Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

     (a) Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the General Partners share the power to vote the Class A Common held by the Partnership. Further, under such terms, the General Partners generally exercise such power by a vote of the General Partners holding a majority of the general partnership interests.

     (b) Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership may not dispose of Class A Common without the consent of partners holding more than 75% of the general partnership interests and the consent of the holders of more than 75% of all partnership interests, including the general partnership interests, in the Partnership (the “Partnership Interests”).

     (c) Each of the Reporting Persons is a party to the Stockholders’ Agreement, dated as of March 15, 1990, as amended (the “NACCO Stockholders’ Agreement,” attached hereto as Exhibit 3 and incorporated herein in its entirety), among the Company, National City Bank, (Cleveland, Ohio), as successor depository (the “Depository”) and the individuals, custodianships and trusts listed therein and thus is a “Participating Stockholder” within the meaning of the NACCO Stockholders’ Agreement.

     The NACCO Stockholders’ Agreement requires a Participating Stockholder to offer the shares of Class B Common beneficially owned by such Participating Stockholder to all of the other Participating Stockholders upon the occurrence of either of the following: (a) the proposed conversion of shares of Class B Common by such Participating Stockholder into shares of Class A Common, and (b) the proposed sale, transfer or other disposition of Class B Common by such Participating Stockholder to any permitted transferee (under the terms of the Class B Common) who is not a signatory to the NACCO Stockholders’ Agreement. In either of these cases, the Participating Stockholder proposing to enter into one of these transactions must notify all other Participating Stockholders of such proposed transaction and then must allow each such other Participating Stockholder the opportunity to purchase such Participating Stockholder’s pro rata portion of the shares of Class B Common which are subject to the proposed transaction in accordance with the procedures described below. The NACCO Stockholders’ Agreement, however, does not restrict transfers of Class B Common among the Participating Stockholders or any other permitted transferee who becomes a signatory to the NACCO Stockholders’ Agreement.

     A Participating Stockholder proposing to engage in a transaction triggering a right of first refusal must first give written notice of the proposed transaction by registered mail to the Depository. The Depository, in turn, is required to send such notice promptly to all of the other Participating Stockholders and to the Company. Following receipt of such notice, each other Participating Stockholder will have seven business days to elect whether or not to purchase his, her or its pro rata portion of the shares of the Class B Common which have triggered the right of first refusal. A Participating Stockholder’s pro rata portion will be determined by dividing the number of shares of Class B Common which such person owns by the number of shares of Class B Common which are owned by all of the other Participating Stockholders who similarly may elect to purchase the shares of Class B Common which have triggered the right of first refusal. A notice electing to purchase a pro rata portion of the shares of Class B Common must be sent to the Depository by the end of the seven business day period. If the other Participating Stockholders electing to purchase do not elect to purchase all of the shares of Class B Common being offered, then such other Participating Stockholders have an additional five business days to agree among themselves how to allocate the shares not purchased. If they cannot reach an agreement, the allocation shall be pro rata. If there are still shares of Class B Common which are not purchased following such allocation, then the Company shall have an additional three business days to decide whether or not to

purchase the remaining shares. The Company, however, is under no obligation to purchase any such shares.

     Following the completion of such procedures, the Participating Stockholder who has triggered the right of first refusal is free, for a period of 30 business days, to convert the shares of Class B Common, if any, which remain, into shares of Class A Common. If the Participating Stockholder had originally proposed to transfer the shares, such Participating Stockholder would be free to transfer shares of Class A Common in accordance with the originally proposed transaction.

     Participating Stockholders who elect to exercise the right of first refusal and purchase shares of Class B Common may pay for such shares in cash, an equivalent number of shares of Class A Common, or in a combination of cash and shares of Class A Common. The purchase price to be paid is the higher of what is specified in the notice sent by the Participating Stockholder who has triggered the right of first refusal and the average of the last sales price of Class A Common on the New York Stock Exchange for the five days prior to the date of such notice.

     The NACCO Stockholders’ Agreement only restricts the conversion or the sales or other disposition outside of the NACCO Stockholders’ Agreement, of shares of Class B Common held by each Participating Stockholder. The NACCO Stockholders’ Agreement does not restrict in any respect how a Participating Stockholder may vote the shares of Class B Common which are subject to the terms of the NACCO Stockholders’ Agreement.

     Effective February 7, 2005, each of the Company, the Depository and the Participating Stockholders executed an Amendment to Stockholders’ Agreement amending the Stockholders’ Agreement pursuant to which the Partnership became a Participating Stockholder under the NACCO Stockholders’ Agreement.

     Except as set forth above in this Schedule 13D and the exhibits attached hereto, none of the persons named in response to Item 2 hereof have any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) with any person with respect to any securities of the Company, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any such securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
