2.5 Term. The term of the Partnership shall commence on the date of the filing of the Partnership’s Certificate of Limited Partnership with the Indiana Secretary of State and shall continue until dissolved and liquidated pursuant to Article IX hereof.

4.1 Capital Contributions of the Partners. The Limited Partner and General Partner shall initially contribute the respective amounts set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto. Other than as set forth above, no Partner shall have any liability for or be required to make any additional Capital Contributions.

4.2 No Interest Earned on Capital Contributions. No Partner shall be entitled to receive interest on such Partner’s capital contributions.

4.3 Withdrawal of Capital. Prior to the dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership under Article IX, no Partner shall be entitled to receive a return of, or withdraw, any part of such Partner’s Capital Contribution.

4.4 Capital Accounts. The General Partner shall establish a separate Capital Account for each Partner. Each such Capital Account (a) shall be increased by (i) the amount of money and the fair market value of property contributed by the Partner to the Partnership (net of liabilities secured by such property which the Partnership is considered to assume or take subject to pursuant to Section 752 of the Code) and (ii) allocations to the Partner of Profits; and (b) shall be decreased by (i) the amount of money and fair market value of property distributed to the Partner by the Partnership (net of liabilities secured by such property which the Partner is considered to assume or take subject to pursuant to Section 752 of the Code), (ii) allocations to the Partner of expenditures of the Partnership described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code, and (iii) allocations to the Partner of Losses; and (c) shall be increased or decreased by any other allocation or adjustment as provided under Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1(b) or any other corresponding provision under future regulations.

(i) First, to the Partners based on the Losses allocated to them pursuant to Section 5.1(b)(iii) hereof until each Partner has been allocated an amount of Profits pursuant to this Section 5.1(a)(i) in the current and previous taxable years that equals the Losses allocated to that Partner pursuant to Section 5.1(b)(iii) hereof in the previous taxable years;

(ii) Second, to the Partners based on the Losses allocated to them pursuant to Section 5.1(b)(ii) hereof until each Partner has been allocated an amount of Profits pursuant to this Section 5.1(a)(ii) in the current and previous taxable years that equals the Losses allocated to that Partner pursuant to Section 5.l(b)(ii) in the previous taxable years.

(iii) Thereafter, to the Partners pro rata in proportion to their respective Participation Percentages.

(i) First, to the Partners based on the Profits allocated to them pursuant to Section 5.1(a)(iii) hereof until each Partner has been allocated an amount of Losses pursuant to this Section 5.1(b)(i) in the current and previous taxable years equal to the Profits allocated to that Partner pursuant to Section 5.1(a)(iii) in the previous taxable years.

(ii) Second, to the Partners based on their respective positive Capital Accounts until each Partner has been allocated an amount of Losses pursuant to this Section 5.1(b)(ii) in the current and previous taxable years to reduce that Partner’s Capital Account to zero; and

(iii) Thereafter, to the Partners in proportion to their respective Participation Percentages.

5.2 Distributions. Cash Flow shall be distributed to the Partners in proportion to their respective Participation Percentages, in such amounts and at such times as the General Partner shall determine.

5.3 Qualified Income Offset. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary:

(a) No allocation of deductions, losses or items thereof under this Agreement shall be made to any Partner to the extent that such allocation (i) would cause such Partner to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the last day of such taxable year, (ii) would increase any Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, or (iii) in the good faith judgment of the General Partner or upon advice of the Partnership’s independent certified public accounting firm or legal counsel, would otherwise not likely be respected under Section 704(b) of the Code. In any such event, the allocation of such deductions, losses or items thereof to such Partner shall be reduced to the extent necessary to comply with the first sentence of this Section 5.3(a) and the allocation of such deductions, losses or items thereof to the other Partners shall be increased to the same extent. No such determination by the General Partner in its good faith judgment or upon the advice of such accounting firm or legal counsel shall give rise to any claim or cause of action by any Partner.

(b) To the extent any Losses have been specially allocated to any Partner in accordance with Section 5.3(a), then Profits shall thereafter first be specially allocated to such Partner in proportion to and in an amount up to, but not exceeding, the amount of any such allocations of Losses made to the Partner under such Section 5.3(a).

(c) If any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) in an amount not reasonably expected, and if such Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the last day of such taxable year, then the Partner shall be allocated all items of income and gain, including gross income, of the Partnership for such year and for all subsequent taxable years of the Partnership in the manner provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) until such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit has been eliminated. This Section 5.4(c) is intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and all allocations shall be made so as to comply therewith.

5.4 Partnership Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain for a taxable year of the Partnership within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(1), each Partner shall be specially allocated items of income and gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, for subsequent taxable years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, computed in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704- 2(f)(1) and 1.704-2(g)(2) and subject to the exceptions set forth in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(2) and (3). The Partners intend that items with respect to nonrecourse liabilities, if any, shall be determined and allocated in accordance with the so-called “minimum gain chargeback” provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2.

5.5 Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary (except Section 5.4 hereof), if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any taxable year of the Partnership, then each Partner who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt (as determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5)) shall be specially allocated items of income and gain for such taxable year (and if necessary, subsequent taxable years) in an amount equal to the portion of such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt (as determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4)). Any allocations made pursuant to this Section shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto. The items of income or gain to be specially allocated under this Section 5.5 shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). This Section 5.5 is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

5.6 Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions shall be specially allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).

5.7 Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership Property undertaken pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required to be taken into account in determining the Capital Accounts of the Partners under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), then the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or

loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).

5.8 Curative Allocations. The special allocations set forth in Sections 5.3 through 5.7 hereof are intended to comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2. These special allocations may lead to results which are inconsistent with the Partners’ intentions concerning their sharing in Distributions. Accordingly, the General Partner is hereby authorized and directed to specially allocate other items of Partnership income, gain, loss and deduction among the Partners, to the extent permitted by the Treasury Regulations, so as to prevent the special allocations required under Sections 5.3 through 5.7 from distorting the Partners’ intentions of the manner in which Distributions are to be made to the Partners upon the dissolution and termination of the Partnership.

5.9 Tax Allocations; Code Section 704(c). In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and its initial Carrying Value. In the event the Carrying Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Carrying Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder. Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Tax Matters Partner in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.9 are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of Profits and Losses, other items, or Distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

6.1 Management and Control. The General Partner shall have the exclusive right and authority to manage the business of the Partnership, and is hereby authorized to take any action on behalf of the Partnership that the General Partner deems necessary, advisable or appropriate in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and applicable law. The General Partner shall have full authority to act for and bind the Partnership. Persons dealing with the Partnership shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon the power and authority of the General Partner referred to in this Agreement. Subject to Section 6.2 hereof, the General Partner’s specific powers on behalf of the Partnership shall include, without limitation:

(a) Taking, performing and engaging in any and all actions and activities relating or incidental to the ownership, holding, development, construction, management, operating, leasing, financing, refinancing and/or sale or other disposition of Partnership Property, including without limitation contracting with others for the same and entering into and executing agreements consistent with the terms hereof and deemed by the General Partner to be necessary,

advisable or appropriate for the proper acquisition, ownership, operation, sale and disposition of any and all Partnership Property or to perform effectively and properly its duties or to exercise its powers hereunder;

(b) Borrowing money from banks, other lending institutions, and other lenders (including any Partner) for any Partnership purpose, and in connection therewith issuing notes, debentures, and other debt securities and hypothecating and mortgaging the assets of the Partnership to secure repayment of the borrowed sums; and no bank, other lending institution, or other lender to which application is made for a loan shall be required to inquire as to the Partnership purposes for which such loan is sought; and as between the Partnership and such bank, other lending institution, or other lender, it shall be conclusively presumed that the proceeds of such loan are to be and will be used for the purposes authorized under this Agreement; and the signature of the General Partner shall be sufficient on all notes, debentures, mortgages and other similar or related documents.

Neither the Partnership nor any Partner shall have any right by virtue of this Agreement or the partnership relationship created hereby in or to such other ventures or activities or to the income or proceeds derived therefrom, and the pursuit of such ventures, even if competitive with the business of the Partnership, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper.

6.6 Reimbursement to the General Partner. The General Partner shall be reimbursed by the Partnership for its out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred or paid by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership.

6.10 Admission of Additional General Partners. With the Affirmative Vote of the Limited Partners, the General Partner may at any time designate one or more Persons to be successor or additional general partners, with such participation in the General Partner’s Interest as the General Partner and such successors or additional general partners may agree upon, provided that the Interests of the Limited Partners shall not be affected thereby.

A transfer made in violation of this Section 8.1 shall be void and of no effect whatsoever; provided that if the Partnership is required to recognize a transfer that is made in violation of this Section 8.1 (or if the Partnership, in its sole discretion, elects to recognize a transfer made in violation of this Section 8.1) the Interest transferred shall be strictly limited to the transferor’s rights to allocations and Distributions as provided by this Agreement with respect to the transferred Interests, which allocations and Distributions may be applied (without limiting any other legal or equitable rights of the Partnership) to satisfy any debts, obligations or liabilities for damages that the transferor or transferee of such Interests may have to the Partnership.

(a) The Bankruptcy, dissolution, termination, or withdrawal of the General Partner, unless the Partnership is continued pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.2;

(d) The happening of any event which makes it unlawful for the Partnership’s business to be conducted; or

(a) No General Partner shall voluntarily withdraw from the Partnership without sixty (60) days’ prior notice thereof to the Limited Partners, and the last remaining General Partner shall not voluntarily withdraw except with the Affirmative Vote of the Limited Partners. No General Partner may be removed by the Limited Partners.

(b) If there is more than one General Partner and one of the General Partners becomes Bankrupt, dissolves, terminates, or withdraws as provided herein, the Partnership shall not be dissolved and the remaining General Partner(s) shall continue the Partnership. In that event, the Interest of a Bankrupt, dissolved, terminated, or withdrawn General Partner will be converted to a Limited Partner Interest, which shall pass to the successors in interest of such General Partner.

(c) The Bankruptcy, dissolution, termination or withdrawal of the last remaining General Partner shall dissolve the Partnership unless the Limited Partners by Affirmative Vote agree to continue the Partnership within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such consent. In the event all of the Limited Partners so agree to continue the Partnership, the Limited Partners by Affirmative Vote shall within such ninety (90) day period appoint a successor General Partner (which vote shall not require the concurrence of the last remaining General Partner) and the business of the Partnership shall continue. Until such successor General Partner has been appointed and accepted such appointment, the successor in interest to the dissolved, Bankrupt, terminated or withdrawn last remaining General Partner shall remain a General Partner. When the successor General Partner has been appointed and accepted such appointment, then unless such successor in interest and all of the Limited Partners by Affirmative Vote agree otherwise, the Interest held by such successor in interest shall be converted to a Limited Partner Interest. In the event the Limited Partners fail to agree to continue the Partnership and to appoint a successor General Partner within ninety (90) days after the dissolution, Bankruptcy, termination or withdrawal of the last remaining General Partner, the Partnership shall be dissolved and liquidated under Sections 9.3 and 9.4 hereof.

9.3 Winding Up of the Partnership. Upon the dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partner shall wind up the affairs and sell or otherwise dispose all of the Partnership Property. The General Partner shall have full right and unlimited discretion to determine the time, manner and terms of any sale or sales of Partnership Property pursuant to such liquidation, giving due regard to the activities and condition of the relevant market and general, financial and economic conditions. The Partners shall continue to share Profits and Losses during the period of liquidation in the same proportions as before the dissolution.

9.4 Distribution of Proceeds. Following the payment of all debts and liabilities of the Partnership and all expenses of liquidation and subject to the right of the General Partner to set up such Reserves as it may deem reasonably necessary for any known, contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership, the cash proceeds of the liquidation of the Partnership (or any Partner’s Interest in the Partnership) shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with their positive Capital Accounts as determined after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for the taxable year during which such liquidation occurs, as required by Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b), with such adjustments to be made within the time specified by such Regulation (other than those made pursuant to this Section 9.4 and Section 9.5 of this Agreement), by the end of such taxable year (or, if later, within 90 days after the date of liquidation).

9.5 Payment of Capital Account Deficits. If the General Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account following the liquidation of its Interest in the Partnership, as determined after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for the Partnership’s taxable year during which such liquidation occurs (other than those made pursuant to this Section 9.5 of the Partnership Agreement), such General Partner is unconditionally obligated to restore the amount

of such deficit balance to the Partnership by the end of such taxable year (or, if later, within 90 days after the date of such liquidation), which amount shall, upon liquidation of the Partnership, be paid to creditors of the Partnership or distributed to the other Partners in accordance with their positive Capital Account balances.

9.6 Final Report. Within a reasonable time following the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership, the General Partner shall supply to each of the Partners a statement which shall set forth the assets and the liabilities of the Partnership as of the date of complete liquidation and each Partner’s pro rata portion of Distributions.

9.7 Certificate of Cancellation. Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership and the distribution of all Partnership funds, the Partnership shall terminate and the General Partner shall have the authority to execute and file a Certificate of Cancellation of the Partnership as well as any and all other documents required to effectuate the dissolution and termination of the Partnership.

10.1 Books and Records. The General Partner shall maintain or cause to be maintained at the Partnership’s principal place of business and at such other locations required by law complete and accurate books and records with respect to all Partnership business transactions. Each Limited Partner shall have the right to inspect and copy the Partnership’s records in accordance with the Act.

10.2 Fiscal Year and Method of Accounting. Unless otherwise required under Section 706 of the Code, or as determined by the General Partner, the Partnership’s fiscal year for both tax and financial reporting purposes shall end on the last day of August. The method of accounting shall be the accrual method for both tax and financial reporting purposes, unless the General Partner determines otherwise.

10.3 Tax Elections. The General Partner shall have the sole discretion and authority to make or revoke any elections on behalf of the Partnership for tax purposes, including but not limited to, the election referred to in Section 734, 743 and 754 of the Code or any successor provisions. Each of the Partners, upon request, shall supply such information as may be necessary to give proper effect to any such election.

10.4 Tax Matters Partner. If the Partnership is required to have a tax matters Partner under Section 6231 of the Code and corresponding Treasury Regulations, the General Partner is designated as the tax matters Partner of the Partnership. If there is more than one General Partner, the tax matters partner shall be Versa Technologies, Inc. as long as it serves as a General Partner.

11.1 Bank Accounts. Partnership funds shall be deposited in the name of the Partnership in one or more accounts designated by the General Partner, and withdrawals shall be made only by Persons duly authorized by the General Partner.

Any notice, payment, demand or communication required or permitted to be given by any provision of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been delivered, given and received for all purposes (1) on the date of personal delivery if delivered personally to the Person or to an officer of the Person to whom the same is directed or (2) on the date of mailing, whether or not the same is actually received, if sent by registered or certified mail, postage and charges prepaid, addressed as follows, or to such other address as such Person may from time to time specify by notice to the Partnership and the Partners:

(a) If to the Partnership, to the address of its principal place of business set forth in Section 2.4 hereof; or

(b) If to a Partner, to the appropriate address set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 hereof.

11.3 Choice of Law and Severability. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Indiana. If any provision of this Agreement shall be contrary to the laws of Indiana or any other applicable law, at the present time or in the future, such provision shall be deemed null and void, but the same shall not affect the legality of the remaining provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be deemed to be modified and amended so as to be in compliance with applicable law and this Agreement shall then be construed so as to best serve the intention of the parties at the time of the execution of this Agreement.

11.4 Captions, Gender and Number. The captions in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way affect the terms or intent of any provisions of this Agreement. All defined phrases, pronouns and other variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural as the actual identity of the organization, Person or Persons may require.

11.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts. Each such counterpart shall be considered an original, and all of such counterparts shall constitute a single agreement binding the parties as if they had signed a single document.

11.6 Binding Effect. Except as provided to the contrary herein, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Partners and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and heirs and legal representatives, as applicable.

11.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among these Partners regarding its subject matter as of the date hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, statements, understandings and representations of the parties with respect thereto.

11.8 Rights of Creditors. The provisions of this Agreement are not intended to be for the benefit of any creditor (other than a Partner), or any Person (other than a Partner) to whom any debts, liabilities or obligations are owed, or who otherwise has a claim against, the Partnership or a Partner, and no such creditor or other Person shall have any rights under such provisions or shall by reason of such provisions make any claim against the Partnership or a Partner in respect of any of the aforesaid debts, liabilities or obligations.

11.9 Amendments. Except as otherwise required by law, this Agreement may be amended by the General Partner in any respect upon the Affirmative Vote of the Limited Partners, except that this Agreement may not be amended without the vote or written consent of all Limited Partners so as to: (a) Convert any Limited Partner into a General Partner; (b) Modify the limited liability of any Limited Partner; (c) Alter the Interest or Participation Percentage of any General or Limited Partner, including without limitation any right to vote and any interest in Profits or Losses or in Distributions of the Partnership; or (d) Change any of the percentage voting requirements set forth in this Agreement.

11.10 Certificates Representing Interests.
