NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Basis of presentation:

The consolidated balance sheet of CompX International Inc. and Subsidiaries
(collectively,  the  "Company") at December 31, 2001 has been condensed from the
Company's  audited   consolidated   financial   statements  at  that  date.  The
consolidated  balance sheet at June 30, 2002 and the consolidated  statements of
income,  comprehensive  income,  stockholders'  equity  and cash  flows  for the
interim  periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2002 have been prepared by the Company,
without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of
normal  recurring  adjustments,  necessary  to present  fairly the  consolidated
financial  position,  results of operations  and cash flows have been made.  The
results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily  indicative of
the  operating  results  for a  full  year  or  of  future  operations.  Certain
information  normally  included in financial  statements  prepared in accordance
with accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the United States of America
has  been  condensed  or  omitted.  The  accompanying   consolidated   financial
statements  should be read in  conjunction  with the Company's  Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 (the "2001 Annual Report").

Basic earnings per share of common stock is based upon the weighted average
number of  common  shares  actually  outstanding  during  each  period.  Diluted
earnings per share of common stock includes the impact of  outstanding  dilutive
stock options.

Commitments and contingencies are discussed in "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results of Operations"  and the 2001 Annual
Report.

The  Company  is  69%  owned  by  Valhi,   Inc.  (NYSE:  VHI)  and  Valhi's
wholly-owned  subsidiary Valcor,  Inc. Contran  Corporation  holds,  directly or
through  subsidiaries,  approximately 93% of Valhi's  outstanding  common stock.
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, of which Mr. Simmons is sole trustee.  Mr. Simmons, the Chairman of the
Board of each of  Contran,  Valhi and  Valcor,  may be deemed  to  control  such
companies and the Company.

Note 2 - Business segment information:

The Company defines its operations in terms of three  operating  segments -
CompX Security Products,  CompX Waterloo and CompX Regout (formerly called CompX
Europe). The CompX Security Products segment,  with manufacturing  facilities in
South Carolina and Illinois,  manufactures locking mechanisms and other security
products for sales to the office furniture, banking, vending, computer and other
industries.  The CompX Waterloo segment, with facilities in Canada, Michigan and
Taiwan, and the CompX Regout segment,  with facilities in the Netherlands,  both
manufacture a complete line of precision  ball bearing  slides for use in office
furniture,   computer-related   equipment,   tool  storage  cabinets  and  other
applications,   and  manufacture  or  distribute   ergonomic   computer  support
accessories   for   office   furniture.   Because   of  the   similar   economic
characteristics  between the CompX Waterloo and CompX Regout segments and due to
the identical products,  customer types,  production  processes and distribution
methods shared by these two segments,  they have been  aggregated  into a single
reportable segment for segment reporting purposes.

estimated fair value of certain patents acquired,  are stated net of accumulated
amortization  of $1.1  million  at  June  30,  2002  (December  31,  2001 - $1.0
million).  Such  intangible  assets  have been,  and will  continue  to be after
adoption  of  SFAS  No.  142  effective  January  1,  2002,   amortized  by  the
straight-line  method over the lives of the patents  (approximately  10.75 years
remaining  at June 30,  2002) with no assumed  residual  value at the end of the
life of the patents. Amortization expense of intangible assets was approximately
$60,000 in each of the three  month  periods  ending  June 30, 2001 and 2002 and
$120,000  in each of the first six  months of 2001 and 2002.  Such  amortization
expense is expected to be approximately  $250,000 in each of calendar years 2002
through 2006.

In 2001, a charge of $2.7 million  (euro 3.1 million) was recorded  related
to a  consolidation  and  rationalization  of CompX's  Regout  operations.  This
restructuring  effort included headcount reductions of about 35 employees at the
Company's Maastricht,  the Netherlands facility,  substantially all of which had
been implemented by December 31, 2001. Through June 30, 2002, approximately $2.2
million  of the total  charge  has been  paid.  Of the  remainder,  $100,000  is
expected  to be paid in the last six months of 2002 and  $600,000  in 2003.  The
restructuring liability has also changed due to fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates.

Note 9 - Accounting principles newly adopted in 2002:

Goodwill.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 142,  Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets,  effective  January 1, 2002.  Under SFAS No. 142,  goodwill is no longer
amortized on a periodic  basis.  Goodwill is subject to an impairment test to be
performed  at least on an annual  basis,  and  impairment  reviews may result in
future periodic write-downs charged to earnings. Under the transition provisions
of SFAS No.  142,  all  goodwill  existing  as of June  30,  2001  ceased  to be
periodically  amortized  as of January 1, 2002,  and all  goodwill  arising in a
purchase  business  combination  completed  on or  after  July 1,  2001  was not
periodically amortized from the date of such combination.

As  discussed  in Note 4, the  Company  has  assigned  its  goodwill to two
reporting  units (as that term is defined in SFAS No. 142).  Under SFAS No. 142,
such goodwill  will be deemed to not be impaired if the estimated  fair value of
the CompX Security  Products and CompX  Waterloo/CompX  Regout  reporting  units
exceeds the respective net carrying value of such reporting units, including the
allocated  goodwill.  If the  fair  value  of the  reporting  unit is less  than
carrying value, then a goodwill impairment loss would be recognized equal to the
excess,  if any, of the net carrying  value of the reporting  unit goodwill over
its implied fair value (up to a maximum  impairment  equal to the carrying value
of the goodwill). The implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill would be the
amount equal to the excess of the  estimated  fair value of the  reporting  unit
over the amount that would be  allocated  to the  tangible  and  intangible  net
assets of the reporting unit (including  unrecognized  intangible  assets) as if
such  reporting  unit had  been  acquired  in a  purchase  business  combination
accounted for in accordance with GAAP as of the date of the impairment testing.

In determining the estimated fair value of the reporting units, the Company
will use discounted cash flow valuation techniques.

The Company has completed  its initial,  transitional  goodwill  impairment
analysis under SFAS No. 142 as of January 1, 2002,  and no goodwill  impairments
were deemed to exist. In accordance  with the  requirements of SFAS No. 142, the
Company will review  goodwill of the reporting  units for impairment  during the
third quarter of each year starting in 2002.  Goodwill will also be reviewed for
impairment   at  other  times  during  each  year  when  events  or  changes  in
circumstances indicate that an impairment might be present.

As shown in the following table, the Company would have reported net income
of $3.2 million, or $.21 per share, and $7.4 million, or $.49 per share, for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001,  respectively,  if the goodwill
amortization  included  in the  Company's  reported  net  income  had  not  been
recognized.

Impairment  of  long-lived  assets.  The  Company  adopted  SFAS  No.  144,
Accounting  for the  Impairment  or Disposal  of  Long-Lived  Assets,  effective
January 1, 2002.  SFAS No. 144 retains the  fundamental  provisions  of existing
GAAP with  respect  to the  recognition  and  measurement  of  long-lived  asset
impairment  contained  in  SFAS  No.  121,  Accounting  for  the  Impairment  of
Long-Lived  Assets and for Lived-Lived  Assets to be Disposed Of. However,  SFAS
No. 144 provides new guidance intended to address certain  implementation issues
associated  with SFAS No.  121,  including  expanded  guidance  with  respect to
appropriate  cash  flows  to be used to  determine  whether  recognition  of any
long-lived  asset  impairment  is  required,  and if required how to measure the
amount of the  impairment.  SFAS No. 144 also requires that any net assets to be
disposed of by sale are to be  reported  at the lower of carrying  value or fair
value less cost to sell, and expands the reporting of discontinued operations to
include any  component of an entity with  operations  and cash flows that can be
clearly distinguished from the rest of the entity.  Adoption of SFAS No. 144 did
not have a significant effect on the Company as of January 1, 2002.

Note 10 - Accounting principles not yet adopted:

The  Company  will  adopt SFAS No.  143,  Accounting  for Asset  Retirement
Obligations,  no later than January 1, 2003.  Under SFAS No. 143, the fair value
of a liability  for an asset  retirement  obligation  covered under the scope of
SFAS No.  143  would be  recognized  in the  period in which  the  liability  is
incurred,  with an  offsetting  increase in the  carrying  amount of the related
long-lived  asset.  Over time,  the  liability  would be accreted to its present
value, and the capitalized cost would be depreciated over the useful life of the
related asset.  Upon settlement of the liability,  an entity would either settle
the obligation for its recorded amount or incur a gain or loss upon  settlement.
The Company is still  studying this  standard to determine,  among other things,
whether it has any asset  retirement  obligations  which are  covered  under the
scope of SFAS No. 143, and the effect,  if any, to the Company of adopting  SFAS
No. 143 has not yet been determined.

The Company will adopt SFAS No. 146,  Accounting for Costs  Associated with
Exit or Disposal Activities,  no later than January 1, 2003 for exit or disposal
activities initiated on or after the date of adoption. Under SFAS No. 146, costs
associated with exit  activities,  as defined,  that are covered by the scope of
SFAS No. 146 will be recognized and measured initially at fair value,  generally
in the period in which the liability is incurred.  Costs covered by the scope of
SFAS No. 146  include  termination  benefits  provided  to  employees,  costs to
consolidate  facilities or relocate employees,  and costs to terminate contracts
(other than a capital lease).  Under existing GAAP, a liability for such an exit
cost is recognized at the date an exit plan is adopted,  which may or may not be
the date at which the liability has been incurred.

MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS                                                                     
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overview

The Company  reported  net income of $.8  million in the second  quarter of
2002, a decrease of 69% from net income of $2.7  million for the second  quarter
of 2001. The Company reported net income of $2.2 million in the first six months
of 2002, a 66% decrease  from net income of $6.4 million in the first six months
of 2001.

As discussed in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements,  beginning
in 2002 the Company no longer  recognizes  periodic  amortization of goodwill in
its  results  of  operations.  The  Company  would have  reported  net income of
approximately  $3.2  million in the second  quarter of 2001,  or about  $500,000
higher, if goodwill  amortization  included in the Company's reported net income
had not been recognized.  Of such $500,000  difference,  approximately  $200,000
relates  to  amortization  of  goodwill  attributable  to  the  Company's  CompX
Waterloo/CompX  Regout  segment  and  $300,000  relates to the  Company's  CompX
Security  Products  segment.  For the six month period ended June 30, 2001,  net
income would have been $7.4 million or about $1.0 million  higher than  reported
net income if goodwill  amortization  had not been  recognized.  Amortization of
goodwill  attributable  to each  reportable  segment for the first six months of
2001 is  proportionate  to the  goodwill  amortization  reported  for the second
quarter of 2001.

Net sales.  Net sales  decreased in the second quarter and first six months
of 2002 compared to the same periods in 2001  principally  due to continued weak
demand for the Company's  component products sold to the office furniture market
resulting from continued weak economic conditions in the manufacturing sector in
North America and Europe.  Net sales of slide products  decreased 4% and 16% for
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same periods
in 2001,  with sales of ergonomic  products  decreasing 16% and 19% for the same
comparable  periods.  As compared to the corresponding  period in 2001, sales of
security  products  increased 3% for the second  quarter of 2002, in part due to
new business  development and increased orders in advance of  implementation  of
July 2002 price increases.  Sales of security products  decreased 4% for the six
month period ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the corresponding period.

Operating  income.  Operating  income  decreased in the second  quarter and
first six  months of 2002  compared  to the same  periods in 2001.  Despite  the
positive effects of continued cost reductions and no amortization of goodwill in
2002,  operating income in 2002 was adversely impacted by the continuing decline
in net sales, changes in product mix and increases in certain raw material costs
(primarily  steel).  In addition,  competitive  pricing pressures from customers
caused certain selling price  decreases.  If goodwill  amortization  included in
CompX's  reported  operating  income had not been  recognized  during the second
quarter  and first  six  months  of 2001,  total  operating  income  would  have
decreased  55% and 61% in the second  quarter and first six month period of 2002
compared to the same periods in 2001.  Similarly,  operating income at the CompX
Security  Products segment would have decreased 16% and 22% and operating income
at the CompX Waterloo/CompX  Regout segment would have decreased 90% and 91% for
the same comparable  periods.  Note 9 to the Consolidated  Financial  Statements
more fully  discusses the  transitional  impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, as of January 1, 2002.

CompX has  substantial  operations  and assets  located  outside the United
States  (principally in Canada,  the Netherlands and Taiwan,  and all within the
CompX Waterloo/CompX  Regout segment). A portion of CompX's sales generated from
its  non-U.S.  operations  are  denominated  in  currencies  other than the U.S.
dollar,  principally the Canadian dollar, the euro and the New Taiwan dollar. In
addition,  approximately  60% of  CompX's  sales  generated  from  its  Canadian
operations are  denominated in the U.S.  dollar.  Most raw materials,  labor and
other production costs for such non-U.S. operations are denominated primarily in
local  currencies.  Consequently,  the translated  U.S.  dollar value of CompX's
foreign  sales and  operating  results  are subject to  currency  exchange  rate
fluctuations which may favorably or unfavorably impact reported earnings and may
affect  comparability of period-to-period  operating results.  During the second
quarter and first six months of 2002, currency exchange rate fluctuations of the
Canadian  dollar and the New Taiwan  dollar  negatively  impacted the  Company's
sales  comparisons  with the  corresponding  period of the prior  year,  however
currency  exchange  rate  fluctuations  with  respect to the euro  substantially
offset  this  negative  impact  (principally  with  respect to slide  products).
Excluding the effect of currency,  the  Company's net sales  decreased 5% in the
second  quarter  of 2002 and  decreased  11% in the  first  six  months  of 2002
compared to the  corresponding  periods in 2001.  The net sales of the Company's
CompX Waterloo/CompX Regout segment decreased 9% and 15% for the same comparable
periods. Currency exchange rate fluctuations with respect to the Canadian dollar
positively  affected CompX's operating income comparisons with the corresponding
period of the prior year whereas  exchange rate  fluctuations  in the euro,  New
Taiwan dollar and other  currencies  did not materially  impact these  operating
income comparisons. Excluding the effect of currency, operating income decreased
49% and 59% in the second  quarter and first six months of 2002 compared to 2001
and operating income for the CompX  Waterloo/CompX  Regout segment decreased 49%
and 76%, for the same comparable periods.

Outlook.  The Company  currently  expects that soft market  conditions will
continue  for  the  near-term  in  the  office  furniture  market,  the  primary
end-market for the Company's products.  As a result,  sales volumes are expected
to remain at  depressed  levels for at least the  remainder  of the year,  while
competitive  pricing  pressures  are  expected  to  continue.  Furthermore,  the
worldwide  steel price increase that followed the steel tariff imposed this year
by the United States  government  are expected to continue to negatively  impact
margins on the Company's precision slide and ergonomic computer support products
where steel is the primary raw  material.  The Company will continue to focus on
cost  improvement  initiatives and prudent balance sheet  management in order to
minimize  the impact of lower  sales to the  office  furniture  industry  and to
develop value-added  customer  relationships to improve operating  earnings.  In
connection  with these cost  improvement  initiatives,  the Company may consider
strategies  that could  result in  capacity  reductions,  the  consolidation  of
existing facilities and production  rebalancing which, depending on the outcome,
may result in future restructuring charges.

General Corporate and other items

Other  general  corporate  income,  net. The  components  of other  general
corporate  income,  net are summarized in Note 7 to the  Consolidated  Financial
Statements,  and primarily include interest income, foreign currency transaction
gains and losses and a settlement  gain relating to CompX's  terminated  defined
benefit pension plan. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interest income  decreased in the second quarter and increased in the first
six  months  of 2002 as  compared  to the  corresponding  periods  in 2001.  The
decrease in interest  income is primarily due to lower  interest rates earned on
funds available for investment. The increase in interest income in the six month
period  ending  June  30,  2002 is  primarily  due to a  higher  level  of funds
available for investment in the first half of 2002 compared to the first half of
2001. Also included in other general corporate  income,  net are other gains and
losses on disposals of property and equipment and other assets.

Interest  expense.  Interest expense declined in the second quarter of 2002
and first six months of 2002 compared to the  corresponding  periods of 2001 due
primarily to lower average  interest  rates on CompX's  Revolving  Senior Credit
Facility.  Assuming interest rates do not increase  significantly  from year-end
2001 levels,  interest  expense in the remainder of 2002 is expected to continue
to be lower  compared to the same periods in 2001 due to lower average  interest
rates  on the  Company's  Revolving  Senior  Credit  Facility  and due to  lower
outstanding balances.

Provision  for income  taxes.  The  principal  reasons  for the  difference
between CompX's effective income tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory income
tax rates are  explained  in Note 8 to the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements.
Income  tax rates vary by  jurisdiction  (county  and/or  state),  and  relative
changes  in the  geographic  mix of  CompX's  pre-tax  earnings  can  result  in
fluctuations  in the effective  income tax rate.  The effective tax rate for the
three  months  ended June 30, 2002  increased to 47.0% from 40.3% for the second
quarter  of 2001 due to lower  income  levels  and an  increased  proportion  of
foreign-source income which is taxed at a higher effective tax rate.

As discussed in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements,  effective
January 1, 2002,  the  Company no longer  recognizes  periodic  amortization  of
goodwill.  Under GAAP,  generally there is no income tax benefit  recognized for
financial reporting purposes attributable to goodwill amortization. Accordingly,
ceasing  to  periodically  amortize  goodwill  beginning  in  2002  reduced  the
Company's  overall  effective  income tax rate as  compared  to 2001,  partially
offsetting the increased effective tax rate on foreign-source income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Consolidated cash flows

Operating  activities.  Trends in cash  flows  from  operating  activities,
excluding changes in assets and liabilities, are generally similar to the trends
in the  Company's  earnings.  Such cash flows  totaled  $14.5  million  and $8.2
million in the first six months of 2001 and 2002, respectively,  compared to net
income of $6.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

Changes  in assets  and  liabilities  result  primarily  from the timing of
production,  sales  and  purchases.  Such  changes  in  assets  and  liabilities
generally  tend to even out over time and  result in trends in cash  flows  from
operating activities generally reflecting earnings trends.

Investing  activities.  Net cash used by investing  activities totaled $7.0
million and $7.5 million in the first six months of 2001 and 2002, respectively.

The capital  expenditures for 2002 relate primarily to tooling costs at the
Company's  facilities and equipment additions designed to improve  manufacturing
efficiencies at the Company's security products and ergonomic and slide products
facilities.  Capital  expenditures for 2002 are estimated at  approximately  $10
million to $13 million,  the majority of which relate to projects that emphasize
improved  production  efficiency and shifting  production capacity to lower cost
facilities. Firm purchase commitments for capital projects not commenced at June
30, 2002 approximated [$1.5] million.

Financing  activities.  Net cash  provided  (used) by financing  activities
totaled  $2.0  million and  ($22.8)  million in the first six months of 2001 and
2002,  respectively.  The Company  paid its regular  quarterly  dividend of $1.9
million,  or $.125 per share,  in the second quarter of 2002 ($3.8  million,  or
$.25 per share for the first six months of 2002). In addition,  the Company used
available  cash on hand to reduce its  outstanding  debt by $19  million in June
2002.

CompX's  board of  directors  has  authorized  CompX to  purchase up to 1.5
million  shares  of its  common  stock in open  market  or  privately-negotiated
transactions  over an  unspecified  period of time.  Through June 30, 2002,  the
Company had purchased 1.1 million shares pursuant to such  authorization  for an
aggregate of $11.3 million. None of such shares were purchased during 2002.

Management  believes  that cash  generated  from  operations  and borrowing
availability under the Company's  unsecured  revolving bank credit facility ($70
million  available for borrowing at June 30, 2002),  together with cash on hand,
will be sufficient to meet the Company's  liquidity  needs for working  capital,
capital  expenditures,  debt service and dividends for the  foreseeable  future.
CompX expects to renew its existing  revolving bank credit facility prior to its
expiration  in  February  2003.  There can be no  assurance  however,  that such
renewal will occur, or that the Company will be able to obtain  comparable terms
under the new credit facility.

The Company periodically evaluates its liquidity requirements,  alternative
uses of capital,  capital needs and available  resources in view of, among other
things, its capital  expenditure  requirements in light of its capital resources
and estimated  future  operating  cash flows.  As a result of this process,  the
Company has in the past and may in the future seek to raise additional  capital,
refinance or restructure indebtedness,  issue additional securities,  modify its
dividend policy,  repurchase shares of its common stock or take a combination of
such steps to manage its liquidity and capital  resources.  In the normal course
of   business,   the  Company  may  review   opportunities   for   acquisitions,
divestitures,  joint  ventures or other business  combinations  in the component
products  industry.  In the  event  of any such  transaction,  the  Company  may
consider  using  available  cash,   issuing   additional  equity  securities  or
increasing the indebtedness of the Company or its subsidiaries.

As  provided  by the  safe  harbor  provisions  of the  Private  Securities
Litigation  Reform Act of 1995, the Company cautions that the statements in this
Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q relating to matters that are not historical facts
are  forward-looking   statements  that  represent   management's   beliefs  and
assumptions based on currently available information. Forward-looking statements
can be  identified  by the use of words such as  "believes,"  "intends,"  "may,"
"should," "anticipates," "expected" or comparable terminology, or by discussions
of strategies  or trends.  Although the Company  believes that the  expectations
reflected in such forward-looking  statements are reasonable, it cannot give any
assurances that these expectations will prove to be correct.  Such statements by
their  nature   involve   substantial   risks  and   uncertainties   that  could
significantly  impact expected  results,  and actual future results could differ
materially from those described in such  forward-looking  statements.  Among the
factors  that could cause actual  future  results to differ  materially  are the
risks and  uncertainties  discussed in this Quarterly Report and those described
from  time to time in the  Company's  other  filings  with  the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission.  While it is not  possible to identify  all  factors,  the
Company  continues  to face many  risks  and  uncertainties  including,  but not
limited to,  future  supply and demand for the  Company's  products,  changes in
costs of raw materials and other operating costs (such as energy costs), general
global economic and political conditions,  demand for office furniture,  service
industry  employment levels,  the possibility of labor disruptions,  competitive
products and prices,  substitute products,  customer and competitor  strategies,
the  introduction  of trade  barriers,  the  impact of  pricing  and  production
decisions,  fluctuations  in the  value of the  U.S.  dollar  relative  to other
currencies (such as the euro, Canadian dollar and New Taiwan dollar),  potential
difficulties in integrating  completed  acquisitions,  uncertainties  associated
with new product  development,  environmental  matters (such as those  requiring
emission and discharge  standards for existing and new  facilities),  government
regulations  and possible  changes  therein,  possible  future  litigation,  the
ability of the Company to renew or obtain credit  facilities and other risks and
uncertainties.   Should  one  or  more  of  these  risks   materialize  (or  the
consequences of such a development worsen), or should the underlying assumptions
prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from those forecasted or
expected.  The Company  disclaims any intention or obligation to update publicly
or revise such statements whether as a result of new information,  future events
or otherwise.

Exhibit 10.1

INTERCORPORATE SERVICES AGREEMENT

This INTERCORPORATE  SERVICES AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"),  effective as of
January 1, 2002,  amends and supersedes the  Intercorporate  Services  Agreement
effective  as of  January  1,  2001  between  CONTRAN  CORPORATION,  a  Delaware
corporation  ("Contran"),  and COMPX INTERNATIONAL INC., a Delaware  corporation
("Recipient").

Recitals

A.  Employees  and  agents of Contran  and  affiliates  of Contran  perform
management,  financial and administrative functions for Recipient without direct
compensation from Recipient.

B. Recipient does not separately  maintain the full internal  capability to
perform all necessary  management,  financial and administrative  functions that
Recipient requires.

C. The cost of maintaining the additional  personnel by Recipient necessary
to perform the functions provided for by this Agreement would exceed the fee set
forth in Section 3 of this Agreement and that the terms of this Agreement are no
less favorable to Recipient than could  otherwise be obtained from a third party
for comparable services.

D. Recipient  desires to continue  receiving the management,  financial and
administrative  services presently provided by Contran and affiliates of Contran
and Contran is willing to continue to provide such  services  under the terms of
this Agreement.

Agreement

For  and in  consideration  of the  mutual  premises,  representations  and
covenants herein contained, the parties hereto mutually agree as follows:

Section 1.  Services to be Provided.  Contran  agrees to make  available to
Recipient the following services (the "Services") to be rendered by the internal
staff of Contran and affiliates of Contran:

(a) Consultation in the development and  implementation of Recipient's
corporate business strategies, plans and objectives;

(b)  Consultation  in management and conduct of corporate  affairs and
corporate governance consistent with the charter and bylaws of Recipient;

(c)  Consultation  in maintenance  of financial  records and controls,
including  preparation  and review of  periodic  financial  statements  and
reports to be filed with public and regulatory  entities and those required
to be prepared for financial  institutions  or pursuant to  indentures  and
credit agreements;

(d)  Consultation  in  cash  management  and  in  arranging  financing
necessary to implement the business plans of Recipient;

(e)  Consultation  in tax  management and  administration,  including,
without limitation,  preparation and filing of tax returns,  tax reporting,
examinations by government authorities and tax planning;

(f) Consultation  with respect to employee benefit plans and incentive
compensation arrangements;

(g) Certain  administration  and  management  services with respect to
Recipient's insurance and risk management needs, including:

(i) management of claims (including  insured and self-insured  workers
compensation and liability claims);

(ii) budgeting and related activities;

(iii) coordination of property loss control program; and

(iv)  administration of Recipient's  insurance program,  excluding all
employee benefit and welfare related programs; and

(h) Such other  services as may be  requested  by  Recipient or deemed
necessary and proper from time to time.

This  Agreement  does not apply to, and the Services  provided for herein do not
include,  any services  that Glenn R. Simmons or Steven L. Watson may provide to
Recipient  in their roles as members of  Recipient's  board of  directors or any
other activity related to such board of directors.

Section 2. Miscellaneous  Services.  It is the intent of the parties hereto
that Contran provide only the Services requested by Recipient in connection with
routine  management,  financial  and  administrative  functions  related  to the
ongoing  operations  of  Recipient  and not with  respect to  special  projects,
including  corporate  investments,  acquisitions and  divestitures.  The parties
hereto  contemplate that the Services rendered in connection with the conduct of
Recipient's  business  will  be on a scale  compared  to  that  existing  on the
effective  date of this  Agreement,  adjusted for internal  corporate  growth or
contraction, but not for major corporate acquisitions or divestitures,  and that
adjustments  may be required to the terms of this Agreement in the event of such
major corporate acquisitions,  divestitures or special projects.  Recipient will
continue to bear all other costs required for outside  services  including,  but
not  limited  to,  the  outside  services  of  attorneys,   auditors,  trustees,
consultants, transfer agents and registrars, and it is expressly understood that
Contran  assumes no  liability  for any  expenses or  services  other than those
stated in Section 1. In addition to the fee paid to Contran by Recipient for the
Services provided pursuant to this Agreement,  Recipient will pay to Contran the
amount of out-of-pocket costs incurred by Contran in rendering such Services.

Section 3. Fee for Services.  Recipient  agrees to pay to Contran  $414,500
quarterly on the first business day of each quarter, commencing as of January 1,
2002, pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 4. Original  Term.  Subject to the  provisions of Section 5 hereof,
the original  term of this  Agreement  shall be from January 1, 2002 to December
31, 2002.

Section  5.   Extensions.   This   Agreement   shall  be   extended   on  a
quarter-to-quarter  basis  after the  expiration  of its  original  term  unless
written  notification  is given by  Contran  or  Recipient  thirty  (30) days in
advance of the first day of each  successive  quarter or unless it is superseded
by a subsequent written agreement of the parties hereto.

Section 6.  Limitation of Liability.  In providing its Services  hereunder,
Contran  shall  have a duty  to act,  and to  cause  its  agents  to  act,  in a
reasonably  prudent  manner,  but  neither  Contran nor any  officer,  director,
employee or agent of Contran or its affiliates  shall be liable to Recipient for
any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss incurred by Recipient in
connection  with the  matter  to which  this  Agreement  relates,  except a loss
resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of
Contran.

Section  7.  Indemnification  of  Contran  by  Recipient.  Recipient  shall
indemnify  and hold  harmless  Contran,  its  affiliates  and  their  respective
officers,  directors  and  employees  from  and  against  any  and  all  losses,
liabilities,  claims, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and
other  expenses of  litigation)  to which  Contran or any such person may become
subject arising out of the Services provided by Contran to Recipient  hereunder,
provided that such indemnity  shall not protect any person against any liability
to  which  such  person  would   otherwise  be  subject  by  reason  of  willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of such person.

Section 8. Confidentiality. Except as otherwise required by applicable law,
each of the parties agrees that it will maintain in confidence all  confidential
information  regarding  the  other  party  supplied  to it in the  course of the
performance of this Agreement.

Section 9.  Further  Assurances.  Each of the parties  will make,  execute,
acknowledge and deliver such other instruments and documents,  and take all such
other actions,  as the other party may reasonably  request and as may reasonably
be required in order to effectuate  the purposes of this  Agreement and to carry
out the terms hereof.

Section 10. Notices.  All communications  hereunder shall be in writing and
shall be addressed,  if intended for Contran,  to Three Lincoln Centre, 5430 LBJ
Freeway, Suite 1700, Dallas, Texas 75240,  Attention:  President,  or such other
address as it shall have furnished to Recipient in writing,  and if intended for
Recipient,  to Three Lincoln Centre, 5430 LBJ Freeway, Suite 1700, Dallas, Texas
75240, Attention: President, or such other address as it shall have furnished to
Contran in writing.

Section 11. Amendment and Modification. Neither this Agreement nor any term
hereof may be changed, waived,  discharged or terminated other than by agreement
in writing signed by the parties hereto.

Section 12.  Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement  shall be binding upon
and  inure  to the  benefit  of  Contran  and  Recipient  and  their  respective
successors  and assigns,  except that neither  party may assign its rights under
this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party.

Section  13.  Governing  Law.  This  Agreement  shall be  governed  by, and
construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the state of Texas.

IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the parties  hereto have caused this  Agreement to be
duly executed and delivered as of the date first above written.
