the CDCT No. 2, (ii) retains dispositive power over such shares and (iii) may be
deemed the indirect beneficial owner of such shares.
The CMRT directly holds approximately 11.4% of the outstanding shares of

control the entities described above and (b) Mr. Simmons and certain of such
entities may be deemed to possess indirect beneficial ownership of the Shares
that are directly held by Valcor, TFMC or Valhi. However, Mr. Simmons disclaims

vested beneficial interest, if any, in the assets the CMRT or his interest as a
beneficiary of the CDCT No. 2.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect

Item 6 is amended as follows.
TIMET, TFMC and certain other subsidiaries of TIMET are parties to a $105.0
million revolving credit and letter of credit facility dated as of February 25,
2000, as amended and supplemented through June 2, 2004 (the "Congress
Facility"), with Congress Financial Corporation (Southwest)("Congress"). TFMC is
a guarantor of the Congress Facility. Borrowings under the Congress Facility
bear interest at the rate announced publicly from time to time by Congress as
its base rate plus 0.5% to 1.0% or at a rate of 2.0% to 2.5% over the London
interbank offered rate of interest ("LIBOR") (the interest rate depends on the
fixed charge coverage ratio as defined in the Congress Facility) and are due
February 25, 2006 or such extended maturity date as may be mutually agreed. The
Congress Facility requires TIMET's U.S. daily cash receipts to be used to reduce
outstanding borrowings, which may then be reborrowed, subject to the terms of
the agreement. TFMC's guarantee of the Congress Facility is collateralized by,
among other things, certain Class A Shares. On August 12, 2004, TFMC had pledged
all of its 2,212,820 Class A Shares under the Congress Facility. The foregoing
summary of the Congress Facility is qualified in its entirety by reference to
Exhibits 3 through 8 to this Statement, all of which are incorporated herein by
this reference.
