Dear Raye:

This letter will confirm our arrangement concerning brokerage transactions for The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation accounts with your firm (herein referred to as the Fund).

We have contracted with Merrill Lynch (The Citation Group), Able Noser Corp., Lynch, Jones & Ryan, Inc., and more recently Northern Trust Securities, Inc. (NTSI) to provide certain services for the Fund. Accordingly, we would like to allocate to any of the aforementioned brokers a minimum of 30% of the transactions in our account, consistent with your obligation to seek best execution of our orders. Commission charges should continue to be based on your normal negotiated rate schedule. As you can see, this represents an increase in the minimum of 5% per year. This amount is warranted due to the fact that NTSI has been added as a directed broker. NTSI has a top tier broker network which includes many of the brokers you already utilize on an ongoing basis.

To initiate transactions for the Fund, please have your traders inform their trading contacts at the time that trades for our account are to be credited to any of the above mentioned brokers which you choose for commission recapture.

We would appreciate a quarterly report of total commissions generated under this arrangement so that we may reconcile it with reports received from the various brokers. In addition, we receive a report from Able Noser Corp. which includes all of the Fund's trades against the universe of all the trades made by Able Noser (see enclosed copy of the first quarter results). Each security trade is compared with the volume weighted average price for the day of the trade. We use this to track how many trades are actually made through the these three brokers, as well as the effectiveness of those trades against the universe.

I would like to emphasize that we do not wish this arrangement to hamper your effectiveness in managing the Fund; we hope that these services will provide valuable benefits to the Fund.

If you have any questions regarding these trading arrangements, please contact the appropriate person on the attached contact list. Any other questions regarding this relationship should be directed to my attention.

Sincerely,

Michael W. Senske
