RESTATED AND AMENDED JOINT VENTURE AND SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, dated April 15, 1998 ("Agreement") by and between NACCO MATERIALS HANDLING GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation with offices at 650 NE Holladay Street, Suite 1600, Portland, Oregon 97232 ("NMHG"), and GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL CORPORATION, a New York corporation with offices at 44 Old Ridgebury Road, Danbury, Connecticut 06810 ("GECC").
BACKGROUND ----------
NMHG is in the business of manufacturing forklift trucks and other equipment, including without limitation, both Yale and Hyster brand name equipment (collectively, the "NMHG Equipment") which is sold and distributed by NMHG and by its dealers ("Dealers").
GECC is in the business of, among other things, providing financing on equipment similar to the NMHG Equipment.
On October 27, 1989, Yale Materials Handling Corporation ("Yale"), acquired, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of such date ("Stock Purchase Agreement"), twenty percent (20%) of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Yale Financial Services, Inc. ("Corporation") from GECC. As a result thereof, the Corporation was then owned twenty percent (20%) by Yale and eighty percent (80%) by GECC.
In conjunction with the above-described stock purchase, Yale and GECC entered into the Joint Venture and Shareholders Agreement ("Original Shareholders Agreement") as of November 8, 1989 which Agreement (and the related agreements executed concurrently therewith; the Original Shareholders Agreement and the related Agreements shall collectively be referred to as the "JV Agreements") related to the internal governance and day-to-day management and operations of the Corporation.
As a result of a corporate reorganization effective as of January 1, 1994, NMHG and Yale entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Yale sold all of its interest in the Corporation to NMHG and assigned to NMHG all of Yale's duties, obligations and benefits under all of the JV Agreements.
NMHG and GECC have now determined to revise the nature of their relationship to areas outside of the United States (which global relationship shall be governed by the terms of an Operating Agreement ("International Operating Agreement") executed between NMHG, GECC and various international affiliates and subsidiaries of GECC and NMHG) and additionally expand the business scope of the Corporation to provide certain types of financing to the Dealers and to the customers of NMHG and/or the Dealers ("Customers") for all types and brands of NMHG Equipment. In conjunction therewith,
Page 1 {PAGE}
NMHG and GECC have determined to amend and restate the Original Agreement and certain of the other JV Agreements.
It is intended that in conjunction with the revision of the JV Agreements, the name of the Corporation shall be changed to NMHG Financial Services, Inc. It is further intended that the Corporation shall operate as two divisions operating under the trade names "Yale Financial Services" ("Yale") and "Hyster Credit" ("Hyster") and the services provided by the Corporation as set forth herein shall be shared by both such divisions.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises and mutual covenants contained hereinbelow, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. FORMATION AND PURPOSES.
(a) On even date herewith, GECC and NMHG each hereby agree to amend and restate this Agreement with NMHG continuing to own twenty percent (20%) and GECC eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation.

NMHG and GECC agree to take all necessary action and will vote their respective shares to so amend and restate the Certificate of Incorporation and the By-Laws.
(b) NMHG and GECC hereby agree that the primary purpose of the Corporation shall be to provide the following types of financial services:
(i) origination and/or acquisition of floor plan and fleet rental financing to the Dealers with respect to their inventory of NMHG Equipment and any related trade-ins ("NMHG Inventory Financing");
(ii) origination and/or acquisition of floor plan and fleet rental financing to the Dealers with respect to their inventory of new and/or used equipment other than NMHG Equipment ("Allied Inventory Financing");
(iii)origination and/or acquisition of parts inventory financing to the Dealers ("Parts Inventory Financing"; the NMHG Inventory Financing, Allied Inventory Financing and Parts Inventory Financing being collectively referred to as "Inventory Financing");

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made as of May 15, 2003, by and among Castle Dental Centers, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), Sentinel Capital Partners II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Sentinel"), General Electric Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("GE"), Midwest Mezzanine Fund II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Midwest"), James M. Usdan ("Usdan"), Thomas Fitzpatrick ("Fitzpatrick"), and John M. Slack ("Slack").
Sentinel, Fitzpatrick, GE, Midwest, Usdan, Slack and the Company are parties to a Preferred Stock and Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the "Purchase Agreement"). In order to induce Sentinel, Fitzpatrick, GE, Midwest, Usdan and Slack to enter into the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide the registration rights set forth in this Agreement. The execution and delivery of this Agreement is a condition to the Closing under the Purchase Agreement. It is acknowledged that certain other parties shall become a party to this agreement following the date hereof in conjunction with such parties' execution of a joinder to the Purchase Agreement and their purchase of certain securities of the Company thereunder.
GE, Midwest, Usdan and the Company are parties to a Registration Rights Agreement dated as of July 19, 2002 (the "Existing Registration Rights Agreement"). By entering into this Agreement, GE, Midwest and Usdan are terminating their rights under the Existing Registration Rights Agreement.
Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in Section 9 hereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows:
1. Demand Registrations.
(a) Requests for Registration. Subject to the terms of this Section 1, at any time and from time to time, the holders of a majority of the Sentinel Registrable Securities may request registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their Registrable Securities. All registrations requested pursuant to this Section 1(a) are referred to herein as "Demand Registrations". Each request for a Demand Registration shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered, the anticipated per share price range for such offering and the intended method of distribution. Within ten days after receipt of any such request, the Company shall give written notice of such requested registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities and, subject to the terms of Section 1(d) hereof, shall include in such registration (and in all related registrations and qualifications under state blue sky laws or in compliance with other registration requirements and in any related underwriting) all Registrable
{PAGE}
Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 15 days after the receipt of the Company's notice.
(b) Long-Form Registrations. The holders of a majority of the Sentinel Registrable Securities shall be entitled to request 2 registrations under the Securities Act on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registrations (the "Long-Form Registrations") in which the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses. A registration shall not count as one of the permitted Long-Form Registrations until it has become effective and the holders of Registrable Securities are able to register at least 90% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration; it being understood and agreed that the requisite holders of Registrable Securities making a request for a Demand Registration hereunder may withdraw from such registration at any time prior to the effective date of such Demand Registration, in which case such request will not count as one of the permitted Demand Registrations for such holders. All Long Form Registrations shall be underwritten registrations.
(c) Short-Form Registrations. In addition to the Long-Form Registrations provided pursuant to Section 1(b), the holders of a majority of the Sentinel Registrable Securities shall be entitled to request 2 registrations under the Securities Act on Form S-2 or S-3 or any similar short-form registrations (the "Short-Form Registrations") in which the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses. Demand Registrations shall be Short-Form Registrations whenever the Company is permitted to use any applicable short form and if the managing underwriters (if any) agree to the use of a Short-Form Registration. The Company shall use its best efforts to make Short-Form Registrations available for the sale of Registrable Securities. A registration shall not count as one of the permitted Short-Form Registrations until it has become effective and the holders of Registrable Securities are able to register at least 90% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration.
(d) Priority on Demand Registrations. The Company shall not include in any Demand Registration any securities which are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities initially requesting such registration. If a Demand Registration is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, which can be sold therein without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, the Company shall include in such registration the number which can be sold which in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, in the following order of priority: (i) first, the Registrable Securities requested to be included, pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder, and (ii) second, other securities requested to be included by holders having registration rights with respect to the Company's securities (including those holders who are granted rights that are subordinate to the rights set forth herein, as described in Section 1(f) below), pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the number of other securities owned by each such holder.

WHEREAS, as a condition and inducement to their willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, UBS and Merger Subsidiary have requested that Stockholder make certain agreements with respect to 31,523,600 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, having one vote per share ("Shares"), of the Company owned of record and beneficially by the Stockholder (such Shares, together with any additional securities of the Company described in Section 4, being referred to herein as the "Subject Shares"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof; and
WHEREAS, in order to induce UBS and Merger Subsidiary to enter into the Merger Agreement, Stockholder is willing to make certain agreements with respect to the Subject Shares;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Voting Agreements. For so long as this Agreement is in effect, at any meeting of stockholders of the Company, however called, including any adjourned or postponed meeting, and in any action by consent of the stockholders of the Company or in any other circumstances upon which a vote, consent or other approval is sought, Stockholder shall vote (or cause to be voted), or, if applicable, give consent or approval with respect to, all of the Subject Shares that Stockholder has the right to vote in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Merger and any other transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Any such vote shall be cast or consent shall be given for purposes of this Section 1 in accordance with such procedures relating thereto as shall ensure that it is duly counted for purposes of determining that a quorum is present and for purposes of recording in accordance herewith the results of such vote or consent.
{PAGE}
2. Covenants. From and after the date of this Agreement, Stockholder agrees not to, and to use best efforts to cause any investment banker, attorney or other adviser or representative of Stockholder not to, (i) sell, transfer, exchange, pledge, assign, hypothecate, encumber, tender or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement with respect to the sale, transfer, exchange, pledge, assignment, hypothecation, encumbrance, tender or other disposition of the Subject Shares, except that Stockholder may transfer Subject Shares to any subsidiary of Parent; provided, that such transferee has agreed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement; (ii) exchange or convert Subject Shares for or into shares of non-voting common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company prior to the time the stockholders of the Company have voted on the Merger; (iii) grant any proxies with respect to any Subject Shares, deposit any such Subject Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting or option agreement with respect to any of such Subject Shares; (iv) directly or indirectly, solicit or encourage inquiries or proposals with respect to, or engage in any negotiations concerning, or provide any confidential information to, or have any discussions with, any person relating to, an Acquisition Proposal; or (v) take any action which would make any representation or warranty of Stockholder herein untrue or incorrect or prevent, burden or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(a) Capacity; No Violations. Stockholder has the necessary authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Stockholder, and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Stockholder enforceable against Stockholder in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles; and such execution and delivery and performance by Stockholder of this Agreement will not (i) constitute a breach or violation of, or a default under, or cause or allow the acceleration or creation of a Lien (with or without the giving of notice, passage of time or both) pursuant to, any law, rule or regulation or any judgment, decree, order, governmental or non-governmental permit or license, or any material contract of Stockholder or to which Stockholder or its properties is subject or bound, (ii) constitute a breach or violation of, or a default under, the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents of Stockholder, or (iii) require any consent or approval under any such law, rule, regulation, judgment, decree, order, governmental or non-governmental permit or license or the consent or approval of any other party to any material contract of Stockholder or to which Stockholder

or its properties is subject or bound. In this Agreement, "Lien" shall mean any lien, pledge, security interest, claim, third party right or other encumbrance.
(b) Subject Shares. Stockholder is the record holder of, has sole voting and dispositive power over, and has good and valid title to, the Subject Shares free and clear of all Liens (other than any Lien created by this Agreement) and, except as provided by this Agreement, there are no options or rights to acquire or proxies, voting trusts or voting agreements relating to the Subject Shares to which Stockholder is a party, other than the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement between the Company, Kidder, Peabody Group, Inc., Parent, GECS and Capital, dated August 6, 1997 (as further amended by the letter agreement, dated the date hereof, between the Company, Parent and joined in by GECS Holdings on September 8, 1997, the "Company Stockholder Agreement"). Except as otherwise disclosed on Schedule A to this Agreement, as of the date hereof, the Subject Shares are the only shares of any class of capital stock of the Company which Stockholder has the right, power or authority (sole or shared) to sell or vote, and Stockholder does not have any right to acquire, nor is it the beneficial owner of, any other shares of any class of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of any class of capital stock of the Company, other than capital stock and securities held in any Third Party Account (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement).
