(2) Our cement raw materials operations in the U.S. include two limestone quarries that also produce hard rock aggregates.<br />

As of December 31, 2010, we operated 488 aggregates quarries across our global operations, not including our facilities<br />

dedicated to serve our ready-mix and aggregates businesses. We estimate that our proven and probable aggregates reserves, on a<br />

consolidated basis, have an average remaining life of 26 years, assuming 2006-2010 average production (last five years average<br />

aggregates production).<br />

The table set forth below, present our total permitted proven and probable aggregates reserves by geographic segment and<br />

material type extracted or produced in our aggregates quarries operations.<br />
