Exhibit 10.1

                        INTERCORPORATE SERVICES AGREEMENT

     This INTERCORPORATE  SERVICES AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"),  effective as of
January  1,  2003,  is  between  CONTRAN  CORPORATION,  a  Delaware  corporation
("Contran"),   and  TITANIUM  METALS   CORPORATION,   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 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,  upon request, the following services (the "Services") to be rendered
by the internal staff of Contran and affiliates of Contran:

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

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

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

<PAGE>

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

          (f) 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;

          (g) Certain  administration  and  management  services with respect to
     Recipient's real properties and interests; and

          (h) Such other  services as may be requested by Recipient 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  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  $65,750
quarterly on the first business day of each quarter, commencing as of January 1,
2003, pursuant to this Agreement.
