II.      SPIN-OFF
2.1    The Spin-Off.  Subject to the satisfaction, or to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI, the Board of Directors of Parent (the “Parent Board”) has established the Record Date and the Spin-Off Date and any procedures it determined to be necessary or appropriate in connection therewith.
2.2    HY Share Issuance.  Prior to the Spin-Off Date, Parent will take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to issue to Parent such number of shares of HY Common Stock, including, if applicable, by reclassifying the outstanding shares of HY Common Stock (the “Share Issuance”), for the purpose of increasing the outstanding shares of HY Common Stock such that, immediately prior to the Spin-Off Date, HY will have not less than an aggregate number of outstanding shares of HY Class A Common Stock and HY Class B Common Stock that is equal to one share of HY Class A Common Stock and one share of HY Class B Common Stock for each share of Parent Common Stock issued and outstanding on the Record Date.
2.3    Delivery of Shares to the Agent.  On or prior to the Spin-Off Date, Parent will authorize the book-entry transfer by Parent’s transfer agent, (the “Agent”) of all of the outstanding shares of HY Common Stock to be distributed in connection with the Spin-Off.  After the Spin-Off Date, upon the request of the Agent, HY will provide all book-entry transfer authorizations that the Agent requires in order to effect the Spin-Off of the shares of HY Common Stock to Parent stockholders.
2.4    The Spin-Off.  (a) On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, following consummation of the Share Issuance, the Parent Board will declare and Parent will distribute and pay all of the shares of HY Common Stock held by Parent to Parent stockholders at a rate of one share of HY Class A Common Stock and one share of HY Class B Common Stock to each holder of Parent Common Stock then outstanding.  Until the consummation of the Spin-Off, Parent will own and the Agent will hold the shares of HY Common Stock as nominee on behalf of and for the benefit of Parent.  Upon consummation of the Spin-Off, pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms hereof, the Agent will distribute by book-entry transfer (i) in respect of 

5

each outstanding share of Parent Class A Common Stock held by holders of record of Parent Class A Common Stock on the Record Date, one share of HY Class A Common Stock and one share of HY Class B Common Stock and (ii) in respect of each outstanding share of Parent Class B Common Stock held by holders of record of Parent Class B Common Stock on the Record Date, one share of HY Class A Common Stock and one share of HY Class B Common Stock.
(b)    In addition, HY will deliver to Parent one share of HY Class A Common Stock and one share of HY Class B Common Stock for each share of Parent Common Stock (if any) reserved for issuance upon exercise of any option, conversion right or other right existing as of the Record Date.
2.5    Fractional Shares.  No certificate representing fractional shares of HY Common Stock will be issued as part of the Spin-Off.  Each holder of Parent Common Stock who otherwise would have been entitled to a fraction of a share of HY Class A Common Stock or HY Class B Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.4 (after aggregating all of such Person’s shares of HY Class A Common and aggregating all of such Person’s shares of HY Class B Common Stock immediately prior to the consummation of the Spin-Off) will receive a cash payment in lieu of such fractional shares.  Parent will instruct the Agent to (i) determine the number of whole shares and fractional shares of HY Class A Common Stock and HY Class B Common Stock allocable to each holder of record or beneficial owner of Parent Common Stock on the Spin-Off Date, (ii) aggregate all such fractional shares into whole shares of HY Class A Common Stock and HY Class B Common Stock, (iii) convert the whole shares of HY Class B Common Stock into shares of HY Class A Common Stock, (iv) sell the whole shares of HY Class A Common Stock obtained in clauses (ii) and (iii) in the open market on behalf of holders of record or beneficial owners who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares of HY Common Stock, and (v) distribute to each such holder or for the benefit of each such beneficial owner such holder’s or owner’s ratable share of the total proceeds (net of total selling and conversion expenses) of such sale; provided, however, that the Agent will have sole discretion to determine when, how, through which broker-dealer and at what price to execute the sales; provided, further, that neither the Agent nor any broker-dealer used by the Agent will be an Affiliate of Parent or HY; provided, further, that no holder of Parent Common Stock will be entitled to receive in cash in excess of the value of two shares of HY Class A Common Stock.
2.6    Intercompany Matters.  As of immediately prior to the Spin-Off Date, all rights and Liabilities of, from or to any member of the Parent Group, on the one hand, and any member of the HY Group, on the other hand, will be netted against each other and the resulting balance will be cash settled as applicable, by Parent or HY, as the case may be, and all contracts between or among such parties will terminate, in each case other than under this Agreement or any of the other agreements or instruments contemplated hereby or any Liabilities arising therefrom.  In the event any such intercompany amounts are identified following the Spin-Off Date that were not netted as contemplated by the preceding sentence, such amounts will be cash settled when they arise or are identified.  In the event of any refund or credit relating to the HY Group or the Parent Group is received by the other group after the Spin-Off Date, such other 

6

group will provide the HY Group or Parent Group, as applicable, with the benefit of such refund or credit.
III.      EMPLOYEE MATTERS

3.2    Pension Benefits.  (a) On and following the Spin-Off Date, HY and its Subsidiaries will retain sponsorship of and be solely responsible for the management and administration of, any defined benefit pension plan that was sponsored by HY or one of its Subsidiaries on the Spin-Off Date.
(b)    Employees and former employees of NMHG and its Subsidiaries (the “NMHG Participants”) also participate in the Combined Defined Benefit Plan of Parent and its Subsidiaries (the “Parent Pension Plan”).  Immediately prior to the Spin-Off Date, Parent will spin off the assets and Liabilities of the Parent Pension Plan attributable to the accrued benefits of the NMHG Participants under Part III of the Parent Pension Plan (the “Part III Benefits”), to a separate defined benefit pension plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code that will be assumed, sponsored and maintained by NMHG (the “NMHG Pension Plan”).  The amount of assets transferred to the NMHG Pension Plan and the transfer thereof will comply with the requirements of Sections 411(d)(6), 414(l) and 401(a)(12) of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder; provided that prior to the Spin-Off Date, HY and Parent will mutually agree on the amount that NMHG will be required to contribute to the Parent Pension Plan in order to effectuate the asset transfer and HY will make (or cause NMHG to make) such contribution prior to the Spin-Off Date at such time as agreed upon by Parent and HY.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the assets and Liabilities of the Parent Pension Plan attributable to the accrued benefit of any employee or former employee of HY and its Subsidiaries under Part I of the Parent Pension Plan (the “Part I Benefits”) will remain within the Parent Pension Plan, and, as a result thereof, employees or former employees of HY and its Subsidiaries will continue to be entitled to receive any Part I Benefits in accordance with the terms of the Parent Pension Plan, as in effect from time to time.  In furtherance of, but without limiting the foregoing, effective as of the Spin-Off Date, (i) HY and its Subsidiaries will have no Liability or obligations, and Parent agrees to assume and pay for any such Liabilities or obligations, under the Parent Pension Plan (the “Pension Plan Obligations”), (ii) HY and its Subsidiaries will have no further responsibility for the administration of the Parent Pension Plan, (iii) Parent and its Subsidiaries (other than HY and its Subsidiaries) will have no Liability or obligations, and HY agrees to assume and pay for any such Liabilities or obligations, under the NMHG Pension Plan, and (iv) Parent and its Subsidiaries (other than HY and 

7

its Subsidiaries) will have no further responsibility for the administration of the NMHG Pension Plan except as specified in the Transition Services Agreement.
3.3    Other Employee Benefits.  (a)  The NMHG Participants are currently provided retirement and welfare benefits under employee benefits plans, programs, policies or arrangements that are sponsored and maintained by HY or its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “HY Benefit Plans”).  On and after the Spin-Off Date, the NMHG Participants (other than the Transferred Employees) will continue to receive benefits under the HY Benefit Plans.  Effective as of the Spin-Off Date, Parent and its Subsidiaries (other than HY and its Subsidiaries) (i) will have no Liability or obligations, and HY and its Subsidiaries agree to assume and pay for any Liabilities or obligations, under or relating to the HY Benefit Plans and the NMHG Pension Plan, including as required by, or imposed pursuant to applicable Law and (ii) will have no responsibility for the administration of the HY Benefit Plans and the NMHG Pension Plan.
(b)    Employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries (other than HY and its Subsidiaries) are currently provided retirement and welfare benefits under employee benefit plans, programs, policies or arrangements that are sponsored and maintained by Parent or its Subsidiaries (other than HY and its Subsidiaries) (collectively, the “Parent Benefits Plans”).  On and after the Spin-Off Date, (i) employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries (but, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.2(b) above, not employees of HY and its Subsidiaries) will continue to receive benefits under the Parent Benefit Plans and (ii) the Transferred Employees will begin to receive benefits under the Parent Benefit Plans, subject to the eligibility rules thereunder.
(c)    Effective as of the Spin-Off Date, HY and its Subsidiaries (i) will have no Liability or obligations, and Parent agrees to assume and pay for any Liabilities or obligations, under or relating to the Parent Benefit Plans and (ii) will have no responsibility for the administration of the Parent Benefit Plans.
(d)    Prior to the Spin-Off Date, HY and Parent will mutually agree to a fair allocation of the Chairman’s compensation and employee benefits for the 2012 calendar year between the two companies.
3.4    Other Benefit Matters.  
(a)    Nothing contained herein will in any way alter the right of Parent or HY, before or after the Spin-Off Date, to amend or terminate any Parent Benefit Plan or HY Benefit Plan, as applicable, in accordance with its terms and applicable Law.
(b)    On or before the Spin-Off Date, Parent and HY agree that (i) they will take such actions as they determine are necessary and advisable to establish separate administrative services agreements and funding vehicles for the HY Benefit Plans (including the NMHG Pension Plan) and Parent Benefit Plans and/or to provide for transitional services related thereto and (ii) they will use reasonable, good faith efforts to cooperate with each other and take such steps as are necessary and advisable to implement the actions described in this Article III.

8

(c)    After the Spin-Off Date, Parent and HY will continue to cooperate in good faith and share (to the extent permissible under applicable privacy/data protection laws) all relevant documents, payroll and employment information as needed with respect to the continued administration of the HY Benefit Plans (and the NMHG Pension Plan) and the Parent Benefit Plans; provided that requests for cooperation must be reasonable and not interfere with daily business operations.
IV.      REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
4.1    Representations.  Each of Parent and HY, as applicable, represents and warrants to the other as set forth below.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Spin-Off have been duly and validly authorized by each Party, and no other proceedings on the part of such Party or any other Person are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by such Party of this Agreement or the consummation of the Spin-Off.  This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Parties, and (assuming the valid execution and delivery of this Agreement by the other Parties) constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of such Party enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such obligations and their enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) by general principles of equity, or (iii) the power of a court to deny enforcement of remedies based on public policy.

4.2    Litigation Matters. (a)  For a period of five years after the Closing Date, each Party will, to aid each other Party in the defense of any third-party Action relating to the business of the other Party to the extent such Party has personnel or information relevant to such business or Action, make available during normal business hours, but without unreasonably disrupting their respective businesses, all personnel and records in their possession, custody and/or control relating to such business reasonably necessary to permit the effective defense or investigation of such Action.  If information other than that pertaining to the applicable business that is the subject of the Action is contained in such records, Parent and HY will make reasonable efforts to protect any confidential information, including entering into appropriate confidentiality agreements.  To the extent any such Action relates solely to HY’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ businesses, all such documented costs will be borne by HY.  To the extent any such Action relates solely to Parent’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ businesses (other than HY or any of its Subsidiaries), all such documented costs will be borne by Parent.

9

than HY or any of its Subsidiaries) and HY’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ businesses, all such documented costs will be allocated proportionately, based on their respective business interest in such action, between HY and Parent.
4.3    Cooperation. (a) Parent and HY will comply fully with all notification, reporting and other requirements under any Law or Order applicable to the Spin-Off.  Parent and HY will use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, as soon as practicable, the authorizations that may be or become necessary for the performance of their respective obligations under this Agreement and the consummation of the Spin-Off and will cooperate fully with each other in promptly seeking to obtain such authorizations, except that no such Party will be required to make any material expenditure in connection with its obligations under this Section 4.3.  Where the cooperation of third parties such as insurers or trustees would be necessary in order for a Party to completely fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, such Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such third parties to provide such cooperation, except that no Party will be required to make any material expenditure in connection therewith.
(b)    In addition to the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, each of the Parties will cooperate with each other and use (and will cause their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates to use) reasonable best efforts, prior to, at and after the Spin-Off, to take, or to cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or to cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary on its part permitted under applicable law to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Transition Services Agreement, the Tax Allocation Agreement, the Dry Aircraft Lease and the Office Services Agreement as promptly as reasonably practicable.  
(c)    After the Spin-Off, except in the case of any Action by one Party or its Affiliates against the other Party or its Affiliates, each Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the other, upon written request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of such Party as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that any such Person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents are reasonably requested in connection with any Action in which the requesting Party may from time to time be involved or any other reasonable business purpose, regardless of whether, in the case of an Action, such Action is a matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought hereunder. 
(d)    The obligation of the Parties to provide witnesses pursuant to this Section 4.3 is intended to be interpreted in a manner so as to facilitate cooperation.
4.4    Expenses.  Whether or not the Spin-Off is consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Spin-Off will be borne by Parent, unless otherwise provided herein or in the Transition Services Agreement.  The costs and expenses related to the preparation and filing by HY of the S-1 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission will be borne by HY in the 

10

event the Spin-Off is consummated.  For the avoidance of doubt, each Party will bear its internal and external costs and expenses of complying with any covenant herein, except and solely to the extent otherwise provided herein. 
4.5    Certain Insurance Matters.  (a)  With respect to any Damages suffered by HY or any of its Subsidiaries after the Spin-Off Date relating to, resulting from or arising out of the conduct of HY’s business prior to the Spin-Off Date for which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries would be entitled to assert, or cause any other Person to assert, a claim for recovery under any policy of insurance maintained by Parent or for the benefit of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of HY’s business, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, any product of HY’s business or any HY employee, at the request of HY, Parent will use commercially reasonable efforts to assert and administer, or to assist HY or any of its Subsidiaries to assert and administer, one or more claims under such policy of insurance covering such Damage if HY or any of its Subsidiaries is not itself entitled to assert such claim, and any recovery in respect thereof will be paid to the Party suffering such Damages; provided, however, that all of Parent’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing, including retroactive or other premium increases, are promptly reimbursed by HY.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent will have the sole right to administer all such claims in any manner and take any actions as it determines to be appropriate except to the extent any such administration or actions may adversely affect the availability of insurance coverage, the amount of any such coverage, the applicability of any coverage and/or the availability of future coverage or coverage limits with respect to HY or any of its Subsidiaries, in which case any administration or actions by Parent shall only be taken after consultation with, and consent of, HY.  Nothing in this Section 4.5. will affect or modify or be deemed to affect or modify in any way any Party’s obligations under Article V of this Agreement.
(b)    As of the Spin-Off Date, Parent and HY will each procure and maintain for not less than six years following the Spin-Off Date (the “Insurance Period”), policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance of at least the same coverage and amounts, and containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous to the directors and officers and fiduciaries or other trustees of either Parent or HY, with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred before or on the Spin-Off Date.  Each of Parent and HY will cooperate with the other in the procurement of such insurance.  In the event that insurance with the identical coverage and amounts is no longer available on a commercially reasonable basis during the Insurance Period, Parent and/or HY may procure and maintain substantially similar coverage for the remainder of the Insurance Period, with the consent of the other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
4.6    Confidentiality.  The Parties will keep strictly confidential any and all proprietary, technical, business, marketing, sales and other information disclosed to another Party in connection with the performance of this Agreement (the “Confidential Information”), and will not disclose the same or any part thereof to any third party, or use the same for their own benefit or for the benefit of any third party.  The obligations of secrecy and nonuse as set forth herein will survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of five years.  Excluded from this provision is any information available in the 

11

public domain and any information disclosed to any of the Parties by a third party who is not in breach of confidential obligations owed to another Person or entity.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may disclose Confidential Information (a) to its bankers, attorneys, accountants and other advisors subject to the same confidentiality obligations imposed herein and (b) as may be required by law from time to time.
4.7    Use of Name.  HY and its Subsidiaries acknowledge and agree that Parent has prior and superior rights to use the name "NACCO" (the "Retained Name") and is retaining all of its right, title and interest (including its trademark rights) therein and thereto.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent conditionally consents to HY's and its Subsidiaries' perpetual use, after the consummation of the Spin-Off, of the Retained Name solely as (or as a component part of) a corporate or business name and solely for so long as (A) none of the products or services of any such business are of a quality that is reasonably determined to be sub-standard and (B) none of HY or its Subsidiaries (i) use the Retained Name or combine the Retained Name with any other name or mark in any manner that is likely to cause marketplace confusion with the businesses, products or services of Parent or its Affiliates or any of their licensees, (ii) use, either by any act or omission, the Retained Name in any manner that tarnishes, degrades, disparages or reflects adversely on the Parent, its Affiliates or any of their businesses or reputation, or (iii) take any action, either directly or indirectly, to challenge, object to, or interfere with use or registration of the Retained Name by Parent or its Affiliates.

by it or its Subsidiaries under this Agreement in whole or in part after the Spin-Off Date, (c) the conduct of any business of HY or its Subsidiaries, including any indemnity or Liability thereof or any amount due or to become due in respect of the foregoing, and (d) any obligations or Liabilities under the NMHG Pension Plan or the HY Benefit Plans.  For the avoidance of doubt, following the Spin-Off, no Parent Indemnified Party will be liable for, and HY will indemnify, defend and fully protect each Parent Indemnified Party from and against any action or failure to take action by HY, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives in their capacities as such whether prior to or on the Spin-Off Date, including any transaction based in whole or in part on the Spin-Off.
5.3    Insurance Coverage.  The indemnification to which any Party is entitled hereunder will be net of all insurance proceeds actually received, if any, by the indemnified Party with respect to the losses for which indemnification is provided in Section 5.1 or Section 5.2.
5.4    Right of Party to Indemnification.  Each Party entitled to indemnification hereunder will be entitled to indemnification for losses sustained in accordance with the provisions of this Article V regardless of any Law or public policy that would limit or impair the right of the Party to recover indemnification under the circumstances.
5.5    Indemnification Procedures.  Any Party seeking indemnification under this Article V for a third party claim (the “Indemnified Party”) must notify the Party from whom such indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any claim, demand, action or proceeding for which indemnification will be sought; provided, however, that the failure to so notify will not adversely impact the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification hereunder except and solely to the extent that such failure to notify actually prejudices, or prevents the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such claim, demand, action or proceeding.  The Indemnifying Party will have the right at its expense to assume the defense thereof using counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party.  The Indemnified Party will have the right (i) to participate, at its own expense, with respect to any claim, demand, action or proceeding that is being diligently defended by the Indemnifying Party and (ii) to assume the defense of any claim, demand, action or proceeding at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party if the Indemnifying Party fails or ceases to defend the same.  In connection with any such claim, demand, action or proceeding the Parties will cooperate with each other and provide each other with access to relevant books and records in their possession.  If a firm written offer is made to the Indemnifying Party to settle any such claim, demand, action or proceeding solely in exchange for monetary sums to be paid by the Indemnifying Party (and such settlement contains a complete release of the Indemnified Party and its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers and employees) and the Indemnifying Party proposes to accept such settlement and the Indemnified Party refuses to consent to such settlement, then (A) the Indemnifying Party will be excused from, and the Indemnified Party will be solely responsible for, all further defense of such claim, demand, action or proceeding, (B) the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party relating to such claim, demand, action or proceeding will be the amount of the proposed settlement if the amount thereafter recovered from the Indemnified Party on such claim, demand, action or proceeding is greater than the amount of the proposed settlement, 

13

and (C) the Indemnified Party will pay all attorneys’ fees and legal costs and expenses incurred after rejection of such settlement by the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if the amount thereafter recovered by the third party from the Indemnified Party is less than the amount of the proposed settlement, the Indemnified Party will be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party for such attorneys’ fees and legal costs and expenses up to a maximum amount equal to the difference between the amount recovered by the third party and the amount of the proposed settlement.

The failure of any Person to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement will in no way be construed to be a waiver of any such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part thereof or the right of any Person thereafter to enforce each and every such provision.  No waiver of any breach of such provisions will be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
8.4    Notices.  All notices required or permitted pursuant to this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to be properly given when actually received by the Person entitled to receive the notice at the address stated below, or at such other address as a Party may provide by notice to the other:

Exhibit 10.2
TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT
This TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of September 28, 2012, by and among NACCO Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NACCO”) and Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of NACCO (“Hyster-Yale”).  All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have their respective meanings set forth in the Separation Agreement (as defined herein).
RECITALS:
1.    NACCO and Hyster-Yale have entered into a Separation Agreement, dated as of September 28, 2012 (the “Separation Agreement”), pursuant to which NACCO will distribute all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Hyster-Yale to NACCO’s stockholders (the “Spin-Off”) ;
2.    In order to facilitate the separation of Hyster-Yale from NACCO and its Subsidiaries (as defined below) pursuant to the Separation Agreement, (a) Hyster-Yale desires, and NACCO is willing to provide or cause its Subsidiaries to provide, certain transition services upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and (b) NACCO and its Subsidiaries desire, and Hyster-Yale is willing to provide or cause its Subsidiaries to provide, certain transition services upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Subsidiary” of any Person means any Person whose financial results are required to be consolidated with the financial results of the first Person in the preparation of the first Person’s financial statements under United States generally accepted accounting principles as in effect from time to time, consistently applied.
Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:
I.  TRANSITION SERVICES
1.1    NACCO Obligations.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Transition Period (as defined below), NACCO will, or will cause one of its Subsidiaries to, provide to Hyster-Yale and/or a designated Subsidiary of Hyster-Yale the transitional services and assistance (together, the “NACCO Transition Services”) set forth on Schedule A hereto.
1.2    Hyster-Yale Obligations.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Transition Period, Hyster-Yale will, or will cause one of its Subsidiaries to, provide to NACCO and/or a designated Subsidiary of NACCO, as the case may be, the transitional services and assistance (together, the “Hyster-Yale Transition Services” and, together with the NACCO Transition Services, the “Transition Services”) set forth on Schedule B hereto.
1.3    Term.  The obligations of each of NACCO and Hyster-Yale to provide each respective Transition Service or cause such Transition Service to be provided hereunder will begin on October 1, 2012 (the “Effective Date”) and will remain in effect for one year 

1

        

after the Effective Date (the “Initial Termination Date”); provided, however, that with respect to any Transition Service, NACCO or Hyster-Yale may, upon written notice to the other party not less than 30 days prior to the Initial Termination Date, extend the term of such Transition Services for the subsequent transition period; provided, however, that such extension shall not be for a period of more than three months unless the other party consents, in writing, to a period beyond three months (the “Subsequent Transition Period”).  For the purposes of this Agreement, the (a) term “Initial Transition Period” for each Transition Service means the period beginning on the date on which the Spin-Off occurs (the “Closing Date”) and ending on the Initial Termination Date, and (b) the terms Initial Transition Period and Subsequent Transition Period are collectively referred to herein as the “Transition Period.”
1.4    Modification of Transition Services.  During the Transition Period, any or all of the Transition Services may be modified in any respect upon mutual written agreement of NACCO and Hyster-Yale, and such written agreement shall be deemed to supplement and amend this Agreement.
1.5    Employee Cooperation.  NACCO will cause its or its Subsidiaries’ employees providing the Transition Services (together, the “NACCO Employees”) to cooperate with the employees of Hyster-Yale and/or its Subsidiaries (the “Hyster-Yale Employees”) during the Transition Period, but neither NACCO nor its Subsidiaries will have any other duty or obligation with respect to such Hyster-Yale Employees.  Hyster-Yale will cause the Hyster-Yale Employees providing the Transition Services to cooperate with the NACCO Employees during the Transition Period, but Hyster-Yale will have no other duty or obligation with respect to such NACCO Employees.
1.6    Scope of Services.  Neither NACCO nor Hyster-Yale will be obligated to perform, or to cause to be performed, any Transition Services in a volume or quantity that unreasonably interferes with the operation of its business in the ordinary course provided, however, that each such party will be required to provide Transition Services consistent with historical volume or quantity during the two years preceding the Spin-Off and such level of services will not be deemed to unreasonably interfere with the operation of the business of the party supplying such Transition Service. 
1.7    Standard of Performance; Standard of Care.  Each of NACCO and Hyster-Yale will perform, or will cause to be performed, the Transition Services (a) in such manner as is substantially similar in nature, quality and timeliness to the services provided by NACCO, Hyster-Yale or their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, prior to the date hereof and (b) in accordance with all applicable Laws.
1.8    Confidentiality  The parties hereto shall keep strictly confidential any and all proprietary, technical, business, marketing, sales and other information disclosed to another party hereto in connection with the performance of this Agreement (the “Confidential Information”), and shall not disclose the same or any part thereof to any third party, or use the same for their own benefit or for the benefit of any third party.  The obligations of secrecy and nonuse as set forth herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of five years.  Excluded from this provision is any information available in the public domain and any information disclosed to any of the parties by a third party who is not in breach of confidential obligations owed to another 

2

        

person or entity.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party hereto may disclose Confidential Information (a) to its bankers, attorneys, accountants and other advisors subject to the same confidentiality obligations imposed herein and (b) as may be required by Law from time to time provided that the party required to disclose provide the other party, to the extent permitted, reasonable notice in order for such party an opportunity to oppose such disclosure.  
II.      OFFICE SPACE
2.1    Right to Use.  (a) NACCO hereby grants to Hyster-Yale the right to use the space leased by NACCO in the building at 5875 Landerbrook Drive, Cleveland, Ohio 44124 (the “Office Space”) beginning on the Effective Date and terminating on the date of NACCO’s transfer of the lease governing the Office Space (the “Lease”) to Hyster-Yale or one of its subsidiaries (the “HY Office Space Term”).  Hyster-Yale will pay NACCO the HY Office Space Fee set forth in Section 3.1(c) for such right.
(b)    Hyster-Yale hereby grants to NACCO the right to use certain offices occupied by NACCO personnel located within the space leased by Hyster-Yale in the building at 5875 Landerbrook Drive, Cleveland, Ohio 44124 (the “NACCO Office Space”) beginning on the day following the termination of the HY Office Space Term and terminating on the sooner of (i) Hyster-Yale’s receipt of notice from NACCO that the employees and property of NACCO occupying the NACCO Office Space have been relocated or (ii) three months after the Effective Date (the “NACCO Office Space Term”).

Other than the HY Fees and the expenses specified in Section 3.3, neither Hyster-Yale nor any of its Subsidiaries will be responsible for any fees or expenses incurred by NACCO or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with its or their provision of the Transition Services hereunder.
(b)    For any portion of the Transition Period in which a Transition Service is not rendered for an entire month, the HY Fees described in Schedule A or percentage thereof with respect to such Transition Service will be prorated based on the actual number of days in such period, if applicable.  
(c)    In consideration for the right to use the Office Space during the HY Office Space Term, Hyster-Yale will pay to NACCO a fee equal to the amount payable by NACCO under the Lease per month of the HY Office Space Term (the “HY Office Space Fee”).  For any portion of the HY Office Space Term that is less 

3

        

than a month, the HY Office Space Fee will be prorated based on the actual number of days in such period.  
3.2    NACCO Fees.

3.3    Out-of-Pocket Expenses.  All (a) reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses (including travel expenses) that arise directly out of the provision of Transition Services pursuant to this Agreement and are incurred by any of the parties or their Subsidiaries (the “Out-of-Pocket Expenses”) and (b) sales or similar non-income taxes incurred by any of the parties or their Subsidiaries in connection with the provision of Transition Services pursuant to this Agreement (together with the Out-of-Pocket Expenses, “Expenses”) will be reimbursed by the party receiving the services; provided, however, that for any Expense described in clause (a) in excess of $10,000 per occurrence or event, the party providing the services will be required to obtain prior approval thereof from the party receiving the services, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, that such consent will not be required for any Expense in excess of $10,000 if such Expense does not exceed the historical cost of such Expense by more than 10%.
3.4    Payment.  (a) Each of Hyster-Yale and NACCO will pay or cause to be paid to the other (i) the NACCO Fees or the HY Fees, as applicable, (ii) the NACCO Office Space Fee or the HY Office Space Fee, as applicable, and (iii) Expenses in each calendar month within 30 days following receipt of an invoice therefor which contains customary and reasonable substantiation of the entitlement to payment of such Fees and reimbursement of such Expenses.  If either party fails to pay the invoiced amount when due, interest will accrue on the amount payable at a rate equal to the rate of interest publicly announced by Citibank, N.A., from time to time, in The City of New York, as such bank’s base rate (the “Citibank Base Rate”) plus 2.50% per month, 

4

        

compounded monthly; provided, however, that if any such failure to pay is due to a good faith dispute, any amounts ultimately determined to be payable by the disputing party will instead include interest compounded at a rate equal to the Citibank Base Rate plus 2.00% per month. 
IV.      TERMINATION
4.1    Term and Termination.  (a)  This Agreement will remain in effect with respect to each Transition Service from the Closing Date until the expiration of the Transition Period for such Transition Service unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Section 4.1.

(ii)    the other party has filed, or has had filed against it, a petition seeking relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Law affecting creditors’ rights.
(c)    An authorized officer of either NACCO or Hyster-Yale may terminate the Transition Period with respect to any Transition Service that is being provided by the other party or its Subsidiaries at any time by giving such party 30 days’ prior written notice of its intention to do so.

EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 1.7, NONE OF THE PARTIES MAKES ANY WARRANTY CONCERNING THE TRANSITION SERVICES AND THE WARRANTY IN SUCH SECTION 1.7 IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO ALLOW HYSTER-YALE OR NACCO TO SUCCESSFULLY TRANSITION, MANAGE OR OPERATE ITS BUSINESS.
5.2    Indemnification.  (a)  Subject to subsection (d) below, each party (the “Indemnitor”) will indemnify and hold the other party, its Subsidiaries and each of their respective stockholders, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives and each of the successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against and will promptly defend the Indemnitees from and 

5

        

reimburse the Indemnitees for any and all losses, damages, costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and claims of any kind (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses) (collectively, “Damages”), arising out of or related to (i) a breach by the Indemnitor of this Agreement and (ii) the gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct of the Indemnitor in connection with the provision or receipt of Transition Services under this Agreement.
(b)    The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Section 5.2 will be computed net of any insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnitee pursuant to an insurance policy with respect to such Damages.
(c)    The Indemnitee must notify the Indemnitor in writing of any claim, demand, action or proceeding for which indemnification will be sought under Section 5.2(a), provided, however, that the failure to so notify shall not adversely impact the Indemnitee’s right to indemnification hereunder except to the extent that such failure to notify actually prejudices or prevents the Indemnitor’s ability to defend such claim, demand, action or proceeding.  If such claim, demand, action or proceeding is a third party claim, demand, action or proceeding, the Indemnitor will have the right at its expense to assume the defense thereof using counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee. Indemnitor will notify Indemnitee whether Indemnitor so elects to assume the defense not more than five (5) business days after written notice of the claim. The Indemnitee will have the right (i) to participate, at its own expense, with respect to any such third party claim, demand, action or proceeding that is being defended by the Indemnitor, and (ii) to assume the defense of such third party claim, demand, action or proceeding, at the cost and expense of the Indemnitor if the Indemnitor fails or ceases to defend the same.  In connection with any such third party claim, demand, action or proceeding, the parties will cooperate with each other and provide each other with access to relevant books and records in their possession.  If a firm written offer is made to the Indemnitor to settle any such third party claim, demand, action or proceeding solely in exchange for monetary sums to be paid by the Indemnitor (and such settlement contains a complete release of the Indemnitee and its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers and employees) and the Indemnitor proposes to accept such settlement and the Indemnitee refuses to consent to such settlement, then (i) the Indemnitor will be excused from, and the Indemnitee will be solely responsible for, all further defense of such third party claim, demand, action or proceeding, (ii) the maximum liability of the Indemnitor relating to such third party claim, demand, action or proceeding will be the amount of the proposed settlement if the amount thereafter recovered from the Indemnitee on such third party claim, demand, action or proceeding is greater than the amount of the proposed settlement, and (iii) the Indemnitee will pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal costs and expenses incurred by Indemnitee after rejection of such settlement by the Indemnitee; provided, however, that if the amount thereafter recovered by such third party from the Indemnitee is less than the amount of the proposed settlement, the Indemnitee will be reimbursed by the Indemnitor for such attorneys’ fees and legal costs and expenses up to a maximum amount equal to the difference between the amount recovered by such third party and the amount of the proposed settlement.

(d)    No party will be entitled to recover any consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages (including lost profits or lost revenues) arising out of the matters covered by this Agreement, regardless of the form of the claim or action, including claims or actions for indemnification, tort, breach of contract, warranty, representation or covenant.
(e)    The Indemnitees’ rights to indemnification as set forth in this Section 5.2 will be their exclusive remedy with respect to any Damages arising out of the matters covered by this Agreement other than to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 4.1(b).  Each Indemnitee hereto will be entitled to indemnification for Damages sustained in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.2 regardless of any Law or public policy that would limit or impair the right of the party to recover indemnification under the circumstances.
5.3    Relationship of Parties.  Each of Hyster-Yale, NACCO and their respective Subsidiaries will for all purposes be deemed to be an independent contractor with respect to the provision of Transition Services hereunder, will not be considered (nor will any of their directors, officers, employees, contractors or agents be considered) an agent, employee, commercial representative, partner, franchisee or joint venturer of any other party and will have no duties or obligations beyond those expressly provided in this Agreement and the Separation Agreement with respect to the provision of Transition Services.  No party will have any authority, absent express written permission from the other party, to enter into any agreement, assume or create any obligations or liabilities, or make representations on behalf of any other party.  The provision of the Transition Services shall not alter the classification of, or the compensation and employee benefits provided to the NACCO Employees or the Hyster-Yale Employees.  The NACCO Employees shall be employed solely by NACCO or its Subsidiaries, and the Hyster-Yale Employees shall be employed solely by Hyster-Yale or its Subsidiaries.  Neither the NACCO Employees nor the Hyster-Yale Employees shall be entitled to any additional compensation for the provision of the Transition Services.
5.4    Interpretation.  (a)  When a reference is made in this Agreement to Sections or Schedules, such reference will be to a Section of or Schedule to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.  The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.  Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”  Unless the context otherwise requires, (i) “or” is disjunctive but not necessarily exclusive, (ii) words in the singular include the plural and vice versa, (iii) the use in this Agreement of a pronoun in reference to a party hereto includes the masculine, feminine or neuter, as the context may require, and (iv) terms used herein which are defined in GAAP have the meanings ascribed to them therein.  All Schedules hereto will be deemed part of this Agreement and included in any reference to this Agreement.  This Agreement will not be interpreted or construed to require any party to take any action, or fail to take any action, if to do so would violate any applicable Law.
(b)    All parties have participated in negotiating and drafting this Agreement.  In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by all parties, and no 

7

        

presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.
5.5    Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by the written agreement of the parties hereto.
5.6    Waiver of Compliance.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the failure by any party to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition under this Agreement may be waived by the party entitled to the benefit thereof only by a written instrument signed by the party granting such waiver, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition will not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.  The failure of any party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement will in no way be construed to be a waiver of any such provision, or in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any party hereafter to enforce each and every such provision.  No waiver of any breach of such provisions will be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
5.7    Notices.  All notices required or permitted pursuant to this Agreement must be given as set forth in the Separation Agreement.  
5.8    Third Party Beneficiaries.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer on any person or entity other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.
5.9    Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the signatories hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  No party may assign this Agreement, or any of its rights or liabilities hereunder, without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, and any attempt to make any such assignment without such consent will be null and void.  Any such assignment will not relieve the party making the assignment from any liability under this Agreement.
5.10    Severability.  The illegality or partial illegality of any or all of this Agreement, or any provision hereof, will not affect the validity of the remainder of this Agreement, or any provision hereof, and the illegality or partial illegality of this Agreement will not affect the validity of this Agreement in any jurisdiction in which such determination of illegality or partial illegality has not been made, except in either case to the extent such illegality or partial illegality causes this Agreement to no longer contain all of the material provisions reasonably expected by the parties to be contained herein.
5.11    Governing Law.  This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and wholly performed within such state, without regard to any applicable conflict of Laws principles.

5.12    Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers.  Each party irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, any provision hereof, the breach, performance, validity or invalidity hereof or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect hereof brought by another party hereto or its successors or permitted assigns may be brought and determined in any federal or state court located in the State of Delaware, and each party hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts.  Each party hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, any provision hereof or the breach, performance, enforcement, validity or invalidity hereof, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to lawfully serve process, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper, or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.
5.13    Force Majeure.  None of the parties will be liable to any other party for failure to perform or delays in performing any part of the Transition Services if such failure or delay results from an act of God, war, terrorism, revolt, revolution, sabotage, actions of a Governmental Entity, Laws, regulations, embargo, fire, strike, other labor trouble or any other cause or circumstance beyond the control of such party other than financial difficulties of the other party.  Upon the occurrence of any such event which results in, or will result in, delay or failure to perform according to the terms of this Agreement, each party will promptly give notice to the other parties of such occurrence and the effect and/or anticipated effect of such occurrence.  All parties will use their reasonable efforts to minimize disruptions in their performance, to resume performance of their obligations under this Agreement as soon as practicable and to assist the other parties in obtaining, at their sole expense, an alternative source for the affected Transition Services and the receiving party will be released from any payment obligation to the performing party with respect to the affected Transition Services during the period of such force majeure; provided, however, the resolution of any strike or labor trouble will be within the sole discretion of the performing party.
5.14    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that each party need not sign the same counterpart.
5.15    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement (including the documents and the instruments referred to in this Agreement) and the Separation Agreement, constitute the

entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.
