PURPOSE OF THE PLAN The purpose of the NACCO Industries, Inc. Supplemental Annual Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Plan") is to further the profits and growth of NACCO Industries, Inc.

(b) "Committee" means the Nominating, Organization and Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors or any other committee appointed by the Company's Board of Directors to administer this Plan in accordance with Section 3, so long as any such committee consists of not less than two directors of the Company and so long as each member of the Committee is not an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. (c) "Participant" means any salaried employee of the Company who in the judgment of the Committee occupies a key position in which his efforts may significantly contribute to the profits or growth of the Company. Employees of the Company's subsidiaries shall not be eligible to participate in this Plan.

(e) "Target Award" means a dollar amount equal to the amount of cash to be paid to a Participant under the Plan assuming that all performance targets are met. The Target Award, together with the target amounts for the Participant under the Company's other incentive compensation plans, shall be in an amount which is competitive with similar target awards at other similarly situated companies. 3. ADMINISTRATION This Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have complete authority to interpret all provisions of this Plan consistent with law, to prescribe the form of any instrument evidencing any Target Award or Award under this Plan, to adopt, amend and rescind general and special rules and regulations for its administration, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan; provided, however, that no such action may be taken by the Committee which would cause any amounts to be paid to a Participant who is, or is determined by the Committee to be likely to become, a "covered employee" to be includable as "applicable employee remuneration" of such Participant, as such terms are defined in Section 162(m). A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum, and the action of members of the Committee present at any meeting at which a quorum is present, or acts unanimously approved in writing, shall be the act of the Committee. All acts and decisions of the Committee with respect to any questions arising in connection with the administration and interpretation of this Plan, including the severability of any or all of the provisions hereof, shall be conclusive, final and binding upon the Company and all present and former Participants, all other employees of the Company, and their respective descendants, successors and assigns. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any such act or decision made in good faith. 4. ELIGIBILITY Each Participant, including directors of the Company who are also salaried employees of the Company, shall be eligible to participate in this Plan and receive Awards in accordance with Section 5. 5. AWARDS The Committee may, from time to time and upon such conditions as it may determine, authorize the payment of Awards to Participants, which shall be not inconsistent with, and shall be subject to all of the requirements of, the following provisions: (a) Not later than the ninetieth day of each calendar year, the Committee shall approve (i) a Target Award to be granted to each Participant and (ii) one or more performance targets and formulas for determining the amount of each Award. Performance targets shall be based upon the return on total capital employed, return on equity, return on tangible assets employed, economic value income, net income, market share, sales development or support costs of the Company and/or its subsidiaries; provided, however, that performance targets which are used in the Plan will not be used in the Company's Annual Incentive Compensation Plan in the same year. (b) Not later than the ninetieth day of the following calendar year, the Committee shall approve: (i) a preliminary calculation of the amount of each Award based upon the application of the formulas and actual performance to the Target Awards previously determined in accordance with Section 5(a); and (ii) a final calculation of the amount of each Award to be paid to each Participant for the prior year, which amount shall be not greater than the amount determined in accordance with Section 5(b)(i). The Committee shall have the power to decrease, but not to increase, the amount of any Award below the amount determined in accordance with Section 5(b)(i); provided, however, that no Award, including any Award equal to the Target Award, shall be payable under the Plan to any Participant except as determined by the Committee. (c) Promptly following the determination of Awards for the Participants pursuant to Section 5(b)(ii), the Company shall pay the amount of such Awards to the Participants in cash, subject to all withholdings and deductions pursuant to Section 6.
