trust" to assist Contran in meeting certain deferred

compensation obligations that it owes to Harold C. Simmons.  If

the CDCT assets are insufficient to satisfy such obligations,

Contran is obligated to satisfy the balance of such obligations

as they come due.  Pursuant to the terms of the CDCT, Contran

(i) retains the power to vote the shares of the issuer's common

stock held directly by the CDCT, (ii) retains dispositive power

over such shares and (iii) may be deemed the indirect beneficial

owner of such shares.



     Mr. Harold C. Simmons is chairman of the board of Kronos,

NL, Valhi and VHC and chairman of the board and chief executive officer

of Contran.



     By virtue of the offices held, the stock ownership and his

services as trustee, all as described above, (a) Mr. Simmons may

be deemed to control 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 holds directly.

subsidiary of NL) and Kronos directly own 14,372,970 shares and 1,724,916

statement. As already 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 and Kronos, the reporting persons further

understand that, pursuant to Delaware law, Valhi treats the shares of

Valhi common stock that NL and Kronos own as treasury stock for voting

purposes. For the purposes of this statement, such shares of Valhi common

stock that NL and Kronos hold directly are not deemed outstanding.
