AND SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT, dated April 15, 1998 (“Agreement”) by and between NACCO MATERIALS HANDLING GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation with offices at ▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (“NMHG”), and GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL CORPORATION, a New York corporation with offices at ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (“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

Page 1

Dealers (“Customers”) for all types and brands of NMHG Equipment. In conjunction therewith, 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. On or after the date that this Agreement commences: (i) the Corporate Name Agreement shall be amended in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto: (ii) the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation shall be amended in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto; and (iii) the By-Laws of the Corporation shall be amended and restated in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto. 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”);

(iv)

origination and/or acquisition of accounts receivable financing to the Dealers (“Accounts Receivable Financing”; the Inventory Financing and

Page 2

Accounts Receivable Financing being collectively referred to as “Wholesale Financing”);

(v)

origination and/or acquisition of financing with respect to any vehicles, computers and/or other types of commercial equipment (other than inventory) for the Dealers (“Commercial Equipment Financing”);

(vi)

origination and/or acquisition of true leases to the Customers with respect to NMHG Equipment and/or Allied Equipment (“Lease Financing”); and

(vii)

origination and/or acquisition of secured loans, conditional sales contracts, financing leases, lease-purchase agreements or other financings (other than Lease Financings) to the Customers with respect to NMHG Equipment and/or Allied Equipment (“Money-Over-Money Financing”; Commercial Equipment Financing, Lease Financing and Money-Over-Money Financing being collectively referred to as “Retail Financing”); and

(viii)

any other financing programs mutually agreed to by GECC and NMHG.

(c) Anything in Section 1(b) above to the contrary notwithstanding and subject to the provisions of Section 5(g) below, it is agreed and understood that the Corporation shall have the power and authority to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

2. Initial Capitalization of the Corporation.

(a) The Corporation has authorized capital stock consisting of One Thousand (1,000) shares of common stock, One Dollar ($1.00) par value (the “Shares”).

(b) On the date of this Agreement, there are One Thousand (1,000) Shares issued and outstanding, of which Two Hundred (200) Shares are owned by NMHG and Eight Hundred (800) Shares are owned by GECC.

(c) NMHG agrees to purchase twenty percent (20%) and GECC agrees to purchase eighty percent (80%) of the number of Shares issued by the Corporation at any time.

3. Additional Capital Contributions.

(a) After giving effect to the initial capitalization of the Corporation as described in Section 2(b) above, and subject to the debt/equity limitations set forth in Section 3(b) below, when, as and if needed (whether on the basis of actual or reasonably forecasted

Page 3

investments to be made) by the Corporation, NMHG and GECC agree to make additional capital contributions to the Corporation, which when added to all previous capital contributions, will not, without the consent of NMHG, exceed an aggregate capitalization of One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000.00). Each such contribution to capital shall be made twenty percent (20%) by NMHG and eighty percent (80%) by GECC, but neither NMHG nor GECC shall be required to pay its proportion of any such contribution if the other does not pay its proportion thereof. Such additional capital contributions shall be payable in full to the Corporation upon receipt of written notice from GECC requesting such capital contributions. Subject to the provisions of the second sentence of this Section 3(a), it is agreed that GECC shall advance to the Corporation on behalf of NMHG any such additional capital contribution that may be required from NMHG, and NMHG shall pay to GECC on the first day of January, April, July and October the aggregate unpaid amount of any such advances together with interest thereon from the date of such advance by GECC to the Corporation until paid in full at a floating rate equal to the lesser of (i) the Operating Fund Rate (as defined in the Financing Agreement) or (ii) the highest rate not prohibited by applicable law. No additional Shares of the Corporation may be issued in return for any additional capital contributions; provided, however, that if any additional Shares are being issued, then such Shares shall be issued to both NMHG and GECC in proportion to such additional capital contributions.

(b) It will be the financial policy of the Corporation to maintain a Debt/Equity Ratio of approximately 15:1 or such higher ratio as may be agreed to by GECC and NMHG from time to time. As used in this Agreement, the term “Debt/Equity Ratio” shall mean a ratio calculated as follows:

The numerator shall equal the principal amount of the Debt of the Corporation, plus interest accrued thereon; and the denominator shall equal the shareholders equity shown on the Corporation’s most recent audited financial statements (adjusted to reflect increases or decreases in shareholders’ equity that may have occurred since the date of such most recent audited financial statements).

As used in this Agreement, the term “Debt” shall mean all obligations for borrowed money of the Corporation and shall include, but not be limited to any borrowings by the Corporation from GECC.

(ii)

insolvency of the other party or the Corporation or the voluntary institution by the other party or the Corporation of any proceeding under any statute of any governmental authority for the relief of debtors, seeking relief from or readjustment of its indebtedness, either through reorganization, composition, extension or otherwise, or the involuntary institution against the other party or the Corporation of any such proceeding which is not vacated within sixty days from the institution thereof, or the appointment of a receiver, custodian or other officer having similar powers for the other party or the Corporation or for the other party’s or the Corporation’s business who is not removed within sixty days after such appointment;

(iii)

any breach or violation by the other party of any obligation contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the exclusivity provisions of Section 19 hereof), or in any other agreement between such party and the Corporation or the other party hereto, which breach or violation is not corrected within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof; or

(v)

if the Corporation shall fail to meet any applicable Target Approval Rates as may be mutually agreed to by NMHG and GECC, from time to time pursuant to the provisions as set forth in Section 31 hereof, unless both parties hereto agree to take such actions as may be mutually satisfactory to achieve such minimum approval rates within the next year and at all times thereafter.

Page 14

financing as of such date to the extent legally permitted). NMHG and GECC further agree that, upon the effective date of such termination, they will cause the Corporation to immediately wind up its business and affairs and shall proceed to liquidate and dissolve the Corporation. Such liquidation and dissolution shall be achieved through an orderly program calculated to protect the interests of each of NMHG and GECC and shall take place over a period of time not to exceed the unexpired term of any contract for financing provided by the Corporation outstanding on the effective date of termination (which contract cannot legally be called, terminated or otherwise canceled by the Corporation) plus six months.

(iii)

(b) It is understood that the Corporation shall, from time to time and as available, make interim cash distributions to the parties hereto, pro rata to the shareholders in accordance with the Shares held by them at the time of distribution.

16. NMHG’s Stock Option.

(a) The provisions of Section 14(c) to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the termination of this Agreement by GECC for cause, or by NMHG for cause, pursuant to Section 14(b) above, then NMHG shall be entitled, at its sole option, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares of the Corporation held by GECC (the “GECC Shares”), such purchase to be made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 16. In order to exercise its option hereunder (the “Stock Option”), NMHG shall give written notice to

Page 15

GECC to such effect no later than forty-five (45) days after NMHG has given or received written notice of termination of the kinds described above.

(b) The purchase price (“Purchase Price”) for the GECC Shares under the Stock Option shall be the “net book value” (as hereinafter defined) of such GECC Shares determined as of the date on which such GECC Shares are purchased and sold (the “Purchase Date”). For purposes of this Section 16, the “net book value” of the GECC Shares shall be determined by reference to the “net book value of the Corporation” on the Purchase Date. The “net book value of the Corporation” shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the regular methods and practices used by the Corporation in keeping its books, applied on a consistent basis, except that the following provisions, even though not necessarily consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, shall apply:

(i)

Goodwill, trade names, trademark, copyrights and similar intangible assets shall be of no value unless such assets shall have been acquired and paid for in cash and, in such event, the value thereof, if any, shall be taken at the amount paid therefor, less any amortization thereof;

(ii)

Fixed assets, if any, consisting of, but not limited to, furniture and fixtures, shall be taken at cost less accumulated depreciation;

(iii)

Real estate, if any, shall be stated at the fair market value thereof, as determined by an independent appraiser to be selected by the mutual consent of NMHG and GECC;

(iv)

Money-over-money retail contracts and wholesale contracts shall be at the outstanding principal balance thereof, plus all accrued and unpaid interest, late charges and other amounts due thereunder;

(v)

True leases shall be at the termination value thereof (as of the rental payment date immediately preceding the Purchase Date) and all rentals, late charges and other amounts under such leases that are due and unpaid as of the Purchase Date;

(vi)

Adequate provisions for reserves for federal, state and local taxes shall be accrued and applied as a liability as of the balance sheet date;

(vii)

All loss reserves shall be valued at zero;

(viii)

Prepaid insurance and other prepaid expenses and charges shall be reflected as prepaid assets as of the balance sheet date; and

Page 16

(ix)

Adequate provisions for accounts payable and any other known liabilities of the Corporation shall be taken as a liability as of the balance sheet date.

(c) On the Purchase Date, NMHG shall make an initial payment (“Initial Payment”) to GECC in an amount equal to the estimated “net book value” of the GECC Shares as indicated on the books and records of GECC as of the Purchase Date and shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by GECC.

(d) On or before the date ninety (90) days from the Purchase Date, GECC shall submit to NMHG an unaudited balance sheet of the Corporation dated as of the Purchase Date (“Purchase Date Balance Sheet”) which shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles by GECC. If requested by NMHG by written notice delivered to GECC no later than 30 days after the receipt of the Purchase Date Balance Sheet, the independent public accountants regularly engaged by the Corporation will audit (the “Audit”), at NMHG’s sole cost and expense, the Purchase Date Balance Sheet. Such Audit shall be conducted in accordance with generally accepted audit standards and shall be sufficient to permit such accountants to render their unqualified opinion to the effect that the original Purchase Date Balance Sheet, or an adjusted Purchase Date Balance Sheet prepared by such accountants (“Adjusted Purchase Date Balance Sheet”), fairly presents the consolidated financial position of the Corporation on the Purchase Date in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (except as set forth in subsection (b) above) applied on a consistent basis. The Audit shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties. If NMHG does not request for any reason whatsoever the Audit in the time and manner required by this Section 16(d), then the original Purchase Date Balance Sheet shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive on the parties.

(e) On the date which is the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of delivery to NMHG of the Purchase Date Balance Sheet (or, alternatively, the fifth (5th) business day following the date on which the audit requested pursuant to paragraph (d) above is finalized), the Purchase Price shall be adjusted as follows:

(i) if the Purchase Price pursuant to the Purchase Date Balance Sheet exceeds the Initial Payment, NMHG shall pay to GECC the difference between said amounts (plus interest thereon at the Prime Rate that was in effect on the Purchase Date calculated from the Purchase Date); however

(ii) if the amount of the Initial Payment exceeds the Purchase Price, pursuant to the Purchase Date Balance Sheet, GECC shall pay to NMHG the difference between said amounts (plus interest

Page 17

thereon at the Prime Rate that was in effect on the Purchase Date calculated from the Purchase Date).

As used herein, the “Prime Rate” shall mean the highest rate of interest announced by any member bank of the N.Y. Clearinghouse Association as its prime or base lending rate for commercial loans of short term maturities.

(f) The Purchase Date for the Stock Option shall be on the later of (i) the effective date of termination of this Agreement or (ii) the expiration of any waiting period imposed under the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, if applicable. On the Purchase Date, NMHG shall pay to GECC the Purchase Price for the GECC Shares (determined on the basis of the Purchase Date Balance Sheet but subject to the possibility of a Post-Closing Adjustment). Such payment shall be made by wire transfer of NMHG to GECC against delivery of the GECC Shares in the following manner: certificates representing such Shares shall be endorsed in blank, with signatures guaranteed. THE PURCHASE BY NMHG OF THE GECC SHARES SHALL BE WITHOUT ANY RECOURSE TO, OR REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER BY, GECC, except that (i) GECC has been duly and validly organized, and is a validly existing corporation, under the laws of the State of New York with full power and authority to sell the GECC Shares to NMHG, (ii) the sale of the GECC Shares has been duly authorized by GECC, and (iii) GECC has good and marketable title to the GECC Shares and has the absolute right, power and capacity to sell assign and transfer the GECC shares to NMHG free and clear of any liens, claims and encumbrances arising by, through or under GECC (other than restrictions imposed generally by state and federal securities laws with respect to unregistered securities).

(g) Anything in the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, the Stock Option shall be deemed null and void, and GECC shall have no duty or obligation under this Section 16 or otherwise to sell the GECC Shares to NMHG, if such sale would require such GECC Shares or the transaction to be registered under any applicable federal or state securities laws. In connection with any purchase of the GECC Shares pursuant to the Stock Option, NMHG understands and agrees that it will be required to provide GECC with representations and warranties substantially similar to those contained in Section 4.6 of the Stock Purchase Agreement.

(h) In the event that NMHG exercises its Stock Option, NMHG shall, unless GECC has terminated this Agreement without cause, be obligated to reimburse GECC upon demand for all out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses of any kind whatsoever incurred by GECC in connection therewith and/or in connection with its sale of the GECC Shares to NMHG (including, without limitation, any fees and disbursements of outside counsel or outside accountants and any costs related to the prepayment of any debt incurred by GECC as a result of its obligations under the Financing Agreement).

All salary, benefits and other employee costs for such NMHG supplied personnel will not exceed $1.8 million in the first calendar year and will be charged to the Corporation. To the extent that GECC supplies frontroom personnel, all salary, benefits and other employee costs for such GECC supplied personnel will not exceed $1.5 million in the first calendar year and will be charged to the Corporation. All such personnel (whether supplied by NMHG or GECC) will be fully dedicated to the Corporation. Frontroom staffing, and the costs associated therewith, for the period following the first year of operation under this Agreement shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties from time to time based on the needs of the Corporation. Frontroom locations will be at Hyster and Yale brand headquarters and/or such other location(s) designated by Hyster and Yale, respectively.

(d) The Corporation will pay or reimburse all external, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by NMHG and/or GECC in connection with the design, creation and publication of financing and remarketing literature, bulletins, price sheets and promotional literature, provided, however, that the specific type of out-of-pocket expenses to be borne by the Corporation are mutually agreed to by GECC and NMHG in writing.

The Contract Rate for each calendar month shall be equal to the (i) the sum of (x) the actual fixed rate cost of funds charged for such month by GECC to its Commercial Equipment Financing department or any successor thereto (“CEFD”) and as published in GECC’s periodic internal reports entitled “CEFD Interest Rate Details” (the “CEFD Interest Rate Report”) and (y) the actual floating rate cost of funds charged for such month by GECC to CEFD and as published in the CEFD Interest Rate Report, (ii) divided by two (2). As used herein, the term “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day that the commercial banks in New York City are authorized or required by law to be closed.

With respect to each borrowing that is to be evidenced by this Note (each, a “Borrowing”), the Maker hereby irrevocably appoints the Payee as its attorney-in-fact to insert on the Grid (i) the original principal balance of such Borrowing, (ii) the Date of Borrowing of such Borrowing, and (iii) any other information that may be necessary or appropriate with respect to each such Borrowing.

All payments of principal, interest or any other sum coming due under this Note shall be made in immediately available funds in the lawful currency of the United States. Acceptance by the Payee of any payment which is less than payment in full of all amounts due and owing at such time shall not constitute a waiver of Payee’s right to receive payment in full at such time or at any prior or subsequent time. Interest shall be

calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and will be charged for each day on which any principal is outstanding.

This Note is given in connection with, and subject to the terms and conditions of that certain Restated and Amended Financing Agreement OCTOBER 21, 1998 between GECC and the Maker (the “Financing Agreement”).

Time is of the essence hereof.

In addition, if any principal, interest or other sum due under this Note is not received within ten (10) days after the applicable due date, or if there should occur any other Event of Default (as set forth in the Financing Agreement), then the Payee may, at its sole option, (i) accelerate and cause to become immediately due and payable all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under this Note, and (ii) have all of the rights and remedies set forth in the Financing Agreement (which rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other rights and remedies that may be available at law, in equity or by statute).

The Maker may prepay, in whole or in part, any indebtedness hereunder, without premium or penalty. Any accelerated balance or prepayment balance under this Note shall be determined under the simple interest method based upon the actual number of days during which principal was outstanding and using a 360 day year.

It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply with the applicable usury laws. Accordingly, it is agreed that, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Note or the Financing Agreement, in no event shall this Note or the Financing Agreement require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. If any such excess interest is contracted for, charged or received under this Note or the Financing Agreement, or in the event that all of the principal balance shall be prepaid, so that under any of such circumstances the amount of interest contracted for, charged or received under this Note or the Financing Agreement on the principal balance shall exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law, then in such event (a) the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control, (b) neither Maker nor any other person or entity now or hereafter liable for the payment hereof shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law, (c) any such excess which may have been collected shall be either applied as a credit against the then unpaid principal balance or refunded to Maker, at the option of the Payee, and (d) the effective rate of interest shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful contract rate allowed under applicable law as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction thereof. It is further agreed that without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged or received under this Note or the Financing Agreement which are made for the purpose

of determining whether such rate exceeds the maximum lawful contract rate, shall be made, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from Maker or otherwise by Payee in connection with such indebtedness; provided, however, that if any applicable state law is amended or the law of the United States of America preempts any applicable state law, so that it becomes lawful for the Payee to receive a greater interest per annum rate than is presently allowed, the Maker agrees that, on the effective date of such amendment or preemption, as the case may be, the lawful maximum hereunder shall be increased to the maximum interest per annum rate allowed by the higher of the amended state law or the law of the United States of America.

The Maker hereby consents to any and all substitutions or releases of any collateral or security for, or of any party primarily or secondarily liable on, this Note or the Financing Agreement, which may be made, granted or consented to by Payee, and hereby agrees that suit may be brought and maintained against Maker, at the election of Payee, without joinder of any other person or entity as a party thereto.

The Maker hereby waives presentment, demand for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, and all other notices in connection herewith, as well as filing of suit (if permitted by law) and diligence in collecting this Note or the Financing Agreement, and agrees to pay (if permitted by law) all expenses incurred in collection, including Payee’s reasonable attorneys’ fees.

EXHIBIT “F”

RESTATED AND AMENDED TAX ALLOCATION AGREEMENT

THIS TAX ALLOCATION AGREEMENT, dated October 21, 1998 (“Agreement”), by and between GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL CORPORATION, a New York corporation (“GECC”), and NMHG FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”).

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, 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 Corporation (then known as Yale Financial Services, Inc.) from GECC. As a result thereof, the Corporation was then owned twenty percent (20%} by Yale and eighty percent (80%) by GECC.

WHEREAS, 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 along with several related agreements executed concurrently therewith (the Original Shareholders Agreement and the related Agreements shall collectively be referred to as the “JV Agreements”), all of which JV Agreements related to the internal governance and day-to-day management and operations of the Corporation.

WHEREAS, 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 by and among 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 NMHG dealers and to the customers of NMHG and/or the NMHG dealers (“Customers”) for all types and brands of NMHG Equipment. In conjunction therewith, NMHG and GECC have determined to amend and restate the Original Shareholders Agreement and certain of the other JV Agreements, including, without limitation, the Tax Allocation Agreement dated November 8, 1989 (“Original Tax Agreement”).

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Restated and Amended Administrative Services Agreement, dated as of the date hereof between GECC and the Corporation (“Administrative Services Agreement”), GECC is responsible for the preparation of all federal, state and local tax returns of the Corporation and, in the case of state and local tax returns, may, but is not obligated, to consolidate or combine any such return of the Corporation with that of GECC and, possibly, certain affiliates of GECC (any such group being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “GECC Consolidated Group”); and ·

WHEREAS, to the extent that any federal, state or local tax return of the Corporation is consolidated or combined with that of any GECC Consolidated Group, it is contemplated that the Corporation will from time to time pay to GECC the amount of any additional taxes that such GECC Consolidated Group may incur as a result of the inclusion of the results of the operations of the Corporation in such consolidated or combined return and, conversely, GECC will from time to time pay to the Corporation any tax savings that such GECC Consolidated Group may be entitled to as a result of the inclusion of the results of the operations of the Corporation in such consolidated or combined return; ·

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises and the mutual promises contained hereinbelow, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Tax Liabilities. To the extent that the inclusion of the Corporation’s income, deductions and credits (collectively, “Tax Items”) in a consolidated or combined tax return of any GECC Consolidated Group causes the amount of federal, state and local taxes which such GECC Consolidated Group is required to pay for any year to increase, the Corporation shall pay, for any such year, GECC an amount equal to the difference between:

(i) The amount of federal, state or local tax which such GECC Consolidated Group owes with the inclusion of the Corporation’s Tax Items in such GECC Consolidated Group’s consolidated or combined return for such year; and

(ii) The amount of federal, state or local tax which such GECC Consolidated Group would have owed were the Corporation’s Tax Items relating to such year excluded from the consolidated or combined return referred to in (i) above.

Any such payments shall be paid to GECC on or before the date which is thirty (30) days after the date on which such tax payments (including, without limitation, any estimated tax payments) would have been due to the appropriate taxing authority if the Corporation had filed federal, state and local tax returns without consolidation or combination with such GECC Consolidated Group.

Tax Savings. To the extent that the Corporation’s Tax Items are included in any GECC Consolidated Group’s consolidated or combined tax return, GECC shall pay to the Corporation an amount equal to the amount of any net reduction in the GECC Consolidated Group’s tax liability attributable to the inclusion of the Corporation’s Tax Items in such GECC Consolidated Group’s consolidated or combined tax return, with

such reduction in tax to be calculated in accordance with the methodology described in Section 1 above. Any such payments shall be made by GECC on or before the date which is thirty (30) days after the date that any such net reduction or tax saving (collectively, “Tax Savings”) is realized by such GECC Consolidated Group. For the purposes of this Section 2, any such Tax Savings shall be considered to have been realized by the GECC Consolidated Group on the date on which any payment of tax (including, without limitation, any estimated tax payments) is required to be made, or would otherwise have been due, to the appropriate taxing authority were the Corporation’s Tax Items not included in the consolidated or combined return of such GECC Consolidated Group.

Tax Adjustments. (a) If any adjustment (that results in a final determination of tax liability or overpayment) is made by any taxing authority to the tax return of any consolidated or combined group of which GECC and the Corporation are members and such adjustment would have required a higher payment by the Corporation under Section 1 above or a lower payment by GECC under Section 2 above, then the Corporation shall pay to GECC an appropriate supplemental amount to reflect the impact on the Corporation of such final determination of tax liability or overpayment, plus interest thereon and any penalties with respect thereto, which such taxing authority may charge with respect thereto.· (b) Conversely, if any adjustment (that results in a final determination of tax liability or overpayment) is made by a taxing authority to any tax return of any consolidated or combined group of which GECC and the Corporation are members and such adjustment would have required a lower payment by the Corporation under Section 1 above or a higher payment by GECC under Section 2 above, then GECC shall pay to the Corporation an appropriate supplemental amount to reflect the impact on the Corporation of such final determination of tax liability or overpayment, plus interest thereon in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of interest that would have been paid by the Internal Revenue Service were such reduction in tax to be determined in connection with the filing by the Corporation of a separate federal tax return. Alternatively, for non-federal tax filings, interest in the previous sentence shall be determined to mean the incremental interest benefit computed as a result of the inclusion of the Company’s Tax Items in any consolidated or combined non-federal return. In the case of non-federal tax filings, both GECC and the Corporation will work together to determine the incremental interest benefit stated in the previous sentence using generally accepted methods. If, as a result of the complexity of the calculation, there is a dispute as to the benefit, both GECC and the Corporation will agree on a nationally recognized accounting firm to determine said incremental interest benefit. (c) Any supplemental payment required by this Section 3, whether by the Corporation or by GECC, shall be made no later than thirty (30) days after the date on which payments are made to, or refunds or credits are received from, the appropriate taxing authority.

4.	Method of Calculation. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, any tax matters that are required or permitted by applicable law to be determined on a consolidated or combined basis shall be determined on the basis of the applicable

GECC Consolidated Group position for purposes of the computation of any payment due from or to the Corporation under Section 1, 2, or 3 above.

Contests. In connection with any proposed adjustment to any consolidated or combined tax return which includes the Corporation and GECC as members thereof, GECC agrees to exercise in good faith its best efforts to minimize the tax liability of the Corporation; provided, however, that any decision to contest or otherwise oppose any such adjustment shall be controlled solely by the Tax Counsel of the parent company of the applicable GECC Consolidated Group on the basis of what is reasonable, proper and consistent with the overall tax interests of such GECC Consolidated Group.

6.	Further Cooperation. The parties hereto agree to take such further action and to execute such further documents or instruments which may be necessary or appropriate to complete or give effect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

Jurisdiction and Arbitration. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Any and all disputes, controversies or claims arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The number of arbitrators shall be three. One arbitrator each shall be appointed by the minority shareholder of the Company and GECC respectively, and the third arbitrator, who shall serve as chairman of the tribunal, shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association.

(a) With respect to all Equipment leased by NFS under any Lease or Re-lease, NFS hereby appoints NMHG as its agent to provide, and NMHG hereby agrees to provide, Remarketing Services (as defined hereinbelow) to NFS in connection with such Equipment. Such appointment shall be on an exclusive basis, with respect to any Equipment, for the Exclusive Period. (b) As used in this Agreement, the phrase “Remarketing Services” shall mean and include (i) providing a remarketing data base under Section 2.2 below, (ii) providing inspection and abuse billing services under Section 2.3 below, (iii) providing repair services under Section 2.4 below, (iv) storing the Equipment in accordance with Section 2.5 below, (v) arranging for insurance coverage on the Equipment while in storage in accordance with Section 2.6 below, (vi) providing information concerning the estimated fair market value and/or fair market rental value of the Equipment in accordance with Section 2.7 below, and (vii) using best efforts to assist NFS in the sale or Re-lease of the Equipment as provided in Section 2.8 below. In addition to the Remarketing Services set forth in the preceding sentence, NMHG shall, on behalf of NFS, ▇▇▇▇ and collect for the sale, re-lease or other disposition of all Equipment remarketed hereunder. All proceeds from any such sales, re-leases or other dispositions received by NMHG shall be remitted to NFS within five (5) Business Days of receipt.

2.2. Remarketing Data Base. NMHG shall, at its own cost and expense, during the term of all Leases and Re-leases originate and maintain a data base (“Remarketing Data Base”) whereby NMHG will monitor and track with respect to each such Lease or Re-lease: (i) the date of such Lease or Re-lease, (ii) the name and address of the Lessee, (iii) a description of the Equipment leased thereunder, (iv) the location of such Equipment, (v) the expiration date of such Lease or Re-lease, and (vi) such other data as NMHG may deem necessary or appropriate to enable it to effectively and efficiently perform the other Remarketing Services required under this Agreement.

Except for such disclosures to NFS, NMHG shall use its best efforts to maintain all information in the Remarketing Data Base on a confidential basis. NFS hereby agrees to cooperate with NMHG in connection with the origination and maintenance of such Remarketing Data Base.

2.3. Inspection and Abuse Billing Services. (a) Upon the expiration or termination of any Lease or Re-lease, NMHG shall, at its own cost and expense, inspect the Equipment leased thereunder and provide NFS with a written report describing in reasonable detail any maintenance or repairs that are necessary to put such Equipment into its Minimum Return Condition (“Required Repairs”), as well as the estimated cost of such Required Repairs. NMHG shall, on behalf of NFS ▇▇▇▇ the Lessee for, and use its best efforts to collect from the Lessee, the estimated cost of any such Required Repairs and shall promptly remit any recovery from the Lessee (net of any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith) to NFS. Any such net recovery shall be

applied by NFS first to reimburse NFS for any maintenance or repair costs actually incurred by NFS with respect to the related Equipment and any excess shall be deemed “Excess Abuse Billing Proceeds” for such Equipment. NMHG may also recommend any other maintenance or repairs which NMHG may deem to be advisable in connection with readying the Equipment for sale or Re-lease and shall estimate the cost of such maintenance or repairs. (b) In addition, if and when requested by NFS, NMHG shall audit and inspect any Equipment on behalf of NFS during the term of the related Lease or Re-lease. In connection therewith, NMHG shall report in writing to NFS (i) whether all Equipment is located at the equipment location specified in the related Lease Documentation and (ii) as to any Required Repairs. If there are any Required Repairs, NMHG will, on behalf of NFS, use its best efforts to cause the Lessee to perform the same as soon as possible. NMHG and NFS shall from time to time agree upon a reasonable fee and cost reimbursement that NMHG would receive in connection with any services provided under this Section 2.3(b).

2.4. Repair Services.

All such Equipment shall be (i) stored in a secure and commercially reasonable manner (ii) available for inspection and testing by NFS, its agents and employees, any prospective purchaser and any prospective lessee during regular business hours, and (iii) kept free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances arising by, through or under NMHG or its delegate.

If and when NMHG makes payment in full to NFS for any claim that NFS may have against NMHG’s delegate, NMHG shall automatically be subrogated to NFS’s claim against such delegate.

2.6. Insurance Coverage. If and only if requested by NFS, NMHG shall assist NFS in obtaining casualty insurance and/or liability insurance with respect to any Equipment while in storage under Section 2.5 hereinabove. The premiums on such insurance shall be borne solely by NFS.

2.8. Re-leases and Sales. Upon the expiration or termination of any Lease or Re-lease of Equipment, NMHG shall, at its sole cost and expense, use its best efforts to arrange on behalf of NFS for the sale or Re-lease of all such Equipment at the best possible price or rental that is obtainable in an effort to, as the case may be, maximize to the greatest extent possible the profit of NFS in connection therewith or minimize to the greatest extent possible the loss of NFS in connection therewith. In this regard, NMHG shall solicit bids for the purchase or Re-lease of the Equipment, as a unit or in parcels, and shall notify NFS promptly upon receipt of the same. Anything in the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, NFS may accept or reject any such bid within its sole discretion (subject only to any rights or options given to the Lessee under the Lease Documentation). If NFS rejects any such bid, NMHG shall continue to use its best efforts to arrange for the sale or Re-lease of the Equipment as hereinabove provided. If NFS accepts any such bid, (i) the rental or purchase price, plus any applicable sales or use taxes, shall be paid in full to NFS and (ii) NFS shall execute any sale or lease documentation on its own behalf. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED BY NFS, ANY SALE OR RE-LEASE OF THE EQUIPMENT SHALL BE ON AN “AS IS, WHERE IS”, BASIS WITHOUT RECOURSE OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY NFS. NMHG SHALL HAVE NO AUTHORITY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, TO SELL, LEASE OR OTHERWISE DISPOSE OF, OR TO COMMIT NFS TO SELL, LEASE OR OTHERWISE DISPOSE OF, ANY EQUIPMENT WITHOUT NFS’S PRIOR CONSENT.

2.9. Remarketing Fee. As compensation for providing the Remarketing Services to NFS, NMHG shall be entitled to a remarketing fee (“Remarketing Fee”) upon the sale of any unit of Equipment (whether such sale is on a cash basis or financed by NFS), equal to the following: (a) if Total Net Proceeds are less than or equal to zero, then the Remarketing Fee shall be zero, or (b) if the Total Net Proceeds are greater than zero, then the Remarketing Fee shall be equal to the sum of (i) seventy percent (70%) of the lesser of Base Profit (as that term is defined below) or Total Net Proceeds, plus (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the Secondary Profit (as that term is defined below), if any. As used in this Section 2.9, the term “Base Profit” for any unit of Equipment shall be equal to eighteen percent (18%) of the applicable Base Residual; the term “Secondary Profit” for any unit of Equipment shall be equal to the greater of (x) the Total Profit minus the Base Profit or (y) zero; the term “Total Profit” for any unit of Equipment shall be equal to the Total Net Proceeds minus the Base Residual. NMHG shall, at its sole cost and expense, be responsible for calculating the Remarketing Fee for any and all Equipment sold by NFS and shall, upon any request of NFS, permit NFS from time to time to audit such

calculations. Following the Sale Date for any Equipment, NMHG shall invoice NFS for any Remarketing Fee due on such Equipment and NFS shall pay the same to NMHG within forty-five (45) days after its receipt of such invoice.

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, it is hereby agreed and understood that (i) if the Equipment is sold within the Exclusive Period for such Equipment, the Net Sale Proceeds actually received by NFS in connection with such sale shall be included in the Total Net Proceeds for such Equipment (regardless of whether NMHG found the purchaser), (ii) if the Equipment is Re-leased within the Exclusive Period for such Equipment, the Net Re-lease Proceeds actually received by NFS in connection with such Re-lease shall be included in the Total Net Proceeds for such Equipment (regardless of whether NMHG found the lessee), (iii) if the Equipment is not sold within the Exclusive Period for such Equipment, the Net Sale Proceeds actually received by NFS in connection with such sale shall not be included in the Total Net Proceeds for such Equipment unless NMHG actually found the purchaser, (iv) if the Equipment is not Re-leased within the Exclusive Period for such Equipment, the Net Re-lease Proceeds actually received by NFS in connection with such Re-lease shall not be included in the Total Net Proceeds for such Equipment unless NMHG actually found the lessee, (v) no Remarketing Fees shall be payable to NMHG with respect to any Equipment following the expiration or termination of any Lease or Re-lease where, directly or indirectly, the Lessee was NMHG or any of its Affiliates, (vi) no Remarketing Fees shall be payable to NMHG in connection with any purchase or Re-lease of any Equipment, directly or indirectly, by NMHG or any of its Affiliates, (vii) no Remarketing Fees shall be payable to NMHG in connection with any bid solicited by NMHG unless and until such bid is accepted by NFS and a sale or Re-lease is actually consummated in accordance therewith, (viii) no Remarketing Fees shall be payable to NMHG with respect to any Equipment that is subject to a Casualty, and (ix) no Remarketing Fees shall be payable to NMHG in connection with any Equipment if NMHG has materially failed to perform its Remarketing Services with respect to such Equipment.

WHEREAS, on November 27, 1996, the First Guaranty Agreement was amended to expand the scope of the guaranty contained therein to GECC and certain of its other subsidiaries to induce such subsidiaries to provide other loans and extensions of credit to the Dealers evidencing the financing of inventory/accounts receivable. The amendment and restatement of the first Guaranty Agreement shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Second Guaranty Agreement”; and

WHEREAS, in conjunction with the execution of the Shareholders Agreement and the International Operating Agreement, GECC and NMHG desire, with respect to Wholesale Accounts, to amend the nature of the First and Second Guaranty Agreements to coincide with the new international nature of the arrangement between GECC and NMHG.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises, the mutual promises contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I CERTAIN

DEFINITIONS

1.01 “Customer” shall mean and include any customer of a Dealer.

1.02 “Person” shall mean and include any individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, association, joint-stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or government or any political subdivision thereof.

1.03 “Wholesale Account” shall mean and include any loan or other extension of credit to a Dealer, whether in connection with the acquisition of NMHG Equipment by the Dealer or otherwise, but shall not include any loan or other extension of credit by the Corporation to any Customer.

1.04 “Wholesale Account Documents” shall mean any documents evidencing any Wholesale Account.

ARTICLE II

RECOURSE FOR WHOLESALE ACCOUNTS

2.01 Recourse for Wholesale Accounts. In the event of a default under any of the Wholesale Accounts entered into by the Corporation during the period beginning on the date hereof and continuing to the date five (5) years from the date hereof (“Base Term”), NMHG will, within twenty (20) days of demand, repurchase any such Wholesale Account(s) affected by such default and pay the Corporation, the amount then owed by the Dealer to the Corporation under the default pursuant to the terms of the respective Wholesale Account Documents (“Repurchase Price”). For purposes of this Section 2.01, default is defined as the occurrence of any event which would, under the terms of the Wholesale Account Documents, constitute a default. It is not contemplated that the Corporation will automatically exercise its rights to demand repurchase of any Wholesale Account(s) under this Section unless collection of such Account(s) is deemed to be unlikely. Failure on the part of the Corporation to exercise such right shall not constitute a waiver of such right. Upon receipt by the Corporation of the full amount of the Repurchase Price for any Wholesale Account(s), and provided that NMHG is not otherwise in Default under this Agreement, the Corporation will assign all of its right, title and interest in such Account(s) to NMHG (or its designee) without recourse to, or warranty from (of any kind whatsoever), the Corporation.

(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, NMHG hereby agrees that its obligations under this Section 2.01 shall be primary, absolute, continuing and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by, any of the following actions or circumstances (regardless of any notice to, or consent of, NMHG): (aa) the genuineness, validity, regularity and enforceability of any Wholesale Account; (bb) any extension, renewal, amendment, change, waiver or other modification by the Corporation of any Wholesale Account; (cc) the absence of, or delay in, any action to enforce the terms of any Wholesale Account; (dd) the release of, extension of time for payment or performance by, or any other indulgence granted to the Dealer or any other person with respect to any Wholesale Account by operation of law or otherwise; (ee) the existence, value, condition, loss, subordination or release (with or without substitution) of, or failure to have title to or perfect and maintain a security interest in, or the time, place and manner of any sale or other disposition of any NMHG Equipment, collateral or security given in connection with any Wholesale Account, or any other impairment (whether intentional or negligent, by operation of law or otherwise) of the Corporation’s rights to any such NMHG Equipment, collateral or security; (ff) any Dealer’s voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, or similar proceedings affecting the Dealer or any of its assets; or (gg) any other action or circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, NMHG shall have no obligation to repurchase any Wholesale Account pursuant to this Section 2.01 under any of the following circumstances: (i) solely with respect to Wholesale Accounts which are documented solely by the Corporation, if a Wholesale Account proves unenforceable due to the fact that the applicable Wholesale Account Documents are incomplete, (ii) solely with respect to Wholesale Accounts where the Corporation is responsible for the perfection of its security interest in the respective NMHG

Equipment, if a Wholesale Account proves unenforceable due to a failure of the GE Capital Company to obtain and perfect a valid first priority security interest in such Equipment, or (iii) if a Wholesale Account falls into default solely because the Corporation is in default of its obligations under the applicable Wholesale Account Documents.

(b) At least One-Hundred and Eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the Base Term, the Corporation, GE Capital and NMHG shall enter into discussions with respect to the continuing need for recourse on Wholesale Accounts. In the event that the Corporation, GE Capital and NMHG have not reached a mutual agreement as to the provision of recourse on Wholesale Accounts for the period following the expiration of the Base Term on or before the expiration of the Base Term, the Corporation may at the expiration of the Base Term, in its sole discretion, cease providing Wholesale Accounts to Dealers. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, with respect to any and all obligations of NMHG as set forth in this Section 2.01 with respect to Wholesale Accounts which may arise during the Base Term (“Base Term Obligations”), those Base Term Obligations shall nevertheless continue and remain undischarged until the same are indefeasibly paid and performed in full.

2.02 Certain Waivers. With respect to NMHG’s recourse obligation set forth in Section 2.01, notice of acceptance of thereof and of any default by any Dealer or any other Person is hereby waived. Presentment, protest, demand, and notice of protest, demand and dishonor of any Wholesale Account, and the exercise of possessory, collection or other remedies on any Wholesale Account, are hereby waived. Notice of adverse change in any Dealer’s financial condition or of any other fact which might materially increase the risk of NMHG is also waived. All settlements, compromises, accounts stated and agreed balances made in good faith between the Corporation and any Dealer shall be binding upon NMHG.

2.03 No Subrogation. Without the Corporation’s prior written consent, NMHG shall not exercise any rights which it may acquire against any Dealer or the NMHG Equipment or any other collateral or security by way of subrogation under this Agreement, nor shall NMHG seek or attempt to exercise or enforce any of the Corporation’s rights or remedies against any Dealer or the NMHG Equipment or any of the collateral or security in respect of any payments made by NMHG hereunder, unless and until all of the obligations of such Dealer hereby guaranteed have been paid and performed in full. However, nothing in this Section shall be deemed to prohibit NMHG from making demand upon, or suing, any Dealer for any payment made by NMHG on behalf of such Dealer under this Agreement, so long as such demand or suit does not involve (i) any attempt to accelerate or otherwise require such Dealer to pay any amount not paid by NMHG, or (ii) any attempt to repossess, foreclose upon, or otherwise proceed against the NMHG Equipment or any other collateral or security (whether or not NMHG may also have a security interest in or lien upon the same).

2.04 Dealer Credit Lines. In consideration of the recourse set forth above, NMHG and the Corporation shall work together to determine, from time to time, the maximum amount of credit (“Credit Line”) that will be extended to each Dealer. However, it is

expressly agreed and understood that it shall be no defense to NMHG’s obligations under this Article II if such Credit Line is ever exceeded for any reason whatsoever.

2.05 Termination. The recourse obligation set forth above may be terminated by NMHG at any time as to any Dealer upon delivery to the Corporation of a written notice of such termination, but as to all “pretermination obligations” those obligations shall nevertheless continue and remain undischarged until the same are indefeasibly paid and performed in full. For these purposes, “pretermination obligations” shall mean and include all of the Dealer’s obligations under any Wholesale Account in existence, or any proposed Wholesale Account for which the Corporation may have made a commitment, on or before delivery of such written notice of termination.

ARTICLE III

INDEMNITIES

3.01 Lender Liability. NMHG hereby agrees to indemnify, save and keep harmless the Corporation, its respective agents, employees, successors and assigns from and against any and all losses, damages, penalties, injuries, claims, actions and suits, including legal expenses and outside attorneys’ fees, of whatsoever kind and nature, in contract or tort (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or in connection with (i) any decision or recommendation by NMHG to limit, terminate or otherwise modify any Dealer’s Credit Line, (ii) any decision or recommendation by NMHG to the effect that the Corporation should not enter into any Wholesale Account with any Dealer, (iii) any refusal by the Corporation to enter into any Wholesale Account with any Dealer by reason of NMHG’s termination of the recourse set forth in Article 2 above with respect to such Dealer’s obligations, or (iv) any termination or other modification of any Dealer’s franchise by NMHG.

3.02 Product Liability. NMHG hereby also agrees to indemnify, save and keep harmless, the Corporation, its respective agents, employees, successors and assigns from and against any and all Losses arising out of or in connection with the manufacture, sale, delivery, use, specifications, performance, operation or condition of any NMHG Equipment.

3.03 Defense. NMHG shall, upon written request, defend any actions based on any matter covered by the indemnities contained in Section 3.01 or 3.02 above (collectively, “Indemnities”).

3.04 Survival. The Indemnities shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE IV

COLLATERAL AUDITS

4.01 Audits. Upon request, from time to time, by the Corporation, NMHG shall cause an audit to be performed as to all of the collateral or security of any Dealer for any obligation to the Corporation (“Collateral Audit”). At NMHG’s option, such Collateral Audit shall be performed by (i) an auditor not related to the Corporation which has been approved by the Corporation in writing (a “Third Party Audit”) or (ii) by a representative of NMHG (a “NMHG Audit”). If NMHG elects to have a NMHG Audit, NMHG shall give reasonable advance written notice to the Corporation and the Corporation shall have the right to have a respective representative present at the NMHG Audit. In any case, NMHG shall provide the Corporation with a complete written report shortly after any Collateral Audit (“Audit Report”) and such Audit Report shall include, but not be limited to, a duplicate copy of any and all written reports prepared by any third party auditor.

4.02 Costs. (a) The cost of any Third Party Audits performed in any calendar year shall be borne solely by NMHG. (b) NMHG and the Corporation shall pay their own costs in connection with any NMHG Audit.
