or if time will not permit all required documents to reach the Depositary prior to the Expiration Date (as defined in Section 1 of the Offer to Purchase (as defined below)). Such form may be delivered by hand, transmitted by facsimile transmission or mailed to the Depositary at the addresses and facsimile number set forth below. See Section 2 of the Offer to Purchase.

The Rights are presently evidenced by the certificates for the Common Stock. However, in the future the Company may issue separate certificates representing the Rights. Until such time as any such certificates are issued, a tender by a stockholder of such stockholder’s shares of Common Stock will also constitute a tender of the associated Rights. After such time as any such certificates representing Rights are issued, a stockholder will also be required to tender such certificates representing the associated Rights in connection with a tender by such stockholder of such stockholder’s shares of Common Stock. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this notice of guaranteed delivery to “Shares” shall include the associated Rights.
