(b) The New Participating Stockholder has the right, power and authority to execute and deliver this Amendment and to perform such New Participating Stockholder’s obligations hereunder and under the Stockholders’ Agreement; if this Amendment is being executed by a trustee on behalf of a trust, such trustee has full right, power and authority to enter into this Amendment on behalf of the trust and to bind the trust and its beneficiaries to the terms hereof; if this Amendment is being executed on behalf of a Participating Stockholder Organization, the person executing this Amendment is a duly authorized representative of such Participating Stockholder Organization with full right, power and authority to execute and deliver this Amendment on behalf of such Participating Stockholder Organization and to bind such Participating Stockholder Organization to the terms hereof; the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment by such New Participating Stockholder will not constitute a violation of, conflict with or result in a default under (i) any contract, understanding or arrangement to which such New Participating Stockholder is a party or by which such New Participating Stockholder is bound or require the consent of any other person or any party pursuant thereto; (ii) any organizational, charter or other governance documents (including, without limitation, any partnership agreement, certificate of incorporation, or bylaws) of the New Participating Stockholder, (iii) any judgment, decree or order applicable to such New Participating Stockholder; or (iv) any law, rule or regulation of any governmental body;

Amendment to HBBHC Stockholders’ Agreement

2. Address for Notices. The address for all notices to each New Participating Stockholder provided pursuant to the Stockholders’ Agreement shall be the address set forth below such New Participating Stockholder’s name on the signature pages hereto, or to such other address as such New Participating Stockholder may specify to the Depository.

3. Agreement to be Bound by Stockholders’ Agreement. The New Participating Stockholder agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of the Stockholders’ Agreement applicable to Participating Stockholders.

4. Beneficiaries. The New Participating Stockholder acknowledges that the Corporation and each Participating Stockholder is a beneficiary of this Amendment.

5. Amendment of Stockholders’ Agreement. The Stockholders’ Agreement is hereby amended to add the New Participating Stockholder as a Participating Stockholder.

6. Signature of Amendment by Trusts, Minors and Incompetents.

(a) In order for a trust exclusively (as defined in Section 1.11 of the Stockholders’ Agreement) for the benefit of a Family Member or Members to be considered a Participating Stockholder:

(i) the trustee and all adult beneficiaries of such trusts having a current trust interest (as well as all Charitable Organization beneficiaries having a current trust interest) shall have previously signed the Stockholders’ Agreement or shall sign this Amendment as a Participating Stockholder;

(ii) the trustee and a parent or legal guardian, for trusts with minor beneficiaries having a current trust interest, shall sign this Amendment on behalf of any such minor beneficiaries; or

(iii) the trustee and legal guardian, if any, for trusts with incompetent beneficiaries having a current trust interest, shall sign this Amendment on behalf of any such incompetent beneficiaries.

(b) If, at any time, any trust shall have an adult beneficiary (and such beneficiary is not incompetent) having a current trust interest or an ascertainable Charitable Organization beneficiary having a current trust interest and if such beneficiary has not previously signed the Stockholders’ Agreement, then if such beneficiary shall fail or be unable to sign this Amendment for a period of 30 calendar days following notification to such beneficiary of the terms of this Amendment and the Stockholders’ Agreement by the Depository and following signature of this Amendment by the trustee, the trust shall thereupon cease to be a Participating Stockholder and Section 3.2 of the Stockholders’ Agreement shall then apply as if the shares of Class B Common Stock held by the trust were then to be converted. The donor of a trust that is revocable by the donor alone, during the lifetime of such donor, shall be considered the only beneficiary thereof so long as such trust is so revocable.

(c) In the case of Class B Common Stock held by a custodian under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (or the practical equivalent thereof) for the benefit of a minor Family Member, the custodian shall sign this Amendment on behalf of such minor if such minor is to be considered a Participating Stockholder.

(d) In the case of Class B Common Stock held in the name of a minor Family Member, a parent or legal guardian of such minor shall sign this Amendment on behalf of such minor if such minor is to be considered a Participating Stockholder.

(e) In the case of Class B Common Stock held in the name of an incompetent Family Member, the legal guardian of such incompetent shall sign this Amendment on behalf of such incompetent if such incompetent is to be considered a Participating Stockholder.

(f) When a minor described in Section 6(c) or(d) reaches the age of majority, or an incompetent described in Section 6(e) is no longer impaired by such disability and has reached the age of majority, such Family Member shall execute and deliver an Amendment which has been executed and delivered by the Participating Stockholders (or their attorney-in-fact), the Corporation and the Depository. If such Family Member shall fail or be unable to sign such Amendment for a period of 30 calendar days following notification to such Family Member of the terms of the Stockholders’ Agreement by the Depository, such Family Member shall thereupon cease to be a Participating Stockholder and Section 3.2 of the Stockholders’ Agreement shall then apply as if the shares of Class B Common Stock were then to be converted.

Amendment to HBBHC Stockholders’ Agreement

7. Power of Attorney. The undersigned New Participating Stockholder hereby constitutes and appoints Alfred M. Rankin, Jr., Lawrence K. Workman, Jr., Brent A. Ashley, Valerie Van Dyke, Jessica Savage and Andrew C. Thomas and each of them, as the true and lawful attorney or attorneys-in-fact, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, for the undersigned and in the name, place and stead of the undersigned, in any and all capacities to:

(a) execute any and all statements under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of beneficial ownership of shares of Class B Common Stock subject to the Stockholders’ Agreement as amended by this Amendment, including all statements on Schedule 13D and all amendments thereto, all joint filing agreements pursuant to Rule 13d-l(k) under such Exchange Act in connection with such statements, all initial statements of beneficial ownership on Form 3 and any and all other documents to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and to file the same, with all exhibits thereto, and all other documents in connection therewith, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and

(b) execute and deliver any and all Amendments whereby a Family Member, Charitable Organization or Participating Stockholder Organization becomes a Participating Stockholder or any other amendment to the Stockholders’ Agreement in accordance with Section 8 of the Stockholders’ Agreement, other than those amendments that (i) extend the term of the Stockholders’ Agreement or(ii) amend Section 2, 3, 4 or 8 of the Stockholders’ Agreement, thereby granting to said attorney or attorneys-in-fact, and each of them, full power and authority to do so and to perform each and every act and thing requisite and necessary to be done in and about the premises, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or could do in person, hereby ratifying and confirming all that said attorney or attorneys-in-fact or any of them, or their substitutes or resubstitutes, may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this Section 7. The grant of this power of attorney shall not be affected by any disability of such undersigned New Participating Stockholder. If applicable law requires additional or substituted language or formalities (including witnesses or acknowledgments) in order to validate the power of attorney intended to be granted by this Section 7, each New Participating Stockholder agrees to execute and deliver such additional instruments and to take such further acts as may be necessary to validate such power of attorney.

8. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument, without production of the others.

Amendment to HBBHC Stockholders’ Agreement

(iii) 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

(iv) Finally, each Partner’s sum or difference determined under (iii), above, will be expressed as a percentage of the aggregate sums or differences of all Partners determined under (iii), above.

(b) The General Partners, based upon such considerations as they, in their sole discretion, determine to be relevant to such valuation, shall determine the Fair Market Value of the Partnership Property and the resulting Partnership Percentages pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 1.77 (such valuation and resulting Partnership Percentages being hereafter referred to as the “Partnership Valuation”).

(c) 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 Independent Appraiser to determine within thirty (30) days of such appointment the Fair Market Value of the Partnership Property and the resulting Partnership Percentages in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 1.77 (the “Partner Appraised Value”). If the Partner Appraised Value is at least eighty percent (80%) of the Partnership Valuation and less than or equal to one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the Partnership Valuation, then the Partnership Percentages shall be based upon the average of the Partnership Valuation and the Partner Appraised Value.

(d) If the Partner Appraised Value is less than eighty percent (80%) of the Partnership Valuation or more than one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the Partnership Valuation, then the General Partners 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 a second Independent Appraiser. The cost of the second Independent Appraiser shall be borne equally by the Partnership and the Partner(s) objecting to the Partnership Valuation. The second Independent Appraiser shall determine within fourteen (14) days after its appointment the Fair Market Value of the Partnership Property and the resulting Partnership Percentages pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 1.77 (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 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.

(e) 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 General Partners reasonably believe to be necessary to protect the interests of the Partnership and its Partners.

(f) The General Partners may establish 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 General Partners, 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.

(g) A Transferee of a Partner shall succeed to that portion of the Transferor’s Partnership Percentage which is Transferred to that Transferee.

1.78 “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.

1.79 “Partnership Representative” has the meaning set forth in Section 5.5(a)(i).

1.80 “Partnership Valuation” has the meaning set forth in Section 1.77(b).

1.81 “Permitted Transferee” means a “Permitted Transferee” under the applicable Certificate of Incorporation of the Partner engaging in a Transfer of Partnership Interests as if such Partner was Transferring Class B Shares of the applicable Company instead of Partnership Interests.

1.82 “Person” means an individual or Entity.

1.83 “Pledgor Partner” means (i) any Partner that (and, if such Partner is a Qualified Trust, including such Qualified Trust’s settlor or beneficiary who) attempts to pledge or grant a security interest, lien or other encumbrance in or against, any or all of the Partner’s Partnership Interest other than to an Authorized Transferee, or (ii) a Partner (and, if such Partner is a Qualified Trust, including such Qualified Trust’s settlor or beneficiary) against which a court has charged or placed a lien against or appointed a receiver or ordered a foreclosure for the benefit of a judgment creditor of such Partner (and, if such Partner is a Qualified Trust, including such Qualified Trust’s settlor or beneficiary), which judgment creditor is not an Authorized Transferee. A Pledgor Partner shall cease to be a Partner, and shall become a Former Partner, immediately prior to the earliest to occur of any events causing such Partner to become a Pledgor Partner.

1.84 “Proportionate Part” means a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate Partnership Percentage held by members of a Family Group who are Authorized Transferees of the applicable Former Partner and the denominator of which is the aggregate Partnership Percentage held by members of all Family Groups who are Authorized Transferees of the

applicable Former Partner.

1.85 “Purchase Price” means the Fair Market Value of the Offered Interests or Repurchase Interests, as the case may be, determined as follows:

(a) Initial Value. The General Partners shall from time to time determine a value for the Partnership Interests (and General Partnership Interests and Limited Partnership Interests may be valued differently as the General Partners determine) (the “Initial Value”) based upon such considerations as they determine to be relevant to such valuation. If a Selling Partner or Former Partner (for purposes of this Section 1.85, the “Objecting Party”) does not provide a written objection to the Partnership concerning the Initial Value set forth in the Valuation Notice within ten (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 ten (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 Independent Appraiser (the “First Appraiser”) to determine within thirty (30) days of such engagement the Fair Market Value of the Partnership Interests (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 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 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 Partnership and the Objecting Party shall, within fourteen (14) days from the date of the First Appraised Value, mutually agree on and engage a second Independent 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 thirty (30) days after its engagement the Fair Market Value of the Partnership Interests, but if such determination is less than the lesser of the Initial Value and the First Appraised Value then the lesser of the Initial Value and the First Appraised value shall be the value or if such determination is greater than the greater of the Initial Value and the First Appraised Value then the greater of the Initial Value and the First Appraised Value shall be the value (the “Final Valuation”). 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) Valuation Guidelines. The Initial Value, First Appraised Value, and Final Valuation shall be based upon the Fair Market Value of the Partnership Interests comprising the Offered Interests or Repurchase Interests. In determining such Fair Market Value, the General Partners and Independent Appraisers, as applicable, shall determine appropriate discounts for lack of control and lack of marketability, as applicable.

(d) 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.

(e) 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 the Partnership may require such appraisers to enter into such confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements as the General Partners reasonably believe to be necessary to protect the interests of the Partnership and its Partners.

(a) the trust is held for the benefit of one or more Family Beneficiaries and any Charitable Organizations and for the benefit of no other Person; provided that such trust may grant general or special powers of appointment to such individual or one or more Family Beneficiaries and may permit trust assets (except as set forth in Section 1.87(b) below) to be used to pay taxes, legacies (including those that are made outright or in trust) and other obligations of the trust or the estate of such individual or such one or more Family Beneficiaries payable by reason of the death of such individual or such one or more Family Beneficiaries; and

(b) such trust prohibits (i) the Transfer of Class B Shares to any Person other than a Permitted Transferee of such trust under the Certificate of Incorporation of each Company whose Class B Shares the Partnership owns and (ii) the Transfer of Partnership Interests to any Person other than Authorized Transferees of such trust. The restriction in subclause (ii) of the prior sentence shall not be interpreted to restrict a beneficiary who is a member of a Family Group from directing that any Partnership Interests he or she is otherwise entitled to receive under such trust be instead transferred to one or more other Qualified Trusts that are Authorized Transferees of the trust at issue.

In addition, (a) a Qualified Trust of a surviving spouse of a Family Group Head or of a Lineal Descendant of a Family Group Head to which Partnership Interests are Transferred in accordance with Section 8.4 shall cease to be a Qualified Trust upon the remarriage of such spouse to an individual other than a Family Group Head or a Lineal Descendant of a Family Group Head, and (b) a Qualified Trust of a spouse of a Family Group Head or a of Lineal Descendant of a Family Group Head that is a Partner as of the date of this Agreement or to which Partnership Interests are Transferred in accordance with Section 8.4 after the date of this Agreement shall cease to be a Qualified Trust upon legal separation, divorce or dissolution of such spouse’s marriage to such Family Group Head or Lineal Descendant.

A Qualified Trust shall continue to be a Qualified Trust upon the termination of the trust and during a reasonable period of administration unless by reason of such termination the restrictions set forth in this Section 1.87 would not be met.

The General Partners shall be furnished with a copy of the trust instrument or any other governing documents or disclosures of beneficial interest which the General Partners may reasonably request to confirm that the trust in question is or remains a Qualified Trust. If the General Partners do not receive the requested governing documents or other disclosures of beneficial interest within sixty

(60) days following the written request therefor, the trust shall cease to be a “Qualified Trust”.

A trust shall cease to be a Qualified Trust and shall be deemed, to the extent it holds Partnership Interests, to become a Former Partner, immediately prior to any event or lapse of time which causes such trust to no longer be a Qualified Trust as defined in this Section 1.87.

3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each Partner, in order to induce the other Partners to enter into this Agreement, hereby represents and warrants to the other Partners that:

3.1 Validity of Agreement. This Agreement, and each and every other agreement, document and instrument provided for herein and to which such Partner is or shall be a party, when executed and delivered, shall constitute the valid and binding obligation of such Partner, enforceable against such Partner in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by (a) bankruptcy or similar laws from time to time in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or (b) the availability of equitable remedies generally.

3.2 No Violation of Material Instruments. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Partner does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall not, 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 it is bound or its assets affected; or 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.

3.3 Status as a Qualified Entity/Qualified Trust and “Participating Stockholder”. As of the date hereof, (i) such Partner is a Qualified Entity or Qualified Trust of Clara T. Rankin or of a member of a Family Group and no event has occurred that would cause such Partner to become a Former Partner and (ii) such Partner is a Participating Stockholder of each Company in which the Partnership owns Class B Shares and no event has occurred that would cause such Partner, upon the lapse of time or the receipt of notice, or both, to cease to be a Participating Stockholder in each such Company. As of the date on which any Authorized Transferee becomes a Partner, such Partner shall be deemed to make the representations contained in the preceding sentence.

4. CAPITAL.

4.1 Initial Contributions; Tracking of Partnership Percentages.

(a) As of the date set forth in Schedule A, 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 were 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 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 Limited Partner are set forth in Schedule A attached hereto. The Partners acknowledge and agree 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, have in good faith determined the Fair Market Value of such properties, and that Schedule A accurately reflects, as of the date of this Agreement (taking into account the date of funding set forth in Schedule A), the identity of each Partner, the Partnership Percentage of each Partner and the extent to which such Partnership Percentages represent General Partnership Interests or Limited Partnership Interests.

(b) The General Partners shall at all times maintain a current list of the Partnership Percentages of all Partners. Such list shall be attached to this Agreement as Schedule A.

4.2 Additional Contributions.

(a) 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 provided in Section 4.2(b)), the Partners may, from time to time, make such additional Capital Contributions as may be necessary or desirable in the discretion of the General Partners; provided, however, that any property contributed to the Partnership under this Section 4.2(a) 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 the General Partners 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 1.77 to reflect the disproportionate additional Capital Contributions. Class B Shares shall not be contributed to the Partnership unless each Partner is a Permitted Transferee, eligible to be a Partner of the Partnership without causing such Class B Shares to be converted into Class A Shares pursuant to the applicable Certificate of Incorporation and a Participating Stockholder with respect to the applicable Company.

(b) 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 shall be credited with the Capital Contribution 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. A Transferee shall succeed to an allocable portion of the Capital Account of the Transferor which is Transferred to such Transferee, and the Capital Account of the Transferor shall be reduced by a corresponding amount. 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) Except as provided in this Agreement, no Partner shall have the right to withdraw from its Capital Account or to otherwise receive any Partnership funds or Partnership Property. As provided in Section 12.5, each Partner expressly waives any right to partition the Partnership Property which it may otherwise have.

(d) A Partner shall be required to eliminate in any fashion approved in good faith by the General Partners 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 Treasury regulations issued under Section 704(b) of the Code, gross income of the Partnership or gain from a sale of assets shall be allocated to such Limited Partner 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 Treasury regulations under Code Section 704(b). It is the intent of the Partners that any allocation pursuant to this Section 4.3(d) 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 (i) disproportionate Capital Contribution, (ii) disproportionate distribution, (iii) Transfer of a Partnership Interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or (iv) Withdrawal Event. 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 respective 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, or (ii) an amount corresponding to the income tax liabilities of the Partners resulting from the allocation of Net Income (as such amount shall be

determined in good faith by the General Partners by assuming that all Partners are in the highest marginal federal income tax bracket and by using the highest marginal income tax rates for the state of residence of the Partner with the highest marginal state income tax rates). The Partnership shall make such distributions from time to time during each year as the General Partners determine, provided that the Partnership must distribute quarterly at least fifteen (15) 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).

(b) All distributions shall be made in proportion to the Partners’ respective Partnership Percentages except (i) when the General Partners approve the disproportionate distribution or (ii) with respect to any payment of Class A Shares by the Partnership pursuant to Section 7.4 or 8.8(a). The General Partners are 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) of this Agreement, the General Partners are 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 General Partners, 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 or Section 1.77(f), a distribution among the Partners which is not in proportion to Partnership Percentages shall be regarded as disproportionate. In the event that a disproportionate distribution occurs, the General Partners shall appropriately adjust the Capital Accounts of the Partners to reflect such disproportionate distribution. Except in the case of a disproportionate distribution attributable to the income tax liabilities resulting from special allocations under Section 704(c) of the Code, such adjustment shall be determined as though the Partnership had redeemed a fraction of the Partnership Interest corresponding to the amount of the distribution that is disproportionate. This adjustment of Capital Accounts, and thus Partnership Interests, shall be in addition to the adjustment in Partnership Percentages.

4.6 No Right to Return of Capital. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Partners shall not have the right to (a) demand the return of all or any portion of their respective Capital Contributions or (b) demand or receive property other than cash in return for their respective Capital Contributions.

5. MANAGEMENT.

5.1 Management of Partnership Business. The General Partners shall be responsible for managing and conducting the ordinary and usual business and affairs of the Partnership; provided, however, if there is more than one (1) General Partner within a Family Group, the General Partners within that Family Group shall, by the vote of General Partners owning a majority of the General Partnership Interests held by such General Partners, designate one (1) representative for that Family Group (the “GP Representative”). The GP Representative for a Family Group shall be delegated all management, right, power and authority of the General Partners that comprise that Family Group and shall attend the meetings of the General Partners. The intention of the concept of GP Representatives is to create a structure so that each Family Group has a single representative

for the General Partners within that Family Group so that there can be efficiency in the management of the Partnership. A GP Representative may invite an observer to each meeting of the General Partners. The observer may be a different person at each meeting.

The General Partners within a Family Group may remove the GP Representative for that Family Group at any time and for any reason or no reason by the vote of the General Partners owning a majority of the General Partnership Interests held by such General Partners, and designate a new GP Representative by the same voting requirement. Unless otherwise required by law or provided in this Agreement, all actions, approvals and consents to be taken or given by the General Partners require the affirmative vote or written consent of the General Partners owning at least a majority of the General Partnership Interests.

5.2 Admission of New General Partners. A General Partner may transfer its General Partnership Interest in accordance with Section 8. An Authorized Transferee of a General Partner in the same Family Group as the transferring General Partner or an Authorized Transferee of a General Partner contemplated by the last sentence of Section 1.7 shall be automatically admitted as a General Partner upon the Transfer of General Partnership Interests to such Authorized Transferee. Except for an Authorized Transferee of a General Partner in the same Family Group as such General Partner or an Authorized Transferee of a General Partner contemplated by the last sentence of Section 1.7, no Person shall be admitted as a General Partner of the Partnership without the consent of the General Partners.

5.3 Removal of General Partner; Reliance By Others; Obligation to Inform.

(a) Any General Partner may be removed only by and with the consent of the Partners owning not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of all Partnership Interests.

(b) Any Person dealing in good faith with the Partnership may conclusively rely upon any writing signed by one or more Persons certifying (i) that such signing Person is a General Partner then serving and (ii) that such signing Person is acting in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) The General Partners shall keep the other Partners informed on a timely basis as to all significant matters of concern to the Partnership.

5.4 Compensation of General Partners. The General Partners shall not be entitled to any compensation for performance of duties under this Agreement as General Partners. The Partnership shall reimburse the General Partners at cost for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of duties under this Agreement.

5.5 Tax Matters.

(a) Partnership Representative.

(i) Designated by General Partners. The General Partners shall designate a partnership representative and, if such partnership representative is not an individual, a designated individual to act under Section 6223 of the Code and in any similar capacity under state, local or non-U.S. law, as applicable. Either or

both of the partnership representative and any designated individual (together, the “Partnership Representative”) may be removed and replaced by the General Partners at any time in their sole discretion and shall not resign without providing prior written notice to the General Partners. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, the Partnership Representative shall apply the provisions of subchapter C of Chapter 63 of the Code or similar provisions of state, local or non-U.S. tax law, with respect to any audit, imputed underpayment, other adjustment, or any such decision or action by the Internal Revenue Service (or other tax authority) with respect to the Partnership or the Partners for such taxable years, in the manner determined by the Partnership Representative with the approval of the General Partners.

(ii) Authority. Except as provided in Section 5.6, the Partners shall have no claim against the Partnership or Partnership Representative for any form of damages or liability as a result of actions taken or remedies pursued by or on behalf of the Partnership in order to comply with the rules under subchapter C of Chapter 63 of the Code or similar provisions of state, local or non-U.S. law.

(iii) Duty to Inform Partners. The Partnership Representative shall keep the Partners informed of any inquiries, audits, other proceedings or tax deficiencies assessed or proposed to be assessed (of which the Partnership Representative is actually aware) by any taxing authority against the Partnership or the Partners.

(b) Election Out of Partnership Audit Procedures.

If such election is made the Partnership Representative shall provide the proper notice to each Partner in accordance with Section 6221(b)(1)(E) of the Code.

(c) Partnership Level Assessments.

(ii) Issue Adjusted Schedules K-1. Alternatively, with the approval of

the General Partners, the Partnership Representative may elect under Section 6226 of the Code to cause the Partnership to issue adjusted Internal Revenue Service Schedules “K-1” (or such other form as applicable) reflecting a Partner’s shares of any IRS Adjustment.

(ii) Each Partner which is itself treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes shall use commercially reasonable efforts to impose the requirements of Section 5.5(d)(i) upon its direct and indirect partners.

Each Partner does hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership, each General Partner, and Partnership Representative from and against any liability with respect to the Partner’s proportionate share of any Imputed Tax Underpayment or other IRS Adjustment resulting in liability of the Partnership, regardless of whether such Partner is a Partner in the Partnership in an Adjustment Year, with such proportionate share as reasonably determined by the General Partners, including the General Partners’ reasonable discretion to consider each Partner’s interest in the Partnership in the Reviewed Year and a Partner’s timely provision of information necessary to reduce the amount of Imputed Tax Underpayment set forth in Section 6225(c) of the Code. This obligation shall survive a Partner’s ceasing to be a Partner of the Partnership and/or the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Partnership.

(f) Indemnification for Lower-Tier IRS Adjustments. Each Partner does hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership, each General Partner, and Partnership Representative from and against any liability with respect to the Partner’s proportionate share of any item of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit of the Partnership or any Partner’s distributive share thereof reported on an adjusted Internal Revenue Service Schedule K-1 received by the Partnership with respect to any entity in which the Partnership holds an ownership interest and which results in liability of the Partnership, regardless of whether such Partner is a Partner in the Partnership in an Adjustment Year, with such proportionate share as reasonably determined by the General Partners, including the General Partners’ reasonable discretion to consider each Partner’s interest in the Partnership in the Reviewed Year and a Partner’s timely provision of information necessary to reduce the amount of Imputed Tax Underpayment set forth in Section 6225(c) of the Code. This obligation shall survive a Partner’s ceasing to be a Partner of the Partnership and/or the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the

Partnership.

A Person’s liability hereunder shall be limited only for those actions taken or omitted to be taken by such Person in connection with the organization of the Partnership or the management of the business and affairs of the Partnership. The provisions of this Section 5.6 are not intended to limit the liability of any Person in any other connection, including, but not limited to, any obligations of such Person undertaken as a Partner in this Agreement or any contract with the Partnership.

The Partnership shall indemnify each Person who has been or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or appellate (regardless of whether such action, suit or proceeding is by or in the right of the Partnership or by third parties), by reason of the fact that such Person is or was a Partner, GP Representative, trustee of a Partner, direct or indirect officer or employee of the Partnership or organizer of the Partnership, against all liabilities and expenses, including, without limitation, judgments, amounts paid in settlement, attorneys’ fees, excise taxes or penalties under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, fines and other expenses, actually and reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding (including, without limitation, the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such action, suit or proceeding); provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be required to indemnify or advance expenses to any Person from or on account of such Person’s conduct that is finally adjudged to have been knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or grossly negligent, or to have involved willful misconduct; provided, further, that the Partnership shall not be required to indemnify or advance expenses to any Person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding initiated by such Person unless the initiation of such action, suit or proceeding was authorized in advance by the Partnership; and provided, finally, that a Person shall be indemnified hereunder only for those

actions taken or omitted to be taken by such Person in connection with the discharge of such Person’s obligations for the organization of the Partnership or the management of the business and affairs of the Partnership and that the provisions of this Section 5.7 are not intended to extend indemnification to any Partner or other Person for any obligations of such Partner or other Person undertaken in this Agreement.

7.2 Notice by Former Partner. Immediately after the occurrence of a Withdrawal Event with respect to any Former Partner, such Former Partner shall notify the Partnership of the Withdrawal Event.

7.3 Effect of Withdrawal Events on Voting. If any vote of the General Partners, the Limited Partners or the Partners is required under this Agreement or the Act after a Withdrawal Event but prior to the Closing of the Repurchase Obligation arising from such Withdrawal Event, then solely for purposes of determining whether the requisite approval of the General Partners, Limited Partners or the Partners has been obtained, the applicable Partnership Interests held by the Former Partner immediately prior to the Withdrawal Event shall be deemed to have been repurchased by the Partnership.

7.4 Payment of Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, at the Closing related to a Repurchase Obligation, the Partnership and each Partner electing to purchase Repurchase Interests shall pay to the Former Partner, in addition to the Purchase Price, pro-rated interest, calculated from the date of the Withdrawal Event up to the date of the Closing, at an annual rate equal to the annual short-term applicable federal rate in effect at the date of the Withdrawal Event as provided under Section 7872 of the Code. The interest may be paid in cash or Class A Shares on the same basis as is provided in Section 8.8 with respect to payment of the Purchase Price.

8. TRANSFER OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS.

8.1 Securities Laws. Each Partner acknowledges that its Partnership Interest was offered and sold in reliance upon the representation, hereby affirmed, that such Partnership Interest is being acquired for investment for such Partner’s own account or in its fiduciary capacity for a fiduciary account, as appropriate, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, the distribution of such Partnership Interest or any interest therein. Each Partner also acknowledges that such Partner’s Partnership Interest has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) or any state securities laws. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, but subject to express written waiver by the General Partners in the exercise of their reasonable judgment, no portion of or interest in any Partnership Interest may be offered for sale or be the subject of a Transfer without the registration of the Partnership Interest under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, unless the Partnership shall have received such assurances satisfactory to the General Partners that such Transfer of Partnership Interests does not violate the Securities Act, any state securities laws or any other law applicable to the Partnership, which assurances may include, without limitation, such legal opinions which they in their good faith and reasonable discretion deem appropriate in light of the facts and circumstances relating to such proposed Transfer of Partnership Interests, together with such representations, warranties and indemnifications from the Transferor and the Transferee as the General Partners in their good faith and reasonable discretion deem 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 Partnership and the other Partners from any liability resulting from any such Transfer of Partnership Interests. Such opinions, representations, warranties and indemnities may include, without limitation, assurance that the Transfer of Partnership Interests is exempt from any registration or qualification provisions arising under applicable federal and state securities laws and would not require the registration or qualification of the Partnership Interest under any such laws.

8.2 Restriction on Transfers. No Partner shall Transfer or attempt to Transfer any of the Partnership Interests now owned or hereafter acquired by such Partner except to an Authorized Transferee of such Partner in accordance with this Agreement. In the event of any purported or attempted Transfer of Partnership Interests that does not comply with this Agreement, the purported transferee or successor by operation of law shall not be deemed to be a Partner of the Partnership for any purpose and shall not be entitled to any of the rights of a Partner of the Partnership, including, without limitation, the right to vote the Partnership Interests or to receive a certificate for Partnership Interests or any distributions of any kind on or with respect to Partnership Interests. Any purported or attempted Transfer of Partnership Interests made other than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be void ab initio and the last holder of record who acquired such Partnership Interests in a manner not contrary to the provisions of this Agreement shall be recognized as the holder of such Partnership Interests for all purposes and the Partnership Interests shall continue to be treated as Partnership Interests for all purposes under this Agreement, shall be deemed owned by such recognized holder for purposes of the operation of this Agreement and shall continue to be subject to the terms of this Agreement. The substitution of a trustee of a Partner shall not be prohibited by this Section 8.2, provided that the substitute trustee has executed and delivered to the Partnership a counterpart of this Agreement agreeing to be subject to the restrictions and obligations of a Partner hereunder and to hold all Partnership Interests then owned or later acquired by such Partner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

8.3 Unrestricted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (other than Section 8.1, which will apply to any Transfer of Partnership Interests), each Partner shall be entitled to Transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interests to any Authorized Transferee of such Partner who is a member of the same Family Group as such Partner and such Transfer to any such Authorized Transferee shall not need to comply with any other provision of this Agreement, except that (a) any Transfer of all or any portion of a Partnership Interest representing an interest as a Limited Partner to a Qualified Trust of the spouse or surviving spouse of a Family Group Head or of a Lineal Descendant of a Family Group Head must be made in accordance with Section 8.4 (and cannot be made pursuant to this Section 8.3) and (b) such Authorized Transferee must prior to or at the time of such Transfer execute and deliver to the Partnership a counterpart of this Agreement agreeing to be subject to the restrictions and obligations of a Partner hereunder and to hold all Partnership Interests then owned or later acquired by such Authorized Transferee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any Partner that elects to Transfer a Partnership Interest to any such Authorized Transferee pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall prior to such Transfer provide written notice to the General Partner of such Transfer.

8.4 Transfer to Qualified Trust of a Spouse. With the prior written consent of the General Partners (which may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the General Partners), a Partner may Transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest representing an interest as a Limited Partner, but not as a General Partner, to a Qualified Trust of the spouse of a Family Group Head or of a Lineal Descendant of a Family Group Head that is (a) a Permitted Transferee, (b) eligible to be a Partner of the Partnership in compliance with the Certificate of Incorporation of each Company in which the Partnership owns shares and (c) a Participating Stockholder of each Company in which the Partnership owns Class B Shares.

In no event shall any Selling Partner Transfer, or attempt to Transfer, any Waived Partnership Interests to a Person who is not an Authorized Transferee of the Selling Partner.

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.5, a Qualified Entity shall not have a Purchase Right.

(A) The amount of Repurchase Interests which the Family Holders of such Family Group elected to purchase but which were not allocated to them by reason of subsection (ii) above, or

(B) That portion of the Outstanding Remaining Interests represented by a fraction the numerator of which is the percentage of Partnership Interests held by Family Holders of such Family Group who are Authorized Transferees (prior to such allocation), and the denominator of which is the percentage of Partnership Interests held by Family Holders of all Family Groups who are Authorized Transferees which have elected to purchase an amount of Repurchase Interests in excess of the amount of those Repurchase Interests previously allocated to them under this Section 8.7.

(iv) Any Partnership Interests 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 Repurchase Interests, as the case may be, which Family Holders have elected to purchase have been allocated, or (B) there remains only Family Holders of one Family Group which have not been allocated all of the Repurchase Interests they have elected to purchase, in which event all of the then unallocated Repurchase Interests shall be collectively allocated to the Family Holders of such Family Group up to the amount that such Family Holders elected to purchase.

(i) First, in the case of Original Family Members, to Family Holders that are Original Family Members as follows:

(A)

If the Offered Interests or Repurchase Interests are General Partnership Interests, to Family Holders that are Original Family Members who own General Partnership Interests in proportion to the aggregate ownership of General Partnership Interests by those Family Holders, and if any such interests remain after such allocation, to Family Holders that are Original Family Members who own Limited Partnership Interests in proportion to the aggregate ownership of Limited Partnership Interests by those Family Holders; and

(B)

If the Offered Interests or Repurchase Interests are Limited Partnership Interests, to Family Holders that are Original Family Members in proportion to their aggregate ownership of Partnership Interests; and

(ii) immediately available United States funds equal to that portion of the Purchase Price not paid by delivery of Class A Shares.

8.11 Exceptions.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the occurrence of an event described in Section 1.36, pursuant to which a Partner ceases to be a Partner and is thereafter treated as a Former Partner, shall not give rise to Purchase Rights under Section 8.5 but instead shall give rise to the Repurchase Obligation under Section 8.6.

In the event that the Partnership is dissolved, the assets of the Partnership shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the Fair Market Value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom, together with any assets distributed in kind, shall be distributed (i) first to creditors to satisfy all debts and liabilities of the Partnership other than loans or advances made by the Partners to the Partnership, (ii) then to the establishment of reserves deemed reasonably necessary by the General Partners to satisfy contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership, (iii) then to the repayment of any loans or advances made by the Partners to the Partnership, (iv) with the balance, if any, to be distributed in accordance with the balances in each Partner’s Capital Account at that time. Solely for the purposes of determining the balances of the Partner’s Capital Accounts at that time, any Partnership Property that is distributed in kind shall be treated as though such Partnership Property were sold for its Fair Market Value as of the date of distribution, as determined by an Independent Appraiser. Upon completion of the foregoing, the Partnership shall be terminated.

10.2 Limitation On In Kind Distributions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no distribution in kind of Class B Shares held by the Partnership shall be made unless such distribution by the Partnership is permitted under the applicable Certificate of Incorporation.

10.3 Continuation of Business. Neither the Transfer of any Partnership Interest pursuant to Article 8 hereof nor the bankruptcy or withdrawal of a Partner shall cause the dissolution or termination of the Partnership or have any effect upon the continuance of the Partnership business. No Partner shall have a right to withdraw from the Partnership or to abandon any Partnership Interest.

11. POWER OF ATTORNEY.

11.1 Grant of Power.

(a) Each Partner by its signature below irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints each General Partner its true and lawful attorney in its name, place and stead in any capacities, with the power from time to time to substitute or resubstitute one or more others as such attorney, and to make, execute, swear to, acknowledge, verify, deliver, file, record and publish any and all documents, certificates or other instruments which may be required or deemed desirable by the General Partners to (i) effectuate the provisions of any part of this Agreement or any

amendments to this Agreement, (ii) enable the Partnership to conduct its business, (iii) comply with any applicable law in connection with the Partnership’s conduct of its business, or (iv) retain professional services, including accounting and legal counsel, for the Partnership (including, without limitation, the waiver on behalf of the Partnership and each Partner of any conflict arising from such professional’s representation of another client on matters in which the interests of the Partnership, any Partner or any affiliate of the Partnership or any Partner may be adverse to such other client).

(b) If the Partnership owns Class A Shares or Class B Shares, then each Partner by its signature below irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints each of Alfred M. Rankin, Jr., Roger F. Rankin, Thomas T. Rankin, Claiborne R. Rankin, each then serving director of Rankin Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation, or its successor in interest, and the then serving general counsel of each Company, its true and lawful attorney in its name, place and stead in any capacities, with the power from time to time to substitute or resubstitute one or more others as such attorney, to execute any and all statements under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, of beneficial ownership of Class A Shares and Class B Shares by the Partnership and its Partners, including all statements on Schedule 13D and all amendments thereto, all joint filing agreements pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(1) under such Act in connection with such statements, all initial statements of and changes of beneficial ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 and any and all other documents to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and to file the same, with all exhibits thereto, and all other documents in connection therewith, with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(c) Each Partner grants to said attorney or attorneys-in-fact, and each of them, full power and authority to do so and to perform each and every act and thing requisite and necessary to be done in and about the premises, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or could do in person, hereby ratifying and confirming all that said attorney or attorneys-in-fact or any of them or their substitutes or resubstitutes, may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this Section 11.1.

11.2 Irrevocable Nature. It is expressly intended by each Partner that the foregoing power of attorney is a special power of attorney coupled with an interest in favor of each of those appointed as attorney-in-fact on its behalf, and as such shall be irrevocable and shall survive such Partner’s dissolution or other termination of existence.

11.3 Further Assurances-Power of Attorney. If applicable law requires additional or substituted language in order to validate the power of attorney intended to be granted by this Article 11, each Partner agrees to execute and deliver such additional instruments and to take such further acts as may be necessary to validate such power of attorney.

11.4 Transfer of Partnership Interests. The foregoing power of attorney shall survive the delivery of an instrument of transfer by any Partner of the whole or any portion of or interest in its Partnership Interest, except that (i) where a Partner becomes a Former Partner, or (ii) where a Transferee of such Partnership Interest has been approved as a successor Partner and the Transferor shall thereupon cease being a Partner (all in accordance with this Agreement), then the power of attorney of the Former Partner or the Transferor Partner, as the case may be, shall survive the cessation of Partner status or the delivery of such instrument of transfer, as the case may be, for

the sole purpose of enabling the attorneys-in-fact for such Former Partner or the Transferor Partner (or any of them) to execute, swear to, acknowledge and file any and all instruments necessary to effectuate or reflect such cessation, transfer and succession.

12. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

12.1 Obtaining Partner Approvals of Partnership Actions. The requisite approval of the General Partners or Partners, whichever is appropriate, may take the form of the approval of an outline of the general terms of the transaction, and the negotiation of detailed terms may be delegated to the General Partners or to any one or more specified Partners, or the approval may be in the form of a blanket delegation of authority to the General Partners or to any one or more specified Partners to act on behalf of the Partnership in regard to a particular transaction that is being considered.

12.2 Corporate Transparency Act. Each Partner shall promptly, but within not more than five (5) days:

(a) Provide to the General Partners any information that the General Partners deem necessary or advisable to obtain from such Partner in order for the Partnership to comply with the CTA, including:

(i) Such Partner’s, or with respect to a Partner that is an Entity, each of such Entity’s Indirect Owners’, true and correct CTA Information or the true and correct FinCEN Identifier assigned to them by FinCEN; and

(ii) Such information or documents as may be necessary in order for the Partnership to determine whether such Partner or any of such Partner’s Indirect Owners or controllers are Beneficial Owners of the Partnership (collectively, “Beneficial Ownership Information”).

(b) Notify the General Partners of any change or inaccuracy in or to any of such Partner’s, or in the case of a Partner that is an Entity, any of such Entity’s Indirect Owners’, CTA Information most recently provided to the Partnership, including:

(i) A change in such Partner’s or Indirect Owner’s legal name, date of birth or residential street address;

(ii) A change in the name, date of birth, address or unique identifying number on such Partner’s or Indirect Owner’s Acceptable Identification Document; or

(iii) In the case of a Partner that is an Entity, as may result from a change in the direct or indirect ownership or control of such Entity.

(c) Notify the General Partners of any amendment, modification, supplement or other change in or to any Beneficial Ownership Information previously provided by such Partner to the Partnership.

12.3 Arbitration. Any Arbitrable Dispute shall be finally settled by arbitration under the then applicable Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, by one or more arbitrators agreed upon by the parties or, in the absence of such an agreement, appointed in accordance with such Rules. The arbitration proceedings shall be held in Cleveland, Ohio. Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction and application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of such award and an order of enforcement as the case may be. The Partners hereby agree that the rendering of an award by the arbitrator or arbitrators shall be a condition precedent to the initiation of any legal proceedings with respect to any Arbitrable Dispute.

12.4 Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing (including electronic mail) and shall be deemed to have been given (a) when the same are delivered in person, (b) on the business day of receipt by electronic mail, (c) one business day after being sent by express or overnight mail, or (d) three business days after being deposited in the United States first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Partners at the addresses (including electronic mail addresses) set forth in Schedule B attached hereto, and to the Partnership at the address of its principal office (or the electronic email address of each General Partner), or at such other address as the General Partners may from time to time determine. A delivery receipt shall be conclusive evidence that the respective mailing (or electronic mail) has in fact been delivered and the date thereof. Any Partner may change its address for notices by designating a new address by notice given to the other Partners and the Partnership in accordance with this Section 12.4.

12.5 Waiver of Right to Partition. The Partners, by execution of this Agreement, waive their respective rights to partition of the Partnership Property.

12.6 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective Transferees.

12.7 Headings. The section headings in this Agreement are inserted solely as a matter of convenience and for reference, and are not a substantive part of this Agreement.

12.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersedes and cancels any oral representations, warranties, or communications among any parties hereto regarding the transactions contemplated hereby and the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part only by the mutual written agreement of the General Partners owning not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the General Partnership Interests and any such amendment shall be binding upon all of the Partners; provided, however, that if the amendment or modification would have an adverse effect on a holder of Limited Partnership Interests as compared to a holder of General Partnership Interests, the mutual written agreement of Limited Partners owning not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the Limited Partnership Interests shall be required. The obligations and rights of any party hereunder may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) by the written consent of such party. Notwithstanding the prior provisions of this Section 12.8, the General Partners may, without the consent of any other party, amend Schedule A and Schedule B as necessary to reflect the addition of any new Partners, any additional Capital Contributions by existing Partners, any change in Partnership Percentages by reason of disproportionate additional Capital Contributions or distributions or any Transfers of Partnership

Interests, in each case as effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

12.9 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

12.10 Counterparts and Electronic Signatures. This Agreement and any documents executed in connection herewith may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may also be executed via electronic signature software (such as DocuSign).

12.11 Interpretation. All pronouns used herein shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter gender as the context requires. All references herein to singular nouns shall, to the extent necessary, refer to the plural nouns and all references herein to plural nouns shall, to the extent necessary, refer to the singular noun.

12.12 Remedies Cumulative. All rights and remedies granted to the Partnership or to any Partner hereunder shall be cumulative with, and not in derogation of or exclusive of, any rights and remedies which may be available by operation of law or otherwise.

12.13 Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto agrees to execute and deliver such instruments, and to take such other actions, as shall be necessary or appropriate in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or the operation of the Partnership.

12.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to any other Person or circumstance shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention that the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.
