ARTICLE 2.
THE TERM LOAN FACILITY


Section 2.1.    The Term Loan.  Subject to the terms and conditions of, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties made in, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly with any other Lender, to make a term loan in Euros to the Borrower on the Agreement Date in an aggregate principal amount equal to its Commitment.  Amounts repaid in respect of the Term Loan may not be reborrowed.
Section 2.2.    Making the Term Loan.
(a)    [Intentionally Omitted].
(b)    Advance of Term Loan by Lenders.  Each Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. (Brussels Time) on the Agreement Date, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same-day funds in Euros, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan 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 Borrower by delivering such funds to the Borrower’s Account.  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 SWIFT payment identification number or similar number with respect to the delivery of such funds.
Section 2.3.    Reduction of the Commitments.  Each Lender’s Commitment shall terminate upon the making of its Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan on the Agreement Date.
Section 2.4.    Repayments and Prepayments.
(a)    Optional Prepayments.  Subject to clause (c) below, the Borrower may, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay pro rata among the Lenders the outstanding amount of the Term Loan in whole or in part with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid.  Each such notice of a prepayment shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of the Term Loan to be prepaid.  Each partial prepayment of the Term Loan shall be in an amount equal to not less than an aggregate principle amount of €5,000,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000,000 in excess thereof.
(b)    Payment on Maturity Date.  The Borrower shall pay any remaining unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan in full on the Maturity Date.
(c)    Interest and Costs on Principal Amounts Prepaid.  All repayments and prepayments under this Section 2.4 shall be made together with accrued interest to the date 




    
22
ATL 21192099v3







of such payment on the principal amount paid and, in the event that the Borrower prepays any amount of the Term Loan before the Maturity Date, any amounts owing to the Lenders pursuant to Section 11.2.
Section 2.5.    Interest.
(a)    Ordinary Interest.  The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan owing to the Lenders from the date of the Term Loan until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to, at all times during each Interest Period, the sum of (i) the EURIBOR Rate for such Interest Period, plus (ii) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears on (A) the last day of such Interest Period, and (B) the Maturity Date.
(b)    Default Interest.  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, to charge interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan 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.
Section 2.6.    Minimum Interest Rates and Payments.
(a)    The various rates of interests provided for in this Agreement (including, without limitation, under Section 2.5 or Section 2.8) are minimum interest rates.
(b)    If a deduction on account of Swiss Withholding Tax is imposed on interest payments to be made by the Borrower, and should Section 11.4(a) be unlawful for any reason (where this would otherwise be required by the terms of Section 11.4(a)) then the applicable interest rate in relation to that interest payment date will be the interest rate which would have otherwise been used to calculate the interest amount payable on the interest payment date divided by the difference between 1 and the rate at which the relevant tax deduction is required to be made under Swiss domestic tax law and/or applicable double taxation treaties (where the rate at which the relevant tax deduction is required to be made is for this purpose expressed as a fraction of 1) and the Borrower shall be obliged to pay the relevant interest on that interest payment date at the adjusted rate in accordance with this Section 2.6; and make the tax deduction on the recalculated interest.
(c)    Without prejudice to the foregoing, all references to a rate of interest in this Agreement shall be construed accordingly and all provisions in Section 11.4(a) shall apply to the tax deduction on the recalculated interest payment.




    
23
ATL 21192099v3







(d)    If requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent those documents which are required by law and applicable double taxation treaties to be provided by the payer of such tax for each relevant Lender to prepare a claim for refund of Swiss Withholding Tax. In the event Swiss Withholding Tax is refunded to the Lender by the Swiss Federal Tax Administration, the relevant Lender shall pay an amount to the Borrower which will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-tax position as it would have been in had the deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax not been required to be made by the Borrower.
Section 2.7.    Continuation of Interest Periods.  Unless timely notice of prepayment is given by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.4(a), on the last day of each Interest Period, the entire principal amount of the Term Loan will automatically be continued for an additional Interest Period of 3 months.
Section 2.8.    Payments and Computations.
(a)    The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder free and clear of any setoff or counterclaim, with such payment being paid not later than 11:00 a.m. (Brussels Time) on the day when due, in the case of any reimbursements of costs or expenses of the Administrative Agent or any Lender incurred in a currency other than Euros, in the currency in which such costs and expenses are incurred, and in the case of principal or interest on the Term Loan, any fees under the Fee Letter or any other amounts payable under this Agreement, in Euros, to the Administrative Agent in same-day funds by deposit of such funds to (i) the Administrative Agent’s Account with respect to payments in Euros or (ii) to such account as the Administrative Agent may designate with respect to payments in any other currencies.  The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter (and in any event, if received from the Borrower by the time specified in the preceding sentence, on the day of receipt) cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by the 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 the 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 10.7(e), 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 Obligations 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 




    
24
ATL 21192099v3







each Lender ratably in accordance with such Lender’s proportionate share of the principal amount of all the Term Loan then outstanding, in repayment or prepayment of the outstanding portion of the Term Loan 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 and fees payable by the Borrower shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee 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 fees, as the case may be.
(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 Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has 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 the 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 a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with its then-applicable policies regarding interbank compensation.
Section 2.9.    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 the Borrower in respect of any Obligations hereunder, it shall distribute such payment to the Lenders based on its Pro Rata Share of such payment received by the Administrative Agent.
(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) (i) 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 (1) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (2) 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 




    
25
ATL 21192099v3







hereunder at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time; or (ii) 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 (1) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender at such time to (2) 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 Borrower agrees 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 the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
Section 2.10.    Intentionally Omitted.
Section 2.11.    Defaulting Lenders.
(a)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the funding of its Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan on the Agreement Date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the Agreement Date in accordance with Section 2.2(b) and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the requesting Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.  If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made its Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan available to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent makes available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay or pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount and to pay interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid or paid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at such time under Section 2.5 to the Term Loan and (ii) in the case of such Lender, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with its then-applicable policies regarding interbank compensation. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount 




    
26
ATL 21192099v3







so paid shall constitute such Lender’s portion of the Term Loan for purposes of this Agreement.
(b)    The failure of any Lender to make the portion of the Term Loan to be made by it on the Agreement Date shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its portion of the Term Loan on the Agreement Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the portion of the Term Loan to be made by such other Lender on the Agreement Date.
(c)    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, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:
(i)    If such Defaulting Lender is an Impacted 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; and
(ii)    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 8 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.5 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; and SECOND, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.  Any payments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

ARTICLE 9. 
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT


Section 9.1.    Authorization and Action.  Each Lender hereby 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 9 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, 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; 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 personal 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 its 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.
Section 9.2.    Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc.  Neither the 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 the Borrower, 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 and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with the Loan Documents by any other Person;

(f)    shall not be responsible to any Lender 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 to comply with any obligation to be performed by such Lender 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 or Loan Party referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”;




    
40
ATL 21192099v3







(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 for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys selected by it with reasonable care 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 electronic message, internet 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; and 
(n)    in determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of the Term Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of the Term Loan.
The exculpatory provisions of this Article 9 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 the Administrative Agent.
Section 9.3.    Administrative Agent, in its Individual Capacity and Affiliates.  With respect to any Commitment and any portion of the Term Loan made by Rabobank or any Affiliate of Rabobank, Rabobank and its Affiliate, as applicable, shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it (or its Affiliate, as applicable) were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Rabobank (or its Affiliate, as applicable) 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.

Each Lender 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 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.
Section 9.5.    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 8) as it deems in its discretion to be advisable for the protection of the Lenders, 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.
Section 9.6.    Indemnification.  Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) 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 the Borrower under Section 10.4, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower.  For purposes of this Section, the Lenders’ respective ratable shares of any amount shall be determined, at any time, with reference to:

(a)    at any time after the funding of the Term Loan on the Agreement Date, the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan outstanding at such time and owing to the respective Lenders; or
(b)    at any time prior to funding the Term Loan on the Agreement Date, their respective unused Commitments at such time.
Section 9.7.    Successor Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. 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, 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 the 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 9 and Section 10.4 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 the Administrative Agent.
Section 9.8.    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  The Administrative Agent may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent, its agents, financial advisors and counsel) and the Lenders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to any Loan Party, or any of their respective creditors or property, and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any monies, securities or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to the Administrative Agent for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent, its agents, financial advisors and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent.

connection with this Agreement and the other the Loan Documents, 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 the Borrower agrees to pay on demand all such costs and expenses in respect of any such enforcement relating to itself.
(c)    AGCO and the Borrower each agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent 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)    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

Each of AGCO and the Borrower agree not to assert any claim against the Administrative Agent, 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 Term Loan.

47
ATL 21192099v3







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, to the extent not prohibited by Swiss law to the extent applicable, such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or AGCO against any and all of the Obligations of the Borrower or AGCO now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any Loan Document, irrespective of whether such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower or AGCO 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, 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.
Section 10.6.    Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Lender that such Lender has executed it.
Section 10.7.    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 Borrower and AGCO may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their respective 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) 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 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 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 the Term Loan owing to it); provided that:
(i)    no such assignment or transfer results in more than 3 (three) Non-Qualifying Banks being Lenders under this Agreement;




    
48
ATL 21192099v3







(ii)    in the case of each such assignment (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), the amount of the Term Loan 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 €5,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of €500,000 in excess thereof
(iii)    such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee; 
(iv)    the proposed assignment (if other than an assignment (I) by a Lender to an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such Lender, which Affiliate or Approved Fund is a Qualifying Bank, or (II) of all (but not less than all) of the rights and obligations under this Agreement held by a Lender that is a Non-Qualifying Bank to an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such Lender that is also a Non-Qualifying Bank) shall be approved by (x) the Administrative Agent, such approval by the Administrative Agent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (y) if no Default then exists, the Borrower, such approval by the Borrower not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, consent by the Borrower shall not be deemed to be unreasonably withheld if such assignment would result in the Pro Rata Share of the (i) Term Loan held by Rabobank and its Affiliates being less than fifty percent (50%) of the total of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan; 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 €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).  Such Assignment and Assumption shall indicate whether the assignee is a Qualifying Bank or Non-Qualifying Bank as of such date, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(c)    An assignment, or transfer in relation to a Term Loan will only be effective if made in accordance with this Section 10.7 and the new Lender has given the confirmation required pursuant to Section 3.3. If the new Lender is not a Qualifying Bank, and there are reasonable concerns that the Swiss Federal Tax Administration could look through such Lender and as a result not accept such Lender as one Non-Qualifying Bank Lender only, the Borrower may, prior to consenting to the assignment or transfer, require that such new Lender provide to it a written confirmation signed by the Swiss Federal Tax Administration confirming that such new Lender is considered by the Swiss Federal Tax Administration to be one Non-Qualifying Bank.  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 




    
49
ATL 21192099v3







sufficient to pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent.  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 10.4 and 11.1 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 the Borrower or the performance or observance by the 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;




    
50
ATL 21192099v3







(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; 
(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;
(ix)    such assignee confirms, represents and warrants that its designation as either a Qualifying Bank or a Non-Qualifying Bank provided in the Assignment and Assumption is true and correct; and
(x)    such assignee agrees to permit the Borrower to disclose its identity to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration.
(f)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.2 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 Lenders, their respective Commitments, and the principal amount of the Term Loan owing 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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent 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 the Borrower or any 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 Borrower.




    
51
ATL 21192099v3







(h)    Each Lender may sell participations (without any notice to, or consent of, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or AGCO) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation all or a portion of its rights in the Term Loan) to a financial institution (a “Participant”); provided that:
(i)    such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged;
(ii)    such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations;
(iii)    the Borrower, 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; 
(iv)    the relationship between the Lender and the Participant is that of a debtor and creditor (including in the event of the bankruptcy or similar event of the Lender or the Borrower);
(v)    the Participant will have no proprietary interest in the benefit of this Agreement or in any monies received by the Lender under or in relation to this Agreement; 
(vi)     the Participant will under no circumstances (other than pursuant to an assignment permitted under Section 10.7) be subrogated to, or substituted in respect of, the Lender's claims under this Agreement; 
(vii)    the Participant will under no circumstances (other than pursuant to an assignment permitted under Section 10.7) otherwise have any contractual relationship with, or rights against, the Borrower under or in relation to this Agreement; and
(viii)    the terms of such participation agreement with a Participant (including any sub-participant), shall include provisions, in respect of any sub-participations,  identical to the provisions of this Section 10.7(g) mutatis mutandis.
For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 9.6 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 and AGCO agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 11.1, 11.2 and 11.4 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 11.4 (it being understood that the documentation required 




    
52
ATL 21192099v3







under Section 11.4 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 11.5 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 11.1 and 11.4, 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 or AGCO’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower or AGCO to effectuate the provisions of Section 11.5 with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.5 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 Term Loan 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 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 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 the 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 10.7, disclose to the assignee or Participant or proposed assignee or Participant, any public information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and any information conspicuously labeled by the 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 use reasonable efforts 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 portion of the Term Loan 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 portion of the Term Loan owing to it) to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee.
Section 10.8.    Marshalling; Payments Set Aside.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower or any other

party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.  To the extent that the Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders 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.
Section 10.9.    Intentionally Omitted.
Section 10.10.    Intentionally Omitted.
Section 10.11.    Patriot Act.  Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower and the other Loan Parties in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.
Section 10.12.    Limitations on Obligations of the Borrower.
(a)    If and to the extent that: 
(i)    the Borrower under this Agreement guarantees, indemnifies or otherwise secures or pays obligations owing by any other Person (“Restricted Obligations”) other than obligations of one of its direct or indirect subsidiaries (i.e. obligations of the Borrower’s direct or indirect parent companies (up-stream liabilities) or sister companies (cross-stream liabilities)); and
(ii)    a payment in fulfilling such obligations would, under Swiss law and practice, constitute a repayment of capital (Einlagerückgewähr), a violation of the legally protected reserves (gesetzlich geschützte Reserven) or the payment of a (constructive) dividend (Gewinnausschüttung) by the Borrower or would otherwise be restricted under Swiss corporate law, such Restricted Obligations (and the amount of any payment in relation thereto) shall from time to time be limited to the amount permitted to be paid under Swiss law and practice (such amount being the “Maximum Amount”); provided, that such Maximum Amount shall at no time be less than such the profits and reserves of the Borrower available for distribution as dividends (being the balance sheet profits and any reserves available for this purpose, in each case in accordance with art. 675(2) and art. 671(1) and (2), no. 3 and (4), of the Swiss Federal Code of Obligations) at the time or times payment under or pursuant to this Section 10.12 is requested from the Borrower; and such limitation to the Maximum Amount (as may apply from time to time or not) shall not (generally or definitively) release or discharge the Borrower from its obligations under Section 10.12 in excess thereof, but merely postpone the payment date therefore until such times as payment is again permitted notwithstanding such limitation. Any and all indemnities and guarantees 




    
54
ATL 21192099v3







contained in the Loan Documents including, shall be construed in a manner consistent with the provisos herein contained. 
(b)    In respect of any Restricted Obligations, the Borrower shall:
(i)    if and to the extent required by Applicable Law in force at the relevant time, subject to any applicable double taxation treaty, (x) deduct Swiss Withholding Tax at the rate of 35% (or such other rate as in force from time to time) from any payment made by it in respect of Restricted Obligations, (y) pay any such deduction to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration, and (z) notify and provide evidence to the Administrative Agent that the Swiss withholding tax has been paid to the Swiss Federal tax administration; 
(ii)     as soon as possible after a deduction for Swiss withholding tax is made as required by applicable law, (x) ensure that any Person which is entitled to a full or partial refund of the Swiss withholding tax, is in a position to be so refunded, and (y) in case it has received any refund of the Swiss withholding tax, pay such refund to the Administrative Agent promptly upon receipt thereof.
(iii)    if the enforcement of any Restricted Obligations would be limited as a result of any matter referred to in paragraphs (a) and/or (b) above, that the Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, write up or realize any of its assets shown in its balance sheet with a book value that is significantly lower than the market value of the assets, in case of realization, however, only if such assets are not necessary for the Borrower’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig); and 
(iv)    take all such other measures necessary or useful to allow the Borrower to make the payments and perform the obligations agreed hereunder with a minimum of limitations.
(c)    For the avoidance of doubt, where a deduction for Swiss withholding tax is required pursuant to Section 10.12(b), the obligations under Section 2.6 and Section 11.4(a) remain applicable, except to the extent and for as long as that would cause the Maximum Amount to be exceeded.  This Section 10.12 is without prejudice to the gross-up or indemnification obligations of any Loan Party (other than the Borrower) under this Agreement.
Section 10.13.    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




    
55
ATL 21192099v3







(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.
ARTICLE 11.
INCREASED COSTS, TAXES, ETC.


Section 11.1.    Increased Costs, Alternate Rate of Interest, Illegality, Etc.
(a)    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;
(ii)    subject any Recipient to any tax of any kind (other than Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes) on the Term Loan, loan principal, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii)    impose on any Lender or the European interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than taxes) affecting this Agreement or the Term Loan made by such Lender 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, continuing or maintaining the EURIBOR Rate to or for the account of the 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, the 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.
(b)    If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’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 capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Term Loan made by such Lender to or for the account of the Borrower, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s 




    
56
ATL 21192099v3







policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)    A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount of additional interest or the amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower and AGCO, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt of the Borrower and AGCO thereof.
(d)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender 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 notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’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).
(e)    If (i) Lenders owed more than fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan notify the Administrative Agent that the EURIBOR Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of maintaining the Term Loan at the EURIBOR Rate for such Interest Period, or (ii) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the EURIBOR Rate for the Term Loan, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the affected Lenders, whereupon the obligation of the Lenders to maintain and continue the EURIBOR Rate shall be suspended, and the Term Loan will convert to an interest rate comprised of an alternative basis mutually acceptable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lenders, as applicable (the “Substitute Basis”), which Substitute Basis shall be negotiated in good faith between the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lenders, as applicable, within fifteen (15) days after notice and demand by or through the Administrative Agent (the “Negotiation Period”). If at the expiration of the Negotiation Period, the Administrative Agent and/or the affected Lenders, on one hand, and the Borrower on the other hand, have agreed upon a Substitute Basis, the Substitute Basis shall be retroactive to, and take effect from, the beginning of the applicable Interest Period. If, at the expiration of the Negotiation Period, a Substitute Basis shall not have been agreed upon pursuant to the previous sentence of this clause (e), the interest rate payable on the Term Loan for the applicable Interest Period shall be the interest at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin plus an amount reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, as applicable, to reflect the cost of maintaining the Term Loan for such Interest Period (plus any additional rate of interest required under Section 2.5(b)).  Any such 




    
57
ATL 21192099v3







determination by the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, as applicable, pursuant to the preceding sentence shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower.  The procedures specified in this clause (e) shall apply to each Interest Period succeeding the first Interest Period to which they were applied unless and until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
(f)    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 Applicable Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to maintain the Term Loan at the EURIBOR Rate hereunder, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent:
(i)    the obligation of such Lender to continue the Term Loan for an additional Interest Period at the EURIBOR Rate shall be suspended; and
(ii)    the Term Loan will, on the earlier of the last day of the then existing Interest Period and such date as may be required by law, convert into a loan bearing interest at the Substitute Basis as determined in accordance with clause (e) above,
until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist
Section 11.2.    Breakage Costs.  In the event that the Borrower prepays (either voluntarily, pursuant to Section 2.4, or as may be required by the Lenders as a result of an Event of Default, pursuant to Article 8 or for any other reason, or by an Eligible Assignee to a Lender upon an assignment of rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.5), any portion of the principal amount of the Term Loan on any day prior to the Maturity Date (other than in each case on the last day of an Interest Period after giving timely notice of such prepayment pursuant to Section 2.4(a)), the 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 in connection with such prepayment, including without limitation, any and all losses, costs or expenses incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to maintain the Term Loan for the remaining portion of the Interest Period, 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 11.2 and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such certificate or, if later, on the date of any such prepayment; provided, however, with respect to any repayment or prepayment required by the Lenders as a result of an Event of Default pursuant to Article 8, the amount shown as due on such certificate shall be immediately due and payable by the Borrower on the date the Borrower receives such certificate.

Section 11.3.    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. (Brussels Time) on the second Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.
(b)    The obligation of the 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, the 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 the Borrower such excess.
Section 11.4.    Taxes.
(a)    Any and all payments by any Loan Party hereunder shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.8, free and clear of and without deduction or withholdings 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 




    
59
ATL 21192099v3







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 the Borrower with 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.
(d)    Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 10.2, the original receipt of payment thereof or a certified copy of such receipt.  In the case of any payment hereunder by the Borrower through an account or branch outside the United States or on behalf of the Borrower by a payor that is not a United States person, if the Borrower determines that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, the Borrower 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) of this Section, the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.
(e)    Each Lender shall, other than the Initial Lender, on the date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it became a Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but only so long thereafter as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with (i) in the case of each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States (A) if such Lender claims an exemption from withholding tax pursuant to its portfolio interest exception, (I) a statement of the Lender, signed under penalty of perjury, that it is not (1) a “bank” as described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (2) a ten percent (10%) shareholder of the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code), or (3) a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code, and (II) a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, (B) if such Lender claims an exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; (C) 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; (D) 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, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; (E) such other form or 




    
60
ATL 21192099v3







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; and (ii) in the case of each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of jurisdiction where the Borrower is resident, such valid and fully completed forms, as are required by the applicable tax authority of such jurisdiction, indicating that such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the country within which the Borrower is resident that reduces the rate of interest withholding tax on payments under this Agreement (each such Lender entitled to such benefits, a “Treaty Lender”).
(f)    If the appropriate forms provided by a Lender under subsection (e) of this Section 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) of this Section in respect of United States or the jurisdiction wherein the Borrower is organized with respect to interest paid at such date by the 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 subsection (e) of this Section requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the Agreement Date by Internal Revenue Service form W-8ECI or W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or other form that the 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 Borrower and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information.
(g)    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 clause (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 10.7 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 




    
61
ATL 21192099v3







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 clause (f).
(h)    For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form described in subsection (e) of this Section (other than (A) 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 (B) if such form otherwise is not required under subsection (e) of this Section), 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 Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.
(i)    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 11.4 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 11.4), 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 (i) (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 (i), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (i) 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.
(j)    Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 11.4 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder.
(k)    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 




    
62
ATL 21192099v3







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 the Borrower 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 Borrower 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 (k), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Agreement Date.
(l)    The Borrower shall not be required to make an additional payment or indemnification under subsections (a) or (c) of this Section to any specific Lender with respect to Swiss Withholding Tax (i) if on the date on which the payment falls due such Lender is a Treaty Lender and the Borrower is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender without the tax deduction had such Lender not failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form described in subsection (e) of this Section (other than (A) 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 (B) if such form otherwise is not required under subsection (e) of this Section), or (ii) with respect to any Swiss Withholding Tax payable as a result of a breach of the Swiss Non-Bank Rules, if (A) any representation made by such Lender made under Section 3.3, in the case of any Initial Lender, or as required under Section 10.7, in the case of any assignee of an Initial Lender, that such Lender is a Qualifying Bank proves to be false at the time such representation was made and such Swiss Withholding Tax would not have been payable if such representation were true, or (B) such breach of the Swiss Non-Bank Rules is the result of (I) such Lender breaching the requirements and limitations for assignments or participations under Section 10.7, or (II) to the extent such Lender was a Qualifying Bank at the time such Lender became a party to this Agreement, such Lender ceasing to be a Qualifying Bank because of a change in such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office, jurisdiction of incorporation, branch location or because of such Lender ceasing to effectively conduct banking activities as its principal purpose.
Section 11.5.    Mitigation; Replacement of a Lender.  
(a)    If any Lender requests compensation under Sections 11.1(a) and (b), gives a notice under Section 11.1(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 11.4, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower or AGCO) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Term Loan 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 Section 11.1(a) and (b) or Section 11.4, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for a notice under Section 11.1(f), and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would 




    
63
ATL 21192099v3







not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)    Subject to the second and third paragraphs of this Section 11.5(b), if:
(i)    a Lender requests compensation under Section 11.1 and other Lenders holding at least one-third of the aggregate amount of the Term Loan shall not have made a similar request;
(ii)    a Lender requests compensation under Section 11.4(a) with respect to any Taxes other than Swiss Withholding Tax;
(iii)    a Lender that was a Qualifying Bank at the time such Lender became a party to this Agreement ceases be a Qualifying Bank and after such Lender ceases to be a Qualifying Bank there would be more than 3 (three) Non-Qualifying Banks as Lenders under this Agreement;
(iv)    a Lender becomes insolvent, goes into receivership or fails to make the portion of the Term Loan required to be made by it hereunder; or
(v)    any Lender that is not the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent becomes a Non-Consenting Lender,
then for so long as such condition 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 the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall replace such Affected Lender with an Eligible Assignee (provided, that in the case of any Lender replaced pursuant to clause (b)(iii) of this Section, such Eligible Assignee shall also be a Qualifying Bank) identified by the Borrower (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 to the Replacement Lender pursuant to Section 10.7; provided, however, that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to identify or locate a Replacement Lender for the Borrower (it being expressly agreed that in such circumstances it is the Borrower’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 the Borrower 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 to the Replacement Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and Section 10.7 for a purchase price equal to the sum of the principal amount of such Affected Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan, 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 10.7(a)) and the payment to the Administrative Agent by

the Borrower on behalf of such Affected Lender of the assignment fee specified in Section 10.7(a)(v), 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 Borrower to such Affected Lender under Sections 11.1, 11.2, 11.3 and 11.4 with respect to events occurring or obligations arising before or as a result of such replacement shall survive such replacement. 
The Borrower may not exercise its rights under this Section with respect to any Lender if a Default has occurred and is continuing.
