In the event that the Directors become deadlocked or otherwise reach an impasse with respect to any aspect of the management or operation of the Company or the Company's assets, the Directors, by majority vote of the Directors then serving, shall select an unrelated third party to resolve the deadlock or other impasse, and the resolution of such unrelated third party shall be binding on the Directors and all of the Shareholders. To this end, the Shareholders agree to elect as Directors, as the case may be, only those individuals who are willing, if required, to implement the terms of this subparagraph 2.4.

(e) If the Company and the Family Shareholders do not together elect to purchase all of the Option Shares then the Outside Shareholder shall not be obligated to sell any of the Option Shares; provided, however, that the Company and the Family Shareholders shall continue to have the right to exercise a Call Option with respect to such Option Shares at anytime thereafter. (f) The Option Shares shall be allocated among the Company and the Family Groups, and within each Family Group among its members, in the manner provided in Section 4.5. 4.5 Allocation of Offered Shares and Option Shares. Offered Shares and Option Shares shall be allocated among the Company and the Family Shareholders pursuant to the terms of this Section 4.5. At the Closing, the Company and such Family Shareholders, as the case may be, shall be obligated to purchase the Offered Shares or Option Shares so allocated pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Shareholder shall be entitled to receive, or be obligated to purchase, more Shares than 9 such Shareholder has elected to purchase pursuant to Section 4.3(d) or 4.4(c), as the case may be. All Offered Shares or Option Shares shall be allocated as follows: (a) Allocation to Original Holders of Offered Shares. The Shares to be allocated shall first be allocated to the members of the Family Group (the "Original Holders") in which the Selling Shareholder is a Family Member who have elected to purchase any portion of such Shares, or if the Selling Shareholder is an Outside Shareholder, from which the Selling Shareholder, or his, her or its predecessors in interest, acquired such Shares. Such Shares shall be allocated in accordance with Section 4.5(d). (b) Allocation among Family Groups. Any Offered Shares or Option Shares not allocated pursuant to Section 4.5(a) (the "Remaining Shares") shall be allocated among the Family Groups (other than the Original Holders) which have Shareholders electing to purchase Offered Shares or Option Shares as follows: (i) If a Family Group has collectively elected to purchase a number of Offered Shares or Option Shares which is less than or equal to its Proportionate Part of the Remaining Shares, then such Family Group shall be allocated the number of Shares that its members have elected to purchase. (ii) If a Family Group has collectively elected to purchase a number of Offered Shares or Option Shares which is greater than its Proportionate Part of the Remaining Shares, then such Family Group shall, in the first instance, be allocated its Proportionate Part of the Remaining Shares. (iii) If additional Remaining Shares remain to be allocated after the application of subsections (i) and (ii) above (the "Outstanding Remaining Shares"), then each Family Group which has collectively elected to purchase a number of Offered Shares or Option Shares which exceeds its Proportionate Part shall be allocated an additional number of the Remaining Shares equal to the lesser of: (A) The number of Offered Shares or Option Shares which such Family Group elected to purchase but which were not allocated to it by reason of subsection (ii) above, or (B) That portion of the Outstanding Remaining Shares represented by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of Shares held by such Family Group (prior to such allocation), and the denominator of which is the number of Shares held by all Family Groups which have elected to purchase a number of Offered Shares or Option Shares in 10 excess of the number of those Offered Shares or Option Shares previously allocated to them under this Section 4.5. (iv) Any Shares remaining to be allocated after the application of subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) above, shall be allocated in accordance with the procedures described in subsection (iii) above until either (A) all of the Offered Shares or Option Shares which Family Shareholders, as the case may be, have elected to purchase have been allocated, or (B) there remains only one Family Group which has not been allocated all of the Shares it has elected to purchase, in which event all of the then unallocated Offered Shares or Option Shares shall be allocated to such Family Group up to the amount that such Family Group elected to purchase. (c) Allocation to the Company. The Company shall purchase any Offered Shares not allocated to a Family Group. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase any Option Shares not allocated to a Family Group. (d) Allocation of Shares among Family Group Members. Offered Shares or Option Shares allocated to a Family Group pursuant to Sections 4.5(a) or 4.5(b) shall be allocated among the Family Shareholders of such Family Group, as follows: (i) First, to the Original Shareholder of such Family Group in an amount equal to the number of Offered Shares or Option Shares such Original Shareholder elects to Purchase; and (ii) Second, to each Shareholder of such Family Group, other than the Original Shareholder, electing to purchase Offered Shares or Option Shares in an amount determined by multiplying (A) the number of Shares allocated to such Family Group and not purchased by the Original Shareholder, by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares subscribed for by such Shareholder, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Shares subscribed for by all Shareholders of a Family Group, other than the Original Shareholder. 5. General Restrictions/Covenants on Transfers. 5.1 Securities Law Restrictions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, but subject to express written waiver by the Company in the exercise of its good faith and reasonable judgment, no Shareholder shall Transfer any Shares without the registration of the Transfer of such Shares under the Act or until the Company shall have received such legal opinions or other assurances that such Transfer is exempt from the registration requirements under the Act and applicable state securities laws as the Company in its good faith and reasonable discretion deems appropriate in light of the facts and circumstances relating to such 11 proposed Transfer, together with such representations, warranties and indemnifications from the transferor and the transferee as the Company in its good faith and reasonable discretion deems appropriate to confirm the accuracy of the facts and circumstances that are the basis for any such opinion or other assurances and to protect the Company and the other Shareholders from any liability resulting from any such Transfer. 5.2 Legends. All certificates representing Shares now or hereafter owned by the Shareholders shall bear the following legend: THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ISSUED AND SOLD WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED ("FEDERAL ACT"), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, IN RELIANCE UPON CERTAIN EXEMPTIVE PROVISIONS OF SAID ACTS, INCLUDING PARAGRAPH (13) OF THE CODE SECTION 10-5-9 OF THE GEORGIA SECURITIES ACT OF 1973 (THE "GEORGIA ACT").

(b) At closing, the endorsed certificate or certificates evidencing the Shares to be sold, together with executed "stock power" transfer instruments, separate from such certificate(s), shall be respectively delivered by the seller to each purchaser against payment of such purchasers' portion of the Purchase Price. Such delivery shall constitute warranties by the seller thereof that such seller has full authority to deliver such certificate(s) and that the stock evidenced thereby is free and clear of all liens, encumbrances or other outstanding interests of any nature, other than those created pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 6.3 Legal Requirements. The purchase and sale of any Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to compliance with all applicable state and federal securities laws, and each Shareholder agrees without additional consideration to do all necessary things reasonably requested by the Company in connection therewith, the reasonable expenses of such to be paid by the selling Shareholder(s). 6.4 Removal of Shareholder From Personal Obligation. Upon the purchase of all of Shareholder's Shares by the Company of the Shareholders pursuant to this Agreement, the Company and the other Shareholders shall put forth their reasonable efforts to insulate the selling Shareholder from any personal liability arising from any personal guarantee made by such selling Shareholder with respect to any obligation of the Company other than one with respect to, or incurred in connection with, the purchase of Shares. At the settlement of the purchase of the Selling Shareholder's Shares, the Company and the other Shareholders shall, to the extent permitted by law, deliver a written document completely and absolutely indemnifying and holding the Selling Shareholder, or his, her or its estate, harmless from becoming so liable or from paying money. However, the foregoing shall not be interpreted as obligating the Company or any Shareholder to make any prepayment of outstanding loans which the Selling Shareholder personally guaranteed. 7.

No Shareholder shall take any action as an officer, Director, or shareholder of the Company which would prevent such Shareholder or the Company from providing the Shareholders with the rights and benefits contemplated by this Agreement, the Articles or the By-laws of the Company or which would otherwise cause such Shareholder or the Company to breach its obligations, commitments, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the Articles or the By-laws of the Company. 8.3 Shareholder Status. Each Shareholder shall remain eligible to be a Shareholder under Section 1361 of the Code and shall not Transfer or sell his, her or its shares to any third party who would not be eligible to be a Shareholder under Section 1361 of the Code. 9. Subchapter S Corporation Status. 9.1 Maintenance of Election. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Company nor any Shareholder shall take any action, make any Transfer of Shares or fail to take any action which shall result in the termination of the Election. If any such Transfer, act or failure to act shall occur, the Company or Shareholder, as the case may be, shall immediately take such remedial steps as may be necessary to prevent termination of the Election. In the event that the Election is terminated because of any Shareholder's act or failure to act, then such Shareholder shall indemnify the Company and the other Shareholders for any loss or liability incurred on account of such termination, including, without limitation, any federal and state income taxes directly attributable to such termination, taking into account all losses, if any, of past, present, and future tax benefits accruing from such termination. 9.2 Shareholder Actions to Preserve Election. Each Shareholder hereby agrees to execute, at the Company's written request, any and all such documents as may be necessary to preserve the Election in accordance with state and federal laws. 9.3 Revocation of Election. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Election may be revoked by the unanimous action of the Board of Directors. 14 9.4 Inadvertent Termination of Election. If the Company's status as an S corporation is terminated inadvertently and the Company wishes to obtain a ruling under Section 1362(f) of the Code, each Shareholder agrees to make any adjustments required pursuant to Section 1362(f)(4) of the Code and approved by the Company's Board of Directors. A Shareholder's obligation to make such adjustments shall continue after the Shareholder has ceased to own Shares of the Company and after this Agreement has terminated. 9.5 Tax Distributions. As long as the Company is an S corporation, and subject to any limitations on distributions imposed by governing state law, the Company shall make pro rata distributions of money, based on ownership of Shares, to pay the federal and state income taxes on the income (net of any tax benefits produced for the Shareholders by the Company's losses, deductions, and credits) that passes through from the Company to the Shareholders under the applicable provisions of the Code and state law. The total amount required to be distributed shall be determined by conclusively presuming that all taxable income passed through to each Shareholder shall be taxed at the maximum federal rate (without regard to exemptions or phaseouts of lower tax rates) and the maximum State of Georgia rate at which income of any individual can be taxed in the calendar year that includes the last day of the Company's taxable year. It shall further be conclusively presumed that the Shareholder can deduct the State of Georgia tax for federal income tax purposes, and the calculations shall be made using the net effective State of Georgia rate. Distributions under this Section 9.5 shall be made not later than April 15 of each year. To the extent that the Shareholders shall be required to make estimated tax payments prior to April 15, the Company shall make cash distributions corresponding to the estimated tax payments not later than the due dates for such estimated tax payments. No provision of this Agreement shall cause the total dividend paid with respect to any outstanding Share to differ from the amounts paid with respect to any other outstanding Share. No provision of this section 9.5 shall be construed to limit the ability of the Company to declare and pay additional dividends to the Shareholders out of the assets of the Company legally available for such payment at such time or times as the Board of Directors may determine. 10. Termination. 10.1 The term of this Agreement shall commence as of the date first above written and shall terminate upon the first to occur of the following events: (a) the mutual written agreement of the Shareholders owning a majority of the Shares of each of the Family Groups to terminate this Agreement; (b) the merger of the Company into another corporation or the sale, exchange or disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets; or (c) when there remains only one (1) Shareholder who is a party hereto. 10.2 Upon termination of this Agreement, the certificates representing the Shares shall be released from the terms of this Agreement, and such certificates may be reissued free of the legend specified in Section 5.2 of this Agreement. 15 11.

Arbitration.

(n) "Person" means any individual, estate, trust, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, unincorporated organization or other entity, association or organization. (o) "Proportionate Part" means a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares held by a Family Group and the denominator of which is the number of Shares held by all Family Groups. (p) "Purchase Price" shall mean the Fair Market Value of the Offered Shares or Option Shares, as the case may be, determined as follows: (i) Initial Value. The Board of Directors of the Corporation shall from time to time determine a per share value for the Shares (the "Initial Value") based upon such considerations as the Board of Directors of the Corporation, in its sole discretion, determines to be relevant to such valuation. If a Selling Shareholder or Outside Shareholder (for purposes of this Article V(C)(1)(p), the "Objecting Party") does not provide written objections to Corporation concerning the Initial Value set forth in the Valuation Notice within 10 days after the date of such Valuation Notice, the Purchase Price shall be equal to the Initial Value. (ii) Appraised Value. If an Objecting Party objects in writing to the Initial Valuation within 10 days after its receipt of the Valuation Notice, the Objecting Party, within fourteen (14) days from the date of such written objection, shall engage an appraiser (the "Initial Appraiser") to determine within 30 days of such appointment the Fair Market Value of the Shares (the "First Appraised Value"). The cost of the First Appraiser shall be borne by the Objecting Party. If the First Appraised Value is at least eighty percent (80%) of the Initial Value but less than one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the Initial Value, then the Purchase Price shall be the average of the Initial Value and the First Appraised Value. If the First Appraised Value is less than eighty percent (80%) of the Initial Value or more than one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the Initial Value, then the Corporation and the Objecting Party shall, within fourteen (14) days from the date of the First Appraised Value, mutually agree on an appraiser (the "Independent Appraiser"). The cost of the Independent Appraiser shall be 4 borne equally by the Corporation and the Objecting Party. The Independent Appraiser shall determine within 14 days after its appointment the Fair Market Value of the Shares (the "Final Valuation"), but such Final Valuation shall be not less than the smaller of the Initial Value and the First Appraised Value nor greater than the larger of the Initial Value and the First Appraised Value. The Purchase Price shall be equal to the Final Valuation and shall be final and binding for purposes of the subject transaction. (iii) Mutually Agreed Upon Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the procedure set forth above, the Corporation and an Objecting Party may, prior to or at any time during the appraisal process, mutually agree on a single independent appraiser to determine the Purchase Price, which determination shall be binding on all of the parties, or may agree in writing upon a Purchase Price. (iv) Cooperation with Appraisers. The Corporation shall cooperate in assisting the appraisers in determining the Purchase Price, including providing reasonable access to the books and records of the Corporation and to such other information as the appraisers reasonably request in connection with such determination; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require the Corporation to disclose privileged or proprietary information; and provided further, that the Corporation may require such appraisers to enter into such confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements as the Corporation reasonably believes to be necessary to protect the interests of the Corporation and its Shareholders. (q) "Qualified Fiduciary" means (i) the trustee of any trust (including without limitation a voting trust) if and as long as the trust is held for the benefit of one or more Permitted Transferees and no other Person, or (ii) the executor, administrator, guardian, personal representative or other fiduciary of a deceased, incompetent, bankrupt or insolvent Permitted Transferee; provided that any such trust must prohibit the transfer of Shares to any Persons other than (x) the Person or Persons who established the trust, and (y) Authorized Transferees of the Person or Persons who established such trust. (r) "Shares" means shares of the Common Stock. (s) "Shareholder" shall mean each Original Shareholder, each Authorized Transferee who acquires Shares and any other Person who acquires Shares as the result of a Transfer of Shares to such Person. 5 (t) "Starting Date" means, with respect to any Seller's Notice or Call Notice, the date of the final determination of the Purchase Price relating to such notice. (u) "Transfer" means any sale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance, disposition, transfer (including, without limitation, a transfer by will or intestate distribution), gift or attempt to create or grant a security interest in Shares, whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise. Without limiting the rights of the Corporation and the Family Groups under Article V(D)(4), the occurrence of an event discussed in Articles V(C)(1)(f)(i), V(C)(1)(f)(ii), or V(C)(1)(f)(iii), pursuant to which a Family Member ceases to be a Family Member and is thereafter treated as an Outside Shareholder, shall not constitute a "Transfer" giving rise to the exercise of Purchase Rights under Article V(D)(3). (v) "Valuation Notice" shall mean the notice given by the Corporation pursuant to Articles V(D)(3)(b) or V(C)(1)(u), V(D)(4)(a) and stating the Initial Value at which a Purchase Right or a Call Option is to be exercised. (D) Restrictions on Transfers of Shares (1) Restriction on Transfers. Except as otherwise provided herein, no Shareholder shall, either during the Shareholder's lifetime or upon the Shareholder's death, Transfer any of the Shares now owned or hereafter acquired by such Shareholder. Without limiting the foregoing, a Shareholder shall not transfer any of his, her or its Shares to any Person or in any manner which would cause the Corporation's election to be treated as an S Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to be terminated or revoked or which would be contrary to the provisions of the NACCO Restated Certificate or the NACCO Stockholders' Agreement. In the event of any purported or attempted Transfer of Restricted Shares that does not comply with these Articles, the purported transferee or successor by operation of law shall not be deemed to be a stockholder of the Corporation for any purpose and shall not be entitled to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Corporation, including, without limitation, the right to vote the Shares or to receive a certificate for Shares or any dividends or other distributions on or with respect to Shares. Any purported or attempted transfer of Shares made other than in accordance with these Articles shall be void ab initio and the last holder of record who acquired such Shares in a manner not contrary to the provisions of these Articles shall be recognized as the holder of such Shares for all purposes and such Shares shall be deemed owned by such recognized holder. (2) Unrestricted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Original Shareholder or Authorized Transferee of such Original Shareholder shall be entitled to Transfer all or any portion of his, her or its 6 Shares to any Authorized Transferee of such Original Shareholder, without need to comply with the other provisions of these Articles. (3) Purchase Right. At any time after the date hereof, the Corporation and the Family Groups shall have a right of first refusal (the "Purchase Right") to purchase, pursuant to the terms of this Article V(D)(3), from any Shareholder (for purposes of this Article V(D)(3), a "Selling Shareholder") intending to Transfer, other than as permitted in Article V(D)(2), all or any portion of his, her or its Shares (including any Shares acquired after the date hereof). (a) A Selling Shareholder intending to Transfer all or any portion of his, her or its Shares shall first deliver to the Corporation a written notice (the "Seller's Notice") specifying (i) the number of Shares to be transferred (the "Offered Shares"); and (ii) the identity of the proposed transferee. (b) Within 10 days after the Corporation's receipt of the Seller's Notice, the Corporation shall deliver to the Selling Shareholder a Valuation Notice setting forth the Initial Value and the Corporation and the Selling Shareholder shall commence the process to determine the Purchase Price pursuant to Article V(C)(1)(p). (c) Within 10 days after Starting Date, the Corporation shall notify each Family Shareholder (other than the Selling Shareholder) of (i) the Starting Date; (ii) the number of Offered Shares; and (iii) the Purchase Price. The Corporation's notice shall include a copy of the Seller's Notice. (d) Within 40 days after the Starting Date, each Shareholder shall notify the Corporation of how many, if any, of the Offered Shares he or she elects to purchase. (e) Within 50 days after the Starting Date, the Corporation shall provide written notice to the Selling Shareholder and to each other Shareholder of (i) the number of Offered Share to be purchased by Family Shareholders and the allocation of the Offered Shares among the Family Shareholders pursuant to the terms of Article V(D)(5); (ii) the number of Offered Shares to be purchased by the Corporation; and (iii) the time, date and place of closing which shall be no sooner than 90 days after the Starting Date and no later than 120 days after the Starting Date. (4) Call Options to Purchase Shares. At any time after the date hereof, the Corporation and the Family Groups shall have the option (the "Call Option") to purchase from any Shareholder who is then an Outside Shareholder all, but not less than all, of the Shares (the "Option Shares") directly or indirectly owned by such Outside Shareholder, and upon the exercise of a Call Option such Outside Shareholder shall be obligated to sell to the purchasing Shareholders or the 7 Corporation, as the case may be, all (but not less than all) of his, her or its Option Shares. The Call Option shall be exercised as follows: (a) Within thirty (30) days after the determination by the Board of Directors of the Corporation to exercise a Call Option with respect to an Outside Shareholder, the Corporation shall provide written notice (the "Call Notice") of such exercise to the Selling Outside Shareholder of (i) the exercise of the Option; (ii) the number of Option Shares; and (iii) the Initial Value of the Option Shares. Thereafter, the Corporation and the Outside Shareholder shall determine the Purchase Price in accordance with Article V(C)(1)(p). (b) Within ten (10) days after the Starting Date, the Corporation shall provide notice of such exercise to each Shareholder who is then a member of a Family Group (a "Family Shareholder") of (i) the exercise of the Option; (ii) the number of Option Shares; (iii) the Purchase Price of the Option Shares; and (iv) the Starting Date. (c) Within 40 days after the Starting Date, each Family Shareholder shall notify the Corporation of how many, if any, of the Option Shares he, she or it elects to purchase. (d) Within 50 days after the Starting Date, the Corporation shall provide written notice to the selling Outside Shareholder and to each Family Shareholder of (i) the allocation of the Option Shares among the Family Shareholders pursuant to the terms of Article V(D)(5); (ii) the number of Option Shares to be purchased by the Corporation; and (iii) the time, date and place of closing which shall be no sooner than 90 days after the Starting Date and no later than 120 days after the Starting Date. (e) If the Corporation and the Family Shareholders do not together elect to purchase all of the Option Shares then the Outside Shareholder shall not be obligated to sell any of the Option Shares; provided, however, that the Corporation and the Family Shareholders shall continue to have the right to exercise a Call Option with respect to such Option Shares at anytime thereafter. (f) The Option Shares shall be allocated among the Corporation and the Family Groups, and within each Family Group among its members, in the manner provided in Article V(D)(5). (5) Allocation of Offered Shares and Option Shares. Offered Shares and Option Shares shall be allocated among the Corporation and the Family Shareholders pursuant to the terms of this Article V(D)(5). At the Closing, the Corporation and such Family Shareholders, as the case may be, shall be obligated to purchase the Offered 8 Shares or Option Shares so allocated pursuant to the terms and provisions of these Articles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Shareholder shall be entitled to receive, or be obligated to purchase, more Shares than such Shareholder has elected to purchase pursuant to Article V(D)(3)(d) or V(D)(4)(c), as the case may be. All Offered Shares or Option Shares shall be allocated as follows: (a) Allocation to Original Holders of Offered Shares. The Shares to be allocated shall first be allocated to the members of the Family Group (the "Original Holders") in which the Selling Shareholder is a Family Member who have elected to purchase any portion of such Shares, or if the Selling Shareholder is an Outside Shareholder, from which the Selling Shareholder, or his, her or its predecessors in interest, acquired such Shares. Such Shares shall be allocated in accordance with Article V(D)(5)(b). (b) Allocation among Family Groups. Any Offered Shares or Option Shares not allocated pursuant to Article V(D)(5)(a) (the "Remaining Shares") shall be allocated among the Family Groups (other than the Original Holders) which have Shareholders electing to purchase Offered Shares or Option Shares as follows: (i) If a Family Group has collectively elected to purchase a number of Offered Shares or Option Shares which is less than or equal to its Proportionate Part of the Remaining Shares, then such Family Group shall be allocated the number of Shares that its members have elected to purchase. (ii) If a Family Group has collectively elected to purchase a number of Offered Shares or Option Shares which is greater than its Proportionate Part of the Remaining Shares, then such Family Group shall, in the first instance, be allocated its Proportionate Part of the Remaining Shares. (iii) If additional Remaining Shares remain to be allocated after the application of subsections a. and b. above (the "Outstanding Remaining Shares"), then each Family Group which has collectively elected to purchase a number of Offered Shares or Option Shares which exceeds its Proportionate Part shall be allocated an additional number of the Remaining Shares equal to the lesser of: A) The number of Offered Shares or Option Shares which such Family Group elected to purchase but which were not allocated to it by reason of subsection (ii) above, or 9 B) That portion of the Outstanding Remaining Shares represented by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of Shares held by such Family Group (prior to such allocation), and the denominator of which is the number of Shares held by all Family Groups which have elected to purchase a number of Offered Shares or Option Shares in excess of the number of those Offered Shares or Option Shares previously allocated to them under this Article V(D)(5). (iv) Any Shares remaining to be allocated after the application of subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) above, shall be allocated in accordance with the procedures described in subsection (iii) above until either A) all of the Offered Shares or Option Shares which Family Shareholders, as the case may be, have elected to purchase have been allocated, or B) there remains only one Family Group which has not been allocated all of the Shares it has elected to purchase, in which event all of the then unallocated Offered Shares or Option Shares shall be allocated to such Family Group up to the amount that such Family Group elected to purchase. (c) Allocation to the Corporation. The Corporation shall purchase any Offered Shares not allocated to a Family Group. The Corporation may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase any Option Shares not allocated to a Family Group. (d) Allocation of Shares among Family Group Members. Offered Shares or Option Shares allocated to a Family Group shall be allocated among the Family Shareholders of such Family Group, as follows: (i) First, to the Original Shareholder of such Family Group in an amount equal to the number of Offered Shares or Option Shares such Original Shareholder elects to Purchase; and (ii) Second, to each Shareholder of such Family Group, other than the Original Shareholder, electing to purchase Offered Shares or Option Shares in an amount determined by multiplying A) the number of Shares allocated to such Family Group and not purchased by the Original Shareholder, by B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares subscribed for by such Shareholder, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Shares subscribed for by all Shareholders of a Family Group, other than the Original Shareholder. 10 (E) General Restrictions/Covenants on Transfers. (1) Securities Law Restrictions. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Articles, but subject to express written waiver by the Corporation in the exercise of its good faith and reasonable judgment, no Shareholder shall Transfer any Shares without the registration of the Transfer of such Shares under the Act or until the Corporation shall have received such legal opinions or other assurances that such Transfer is exempt from the registration requirements under the Act and applicable state securities laws as the Corporation in its good faith and reasonable discretion deems appropriate in light of the facts and circumstances relating to such proposed Transfer, together with such representations, warranties and indemnifications from the transferor and the transferee as the Corporation in its good faith and reasonable discretion deems appropriate to confirm the accuracy of the facts and circumstances that are the basis for any such opinion or other assurances and to protect the Corporation and the other Shareholders from any liability resulting from any such Transfer.

Such adjustments shall be made based upon the Partnership Percentages determined as set forth below (whether such 5 determination is made by the Managing Partner in determining the Partnership Valuation, an objecting Partner in determining the Partner Appraised Value, or an Independent Appraiser in determining the Independent Valuation): (a) First, the Fair Market Value of the Partnership Property immediately before the disproportionate Capital Contribution or distribution will be determined; (b) Second, the difference between the aggregate value of the Partnership Property and the total of the Partnership debt will be allocated among the Partners in proportion to the Partnership Percentages in effect immediately before the disproportionate Capital Contribution or distribution; (c) Third, each Partner's Capital Contribution at the time of the disproportionate Capital Contribution will be added to, and each Partner's distribution at the time of the disproportionate distribution will be subtracted from, that Partner's allocable share of the net value of the Partnership Property immediately before the disproportionate Capital Contribution or distribution; and (d) Finally, each Partner's sum or difference determined under (c), above, will be expressed as a percentage of the aggregate sums or differences of all Partners determined under (c), above.

If a Partner objects in writing to the Partnership Valuation, such Partner may, at its sole cost and expense and within fourteen (14) days from the date of such written objection, engage an appraiser to determine within 30 days of such appointment the Fair Market Value of the Partnership Property and the resulting Partnership Percentages in accordance with the fourth sentence of this Section (the "Partner Appraised Value"). If the Partner Appraised Value is at least eighty percent (80%) of the Initial Value and less than or equal to one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the Initial Value, then the Partnership Percentages shall be based upon the average of the Partnership Valuation and the Partner Appraised Value. If the Partner Appraised Value is less than eighty percent (80%) of the Initial Value or more than one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the Initial Value, then the Managing Partner and the Partner(s) objecting to the Partnership Valuation shall, within fourteen (14) days from the date of the Partner Appraised Value, mutually agree on an appraiser (the "Independent Appraiser"). The cost of the Independent Appraiser shall be borne equally by the Partnership and the Partner(s) objecting to the Partnership Valuation. The Independent Appraiser shall determine within 14 days after its appointment the Fair Market Value of the Partnership Property and the resulting Partnership Percentages pursuant to the fourth sentence of this Section (such valuation and resulting Partnership Percentages being hereafter referred to as the "Independent Valuation"), but such Independent Valuation shall be not less than the smaller of the Partnership Valuation and the 6 Partner Appraised Value nor greater than the larger of the Partnership Valuation and the Partner Appraised Value. The Independent Valuation as so determined shall be binding upon the Partnership and each of the Partners. The Partnership shall cooperate in assisting the appraisers in conducting the foregoing appraisals, including providing reasonable access to the books and records of the Partnership and to such other information as the appraisers reasonably request in connection with such determinations; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require the Partnership to disclose privileged or proprietary information; and provided further, that the Partnership may require such appraisers to enter into such confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements as the Managing Partner reasonably believes to be necessary to protect the interests of the Partnership and its Partners. The Managing Partner may by a majority vote of its Board of Directors establish a disproportionate monthly or other periodic draws during the calendar year but any such disproportionate draws shall not be regarded as disproportionate distributions if compensating distributions, determined with or without interest in the discretion of the Managing Partner, are made by the end of March of the following calendar year so that the periodic draws and compensating distributions in the aggregate are proportionate. A successor or assign of a Partner shall succeed to that portion of the predecessor Partner's Partnership Percentage which is assigned or otherwise transferred to that successor or assign in accordance with the provisions of Section 7. 1.49 "Partnership Property" means any property, real, personal or mixed, or any interest therein or appurtenant thereto which may be owned or acquired by the Partnership. means any individual, estate, trust, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, unincorporated organization or other entity, association or organization. 1.51 "Proportionate Part" means, with respect to any Partner or Family Group, the Partnership Percentage of such Partner or the aggregate Partnership Percentage of such Family Group. 1.52 "Purchase Price" shall mean the Fair Market Value of the Offered Interests or Option Interests, as the case may be, determined as follows: (a) Initial Value. The Managing Partner shall from time to time determine a value for the Partnership Interests (the "Initial Value") based upon such considerations as the Managing Partner, in its sole discretion, determines to be relevant to such valuation. If a Selling Partner or Outside Partner (for purposes of this Section 1.52, the "Objecting Party") does not provide written objections to Partnership concerning the Initial Value set forth in the Valuation Notice within 10 days after the date of such Valuation Notice, the Purchase Price shall be equal to the Initial Value. (b) Appraised Value. If an Objecting Party objects in writing to the Initial Valuation within 10 days after its receipt of the Valuation Notice, the Objecting Party, within fourteen (14) days from the date of such written objection, shall engage an appraiser (the "First Appraiser") to determine within 30 days of such appointment the Fair Market Value of the Shares (the "First Appraised Value"). The cost of the First Appraiser shall be borne by the 7 Objecting Party. If the First Appraised Value is at least eighty percent (80%) of the Initial Value and less than or equal to one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the Initial Value, then the Purchase Price shall be the average of the Partnership Valuation and the Partner Appraised Value. If the First Appraised Value is less than eighty percent (80%) of the Initial Value or more than one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the Initial Value, then the Partnership and the Objecting Party shall, within fourteen (14) days from the date of the First Appraised Value, mutually agree on an appraiser (the "Final Appraiser"). The cost of the Final Appraiser shall be borne equally by the Partnership and the Objecting Party. The Final Appraiser shall determine within 14 days after its appointment the Fair Market Value of the Shares (the "Final Valuation"), but such Final Valuation shall be not less than the smaller of the Initial Value and the First Appraised Value nor greater than the larger of the Initial Value and the First Appraised Value. The Purchase Price shall be equal to the Final Valuation and shall be final and binding upon the parties to this Agreement for purposes of the subject transaction. (c) Mutually Agreed Upon Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the procedure set forth above, the Partnership and an Objecting Party may, prior to or at any time during the appraisal process, mutually agree on a single independent appraiser to determine the Purchase Price, which determination shall be binding on all of the parties, or may agree in writing upon a Purchase Price. (d) Cooperation with Appraisers. The Partnership shall cooperate in assisting the appraisers in determining the Purchase Price, including providing reasonable access to the books and records of the Partnership and to such other information as the appraisers reasonably request in connection with such determination; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require the Partnership to disclose privileged or proprietary information; and provided further, that the Partnership may require such appraisers to enter into such confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements as the Managing Partner reasonably believes to be necessary to protect the interests of the Partnership and its Partners. 1.53 "Purchase Right" shall have the meaning set forth in Section 7.4. 1.54 "Qualified Fiduciary" means (a) the trustee of any trust (including without limitation a voting trust) if and as long as the trust is held for the benefit of one or more Authorized Transferees and no other Person, or (b) the executor, administrator, guardian, personal representative or other fiduciary of a deceased, incompetent, bankrupt or insolvent Authorized Transferee; provided that any such trust must prohibit the transfer of Partnership Interests to any Persons other than (x) the Person or Persons who established the trust, and (y) Authorized Transferees of the Person or Persons who established such trust. 1.55 "Remaining Interests" shall have the meaning set forth in Section 7.6(b). 1.56 "Seller's Notice" shall have the meaning set forth in Section 7.4(a). 1.57 "Selling Partner" shall have the meaning set forth in Section 7.4. 8 1.58 "Starting Date" means, with respect to any Seller's Notice or Call Notice, the date of the final determination of the Purchase Price relating to such notice. 1.59 "Transfer" means any sale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance, disposition, transfer (including, without limitation, a transfer by will or intestate distribution), gift or attempt to create or grant a security interest in Partnership Interests, whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Partner does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall not: (a) violate or constitute an occurrence of default (which violation or default either singularly or in the aggregate would be considered material) under any provision of, or conflict with, or result in acceleration of any obligation under, or give rise to a right by any party to terminate its obligations under any material agreement, instrument, order, judgment, decree or other arrangement to which such Partner is a party or by which he is bound or his assets affected; or (b) require any consent, approval, filing or notice under any provision of law, or violate any judgment, ruling, order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to such Partner. 4. CAPITAL 4.1 Initial Contributions. As of the date hereof, the Partners have contributed various properties to the Partnership as their respective initial Capital Contributions. The initial Partnership Interests and Partnership Percentages shall be proportional to the Fair Market Values of the Partners' respective Capital Contributions, without regard to whether such Capital Contributions are for an interest as a General Partner, Limited Partner, or both. The properties initially contributed to the Partnership by the respective Partners, the Fair Market Values of such 11 Capital Contributions, as mutually agreed upon by the Partners, and the specification of the extent to which such Capital Contributions are for an interest as a General Partner or a Limited Partner are set forth in Schedule A attached hereto. The Partners acknowledge that they, their advisers, or both are familiar with the properties contributed to the Partnership, have considerable knowledge and experience regarding the valuation of those properties and similar properties, and have in good faith determined the Fair Market Values of such properties, as set forth in Schedule A. 4.2 Additional Contributions. In addition to the Capital Contributions made by the Partners pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof, and subject to the limitations on any requirement that a Partner make additional Capital Contributions (as hereinafter provided in the second paragraph of this Section 4.2), the Partners may, from time to time, make such additional Capital Contributions as may be necessary or desirable in the discretion of the Managing Partner; provided, however, that any property contributed to the Partnership under this Section 4.2 shall be transferred subject to any and all existing liabilities encumbering such contributed property, and the Partnership shall take and hold the contributed property subject to such existing liabilities but shall not assume such liabilities unless Partners owning more than fifty percent (50%) of the Partnership Interests consent in writing to any such assumption. In the event the net values of the additional Capital Contributions shall be disproportionate to the Partners' Partnership Percentages immediately before the additional Capital Contributions, then the Partnership Percentages shall be adjusted as provided in Section 1.48 to reflect the disproportionate additional Capital Contributions. Under no circumstances shall a Limited Partner be personally liable for any of the debts or obligations of the Partnership by reason of such Person's status as a Limited Partner. No Limited Partner shall be required, by reason of such Person's status as a Limited Partner, to contribute any capital to the Partnership except as provided in Section 4.1. 4.3 Capital Accounts. (a) An individual Capital Account shall be established and maintained for each Partner in accordance with the requirements of the Code and any regulations thereunder, and shall be credited with the Capital Contributions(s) of such Partner and that portion of Net Income allocable to such Partner, and shall be debited with that portion of any Net Loss allocable to such Partner and all distributions made by the Partnership to such Partner. If the Partner is both a General Partner and a Limited Partner, subaccounts shall be maintained to reflect the Person's interest as a General Partner and as a Limited Partner. (b) No interest shall be payable to any Partner on any positive balance in such Partner's Capital Account. (c) No Partner shall have the right to withdraw from his Capital Account or to otherwise receive any Partnership funds or Partnership Property except as provided by this Agreement. Each Partner expressly waives any right to partition the Partnership Property which he or she may otherwise have, as provided in Section 11.4. 12 (d) A Partner shall be required to eliminate in any fashion approved in good faith by the Managing Partner any deficit balance which may arise in that Partner's Capital Account, at the time the Partnership is dissolved or at any other time, provided, however, that no Limited Partner shall be required, by reason of such Person's status as a Limited Partner, to contribute any capital to the Partnership except as provided in Section 4.1. If a Limited Partner unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in (4), (5) or (6) of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the regulations issued under Section 704(b) of the Code (or any successor thereto), gross income of the Partnership or gain from a sale of assets shall be allocated to such Limited Partner or Limited Partners in an amount sufficient to eliminate any deficit balance in such Limited Partner's capital account caused by such adjustment, allocation or distribution as quickly as possible to the extent such deficit balance exceeds the amount such Limited Partner is deemed obligated to restore to the Partnership pursuant to the Section 704(b) regulations. It is the intent of the Partners that any allocation pursuant to this Section 4.3 constitutes a "qualified income offset" under Treasury regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). 4.4 Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss. Net Income or Net Loss of the Partnership shall be determined as of the end of each calendar year and as of the end of any interim period extending through the day immediately preceding any disproportionate Capital Contribution or distribution or succession or assignment. If a calendar year includes an interim period, the determination of Net Income or Net Loss for the period extending through the last day of the calendar year shall include only that period of less than twelve (12) months occurring from the day immediately following the last day of the latest interim period during the calendar year and extending through the last day of the calendar year. For all purposes, including income tax purposes, Net Income, if any, of the Partnership for each calendar year or interim period shall be allocated among the Partners in proportion to their Partnership Percentages for the calendar year or interim period. In the event of a Net Loss for a particular calendar year or interim period, then, for such calendar year or interim period, the Net Loss for such calendar year or interim period shall be allocated among the Partners in proportion to their respective Partnership Percentages for the calendar year or interim period. 4.5 Distributions. (a) The Partnership must distribute annually among the Partners an amount equal to the greater of (i) Net Operating Cash Flow of the Partnership, or (ii) an amount corresponding to the income tax liabilities of the Partners resulting from the allocation of Net Income (as shall be determined in good faith by the Managing Partner by assuming that all Partners are in the highest marginal federal income tax bracket and by using the income tax rates for the state of residence of the Partner with the highest state income tax rates). The Partnership shall make such distributions from time to time during each year as the Managing Partner determines, provided that the Partnership must distribute quarterly at least fifteen days in advance of the dates on which estimated tax payments are due at least an amount corresponding to the income tax liabilities of the Partners resulting from the allocation of Net Income (as determined as provided in the preceding sentence). 13 (b) All distributions shall be made in proportion to the Partners' Partnership Percentages except (i) when the Managing Partner by majority vote of its Board of Directors approves the disproportionate distribution, or (ii) with respect to any payment of NACCO Class A Shares or NACCO Class B Shares by the Partnership pursuant to Section 7.7(a). The Managing Partner is encouraged to consider disproportionate distributions to defray the income tax liabilities resulting from special allocations under Section 704(c) of the Code, but such disproportionate distributions shall not be required. Subject to Section 4.5(a), the Managing Partner is expressly authorized to make monthly or other periodic draws with respect to one or more, but not necessarily all, of the Partners, on the condition that compensating distributions, determined with or without interest in the discretion of the Managing Partner, shall be made to the other Partners on or before the end of March of the following calendar year so that the total draws and compensating distributions shall be proportionate. For all purposes of this Agreement, except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, a distribution among the Partners which is not in proportion to Partnership Percentages shall be regarded as disproportionate.
