Mr. Edward A. Brennan

400 North Michigan Avenue

Suite 400

Chicago, IL 60611

 

Dear Ed:

 

You’ve elected to defer your retainer and meeting fees for calendar year 2003.

 

In June 1998, you and the Company entered into an agreement governing the fees
you had deferred through that date.  That agreement is attached.

 

I’m assuming you want to continue to defer your fees in accordance with the June
1998 letter.  If so, please sign below and return to me.  If you want another
agreement, please let me know the details and we’ll see what we can do.

 

Thank you for your cooperation and if there are questions, please let me know.

 

 

 

Very truly yours,

 

 

 

 

 

Charles D. MarLett

 

Corporate Secretary

 

Deferral of 2003 fees to be in accordance with June 2, 1998 letter:

 

 

AGREED:

/s/ Edward A. Brennan

 

 

Edward A. Brennan

 

P.S.                            I’m enclosing two originals - one to be returned
to me and the other for your files.

 

Attachment
