AMENDMENT NO. 74
TO SCHEDULE 13D

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 74 to this Statement on Schedule 13D (this “Statement”) shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Amendment No. 71 to this Statement.  This Statement relates to the common stock, par value $0.125 per share (the “Shares”), of NL Industries, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“NL”).  Items 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of this Statement are hereby amended as set forth below.  The Reporting Persons (as defined below) are filing this amendment as a result of the death of Serena Simmons Connelly on April 22, 2020.

Item 2.
Identity and Background.

Item 2 is amended and supplemented as follows.

(a) The following entities or persons are filing this Statement (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”):

Valhi, Inc. (“Valhi”) as a direct holder of Shares;

Dixie Rice Agricultural L.L.C. (“Dixie Rice”) and Contran Corporation (“Contran”) by virtue of their direct and indirect, respectively, ownership of Valhi;

Lisa K. Simmons by virtue of her ownership of outstanding voting stock of Contran, her position as chair of the Contran board of directors (the “Contran Board”) and as a party to the Contran Stockholders Agreement (as defined and described below); and

the Harold C. Simmons Family Trust No. 2 (the “Family Trust”), by virtue of its ownership of outstanding voting stock of Contran.

By signing this Statement, each Reporting Person agrees that this Statement is filed on its or her behalf.

The following is a description of the relationships among the Reporting Persons.

Prior to April 22, 2020, a majority of Contran’s outstanding voting stock was held directly by Ms. Simmons and Serena Simmons Connelly and various family trusts established for the benefit of Ms. Simmons and Ms. Connelly and their children and for which Ms. Simmons or Ms. Connelly, as applicable, serves as trustee (collectively, the “Other Trusts”).  The remainder of Contran’s outstanding voting stock was held by the Family Trust, for which Tolleson Private Bank serves as trustee (the “Trustee”).

Following the death of Ms. Connelly on April 22, 2020, Ms. Simmons and the Family Trust continue to directly hold their shares of Contran voting stock.  Under the terms of the Contran Corporation Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement dated September 9, 2019 (the “Contran Stockholders Agreement”), and with respect to the shares of Contran voting stock held directly by Ms. Connelly at the time of her death (the “Connelly Direct Shares”), the independent executor of the estate of Ms. Connelly (prior to the completion of the probate of such estate) and the legatee of the Connelly Direct Shares (following completion of the probate of such estate) is required to vote the Connelly Direct Shares in the same manner as Ms. Simmons.  Also under the terms of the Contran Stockholders Agreement, and with respect to the shares of Contran voting stock held by the Other Trusts for which Ms. Connelly previously served as trustee and for which her successor trustee is someone other than Ms. Simmons (the “Connelly Indirect Shares”), such successor trustee is also required to vote the Connelly Indirect Shares in the same manner as Ms. Simmons.  Such voting rights of Ms. Simmons with respect to the Connelly Direct Shares and the Connelly Indirect Shares last through April 22, 2030 and are personal to Ms. Simmons.  Such independent executor, legatee and successor trustee, as applicable, has the power to direct the disposition of the Connelly Direct Shares and the Connelly Indirect Shares, as applicable, subject to certain right-of-first-refusal limitations and restrictions as set forth in the Contran Stockholders Agreement.


Ms. Simmons serves as chair of the Contran Board, and one other member of Contran management also serves on the Contran Board.  The Trustee of the Family Trust has the power to vote the shares of Contran stock held by the Family Trust and to direct the disposition of such shares subject to certain right-of-first-refusal limitations and restrictions as set forth in the Contran Stockholders Agreement.  Ms. Simmons has the power to vote the shares of Contran stock she holds directly or indirectly (for the shares of Contran stock held by the Other Trusts for which she serves as trustee), and by virtue of the Contran Stockholders Agreement has the power to vote the Connelly Direct Shares and the Connelly Indirect Shares.  Ms. Simmons has the power to direct the disposition of the shares of Contran stock she holds directly or indirectly (for the shares of Contran stock held by the Other Trusts for which she serves as trustee) subject to certain right-of-first-refusal limitations and restrictions as set forth in the Contran Stockholders Agreement.

Contran is the holder of the sole membership interest of Dixie Rice and may be deemed to control Dixie Rice.

Ms. Simmons and the Family Trust directly hold, or are related to the following persons or entities that directly hold, the following percentages of the 48,755,734 Shares outstanding as of the close of business on April 27, 2020 based on information from NL (the “Outstanding Shares”):

Valhi 
82.8%
Kronos Worldwide (“Kronos Worldwide”) 
Less than 1%

Together, Valhi and Kronos Worldwide may be deemed to control NL.

Ms. Simmons and the Family Trust directly hold, or are related to the following persons or entities that directly hold, the following percentages of the outstanding shares of Kronos Worldwide common stock:

Valhi 
50.2%
NLKW Holding LLC (“NLKW”) 
30.5%
Contran 
Less than 1%

Together, Valhi, NL (and its wholly owned subsidiary NLKW) and Contran may be deemed to control Kronos Worldwide.


Ms. Simmons and the Family Trust directly hold, or are related to the following persons or entities that directly hold, the following percentages of the outstanding shares of Valhi common stock:

Dixie Rice 
91.5%

Dixie Rice may be deemed to control Valhi.

NL (including a wholly owned subsidiary of NL) and Kronos Worldwide own 14,372,970 shares and 1,724,916 shares, respectively, of Valhi common stock.  As already stated, Valhi is the direct holder of approximately 82.8% of the outstanding shares of common stock of NL and 50.2% of the outstanding shares of Kronos Worldwide common stock.  As a result of Valhi’s direct and indirect ownership of NL and Kronos Worldwide and pursuant to Delaware law and Section 13(d)(4) of the Exchange Act, Valhi treats the shares of Valhi common stock that NL and Kronos Worldwide own as treasury stock for voting purposes.  For the purposes of this statement, such shares of Valhi common stock that NL and Kronos Worldwide hold are not deemed outstanding.

By virtue of the stock ownership of each of Kronos Worldwide, NL, Valhi, Dixie Rice and Contran, Ms. Simmons being a beneficiary of the Family Trust, the direct holdings of Contran voting stock by Ms. Simmons, the voting rights conferred to Ms. Simmons by the Contran Stockholders Agreement with respect to the Connelly Direct Shares and the Connelly Indirect Shares, the position of chair of the Contran Board by Ms. Simmons, and the Family Trust’s ownership of Contran voting stock, in each case as described above, (a) Ms. Simmons and the Family Trust (and the Trustee, in its capacity as trustee of the Family Trust) may be deemed to control Contran, Dixie Rice, Valhi, NL and Kronos Worldwide and (b) Ms. Simmons, the Family Trust (and the Trustee, in its capacity as trustee of the Family Trust), Contran, Dixie Rice, Valhi, NL and Kronos Worldwide may be deemed to possess indirect beneficial ownership of, and a pecuniary interest in, shares of common stock directly held by such entities, including any Shares.  However, Ms. Simmons and the Family Trust (and the Trustee) each disclaims 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 their direct beneficial ownership, if any, in shares of such entities.

Certain information concerning the directors and executive officers of Valhi, Dixie Rice and Contran is set forth on Schedule B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

In addition to the activities engaged in through Kronos Worldwide and NL, Valhi is engaged through certain of its subsidiaries in real estate management and development.

In addition to activities engaged in through Valhi and the other companies it may be deemed to control, as described above, Dixie Rice is principally engaged in holding the securities described above as directly held by Dixie Rice and in land management and oil and gas activities.

Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is amended and supplemented as follows.

Depending upon their evaluation of NL’s business and prospects, and upon future developments (including, but not limited to, performance of the Shares in the market, availability of funds, alternative uses of funds, and money, stock market and general economic conditions), any of the Reporting Persons or other entities that may be deemed to be related to Contran may from time to time purchase Shares, and any of the Reporting Persons or other entities that may be deemed to be related to Contran may from time to time dispose of all or a portion of the Shares held by such person, or cease buying or selling Shares.  Any such additional purchases or sales of Shares may be in open market or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

Whereas, this Agreement provides for certain rights of first refusal for LKS, SSC, Contran, Trust 2 Trustee and Permitted Transferees, as hereinafter defined, provided that in each instance, such rights may be exercised only to purchase the full amount of Voting Stock being offered by the proposed transferor; and

1

Whereas, in the event of transfers of Voting Stock other than transfers between two or more Permitted Transferees, as hereinafter defined, and transfers between one or more Permitted Transferees and Trust 2 Trustee , the right of first refusal obligations shall continue to apply to the Voting Stock acquired by such Third Party Transferees, as hereinafter defined, for the continuing benefit of LKS, SSC, Contran, Trust 2 Trustee and Permitted Transferees; and
Whereas, a Third Party Transferee will be subject to the right of first refusal obligations of this Agreement but will not be afforded rights of first refusal; and
Whereas, this Agreement provides for certain voting requirements upon the death of the first to die of LKS and SSC (the “Deceased Sister”), granting voting rights to the survivor of LKS and SSC (the “Surviving Sister”), which voting requirements will apply to Permitted Holders, as hereinafter defined, but will not apply to Trust 2 Trustee or any Third Party Transferee; and

Whereas, the voting rights of the Surviving Sister will expire on the earlier of (a) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the death of the Deceased Sister, (b) the death of the Surviving Sister, or (c) the termination of this Agreement as set forth in Section 5; and
Whereas, this Agreement may be amended or terminated only as set forth under Section 5(e) set forth herein.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises, representations, warranties and covenants set forth below, each Holder, other holders who may join in the future, Contran and Trust 2 Trustee hereby agree as follows:
Agreement
Section 1.
Right of First Refusal Upon Proposed Transfer by a Holder.
(a)
By the Other Holder. In the event that a Holder desires at any time to sell, assign, transfer, exchange, donate, convey or otherwise dispose of, including by inter vivos or testamentary gift or by the laws of descent and distribution (each a “Transfer”), other than to Trust 2 Trustee or a Permitted Transferee, as hereinafter defined, all or any part of such Holder's Voting Stock, the Holder first shall give written notice (the “Holder's Written Notice”) to each of the other Holder (the “Other Holder”), Contran, Trust 2 Trustee and each holder of Voting Stock (other than a Holder) who is a Permitted Transferee (a “Permitted Holder”), of such Holder's intention to make such Transfer. Such notice shall state the number of shares of Voting Stock that the Holder proposes to Transfer (the “Offered Shares”), the price and the terms at which the proposed Transfer is to be made and the name and address of the proposed transferee (“Transferee”). At any time within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice (the “Other Holder's Exercise Period”), the Other Holder may, but is not obligated to, elect to purchase all or any portion of the Offered Shares on terms substantially equivalent to the terms offered by the proposed Transferee and specified in the Holder's Written Notice and at a price per share equal to the price per share offered by the proposed Transferee and specified in the notice. In the event the proposed Transfer is for no consideration, including without limitation such as with respect to a charitable donation, the value per share set forth in the most recent third party valuation of the Voting Stock performed at the request of Contran, including applicable discounts contained in the valuation, shall be used as the price per share (the “Appraised Value”).
2




(i)
Purchase of All Offered Shares by the Other Holder. If the Other Holder desires to purchase all of the Offered Shares, the Other Holder shall exercise the right to purchase by mailing or delivering written notice to each of the Holder, Contran, Trust 2 Trustee and each Permitted Holder, proposing the Transfer within the Other Holder's Exercise Period. If the Other Holder elects to exercise its purchase rights under this Section 1 to purchase all of the Offered Shares, the closing for the purchase shall take place within fifteen (15) days after the delivery by the Other Holder of its written notice of exercise to the Holder proposing the Transfer (the “Other Holder's Closing Period”).
(ii)
Purchase of Less Than All Offered Shares by the Other Holder. If the Other Holder desires to purchase less than all of the Offered Shares, the Other Holder will mail or deliver written notice to each of the Holder, Contran, Trust 2 Trustee and each Permitted Holder within the Other Holder's Exercise Period, advising that the Other Holder desires to purchase only a designated portion of the Offered Shares.
(iii)
Purchase of None of the Offered Shares by the Other Holder. If the Other Holder does not elect to purchase any of the Offered Shares, the Other Holder will so advise the Holder, Contran, Trust 2 Trustee and each Permitted Holder by mailing or delivering written notice to each of the Holder, Contran, Trust 2 Trustee and each Permitted Holder within the Other Holders' Exercise Period.
(b)
By Contran. In the event that the Other Holder does not timely elect to exercise the purchase right for all of the Offered Shares (such Offered Shares not elected to be purchased by the Other Holder, the “Remaining Shares for Contran”), or in the event that the closing with respect thereto does not occur within the Other Holder's Closing Period due to no fault of the Holder, then at any time within thirty (30) days after the later of (i) the Other Holder's election not to exercise the purchase right for all of the Offered Shares or (ii) the expiration of the Other Holder's Closing Period with no closing due to no fault of the Holder (such later date, the “Contran Exercise Period”), Contran may, but is not obligated to, elect to purchase all or any portion of the Remaining Shares for Contran on terms substantially equivalent to the terms offered by the proposed Transferee and specified in the Holder's Written Notice and at a price per share equal to the price offered by the proposed Transferee and specified in the Holder's Written Notice. In the event the proposed Transfer is for no consideration, including without limitation such as with respect to a charitable donation, the Appraised Value shall be used as the price per share.
(i)
Purchase by Contran of All Remaining Shares for Contran. If Contran elects to purchase all of the Remaining Shares for Contran, Contran shall exercise this right by mailing or delivering written notice to each of the Holder, the Other Holder, Trust 2 Trustee and each Permitted Holder within the Contran Exercise Period. If Contran elects to exercise its purchase rights under this Section 1(b), the closing for the purchase shall take place within fifteen (15) days after the delivery by Contran of its written notice of exercise to the Holder (the “Contran Closing Period”). If the Other Holder elected to purchase some but not all Offered Shares, the Other Holder will purchase the shares for which the Other Holder is committed at the closing time and place (the “Contran Closing”) selected by Contran during the Contran Closing Period.
3



(ii)
Purchase by Contran of Less Than All Remaining Shares for Contran. If Contran desires to purchase less than all of the Remaining Shares for Contran, Contran will mail or deliver written notice to each of the Holder, the Other Holder, Trust 2 Trustee and each Permitted Holder within the Contran Exercise Period, advising that Contran desires to purchase only a designated portion of the Remaining Shares for Contran.
(iii)
Purchase of None of the Remaining Shares for Contran. If Contran does not elect to purchase any of the Remaining Shares for Contran, Contran will so advise the Holder, the Other Holder, Trust 2 Trustee and each Permitted Holder by mailing or delivering written notice to each of the Holder, the Other Holder, Trust 2 Trustee and each Permitted Holder within the Contran Exercise Period.
(c)
By Trust 2 Trustee and the Permitted Holders. In the event that the Other Holder and Contran do not timely elect to exercise the purchase right for all of the Offered Shares (such Offered Shares not elected to be purchased by the Other Holder and Contran, the “Remaining Shares for Trust 2 Trustee and Permitted Holders”), or in the event that the Contran Closing does not occur during the Contran Closing Period due to no fault of the Holder, then at any time within thirty (30) days after the later of (i) Contran's election not to purchase all of the Remaining Shares for Contran or (ii) the expiration of the Contran Closing Period with no closing due to no fault of the Holder (such later date, the “Trust 2 Trustee and Permitted Holders Exercise Period”), Trust 2 Trustee and each Permitted Holder may, but are not obligated to, elect to purchase all or any portion of Trust 2 Trustee’s and such Permitted Holder's pro rata portion, based upon Trust 2 Trustee’s and such Permitted Holder's percentage ownership of Voting Stock as a percentage of all Voting Stock held by Trust 2 Trustee and all Permitted Holders, of the Remaining Shares for Trust 2 Trustee and Permitted Holders, on terms substantially equivalent to the terms offered by the proposed Transferee and specified in the Holder's Written Notice and at a price per share equal to the price offered by the proposed Transferee and specified in the Holder's Written Notice. In the event the proposed Transfer is for no consideration, including without limitation such as with respect to a charitable donation, the Appraised Value shall be used as the price per share.  Each of Trust 2 Trustee and each Permitted Holder also may designate if they elect to purchase any or all of any Remaining Shares for Trust 2 Trustee and Permitted Holders not elected for purchase by Trust 2 Trustee and each Permitted Holder, indicating a limit on such additional shares if so desired, and recognizing that its rights to any such additional shares are limited to its pro rata portion based on the total number of such additional shares for which such an indication has been made.

(i)
Notice of Trust 2 Trustee and Each Permitted Holder. Trust 2 Trustee and each Permitted Holder will advise the Holder, the Other Holder, Contran, Trust 2 Trustee and each other Permitted Holder as to its election to participate, and if so, in what amounts, by written notice mailed or delivered to each of the Holder, the Other Holder, Contran, Trust 2 Trustee and each other Permitted Holder within the Trust 2 Trustee and Permitted Holders Exercise Period. If Trust 2 Trustee or any Permitted Holder fails to respond during the Trust 2 Trustee and Permitted Holders Exercise Period, such party will lose its respective right to participate in the right of first refusal for such proposed Transfer. Contran will be responsible for determining the number of shares properly elected for purchase by Trust 2 Trustee and each Permitted Holder.
4




(ii)
Final Right of Contran and Other Holder. In the event that all Remaining Shares for Trust 2 Trustee and Permitted Holders have not been elected for purchase by the expiration of the Trust 2 Trustee and Permitted Holders Exercise Period, then Contran and the Other Holder will have an additional period of fifteen (15) days to determine, in communication with one another, whether either or both desire to purchase the balance of the Remaining Shares for Trust 2 Trustee and Permitted Holders, which decision must be communicated to each of the Holder, the Other Holder, Contran, Trust 2 Trustee and all Permitted Holders in writing within such 15-day period.

(iii)
Closing. Should the combined shares elected to be purchased by the Other Holder, Contran, Trust 2 Trustee and Permitted Holders comprise all Offered Shares, such parties then must purchase the shares for which they respectively committed within fifteen (15) days of the determination that all Offered Shares will be purchased, with Contran to designate the time and place for such closing.
(d)
Right to Transfer. In the event that the aggregate of the Other Holder, Contran, Trust 2 Trustee and/or the Permitted Holders elections to exercise the purchase right is less than all of the Offered Shares in a proposed Transfer, or in the event that none of the closings set forth in the series of rights of first refusal timely occurs through no fault of the Holder proposing to Transfer, then the Holder proposing to Transfer may, within sixty (60) days thereafter, complete such Transfer of the Offered Shares to the proposed Transferee at the same price and on the same terms as specified in the Holder's Written Notice, provided that such Transfer is effected in accordance with applicable securities laws and otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and further provided that such Transferee must join this Agreement, committing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. For clarity and emphasis, the Transferee will not thereby become either a Permitted Transferee or a Permitted Holder. And while such Transferee will be obligated to comply with the terms of this Agreement, such Transferee will not be a beneficiary of the rights established by this Agreement.
(e)
Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the rights of first refusal contained in this Section 1 or in Section 2 shall not apply to any Transfer between two or more Permitted Transferees, as hereinafter defined, or any Transfer between one or more Permitted Transferees and Trust 2 Trustee. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Permitted Transferee” shall mean any of the following:
(i)
Family Member. LKS, SSC or a spouse or lineal descendant (whether natural or legally adopted) of either of LKS or SSC (each a “Family Member”); or
5



(ii)
Family Trust. A trust for the benefit of LKS or SSC or for the benefit of a spouse or lineal descendant (whether natural or legally adopted) of either LKS or SSC (a “Family Trust”); or
(iii)
Family Entities. Any entity for which all equity interests are owned, directly or indirectly, entirely by one or more Family Members and/or one or more Family Trusts (a “Family Entity”), recognizing that more than one Family Entity could be involved in any Family Entity ownership structure.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, neither Trust 2 Trustee nor Trust 2 shall be included in the definition of a “Permitted Transferee.”
With respect to each such Transfer between two or more Permitted Transferees or between one or more Permitted Transferee and Trust 2 Trustee, and unless such Permitted Transferee is already a party to this Agreement, as a condition of such Transfer Contran shall cause the Permitted Transferee to enter into a joinder agreement to this Agreement providing that all Voting Stock Transferred to such Permitted Transferee shall continue to be subject to all provisions of this Agreement.
For purposes of clarification, the appointment of a successor trustee who is not a Permitted Transferee (a “Successor Trustee”) under any of the trusts listed on Appendix A, or under a Family Trust which constitutes a Permitted Transferee, shall not trigger the right of first refusal contained in this Section 1, but the Voting Stock held in such trust and the Successor Trustee shall remain subject to all provisions of this Agreement.  Each such Successor Trustee (including a Successor Trustee to Trust 2 Trustee) shall enter into a joinder agreement to this Agreement providing that all Voting Stock held by such Successor Trustee shall continue to be subject to all provisions of this Agreement.  For clarity, any Voting Stock held by Trust 2 Trustee (and any Successor Trustee to Trust 2 Trustee) shall not be subject to any of the provisions of Section 3 hereof.
(f)
Transfers Upon Death. Upon the death of LKS, SSC or a Permitted Holder, any Transfer of Voting Stock, whether testamentary or by the laws of descent and distribution, to a party other than Trust 2 Trustee or a Permitted Transferee shall be subject to the right of first refusals contained in Section 1 and in Section 2. The price per share for such Voting Stock shall be the Appraised Value. The notice requirements and closing periods described in Sections 1(a), 1(b), 1(c) and 2(a), 2(b), 2(c) hereof shall begin upon the date that the applicable will is probated, or in the case of intestacy, upon a final order by the probate court regarding the distribution of the assets of the decedent's estate.
(g)
Continuation of Rights and Obligations.
(i)
Rights of Section 1(a) Personal. The right of first refusal described in Section 1(a) is personal to, and non-transferable by, each of LKS and SSC in their respective capacities as Holders and shall terminate with respect to LKS upon her death and with respect to SSC upon her death.
6



(ii)
Holders, Trust 2 Trustee and Permitted Holders Bound by All Terms. All Voting Stock held by a Holder, Trust 2 Trustee or a Permitted Holder, regardless of how such Voting Stock was acquired, shall remain subject to all provisions of this Agreement until this Agreement terminates pursuant to Section 5; provided, however, that Trust 2 Trustee and the Voting Stock held by Trust 2 Trustee shall not be subject to any of the provisions of Section 3 hereof.
(iii)
Third Party Transferees Bound by Sections 1 and 2. Any Voting Stock that is Transferred in compliance with Section 1 hereof to a Transferee other than Trust 2 Trustee or a Permitted Transferee (a “Third Party Transferee”), including Voting Stock transferred upon death as described in Section 1(f), shall remain subject to the obligations placed upon such Third Party Transferees as set forth in Sections 1 and 2, until this Agreement terminates pursuant to Section 5.
Section 2.
Right of First Refusal Upon Proposed Transfer by Trust 2 Trustee, a Permitted Holder or a Third Party Transferee.
In the event that Trust 2 Trustee, any Permitted Holder or a Third Party Transferor (any, in this context, a “Proposed Transferor”) at any time desires to transfer Voting Stock to a Transferee other than Trust 2 Trustee or a Permitted Transferee and the provisions of Section 1(a) are not applicable to such holder, then such Proposed Transferor shall give written notice to each of each Holder, Contran, Trust 2 Trustee and each Permitted Holder of such holder's intention to make such Transfer (the “Proposed Transferor's Written Notice”). Such notice shall state the number of offered shares (the “Section 2 Offered Shares”), the price and terms at which the proposed Transfer is to be made and the name and address of the proposed Transferee.
(a)
By the Holders. At any time within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice (the “Section 2 Holders’ Exercise Period”), each Holder may, but is not obligated to, elect to purchase all or any portion of her pro rata share of the Section 2 Offered Shares based upon the percentage she owns or controls of all Voting Shares owned or controlled jointly by both Holders, on terms substantially equivalent to the terms offered by the proposed Transferee and specified in the Proposed Transferor's Written Notice and at a price per share equal to the price per share offered by the proposed Transferee and specified in the notice. In the event the proposed Transfer is for no consideration, including without limitation such as with respect to a charitable donation, the value per share shall be the Appraised Value. Each Holder also may designate if such Holder elects to purchase any portion of the Section 2 Offered Shares not elected for purchase by the other Holder, indicating a limit on such additional shares if desired by such Holder.

(i)
Purchase of All Offered Shares by the Holders. If one or both of the Holders desire to purchase all of the Section 2 Offered Shares, the Holder or Holders shall exercise the right to purchase by mailing or delivering written notice to each of the Proposed Transferor, one another, Contran, Trust 2 Trustee and each Permitted Holder within the Section 2 Holders' Exercise Period. If the Holder or Holders elect to exercise such purchase rights under this Section 2(a) to purchase all of the Section 2 Offered Shares, the closing for the purchase shall take place within fifteen (15) days after the delivery by the Holder or Holders of her or their written notice of exercise to the Proposed Transferor (the “Section 2 Holders’ Closing Period”).

(ii)
Purchase of Less Than All Offered Shares by the Holders. If the Holder or Holders desire to purchase less than all of the Section 2 Offered Shares, the Holders will mail or deliver written notice to each of the Proposed Transferor, one another, Contran, Trust 2 Trustee and each Permitted Holder within the Section 2 Holders Exercise Period, advising that the Holder or Holders desire to purchase only a designated portion of the Section 2 Offered Shares.

(iii)
Purchase of None of the Offered Shares by the Holders.

In the event the proposed Transfer is for no consideration, including without limitation such as with respect to a charitable donation, the Appraised Value shall be used as the price per share.

(i)
Dividends. Trust 2 and each holder shall retain all rights to receive dividends and other distributions with respect to the Voting Stock held by them, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to impair or alter the rights of Trust 2 and holders to receive dividends and other distributions in respect of their Voting Stock prior to the termination of this Agreement.
(j)
Specific Performance.  Trust 2 Trustee and each holder hereby declares that it would be impossible to measure in money the damages that would accrue to all other holders by reason of Trust 2 Trustee’s or any holder's failure to perform any of its obligations imposed by this Agreement, and that Trust 2 Trustee and all other holders, as applicable, would be irreparably harmed. Therefore, Trust 2 Trustee and each holder acknowledges and agrees that Trust 2 Trustee and any injured holder, as applicable, shall be entitled to specific performance and/or injunctive relief without the posting of a bond or other security, in addition to whatever rights or remedies may exist in the injured party's favor, in any court of competent jurisdiction to force compliance with, or prevent any violation of, the terms of this Agreement. If Trust 2 Trustee or any holder, as applicable, shall institute any action or proceeding to enforce the terms of this Agreement, Trust 2 Trustee or the holder, as applicable, against whom such action or proceeding is brought hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, any claim or defense therein that the plaintiff has an adequate remedy at law. The injured Trust 2 Trustee or holder, as applicable, shall be entitled to seek recovery of all of its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in obtaining specific performance (including, without limitation, reasonably attorneys' fees).
