     As of April 15, 2000, the members of the Group beneficially owned an
aggregate of 3,659,645 shares of Common Stock, which includes (i) 738,941 shares
of the Company's Preferred Stock convertible on a share-for-share basis into

Offer is incorporated in the Statement by reference as Exhibit F-2. During March
1982, Federated acquired 632 shares of Preferred Stock on the open market for a
purchase price of $6,478 or $10.25 per share. During November 1982 and April
1983, Federated acquired an additional 50,000 and 10,204 shares of Preferred
Stock, for purchase prices of $660,000.00 and $121,682.70, respectively. Mr.
Hurwitz inherited 1,064 shares of Preferred Stock during April 1983. During May
1995, Federated acquired 4,524 shares of Preferred Stock on the open market for
a purchase price of $141,375 or $31.25 per share.

     The aggregate purchase price for the 1,580,106 shares of Common Stock
owned by the members of the Group prior to May 20, 1988 (including the purchase
price of shares of Common Stock that were exchanged for Preferred Stock pursuant
to the Exchange Offer) was $8,855,015, of which the following amounts related
to shares of Common Stock (including the shares of Common Stock that were
exchanged for Preferred Stock pursuant to the Exchange Offer) held by current
members of the Group named below:

     Member of Group                    Aggregate Purchase Price
     Federated                               $8,820,140
     Charles E. Hurwitz                          34,875

     3.     Item 4 of the Statement entitled "Purpose of the Transaction" is
            hereby amended as follows:

     The first paragraph of Item 4 is hereby deleted in its entirety and the
following four paragraphs are substituted therefor:

     This Statement is being filed by the Group primarily due to the increase
of its percentage ownership as the result of the receipt by Mr. Hurwitz of
256,808 shares of Common Stock.  The shares are subject to transfer and other
restrictions which generally lapse on the earlier of the 15th anniversary of
the grant of the shares, or the death or total disability of Mr. Hurwitz.  Such
shares were issued to Mr. Hurwitz on March 8, 2000. The agreement governing
the grant of the shares is incorporated herein by reference in this Statement
as Exhibit Y.

     This Statement also reflects changes in the composition of the Group, as
Messrs. Levin and Paulin no longer participate in the shared voting power in
the shares of Common Stock held by the group.  Furthermore, as of December 17,
1999, Federated, formerly a New York business trust, was reorganized as a
Texas corporation under the same name.  Also, as described in Item 6 of this
Statement, as part of the settlement of the Order (as defined herein), FDI
retained the right to purchase approximately 21,029 shares of Common Stock.

     On October 17, 1997, the Company, NL Industries, Inc., a New Jersey
corporation ("NL"), and NL's affiliate, The Combined Master Retirement Trust, a
Texas trust ("CMRT"), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Stock
Purchase Agreement"), an Escrow Agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") and certain
related agreements. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company
purchased 250,000 shares of Common Stock from NL and 1,027,250 shares of Common
Stock from CMRT (collectively, the "Repurchased Shares"). The purchase price was
$55 per share, with one-half of the $70,248,750.00 purchase price paid in cash
and the other half represented by one-year notes payable to the order of NL and
CMRT and bearing interest at 10% per annum. Such notes were secured by the
Common Stock being repurchased and were subsequently paid by the Company. The
foregoing is collectively referred to herein as the "Repurchase Transaction."
Copies of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Escrow Agreement and promissory notes
are incorporated herein by reference in this Statement as Exhibits S, T, U and
V, respectively. The foregoing description of the terms of the Repurchase
Transaction is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits.  In
addition, on March 23, 2000, the Company repurchased 344,000 shares of its
Common Stock.

     4.     Item 5 of the Statement entitled "Interest in Securities of the
            Issuer" is hereby amended and restated, in its entirety, as follows:

Item 5. Interest in Securities of Issuer.

     (a)-(b) As of April 15, 2000, the aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock deemed to be beneficially owned by members of the Group (inclusive of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock currently
held or options for Common Stock or Preferred Stock exercisable within sixty
(60) days of April 15, 2000) was 3,659,645<F1>, constituting approximately
47.5% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding.<F4>

     Each share of Common Stock has one vote per share and each share of
Preferred Stock generally has ten votes per share. Accordingly, as of April 15,
2000, the Group possesses approximately 71.5% of the combined voting power of
the Company's outstanding Common Stock and Preferred Stock.<F5> The following
table lists, as of April 15, 2000, (i) all shares of the Company's Common Stock
and Preferred Stock beneficially owned by each member of the Group, (ii) the
percentage of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock and Preferred
Stock held by each member of the Group, and (iii) the percentage of combined
voting power of the Company's outstanding Common Stock and Preferred Stock held
by each member of the Group:

     By reason of their positions and/or relationships with FDI, the 1992
Partnership, Investment Partnership or FDILLC, Mr. Hurwitz and Federated may be
deemed to possess shared voting and investment power with respect to the
Company's securities held by FDI and FDILLC. The filing of this Statement shall
not be construed as an admission that any individual member of the Group other
than Mr. Hurwitz or Federated indirectly beneficially owns, for purposes of
Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, any
of the Company's securities held by FDI or FDILLC.

     Except as indicated in this Item 5, no member of the Group or, to the best
knowledge of such members, any other person identified or referred to in Item 2
of this Statement, owns beneficially or has a right to acquire beneficial
ownership of any shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock.

     (c) To the best knowledge of the members of the Group, except as otherwise

     The following paragraph is added as the third paragraph of Item 6:

     The settlement contemplated by the Order was subsequently consummated, with
FDI exercising its option to cancel rights to purchase Common Stock ("Rights")
in lieu of paying $1.0 million in cash. Consequently, Rights relating to
approximately 50,145 shares of Common Stock were canceled, and FDI retained
Rights relating to approximately 21,029 shares of Common Stock.

     6.   Item 7 of the Statement entitled "Material to Be Filed as Exhibits"
          is hereby amended to add the following exhibit:
