certain of such entities and (b) Mr. Simmons and certain of such entities may be

deemed to possess indirect beneficial ownership of, and a pecuniary interest in,

shares of common stock directly held by certain of such other entities. However,

Mr. Simmons disclaims such beneficial ownership of, and such pecuniary interest

in, such shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any of such

entities, except to the extent of his vested beneficial interest, if any, in the

shares the CDCT and the CMRT hold directly.



     The reporting person understands that NL, a subsidiary of NL and Kronos

directly own 3,604,790 shares, 1,186,200 shares and 574,972 shares,

stated, Valhi is the direct holder of approximately 83.0% of the outstanding

shares of common stock of NL and 50.0% of the outstanding shares of Kronos

common stock.  As a result of Valhi's direct and indirect ownership of NL, its

subsidiary and Kronos, the reporting person further understands that, pursuant
