AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE LOANS 
AND THE LETTERS OF CREDIT
Credit Facilities.
(a)    Revolving Credit Facility.
(i)    Revolving Loans.  Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make advances (each a “Revolving Loan”) to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Agreement Date until the Maturity Date in an amount for each such Revolving Loan not to exceed such Lender’s Unused Revolving Loan Commitment on such Business Day.  In no event shall the Lenders be obligated to make any Revolving Loan if, on the date of such Revolving Loan and after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Loan Outstandings on such date would exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect.  Each Borrowing shall be in U.S. Dollars in, or the Equivalent Amount in the requested Offshore Currency of, an aggregate amount of U.S. $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of U.S. $1,000,000 in excess thereof (except for the Borrowing made on the Agreement Date) and shall consist of Revolving Loans made by such Lenders ratably according to their Revolving Loan Commitments.  The Equivalent Amount in U.S. Dollars of each Revolving Loan shall be recalculated hereunder on each date on which it shall be necessary to determine the Unused Revolving Loan Commitment, or any or all Loan or Loans outstanding on such date.  Within the limits of each Lender’s Unused Revolving Loan Commitment in effect from time to time, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.1(a), prepay pursuant to Section 2.4 and reborrow under this Section 2.1(a).







(ii)    Swing Line Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth (including the conditions in Article 3), the Swing Line Bank, in its individual capacity, may in its sole discretion make overnight loans in U.S. Dollars to AGCO from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Agreement Date until the Maturity Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding U.S. $25,000,000 (the “Swing Line Sublimit”); provided that after giving effect to any such Borrowings, Revolving Loan Outstandings shall not exceed the aggregate amount of Total Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect.  As it is understood that the purpose for the Swing Line Loan is to fund AGCO’s operating account, the making of the Swing Line Loans and the repayments to the Swing Line Bank may be made on a sweep basis requiring no formal notification from AGCO.  The Swing Line Bank may at its discretion, upon three (3) Business Days written notice to AGCO, choose to require written notification of Swing Line Loans from AGCO, but is not required to do so.  No Swing Line Loan shall be used for the purpose of funding the payment of principal of any other Swing Line Loan.  Each Swing Line Loan shall accrue interest at such rate as may be agreed to between the Swing Line Bank and AGCO, and such interest shall be due and payable in arrears monthly or more frequently as may be required by the Swing Line Bank, and on the Maturity Date.  Within the limits of the Swing Line Sublimit, AGCO may borrow under this Section 2.1(a)(ii), prepay the Swing Line Loans and reborrow under this Section 2.1(a)(ii).
Reserved.
2.2.    Making the Loans.
Notices.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10, each Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than:
(i)    11:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of a proposed Borrowing, in the case of a Borrowing consisting of LIBO Rate Loans;
(ii)    10:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the day of a proposed Borrowing, in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Loans in U.S. Dollars if the aggregate principal amount thereof is less than U.S. $100,000,000; or
(iii)    10:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the Business Day prior to the date of a proposed Borrowing, in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Loans in U.S. Dollars if the aggregate principal amount thereof is U.S. $100,000,000 or more; 
by AGCO, on behalf of the Borrowers, to the Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof; provided, however, in connection with the Borrowing of the initial Loans hereunder, such Borrowing may be made by giving notice by 11:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the Business Day of such Borrowing if such Borrowing consists of Base Rate Loans made in U.S. Dollars. Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be by electronic mail, telecopier or telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein the:







(A)    requested date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and the name of the applicable Borrower for such Borrowing;
(B)    requested Type of Loans comprising such Borrowing which (1) may be a Base Rate Loan or a LIBO Rate Loan if such Loan is denominated in U.S. Dollars and (2) shall be a LIBO Rate Loan if the requested currency for such Borrowing is other than U.S. Dollars;
(C)    requested aggregate principal amount of such Borrowing; 
(D)    requested currency in which such Borrowing is to be made;
(E)    in the case of a Borrowing consisting of LIBO Rate Loans, requested Interest Period for each such Borrowing (including the expiration date thereof); and
(F)    Borrower’s Account of such Borrower for such Borrowing (which shall be with an institution located in the same country as the Administrative Agent’s Account for the requested currency of such Borrowing).
                           Making of Loans by Lenders.  In the case of a proposed Borrowing comprised of LIBO Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (and in any case no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the second Business Day before any LIBO Rate Loan or 1:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the day of any Base Rate Loan) notify each Lender of the applicable interest rate under Section 2.5(a).  Each Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. (Relevant Currency Time) on the date of any Borrowing consisting of LIBO Rate Loans, or 3:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the date of any Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Loans, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account for Borrowings in the applicable currency, in same-day funds, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing in accordance with the respective Commitment of such Lender.  After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrowers by delivering such funds to the relevant Borrower’s Account in the applicable currency; provided that, in the case of any Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall first make a portion of such funds, equal to the aggregate principal amount of any Letter of Credit Advances to the Borrowers made by the Issuing Banks and outstanding on the date of such Borrowing, available for repayment of such Letter of Credit Advances.  Receipt of such funds in the Borrower’s Account shall be deemed to have occurred when the Administrative Agent notifies AGCO, by telephone or otherwise, of the Federal Reserve Bank reference number, CHIPS identification number or similar number with respect to the delivery of such funds.
                 Appointment of AGCO as Agent, Etc.  Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers.  Each Borrower (other than AGCO) (i) irrevocably and unconditionally designates, as its agent for purposes of delivering any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Issuance on behalf of the Borrowers, AGCO and any officer or employee of AGCO, and (ii) acknowledges that (A) any such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Issuance at any time delivered by AGCO or any such officer or employee shall be binding on each Borrower and (B)







neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to determine whether the delivery of any such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Issuance by AGCO or any such officer or director was duly authorized by each Borrower in any specific instance.  In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of LIBO Rate Loans, AGCO shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3, including without limitation any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Revolving Loan, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.
(d)    Swing Line Loans.
(i)    As it is understood that the purpose for the Swing Line Loan is to fund AGCO’s operating account, the Swing Line Loans and repayments to the Swing Line Bank may be made on a sweep basis, requiring no formal notification from AGCO.  The Swing Line Bank may at its discretion, upon three (3) Business Days’ written notice to AGCO, choose to require written notification of Swing Line Loans from AGCO, but is not required to do so.  At any time the Swing Line Bank makes a Swing Line Loan, each Lender (other than the Swing Line Bank) shall be deemed, without further action by any Person, to have purchased from the Swing Line Bank an unfunded participation in any such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (calculated in accordance with Section 2.11(e)(iv) if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender) of such Swing Line Loan and shall be obligated to fund such participation as a Revolving Loan at such time and in the manner provided below.  Each such Lender’s obligation to participate in, purchase and fund such participating interests shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (1) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any other Person may have against the Swing Line Bank or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (2) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments; (3) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of AGCO or any other Person; (4) any breach of this Agreement by any Borrower or any other Lender; or (5) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.  Each Borrower hereby consents to each such sale and assignment.  Each Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share (calculated in accordance with Section 2.11(e)(iv) if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender) of an outstanding Swing Line Loan on (x) the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by the Swing Line Bank, provided that such demand is made not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day, or (y) the first Business Day next succeeding such demand if such demand is made after such time.  Upon any such assignment by the Swing Line Bank to any other Lender of a participation in a Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Bank represents and warrants to such other Lender that it is the legal and beneficial owner of such interest being assigned by it, but makes no other representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to such Swing Line Loan, the Loan Documents or the Borrowers.  If and to the extent that any Lender shall not have so made the amount of such participation in such Swing Line Loan available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount







together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of request by the Swing Line Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.  If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for the account of the Swing Line Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a U.S. Dollar Revolving Loan made by such Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Loan made by the Swing Line Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day.
(ii)    Unless the Swing Line Bank is the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Bank shall provide to the Administrative Agent, on Friday of each week and on each date the Administrative Agent notifies the Swing Line Bank that any Borrower has made a borrowing request or the Administrative Agent otherwise requests the same, an accounting for the outstanding Swing Line Loans in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.  At any time that the Unused Revolving Loan Commitment is less than U.S. $25,000,000, the Swing Line Sublimit shall be reduced temporarily to such lesser amount; and
(iii)    Unless a Default or an Event of Default then exists, the Swing Line Bank shall give AGCO and the Administrative Agent at least seven (7) days’ prior written notice before exercising its discretion herein not to make Swing Line Loans.  AGCO must give ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the then existing Swing Line Bank of any change in designation of the Swing Line Bank.  The replaced Swing Line Bank shall continue to be a “Swing Line Bank” for purposes of repayment of any Swing Line Loans made prior to such replacement and outstanding after such replacement.
                       Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption but without any obligation to do so, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender on the one hand and the applicable Borrowers on the other severally agree to pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to any Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, for the first three Business Days the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and thereafter at the Base Rate (for such applicable currency) and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans (for such applicable currency).  If Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by such Borrowers for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.  Any payment by Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrowers may have against a Lender that 







shall have failed to make such payment to Administrative Agent.  A notice of Administrative Agent to any Lender or any Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this paragraph (e) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
                        Obligations of Lenders Several.  The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 8.6 are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 8.6 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 8.6.
                             Reduction of the Commitments.  AGCO may, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portions of the Unused Revolving Loan Commitments; provided that each partial reduction:  (i) shall be in an aggregate amount of U.S. $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of U.S. $5,000,000 in excess thereof; (ii) shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Loan Commitments; and (iii) shall be permanent and irrevocable.
2.4.    Repayments.
(a)    Optional Prepayments.  The Borrowers may, upon at least three (3) (or two (2) in the case of a Base Rate Loan) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay pro rata among the Lenders of any Class the outstanding amount of any Loans of such Class (other than any Swing Line Loans or Letter of Credit Advances (resulting from a drawing under a Letter of Credit) not participated to any other Lender, in which case, such prepayments shall not be made on a pro rata basis or require prior notice) in whole or in part with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid; provided, however, that in the event that any Lender receives payment of the principal of any LIBO Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating to such LIBO Rate Loan (whether due to prepayments made by any Borrower, or due to acceleration of the Loans, or due to any other reason (except as set forth in Section 2.11(f))), the applicable Borrowers shall pay to such Lender on demand any amounts owing pursuant to Section 10.2.  Any prepayment of the Incremental Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.4(a) shall be in a minimum amount of U.S. $10,000,000, and in an integral multiple of U.S. $5,000,000 in excess thereof, and shall be applied in the manner set forth in Section 2.4(e).  Any repayments of an Incremental Term Loan may not be reborrowed.
(b)    Mandatory Prepayments.
(i)    On any date on which the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be reduced pursuant to Section 2.3, if the Revolving Loan Outstandings on such date shall exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitments after giving effect to such reduction, the Borrowers shall prepay the Revolving Loans or the Letter of Credit Advances in the aggregate principal amount equal to such excess, and shall pay on demand to the Lenders any amounts owing under Section 10.2 as a result of such prepayment.  Each such prepayment by a Borrower shall be applied ratably to such Revolving Loans, or to such Letter of Credit Advances pursuant to draws 







on the same Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower, as AGCO shall designate at the time of such prepayment.
(ii)    If, on the last Business Day of any calendar quarter, the Revolving Loan Outstandings on such date shall exceed one hundred five percent (105%) of the amount of the Total Revolving Loan Commitments on such date (the “Currency Exchange Excess”), such Borrowers shall prepay the Revolving Loans in such amount as may be necessary to eliminate such excess (after giving effect to any payments pursuant to clause (iii) below); provided, to the extent such prepayment would require the repayment of a LIBO Rate Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, AGCO may instead deliver same-day funds to the Administrative Agent for deposit in such interest-bearing account as the Administrative Agent shall specify (the “Borrower Cash Collateral Account”), in an amount equal to the Currency Exchange Excess (net of any prepayment pursuant to this Section).  The Borrower Cash Collateral Account shall be in the name and under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to invest any amounts on deposit in the Borrower Cash Collateral Account.  AGCO grants to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders, a lien on and security interest in the Borrower Cash Collateral Account and all amounts from time to time on deposit therein as collateral security for the performance of AGCO’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The Administrative Agent shall have all rights and remedies available to it under Applicable Law with respect to the Borrower Cash Collateral Account and all amounts on deposit therein.  Promptly after any date on which there shall occur a reduction in the amount of the Currency Exchange Excess, the Administrative Agent will return to AGCO, free and clear of any Lien under this Section, an amount equal to the excess of amounts then on deposit in the Borrower Cash Collateral Account (including accrued interest) over the amount of the Currency Exchange Excess as of the date of and after giving effect to such reduction.
(iii)    If, on the last Business Day of any calendar quarter, the L/C Obligations on such date shall exceed the Letter of Credit Subfacility on such date, AGCO shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account an amount sufficient to cause the aggregate amount on deposit in such L/C Cash Collateral Account to equal the amount of such excess. 
(iv)    Each Borrower shall, within one (1) Business Day of the making thereof by an Issuing Bank, repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank the outstanding principal amount of each Letter of Credit Advance made to such Borrower.
(v)    Each Borrower shall pay the outstanding unpaid principal balance of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, the Revolving Loans and the Letter of Credit Advances made to it on the earlier of (x) the Maturity Date or (y) the date the Loans are accelerated in accordance with the terms and conditions of Article 7 of this Agreement.
Reserved.  
(d)    Interest on Principal Amounts Prepaid.  All prepayments under this Section 2.4 shall be made together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid.







Reserved.
2.5.    Interest.
Ordinary Interest.  Each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan and LIBO Rate Loan to it owing to each Lender from the date of such Loan until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:
(i)    Base Rate Loan.  During such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal at all times to the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin in effect for Base Rate Loans, payable (x) in arrears quarterly on the last day of each calendar quarter during such periods, (y) on the date on which such Base Rate Loan shall be paid in full, and (z) on the Maturity Date.
(ii)    LIBO Rate Loans.  During such periods as such Loan is a LIBO Rate Loan, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Loan to the sum of (x) the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period for such Loan, plus (y) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears on (A) the last day of such Interest Period, (B) if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three (3) months, also on each day that occurs during such Interest Period every three (3) months from the first day of such Interest Period, (C) on the date on which such Loan shall be paid in full and (D) on the Maturity Date.
Interest Rate Basis for Initial Loans and Loans in Offshore Currencies.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Borrowers may not select (i) the LIBO Rate for the Loans, or Loans in any Offshore Currency, to be borrowed on the Agreement Date unless Administrative Agent receives the applicable Notice of Borrowing not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to the Agreement Date, together with a funding indemnity letter from AGCO and such other Borrowers agreeing to pay losses as described in Section 10.2, in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent, or (ii) the Base Rate for any Borrowing, Continuation or Conversion of any Loans (other than a Letter of Credit Advance made by an Issuing Bank) in an Offshore Currency.
Default Interest.  (i) Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) or 7.1(e), or at the election of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders when any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in addition to all of the rights and remedies described in this Agreement, the Borrowers shall pay interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loans at the Default Rate from the date of such Event of Default.  Interest at the Default Rate shall be payable on the earlier of demand by the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders or the Maturity Date, and shall accrue until the earlier of (i) waiver in writing by Required Lenders of the applicable Event of Default, (ii) agreement by Required Lenders to rescind the charging of interest at the Default Rate, or (iii) payment in full of the Obligations.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any interest, fees or other amounts not paid by the Borrowers when due hereunder shall accrue interest at the Default Rate applicable to the Base Rate Loans.









2.6.    Fees.
Administrative Agent.  The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account a fee separately agreed between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and such other fees required by the Fee Letter on the dates set forth therein.
Unused Fee.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Loan Lenders an unused commitment fee (the “Unused Fee”) in U.S. Dollars computed each day, on each Lender’s Adjusted Unused Revolving Loan Commitment, from the Agreement Date until the Maturity Date at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for the Unused Fee in effect from time to time, which fee shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter (commencing with the first calendar quarter ending after the Agreement Date) and, if then unpaid, on the Maturity Date.
Letter of Credit Fee.  From and after the Agreement Date, each Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Revolving Loan Lenders, a fee computed each day at a rate equal to the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin on such day for LIBO Rate Loans on the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding and issued for such Borrowers’ account, which fee shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter (commencing with the first calendar quarter ending after the Agreement Date) and, if then unpaid, on the Maturity Date.  Each such Revolving Loan Lender’s fee shall be calculated by allocating to such Revolving Loan Lender a portion of the total fee determined ratably according to such Revolving Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan Commitments.
Issuing Bank Fee.  From and after the Agreement Date, the Borrowers agree to pay to each Issuing Bank a fee calculated at a rate per annum to be agreed upon by Borrowers and such Issuing Bank on the face amount of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank which fee shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter during which such Letter of Credit was outstanding (commencing with the first calendar quarter ending after the Agreement Date) and, if then unpaid, on the Maturity Date.  Additionally, the Borrowers agree to pay to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, its customary fees for issuing, amending, paying, negotiating or renewing any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, which fees shall be due and payable on the date of each such issuance, amendment, payment, negotiation or renewal.  In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any letter of credit reimbursement agreements or indemnification agreements between any Borrower and any Issuing Bank with respect to the Letters of Credit issued hereunder, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
2.7.    Conversion and Designation of Interest Periods.
(a)    On any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion or Continuation and subject to the provisions of Section 10.1 and so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, AGCO may Convert all or any portion of the Loans (but not Letter of Credit Advances) in U.S. Dollars of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Loans of another Type, or Continue any LIBO Rate Loans







for an additional Interest Period; provided, if (i) less than all LIBO Rate Loans of any Class are Converted or Continued, after such Conversion or Continuation, not less than the minimum amounts specified in Section 2.1(a)(i) (which minimums shall apply equally to any Incremental Term Loan Borrowings Converted hereunder) shall Continue as LIBO Rate Loans of such Class; (ii) less than all Loans comprising part of the same Borrowing are Converted or Continued, the portion of the Loans Converted or Continued must at least equal the minimum aggregate principal amount of a Borrowing permitted under Section 2.1(a)(i) (which minimum amount shall apply equally to any Incremental Term Loan Borrowings Converted hereunder) and all Lenders’ Loans comprising the Borrowing to be Converted or Continued in part shall be Converted or Continued ratably in accordance with their applicable Pro Rata Shares; and (iii) each Conversion of less than all Loans comprising part of the same Borrowing shall be deemed to be an additional Borrowing for purposes of Section 2.7(d), and no such Conversion or Continuation of any Loans may result in there being outstanding more separate LIBO Rate Loan Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.7(d).  Each such notice of Conversion or Continuation shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, or the last date of the Interest Period of the Loans to be Continued, (ii) the Loans to be Converted or Continued, and (iii) if such Conversion is into LIBO Rate Loans or a Continuation of LIBO Rate Loans, the duration and the expiration date of the new Interest Period for such Loans.  Each notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable and binding on AGCO.  If a Borrower requests a Conversion to or Continuation of a LIBO Rate Loan but does not specify an Interest Period, then Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
(b)    On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of LIBO Rate Loans of any Class denominated in U.S. Dollars shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than U.S. $5,000,000, such Loans shall automatically Convert into Base Rate Loans.
(c)    If a Borrower fails to deliver a timely and properly completed notice of Conversion or Continuation with respect to a LIBO Rate Loan (as set forth in clause (a) above) prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, such Borrower shall be automatically deemed to have requested that such LIBO Rate Loan Continue as a LIBO Rate Loan with a one month Interest Period, subject to such Borrower’s right to repay such LIBO Rate Loan at the end of such original Interest Period (which repayment shall be accompanied by any costs under Section 10.2),
(d)    No Borrower shall request a LIBO Rate Loan if, after giving effect thereto, there would be more than twenty (20) LIBO Rate Loan Borrowings outstanding.
2.8.    Payments and Computations.
(a)    Each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder free and clear of any setoff or counterclaim, with such payment (other than repayment of a Swing Line Loan) being paid not later than 11:00 a.m. (Relevant Currency Time) on the day when due in the case of principal or interest on and other amounts relating to any Borrowing in the currency in which such Borrowing was denominated and in any other case in U.S. Dollars, to the Administrative Agent in same-day funds by deposit of such funds to the Administrative Agent’s Account for







payments in the applicable currency.  The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter (and in any event, if received from a Borrower by the time specified in the preceding two sentences, on the day of receipt) cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by a Borrower is in respect of principal, interest, fees or any other Obligation then payable hereunder in a particular currency, to the applicable Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices for payments in such currency ratably in accordance with the amounts of such respective Obligations in such currency then payable to such Lenders, and (ii) if such payment by a Borrower is in respect of any Obligation then payable hereunder to one Lender, to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office for payments in the applicable currency.  Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Assumption and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.6(d), from and after the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder in respect of the interest assigned hereby to the Lender assignee hereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Assumption shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.
(b)    If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations under the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the Loans to which, or the manner in which, such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each Lender ratably in accordance with such Lender’s proportionate share of the principal amount of all outstanding Loans and the Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations owed to such Lender, and for application to such principal installments, as the Administrative Agent shall direct.
(c)    All computations of interest on Base Rate Loans accruing interest at the Prime Rate, shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) days (or three hundred sixty-six 366 days, as the case may be) for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.  All other computations of interest, fees and Letter of Credit fees payable by any Borrower shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, fees or commissions are payable.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate, fee or commission hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(d)    Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or commitment fee, as the case may be; provided that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of LIBO Rate Loans to be made in the next-following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next-preceding Business Day.







(e)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from AGCO prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender.  If and to the extent such Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent makes available to a Lender on such date a corresponding amount, such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.
Sharing of Payments, Etc.  
(a)    Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of any Borrower in respect of any Obligations hereunder, it shall distribute such payment to the Lenders (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the type of Obligations with respect to which such payment was received. 
(b)    If any Lender shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) distributed other than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender):  (1) on account of Obligations due and payable to such Lender hereunder at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time; or (2) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (iii) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender at such time to (iv) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time; such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each other Lender shall be rescinded and such other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such other Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (x) the purchase price paid to such Lender to (y) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lenders) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (A) the amount of such other Lender’s required repayment to (B) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid 







or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.  The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of clauses (a) and (b) above of this Section 2.9 shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.
Letters of Credit.
(a)    The Letter of Credit Subfacility.  Each Issuing Bank agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to issue letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of any Borrower or its Subsidiary from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Agreement Date until sixty (60) days before the Maturity Date (i) in an aggregate Available Amount for such Letters of Credit not to exceed at any time the amount of the Letter of Credit Subfacility, minus the aggregate principal amount of all Letter of Credit Advances to any Borrower then outstanding and (ii) in an Available Amount for each Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Borrower or a Subsidiary of a Borrower not to exceed the aggregate Unused Revolving Loan Commitments on such Business Day.  No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date (including all rights of a Borrower or the beneficiary to require renewal) later than the earlier of five (5) days before the Maturity Date and one (1) year after the date of issuance thereof; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit that expires one (1) year after the date of its issuance may provide for the automatic renewal of such Letter of Credit for additional one (1)-year periods so long as such Letter of Credit, as renewed, shall have an expiration date not later than five (5) days before the Maturity Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Letter of Credit may have an expiration date later than five (5) days prior to the Maturity Date if the requesting Borrower provides, at the time of the issuance of such Letter of Credit, Cash Collateral to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of those Lenders with a Revolving Loan Commitment in an amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the face amount of such Letter of Credit (it being acknowledged that the obligations of the Revolving Loan Lenders to purchase participations in any such Letter of Credit shall terminate on the Maturity Date to the extent of the Cash Collateral for such Letters of Credit maintained by the Administrative Agent on such date).  Each Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank shall require that all draws thereon must be presented to such Issuing Bank by the expiration date therefor, regardless of whether presented prior to such date to any correspondent bank or other institution.  Within the limits of the Letter of Credit Subfacility, and subject to the limits referred to above, the Borrowers may request the issuance of Letters of Credit under this Section 2.10(a), repay any Letter of Credit Advances resulting from drawings thereunder pursuant to Section 2.10(c) and request the issuance of additional Letters of Credit under Section 2.10(b). 
(b)    Request for Issuance, Notices by Issuing Banks.
(i)    Each Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank shall be issued upon notice, given not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day







prior to the date of the proposed issuance of such Letter of Credit, by a Borrower to such Issuing Bank, which Issuing Bank shall give to the Administrative Agent and each Lender prompt written notice thereof.  Each such notice of issuance of a Letter of Credit (a “Notice of Issuance”) shall be by electronic mail, telecopier or telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, specifying therein (1) the requested date of such issuance (which shall be a Business Day); (2) the requested Available Amount of such Letter of Credit; (3) the requested expiration date of such Letter of Credit; (4) the requested currency in which such Letter of Credit shall be denominated, which shall be U.S. Dollars or an Offshore Currency; provided that no Borrower shall make a request for a Letter of Credit in any Agreed Alternative Currency unless it shall have previously obtained the consent of each Revolving Loan Lender to the issuance of such Letter of Credit in such currency; (5) the requested name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit; and (6) the requested form of such Letter of Credit, and shall be accompanied by such application and agreement for letter of credit (a “Letter of Credit Agreement”) as such Issuing Bank may specify to such Borrower for use in connection with such requested Letter of Credit.  No letter of credit issued by a Lender that is not also the Administrative Agent shall constitute a Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement unless (and until) such Lender provides written notice of such Letter of Credit to the Administrative Agent which notice shall include the information described in clauses (1) through (5) of the immediately preceding sentence.  If (x) the requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, and (y) it has not received notice of objection to such issuance from the Required Lenders, such Issuing Bank will, upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3, make such Letter of Credit available to the requesting Borrower at its office referred to in Section 9.2 or as otherwise agreed with such Borrower in connection with such issuance.  In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.  A Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued for the account of each Borrower delivering the Notice of Issuance therefor.  No Issuing Bank shall be obligated to issue Letters of Credit to any beneficiary subject to Sanctions.
(ii)    In connection with any Letter of Credit issued hereunder that contains a statement to the effect that such Letter of Credit is issued for the account of any Person that is a Subsidiary of a Borrower (that is not also a Borrower), such Borrower shall, notwithstanding such statement, be the actual account party for all purposes of this Agreement for such Letter of Credit and such statement shall not affect the applicable Borrower’s reimbursement obligations hereunder with respect to such Letter of Credit.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue a Letter of Credit for the account of any Subsidiary of a Borrower (that is not also a Borrower) unless such Issuing Bank receives such documentation and other information regarding such Subsidiary required by bank regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA Patriot Act, as may be requested by such Issuing Bank.
(iii)    Each Issuing Bank (other than such Person that is also the Administrative Agent) shall furnish to the Administrative Agent such information or written reports regarding the outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, the respective Available Amounts with respect thereto, the currencies in which such Letters of Credit were 







denominated, for whose account such Letters of Credit were issued and any drawings that have been made under such Letters of Credit as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request from time to time.
(iv)    For all purposes hereunder, including the calculation of Revolving Loan Outstandings, L/C Outstandings and Fronting Exposure, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat each Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank (other than an Issuing Bank that is also the Administrative Agent) as outstanding from the later of the date of issuance, or the date Administrative Agent received notice thereof pursuant to the notice delivered by such Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i), unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from such Issuing Bank of the termination, expiration, reduction, amendment, modification or replacement of such Letter of Credit; provided that any notice by an Issuing Bank of the issuance, termination, expiration, reduction, amendment, modification or replacement of a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i) or this Section 2.10(b)(iv) received by the Administrative Agent on a day that is not a Business Day, or after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day.
(c)    Drawing and Reimbursement.
(i)    The payment by an Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit for the account of a Borrower or its Subsidiary shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by an Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit Advance to such Borrower, which shall accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect for Base Rate Loans, in the amount and currency of such draft, and be immediately due and payable in full by such Borrower not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on (1) the Business Day that AGCO receives notice of such payment by the Issuing Bank, if such notice is received prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such Business Day, or (2) the Business Day immediately following the day that AGCO receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time; provided that AGCO may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.2 that such payment be financed with a Base Rate Revolving Loan or Swing Line Loan in an equivalent amount and currency and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to repay the Letter of Credit Advance shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Base Rate Revolving Loan or Swing Line Loan.
(ii)    Upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit by an Issuing Bank, each Revolving Loan Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from such Issuing Bank a participation therein equal to its Pro Rata Share (calculated in accordance with Section 2.11(e)(iv) if any Revolving Loan Lender is a Defaulting Lender) of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit and, upon written demand by such Issuing Bank following a draw on such a Letter of Credit, with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent, each Revolving Loan Lender shall purchase from such Issuing Bank, directly and not as a participation, and such Issuing Bank shall sell and assign to each such other Revolving Loan Lender, such other Revolving Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share (calculated in accordance with Section 2.11(e)(iv) if any Revolving Loan Lender is a Defaulting Lender) of such Letter of Credit Advance resulting from such draw as of the date of such purchase to the extent not 







previously repaid by the applicable Borrower, by making available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, by deposit to the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same-day funds in the currency in which such Letter of Credit was denominated, an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Letter of Credit Advance to be purchased by such Revolving Loan Lender.
(iii)    Each Borrower agrees to each participation, sale and assignment pursuant to this subsection (c).
(iv)    Each Revolving Loan Lender agrees to purchase its Pro Rata Share (calculated in accordance with Section 2.11(e)(iv) if any Revolving Loan Lender is a Defaulting Lender) of an outstanding Letter of Credit Advance made by an Issuing Bank on (1) the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by such Issuing Bank, provided notice of such demand is given not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on such Business Day, or (2) the first Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given after such time.
Upon any such assignment by an Issuing Bank to any Revolving Loan Lender of a portion of a Letter of Credit Advance made by such Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to such Revolving Loan Lender that such Issuing Bank is the legal and beneficial owner of such interest being assigned by it, but makes no other representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to such Letter of Credit Advance, the Loan Documents or any Loan Party.  If and to the extent that any Revolving Loan Lender shall not have so made the purchase price for its Pro Rata Share (calculated in accordance with Section 2.11(e)(iv) if any Revolving Loan Lender is a Defaulting Lender) of a Letter of Credit Advance available to the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Loan Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by such Issuing Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.  If such Revolving Loan Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for the account of such Issuing Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Letter of Credit Advance made by such Revolving Loan Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Letter of Credit Advance made by such Issuing Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day.
Obligations Absolute.  The Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement, any Letter of Credit Agreement and any other agreement or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letter of Credit Agreement and such other agreement or instrument under all circumstances, including without limitation the following circumstances:
(i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (this Agreement and all of the other foregoing being, collectively, the “L/C Related Documents”);







(ii)    any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations of any Borrower in respect of any L/C Related Document or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the L/C Related Documents;
(iii)    the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that any Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), such Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with the transactions contemplated by the L/C Related Documents or any unrelated transaction;
(iv)    any statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
(v)    payment by such Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; provided that this clause (v) shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any claim that any Borrower might have against such Issuing Bank as a result of any such payment that arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank;
(vi)    any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any Guaranty Agreement; or
(vii)    any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including without limitation any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower or a Guarantor.
Defaulting Lenders.  
Cash Collateralization.  At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), AGCO shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.11(e)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.
Grant of Security Interest.  AGCO, and to the extent any Cash Collateral is provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (c) below.  If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, AGCO will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative 







Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
Application.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.11 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
Termination of Requirement.  Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.11 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to this Section 2.11 the Person providing Cash Collateral and each Issuing Bank may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.
Defaulting Lender Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender (or a Defaulting Lender, as applicable), to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:
Waivers and Amendments.  If such Defaulting Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.
Defaulting Lender Waterfall.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 7 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.5 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: FIRST, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; SECOND, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Bank hereunder; THIRD, to Cash Collateralize on a pro rata basis the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.11(a); FOURTH, as AGCO may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; FIFTH, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and AGCO, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize on a pro rata basis the Issuing Banks’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with this Section 2.11; SIXTH, to the payment of any 







amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the Swing Line Bank as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Bank against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; SEVENTH, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and EIGHTH, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans (including any Letter of Credit Advances) in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans (including Letter of Credit Advances) of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans (including any Letter of Credit Advances) of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Loan Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.11(e)(iv).  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.11(e)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)    Certain Fees. 
(A)    No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Unused Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
(B)    No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive the fees for Letters of Credit provided under Section 2.6(c) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender except to the extent allocable to its Pro Rata Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.11.
(C)    With respect to any Letter of Credit fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (B) above, the applicable Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Bank, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s or the Swing Line Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
(iv)    Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Revolving Loan Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders in 







accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Loan Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment.  Subject to Section 11.6, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(v)    Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans.  If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to them hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Bank’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.11.
Defaulting Lender Cure.  If AGCO, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Bank and each Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Revolving Loan Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Revolving Loan Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.11(e)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that (x) no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender, (y) such Lender that ceases to be a Defaulting Lender shall reimburse the other Revolving Loan Lenders for any costs of the type described in Section 10.2 that may be incurred by such Revolving Loan Lenders as a result of the purchase of Revolving Loans required hereunder, and (z) except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
New Swing Line Loans/Letters of Credit.  So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swing Line Bank shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan and (ii) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
Borrower Liability.  AGCO and each Domestic Subsidiary Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable for all Loans and other liabilities hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or of itself or any Borrowing Subsidiary.  No Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall have any liability for any Borrowing or other liabilities hereunder or under any other Loan Documents by 







or of AGCO or any other Borrowing Subsidiary (except as may otherwise be provided in any Guaranty Agreement of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower).
2.13.    Designated Borrowers.
(a)    After the Agreement Date, AGCO may at any time, upon not less than sixty (60) days’ notice from AGCO to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), request that any one or more Wholly Owned Subsidiaries of AGCO (an “Applicant Borrower”) be designated as a Designated Borrower to receive Revolving Loans or to have Letters of Credit issued hereunder by delivering to the Administrative Agent (which shall deliver counterparts thereof to each Lender) a duly executed notice and agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit C (a “Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement”); provided, however, AGCO shall not have any right to request that an Applicant Borrower become a Designated Borrower hereunder if (i) such Applicant Borrower is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of AGCO, (ii) such Applicant Borrower is not a Domestic Subsidiary of AGCO, or (iii) any Default or Event of Default then exists or would be caused hereby.  The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that prior to any Applicant Borrower becoming a Designated Borrower entitled to utilize the credit facilities provided for herein, (1) the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Loan Lenders shall have received all information, documents, and certificates required by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA Patriot Act (including a Beneficial Ownership Certification), and (2) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received a Guaranty Agreement, supporting resolutions, incumbency certificates, certified (if available) governing documents and good standing certificates, opinions of counsel and any other document or information reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, each in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders (collectively, the “Supporting Documents”).  If the Administrative Agent agrees that an Applicant Borrower shall have satisfied all of the requirements of this Section 2.13 and, therefore, be entitled to become a Designated Borrower hereunder, then promptly following receipt of (x) all Supporting Documents, (y) a certificate of an Authorized Financial Officer of AGCO certifying that no Default or Event of Default then exists or would result from the joinder of such Applicant Borrower as a Borrower hereunder and (z) a reaffirmation by each Borrower and each Guarantor of its Guaranty Agreement (if applicable), in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall send a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit D (a “Designated Borrower Notice”) to AGCO and the Revolving Loan Lenders specifying the effective date upon which the Applicant Borrower shall constitute a Designated Borrower for purposes thereof, whereupon each of the Revolving Loan Lenders agrees to permit such Designated Borrower to receive Revolving Loans or to have Letters of Credit issued hereunder, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and each of the parties agrees that such Designated Borrower otherwise shall be a Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement; provided, that no Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Issuance maybe submitted by or on behalf of such Designated Borrower until three (3) Business Days after such effective date.
(b)    The Obligations of the Domestic Borrowers shall be joint and several in nature as more specifically described in Section 2.12.  The Obligations of each Foreign 







Subsidiary Borrower shall be several in nature and not joint except as set forth in any Guaranty Agreement executed by such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower.  No Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required to guarantee the Obligations of AGCO or any Domestic Subsidiary Borrower.
(c)    Each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower and each Domestic Subsidiary Borrower of AGCO that is or becomes a “Designated Borrower” pursuant to this Section 2.13 hereby irrevocably appoints AGCO as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, including (i) the giving and receipt of notices, (ii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and all modifications hereto, and (iii)  in the case of the Domestic Subsidiaries Borrowers only, the receipt of the proceeds of any Loans made by the Lenders, to any such Borrower hereunder.  Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all Borrowers, or by each Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by AGCO, whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein.  Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to AGCO in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Borrower.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) no Persons may become a Borrower except in accordance with this Section 2.13, (ii) each of the Initial Borrowers consents to the addition of Designated Borrowers as “Borrowers” hereunder from time to time in accordance with this Section 2.13, and (iii) only Wholly Owned Subsidiaries of AGCO may become Designated Borrowers.
Incremental Facilities.
(a)    Following the Agreement Date, AGCO may from time to time through the Maturity Date, propose that (a) term loans in U.S. Dollars or the Equivalent Amount in the requested Offshore Currency be made to it or any of the other Borrowers in accordance with this Section (each, an “Incremental Term Loan”) or (b) the aggregate amount of Revolving Loan Commitments be increased (each an “Incremental Revolving Commitment”) by delivering a Notice of Incremental Facility to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto (a “Notice of Incremental Facility”), specifying (subject to the restrictions set forth in clause (b) below) therein the (i) amount of the Tranche of Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments requested (which Tranche shall, unless otherwise approved by the Lenders making such Incremental Term Loans or providing such Incremental Revolving Commitments, be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000,000 and integral multiples of $50,000,000 in excess thereof (or in each case the Equivalent Amount in the requested Offshore Currency)), (ii) requested closing date of such proposed Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments (which shall be at least 15 Business Days from the date of delivery of the Notice of Incremental Facility), (iii) the interest rate to be applicable to all Incremental Term Loans in such Tranche, and (iv) the amount of any upfront or closing fees to be paid by the Borrowers to the Lenders funding such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans or providing such Incremental Revolving Commitments.  Each Notice of Incremental Facility delivered by AGCO shall be binding upon all Loan Parties.  At the time of delivery of the Notice of Incremental Facility, AGCO shall also deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible 







Employee of AGCO certifying (A) that AGCO and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.10 hereof before and after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loan Borrowing or such Incremental Revolving Commitments (as if fully drawn) on a pro forma basis as of the end of the most recent Fiscal Quarter for which financial statements have been delivered to the Lenders, and (B) that no Default or Event of Default then exists or would be caused thereby.
(b)    Repayments of the principal of any Incremental Term Loans may not be reborrowed.  Each Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall bear interest at the Base Rate or the LIBO Rate plus such Applicable Margin as is set forth in the Notice of Incremental Facility related to such Incremental Term Loans, provided, however, the final maturity date of any Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be not earlier than the Maturity Date, and no Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall have any scheduled amortization or other required principal payments that is greater than ten (10%) of the original principal amount thereof in any fiscal year.  All Incremental Term Loans shall for all purposes be Obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents.  Any Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be made on the same terms and provisions (other than upfront fees) as apply to the existing Revolving Loan Commitments, including with respect to maturity date, interest rate and prepayment provisions, and such Incremental Revolving Commitments shall not constitute a credit facility separate and apart from the Revolving Loan Commitments set forth in Section 2.1(a).
(c)    Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of each Notice of Incremental Facility to such Lenders or other Persons that qualify as an Eligible Assignee as may be determined by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion with the approval of AGCO or as may be specified by AGCO.  No Lender shall have any obligation to fund any Incremental Term Loan or to make available any Incremental Revolving Commitment, and any decision by a Lender to fund any Incremental Term Loan or to make available any Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be made in its sole discretion independently from any other Lender.
(d)    If Administrative Agent receives commitments from Lenders and/or from any other Person that (i) qualifies as an Eligible Assignee and is acceptable to AGCO and Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, and (ii) has agreed to become a Lender in respect of all or a portion of an Incremental Term Loan or an Incremental Revolving Commitment (an “Additional Lender”), in excess of the requested Incremental Term Loan or requested Incremental Revolving Commitment, Administrative Agent shall have the right, in its discretion but with the consent of AGCO, to reduce and reallocate (within the minimum and maximum amounts specified by each such Lender or Additional Lender in its notice to Administrative Agent) the shares of the Incremental Term Loan or Incremental Revolving Commitment of the Lenders or Additional Lenders willing to fund such Incremental Term Loan or Incremental Revolving Commitment so that the total committed Incremental Term Loan or Incremental Revolving Commitment equals the requested Incremental Term Loan or Incremental Revolving Commitment, as the case may be. If Administrative Agent does not receive commitments from Lenders (or Additional Lenders) in an amount sufficient to fund the requested Incremental Term Loan or Incremental Revolving Commitment, Administrative Agent shall so notify AGCO and the Notice of Incremental Facility shall be deemed automatically rescinded; provided, AGCO may submit a replacement Notice of Incremental Facility setting 







forth different terms for the requested Incremental Term Loan Borrowing or Incremental Revolving Commitment.
(e)    An agreement to fund Incremental Term Loans or to provide Incremental Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section shall become effective upon the receipt by Administrative Agent of an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and AGCO signed by each Loan Party, by each Additional Lender and by each existing Lender who has agreed to fund such Incremental Term Loans or to provide such Incremental Revolving Commitment, setting forth the new Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitment of such Lenders and setting forth the agreement of each Additional Lender to become a party to this Agreement as a Lender and to be bound by all the terms and provisions hereof, together with officer’s certificates and ratification agreements executed by each Loan Party and such evidence of appropriate corporate authorization on the part of each Loan Party with respect to the requested Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments, any amendments to this Agreement and any other Loan Documents reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in relation to the requested Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitment (which amendments to the Loan Documents (other than this Agreement) Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to execute on behalf of the Lenders), and such opinions of counsel for the Loan Parties with respect to the requested Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitment and other assurances and documents as Administrative Agent may reasonably request.
(f)    If, after giving effect to any Incremental Revolving Commitment, the outstanding Revolving Loans would not be held pro rata in accordance with the new Revolving Loan Commitments, the Revolving Loan Lenders (including, without limitation, any Additional Lenders) shall, on the effective date of the applicable Incremental Revolving Commitment, make advances among themselves so that after giving effect thereto the Revolving Loans will be held by the Revolving Loan Lenders (including, without limitation, any Additional Lenders), on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Revolving Loan Commitments hereunder (after giving effect to the applicable Incremental Revolving Commitment).  Each Revolving Loan Lender agrees to wire immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement as may be required by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing.
2.15.    Extension of Maturity Date.
(a)    Request for Extension.  Borrowers may, by notice to Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) delivered at any time not less than 60 days prior to the Maturity Date then in effect hereunder (the “Existing Maturity Date”) request that each Lender extend such Lender’s Maturity Date to the date (the “Extended Maturity Date”) that is one year after the Existing Maturity Date then in effect; provided such extension does not cause the tenor of any Lender’s Commitment or Loans to exceed five (5) years from the Extension Date upon which such extension becomes effective).  Borrowers may only request two extensions pursuant to this Section 2.15.
(b)    Lender Elections to Extend.  Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not later than the date that is 15 







Business Days after the date on which the Administrative Agent received AGCO’s extension request (the “Lender Decision Date”), advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension with respect to its applicable Commitment or Loans (each Lender that determines to so extend its Maturity Date with respect to its applicable Commitment or Loans, an “Extending Lender”).  Each Lender that determines to extend its Maturity Date with respect to its applicable Commitment or Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Lender Decision Date), and any Lender that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Lender Decision Date or determines to not extend its Maturity Date (a “Non-Extending Lender”) with respect to its applicable Commitment or Loans shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree, and it is understood and agreed that no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to any request made by AGCO for extension of the Maturity Date or Existing Maturity Date.
(c)    Notification by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall notify AGCO of each Lender’s determination under this Section promptly after the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof and, in any event, no later than the date that is 5 Business Days after the Lender Decision Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day).
(d)    Additional Commitment Lenders.  AGCO shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, on or before the Existing Maturity Date in accordance with the procedures provided in Section 10.5(b) as if such Non-Extending Lender was an Affected Lender thereunder, to replace each Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”), each of which Additional Commitment Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Assumption (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.6, with AGCO or such Additional Commitment Lender obligated to pay any applicable processing or recordation fee) with such Non-Extending Lender, pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lenders shall, effective on or before the Existing Maturity Date for such Non-Extending Lender, assume a Commitment and/or Loans (and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its Commitment and/or Loans shall be in addition to such Lender’s Commitment and Loans hereunder on such date).
(e)    Minimum Extension Requirement.  Subject to clause (f) of this Section, if (and only if) the total of the Commitments and Incremental Term Loans of the Lenders that have agreed to extend their Existing Maturity Date and the new or increased Commitments and assumed Incremental Term Loans of any Additional Commitment Lenders is more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments and Incremental Term Loans (other than the Commitments and Incremental Term Loans of any Defaulting Lenders) in effect immediately prior to the applicable Extension Date, then, effective as of the applicable Extension Date, the Maturity Date of each Extending Lender and of each Additional Commitment Lender shall be extended with respect to its applicable Commitment or Loans to the Extended Maturity Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Maturity Date as so extended shall be the next preceding Business Day) and each Additional Commitment Lender shall thereupon become 







a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Lender hereunder and shall have the obligations of a Lender hereunder.
(f)    Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions.  The extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to this Section shall not be effective with respect to any Lender unless:
(i)    no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such extension and after giving effect thereto;
(ii)    the representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, shall be true and correct in all material respects (unless any such representation or warranty is qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the applicable Extension Date, both before and immediately after giving effect thereto, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct as of such earlier date; and
(iii)    the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate from AGCO signed by an authorized officer of AGCO (A) certifying the accuracy of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) and (B) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by each Borrower approving or consenting to such extension.
(g)    Maturity Date for Non-Extending Lenders. On the Maturity Date of each Non-Extending Lender, (i) the Commitment of each Non-Extending Lender shall automatically terminate and (ii) Borrowers shall repay the outstanding Loans of such Non-Extending Lender (and shall pay to such Non-Extending Lender all of the other Obligations due and owing to it under this Agreement) and after giving effect thereto shall prepay any Revolving Loans outstanding on such date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 10.2) to the extent necessary to keep outstanding Revolving Loans ratable with any revised Pro Rata Shares of the respective Lenders effective as of such date, and the Administrative Agent shall administer any necessary reallocation of the Outstandings (without regard to any minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and/or pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement).
(h)    Amendment.  In connection with any extension of the Maturity Date, Borrowers, Administrative Agent and each extending Lender may make such amendments to this Agreement as Administrative Agent determines to be reasonably necessary to evidence the extension.  This Section shall supersede Sections 2.9 and 9.1

Investment Company.  Neither AGCO nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  Neither the making of any Loans, nor the issuance of any Letters of Credit, nor the application of the proceeds or repayment thereof by any Borrower, nor the consummation of the other transactions contemplated hereby, will violate any provision of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any rule, regulation or order of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.

The information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification is true and correct in all respects.  
Employee Relations.

Remedies.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and until such Event of Default is waived in writing by the Required Lenders, or all of the Lenders as may be required by Section 9.1, the Administrative Agent:
(a)    may, and shall at the request of the Required Lenders, by notice to AGCO, declare the obligation of each Lender to make Loans and of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit and the Swing Line Bank to make Swing Line Loans to be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate; 
(b)    may, and shall at the request of the Required Lenders (i) by notice to AGCO, declare the Loans, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Loans, all such interest and all such amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers, and (ii) by notice to each party required under the terms of any agreement in support of which a Letter of Credit is issued, request that all Obligations under such agreement be declared to be due and payable; provided that in the event of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief or any assignment, proposal or the giving of notice of intention to make a proposal with respect to any Borrower under Debtor Relief Laws, (x) the obligation of each Lender to make Revolving Loans and of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit and of the Swing Line Bank to make Swing Line Loans shall automatically be terminated and (y) the Loans, all such interest and all such amounts shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers; and
(c)    may, and shall at the request of the Required Lenders, exercise all of the post-default rights granted to it and to them under the Loan Documents or under Applicable Law.  The Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, shall have 







the right to the appointment of a receiver for the property of each Borrower, and each Borrower hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection each Borrower may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Lenders in connection therewith.
Actions in Respect of the Letters of Credit.  If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may, irrespective of whether it is taking any of the actions described in Section 7.2 or otherwise, make demand upon AGCO to, and forthwith upon such demand AGCO will, pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders in same-day funds at the Administrative Agent’s office designated in such demand, for deposit in such interest-bearing account as the Administrative Agent shall specify (the “L/C Cash Collateral Account”), an amount equal to the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding.  If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or that the total amount of such funds is less than the amount required to be on deposit hereunder, AGCO will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account, an amount equal to the excess of (i) such amount required to be deposited hereunder over (ii) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in the L/C  Cash Collateral Account that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim.  The L/C Cash Collateral Account shall be in the name and under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to invest any amounts on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account.  AGCO grants to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks, a lien on and security interest in the L/C Cash Collateral Account and all amounts on deposit therein as collateral security for the performance of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The Administrative Agent shall have all rights and remedies available to it under Applicable Law with respect to the L/C Cash Collateral Account and all amounts on deposit therein.
Application of Payments.  Subsequent to the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, payments and prepayments with respect to the Obligations made to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Swing Line Bank or otherwise received by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Bank (excluding any funds held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account which shall be applied to, or held to pay, the Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding as set forth in Section 7.3) shall be distributed in the following order of priority:  first, to the reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), if any, incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Bank in the collection of such amounts under this Agreement or of the Loan Documents until paid in full; second, to any fees then due and payable to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document until paid in full; third, to any fees then due and payable to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks under this Agreement until paid in full; fourth, to the ratable payment of interest then due in respect of the Loans and the Swing Line Loans until paid in full; fifth, to the ratable payment of principal of the Loans and the Swing Line Loans and, to the L/C Cash Collateral Account, for any Letters of Credit then outstanding, in each case until paid (or cash collateralized) in full; 







sixth, to any other Obligations not otherwise referred to in this Section until paid in full; and seventh, to Borrowers or such other Person entitled thereto under Applicable Law. 
ARTICLE 8 
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Authorization and Action.  Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Rabobank to take action on its behalf as the Administrative Agent to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to them respectively by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Article 8 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and neither AGCO nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions.  It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.  Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.  As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and Issuing Banks; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, exposes it or any of its Related Parties to liability or that is contrary to the Loan Documents or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under Debtor Relief Laws or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of any Defaulting Lender in violation of Debtor Relief Laws.  Except for action requiring the approval of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to use their discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any rights which may be vested in it by, and with respect to taking or refraining from taking any action or actions which it may be able to take under or in respect of, any Loan Document, unless the Administrative Agent shall have been instructed by the Required Lenders to exercise or refrain from exercising such rights or to take or refrain from taking such action.  The Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability under or in respect of any Loan Document with respect to anything which it may do or refrain from doing in the reasonable exercise of its judgment or which may seem to it to be necessary or desirable in the circumstances, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment.
Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc.  Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with the Loan Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment.  Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:







(a)    shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b)    shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to AGCO or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
(c)    may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, and may rely on any opinion of counsel delivered under this Agreement, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts or any such opinion;
(d)    makes no warranty or representation to any Lender or Issuing Bank and shall not be responsible to any Lender or Issuing Bank for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with the Loan Documents by any other Person;
(e)    shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 3 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent;
(f)    shall not be responsible to any Lender or Issuing Bank for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto (other than its own execution and delivery thereof) or the creation, attachment perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created under or contemplated by any Loan Document;
(g)    shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telegram, telecopy, cable or telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties;
(h)    shall have no liability or responsibility to any Loan Party for any failure on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to comply with any obligation to be performed by such Lender or Issuing Bank under this Agreement;
(i)    shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement unless they have received notice from a Lender, Issuing Bank or Loan Party referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”;







(j)    shall incur no liability as a result of any determination whether the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents constitute a “highly leveraged transaction” within the meaning of the interpretations issued by the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; 
(k)    may act directly or through agents or attorneys on its behalf but shall not be responsible to any Lender or Issuing Bank for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such agents or attorneys;
(l)    shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any Platform, electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person;
(m)    may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon;
(n)    in determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit;
(o)    shall not be liable for any damage or loss resulting from or caused by events or circumstances beyond the Administrative Agent's reasonable control, including nationalization, expropriation, currency or funds transfer restrictions, the interruption, disruption, or suspension of the normal procedures and practices of any securities market, power, mechanical, communications, or other technological failures or interruptions, computer viruses or the like, fires, floods, earthquakes, or other natural disasters, civil, and military disturbance, acts of war or terrorism, riots, revolution, acts of God, work stoppages, strikes, national disasters of any kind, or other similar events or acts, or errors by any Borrower in its instructions to the Administrative Agent; and
(p)    does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any comparable or successor rate thereto.
The exculpatory provisions of this Article 8 shall apply to any agent of the Administrative Agent and any Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided hereunder as well as activities as Administrative Agent.







Administrative Agent, in its Individual Capacity and Affiliates.  With respect to its respective Commitments and the Loans made by Rabobank, Rabobank shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Rabobank in its individual capacity.  Rabobank and its respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Loan Party, any of its Subsidiaries and any Person who may do business with or own securities of any Loan Party or any such Subsidiary, all as if Rabobank was not the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
Lender Credit Decision.  Each Lender and Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or their respective Related Parties and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 3.1 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own independent credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender and Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Notice of Default or Event of Default.  In the event that the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall acquire actual knowledge, or shall have been notified in writing, of any Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall promptly notify the other Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall take such action and assert such rights under this Agreement as the Required Lenders shall request in writing, and the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any liability by reason of its acting (a) pursuant to any such request or (b) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment.  If the Required Lenders shall fail to request the Administrative Agent to take action or to assert rights under this Agreement in respect of any Event of Default within ten days after their receipt of the notice of any Event of Default, or shall request inconsistent action with respect to such Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, take such action and assert such rights (other than rights under Article 7) as it deems in its discretion to be advisable for the protection of the Lenders and Issuing Banks, except that, if the Required Lenders have instructed the Administrative Agent not to take such action or assert such right, in no event shall the Administrative Agent act contrary to such instructions.
Indemnification.  Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrowers) from and against such Lender’s ratable share of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (including without limitation fees and expenses of legal counsel, experts, agents and consultants) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, 







penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses payable by any Borrower under Section 9.4, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrowers.  For purposes of this Section, the Lenders’ respective ratable shares of any amount shall be determined, at any time, according to the sum of:
(a)    the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding at such time and owing to the respective Lenders;
(b)    their respective Pro Rata Shares of the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time; and
(c)    their respective Unused Revolving Loan Commitments at such time.
Successor Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers.  Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent.  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required
Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be any Lender or a commercial bank or other financial institution and having a combined capital and reserves in excess of U.S. $500,000,000. The resignation of such retiring Administrative Agent shall be effective only upon (i) the acceptance of any appointment as an Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, and (ii) the execution of all documents and taking of all other actions reasonably necessary in the opinion of the successor Administrative Agent, in connection with such substitution.  Upon such effectiveness pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as an Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 8 and Section 9.4 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

The Borrowers shall indemnify Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Lender and the Indemnified Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower.  All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with Administrative Agent may be recorded by Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.
No Waiver.  No failure on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or

9.4.    Costs and Expenses.
(a)    AGCO agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of the Loan Documents at any time (including without limitation (i) all reasonable due diligence, syndication, transportation, computer, duplication, Platform, appraisal, audit, insurance and consultant out-of-pocket fees and expenses and (ii) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel (including without limitation New York, local and foreign counsel) for the Administrative Agent with respect thereto, with respect to advising the Administrative Agent as to its respective rights and responsibilities, or the protection or preservation of rights or interests, under the Loan Documents, with respect to negotiations with any Loan Party or with other creditors of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries arising out of any Default or any events or circumstances that may give rise to a Default and with respect to presenting claims in or otherwise participating in or monitoring any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving creditors’ rights generally and any proceeding ancillary thereto).
(b)    Following the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, AGCO further agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents against any Loan Party, whether in any action, suit or litigation, any workout, bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally or otherwise (including without limitation the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent and each Lender with respect thereto), and each Borrowing Subsidiary severally agrees to pay on demand all such costs and expenses in respect of any such enforcement relating to itself.
(c)    AGCO agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender and each of their Affiliates and their officers, directors, trustees, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of, or in connection with the preparation for a defense of, any investigation, litigation or proceeding arising out of, related to or in connection with:
(i)    any acquisition or proposed acquisition;
(ii)    the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on any property of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Action relating in any way to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries; or
(iii)    any financing hereunder;







in each case whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Borrowers agree not to assert any claim against the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender, any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective Related Parties, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to any of the transactions contemplated herein or in any other Loan Document or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans.  The agreements and obligations of AGCO contained in this Section 9.4(c) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
(d)    If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under any Loan Document, including without limitation fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in its sole discretion.
Right of Set-off.  Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (b) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 7.2 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Loans, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.2, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to Section 2.9, to offset and otherwise apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of a Borrower against any and all of the Obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, irrespective of whether such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify such Borrower after any such set-off and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.  The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including without limitation other rights of set-off) that such Lender and its Affiliates may have; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.
9.6.    Assignments and Participations.
(a)    The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except 







that the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraphs (a) through (g) and (j) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraphs (h) through (j) and (l) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (k) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraphs (h) through (j) and (l) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnified Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)    Each Lender and Issuing Bank may assign to one or more banks or other entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation all or a portion of its Commitments, and the Loans owing to it), and each Issuing Bank may assign its Letter of Credit Commitment; provided that:
(i)    any such assignment by an Issuing Bank of its Letter of Credit Commitment shall be of its entire Letter of Credit Commitment;
(ii)    in the case of each such assignment of a Commitment (except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement), (A) the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than U.S. $5,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of U.S. $500,000 in excess thereof, and (B) the assignor shall simultaneously assign to the assignee a ratable share of (1) all participations in Letters of Credit issued for the account of Borrowers or their Subsidiaries and then outstanding, and (2) all Letter of Credit Advances then owing to such Lender as a result of draws on Letters of Credit issued for the account of Borrowers or their Subsidiaries;
(iii)    such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee; 
(iv)    the proposed assignment (if other than an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such Lender) shall be approved by (x) the Administrative Agent, and (y) if no Default then exists, AGCO; the foregoing approvals in each case not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that AGCO shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof; provided, further, that AGCO’s consent shall not be required during the primary syndication of the facilities hereunder; and
(v)    the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for its own account, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of U.S. $3,500,







payable by the assignee to the Administrative Agent (with only one such fee payable in connection with contemporaneous assignments pursuant to the same Assignment and Assumption to or by two or more Approved Funds of a single Lender), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(c)    In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of AGCO and the Administrative Agent, the applicable Pro Rata Share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Bank and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
(d)    Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Assumption:
(i)    the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder; and
(ii)    the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement and under each other Loan Document (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 9.4 and 10.1 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(e)    By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:







(i)    other than as provided in such Assignment and Assumption, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto;
(ii)    such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Borrower or the performance or observance by any Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto;
(iii)    such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 3.1 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption;
(iv)    such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement;
(v)    such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee or an Affiliate of the assignor;
(vi)    such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; 
(vii)    such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender; and
(viii)    that the benefit of the security interests and guarantees attached to the rights being assigned shall be transferred to the benefit of the assignee upon the completion of such assignment.
(f)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.2 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Issuing Banks and the Lenders and their respective Commitments, the Letter of Credit Commitments of each Issuing Bank, and the principal amount of the Loans owing under each Class of Loans to each Lender from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this 







Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower, Issuing Bank or Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(g)    Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Assumption has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto:
(i)    record the information contained therein in the Register; and
(ii)    give prompt notice thereof to the Borrowers.
(h)    Each Lender may sell participations (without any notice to, or consent of, the Administrative Agent or any Borrower) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it) to a financial institution (a “Participant”); provided that;
(i)    such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation its Commitments) shall remain unchanged;
(ii)    such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations;
(iii)    the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.
For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 8.6 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).
(i)    Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders affected thereby that affects such Participant.  The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 10.1, 10.2 and 10.4 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 10.4 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 10.4 shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 10.5 as if it were an assignee under paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 10.1 and 10.4, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive had the participation not occurred.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 10.5 with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled 







to the benefits of Section 9.5 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.9 as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(j)    Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.6, disclose to the assignee or Participant or proposed assignee or Participant, any public information relating to any Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower and any information conspicuously labeled by a Borrower as being confidential at the time such information is furnished to such Lender if such assignee or Participant or proposed assignee or Participant has agreed to keep such information confidential.
(j)    Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.6, disclose to the assignee or Participant or proposed assignee or Participant, any public information relating to any Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower and any information conspicuously labeled by a Borrower as being confidential at the time such information is furnished to such Lender if such assignee or Participant or proposed assignee or Participant has agreed to keep such information confidential.
(k)    Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including without limitation the Loans owing to it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any Lender that is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including without limitation the Loans owing to it) to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee.
(l)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.6 to the contrary, any Farm Credit Bank that (i) has purchased a participation or sub-participation in the minimum amount of $4,500,000 on or after the Agreement Date, (ii) is, by written notice to AGCO and the Administrative Agent (“Voting Participant Notification”), designated by the selling Lender as being entitled to be accorded the rights of a voting participant hereunder, and (iii) receives the prior written consent of 







the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, to become a Voting Participant (any Farm Credit Bank so designated and consented to being called a “Voting Participant”), shall be entitled to vote for so long as such Farm Credit Bank owns such participation and notwithstanding any subparticipation by such Farm Credit Bank (and the voting rights of the selling Lender shall be correspondingly reduced), on a dollar for dollar basis, as if such participant or subparticipant were a Lender, on any matter requiring or allowing a Lender to provide or withhold its consent, or to otherwise vote on any proposed action.  To be effective, each Voting Participant Notification shall, with respect to any Voting Participant, (x) state the full name, as well as all contact information required of an assignee in any Assignment and Assumption and (y) state the dollar amount of the participation purchased in each Class of Loans.  The selling Lender and the Voting Participant shall notify the Administrative Agent and AGCO within 3 Business Days’ of any termination of, or reduction or increase in the amount of, such participation.  AGCO and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on information contained in notices delivered pursuant to this paragraph.  The voting rights hereunder are solely for the benefit of the Voting Participant and shall not inure to any assignee or participant of the Voting Participant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Farm Credit Bank designated as a Voting Participant in Schedule 9.6 hereto shall be a Voting Participant without delivery of a Voting Participant Notification (and the voting rights of the selling Lender identified on such Schedule shall be correspondingly reduced, respectively) and without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, in each case in connection with their respective participation interests set forth on such Schedule as of the Agreement Date.
Marshalling; Payments Set Aside.  Neither the Administrative Agent, any Lender nor any Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrowers or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.  To the extent that a Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Banks or any of such Persons exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, right and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
Patriot Act.  Each Lender hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107‐56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower and the other Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and the other Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Borrower and the other Loan Parties in accordance with the USA Patriot Act. Each Borrower hereby agrees to provide, and cause each other Loan Party to provide, such information promptly upon the request of Administrative Agent or any Lender.
ARTICLE 10 
INCREASED COSTS, TAXES, ETC.
10.1.    Increased Costs, Alternate Rate of Interest, Illegality, Etc.







Increased Costs.  If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Bank; 
(ii)    subject any Recipient to any tax of any kind (other than Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes) on its Loans, loan principal, Letter of Credit, Commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii)    impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any LIBO Rate Loans or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), in any case to or for the account of any Borrower, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, upon request of such Lender or other Recipient, such Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
Capital Requirements. If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank, in any case to or for the account of any Borrower, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time such Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
Certificate for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth the amount of additional interest or the amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to AGCO, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrowers shall pay the 







Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt of AGCO thereof.
Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies such Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
Inability to Determine Rate.  If, with respect to any LIBO Rate Loans in U.S. Dollars or any Offshore Currency, (1) Lenders owed more than fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding aggregate unpaid principal amount such Loans in such currency notify the Administrative Agent that the LIBO Rate for any Interest Period for such Loans in such currency will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their LIBO Rate Loans in such currency for such Interest Period, or (2) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for Loan in such currency the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the affected Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon:
(i)    the obligation of the Lenders to make, continue or convert any Loans into, such LIBO Rate Loans in the affected currency shall be suspended;
(ii)    if an Offshore Currency is the affected currency, the affected Borrower shall, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period, prepay in full such LIBO Rate Loans in the affected currency (provided, that if the affected Borrower shall fail to prepay such LIBO Rate Loans in the affected currency as required under this clause (ii), on and after the date such prepayment is due, the interest for the LIBO Rate Loans in the affected currency shall be calculated, including for purposes of any interest required under Section 2.5(c), based on the Base Rate); and
(iii)    if U.S. Dollars are the affected currency, each such LIBO Rate Loan denominated in U.S. Dollars will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan, until the Administrative Agent shall notify the affected Borrowers that such Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make LIBO Rate Loans in U.S. Dollars or any Offshore Currency or to continue to fund or maintain such LIBO Rate Loans hereunder, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent:







(i)    the obligation of such Lender to make, continue or convert any Loans into, LIBO Rate Loans in the affected currency shall be suspended;
(ii)    if an Offshore Currency is the affected currency, the affected Borrower shall, on the earlier of the last day of the then existing Interest Period and such date as may be required by law, prepay in full all Revolving Loans in the affected currency (provided, that if the affected Borrower shall fail to prepay such LIBO Rate Loans in the affected currency as required under this clause (ii), on and after the date such prepayment is due, the interest for the LIBO Rate Loans in the affected currency shall be calculated, including for purposes of any interest required under Section 2.5(c), based on the Base Rate); and
(iii)    each LIBO Rate Loan denominated in U.S. Dollars will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Loan, 
until the Administrative Agent shall notify the affected Borrowers that such Lender has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
Event of Default.  During the continuance of any Event of Default, and upon the election of the Required Lenders, during the continuance of any Default:
(i)    the obligation of the Lenders to make, continue or convert any Loans into, LIBO Rate Loans shall be suspended;
(ii)    if an Offshore Currency is the affected currency, the Borrowers will, on the last day of the then-existing Interest Period therefor, prepay each LIBO Rate Loan in the affected currency (provided, that if the affected Borrower shall fail to prepay such LIBO Rate Loans in the affected currency as required under this clause (ii), on and after the date such prepayment is due, the interest for the LIBO Rate Loans in the affected currency shall be calculated, including for purposes of any interest required under Section 2.5(c), based on the Base Rate); and
(iii)    each LIBO Rate Loan denominated in U.S. Dollars will automatically, on the last day of the then-existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan.
Successor Rate.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents:
(i)    if  Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or Borrowers or Required Lenders notify Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to Borrowers) that Borrowers or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:
(A)    adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period and currency, including, without limitation, because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or 
(B)    the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a 







specific date after which the LIBO Rate for a currency or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”) in such currency; or
(ii)    if Administrative Agent and Borrowers determine that syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace the LIBO Rate for such currency,
then, reasonably promptly after such determination by Administrative Agent or receipt by Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, Administrative Agent and Borrowers may amend this Agreement to replace the LIBO Rate for such currency with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then prevailing market convention for determining interest rates for loans for similar multi-currency denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes and notwithstanding anything in Section 9.1 to the contrary, any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and Borrowers unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.  If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Borrowers and each Lender.  Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make, Convert or Continue LIBO Rate Loans shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected LIBO Rate Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) the LIBO Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate.  Upon receipt of such notice, Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, Conversion to or Continuation of LIBO Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected LIBO Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein provided, however, if such Borrowing is to be denominated in an Offshore Currency, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a LIBO Rate Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month.  Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.
Breakage Costs.  If any prepayment or payment (or failure to prepay after the delivery of a notice of prepayment) of principal of, or Conversion of, any LIBO Rate Loan is made by any Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, as a result of a payment or Conversion, acceleration of the maturity of any of the Obligations pursuant to Section 7.2 or for any other reason, or by an Eligible Assignee to a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan upon an assignment of rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.5, such Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for all losses, costs or expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such 







failure, including without limitation foreign exchange losses, based on customary funding and foreign exchange hedging arrangements, whether or not such arrangements actually occur, and any and all other losses, costs or expenses incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any Borrowing and the unavailability of funds as a result of such Borrower failing to prepay any amount when specified in a notice of prepayment or otherwise when due, but excluding loss of anticipated profits.  A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in this Section and delivered to AGCO, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
Judgment Currency.
(a)    If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in any currency (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”) the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency at 11:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the second Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.
(b)    The obligation of a Borrower in respect of any sum due in the Original Currency from it to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency; if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the Original Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the Original Currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to such Borrower such excess.
Taxes.
(a)    Any and all payments by any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.9, free and clear of and without deduction or withholding of any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law.  If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under 







this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.
(b)    In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, Other Taxes. 
(c)    The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Recipient for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full amount of taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section, paid by or imposed on such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be), including without limitation any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date such Recipient makes written demand therefor, and delivers to AGCO a certificate describing in reasonable detail the manner in which the indemnified amount was calculated; provided that a Recipient shall not be required to describe in such certificate information that such Recipient deems to be confidential or the disclosure of which is inconsistent with such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s internal policies.  Any such calculation shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.6(i) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (c).
(d)    Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrowers shall furnish to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.2, the original receipt of payment thereof or a certified copy of such receipt.  In the case of any payment hereunder by the Borrowers through an account or branch outside the United States or on behalf of the Borrowers by a payor that is not a United States person, if the Borrowers determine that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, the Borrowers shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Administrative Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes.  For purposes of this subsection (d) and subsection (e), the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.







(e)    Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, in each other case, shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each initial Lender hereunder, and on the date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but only so long thereafter as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), provide the Administrative Agent and AGCO with (i) if such Lender claims an exemption from withholding tax pursuant to its portfolio interest exception, (1) a statement of the Lender that it is not (I) a “bank” as described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (II) a ten percent (10%) shareholder of any Borrower (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code), or (III) a controlled foreign corporation related to any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code; and (2) a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; (ii) if such Lender claims an exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; (iii) if such Lender claims that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such Lender, a properly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI; (iv) to the extent such Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; and (v) such other form or forms as may be required under the Internal Revenue Code or other laws of the United States as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax.  If the appropriate forms provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates an interest-withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Lender provides the appropriate form certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such form; provided that, if at the date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which a Lender assignee becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender assignor was entitled to payments under subsection (a) in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date by a Borrower, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includible in Taxes) withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender assignee on such date.  If any form or document referred to in this subsection (e) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the Agreement Date by IRS Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or other form that the applicable Borrower has indicated in writing to the Lenders on the Agreement Date as being a required form to avoid or reduce withholding tax on payments under this Agreement, that a Lender reasonably considers to be confidential, such Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information.
(f)    If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender in an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction.  If the forms or other documentation required by subsection (e) of this Section are not delivered to the 







Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.6 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection (f).
(g)    For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrowers with the appropriate form described in subsection (e) (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring after the date on which a form originally was required to be provided or if such form otherwise is not required under subsection (e)), such Lender shall not be entitled to an additional payment or indemnification under subsection (a) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrowers shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.
(h)    If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 10.4 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 10.4), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.







(i)    Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 10.4 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder.
(j)    if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to AGCO and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by AGCO or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by AGCO or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (n), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Mitigation; Replacement of a Lender.
Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation under Sections 10.1(a) and (b), gives a notice under Section 10.1(f), or requires the Loan Parties to pay any Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 10.4, then such Lender shall (at the request of AGCO) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 10.1(a) and (b) or Section 10.4, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for a notice under Section 10.1(f), and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
Replacement of a Lender.  Subject to the second and third paragraphs of this Section 10.5, if:
(i)    a Revolving Loan Lender requests compensation under Sections 10.1(a) and (b) or Section 10.4 and other Lenders holding Revolving Loan Commitments equal to at least one-third of the Total Revolving Loan Commitments shall not have made a similar request;
(ii)    an Incremental Term Loan Lender requests compensation under Sections 10.1(a) and (b) or Section 10.4 and other Lenders holding Incremental Term Loans of the same Tranche equal to at least one-third of the aggregate outstanding Incremental Term Loans of such Tranche shall not have made a similar request;







(iii)    the obligation of a Lender to make LIBO Rate Loans or to Convert Base Rate Loans into LIBO Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 10.1(e) or (f) in circumstances in which such obligations of other Lenders holding Revolving Loan Commitments and Incremental Term Loans equal to at least one-third of all Revolving Loan Commitments and the aggregate outstanding Incremental Term Loans shall not have been suspended; 
(iv)    a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender;
(v)    a Revolving Loan Lender is prohibited or restricted from making Loans in the jurisdiction of an Applicant Borrower and other Revolving Loan Lenders holding Revolving Loan Commitments equal to at least 50% of the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments shall not be subject to any such prohibition or restriction; or
(vi)    any Lender that is not the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent becomes a Non-Consenting Lender,
then so long as such condition occurs and is continuing the Administrative Agent (i) may replace such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), or cause such Affected Lender to be replaced, or (ii) upon the written request of AGCO, the Administrative Agent shall replace such Affected Lender with an Eligible Assignee identified by AGCO (the “Replacement Lender”), by having such Affected Lender sell and assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including for purposes of this Section, participations in Letters of Credit, Letter of Credit Advances and in Swing Line Loans) to the Replacement Lender pursuant to Section 9.6; provided that (i) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 10.1 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 10.4, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter, (ii) in case of any such assignment resulting from the suspension of the obligation of a Lender to make LIBO Rate Loans or to Convert Base Rate Loans into LIBO Rate Loans pursuant to Section 10.1(e) or (f), such assignment will result in the revocation of such suspension, (iii) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law, and (iv) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the Replacement Lender shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent; provided, however, that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to identify or locate a Replacement Lender for the Borrowers (it being expressly agreed that in such circumstances it AGCO’s obligation to identify or locate a Replacement Lender).  Upon receipt by any Affected Lender of a written notice from the Administrative Agent stating that the Administrative Agent or AGCO is exercising the replacement right set forth in this Section, such Affected Lender shall sell and assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including for purposes of this Section, participations in Letters of Credit, Letter of Credit Advances and in Swing Line Loans) to the Replacement Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and Section 9.6 for a purchase price equal to the sum of the principal amount of such Affected Lender’s Loans so sold and assigned, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and its ratable share of all fees to which it is entitled through the assignment date.
Subject to the execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender by the Replacement Lender of an Assignment and Assumption (and the approval thereof 







by the applicable Persons specified in Section 9.6(b)(iv)) and the payment to the Administrative Agent by AGCO on behalf of such Affected Lender of the assignment fee specified in Section 9.6(b)(v) and any costs as a result of the assignment pursuant to Section 10.2, the Replacement Lender shall succeed to the rights and obligations of such Affected Lender hereunder and such Affected Lender shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights hereunder; provided that the obligations of the Borrowers to such Affected Lender under Sections 10.1, 10.3 and 10.4 with respect to events occurring or obligations arising before or as a result of such replacement shall survive such replacement.

ARTICLE 11 
JURISDICTION

(a)    submits to the jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in New York City and any appellate court from any thereof in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document;
(b)    agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or in such federal court;
(c)    waives, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding;
(d)    consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to such party at its address specified in Section 9.2; and
(e)    agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.
Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between and among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  Except as provided in Section 3.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Administrative Agent and when Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
Electronic Execution of Assignments.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
.    No Liability of the Issuing Banks.  Each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit.  No Issuing Bank or any of its Related Parties shall be liable or responsible for:
(a)    the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith;
(b)    the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged;
(c)    payment by such Issuing Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; or
(d)    any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit;
(e)    except that no Borrower shall have a claim against such Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall be liable to a Borrower, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by such Borrower that such Borrower proves were caused by:







(i)    such Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment, in determining whether documents presented under any Letter of Credit comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit; or
(ii)    such Issuing Bank’s willful failure to make lawful payment under a Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and certificates strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit.
In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, any Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.
Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EACH ISSUING BANK AND EACH LENDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE LOANS OR THE ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY LENDER IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.
Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
Certain ERISA Matters.  Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender 







party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of Borrowers or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(ii)    (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or
(iii)    such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.
(b)    In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has not provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of Borrowers or any other Loan Party, that:

(iii)    the Person making the investment decision on behalf of such Lender with respect to the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to particular transactions and investment strategies (including in respect of the Obligations),
(iv)    the Person making the investment decision on behalf of such Lender with respect to the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement is a fiduciary under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code, or both, with respect to the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement and is responsible for exercising independent judgment in evaluating the transactions hereunder, and
(v)    no fee or other compensation is being paid directly to the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates for investment advice (as opposed to other services) in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement.
ARTICLE 12 
CONFIDENTIALITY
The Administrative Agent and the Lenders each individually (and not jointly or jointly and severally) agree that material, non-public information regarding Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans shall be treated by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in a confidential manner, and shall not be disclosed by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to Persons who are not parties to this Agreement, except: (a) to attorneys for and other advisors, accountants, auditors, and consultants to any Lender of any Issuing Bank, (b) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and required to keep such information confidential) or any other party hereto, (c) as may be required by statute, decision or other judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation, (d) as may be agreed to in advance by Borrowers or their Subsidiaries or as requested or required by any Governmental Authority pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process, or to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (e) as to any such information that is or becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of prohibited disclosure by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders) or becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in,

SCHEDULE 4.1(t)


Sanctions


AGCO International Holdings BV (“AGCO BV”) is currently engaged in two joint ventures with
the Russian company, GAZ Group. GAZ Group, together with its ultimate owner Oleg Deripaska, became subject to US sanctions in early April 2018.


The first joint venture, AGCO Machinery LLC, is focused on the distribution of AGCO products in Russia. It is 100% owned by AGCO-RM (Distribution) Holding B.V, a Dutch holding company, which in turn is owned 51% by AGCO BV and 49% by a GAZ Dutch company.


The second joint venture, Golaz OJSC, is focused on the assembly, localization and production of imported AGCO products into the Russian market. It is 100% owned by AGCO-RM (Manufacturing) Holding BV, a Dutch holding company, which is owned 49% by AGCO BV and 51% by a GAZ Dutch company.


Both joint ventures are consolidated in AGCO’s accounts even though Golaz OJSC does not qualify as a Subsidiary or Affiliate for the purposes of the Credit Agreement. The AGCO Machinery LLC investment is consolidated by virtue of the 51% shareholding, and the Golaz OJSC investment as a result of this entity’s reliance on AGCO Machinery LLC to distribute its output.


On May 22, 2018, OFAC agreed to issue a general license extending the wind down period for GAZ Group and its subsidiaries until October 23, 2018.


AGCO understands that GAZ Group is currently in negotiations with the United States Treasury Department and may seek to have sanctions lifted or the deadline extended further. AGCO is evaluating its options and will determine its course of action once the success or failure of those negotiations is known. In any event, AGCO is committed to having its interest in these joint venture be in compliance with sanctions laws and has been working with its US, Dutch and Russian counsel to ensure such compliance.

7. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Designated Borrower and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, together with their respective successors and assigns.


8. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof insofar as such principles would defer to the substantive laws of some other jurisdiction.


9. Loan Document. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a Loan Document for all purposes under the Credit Agreement.


10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and  the same Agreement.
