Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement and
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

     On March 8, 2005, NACCO Industries, Inc.’s wholly owned subsidiary, The North American Coal Corporation (“NACoal”), entered into a credit agreement with the Initial Lenders, as defined in the credit agreement, and Citibank, N.A., as agent for the Lenders, for a new five-year, $75.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit and a five-year, $55.0 million unsecured term loan facility (the “New NACoal Facility”). The term loan requires annual repayments of $10.0 million and a final principal repayment of $15.0 million in March 2010. The New NACoal Facility has performance-based pricing, which sets interest rates based upon achieving various levels of debt to EBITDA ratios, as defined. The New NACoal Facility provides for, at NACoal’s option, Eurodollar loans which bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin based on the level of debt to EBITDA ratio achieved and Base Rate loans which bear interest at Base Rates plus the Applicable Margin, as defined. A facility fee, which is determined based on the level of debt to EBITDA ratio achieved is also applied to the aggregate revolving line of credit. The New NACoal Facility also contains restrictive covenants which require, among other things, NACoal to maintain certain debt to EBITDA and fixed charge coverage ratios and provides the ability to make loans, dividends and advances to NACCO, with some restrictions.
