May 14, 1975 To the Board of Trustees of The Stelle Group, As proposers of the amendment to The Stelle Group By-Laws to be voted on at the May 24, 1975 Special Meeting, we wish to state our awareness of two amendment procedures: the first as outlined in Illinois state law (Illinois Revised Statutes, 1973, Paragraph 163(a) 12 , Sections 12 and 13) and in accord with Article VIII-Amendments of The Stelle Group By-Laws; and the second based on Illinois state law and outlined in Article II., Section 6 of The Stelle Group By-Laws, also in accord with Article VIII-Amendments of The Stelle Group By-Laws. Inasmuch as Article II., Section 6 is not restrictive as to procedure (“Any member of the organization may propose changes in the by-laws, and the board of trustees must grant hearing to all such proposals...”), we have opted to follow the first amendment procedure. Legal counsel assures us that we are well within our rights in this matter. We recognize that the trustees of The Stelle Group have a duty to hear all such proposals and to consider their merits. It is out of courtesy to you in the performance of this duty that we wish at this time to express our willingness to appear at a private meeting with the trustees to present our proposed amendment, provided only that the time be set so that the private meeting shall conclude prior to 12 noon Saturday, May 17, 1975; this will insure its independence of any conclusions which might be reached at the meeting to be held in Factory I at 8 pm on the same day. This private meeting shall be simply a preview and shall not be construed as in lieu or in place of the Special Meeting on May 24, 1975. A written request for such a private meeting by the trustees of The Stelle Group may be delivered in person to any one of the individuals whose signatures appear below. We intend at all times to legally proceed under the terms of Illinois state law and The Stelle Group By-Laws. Sincerely, David L. Livingston Alfred A. Davis Walter W. Cox Gary R.
