Gentlemen:
This Letter Agreement is intended to memorialize certain agreements and understandings we have reached with respect to the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 28, 2008, by and among Phoenix Parent Corp., Phoenix Merger Sub, Inc. and Meadow Valley Corporation (the “Merger Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given in the Merger Agreement:
     (a) At the Closing and effective as of the Effective Time, each of Mr. Larson and Mr. Nelson shall contribute to Phoenix Holdings Management LLC, to be renamed Meadow Valley Holdings LLC (the “Company”), all of the Shares owned by him immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether acquired through the exercise of Options or otherwise, and shall receive in exchange therefor Class A Preferred Units of the Company. The number of Shares obtained through the exercise of Options will equal the number of Shares under option to Mr. Larson and Mr. Nelson reduced by (i) any Shares used to pay the exercise price in a cashless exercise of Options and (ii) the number of Shares used to pay federal income tax with respect to the exercise of Options. The percentage of the Class A Preferred Units outstanding as of the Effective Time to be issued to each of Mr. Larson and Mr. Nelson as of the Effective Time shall be determined by dividing the value of the net Shares contributed by each of Mr. Larson and Mr. Nelson by the total equity commitment required to be contributed to the Company at Closing.
     (b) The parties hereto agree to keep the terms and conditions of this Letter Agreement confidential and not to disclose to any other party the terms, conditions or existence hereof.
