Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Financial Statem
(ii) Transition Services Agreement, dated as of September 28, 2012, by and among NACCO and Hyster-Yale (the "Transition Services Agreement");
(iii) Tax Allocation Agreement, dated as of September 28, 2012, by and between NACCO and Hyster-Yale (the "Tax Allocation Agreement"); and
(iv) Stockholders' Agreement, dated as of September 28, 2012, among the signatories thereto, Hyster-Yale, as the depository, and Hyster-Yale (the "Stockholders' Agreement").
Separation Agreement
Pursuant to the terms of the Separation Agreement, NACCO made a distribution of
8,389,563 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of
Hyster-Yale ("Class A Common") and 8,389,563 shares of Class B Common Stock, par
value $0.01 per share, of Hyster-Yale ("Class B Common") to holders of NACCO
common stock. Each holder of NACCO common stock, whether NACCO Class A Common
Stock, par value $1.00 per share ("NACCO Class A Common"), or NACCO Class B
Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share ("NACCO Class B Common"), received one
share of Class A Common and one share of Class B Common for each share of NACCO
Class A Common and NACCO Class B Common.
The Separation Agreement contains provisions regarding retirement benefits for
employees of Hyster-Yale which were formally provided pursuant to a combined
plan which included benefits for employees of NACCO and each of its operating
subsidiaries, including Hyster-Yale. In connection with the Spin-Off, the assets
and liabilities for retirement benefits relating to current and former U.S.
salaried employees of Hyster-Yale were assumed by a new Hyster-Yale sponsored
pension plan. The Separation Agreement also contains provisions regarding
directors' and officers' liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance
and indemnification of Hyster-Yale and NACCO and each of their respective
officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives.
Transition Services Agreement
Under the terms of the Transition Services Agreement, NACCO will obtain services
from Hyster-Yale and provide services to Hyster-Yale on a transitional basis, as
needed, for varying periods after the Spin-Off. These services will include:
• legal and consulting support relating to employee benefits,
compensation and human resources matters;
• general accounting support, including public company support;
• general legal, public company, information technology and
infrastructure, insurance and internal audit support (including
responding to requests from regulatory and compliance agencies) as
needed; and
• tax compliance and consulting support (including completion of
federal audits and appeals through the 2010 tax year; 2011 tax
sharing computations; 2011 state income tax return filings for
certain operating subsidiaries of NACCO after the Spin-Off and
miscellaneous provision and tax return oversight).

None of the transition services is expected to exceed one year. NACCO or Hyster-Yale may extend the initial transition period for a period of up to three months for any service upon 30 days written notice to the other party prior to the initial termination date. Hyster-Yale expects that NACCO will pay net aggregate fees to Hyster-Yale of no more than $625,000 over the initial term of the Transition Services Agreement.
Tax Allocation Agreement
Hyster-Yale and NACCO entered into the Tax Allocation Agreement that generally
governs NACCO's and Hyster-Yale's respective rights, responsibilities and
obligations after the Spin-Off with respect to taxes for any tax period ending
on or before the Spin-Off, as well as tax periods beginning before and ending
after the Spin-Off. Generally, Hyster-Yale will be liable for all pre-Spin-Off
U.S. federal income taxes, foreign income taxes and certain non-income taxes
attributable to Hyster-Yale's business. In addition, the Tax Allocation
Agreement addresses the allocation of liability for taxes that are incurred as a
result of restructuring activities undertaken to effectuate the Spin-Off. The
Tax Allocation Agreement provides that Hyster-Yale is liable for taxes incurred
by NACCO that arise as a result of Hyster-Yale's taking or failing to take, as
the case may be, certain actions that result in the Spin-Off failing to meet the
requirements of a tax-free distribution under Sections 335 and 361 of the
Internal Revenue Code.
Stockholders' Agreement
Hyster-Yale entered into a Stockholders' Agreement with certain of Hyster-Yale's
stockholders who are members of the Rankin and Taplin families. The terms of the
Stockholders' Agreement require signatories to the agreement, prior to any
conversion of Hyster-Yale's Class B Common into Hyster-Yale's Class A Common by
such signatories, to offer such Class B Common to all of the other signatories
on a pro rata basis. A signatory may sell or transfer all shares not purchased
under the right of first refusal as long as they are converted into
Hyster-Yale's Class A Common prior to such sale or transfer. Under the
Stockholders' Agreement, Hyster-Yale may, but is not obligated to, buy any of
the shares of Hyster-Yale's Class B Common not purchased by signatories
following the trigger of the right of first refusal.
