 DIRECTORS DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN 
  
 Section 3.2 of the 1999 CONSOL Energy Inc. Directors Deferred Compensation Plan is amended
and stated in its entirety to read as follows: 
  
 “3.2
Earnings. The Participant’s Account shall be adjusted by an amount equal to the amount that would have been earned (or lost) if the amounts deferred under the Plan had been invested in hypothetical investments designated by the Participant,
based on a list of hypothetical investments provided by the Administrator from time to time (such hypothetical earnings or losses shall be referred to as “Earnings”). The Participant shall designate the investments used to measure Earnings
from the list of authorized investments provided by the Administrator by completing the appropriate form or in such other manner as the Administrator may designate. The Participant may change such designations at such times as are permitted by the
Administrator, provided that the Participant shall be entitled to change such designations at least annually. Earnings shall be credited to the Participant’s Account quarterly and shall be credited to a Participant’s Account until all
payments with respect to such Account have been made under the Plan. Neither the Company nor the Administrator shall act as a guarantor, or be liable or otherwise responsible for the investment performance of the designated investments (including
any losses sustained by a Participant) with respect to a Participant’s Account.”EXHIBIT 10.1

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO
 SEPARATION AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT 

          
This AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SEPARATION AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (this
“Amendment”) is made as of July 27, 2005 by and between Texas
Industries, Inc. (“TXI”), a Delaware corporation, and Chaparral Steel
Company (“Chaparral”), a Delaware corporation, and, as of the date
hereof, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TXI. 

          WHEREAS, TXI and Chaparral have previously entered into the Separation and Distribution Agreement dated as of July 6, 2005 (the “Agreement”). 

          WHEREAS, the parties have determined that it would be advisable to amend Section 5.14(a) of the Agreement as provided herein. 

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 

1.       Definitions.  All terms not defined in this Amendment are used as defined in the Agreement.

2.       Amendment.  Section 5.14(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended and replaced in its entirety by the following:

(a)     Unexercisable Options.
  Each outstanding option to purchase TXI Common Stock that is held by a Chaparral Business Employee or a Chaparral director (a “TXI Option”) shall, to the extent such TXI Option is not exercisable as of the Cessation Time, be cancelled and replaced with a substitute option granted by Chaparral to purchase from Chaparral shares of Chaparral Common Stock (a “Substitute Option”).  The number of shares of Chaparral Common Stock subject to each Substitute Option and the exercise price per share will be calculated in accordance with the following formulas:

Number of Substitute Options Shares = Number of TXI Option Shares / (Post-Spin Chaparral Closing Price / Pre-Spin TXI Closing Price)

Exercise Price per Share = Post-Spin Chaparral Closing Price x Closing Price Ratio

where

“Number of Substitute Option Shares” is the number of shares of Chaparral Common Stock subject to a Substitute Option that will be granted by Chaparral to a Chaparral Business Employee or a Chaparral director.  Any fractional number will be rounded down to the next whole number.

“Number of TXI Option Shares” is the number of shares of TXI Common Stock subject to an unvested TXI Option held by a Chaparral Business Employee or a TXI director at the Cessation Time.

“Post-Spin Chaparral Closing Price” is the closing price of Chaparral Common Stock sold in the when-issued market on the Distribution Date.

“Pre-Spin TXI Closing Price” is the closing price of TXI Common Stock sold in the regular way (i.e., with due bills)  on the Distribution Date.

“Exercise Price per Share” is the exercise price per share of a Substitute Option that will be granted by Chaparral to a Chaparral Business Employee or a Chaparral director.  

“Closing Price Ratio” is the exercise price per share of an unvested TXI Option divided by the Pre-Spin TXI Closing Price.

Employment or service credited by TXI and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and Chaparral shall be taken into account in determining when such Substitute Options become exercisable, and when they terminate.  Except as otherwise provided herein, each substitute option shall be exercisable upon the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the related TXI Option immediately prior to the Cessation Time.

3.      Miscellaneous.  The Agreement, as expressly amended herein, remains in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF,
 the Parties have caused this Amendment to be executed by their authorized representatives as of the date first above written.
