(a) This Statement is filed by (i) Tremont Corporation ("Tremont") as
the direct holder of Shares, (ii) The Combined Master Retirement Trust (the
"CMRT") as the direct holder of Shares and by virtue of its indirect ownership
of securities of Tremont (as described below in this Statement), (iii) by virtue
of the direct and indirect ownership of securities of Tremont (as described
below in this Statement), Tremont Group, Inc. ("TGI"), Tremont Holdings, LLC
("TRE Holdings"), NL Industries, Inc. ("NL"), Valhi, Inc. ("Valhi"), Valhi
Group, Inc. ("VGI"), National City Lines, Inc. ("National"), NOA, Inc. ("NOA"),
Dixie Holding Company ("Dixie Holding"), Dixie Rice Agricultural Corporation,
Inc. ("Dixie Rice"), Southwest Louisiana Land Company, Inc. ("Southwest"),
Contran Corporation ("Contran") and the Harold Simmons Foundation, Inc. (the

the other entities (as described in this Statement), Harold C. Simmons
(collectively, the "Reporting Persons"). By signing this Statement, each
Reporting Person agrees that this Statement is filed on its or his behalf.
Tremont and the CMRT are the direct holders of approximately 38.6% and
1.9%, respectively, of the 31,817,801 Shares outstanding as of April 30, 2001
according to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
March 31, 2001 (the "Outstanding Shares"). Tremont may be deemed to control the
Company.
TGI, TRE Holdings and Valhi are the direct holders of approximately
80.0%, 0.1% and 0.1%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of Tremont common
stock and together may be deemed to control Tremont. Valhi and TRE Holdings are
the direct holders of 80.0% and 20.0%, respectively of the outstanding common
stock of TGI and together may be deemed to control TGI. NL is the sole member of
TRE Holdings and may be deemed to control TRE Holdings. Valhi and Tremont are
the direct holders of approximately 60.4% and 20.5%, respectively, of the
outstanding common stock of NL and together may be deemed to control NL. VGI,
National, Contran, the Foundation, the Contran Deferred Compensation Trust No. 2
(the "CDCT No. 2") and the CMRT are the direct holders of 81.7%, 9.5%, 1.9%,
0.5%, 0.4% and 0.1%, respectively, of the common stock of Valhi. Together, VGI,
National and Contran may be deemed to control Valhi. National, NOA and Dixie
Holding are the direct holders of approximately 73.3%, 11.4% and 15.3%,
respectively, of the outstanding common stock of VGI. Together, National, NOA
and Dixie Holding may be deemed to control VGI. Contran and NOA are the direct

Contran is the holder of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Dixie Rice and
may be deemed to control Dixie Rice. Contran is the holder of approximately
88.9% of the outstanding common stock of Southwest and may be deemed to control
Southwest.
Substantially all of Contran's outstanding voting stock is held by
trusts established for the benefit of certain children and grandchildren of
Harold C. Simmons (the "Trusts"), of which Mr. Simmons is the sole trustee. As
sole trustee of each of the Trusts, Mr. Simmons has the power to vote and direct
the disposition of the shares of Contran stock held by each of the Trusts. Mr.
Simmons, however, disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares of Contran stock
that the Trusts hold.
The CMRT directly holds approximately 1.9% of the Outstanding Shares
and 0.1% of the outstanding shares of Valhi common stock. Valhi established the
CMRT as a trust to permit the collective investment by master trusts that
maintain the assets of certain employee benefit plans Valhi and related
companies adopt. Mr. Simmons is the sole trustee of the CMRT and a member of the
trust investment committee for the CMRT. Mr. Simmons is a participant in one or
more of the employee benefit plans that invest through the CMRT.
The Foundation directly holds approximately 0.5% of the outstanding
Valhi common stock. The Foundation is a tax-exempt foundation organized for
charitable purposes. Harold C. Simmons is the chairman of the board and chief
executive officer of the Foundation and may be deemed to control the Foundation.
The CDCT No. 2 directly holds approximately 0.4% of the outstanding
Valhi common stock. U.S. Bank National Association serves as the trustee of the
CDCT No. 2. Contran established the CDCT No. 2 as an irrevocable "rabbi trust"
to assist Contran in meeting certain deferred compensation obligations that it
owes to Harold C. Simmons. If the CDCT No. 2 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 No. 2, Contran
(i) retains the power to vote the shares of Valhi common stock held directly by
the CDCT No. 2, (ii) retains dispositive power over such shares and (iii) may be
deemed the indirect beneficial owner of such shares.
Valmont Insurance Company ("Valmont") and a subsidiary of NL directly
own 1,000,000 shares and 1,186,200 shares, respectively, of Valhi common stock.
Valhi is the direct holder of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Valmont
and may be deemed to control Valmont. Pursuant to Delaware law, Valhi treats the
shares of Valhi common stock that Valmont and the subsidiary of NL own as
treasury stock for voting purposes and for the purposes of this Statement such
shares are not deemed outstanding.
Mr. Harold C. Simmons is chairman of the board and chief executive
officer of TGI, Valhi, VGI, National, NOA, Dixie Holding, Dixie Rice, Southwest
and Contran. Mr. Simmons is also chairman of the board of NL and a director of
Tremont.
By virtue of the holding of the offices, the stock ownership and his
service as trustee, all as described above, (a) Mr. Simmons may be deemed to
control the entities described above and (b) Mr. Simmons and certain of such
entities may be deemed to possess indirect beneficial ownership of Shares
directly held by certain of such other entities. However, Mr. Simmons disclaims
beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly,
by any of such entities, except to the extent of his vested beneficial interest
in the Shares held by the CMRT.
Harold C. Simmons' spouse is the direct owner of 69,475 shares of NL
common stock and 77,000 shares of Valhi common stock. Mr. Simmons may be deemed
to share indirect beneficial ownership of such shares. Mr. Simmons disclaims all
such beneficial ownership.
